Aiiirua, juiy z. mere will be a much better wheat crop tn Athena and vicinity, the great wheat section of Umatilla county, than has been predicted. The grain Is filling fairly well and there promises to be many 46-bushel yields hereabouts. C. A. Barrett and others predict 75 per cent of a normal crop, with an average of 35 bushels to the acre. This will cause but little loss If the prices are as good as Is being claimed. A rain would, of course, help the crop con siderably. It Is thought that harvest ing will begin about here about the 10th of the month. The members of the Wheatgrowers assoelatlon are already receiving sacks. President C. A.

In "Memories of Eight Parliaments" air. mcy, the author, tells a storr about Mr. Pyne, member for West Wa- terford, who, when under the crimes act a warrant was issued for his arrest in 1887, shut himself up In his Irish home, Lbfarney castle, had the treucb M filled with water, the drawbridge up, took in supplies bj a window In the battlements and thus lived for months, white be poked fun at the do- 1 icemen who were wandering about below with the warrant In their pock- eta. The originality of Mr. Pine's mind." continues Mr. Lucy, "was further indi cated upon his watch. On Its dial be had roughly engraved 'Pay no rent' Whenever in troubled times any of his neighbors came to htm ior advice as to what they ahould do in the presence of a demand for rent, Mr. Pyne solemnly shook his bead. 'I cannot,' be said, 'express my views on the subject for Mr. Balfour says they are illegal. But I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll show you what time of day it is,' and, holding out his watch, the perturbed tenant read upon it the admonitory Wend. Pay no rent " EAS AND SUBSCRIBE NOW FOR. THE T: OREGONIAN GET THREE MAGAZINES FREE. Laws Against Beggars, Begging was a capital offense In England in the days of Henry VIII., when the laws were very severe against beggars, and under a statute passed In that reign any one caught begging for the first time, being nei ther aged nor Infirm, was whipped at the cart's tall. If caught a second time his ear was silt or bored through with a hot iron. If caught a third time he suffered death as a felon nnl some honest person having HO in goods or 40 shillings in land or some householder approved by the Justices would take the offender Into his serv ice for two years, entering Into a bond of f 10. So the law of England remaln- ea ror sixty years. First enacted by Henry VIII., It continued unrepealed through the reigns of Edward and Mary. Reconsidered under Elizabeth, the same law was again formally pass ed, the two legislative houses thereby expressing their conviction that it was better for a man not to live at all than to live the life of a beggar.

The lapidary was about to cut the tall off a tadpole shaped yellow dia mond. "The chances are," he said, "that this fellow will turn white from terror when I split him. If he does his value will go up 200 per cent" The lapidary set his steel knife In position. He prepared to strike on the knife's back the momentous blow. "Wish me luck," he said. And the hammer fell the amputated tall dropped Into the box underneath, and, lo, the yellow diamond that had been split was now quite white.
