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. Barrett re
ports that a carload was received yes
terday, and they will be comm m
daily from now on.

years, and it Is regretted that he will
go out of business in the city. He has
not made any definite plans as to

The Message en Hie Watch.
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-

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

I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll show you

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.

Tainttd Diamonds.
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.
"The yellow taint," the cutter ex
plained, "was only in the tall. Tet
the taint was reflected all through the
stone, and this made It seem of a uni
form yellow throughout Now the
taint is gone, and our yellow diamond
Is a pure white one.

Epigrams of an Indian.
Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces was a
truly remarkable Indian. He rarely
spoke, but when he did his lips drop
ped wisdom. Here are a few of the
sayings attributed to him:
"Look twice at a two faced man."
"Cursed be the hand that scalps the
reputation of the dead."
"The eye tells what the tongue would
hide."
'Fire water courage ends in trem
bling fear."
"Big name often stands on small
legs."
"Finest fur may cover toughest
meat

echo you may do so with a squaw."
