TUOCGHTS OF FALL TIME.
Keep your thoughts on fall time;
you'll soon be at the place
Where a feller feels like sing
in' of old "Amazin'
Grace."
The country then is nigh,
Where your possessions lie;
You'l roam through golden
meadows
With your heart a-beatin'
high.
Keep your thoughts on fall time;
It's hurryin' along;
It's a jig-tune to your spirits,
an' a jubilation song. .
The country rich and bright.
With Paradise in sight.
When you roam through
golden meadows.
By rivers of delight!

county much alfalfa Is being raised.
In reply to an Inquiry from the East
Oregonlan Prof. A. M. Ten Eyck of
the Kansas experiment station said:
"There is perhaps no better dry
land farming crop for western Kansas
U.nn alfalfa. The crop is now being
raised on the uplands of western Kan
sas the method of culture being to
plant In rows and cultivate. By this
method good crops of seed are pro
duced. No very . large crops of for
age are secured, however, but the
seed crop is a very paying one."
In an address which this same
sentleman delivered at Hays, Kansas,
on June 7 of this year, he spoke as fol
lows regarding alfalfa raising:
"I believe that alfalfa will do more
for western agriculture in the next 50
years than all the other crops which
farmers may be able to grow In this
region. The soil of western Kansas
and of much of the western plains is
usually rich in the mineral elements
of plant-food, but as stated before, It
is often lacking In humus, which be
comes especially noticeable if the land
has been farmed continuously to wheat
for a few years. By growing alfalfa
it is possible to increase the supply
of humus in the soil.' and the roots of
the plant penetrating deep into the
J snbsoil disintegrate and deepen the
oil, ana auogetner gTeauy improve
its texture, giving It greater, capacity
to absorb and hold water. The bene
ficial effect on the soil of growing al
falfa is only incidental to the rapid
introduction of the crop throughout
the west. The great value of the crop
as a money-maker Is the main factor
which Is introducing It into the agri
culture of the central west. Where
alfalfa can be successfully marketed
or fed, no other crop grown In the
west will yield so great a net profit
per acre in a series of years."
Why not raise more dry land alfalfa
in Umatilla county?
what d' you fink dat stiff tells dat
guy to tell me?"
"I've no idea," said the listener.
"He tells him," concluded the an
gry one, "f tell me dat he ain't in!"

WANTED MOUF..
A hypochondriac friend of a Nan
tasket Maine, who was visiting the lat
ter's place on the coast of Massachu
setts, imagined that he was deriving
some benefit by reason of the sea
water he was drinking.
One-day, as the two strolled along
the beach, the hypochondriac said to
his friend:
"Dick, this seawater Is really help
ing my dyspepsia. I've already taken
two glasses of it this morning. Do you
think I might take a third?"
"Well." returned the friend, with
a gravity equal to that of his friend,
"I don't think a third would be miss
ed, Tom." August Lippincotfs.

One of the attaches of the American
embassy as London tells a story
wherein Michael Joseph Barry, the
poet, who was appointed a police
magistrate In Dublin, was the prin
cipal figure. There was brought be
fore him an Irish-American, charged
with suspicious conduct. The officer
making the arrest stated, among oth
er things, that the culprit was wearing
a "republican hat" "Does your hon
or know what that means?" was the
inquiry put to the court by the accus
ed lawyer. '"It may be," suggested
Barry, "that it means a hat without
a crown." Denver News.

Senator Gore's charges of attempt
ed bribery In connection with the sale
of Choctaw lands has brought forth
denials from the accused men. But
men who will attempt to bribe legis
lators will not hesitate to deny the
fact.
Senator Bourne owes office mainly
to his advocacy of the direct primary
tew and of the principles that sena
tors should be lected by direct vote of
the people. He won out because he
had the Judgment and foresight to
"get right" upon those Issues. Im
mediately after the legislature rati
fied the election of Senator Bourne the
Portland Oregonian discussed the
eleetion and said:
"His ambition to become a United
States senator is of long standing. He
has finally attained it by encouraging
and assisting the people of Oregon to
break up the political rings which
have dominated the state, not always J
to iu advantage, and to take both po
litical power and much of the machin
ery of government directly under their
own control. Mr. Bourne has succeed
ed in making the people of Oregon
telieve that he is the unwavering
friend of the direct primary, the ref
erendum and the popular election of
senators. It waa because of this
widely accredited' devotion to a great
principle that Mr. Bourne received
his large majority of the popular
vote last June."
At that time no political campaign
as underway and the Oregonlan
spoke truthfully and frankly. Now
it is trying to deceive people by say
ing that Bournelsm Is the Issue in the
coming election. The Oregonian
knows well that Bourne Is tout an in
cident It is the direct primary that
Is at Issue. The aasemblyltes want
to annul that law while those who op
pose the assembly scheme hold that
the law should be observed both in
spirit and in letter.
When standpat papers like the Ore
gonian attack Bourne for upholding
the direct primary and popular leg'
. lslation they only pour water on his
wheel. He could want nothing bet
ter than to be made the champion of
these measures. He will win out as
long as he upholds them as he has
done while other prominent repub
licans lack the sagacity to do so,
But there Is nothing to the charge
that Bourne is the big Issue in this
election. His term does not expire
for two years and whether or not he
Is to succeed himself cannot be de
tcrmined at the coming election. That
matter will be determined two years
from now when, if he wishes a reelec.
tirn, he will have to ask for the pop
ular endorsement at the open primary
and subsequently in the state election,
When machine republicans contend
Bourne Is an issue In the coming
elertion they are merely trying to raise
a dust to obscure the real situation
It is an old trick.

A little girl had been so very naugh
ty that her mother found it necessary
to shut her up in a dark closet in
that family the direct punishment
for the worst offense. Fifteen min
utes the door had been locked with
out a sound coming from behind it.
Not a whimper, not a sniffle.
At last the stern but anxious par
ent unlocked the' closet door and
peered into the darkness. She could
see nothing.
"What are you doing In there?" she
cried. .
And then a little voice piped from
the blackness:
"I thpit on your new dress and I
thpit on your new hat, and I'm waiting
for more thpit to come to thpit on

"I was on my way home, about nine
o'clock when I met Levy coming out
of a drug store. He Bald he had been
in there to get some medicine for his
wife, who was sick, and he wanted
me to go with him to his house and
stay with him for awhile. He was all
broke up, and worrying about his
wife, and hated to be alone, so I
went up with him.
"I only intended to stay a little
while, but we got to talking and talk
ing, and the next thing I knew it was
after two o'clock."
"What do you mean by telling me
such a bunch of stuff? Why, Mr.
Levy and his wife have been here all
the evening, and didn't leave here
until after midnight."
Well,' replied Goldstein, "that's
what I had my mind made up to
tell you and I'm going to stick to
it!" Selected.
AN HISTORIC BLUNDER.
In 176 Horatio Seymour declined
a sixth nomination for governor, and
four years afterward there was-every
reason to believe that It was only his
own unwillingness which prevented
his receiving a second presidential
nomination. In the epoch Immedi
ately prior to. and for some years
af:er 1878, his name had only one
political compeer in the Empire state
that of Samuel J. Tilden. Buffalo
Times
If Seymour instead pf Hancock had
been nominated In 1880, the improve
ment would have been Immense, and
Seymour probably would have been
elected. This state was the deciding
factor In the electoral college, and
Seymour could have carried it easily
against Garfield, whose plurality
over Hancock, who had no particu
lar popularity here, was only 25,000.
But there was only one man to nomi
nate In 1880, and he should have
been named with unanimity and en
thusiasm. We refer to the greatest
statesman of that time, Samuel J.
Tilden, who was elected and defraud
ed of the presidency four years be
fore. The failure to do this was one
of the grossest blunders a democratic
national convention ever committed.
for its stupidity deprived the party of
an irresistible issue that would have
swept through the Amercan love of
fair play. Troy (N. T.) Press.

A GOOD DRV LAND CROP.
Local landowners who want to see

dc well to try the raising of dry land
alfalfa. It is now well known that
alfalfa Is not solely an irrigated crop
It may be raised In dry land sections
also and is one of the best drouth re

A teacher in one of our elementary
schools had noticed a striking Pla
tonic friendship that existed between
Tommy and little Mary, two of her
pupils.
Tommy was a bright enougn young-
ter. but he wasn't Qisposea to prose
cute his studies with much energy,
and his teacher saw that unless he
stirred himself before the end of the
ear he wouldn't be promoted.
"You must study harder," she told
him. "or else you won't pass, how
would you like to stay back in this
pIms another vear and have little
Marv o ahead of you?"
'Aw," said Tommy, "I guess tnere 11

THE "MARSEILLAISE."
In the reign of terror under Freron
and Barras when hundreds of vie
tims were carved by the fuIIlotine,
and the people rose against the aris
tocracy, was born the hymn of
Frince, composed by Rouget de l isle.
He was an officer or engineers, and
at a banquet was asked to compose
a war-song. He wrote In his room
that night before going to bed, and
the next morning his nosfess, the wife
of the mayor of Strasburg, tried
on a piano, and In the afternoon the
orchestra of the theater played It In
the square f Strasburg, where it
created much excitement and gath
ered many volunteers. Rouget called
it a song for the Army of the Rhine,
but subsequently It was sung by a
regiment of volunteers, mostly assas
sins, who marched out of Marseilles
to Paris, wehere it was appropriated
by the capital and called the Hymn
des Marseilles. But Joseph Rouget
the author, died In poverty. Desh-

THAT BOY AGAIN.
SCRAPPING SKYSCRAPERS.
Mr. Dooley once remarked that in
Chicago they were tearing down a
twenty-story building to make way
for a modern structure. This was
considered a great Joke in the Dooley
days, yet that is exactly what Is hap
pening today in New York. The Gil
lender building at Wall and Nassau
Streets, twenty stories high, twelve
years old, steel framed and thorough
v substantial, is being torn down to
make room for a "skyscraper." There
is more rent to the square inch of
ground, the owners figure, in a tall
building than in a squatty twenty
story structure. We used to let
buildings stand until they showed
signs of falling; now we tear them
down when the profits begin to wab
ble. From "Success Magazine." v
THE USUAL WAY.
While passing a building that was in
the course of construction An Irish
man was hit on the head by a brick
which fell from one of the upper
stories. He was taken home and put
to bed and for days was seriously 111,
suffering severe pain. He employed
lawyer to collect damages, and It
was such a clear case 01 negligence
on the part of the contractors that
they settled with the lawyer for J500
without going to court.
The lawyer then went to the Irish
man's house and was" shown to the
sick room.
"Well, Pat," he said, "I have good
news for you. The contractors have
settled for your Injury. I got $600
from them. Here's $50 for you.
Pat stared at him through his
bandages.
"What do you mean by saying '$60
for me?'"
"Why, that's your share. I get the
rest for lawyer's fees and expenses.
"Say," yelled Pat, rising up on his
elbow, "who got hit with the brick
anyway?"
