FLASH.
TRK FIRMAN'S STORY.
Flash a white-foot sorrel, an' run on 8X0. 3;
Not much stable tnanars -an average horse to
i 80QJ m
Notional in his methods strong in loves an
hates; ...
Hot very much respected, or popular 'mongst bis
.-. mates.?
Satl.'am' moody, an' sleepy on "off" an' quiet
" days; ' .
Jail of turb'lent sour looks, an small scarcastic
ways;
Scowled on' bit at his partner, and banged the
stable floor
"With other tricks intended to designate life a
bore.
But when, be'tit day or night time, he heard the
alarm bell ring,
He'd rwsu for his place in the harness with a
regular ticrer SDrinz:
An' watch with, nervous shivers the clasp of
buckle an' band,
Until it wm niainlv evident he d like to lend a
hand.
An' when the word was given, away he would
rush an' tear.
As if a thousan' witches were .rumplin' up his
hair,
An' wake his mate up crazy with its magnetic
charm:
For every hoof-beat sounded regular fire-
alarm t
Never a horse jockey would worship an, admire
Like Flaan in front of bisongine, a racin' with a
faro;
Never a horse so lazy, so dawdlin', an so slack
As Flash upon bis return trip a-drawin' the en
g!ne back.
Now. when the different horses gets tender-foot
ed an' old
They ain't no use in our business; so Flash was
finally sold
To auite a respectable milkman: who found it
not so fine
A-bossin' ot God s croatare outside tv their reg-
'lar line.
Seems as if I could see Flash a moopin' along
here now,
A-feelin' that he was simply nasi tant to a cow;
Bat sometimes he'd imagine he heard the alarm
bell's din.
An' jump an rear for a minute before they could
noia nun in;
An' once, in srnte o' his master, he strolled in
'tnonst us chaDS.
To talk with the other horses, of former fires,
uerhaDs:
Whereat the milkman kicked bim; wberefor, us
bovs to Dlease.
Ue betreed the horse's pardon upon his bended
kaees.
But one day, for a big fire we were makin' a
dam.
Both o' the horses we bad on somewhat resem-
blin' Flash.
Yellin' an' ringin' an' rushin', with excellent
voice and' heart,
We passed the poor old fellow, a-tugein away at
his cart.
If ever I see an old horse grow upwards into a
new,
If ever I see a driver whose traps behind him
flew,
'Twas that old horse, a rompin' an' rushin'
down the track,
An' that respectable milkman a-tryin' to hold
him back.
Away ho dashed like a dyclone for the bead of
So. 3,
Gained the lead an' kept it, an' steered his jour
ney free:
Dodgin' the wheels an' horses, an' still on the
keenest "silk,"
And' furnishin' all that district with good ;o-
spectable milk. '
Crowd a-vellin' an' runnin and vainly, holler
"W'hoa I"
Milkman braoin' an' sawin', with never a bit
. of show;
Firemen laughin' and chucklin', an hollerin',
"Good I Go in I"
Hoss a-gettin' down to it, an' sweepin' along
like sin.
Finally come where the fire was, halted with a
"thud," I
Sent tbe respectable milkman heels over head in
mud;
Watohed till he see the engine properly workin'
there
After which he relinquished all interest in
tae affair.
Mooped an wilted anV.dawdled faded away
once more; ; 4. '
Took up histoid occ'pation of yotin' life a bore; !
Laid down in his harness, and sorry I am te
say ; '.'
The milkman he had drawn there drew his
dead body away.
That's the whole o' my story; I've seen, mor'n
once or twice
. That poor dumb animals' anions are full of hu
man advice;
An' if you ask what Flash taught, I simply an
swer you, then,
That poor old horse was a symbol of some intel
ligent men. '

A WIFE MISTAKE.
Mrs. Hopgood prided herself on being
'one of the best housekeepers. She was
one of those rapid housewives who pur
sues an atom of dust as a hunter might
pursue a stag. No blood-natared fly
ever dared to buzz within her dainty
vails. No oat purred on her hearth
stone. Plants were tabooed because their
leaflets would fall. Canary birds were
ruthlessly excluded lest they should
scatter seed. Sunshine was excluded as
on aroh-enemy. ; "It brings flies and
fades the carpets," said Mrs. Hopgood.
As for Mr. Hopgood and the children,
they lived mostly in the kitchen.
"I can't have the boys' muddy boots
tramping over the carpets, and the girls
sewing in the parlor,", said Mrs. Hop
good. "As for Hopgood, I don't care
where he sits. One place is as good as
another where he is concerned. j
The Hopgood family took their meals
in the kitchen. . j
"I've got a dining-room as nice as any-;
body's," said Mrs. Hopgood; "with a
real carved sideboard, With a marble top,
and silver polished till it's better than a
looking-glass. : Bat where's the use turn
ing things: all upside down, just for
one's family? Oommoh crockery ware
and good bone handled knives are just
as good for everyday use."
"Mamma," said Elsie Hopgood, a
cheer j -checked girl of sixteen, "I should
like to sit in the parlor sometimes. Mrs.
Momfort and daughter use theirs every
evening, and it looks so pretty and pleas
ant in there.' ' , - j
"Stuff and nonsense!" said Mrs. Hop
good, sharply. "I keep house myself,
after my own fashion, and I give others
leave to do the same." - j
"But, mamma," replied Elsie, ''I was
thinking how I should like to invite all
the girls here 'some evening, and have
tea, and afterward . some little games.
I've .been asked out so many times with
out responding, and really I am getting
eshstaed to go."
'Tnen you had better stay at home,"!
said Mrs. Hopgood, polishing vigorous
ly away at the stem of her silver card re-l
oeiver. "I think I see myself with all
the young folks in town capering on my
brusHels carpet, and cake crumbs and
melted cream daubed over everything."
Elsie made no answer, but her coun
tenanoe quickly fell. j
"I wish mamma was like any one
else," she said to herself, the tears ob
scuring her eyes, "I wish she was like
Kate Pricketfs mother, who lets her.
have company every Thursday evening!
John Elton wants me to marry him. If
I married him I could have a bouse of
my own, and do just as I pleased."
"Mother," said Mr. Hopgood, a week
or two afterward, with a troubled face;
"is it true that our Elsie is out walking
evenings with jonn Jtatonv lie is a
worthless, mssipated fellow, ana no nt
associate for any girl."
"Mercy on us! 1 don t know, said
Mrs, Hopgood, with a perturbed face.
"I supposed she was with Kate JPncfcett
or Clara Momfort. I'm a great deal too
busy with picking and housekeeping to
run at a giddy girl s heels the whole
time. But I am going to commence
cleaning to-morrow, and then I'll war
rant 1 11 give her enough to do to keep
her or.t of mischief.
"Mother," said Ieaao Hopgood,
gravely, "sometimes I think that if we
made home a little more attractive to our
children "
"Oh, nonsense! quickly interrupted
his wife. "I suppose you'd like us to
have tableaux, like Mrs. Momfort; or a
magic lantern like the Mickfords. Our
children have not been brought up in
that way."
Mr. Hopgood said no more. Mrs.
Hopgood, to use aer own expression
was "in the thick of house cleaning'
the next day, with the carpets rolled into
heaps, the floors spattered with soap
suds, and her head tied up in a pocket
handkerchief when the door suddenly
opened.
"Take care of my .pan of soap suds
and soda!" she cried shrilly. "Oh, it is
you, is it, Ally
"Ypb mntlinr. it,' ttia." hauI AlpYan

into ousmesa as junior partner 10 nis
father. "I say, do leave off washing a
minute and attend to met Byerson's
in town my old chum, you know only
for one day, and I have asked him to
dinner.
"To dinner!" almost
screamed Mrs.
brush in con
Hopgood, are
Hopgood, dropping her
sternation ; ' 'Alexander
vou crazy? Of course I
can't have him
to dinner; look at the
confusion this
house is in."
"Oh, he won't mind that, mother; Ry
erson is a thorougly good fellow. Just
let him sit down to anything with the
rest of as."
"I shall do nothing of the sort, Alex
ander," said Mrs. Hopgood, rather se
verely, compressing her lips. "You
are aware that I do not approve ot your
inviting company at any time, still le?s
at such a period as this. If you have
been fool enough to ask him, you may
get out of the scrape the best way you
can." 1
"But mother " -
"I don't want any more discussion on
the subject," said Mrs. Hopgood daub
ing away with the brush.
Alexander went out, slamming the
door.
'Well," quoth Alexander, to himself
"if I can't ask a friend to dinner at home
there is at least the alternative of invit
ing him to the hotel. I never did such
a thing before, but I don't see how else
I can manage."
So Alexander nopgood entertained
Mr. Byerson at the hotel, and gave an
unlimited order for iced champagne and
dessert. And the upshot of it all was
that Alexander Hopgood was brought in
at eleven o'clock at night by two waiters,
hopelessly intoxicated.
"Don't be f-f raid, mother," stuttered
he, brandishing an empty bottle, as he
became dimly conscious of her white
scared faoe bending over him. "Go on
with your washing! It's a heap jollier
at the hotel than it is at home. Freedom
forever. Hooray!'
Ob, what shall I do?" sobbed Mrs.
Hopgood when the waiters wereonce
out of the house, and the roll of the cab
wheels had died away. To think only
think that a son of mine should ever
stoop to disgrace himself thus."
"It's your own fault," said Benny, the
second son. "You'd not let Ally bring
his friend here to dinner."
"Hold your tongue!" sharply retorted
Mrs. Hopgood, wincing beneath the
prick of homo truth. "Call Elsie; I need
help."
"Oh,mother,"cried Fanny.the younger
girl, running down stairs in haste, "El
sie ain't here."
"Not here?"
"No, mother, she hasn't been to bed
at all and there's a note on the table
directed to you."
"Open it mother," "said Isaac Hop
good. "This is a sad night for our house
hold. My God, has our home become
so distasteful to our children that they
fly from it, like rats from a falling
house?"
The note was short enough as it
read:
"Dear mother:
the kitchen. I
I am tired of living in
have run away with
John i Elton, and
before you see me
again 1 snail nave entered upon anew
future."
Mrs. Hopgood broke into hysterical
sobbings. Mr. Hopgood hurriedly read
the hurriedly scrawled paper with a face
cold and set like steel.
"Bun away with John Elton," he re
peated slowly; "then God help her, for
he is as great a villain and scoundrel as
ever lived, and she has sealed her own
doom. Mother, mother, this comes of
your housekeeping."
"It wasn't my fault, Isaac," sobbed
Mrs. Hopgood, rocking herself back
ward and forward in a chair into which
she had dropped.
"It was your fault," retorted the hus
band, almost savagely. "You made the
verv name of home" a mockery to vour
children, and set your soul inside a
scrubbing pail, and now you are reap
ing the bitter harvest, my dear."
Of course poor Alexander Hopgood
was unable to lift his throbbing head off
his pillow next day.and his mother never
left him until afternoon.
When at last she came down stairs, tbe
parlor blinds were thrown wide open, a
flood of sunshine streaming in, the table
neatly set in the dining room, and flowers
on the table, and new books, games and
puzzles scattered around.
Mrs. Hopgood gazed around her with
a bewildered air. She hardly knew her
own home.
"This is the way in which we must
live henceforth," said her husband,
cheerily. "Let in the light and suu
shine; teach Ben and Fanny that home
is something more than an empty name,
and try, in as far as we can, to retrieve
the errors of our past life."
Mrs Hopgood mutely bowed her head.
"I will try, husband," she answered.
Financial Reasons.
"I won't sell you my yoto,
said old SI ocn ss to the man
nohow,"
who had
come to "see" him.
"Why not?"
"Fur thee reasons: Fust, I kin ern
half a dollah diggin' tatera in the time it
would take me to go and vote. Second,
it would cos' me $1 fer er team to go to
the pollin pljne. Third, .ye on'y offer
me S2, an' t'other side has already gin
me S3 ter stay away and not vote at all,
which brings ntf the finanshal reasons on
that side ter 4 50." Detroit Free Press.
Boston's satirical Post says: "People
needn't wonder at the scarcity of good
servant girls. If a girl ii good for any
thing some fellow's going to find it oat
and marry her.'
FASHION 5 OTIS.
Old green with brown or red forms a
fashionable contrast of colors.
Old green, old Sevres blue and old
rouge are among the new shades for au
tumn goods.
India cashmere camel's-hair will re
main in favor, ' notwithstanding the re
vival of the repped woolen goods.
Gathered mull sun-bonnets, with bows
of ubbon on the crown, are . worn in the
country by ladies and children alike.
A row of short thick; curls is added to
the low English coiffure worn by ladies
.who have spent the summer in Europe.
A white seagull is a stylish ornament
for trimming .the large new felt hats
that have brims of the most exaggerated
size.
Polonaises are revived for early au
tumn wear, and are made with paniers,
or without, as the wearer's figure may
require. ,
Buckles of old silver are being used to
trim overdresses and slippers. They
are placed in the straps of bows of satin
or velvet ribbon.
Much of what is "called ficelle lace is
merely white Spanish lace colored in the
flax gray ecru shades that are called
ficelle colors.
Feather turbans and straw hats with
velvet' crowns, worn with cheviot or
oashmere suits, are admirably adapted
for the cool days of fall.
Amazon cloth and Henrietta cloth that
is heavily twilled are the two woollen
stuffs that will be most used for the next
season's dresses.
The large detached flowers used on
summer satines are repeated on the dark
calicos and low-priced wool goods for
every-day winter dresses.
Silk mitts for autumn are "solid," that
is. thev have no lace 11 aru res as borders
on the hand and arm. They are more
stylish in black and dark red silk.
Stockinguet or wool webbing, for
making Jersey jackets, is imported in
dark old green, ruby aud strawberry
reds.and in electric blue and seal brown.
Watteau overdresses are in great favor
with young ladies. The large fold at
the back, which is the principal feature
of the dress, is caught up below the
waist to form arapery.
At present the preference is for plain
goods for new dresses, but there will be
many combination dresses that will be
partly made of striped goods or of. large
figured fabrics.
The new Pompadour lace is similar to
Breton laces, with the addition of flowers
in relief made of muslin, and worked in
button-hole stitch; a single flower is in
each point or scallop of the lae.
Short round basques are becoming
fashionable, instead of the long cuirasses
that turn up at the edges when tbe
wearer is sitting. These are in square
battlements, or in leaf points, or slender
curves, and the edges are heavily corded
Military styles are in vogue, such as
braiding in crossway rows on jackets, and
there are military collars of white linen
worn high arpund the neck, and fastened
by a ring and ball that is passed through
tho buttonholes on each side of the front
Chiscle velvets, with figures in bold
relief, are made into dress skirts to wear
with velvet polonaises. Spanish lace,
passementerie, and chenile fringe trim
the overdress, but the skirt is rich
enough to dispense with trimmings, and
even the narrow balayeuse finish will be
unnecessary.

Dr. Moody, of New York City,
A Graduate f the New York Rchonl os Medl
elne, also of the Ilublln Practice.
A word to the public- Consultation free.
I invite the sick, 110 winner what their diseases may
be, to cull aud investigate for themselves before aban
doning all hopes, for it will cost you nothing. 1 give
no encouragement unless there is a fair prospect of
making a cure.. I will endeavor to be candid In my
opinion and reasonanle in my cluirgt s. I claim not tt
cure everybody, but to cure all that can be cured. I
1 have had twenty years' successful practice hi the
treatment of both acute and chronic dlseativs. I have
I located in Portland, and all I ask is thatyou give me a
i fair, unbiased t.-iul, bv which 1 hope, to merit your con
j fidenec, and give entire SiitlKfiiCiiou to all suffering
Immunity. 11 y repiiuilion tins been acquired by being
candid with my patients, through jejirsof successful
piactice, both in .urope and in this country, and
1 studiously keeping up with the age. I know the cause
i and remedy needed, not by guesswork, but by years
, ol experience.
! In niv tri-Htinent of manv diseAxeft T mnk e iioa nf m.
new method of cure. The treatment is simple and tbe
most feasible of all. There is no unpleasant sensation
whatever attending the treatment. 1 invit all persons
afluclcd to visit and freely convince themselves, leav
ine me to verify the assertion that there has never
existed a remedy so stnrtiing and immediate In its
etleets. 'these noted curative a'ds, as handled In my
practice, are euilor ed and approved by the faculties
of hoih Kurope and America. -Ihe beneficial effects
are perceptible almost from the start. Oases regarded
incurable, mid of ifura standing, yield to its mild but
wonderful iittlucuce. .And in no case can the treat
inent be itttemlcd w th the least danger, thereby tee
tlf. line It to be the most harmless ugr ut lu therapeu
tics. Thos who wish in apply for advice 01 treatment
may confidently do so wit bout hesitation ordimdence,
us the most timid may rely on that Inviolable secrecy
whii h has nlrcady proved the basis of an extensive
professional reputation a broad.
Cases ean be treated by coricspendenee when a .er
sonal Interview is impossible, providing tbe patients
will minutely detail all of their beuily ii.fn ni sties aud
mental disturbani-es written In a ein:plc aud natural
style, and In accordance with the necessary de'allsof
their own feelings One personal interview, however,
even with pntlentr. residing at a distance Is highly de
sintbie when' pructicaliie, and will inure than repay
ihe patient the expense and trouble of a trip to Port
laud. The advantage of even a visit ure apuarent and
manifold. A single visit In most cases will enable tbe
doctor to form tin accurateopinion and note particulars
whk-h might be lost sight of In mere correspondence,
particularly when a microscopic aud chemical analy
sis is absolutely necessary. Patients not resid
ing in the city who -wish to transact their business
through the mails or by .express can have tbe neces
sary remedies rent to any address or left at any rail
way station or conch olllce In Oregon or Washington
Territory until called lor. carefully packed and se
curely sealed. (Jliice and Residence. 29 Frst street,
