Soldier of Fomenoy" waa presented with
Stuttz in the leading role. Mr. .Stuttz has
a good company, is an excellent actor him
self, and is what cannot bo generally said
of actors a good manager. Mi.-s Eloiilie
Alma In her various impersonations com
pletely captured her audiences. She is a
charming actress and the equal of .Stuttz
in every respect. The presentation of the
plays of this company are rendered more
effective by every necessary stage appliance
and accessory, which at great expense is
carried with them. The attendance each
evening was good. Last night's entertain
ment was given as a benelit to the Knights

A moonstruck farmer contributed tho
following to u local newspuper: I see a
great deal in the newspapers about how to
choose ti cow, but I can tell you a rule
wortli all the rest. If a cow was calved
when the horns of the moon pointed down,
shu will be a good milker, but if born when
the horns of the moon pointed up she will
go all to flesh, or rather to skin and hones,
1 never raised calf horn in tno wrong time
of tho moon. I always butcher in the
new of tho moon and havo fully ono-thinl
more meat. 1 always build my fence when
the horns of the moon point up, and stake
and rider it when the horns point down, tho
two draw together and the fence never

In view of measnrew now under advisetnc.nt,
looking to the celebration in this lity of the
centennial anniversary of the inauguration
of Gmeral Uoorge Washington as first
President of tli United States, oeeurlng on
that date. Upon a ealc worthy of the event
to 1 commemorated, It Is impossible at
this time to-flx the hour for assembling of
the convention. Due notice of this will be
given later.
It i desired to arrange, if possible, for
a Brigade parade of the Oregon National
Guard in this city on that day, and efforts
are now making to provide free transporta
tlon for the troops of the Slid ami 3ml
Keglmcnts Infantry, and Troop "A" Cav
alry, to an-t from the city for this purpose.
Should these measures result successful
ly a Is hoped, the circumstances will bo
such as to warreut the eeotation that a
mm h larger attendance of members of the
National Guard Association will Ik? as-ur-ed
than could otherwise b? expected and
for this reason it hut lieen deemed judicious
to call tho assembling of the convention for
the date namod.
Many measure and eonsideratlom of In
terest and importance will come before the
convention for thought ami discussion, and
a full attendance of officer is earnestly
enjoined.

At. last their bark i.s finished, done;
The first great stop and race is run.
Now childhood's fancies fade away,
And dawns a brighter, splendid day
.lust at the biacli their proud barks stand,
Guided thus far by gentle hands.
Far, out upon Life's billowy sea,
They veutnro hopefully andjfree.
Take them! Oh, gray-haired Father Time!
Ureal ho to their souls your richest chime !
Take them, with all their youthful charms
Safe into thy uplifted arms!
Young minds unused to Fortune's blast
Unused to drifting far and fust.
Launch them, oh Time, upon Life'. main.
ith whisp'riug winds, and tuneful
strain I
Hoar kindly with their tender forms,
Steer clear of thrcat'ning clouds
and
storms!
Spread out before their wistful eyes
Gay forms and Nature's deepest skies!
Teach them, oh Master, old a, id gray,
The right to do; the right to say!
Point out the path whore pleasures nod
Where through all ages, wisdom trod!
Teach them, oh Time, with loving care,
The courage and the faith to dare
To breast each tempest 's blinding blast,
And search for knowledge till the last.
Hreath in their ears too songs of pence;
Teach thorn that learnings never cease.
And teach them. Jauen with youriuight
The world-wide symphonies of Kight.
A wide, wide pathway stretches far,
Put ah, how many crooks there are;
How many cross roads loading by,
Hut shadowed by a blackor sky.
Give them, oh Time, the light of Truth
To guide aright iho slops of youth ;
Pot plainly on yon future's heights
True manhood's beaming beacon lights;
And too, along the pathway's line,
Let womanly villus over shine.
Weave in thoir lives, with soft caress
The opening buds of tenderness.
Our Union, with its banners gay
Its freedom, and its grand array,
Witii all its hope, ami all Its fears,
The grandeur of the coining years!,
Is leaning now in hioathless hours,
On thein, and all their untried powors.
Teach thoni, then, Muster with a uaro,
To hope, to fear, to push, to dure.
Place, then, oil Time, within tiieir iiauiia
The key to Learning's richest hinds.
Pray tuno your lyre to nobler strains,
And sing thoni Munhnod'sgruuder gains;
Lot not thosolllsh passions spring,
'Tworo then for naught that praines ring.
Put give to them, with tender care,
Your hoarded maxims, just and fair.
Let bloom boside tlteir path in rest,
Tho lluwor.s that gives thoni comforts
blessed,
Ami last, oh Muster, one more Ihioii,
When Life is at its golden noon,
