as much as to say; "Now I have done

moment, gobbled up the rest of the
sandwich, and said privately to me, as
he slid off hts stool: "I guess I'd better
get out of this;" he handed In his ten
cents for Baudwich and coffee and softly
departed. In a few moments tbe waiter
appealed holding aloft a planter with a
bread-plate, napbtn, eto., and in tno
blandest of tones Intiuired: "Lamb

the tale. (A tall man sitting below me

behind the partition and "stewed"
there, the waiters forming a ring
around the lamb stow. I nearly choked
myself with my sandwich while the fol

FUNNY BLUNDERS.
lorae Ludicrous Examples of Mtaapplled
Speech.
Peculiarities of speech are sectional.
and. combined, they produce a dialect
which is distinctively southern, or west
ern, or New England, as the cose may
be. Who would doubt that a Yankee of
Yankees made this speech
"I don't s'pose there ain't nobody
seen notliiu' of no old felt bat no
where?"
The redundancy of negatives alone
would betray origin, the asking and an
swering a question in the same breath,
and the familiar "1 don't s'pose," which
in the west would bo changed to "I
don't guess," and iu the south. "I don't
reckon."
There is something picturesque in the
brevity and construction of the sen
tences, too, consistent with the sur
roundings. Take a specimen in a half
grown lad, scantily dressed, lounging
up to a (anii house and asking with the
slow drawl of his kind;.
"1 don't s'pose you don't know of no
body that don't want to hire nobody to
do nothin'?"
Then there is the peculiar misapplica
tion of remembered words, which thrust
themselves into conversation as "mis
fits" with ludicrous effect We all know
what terror strikes the rural breast at

fer this to life in the country, where
fresh air is free and wholesome food is
cheap, but there can be little doubt that
thore is a preference for this kind of ex
istence in cities, even though it be a fact
that work is harder to get there than in
the country and not a bit more regular
Not ouly is this the case with laborers
but we find, whenever we chouse to in
qnre. that tbe best youths born of conn
try families early begin to fuel a hanker
ing for town life. If they staid at
home to till the soil or helds there
would not be this scarcity of agricul
tural laborers which has just been noted,
but no sooner does an adventuresome
youth in the country begin to teel the
down upon his cheeks changing into
whiskers than he is tired with an ambi
tion to go to some city and become a
member of the great bustle and strife
which the close competition of men with
men produces. This doesn t mean thai
he is afraid of the hard work that has
to be done on the farm, for none but
fool would believe that a man to succeed
even moderately does not have to work
just as hard in town as in the country
and farmers' boys are not fools at least

eral Roy Stone, of New York, theeugi

rected to this problem for many years.
and he has recently secured the co-oper
ation of several prominent statesmen m
Washington in a project soon to be
formulated in a bill to be brought be
fore congress. This bill proposes the
formation of a national highway com
mission which shall examine the whole
subject, formulate a plan for a national
school of roads and bridges and make
an exhibit at the World's fair.
The suggestion that it shall be shown
during the World's fuir that America Is
alive to the necessity of improving hei
interior method of communication is
particularly happy. It is true that the
larger portion of foreign visitors who
will come to America in ItSlffJ will see
only such highways as railroads and
city streets; but those who come really
to study us and to measure our civiliza
tion and general progress will go furthei
afield, and they, of cour ie. will see the
disgraceful condition of our common
roads. It will be well worth while to
show to such as these that we are alive
to the importance of the subject anil
aware of the reproach of our wretched
ways. Jno. Gilmer Speed in Harper's

home history of this family will doubt
less prove interesting to our readers, as
hey were pioneer settlers iu Oregon In
i he year 1840, William 8peiry and fain
dy, oousistiug of wife and four obildreu,
moved from the State of Ohio to Iowa
where they resided eleven years, but they
v earned for soeues farther west, and in
the )ear 1851 started for Oregon, crossing
i he plains by ox team. In six mouths
ibey had reached the end of their jour
ney, settling in Linn county, near tin
present town of Brownsville. Their jour-
ney, like all that crossed the "Great
Ainerionn Desert" at that period, was
not unattended by hardships.
The father purchased a claim near
Brownsville and went to farming. Being
i miuister of the Baptist church, his du
ties at this time were numerous, forthtre
were few preachers in the Willamette
valley, and his pastoral work had to be
curried on in connection with the farm-
ug, making it no light task on him.
However, the older children were by this
time grown, and took a large portion of
(he burden from the father's shoulders.
Wm, Sperry died in 1857 Rt the age of
45 yee.ra.
Mr" Sperry in 1859 was married to
Williani Cochran, a wealthy and most
expected resident ot Brownsville. She
lived till 1881, and had the satisfaolioi
f seeing her shildreu married and set
tied iu life, ami more, that they were re
-tpeoted ud esteemed by all.
Iu regard to organizing against tbe
squirrels, I will say, I think that is tbe
ouly way we will ever exterminate them.
They are getting mure numerous every
year. My plan is this: Call a meeting
ot the citizens of each preeiuot, elect del.
egales to a convention to be culled at
Heppner, there to select a committee on
tiuuuoe aud a busiuess cuminiitee, lo see
to aud prepare the poison, three or four
kinds. Solicit help from the couuty, iu
ihe shape ot premiums. To the one get
ting the largest number of scalps, $73;
seound, $50; third, $25 That will do
more good than tbe $l,7u0 given by tbe
oounty as bounty last year.
We will have to do something to ex
terminate them, or we wili Lave to va
cate. Liuzeus, one aud all, let us hear
from J on on this qnestion, as i-u ought
all to be interested.
