The poor mac was dreadfully tempted, beoause he- waoted to bfoome riob euoogh to marry the oandy-store lady's beautiful daughter; but when be got to tbe distillery door with tbe bad man, be said, 'I will not break my pledge even to get riob. Qet tbee behind me, Satan.'

Well, tbe good young man went and told the oandy-store lady's daughter what he bad fonnd, and shoved ber tbe pocketbook nearly full of money, and so they were married. Tbey had a lovely weddiDg, and tbe next week tbey bad twius. , Thos we see that 'virtue is its own reward TUB FAIRY BUNNIES. By Gladys Donahue, 9 years old.

At last she got so very tired that she had to sit dowu. After awhile she heard a rustling in the leaves near her, and a little man stepped ont and Blood bit, ire ber, and said: "I was one of those bunuies that yon obiieed todny. A long tnn9 ago. a wioked fairy obauged me and my sister into rabbits and told us that we could never regain our human form unless a little girl chased uh, So I will give you a wish." The litde girl wna eilent for few minutes and that, she oiiid; " ,: .'. r,- "I want a little fairy to play witb." "Very well," said tbe little nr-tn, "'your wish shall be granted. " la a littlo while a beautiful fairy ap peared in a golden carriage. She said: "lake me borne with you, and in your yard you will find my bouse with many other fairies in i,anr1 we will serve you.' Tane did as she w s bid, nnd when slit got home she found a house which odd tained 100 rooms. It whs invimb'e to all human eyes eicept hers, nnd sh' pasped in it many delightful day.

The American Wool and Cotton Ri- porter of Feb. 22 says: Tbe wool market is very dull. Man ufacturers are too busy la attending to the details oonnected with the orders which tbey have reoeived, io j lurneyiog between their mills and New York, aud some of them in g ttiog started oo their tight--'eight samples, to pay muo'j air tention to wool. Tbey are generally well stooked with wool. Tbey are there fore praotioally out of tbs nrirket, and it wool 1 not surprise tbe trade if tbey should remiia out of it for sorm little lime to come. Wa tt demnd there in oontinues to be mostly for 4 bl.iod stook, both wi.shed aud unwaahed, with u slightly better inquiry for blood Fine wools are in very limited deuund. Prices of wool, eioept on et iok grd ing 1 an 1 ?e blood and below, arfl easy, and It it possible to b ty wo .1 ou termH more favorable to the purchaser (ban formerly. There is no genera1 breuk in tbe market, but there ieoertaioly mire pressure to sell. It is thought, h iwavr, that iu l ie course of 60 days they will need them, and by the end of that time many members of Ibe trade are looking for a deoidedly improved b'HuiH irid a stiffening in prioes. Tbe ooufi luuce felt in Ibe future is refleote 1 io s )ma par chases at very goal prioes in Ariz ma, where wools have been taken at prioes ranging from 11 to 10a., which last year oould have bee i secured for 10 J., aud in oontracts (or wool on tbe sheep's b tok in Idaho at 20o. People who know the lat ter wool-t state positively that they onu' not be landed here for less than 7Jc. olean. For some Arizona ooln even a-t high as l8o. is said to have been bid. Wool growers io the interior are still very stiff in their views. The Wyoming growers are expecting 2325o for tLeir wool, and tbe Montana growers iu many cases will not take less tbau 25 n. Much depends upon the tendeuoy of tbe goods market an 1 the ooorse of affairs abroad. The receipts of wool in Bistim this week were, domestii! 4158 bales; foreign 11)10 bales.

PC'VA!-' SKiNG PO'.VDfR CO.. NEW YORK IN IMNAUa. CANYON. K Wild and Weird Region Fall of Ileal Romance. The land of the wilder Ncz Peroes Joseph's band tbe Wallowa, was always a land of romanoe, until Frank MoOully and bis fellow-stockmen began to raise bogs and found national banks there and infliot civilization upon it. Its Imoaba ia one of tbe wonders of the world. The name in Nez Perce means a song of love from tbe grave, and wi'S given to this beautiful river be cause an ftjoftan strain is often beard in tbe Imnaba canyon. This echo attracted General Howard's scouts during the Joseph war in '77. Tbey heard it eol-o so distinctly that they returned to tbe command and re ported the disoovery of a warrior baud in tbe oiinyon, engaged in a war-dance. The speotacle was described as more weird than Burne' danoe of the goblins. They were reported to be danoiDg to an unearthly music. Thht was in tbe darkness of tbe night, In tbe light of the early morn, when Ad, Chapman and Lieut. O. E. 8. Wood came dowu tbe old-time trail to investi gate, nod, I4ent JOUJajlaj . now, flgjjj-, iog in tbe Philippines, poked bis rille over the rooks ready for the opening shot, the mUHio of the night before died awBy in tbe weird washings of the water falls, and tbe speotral danoera of the sooatg' imagiuution vanished iu tbe bidden recesses of the rugged csnyoo. Tbe iudinus say that a spirit Rings a love song in this grand canyou whenever winds and waters are at war. It is b belief thai these elements grind up imps ot darkness whenever these spectral In habitants c( the world prevail in sufll oieot uumbcra to endanger earthly men and women. This Imnaba oaoyon, witb its impregnable wbIIs, tumbling waters and mysterious changing wind ourrents, is regarded witb superstition. It is mill of the Oods that grinds up tbe imps that are enemies of 1 ml inn mankiud. I' ia believed that the same spirit that im pels tbe daredevil warrior to rush to bis death,, brlnga tbeee imps to their de struotion. There is a legend that the roost beau tiful maiden that ever belonged to the Ness Perce tribe onoe repaired to this oaoyon to sing, so that the eohos would convey her eng to her dead lover; and there she wus captured by the imps sod taken to their caves, where she remains invisible transformed iu body, but not inspirit. Her name was Bailie Balerntus, and nhe whs mneb more basutiful thanHallie Winnemucoa. Hbs was so called from tbe fact that he never put any sule- ratnn into her lnpyx, using only straight sonr-dough. IS he was said to have been onoe sen by Windy Jack, first sergeant of Copt. Forse's troop of the first Cavalry, when on bis way from Larry Ott s ranch to Camp MoDormitt Captain Forge was a gallant man, killed at the bead of his troop in Cuba, and Windy Jack le low a policeman at (W. Frank Boyd's town of Hpoknue, or its sister oity of Camas Prairie, near Grangeville. Jack was alwnvs a good man In tbe field. And the'Nez Perce maiden still sing on. No wonder she has a tine voioe Hhe ii a graduate of the Heppner Academy of Musio, That accounts for it. ' NOTIUK TO VOTKKH.

F f A ft M"V WHERE IT GETS COLD. Millard Freucu Tolls of Thermometers M Below ou the Yukon. L. W. Briggs has received from bis brother-in-law, M. F. French, a lotter written at Bonanza, near Dawson, Feb ruary 11, in which Mr. French says: We have been having a hard time getting mail here, and it does look as though the Canadian government ought to give us better mail facilities after tax ing us as it does. But it seems as though the Canadians thought it lots of fun to tax us and take our money to help the British kill off a few Dutch in South Africa, whose only offense is in treating the English the same way as the Canadians jare treating us. Tho British have no more rights in the Tratievaal, and no greater grievances against the Boers than we have against the Canadiuns. "Jobs are not plentiful here, but I have one at $8 a day. But I have been sick and unable to do any hard work for two weeks. I am untlor a doctor's care, and he thinks I will soon be able to go to work again. "1 ought to have gone to Capo Nome tat "wnniror. ' I foartba i ibed tho opportunity of a lifetime. Now I con sider it too late. There are many peo ple going from bore this whiter. Just imagine a trip of more than 1000 miles through the snow with the thermometer liable to bo 90 below 'and the trail bad. On December 20 It was 52 below here." Coyotes Cleaned Out. Oscar Schafor, who has so nccoptably (illed the ollico of stock inspector of Morrow county, is in Heppner this week, and has resigned bis position on account of now living over the line in Giant county. His new home is 42 miles from Heppner, and he runs there a band of 1 100 choice ewes, who will begin lambing April 10. Mr. Hcliafur has an excellent range, with some bottom and limitless mahog any and junipor ridge. When he wont thore last your the coyotos wore bad, uml killed over 100 of his sheep. But now the coyotos are so well cleaned out that the lordly gentlemen sheep are al lowed to roam at will without herding a mile from camp, and are not moloHted. Tho campaign started against coyotes liiHt full lias resulted in more than 200 of thorn being killed. Oscar and bis herder killed 17, Pel Siiiiinernoii killed 22 and Jas. Gra.e, at mouth of Wall creek, killed 152. The latter sbot a worthless cayitse and flllod the carcass with Htricbnine,and sunt oiu invilat'oiiig," mid the coyotes who cand vo tho foast dropped into a long sleep before they had wandered away 40 yards. Oscar likes his new home very much, and has (10 tons of bay, but has not had to feed bis sheop this winter. They keep fat on rango graes, and he has a puck of hound pups now taking lessons in chasing coyotes. Slump are all doing well over there, the wool ou Mr. Schafor's being already full shearing, length and juet as clean as the well groomed hair on Tap Simon's beautiful trotting colt. His sheep are not cor rilled, but luy out on the grass at night just the same as in summer time. Mr. Schafor says that Monument, bis present postolllce, is now getting to be unite a town. A Ufa nd Datii Fight. Mr. W. A.
