William Shakepere missed
whole lot by not living in the
Heppner Hills and hearing the
meadow-larks sing these magnifi
cent mornings of spriug. Who
has not heard of William? And
who has heard anything about him
that he can really bank on? Near
ly all the biographies of Shakspere
have been reconstructed from the
signature to his will, and are nec
essarily crooked. Yarns about this
great man are very conflicting,
Some say that he was a myriad-
minded individual, about as all-
round as Denny the Frenchman
who used to live here. Others tell
ub that this is all a fake, that he
was a perfect bum who should
have been run in at an early age.
He wrote a good many things in
blank verse, and even these have
become the subject of controversy.
Some say that he never wrote them
at all; that he didn't have enough
education to write an excuse to the
teacher when he wanted to go fish
ing; others say that he never went
to school aDd didn't have to write
excuses. Ilis spelling and his
capitalization have been held out
against him, and with remarkable
unanimity a certain faction de
clares him to have been a numb
skull who couldn't possibly have
written anything, uuless it was a
communicjitiou on the many-sided
silver question. There were re
porters in William's day, and some
of them may have written the
plays for him. One of the men
who claims to have written the
Shakspere plays still lives. Shak-
spere managed the Globe Theatre
in London and lived in the
fogs outside the city, where he
trained actors with dogs. He
only went down to the theatre
once a week, and then to cash in.
When the theatre burned Shak
spere went back to Stratford-on-
Avon with the insurance money.
He had himself buried there in
order to give the tourist quite a job
hniiing him. JNot many people
trom Jtleppner call at his grave.
PREACHER-ROBBER.
The Portland Telegram of 16th
says:
John Stockton is awaiting trial
on a charge of stealing a bicycle.
Stockton is considered a bad lot by
the police. They say he formerly
lived in Eastern Oregon, where he
used to work at odd jobs and hold
revival services, then after the
religious ceremonies were over he
would go out and steal anything he
could lay his hands upon. A de
tective states that Stockton also
assisted in a jail delivery at Day
ton. If all the Indians had the vi
tality possessed by Blind Jim, who
is now superintending the pulling
of perfumed wool in the Heppner
Hills, they would not decrease.
The annual report of the Commis
sioner of Indian Affairs shows that
the entire Indian population is
207,905, of which number 95,679
wear citizens' dress, while 31,923
wear a mixture of Indian and civ
ilized clothing. Those who can
read number 52,597, and 53,314
oan carry on an ordinary conver
sation in English. There are 25,
230 dwnlling houses built for Ind
iauri, 1153 of which were built in
tbe past year. The number of
births was 4237 mid the deaths
5253. Twenty-six weie killed by
whites and seven whitPB by In
diaus. One Indian was killed by
Indians. Ihe number Indian
criminals punished was 14C9,
There are 31,655 Indian church
members and 348 church buildings
upon the various reservations.

H. GoldenBtair Guild, editor of
toe balem Independent, says:
xreraons interested in raising
poultry for cats should select eggs
irom tne oest breeds of chickens
to be had for hatching. One eood
healthy cat will consume about 200
chickens a year. They are verv
delicate animals and should not be
fed on tough meats. Some cats
will not eat chickens. They can
be taught to chew chicicens how
ever, by gradually baiting them
wan dead robins, jay blues and
other stuff. Once the appetite for
domestic fowls is established, one
ought to have no trouble in getting
them to eat the young, tender,
juicy chicks. It is great and
profitable sport raising chickens
for cats. Some of the poor felines
appear to like to chew on the cute
little birds, very much, indeed. By
great perseverance, all cats can be
trained to go and kill chickens of
their own accord. Some persons
are selhsh enough to object to
raising poultry for cats, and shoot
all the Tommys and Puesys that
come within range.

IONE IMPROVING.
Spring weather and the march of pro
gress is having a good effect on the town
of lone, and many of its people are
beautifying their homes by setting out
trees and shrubbery. Tbe mild waather
will cause them to grow Huh t along with
no interruption on account of tranaplant
ing, and trees in a few years will make
a wonderful difference in the landscape
and cause lone to become one of the
beauty spots of the earth.
LOVE BY MAIL.
For several months Foster Adams of
Heppner and Mrs. Maria Church, of
Missouri, have been making love to
each other by mail, and the result was
that the lady came here a few weeks
ago, and the couple were married Hun
day by Uev. St. Clair. In the evening
they were given a reception in the M
15. church South, and Monday night a
serenade. They have settled down to
quiet housekeeping in Heppner.
The Oreeonfan.
Beyond a doubt tbe Portland Oregon
ian is tbe ablest all round newspaper in
tbe Pacific Northwest. It Is indispensa
ble in connection with keeping track of
tbe world's progress. It reaobsg Ilepp
oer at midnight on day of issue and men
stay up and await its arrival. It Is kept
on sale at Patterson & Sou's drug store,
and it always does tbe fair thing for
Heppner and Morrow county.
Ia Qaod Colors.
Quite a few Columbia river Indians
in showy blankets have been in Hepp
ner this week selling tbe first wool of
the season. They bring it in wheat
sacks, and last year sold oyer $:i(J00
worth in Heppner.
They secure their wool without the
experme of keeping sheep. There be
ing 200,000 sheep in Morrow county, a
fair percentage of them naturally drop
dead around cer the big range, The
Indians ride all over the county and
discover the dead sheep and pull the
wool. The ripor the sheep the easier
it is to pull the wool, and the stronger
the smell. If you ride along a trail and
there is a gay cavalcade of Indian pack
horses ahead of yon with a cargo of
pulled wool, you will need corks for
you nose.
When the old Morrow and Herren
store stood where tho grand Palace
hotel now is, several clerks were driven
to drink Florida water on account of the
accumulations of pulled wool in the
back yard.

THE POOR HORSE.
In the war in South Africa of to
day the hostile battalions of two
hostile armies emolov the Bame
chaplains to repeat the same pray
ers in the same creed. And
strange as it may seem, in spite of
big guns that will kill at six miles;
in spite of dynamite bombs that
will kill a whole company of sol.
diers ifwell directed; iu spite of
lyacute enelis that tear up half an
acre of solid earth, and in soite of
all tbe devils of destruction that
the genius of modern invention
has produced, the cavalrv horse
and the army mule still remain the
most potent factors of this war in
Africa.
In the land of the Transvaal,
where the Jioers are now battling
to hold their country aeainst Eng
land, during the dry season the
earth puts forth no verdure, and
the rivers are emptied of their
waters. How can an army of cav
alry subsist in Buch a country as
this? How can the horses of the
United States or Europe Jive in a
country where the thermometer
ranges 120 degrees in the mid
day, even now. Already the
English government has purchased
in the United States over 15,000
mules that have been shipped to
the seat of war in South Africa.
Ten times 10,000 more mules will
be wanted. And where are tbese
much-wanted cavalry horses to
come from? The United States
and Canada will have to supply
the demand.

INVITING ILL-WILL.
By a ourioas faot, those who invite ill
will seem often to get it. Society, based
on a reciprocity of faith., seems to have
no smiles to bestow upon tbe misan
thrope. It bids him, "Laugh, and the
world laughs with you." It so comes to
pass that many of them acquire some
real ground for their "sense of iDjury,"
and in the long ran that real quarrels
are precipitated from this atmosphere ot
suspiciousness. Indeed, this is tbe
psychology ot most quarrels, says an
artiole in Appleton's Monthly.
Tbe effeot of imaginary grievances
oomea in torn to be tbe cause of real
ones. Thus into an acoident between
two persons, one of them mistakenly
reads an affront to himself. He retali
ates, and tbe other person, unconscious
of having done anything to evoke any
hostility, finds himself affronted, and in
bis turn retaliates. Bv this time real
grievances have oome, and the quarrel
is on. Balzac, that master analyst, in
alluding to friendship, in one of bis
stones, says: "It died" (tbe friendship)
"like other great passions by a mis
understanding. Both sides imagine
treaohery, pride prevents an understand
ing, and tbe ruptore comes." Just as
tbe malevolent feelings may arise de
novo, so it is with the benevolent ones.
Nordau shews bow the nondesoriD state
of beiug "in love" often arises. Some
inoident betweeo John and Mary leads
one of them we will say John to tbink
mistakenly that Mary has been attracted
to him. Pleased with the faot, be re
ciprocates, Mary, although unconsoious
of tbe reciprocal natare of John's atten
tion, finds pleasure in it, and in her tarn
reoiprocates. Mutnal reciprocity then
follows.
In irritable persons we find the morbid
sense of injury coupled witb resent
ment. Quickly interpreting anything
disagreeable to them as an affront by
another, tbeir first impulse is to resent
it, which tbey do more or less violently,
acoordiug to ciroumstances, tbeir second
thought otten recognizing tbe irrational
nature of the outbreak.
(iOOl) CROP OUTLOOK.

AT THE TIMBER'S EDGE.
A dozen or so miles south from Hepp
ner, whore fringes of timber vonture
down from the mountains, where the
towering tamaracks grow and mingle
witli the picturesque pines, where pure
water splashes and dashes, is always a
pretty place, and particularly pretty
now.
Thorn is snow up there on the higher
ridges and it is melting fust, and along
side of it is the greenest of grans and
acres of beautiful blooming buttercups,
and ttie larks are singing and the blue
grouse beginning to make love.
The tall tamaracks are threatening to
thrust out their needle-like leaves of
vivid green, the most beautiful shade of
green on earth. It is of such a tint as
comes in the springtime to a troe in
Senator Carson's yard in Portland,
which the' neighbors come for miles to
see, and his Italian gardoner from the
Tratisvall calls the Oregonius giuantictia
tamarackahiis. It is a beautiful trea
wherever met, and Hcppner's Blue
mountains are full of it.
LAND BALE.
Lon Markliam has bought from Pat
Kpillane 10KI acres of land at the head
of Clark's canyon, a fow miles west of
Heppner, at the rate of $400 a quarter
section, lie also bought Pat's ewe
sheep at $1.K0 with wool on. This gives
lxn 1000 head of ewes in sight, and
probably more than that now out of
sight but which will soon be in sight.
He now has 2K00 acres, making one of
the best ranches in Morrow county.
Pat will remain on the place for tbe
present and help through lambing, and
probably huy sheep ai?ain next full.
