V?To have the handsomest women in the world, we make the bpst whisky, have the most fertile lands, raise the best horses and have the purest air. In addition to that, our people pull together, but they do not like snob bishness. I remember one time I was stumping one of the mountain counties. I bought twenty five dollars worth of nickels and put them in my saddle-bags. Every Jog cabin I would como to I would ride up and ask for a drink of water. Well, out would come a little boy or girl with a gourd or a dipper of water. I would take a swallow, then drop a nickel in tho dipper. The little one would run in and I would go on. The child's mother would come and have the fat gentleman pointed out, The consequence was that I got the vote out of that house. Well, one morning I rode up to a. house and a little girl brought me out a dipper of ivater. I felt in my pocket and discovered that I hadn't a copper. ".Little girl," said I, ''I generally have a nickel about me, but I haven't to-day, so I'll give you what s the next best thing for a girl, and that's a kiss." So I got down off my horse and kissed her for my own little blue eyed girl at homo. She didn't mind it Another litttle black-eyed girl here showed up, I had to kiss hor for a niece of mine whom she looked like. By this time another little girl half a head taller than the test showed up, and not to be partial, I kissed her, when I found that four or five other girls had gathered and I saw that I was in for it So, commencing with tho smallest, I kissed each one. The change in stature was so gradu al that I did notice that tho last one was a full-grown woman, aud right handsome at that, until after I had kissed her. Looking up, I saw two or threo old ladies laughing at me, and thinking I'd mado a bad break. I lifted my hat to the young lady and begged her pardon and explained how it was. She didn't seem to mind it mucb, but the old ladies kept laugh ing and I tried to explain it, when one of them said: 'W'y, durn it. Jedce. she's Bill's wife." 'Well," I thought, "I'm in for it That knocks out my voles iu the neignbornood." Well, I inquired in tho next bouse who Bill was, and was told that he was "Buck" Holmes, tho hardest ci t- lzeuin uarter-county. isext day I had to speak at the courthouse, and when I came up I noticed a gang of about twenty-live rough looking fellows on at one side. and a big, six-foot fellow was talking to them and gesticulating with both hands. "Who's that?" I inquired. "That's Buck Holmes and his causr." was the reply. The cold chills commenced run ning up my back, and I shifted my rovolver around where I could reach it without trouble, -and then lounged- up to hear what ho was saying and get the lay of the land. "Wal, I'm blankely blanked." I heard him say, "if ther Jedge don't ketch my vote. No snob thar, gentle men. Jest as soon kiss a poor man's wife as a rich one e, by ." That settled it I got 150 more votes in that county than any other man on the ticket Ex-Qoternor Underwood in PitUburg Dispatch. WHY SOME WOMEN RULE THE HOUSEHOLD. "Why is it that some women rule the household?" "Well, men who make brute force their sole capital never do much thinking. They handle a pick, push a shovel, swing an ax or hold a plow all day. and when night comes they are ready for bed. They may take a mug of beer and smoke a pipe, but they engage in no pastime that sharp ens their wits. They move alontr in the same old rut. year in and year out, knitting their muscles and necr lecting their mindk Now women are naturally brighter and quicker than men. They are so constituted that they must talk, and they acquire ideas through this innate proclivity. I don't care how crowded a woman is with work she will find time to chat over the back fence with her neighbor's wife. They'll chat when they're hanging out clothes, walking in the card en or carry in cr out ashes. You couldn't make a law strong enough to keep them from it They know what's going on and they gos sip about it If they can't dwell side by side in unity, they won't keep quiet as men do. They'll "sass" each other back and forth, and think up cutting things to say. If there is a quarrel with the neighbor, the women run tho campaign, They chase the invading pig3 or chickens, order the offending youngsters home, tell their side of the story to an interested community, and if tho nnneighborly quarrel acquires the dignity of a law suit it 13 the woman who" retains the legal counsel and talks' him thin ba- iure me imng is aone witn. xo do honest, this same female branch of the human family cuts a rood deal more of a figure than it is credited with."

Northern Pacific railroad, in the mat ' tcr of a desert claim on section 19, covering a part of the townsite of j North Yakima, lias been appealed to j the land commissioner at Washing ton. Tho brief is quite lengthy, and recite3 how the United States land office at Yakima refused to receive tho filing, quoto3 the entire charter of the Northern Pacifio railroad and amendments, and refers to tho profile maps of withdrawal of lauds granted on tho various routes along the Co lumbia, Natches, Yakima, and Skagit rivers, and claims that the withdraw als of 1873 and 1879 by the Skagit and Natches passes conflict with the route on which tho road is now be ing' built by the Stampede Pass and also sets out that not only is seo tion 19 subject to entry, but the com pany cannot, under the rulings at Washington, withdraw lands by more than one route, but that the entire grant along the routes of the Cascade division have reverted to tho govern ment and the people, for tho reason that tho corporation failed to con struct within the term of years pre scribed by the charter and the acts amendatory thereof." A Progressive Section Mr. W. Clough, engineer of the steamer Qoiernor Newell, mail boat from Aberdeen up tho Chehali3 river, is registered at the New England. In conversation with a reporter, .Mr. Clongh stated that although the Gray's harbor country, liko the rest of the coast, feels the effects of the general depression in business, yet no ono can really complain. Tho mill at Aberdeen is running all the time, and has had no trouble in sell ing its lumber. That tho logging camps aie all starting up for the sea son's work, and that local traffic is very good. A new mill has lately been built at tho harbor by some lumber meu from Michigan, the ma chinery for which has just been re ceived, having been shipped around Cape Horn. Mr. Clough further ob served that undoultedly tho finest timber land on the coast, was in the immediate vicinity of tho harbor, but most, if not all tho atailablo land had been taken up. This land, he said, was unequaled for agriculture aud pasturage, especially the latter, when the timber is logged off. "Taking it all in all," said he, "the future of rne Chehalis valley and Gray's harbor is truly a bright one." Seattle Call. Counterfeiting a Valuable Article. Tho publisher of tho JTadison County Record writes from -Hunts-ville, Ark., as to the effect of Brown's Iron Bitters on his wifo. Mr. Daugh orty says, "My wifo has been using the Bitters for some months; the ef fect in her case is remarkable." Ho also writes that owing to coun terfeits and imitations, it was difficult to get the genuine article. That diffi culty has now been remedied, imita tors have been exposed and put to flight. Thoro, as elsewhere, Brown's Iron Bitters can be had of all the re spectable drnggista at a dollar a bot tle. The movement entered upon by tho business interests of Portland, to invito and facilitate trade by opening river transportation for the middle and upper Columbia region "with that city is ono of real satisfaction, and we hope that nothing will be found to hinder a strong interlocking of the interests of our city with theirs for mutual advantage. The highlands have much more interest in seeing Portland a successful center to a vast trade than they havo in seeing inland commerce fix channels with the Sonnd, and carry its produots to nav igable waters in another stato or territory.-- Wasco Sun.

Paine: Ho was a prosecuting attorney in a criminal case. The evidence plainly showed that the respondent was guilty and tho defense admitted it. The re spondent's counsel asked for a verdict of not guilty on tho ground the de fendant was 72071 compos mentis. Greatly to tho surprise of Paine and everybody clso for .that matter the jnry came in with a verdict of not guilty.
