A MIDNIGHT EEPAST.

from the hills to town on business.
The walk home was exhilarating,
and he felt on arriving at his board
ing honae in camp, that his inner
man required some nourishment.
All the other inmates were ensconsed
in the arms;of Morpheus, but the neaa
oViVMpr wns familiar with the pantry,
and to that place he directed his
light footsteps. All else was dark. I
Fumbling around he managed to se- j
cure a handful of crackers, and two j
slices of bread. Dry crackers ana
bread of themselves are not satisfac
tory eating, and so thought the head
skidder as he continued his fum
bling. His efforts were crowned wil b
success, for at length he found a knife
and something soft in a jar which he
readily deoided was "blackberry jelly.
Into the latter Lo dived quite freely,
spreading a good layer of it on the
crackers aud bread. He theu sat
down to enjoy the fruits of his search.
Being very hungry he ate raveuously
for a while, when at length he felt a
peculiar sensation at his mouth,
throat aud stomach. He became
alarmed and yelled for assistance. It
came aud when a light was made the
skidder discovered he had eaten a
quart of soft soap. His throat aud
mouth have since been so slippery
that he has to put saud into them to
give tone to his voice. Sumner Her

She Was Prepared.
A minister's wife, who is not so
serious minded at all limes as her
husband is, tells somo laughable sto
ries relating to ceremonies which her
husband -performed while they were
living in n newly settled district in
the west.
This minister alwavs felt it his
duty to give each young couple a lit
tle serious advice before he performed
the marriage ceremony, and for this
purpose he usually took them aside,
one at a time, and talked very soberly
to each of them regarding the great
importance of the step they were to
take and the responsibilities they
were to assume.
One day he talked in his most ear
uest manner for several minuted to a
youugwoman who had come to be
married to n' 'very bright looking
young' man. '
"And now," ho said, iu closing, "I
hope yon fully realize the extreme
importance of the step you are tak
ing, and' that "you are prepared for
it."
"Prepared," she said, "iunoceutly,
"well if I aiu't prepared I don't know
who is. I'vegot-four common quilts
and two nice ones, and four bra ml
new feather beds, ten sheets aud
twelve pairs of pillow slips, four liuou
table clothes, a dozen spoons and a
good six quart brass kettlo. If I aiu't
prepared no girl in this town ever

A CHILD KILLED.

they can releave the child ot its peculiar
troubles by using Acker's Baby soother.

Goal Mines Near Vemonia.
We are confident that the Astoria
and South Coast road will strike this
place whenever the road is built, for
to get to the Beaver creek pass they
cannot help passing through this
place without a much greater ex
pense. The Beaver creek pass is a
natural outlet for a jailroad and there
will be no necessity for a heavier
grade tban twenty feet to the mile,
and the road can be built compara-
tively straight, while if any of the
other passes are taken, the grades
will be a great deal heavier and more
frequeut curves will occur, and of
course a greater expense to the corn-
pany onnuiug me roau. as tor tne
railroad tapping tne coal mines, it 13
believed by many that a branch will
be built from some poiut in the Ne
halem valley (probably Vemonia) to
the coal mines and thence to Scap
poose. A branch road could easily
be built from the main line near the
bummit of the Beaver pass to tap the
coal mines, thereby saving a big ex
pense to the company as only about
two miles of road would need to be
built. No railroad surveyors have
ever been over this Benver creek pass
that we are aware of, but if they once
look over this route we are satisfied
thnt is where the road will go.
