" BREAKING 1NV
Many a man has "broken out" In a
passion, and felt ull "broken up, ' try
ing to get a new pair ot shoes "broken
In." He has had to "break off" many
nn engagemet.t on account of crippled
feet, ond has gone "broke" many a
time trying to get relief for hl corns
tha direct cause of Ill-fitting' shoes.
You will find all this obviated by pur
chasing your footwear at the store of

A POINTKK
Many people believe that all black
smlthlng Jobs are alike that they are
nothing but muscle and material mixed.
That Is true of ordinary Jobs. Brains
are also used to make a good Job. So Is
conscience. A Job made without skill
or honesty is no good. Our work Is
widely known for Its quality, durability
and economy in tne ena.

found wrestling with a superb zoological aay court, will again convene, and the
collection that the Smithsonian Instl- -joe e is so. small that there 1b not
tution would give millions for. The
cream of the outfit was a brilliant red
ant-eater with a tall like a feather dust
er. When Eli's companions turned him
over so that his face pointed more to
the zenith he gradually recovered and
the menagerie disappeared.
When the rain drops came
At daybreak In his battered tent,
Willie was dreaming of the hour
'When he could have, where'er he went
A mug of beer or whisky sour.
The patter of the rain disturbed him
just as he was accumulating a great
and glorious thirst. The first few drops
that dripped, through upon his face
made him blink his eyes. He suit up,
touched his finger to the moisture, and
applied it to his tongue. "Water," he
roared In disgust. "Move the army to
the starting dock."
By 7 o'clock the camp was all astir,
and the committee on eye-openers was
ordered to report at headquarters. At
this Juncture a fight broke out. Thirsty
Willie's cayuse had been tied to a test
ing tank. In the aforesaid testing tank
peacefully slumbered Calamity Jim, the
six-fingered brakeman of the Astoria
and Portland limited freight. He was
stretched upon his back, with a fine
stand of seal-brown, Willamette whis
kers pointing towards Tongue Point. In
the darkness the cayuse had mistaken
this output for baled hay and had
browsed freely thereon. The result was
that most of the whiskers on one side
of hlB face had disappeared.
When Jim sat up and rubbed his eyes
a shriek of laughter went up from his
comrades In arms.
"Wot's eatin' yer?" he grunted.
"Wot's the matter wid your bridal
vail?" sold Hungry Hank In return.
Jim felt for his whiskers, and with a
cry of anguish bounded over the kettle
and at Hungry Hank's throat. Over the
two went, rolling In under the splitting
table, clasped in each other's embrace,
scratching and biting like all get out.
Thirsty Willie heard the disturbance
and stalked to an empty salmon case.
placing his broad fin to his eye as if to
shield the glare of the morning sun, he
roared:
"What, ho! me legions:"
Anaconda Pete, the sergeant, rushed
up with a barrel stave at present arms,
and sang out, "Aye, aye, sir; leegins Is
present." '
"Wot! mutiny In de camp? Bring
dese skates to me tent and have 'em
shot for breakfast."
"Dey was half shot for supper," sug
gested the sergeant. . .
"Mashts nlcht aus," thundered the
leader. "If any blokes Is looking for a
scrap I'll give 'em a game. De keys to
both the graveyards are a hanging to
me vest. .See."
The rioters were brought In and
pinched down to three beers a day for
the rest of the week. They begged plte-
ously for a respite, but tha leader was
deaf to their entreaties.
The encampment was christened
"Camp Half-and-Half" lust night, and
the opening ode for the day was:
A little book beer at this time of year
Is likely to knock a man blind.
But when he awakes, how his appetite
quakes,
For the lunch that he left behind.
This was sung loudly and lustily to
the tune, "The Girl I Left Behind," and
the official poet, Woodslde Wayne, was
onlered to have a new chorus each
morning.
The army expects to move Saturday
or Sunday morning.
Contributions are coming In fast.
Thirsty Willie received a check for $21,-
000 from Cornelius Vaoulerbilt on the
down boat, but it was too late to cash
It In yesterday. No doubt Mr. Gordon,
of the First National bank, will pay It
this morning on presentalon, without
telegraphing aa tn whether It Is good
or not. Also the following "was re
ceived :
Philadelphia, May 3. Parched- Will

that have never been smoked, and oilier

The checks, drafts and other evi
dences of good-will received yesterday
filled a good-slzen basket, and the gen
eral said that If this kept up he would
have to advertise for a, typewriter one
with yellow hair and blue eyes pre
ferred.
All reportens have now been excluded
from the camp, but It has leaked out
that before the army starts It will make
a secret midnight raid on the North
Pu.-illo Brewery, claiming there Is no
beer In Portland equal to the North Pa
cific's brew, and they want the best.
We'll see whut we'll see.
