The rector of the Episcopal church In western town was called upon a short time ago by a man who asked for assistance, and said he was "a 'Pisco pal." The- rector was not favorably Im pressed by the man's appearance, and at last asked: fc "How may I know you to be an tepls- copallan?" Because I have done the things I ought not to hove done, Hnd ha'e left undone the things I ought to have done, and there Is no health in me," prompt ly replied the applicant. "You'll do," said the rector, and gave him enough money to get out of town with. Exchange. A GOOD REASON. A gambler gives the following reason why there are no clinks on gambling house walls: If a clock was on the wall the man who promised to be home on the last car would nearly always catch lit That sort of thing would soon make gambling unprofitable to the profession als. The dawn makes the players reck less an it Is then the gambler make his "soft money." He wants no custom er to be reminded that It is time to go home to hU wife. Mr. William Dench, an Astoria rlo neer of 1865, and an bid Grand Army man ot some prominence in this city has his peculiarities. One of them, and probably the most pronounced, is his passion for boating, and the other duy he evolved a novel Idea that gave him, elderly as he is, a sight that ho not only never saw before, but never even Imagined in his wildest dreams that he could see. Last Wednesday evening he boardod the Telephone with his new Whitehall boat and took a trip to Port land. When the landing was .effected at Jefferson street In that calamity strick en city,. William was the observed of all observers. He pushed his Whitehall out into the .river, took the oars, and pulled away quietly into the stream, while his fellow passengers floundered to the side walks and splashed their way through to dry land in the vicinity of the Heights. He turned his craft Into Wash lngton street, a very pitiful looking grand canal, and having heard that work was plentiful, kept his eyes open for a lucrative Job. He looked in vain, however, and after giving up the pros pect of employment contented himself with a journey through the town, noting down several interesting matters which the "hushing-up" policy of the Asso ciated Press and the no less deceptive and untruthful course of the Portland papers have left severely alone. He was appalled from the beginning of his Jour ney by the destructive work of the flood, and many are the . harrowing tales of ita ravages that he tells. Splendid office furniture gone to rack; frescoed walls of the big real estate centres discolored, cracked and ruined; the miscellaneous assortment of fancy toilet articles and delicate bureau ;ware in the windows of the leading drug stores, hundreds of tons of produce and perishable eatables, elaborate signboards and Innumerable articles of every variety floating about promlsclously all this going to make up a scene uniaralleled and indescribable. Dench pulled round for several hours dodging small steamers and boatloads of Chinese Coolies, steering clear of the big No, 1 Astoria barge anchored in the middle of Alder street, and full of pro visions of all( descriptions, and flnully came to the head of navigation above Ninth Btreet, Ire which vicinity he re mained for some hours disgusted with thd apparance of so much vandalism and pining for a few Inches of the dry ground ho had left at home. At about noon on Thursday he hod seen enough of Portland to last him for the remain der, of his natural life, and decided to make the trip down the river alono In his boat and to note the results of the calamity at various points on the waj down. Among the variety of three dollar wash tubs and six bit rafts that abound at the metropolis his well built end ex pensive Whitehall attracted, pf course, a good deal of attention from, the indi viduals propelling the baser craft, and much humorous badinage resulted. One weather worn veteran, paddling about a sort of cross between a whule- back and an ax5 handle, accosted Dench (ts follows: "Say, cully, where dyer come from?" "From Astoria." , "When yer goln' home?" "I'm goiu' home P. D. Q., and don't you forget it," replied Dench. "Say, do me a favor?" "What is It?" "Take me wld yer. It's a toss up be tween beln' a water logged clam up here an' a clam eater down there, an I guess I've been a clam ail I wonter." Dench wasn't running a private Immi gration office, however, and declined the offer. Whistling drearily the old melody, "Home, Sweet Home," that trilled over the wide waters of Morrison street like a dismal serenade, he backed out pto the channel of the Willamette and turned the nose of his boat towards the ocean. "I got out Into the Btream," he said to an Astorian reporter yesterday, "and came along at a pretty stiff pace with the current past the tops of several hundred railway cars and the remains of a dozen train signals, till I found my self a little the other side of St. Helens. Just in front of that town, or rather what is left of the town, I ran along side a dwelling house gaily racing down the river, tilted slightly on one side. It appared to be a story and a half cot tage. The blinds were all drawn tight, so I could see nothing Inside, and it was too risky for me to get very close to it. An hour after my Whitehall had J left St. Helens It came on to rain and blow. I hod to guess the channel, for there were a dozen of them, and the diizzlo'made lb Impossible for me to see very far ahead. Before I could check, my boat I nearly ran Into a big barn or woodshed that was careening over like a spinning top every throe minutes, making little whirlpools at each turn. I got out of this difficulty handily and continued on my course till I neared Kalama. I knew it was Kalama by In stinct, for there waa nothing else to tell me I was at that once bustling set tlement. The water covered everything, and not a soul was about A few miles below Kalama, In 20 feet of water, I caught up to a church with a spire about 40 feet high, and one of Its big stained glass windows still bidding de fiance to wind and wave. It was quite as large as the Presbyterian church In this city, and a good deal handsomer. Being well Into the centre current I soon left It behind, and It has probably before this been demollshed'"by contact with rocks or logs. After I had noticed the church and had quit speculating where it had come from, I got into a miscellaneous collection of wash-tubs, bureau drawers, logs and thousunds of feet of sawn timber, 12x12, and dozens of other sizes, In a huddled up mass that I can hardly describe. It looked as if a dozen monster saw mills had been picked up bodily, turned over and spilled Into the river in one big heap. The firewood I passed would easily have supplied all Astoria for a . year and Inore, and off Westport the wreckage got thicker and thicker. Tha logs were some of the finest I ever saw 60, 70 and 80 feet long, scantling of all shapes and slz-!3, and cut floor timber In hundreds of little heaps. Just this side of Westport I tried to stMka through, the blind channel, and before X had gone verj far bumped square Into what I trought was a snag. Immedi ately I was greeted with ai chorus of screama from dozens of fowls. It was a chicken coop with the top roost load ed with birds. It was more than my safety was worth to reach over and grab them, and I had to let them go. Then I came on another assortment of wash tubs. The woods were full of them. By "the woods" I mean "the place where the woods used to grow," for all you can see now are the tops of trees. An hour after getting through what I had once christened "Wash Tub Lake," I ran 'up alongside a two-story house. . The blinds were up and I could see white curtains neatly tied at each side of the windows. Backing; my boat up with a good deal of difficulty, I got Just a glance Inside. The room I looked Into was a bedroom) neatly furnished. The bed was made, pillows at the head of It, and. a snowy counterpane over all There was a carpet on the floor, and I noticed several pictures and some to-, bacco advertisements on the walls. You can Just bet I wanted to get Inside, for I might Just aa well have had the con tents of the house as anybody, but the risk was too great, and I had to leave the prize for somebody else. My next adventure was a tussle with a whirl pool which swept the boat round three times and landed It In the top of a pear tree. This waa sufficient to show mo that I was on a ranch of some kind, and looking round I saw, about SO yards off, a barn, outhouse and residence thrown together, with furniture of all descrip tions floating alongside them. "After getting out of the pear tree without mishap and sighing over the fate of the poor devil whose ranch I had Just landed on, I got away and reached home on Sunday afternoon, with min gled feelings, the principal of which was a holy horror of high water and Inunda tions that will stick to me as long as I have got brains to remember that hud dled up mix to re of mud, flood and houses called Portland." Then Dench went home to supper. When baby Is teething or feverish, ask your druggist for St-e-e-dman's Sooth ing Powders. Highest of all in Leavening Power Latest U. S. Gov't Report king r r
