Here is an amusing description of
one of Balzac's periods of lmpecunios
ity. Mery, the poet, a great friend of
' Balzuc, was an inveterate gambler
and rarely left the card table befoi-e
daybreak. His way lay past the Cafe
de Paris,, and for four consecutive
mornings he had met Balzac strolling
leisurely np and down dressed In a
pantalon a pleds (trousers not termi
nating below the nnkle, but with feet
In them like stockings) and frock coal
with velvet-facings. The second morn
ing Mery felt surprised nt the coinci
dence; the third he was puzzled: the
fourth he could hold out no longer and
asked Balznd the reason of these noc
turnal perambulations roundabout the
same spot. .
Balzac put his band In his pocket
and produced an almanac showing that
the sun did not rise before 3:50. "1 no

David Lloyd-George.
The champion of the British budget,
which .has, made, history for English
politics, Is not a man to lose his head
or bis heart In fortune or misfortune.
He came originally from an obscure
Welsh village and should his projects
receive a damaging black eye would
be ready, like Henry Ward Beecher
when warned that a certain course
would ruin his prospects, to "go
back to the woods." Aside from his
feverish Celtic temper, the principal
asset of Lloyd-George In bis present
warfare for the people is a silvery
tongue. He has no personal presence,
but his audience forgets that the mo
ment be opens his mouth.
Already David Lloyd-George at the
age of forty-seven has been thought of
as a coming Gladstone. His convictions
and the principles through which be
hopes to work them out are much the
same as those of the "great common
er" at the height of his career. Like
Gladstone, he is solemnly as well as
fearlessly in earnest, and being right
has done more for his advancement

Curing a Skeptic.
A story is told of Rabbi Wklrewltx.
who fa well known on the east side.
A recently arriwd skeptic and cynic
came to see blra onc-e with a "case"
Intended to put the reverend gentle
man "up a tree." He called on the
rabbi at bis residence in Henry street
and begged to be healed and consoled.
"I suffer." said the skeptic) "from
two maladies. I have a great weak
nessI cannot tell the truth, and that
hurts my soul terribly. 'And I have
lost the sense of taste in my mouth.
Something is wrong with my tongue."
Mr. Wldrewltc studied the man's
moment, seemed to be perplexed and
said: "Come again tomorrow, it is a
IBS KLL WAS Or CONSIBJtliaBLB BUSS,
difficult case. I shall have to reflect
upon it. if God wills I shall be able
to help you."
When the patient returned next day
the rabbi brought forth a pill he bad
prepared, told the doubly afflicted man
to open bis mouth and shoved it hi.
The pill was of considerable size.
Scarcely had the patient allowed it to
dissolve somewhat in bis mouth than
he began to spit, with an expression
of the greatest disgust, and exclaimed:
"What do you mean? That's tar
and sulphur and kerosene yon gave
me. Do you want to poison . me?
Phui!"
"Well, what are you making so much
noise about?" laughed the rabbi, with
great heartiness. "Hasn't God per
formed a miracle? You have told the
truth. It is really tar and sulphur and
kerosene. Aud you have actually re
covered the sense of taste in your
mouth." New York Press,
Sherman's Speech Bottled Up. .
Vice President James S. Sherman,
who swings the gavel which keeps or
der in the senate, Is likely to make a
speech at almost any moment. If
there is a ball, with an unfilled lecture
date or a guaranteed audience of 2,000
people or more anywhere within 500
miles of Washington it can obtain the
services of the vice president of the
United States and a rattling good
speech without serious difficulty.
Mr. Sherman went to Akron, O., to
speak at the annual Garfield dinner.
When be arrived be was Informed
that three other speakers would pre
cede him, taking about ten minutes
each.
"You will be given an hour," said
Senator Dick, who was in charge of
the affair.
At about 11:40 o'clock Senator Dick,
who was preceding, arose to intro
duce the vice president, the additional
speaker having been slipped in mean
while. "We have arranged to close the ban
quet at 12 o'clock," announced Sena
tor DJck. and then be presented Mr.
Sherman. This is the reason that there
is a good speech bottled up in the sen
ate end of the capltol. New York Her

Great Events For
Enterprise "Fans"
La Grande H. &. and W. C. H. &
Friday and Saturday Big
Game 8unday.
There are great events In store for
the Enterprise fans. Friday and Sat
urday of this week the La Grande
High School team will meet the
Wallowa County High School team,
at Enterprise in a series of two
games, and the publlo Is promised a
good entertainment for the two
days. The Wallowa County High
School team Is the aggregation that
defeated the Lostlne team here last
Saturday by a good margin, and the
local boys are confident over the
outcome of the future games.
Perhaps the big game of the ,week
will be that of the Joseph team and
the Enterprise city team, Sunday.
The Enterprise boys have Just; re
ceived the new suits, and the Sun
day game will be the introduction of
the team decked out in the new
"ttrimmlngs."
Last Saturday's Gam. y
The game ou Saturday" between
Va'owa County High school and
Lostlne High school was an extreme
ly creditable exhibition of the na
tional game. It was won by the
County high, but their defeat brought
no discredit to the Lostlne boys .who,
considering their lack of training,
V it vp a strong game. I
While the local boys played well
aud Ct served their victory, the prin
cipal part of the credit belongs jto
Cramer, who pitched in big league
'le. Cramer promises to be the
find of the season. He badi every
thing a pitcher needs, including al
most perfect control. In the first
li.i ing be retired the side with seven
oiitlied balls. In the second inning
he struck out Fleener with four
piirhed balls and immediately follow
ed it up by striking out Leonard
w!th the Bame number. In the ninth
inning he retired the side with four
pitched balls. In the nine Innings
neither a ,wlld pitch nor a base on
balls was charged to htm. Wilson
caught a good game, although the
steadiness of Cramer made his work
easy. Of 'the other players, Ault at
second and Vest in. left, starred. Of
the Lostlne bojs, Cook caught a
very creditable game, considering
the extreme wildneas of Haun, and
Sumpter, at first, was a star.
The runs came this way: In the
second Inning, after Jackson 1 had
struck out, Wilson singled to right,
went to third on ft wild, pitch and
scored while Bauer was being
thrown out from Read to Sumpter,
In the third, Craig singled to left
reaching second when Hammack let
the ball go through bb legs to the
fence, and directly afterwards went
to third on a passed ball, Haun at
this juncture very accommodatingly
passed both Casey and Vest and in
terspersed his work wkh a couple of
wild pitches:, on which, both Craig
and French scored. That was all
until the fifth inning,, when two bases
on balls and three wild pitches
scored Craig, French and Vest, which
ended the scoring for the game.
Lostlne got Ms run la the third.
After wo were out, Cook singled to
right and kept on to third when
Baur let the ball get away from him.
Haun followed with another Into the
same , territory, on which Cook
scored, Hauir being thrown out at
second, being relayed there by Wil
son after It had reached home too
late to catch Cook at the plate. The
score follows:
