STORY TELLING ENDED Two Literary men, each of whom has had a certain fame died within the past week They were Richard Harding Davis and Geo. . Peck. Kotli were counected with the new paper guine and mounted inti public notice through the pos session of a far more delicate instinct in the arrangement of the Queens English than the average devotee who grinds out copy for the press. Peck was by far the older man. As a young man he saw service as a soldier in the Civil War. Returning to Whit wa ter, Wis., he began again a (lis cipleship to the types and soon had the good fortune to attract the attention of Brick Poineroy at La Crosse. Poineroy and his Gold Dust paper man are forgotten but they had a certain prominence in reconstruction days and helped to give Peck his training Eventually the latter established Peck '8 Sun in Milwaukee when "Peck's Had Hoy" got on the map. The exploits of the boy, the grocery man, pa, ma, the hired eirl. the new minister mid O ' a few others were enjoyed bv many for a time. Pecks life for years was like a musical extravaganza. His suc cess as a comic writer was spon taneous but his success as a pol itician was amazing t r . i 1. 1 . . i ... .i . . . . its in iii hum i io i tie ion on Me crest of the wave of disapprova that followed the exactment of the McKinley tariff act; he was elected first mayor of Milwaukee and later Governor of Wiscon sin.

I T oi noaru LMirvman larm, has never recovered from his cha grin at the manner in which the people of the state turned him down on tttis occasion and he has been a political sorehead every since. The Bennett Law, a law com pelling children to attend school was blamed for this but the big gest element was the raise in tariff rates. This political uphevel put in two Democrats as Wisconsin's senators, Vilos and 'Mitchell, and took the same job away from the oritorical John C. Spooner. Spooner ran for g o v e r n o r against Peck the second term. Perhaps the only serious thing ever counected with Peck was his political speeches. Uut no one listened to him. They were for him and let it go at that and they turned down the brilliant Spooner Richard Harding Davis is much more recent. A eon of Rebecca Harding Davis, hiij father wa once Philadelphia Ledger.

Davis was the writer of a pol ished style although his works of fiction will not rank high. He made a breezy war corre spondent and will be missed by many who have learned to wait for his colored discriptions. Possiblv the least attractive fea ture of his record was the di vorcing of the wife of his youth and the immediate wedding with a footlight favorite. SOUTHERN PACIFIC IS SUES BOOKLET ON THE COOS BAY COUNTRY. The opening of the new Coos Bhv branch of the Southern Pa cific has opened up a tvonderfu country, rich in natural re sour.-es. To hem trive to the world the true information in regard ro this section of the State of Oregon, the Southern Po,.w;n i... ti.. : i .. leautiful illustrated folder en titled "The Coos Bay Country." The cover is printed in three colors, and shows two beautifu scenes, one of standing timber, and the other of Ten Mile Lake Illustrations throughout the book show the various cities and other scenic attractions and also give views of the principal industries such as lumbering, dairying and farming. Separate paragraphs are giv en the following: Beautiful in land hikes; Picturesque Ump qua; Lane County's Seaport; Gardiner and Scottsburg; Coos County's cities; Dairying; Fruit mid vegetables; Timber; Coal and water; Power and the Fish ing industry. The author aptly illustrates the possibilities for the future in this section by the following: "Study the Atlantic Coast Line and see if you can discover any istrict with the natural re sources of the Coos Buy Coun try and with her harbor facili ties that is not the site of one or more big cities. Look back fifty years and see what the Coos Bay istrict was a district of blazed trails and almost impenetrable forests. Look at it today, with its modern communities, and then look forward fifty years and try to picture what they will be." , Copies of this book can be ob tained from any Southern Pa cific agent or by writing to Mr. John M. Scott, General Passen ger Agent, Portland, Oregon. C1U8. Hut shortly after the ship arm ed in the waters where the monster was eupK)ced to lie in wait for ves sels the oflicer of the watch describ ed a strange looking beast niaking u,irft liia shin and it was imme diately guessed that this must be j the substance of all the alarming tales. And a pretty good substance it proved too. An attack was made upon it, and after wimp hours' fii'litine with har poons and quick Crers the mysteri ous monster, which proved to be a 6ca elephant between thirteen and t fourteen vards lonr. was slaughter-' ed and taken aboard. I Some years ago the Norwegian government sent out a powerful lit- tie fleet of warships armed with! mines, torpedoes and quick firing guns to exterminate a vast twrae oi seals which was denuding the sea on ! the northwest coast of all fish life. ! But the government had reckoned j upon tens of thousands of seals,, whereas there were millions. So j unending was their number that the fleet had eventually to admit itself defeated, with the loss of one man ; and two slightly wounded owing to an accident and to "retire in order," having exhausted its entire supply of ammunition. New York Ameri can. Irritation and Pain. A sharp distinction should be drawn between irritation and puin. Irritation is not puin, but only a frequent cause of it. Thus a crumb lodi'cil in thp Inrvni ni'iir the vocal o-- - j -- cords produces violent irritation and prolonged coughing, winch often re sults in actual Dain. So. too. a speck of dust in the eye sets up violent ir ritation and inflammation, followed bv actual nain. Of thp surface of the body the finger tips and the end ot the tongue are most sensitive for instance, a burn on the fingers is much more painful than one on the back would be, while one on the tongue would be more painful still. Deeo wounds are not cainful. as a rule, save as regards the surface injury- Th King Snaka. To the rattlesnake and to every other dangerous snake, large or small, the king snake is a terror, i The poisoa of a rattler has no more effect on him than so much moon shine. Instinctively the rattler knows his mutch and at sight of a king snake tries to escape if nos- sible. In fiirht the kintr snake re- lies wholly upon his incredible speed. If the movements of an ordinary snake seem quick to the human eye, the movements of a BARGAINS IN GLOVES! We are closing out our stock of Gloves at very low prices.
