Dlrd Thai ti (laid to a Rattlesnake. The road runner Is one of Arltonn's dtstlnctlro ornithological Institution. It U ft long legged, long billed bird, lender of build mid stnndlng some ten Inches high. It la not of ton seen In the farming districts, but Is n fa miliar sight on the desert. It baa gained (be name of road run ner from Ha habit of inking the rond In front of traveler bo they ou horse back or wheeled conveyance, and run ning awlftly or slowly, as occasion re quires, showing off Its neighborly spir it and running qualities. It Is not un common for It to keep In company of the- traveler for several hundred yards No resident of Arlzonn would kill n road runner. It Is firmly lellcvrd that tba bird is the deadly enemy of that monster of the desert, the mttlenike We don't know whether nny of mn reader ever saw n rond runner kill a rattlesnake. If thero Is an authentic torjr of such a thing wo would be glad to publish It Hut the accepted tradition Is that the road runner and tho rattlesnake are deadly enemies and that the rattlesnake fears the road runner beyond anything elc. It U told that the bird drives the snake Into a coll and then, darting round the serpent tike lightning pecks It to death. Whatever truth there may be In the stories of the road runner's accomplishments as n disciple of Bt Tatrlck. tt deserves Un friendly protection It receives. Its quaint sociability Is always n diver sion for the lonesome desert traveler. Arizona Republican. BRAINY BABY. John at The Bulletin 51.50 a yenr. W. W. Faulkner, D. M. D.

One of the most rarely witnessed of natural phenomena, but one that has often been discussed at selenitic meet ings nnd that always awakens wonder when seen, is the so called "green flash" occasionally visible at the mo ment of the disappearance of the sun behind n clear horizon. The otwerver's eye must be fixed upon the rim of the sun ns it disappears In order to catch tho phenomenon. One authority tells us that he has seen the green flash. although rarely, at the Instnnt of the setting of a bright star. Among the explnnntlons offered Is one based upon the optical principle of complementary colors. If one looks nt the sun and then clones the eyes a green disk will be perceived. A sensitive eye might be similarly affected by a brilliant star. New York Herald. LGFT-MANDEDAIONKUYWRENCH" B. FERRELL Physician and Surgeon Office over Deschutes Banking and Trust Co.

BUND, OKHGON A Joke Which Is an Important Factor in Everyday Life. Some great philosopher ha said "A little nonsense now ami then it relished by the bcit of men." He might have added, rellthed by fools, also. The most comical thing In human af fairs is the importance of the unimpor tant. When one comes to realize that more than 90 per cent of all energy in nature, including humanity of course, is wanton waste he can see the joke of Napoleon's in sending the city boys back to Paris to save their beauty and replacing them behind the guns with his grenadiers. That was simply, In other words, sending them to the can teen after a "bucket of reveille," or to the Adjutant to get the "key to the parade ground," identical with the me chanic's joke about the "left handed monkey-wrench," or the "type lice," discovered by the "printer's dcil." All trsdes and professions have their nonsense and otherwise; the former, for diversion, is just as essential as the lat ter. But. In constructing the Tower of Bable the sophistry became a conciete proposition and they had to abandon the works, because "Order is the first law of Heaven."
