fear that hla wlfo would bo unable
to do her share towards earning a

"It mado mo looso my patlonco,"
said Sholton. "and I gave it a big
dose of laudanum, holding a cloth
so that the drug would not spilt on
Its clothes. Then I placed tho baby

A litter from Frank I.. Holton,
formerly of Dend and now at Ann
Arbor, Mich., contains the following:
"If conditions are not at present
as active aa you wouid like, remem
ber that they, are also verx quiet all
over, and don't forget that you have
ono big thing to be thankful for, that
Is your wondorful climate. In this
respect, no other section of the coun
try can touch Bend."
With tho exception of n few finls'i
Ing touches tho road work which hnj
been going ou in tho business pnrt of
town Is now completed nn Bond has
provided herself with n set of 8 1 roots
that aro good looking and promlso
to wear well. They nra less dusty,
too, than tho old ones nnd having
boon properly crowned should lot
water run off easily so that there will
bo no more of tho mud puddles of
rormor years.
Begun through tho enthusiasm of
ono man tho work was carried
