D. Fry was a younger man in leather pantaloons and "punching" steers over the eastern Washington nills in his successful endeavor to get together the ducats that afterward made a banker ot him, he became ou:ewhat of a star gazer. When he was caught out long aftet the betting of the sun chasing a re fractory cow or prospecting for some reported maverick, J. D. used to find l.U way IjulI; io camp by keeing an eye on the stars. He came to know Venus by her front name, aud could tell with both eyes shut bow many moons Jupiter was supposed to have and whether all ot Saturn's rings were In place or not. Transition from the deck of a cayuse to the polished niahogauy of the money changer's counter does not change the leopard's spots nor the Ethlopean's hue, how ewer, and J. D. tan probably cut a hair brand or use the frying pan on the other outfit's mark with as much dexterity as In the days of yore. Sure it Is that the study of the heaven's has lost none of Its charm for him, and books on astronomy are sand wiched in between volumes that tell the growth of his dollars In his li brary. Sunday a neighbor loaned J. D. a new and powerful telescope, and the cowboy-banker-astronomer was re newing at short range the acqaln tance of his celestial friends. He had a focus on Jupiter, and was in tent upon a hunt for the divers moons. " At the nearby church house the doxology had been sung, and the con gregation was wending its way home ward. A party of ladles neared the Fry premises. There was a piercing feminine shriek, a pattering of foot steps as frightened and trembling women beat a rapid tattoo upon the pavement with number twos. The police department was called, and a regiment of volunteers soon gathered to hunt the bold hold-up who had plied his trade In so public a place. Fry was called over the phone and told of the night prowler that had been crouched behind the bush in his front yard. And Fry began to ask questions. He wanted to know if the hold-up'was about "so tall." Yes, he was Just about "so tall"; and he wore a cap "Just like that"; and that was "Just the description of his whiskers"; and he "had a great gun leveled right over the fence and aim ed right at us." "Why, that was Just me," said the Innocent J. D. "That gun was Presley's new tele Bcope and it wasn't loaded. But I know now what It was I thought was an eclipse of Jupiter that was not Recorded in the astronomy books." The lady who had thrown away her hand bag at the first alarm found her valuables and the crowd dis persed. And Fry's great discovery will not be recorded In the future works on the planets. ROfil'K (.OAT RIDDEN BY DR. 1JYWATKR There was a diversion Monday night at the regular weekly meeting of the Rogues when Dr. Bywater rode the goat and was Initiated into the order and won the title of a good Rogue. The doctor was commission ed to originate and carry through the Initiation of the next new member and next Monday night will reveal what he has up his sleeve. After the levity of the evening the com mittee got down to business and dis cussed matters of especial Interest to Grants Tass and Josephine county. A satisfactory report was received from the master of the public market and the matter of the coming Rogue River valley booster meeting at Grants Pass next week was discussed, the committee recommending that a special meeting of the Commercial club be called to arrange details of the convention.

Informa tion was received at the state prison today that Norman C. Hair, 17; Wil liam E. Roder, burglar, and Thomas Samuels, also a burglar, convicts who made a bold break for liberty late yesterday evening, are in hiding near Miller's ranch, near Rattlesnake Bar. Posses were immediately despatch ed to the Bcene by Warden Johnston, who returned to the prison to take personal charge of the man hunt. "We don't anticipate any trouble in capturing the men," said John ston, "as we do not believe they will sow fight." Numerous reports were received at the prison today of the men's where abouts. The posse men were scat tered about the adjoining country from every point within a radius of many miles of Tne penitentiary. At five o'clock this morning, it was reported at New Castle that the men had passed the Miller ranch, headed northwest. The escaped prisoners were still garbed In stripes, and Hair carried a rifle, taken from Guard Morse at the time of the break. Rattlesnake Bar Is on the Ameri can river, 18 miles northwest of Fol som, and Is In a wild and rough country. It Is believed the men are headed for the mountains, and If they set fno the foothills the officers anticipate trouble In coming up with them.

That Presi dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan plan a "unity of interests" of all na tions in the western hemisphere was the interpretation placed here today on the president's utterances Satur j day at Swarthmore college, Phila- delphla, and yesterday in Mobile, j Politicians and diplomats here ! were convinced that in those two speeches the national executive was outlining the policy he and the prem ier of his cabinet have decided on. The president, it was said on ex cellent authority, is determined to avoid intervention in Mexico If pos sible, but if he must intervene, to withdraw as soon as order has been restored. It was admitted that his declara tion that the United States intends to seize no territory has put him in a position where he can command the support of all parties In congress if a resort to force becomes absolute ly necessary. He and Secretary Bryan will con fer tomorrow, following the presi dent's return from Mobile, and It was thought possible that publication of a definite and unequivocal outline of their policy might be the result of their conversation. Dispatches from Mexico City today indicated that President Huerta wa3 considering the proclamation of ex Foreign Minister Gamboa as presi dent of Mexico and of General Blan quet as vice-president. Both are un der his control and such a step would still further complicate the situation. Lordsburg, Cal., Oct. 28. This city wants a marshal.

Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines If you want to contribute directly to the occurrence of capillary bron chitis and pneumonia use cough me dicines that contain codine, mor phine, heroin and other sedatives when you have a cough or cold. An expectorant like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is what is needed. That Cleans ont the culture beds or breeding places for the germ dis eases. That is why pneumonia never results from a cold when Chamber Iain's Cough Remedy is used. It has a world-wide reputation for its cures. It contains no morphine or other se dative.
