This with the fact that fires have burned the poles and leveled the wires in southern and central Oregon has resulted in practically tying up Portland and vicinity from communi cation by wire. ' Too Long. An old lady of Ms flock once called upon Dr. Gill with "a grievance. The doctor's neckbands were too long for her ideas of ministerial humility, and after a long harangue on the sin of pride she Intimated that she had brought a pair of scissors with her and would be pleased If her dear pastor would permit her to cut them down to her notions of propriety. The doctor not only listened patient ly, but handed over the offending white bands to , be operated upon. When she had cut them to her satis faction and returned the bibs, it was tbe doctor's turn. "Now," said he, "you must do me a 'good turn also." "Yes, that T will, doctor. What can It be?" "Well, you have something about yon which is a deal too long and which causes me no end of trouble, and I should like to see it shorter." "Indeed, dear sir, I will not hesi tate. What is It? Here are the scis sors. Use them ns you please." "Come, then," said the sturdy divine, "good sister, put out your tongue." London tTelegraph.
