ORE.. OCT. 6, .191 The threatened strike of (be wbop men on the Harriman lines to enforce recognition of the uewly organized Federation Shop Workers became a reality Saturday. The number of men who quit in the 15 states adeoted was estimated at between 20,000 and SO 000 by the union men, although Jul ius Kruttsohnitt, vice president of the Harriman lines, says the number is much larger. Reports from most of the points indioate that the men walk ed outjjwithoat demonstration and no iioting was reported. Traffio was continued without interruption aud the railroad heads say that the shop men's strike even if extended would not interfere with transportation However, indications would point to serious interruption of trafl'io should the strike continue for a long period for the reason that without a fall foroe of skilled labor in the shops roll ing stock will necessarily gteutly de teriorate in etfioionoy. The inevita ble result will be destructive, espec ially to the motive powor, which will entail loss to shipper aud railroad company, through congested freight blockades sure to follow suob oondi tious.

It was not the province of the judge to Issue such a paper; but, knowing the applicant's history, he asked: "Ephralm, were you ever married be fore?" "Jes once, jedge," was the reply.

"You ought to sign your check dif ferently, Mr. Klank," said a Chicago bank employee to a depositor whose ac count runs well up toward $100,000 a year. "What's tho matter with that check?" asked the customer, nettled that, ns he thought, it should be Inti mated ho didn't know how to draw a check. "You misunderstand mo," suld ftio teller. "The check's all right. I was referring to your signature. It is Just the kind that a forger takes delight in copying. If you will allow mo tho privilege of saying so, you're liable to meet with loss In that way ut any time. Any good penman could imitate It so cleverly you'd hardly know the difference yourself. "Tho plainer tho signature the less likelihood there is of a crook trying to imltato It," ho continued nftcr the de positor had becomo interested. "In noarly every big forgery of which I ever heard, or In many of them nt least, tho slgnaturo imitated wus that of a man who wroto with a flourish or who had some peculiar typo of writing that ordinarily would appeal to tho laity ns hard to imitate. It. is a fact that it Is a raro occurrence for n big forger to attempt to imitate the signa ture of tho man who writes n plain band. "Not long ago I had occasion to tell n friend of mine ho stood a chance of having soiuo forger get n good sized check in on him. My friend changed tho stylo of his signature, and a few days later he was asked by a bank to Inspect n check which had been pre sented for payment nnd to which his old stylo slgnaturo wns attached. No had changed Just lu time. Tho forger had been practicing on the old signa ture, getting It down 'pat,' nnd had not ascertained that the new signature was being used." Chicago News.

Likes ho has none, save for tho mimosa thorn and, perhaps, for dying. llo hates red, and when, years ago, sumo genius of the British army equipped the squadrons of tho camel corps with bright crimson saddles the animals so resented the outrage that numbers of them gave up the ghost a pure disgust. Tho camel always, of course, hates man and sometimes displays his viu- dletlvonoss in no uncertain manner. A dignified and elderly llrltlsh officer has been seen to foot it all round the camp In blue- silk pajamas, with one slipper and a shaving brush, closely pursued by his own animal, with his long neck stretched to the utmost and his savago mouth much too near that sleeping suit to be pleasant. At length n fatigue party was summoned, who, with telegraph poles, young trees, rail way ties aud such cajoleries, prevailed upon the beast to desist. As u mount the camel Is said to possess distinct advantages. Ills gait Is comfortable when one has learned to ride him, and for really long journeys, which must perforce be made at a slow pace, he Is much less tiring than a horse. Uesides, he carries wlih him all manlier of things the rider Is likely to need en route canvas buckets of water, in which bottles stand to cool; a writ ing desk (not necessarily of the olllco type), but still nn etllclcnt substitute; n luncheon basket, rifles, telescopes, a mountain gun, if rotpjlred, aud other needful articles. Long Arrow Flights. Them was a marvelous archery feat performed some years ago by Sir ltalph Payne (iallwey on tho links at Le Templet. Shooting with a Turkish bow, he covered a distance of lit!" yards with his best arrow, thus break ing all records achieved lu recent times. This performance, however, fceems to have been exceeded with tho old national weapon of yew. Neade, tt famous archer under Charles I., states that the ordinary range of the Ixnv was from ll'JO to -M0 yards. The longest shot authentically recorded In lmglaud Is that of a secretary of tho Turkish onibass), who in V,'M shot an The Way the Genuine Dressing Is Pre pared by French Cooks. Ilousewives concoct all sorts of dressings cooked and uncooked which they call mayonnaise, but which are not properly entitled to that name. The genuine mayonnaise as prepared by French cooks is made by combining olive oil, egg yoke and vinegar without cooking in such a way that the mix ture will not curdle. The proportions of these ingredients and the method of pulling them together may be varied, and mustard nnd similar seasonings may be added, but fundamentally the real mayonnaise is always the same. The following rule will be found n good one: Have ready one egg yolk, one scant cupful of olive oil, three teaspooufuls of vinegar, a saltspoonful of salt, a sallspoonful of sugar, a llsrht dust of rayenne and a level half teaspoouful of powdered mustard. Ureak the yolk with a fork, beat the mustard, salt, pepper and sugar Into it and when a smooth mixture has been formed be gin adding the oil, drop by drop, until the whole begins to look like creamed butter. Then pour in the oil faster until all Is used. While tho oil is be ing added the dressing should be beat en constantly with a fork. Last of all, pour In the vinegar very slowly, beat ing tho dressing rapidly while doing so. Set it on ice to stand until want ed and add it to the salad the last mo ment before serving. It is well to have everything very cold when making this dressing, al though excellent mayonnaise has been made without the use of ice, but the oil must not be bo cold that it has be gun to thicken. It Is sometimes stated that the drop by drop method is un necessary, but while success may be obtained by putting the ingredients together more quickly it is always risky to do so. The drop by drop method practically insures success. If desired lime Juice may be substituted for the vlniar. Exchange. Homer I. Watts Attorney-at-Law Athena, Oregon. C. W. LASSEN. M. D. V.
