Unhoused cattle have a continuous battle for comfort, and all consumption of food shows no result, for the reason that it is used wholly in keeping life.

In 1862, when the Dalles was gambler’s headquarters, Tom O’Dell attempted to bust a sure thing by doubling. Tom was right so long as his mouey lasted, bat the game was different from what he’d seen in Redwing. Salem claims to have discovered how Portland political p’ayers intend to beat the new primary game. Double up. Their plan is to spring as many candidates as possible, divide the strength of men they do not want, and nnite on the kind of men they do want THE CHINESE MASSACRE. The PreBby terian board of foreign missions declares that ‘‘in no case whatever will the board receive in demnity for the beloved dead, nor will it aooept indemnity of a puni tive character.” The reference here is to the American missionaries who have recently been murdered by a mob of natives in China. The board’s position is that the foreign missionary “ understands that io acoepting this work he accepts some risks, and If, like his Master, he is called upon to laydown his life, no bill of damages should be sent to Caesar.” This means that the United States government will not present any claims of indemnity against China for the murders. It is the correct position, but it is a position whioh has seldom been taken by any government The Presbyterian board of foreign mis siona has made a departure whioh is likely to have influence in this country hereafter, but the step sfltnds s ohsnoe to be lees popular in some of the European countries. Germany, France, England, Rossis and some of the other nations have exacted heavy damages of China in similar cases. In some instances the murders of missionaries have been made the pretext for the seizure of Chinese territory. Here is another case In which Chins ou g h t to be grateful to the United States, though possibly it will over look the favor. Oar prompt evacuation of Chins at the end of the rescue of the legations in Pekin in 1900 was an example whioh the rest of the nations were shamed in to following. We were the means of saving Chins many millions ol dollars in the bills of indemnities whioh China was called on to pay at the end of the 1900 war.

If your blood is impoverished your doctor will tell you what you need to fertilize it and give it the rich, red corpuscles that are lacking in it.

Western Nebraska has a welcome strange thing in a new river prop erly named New river, whioh, in size already rivals the Platte, N io brara and Elkhorn, and is slowly making its way to the Missouri. It is undoubtedly an upbreak of sub terranean streams flowing from the Rocky mountains to the Mississippi valley. Last spring a Cherry pounty cattleman discovered that the rains had filled a deep depression in the hills within his range and saw a prospect of all-summer water there. Bat the water kept rising, spread oat into a great lake, overflowed the little valley, and began the work of river making. It is said that no like phenomenon on so big a scale has ever appeared in this oonntry, and New river comes as a God send to Nebraska. The Herald says that the Oregon King mine has finally and definitely changed hands. While the report, so far as we are able at present To learn, has not been confirmed by those directly interested, it is known that negotiations have been pending for some time, and the fact that contracts are being made to supply the mine with wood, and other signs of activity, is evidence that there is something in the wind. The Geiser-Hendryx Co. are the supposed purchasers. However this may be it is probable that if the mine has changed hands, devel opment work will begin at an early date. Should this prove true, it will doubtless mean renewed activ ity among the other good prospects in the Ashwood neighborhood, and there area number of them. With the development of the Oregon King property we predict an era of prosperity for this section, not only in the mining industry, bat in all other lines of business, as it will enoonrage investments in many enterprises, and immigration of a class of people who make good, substantial citizens.

Then be fell to thinking bow nice would be a woman’s companion ship. W hy not m arry T H e thought of the women who wqre hto usual aaaocl- ataa and repeated the words of an old “W h at!

They were not rich and nevar bad been rich, but their mother before them and their ancestors bad had enough to enable them to live as ladles and gentlemen. Tha Brlnaley glrto ware all vary pretty and vary attractive. H e liked them Im mensely. but he never met them In so ciety.

Had he ever done any one a favor? He triad to thin k o f one unselfish act and failed. They bad all been "returns.” Among hto regular companions It was hardly possible to do favors. They did not need favors. U k e him, they had a-plenty and, like him. spent It all on themselves. I t occurred to him that be would like to do one disinterested a c t W h a t could he do? There was the youngeet Miss Brinsley, scarcely twenty, who would be delighted to re ceive any trifle he would give her that It would be proper fo r her to aecept Presents w ere usually given on Christ m as b a t w h y net on New Year’s?

Men and women with, flushed cheeks w«M-e stand ing around tables drinking to the new year, laughing and shouting boisterous ly. The antics of the men he wouldn’t mind, but both hto Instincts and bis education rendered holden women dis tasteful to him. The old year was dead. The new year bad entered, and one by oqe the sound« without dropped away, and soon there was quiet. H e looked about him, and the room aeemed lonelier than before. Again the problem of a w ife came up to interest him. I f be married It would be expected that be would m arry In hto e e t I f he married out of hto eet hto friends would gradually drop him.

I t was the new year repre sented by a little child tottering with outstretched arms tow ard him. This tiny being represented for him a new life, for It kindled In bis heart a new desire, and that desire led to a new de termination. The next morning he wrote a note to Mrs. Brlnaley asking If he might spend hto N ew Year's evening w ith her fam i ly, and a response came asking him to come In time for dinner.
