Couldn't Qunrrel, A Fable. j
Intbedeplbs of a loreet lived two
foxes who never bad a cross word with
each other. One ol tlieui said one day
in the politest (ox language: "Let's
quarrel ."
"Very well." md the other, "m you
please, dear fiiend; bot bow shall we et
about it?"
"0, it cannot be difficult," said loz
. number one, "Two legged people fall
oat; why should not we?"
Bo tbey tried all torts ol wavf, bat
could not be done becaaee eaoh would
give way.
At laetjiumber one brought two atones:
"There," said he; "von say tbey are
yours, and I'll say they're mine, and we
will quarrel and fight and acratob. Now
I'll begio. These stones are mine."
"Very well," answered the other gen
tly ; ''you are welcome to them."
"But we BUall never quarrel at this
rate!" cried the other, jumping and lick
Ing hie lace.
"You old simpleton, don't you know
that it takes two to make a quarrel any

Why People Buy Books.
Recently an American firm ol pub
lishers, wishing to discover what It is
that induces people to buy books, invited
replies to a list of questions it sent out.
From the answers it was deduced that
26 per Cent of thooo replying .purchased
the book n question on the recommen-
datton ol booksellers, 16 percent because
they had road and liked other books of
the author, 14 per cent on the rocom
niendatlon of friends, 12 per cent be-
cauBe they saw It advertised, and 10 per
cent becnuse (hey saw it reviewed, while
S per cent bought it because the title at
tract.d them.
The deductions from these figures
which probably are fairly representative
are. on the whole complimentary to ibo
intelligence of readers. The old-time in
fluouce of the bookseller, which was so
potent as to become all-important to an
tbors, ha waned, but still a considerable
degree of It remains, and constitutes
eyen yet the largest single factor, per
nape, in ordinary cases in the selling of
a book.
The Moral of Schwab .
From the Chicago News:
The downfall of Schwab, among other
things, is a tribute to the staying quali
ties of the homely virtnea which cannot
be safely excluded from Wall street if the
public is in a position to find it out, All
the truats are Badiler and wiBor to-day

Timber Land Hatters,
Like View, Ore. Aug. 13, 1003.
Albany Dbmocuat:
I see by ihe press that an indignation
meeting has been held in Linn conaiy,
to protest against the wbolel ho d up
of lands in Eastern O:egon : theie is and
has been much speculation as to juit
what these reservations are ior, and
wbeie the powers he that is bringing
be influence to bear upon tbe adminis
tration, to withdraw the public lands
from actual settlement, especially when
Oregon is advertising its resources
throughout the eastorn states, with a
view to attracting emigrants here to
develop its resources. Wbat effect
tbeBe reserves will have on emigration
when It becomes known in tbe East, and
what tbe future politics of Oregon will
be, is going to be an open question.
I have been mucb in Ihe Land Office
at Lake View for a year past,auc' have
met and talked with many Oruisers,
Locatere, Script men and Representa
tivea of large lumber corporations.
Lake county is 108 miles long and 72
miles wide and baa (lees tbe lakes) 216
townships. There are about CO town
ships that are timbered. The agricul
tural possibilities of the county are
equal to that of Linn county if the land
were dtvided in small holdings, but the
great natural meadows were long ago
bought up undBr the Swamp land act in
areas, varying from 4O acres to many
thousands of acres, one conveyance on
tbe lake country recorda describes the
enormous sum ol 87,000 acree of so called
ewamp land, which was probably not
10 per cent of it swamp, possibly not 5
per cent and in some instances not any.
Then there was tbe Eugene City and
Eastern Oregon wagon road grant, which
crosses this county, and which according
the report of Secretary Vilas under the
first Cleveland administration; was
never earned; and which takes out of
the public domain in this county, some
over 150,000 acres (ql the best of course)
all this placeB a very large per cent of
the best lands in tbe hands of coinpiiri
tively few persons or corporations. The
result is that great as tbe natural, re-
souces of Lake county are there is to-day
only about 2300 inhabitants In t1 e
eounty, while it would support a popu
lation of as many thousand.
There has never been open warlare be
tween tbe cattle and sheep men in this
county, but the former nevertheless
have perfect organization, and have long
deaired to pee the Bhcop men driven
from the rnnge.Jmt have resorted to
diplomacy rather than violonce, and tbe
sheep men lacking any organization have
at last been caught in what !s believed to
be a welt ret trap, which will drive them
lrom tbo rangea of title county, cr will so
handicap them that they will be forced
out ol tbo bu-ini-BB.
The lurge lumber companies coming in
here, and taking large tracts of the
raugo with scrip, and in many instances
getting control of the water on the sum
mer range eoeui to have joined
with the cattle men to bring about this
reservation, and thereby preventing any
individuals from locating more claims
(for the pniBcnt at least) and in the mean
time they pretend to be mucb Irlghtened
at the reservation, and take advantage
ol it to force down the prices of individ
ual claims which they want but dou't
want to buy at a fair valuation.
The lands will bo held up until the
deep unows of winter make it impoessble
(for the individual who wants to locate a
claim, to make a personal investigation,
which ho must do before filling) to get a
olalai, practically taking him out'ol the
field, while ihe scrlpper, who has had it
all cruised, and the reports filed for lu
ture nse, will then eome forward with
scrip, tho supply of which will last as
ong as the Congressional Boodler iives;
and Uncle Sam's printing-prose don't
break down, ho will locate nil tho avail
able timber left, and then the Bcrip will
ba applied to the large enge brush tracts
are so situated that t hoy can be Irrigated
either by storage reeoivnirs or by artes
ian wells, or by diverting water from
streams, so it wenld seem that the actual
settler and home sooner, in any case is to
got nothing more from Lake county's
public domain.
Under this order of things, our couuty
will remain as now, under the dumina
tion and control of tlvo corporations aud
their henchmen, and the population de
crease instead of Increase; the product of
the county (rattle, there will be
elieep) will walk out the same as now,
and the long looked lor 15. R. will full to
uiatorializ;, for the simple reason there
will be no tratlic.
The reservation was roundly con
detuned when II rot heard from, but a
petition romonstraling against it, has
lain In the Like View post office, and
has but two Bigners. Many people would
sign it but it might mako them unpopu
lar with the powers that bs, aud they
might Hud it difficult to support their

SLEEPING APART.
A Great Mistake Made
ried People.
by Mar-
Married peoplo sustaining tbe mono
genic relations, especially make a great
mistake in allowing themselves to sleep
together. This practice, in a measure,
leads to uncongenialty. From five to
eight hours' bodily contact overy 21
with one pereon not only causes nn
equalization of those magnetic elements
which, when diverse in quantity and
quality, produce physical attraction and
paeBional luve, but it promotes perman
ent uncongenialty by making the mar
ried pair grow alike physically. The in
terchange oi individual electricities and
the absorption of each others exhalations
lead directly to tempermontul inadap
tion, and to this cause may doubtless be
ascribed one of the chief reasons why a
husband aud wife manifest such a tend
ency to grow alike nfter many years of
companionship. There is nothing that
will so derange the nervous system of a
perron who is eliminative in nervous
forco as t'. lie in bed all night with an
other person wbo is absorbent in ner
vous foice. ihe world is overrun with
afllicted people from the effects of ner
vous exhaustion and physical decay.
To such Dr. Darrin invites them to trv
