Curvattia Timet, MISFITS ss Contributed by F, P, Nutting, 0fs5g;!g The Misfit man, who neither Smokes, drinks nor eats hav. atrare- ctates the following from a funny col umn as muen as any one; Found; the Missing Link. "Wha'U you drink?" "Thanks, don't drink." " 1 f avc a smoke." "Nope, don't smoke." "Do yon cat hay?" "Of course J don't eat hay." "Wet!, beat it then yott'r fit com pany for neither man nor beast." All the straws stand out like fiag poles for Wilson. The man with a rotten record al ways well not to throw stones. People who like good old fashioned honesty ami integrity will do well to read "Following a Star," The other day a listtc Portland boy, seven years of age, son of a promi nent Portland man, once an empfoyec of the Democrat in its primitive days, was riding on the cars, going free, though over the limit age. His moth er was obliged to scold htm for some misconduct, when he ejaculated; "I'll get even with yon, I'll tell the conductor how old I am." Why shouldn't the U. S. govern ment do things along sensible lines the same as people; why always so mush red tape, delay and aggravation before a thing is accomplished. A system of promptness along human lines is needed. A lock system along the Willamette from Portland to Cofvaffts, with four locks, is a practical thing; but one from there on to Eugene with the requirement of a lock every mile or two, at a prohibitive cost, ts not prac tical. The enterprise from Corvallis to Eugene should he entirely separate from that between Corvallis and Port land. Yesterday the linotype man made the Misfit man say sinners for sing ers. All singers are undoubtedly sin ners, but a great many sinners are not linger.
