Report comes to us, says the Med
ford Mall, that for three afternoons in
succession this week an elderly and
quite well dressed man has been no

the children were returning from
school, and in one instance, our in
formant states, he has beeu seen to
bandoandy and apples to the little
girls as they pass. This procedure may
be all correct and right, but just why
this fellow should allow his generosity
to bestow sweetmeats upon other peo
ple's children is not quite clear.' If he
does uot desist in these practices some
of the Irate parents of the city will
make the surroundings decidedly trop
ica) for him. G "ants Pass had a case
somewhat similar to this something
like a year ago, but the escapade did
not end iu the bestowal of sweetmeats,
but instead, if we remember correctly,
the miserable rascal of that city pei-
suaded a couple of young girls to
apcorripauy him down into California

In 1884 Eugene Field wrote a story
which he called "The Werewolf."
Wbeu it was finished he laid it aside
and a year afterward entirely rewrote
it. Iu 1886 be agaiu look it up aud
revised It, and during the nine years
between that time and his death in
November last, he rewrote it eight
times. His last revision pleased him
and he decided to print It. But death
came too suddenly, and the story was
found unpublished, among his effects.
Mrs, Field, concluding to have the
story appear, gave it to the editor of
the Ladies' Home Journal, in which
magazlTie all of Mr. Field's work, out

taste, could talk fluently, and, in fact,
oould do anything that ordinary mor
tals accomplish, except see. He had
beeu blind for three years preceding
his death. For five yers he suffered
from a tumor which grew at the base
ofthebrau. The growth had a curi
ous effect on Bly's brain and he be
came a curiosity to the physicians,
who awaited his death, which they
could do nothing to prevent, with in
tefest, At the request of a number of
prominent citii Ms and soi)e friends of
Bly, Dr. Kazer made a post-mortem
exnuiliKitlon. When lily's skull was
opened by the surgeon a tumor nearly
the size of a billiard ball was discov

the exception of a thin shell compos d
of tougher Binews, had been destroyed.
When the surgeon's knife touched the

Narrow Escape at The Dalles.
About 40 feet of the. wall of the old
Fitzgerald building, in The Dalles,
tumbled oyer Tuesday night. Fif
teen feet from the wall was a small
box building, the front room of which
was occupied by Mrs. J. J. Hogan's
photograph gallery, and the rooms to
the rear were used by Mr. and Mrs,
Hogan for living apartments, This
building is a total wreck, the falling
wall having struck it with full force,
crushing the front part to the ground,
covering all of Mrs. Hognn's photo
graphing outfit with a foot or more
of brick, but fortunately the portion
occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Hogan as
sleeping apartments withstood the
force of the falling debris, and al
though badly damaged, did not fall.
At the time of the accident Mr. and
Mrs. Hogan were sleeping soundly in
a folding-bed, and the first intimation
they had of danger was when the
crash came. Mrs. Hogan wag thrown
out of bed with such violence as to
render her semi-unootisclous for a
time, but Mr. Hogau was caught In
the folds of the bed, which collapsed
with the crash, and it was with some
dilBculty that he was extricated by
the assistance of bis wife, after she re
gained consciousness,
Everything In the photograph gal
lery was completely demolished, and
Mrs. Hogau'B loss will be several
hundred dollars, but most of their
household furniture escaped without
damage.

A Land Without Animals.
Prom "Popular Science"
Japan Is a land without the domestic
animals'. It l this lack which strike
the stranger so forcibly in looking up
on Japanese landscapes. There are no
cows the Japanese neither drinks
milk nor eats meat. Thereare but few
horses, and these are Imported mainly
for the use of the foreigners. The
freight cars lri the city streets are
pulled and pushed by coolies, and tha
pleasure carriages are drawn by men.
There are but few dogs, and these are
neither used as watc'i dogs, beasts of
burden, nor in hunting, except by
foreigners.
There are no sheep in Japan, and
wool Is not used in ciothlmr. sillt nml
cotton being the staples. There are no
pigs pork is an unknown article of
diet, and lard Is not used iu cooking.
There are uo goats or mules or don
keys. Wild animals there are, how
ever, and In particular, bears of enor
mous size. One of these Mr Finclr
saw stuffed, In a museum, he describes
as "big as an ox." Beside another

A Man Without a Past.
The Boston Courier nubllshes the.
following:, .
Wheu Adam bad shaken himself
and looked around him on the day of
creation, he indulged in something
like the following soliloquy:
"Well, It doesn't look as if I was
going to have muuh company to keep
me irani ueiug lonesome, but there la
one thing I can congratulate mvself
upon, aud that is, I'm a man without
a past.
"I have no foolish actions to Brieve
over, no notes coming due, no had'
ctiaracler live down, uo breach of
promise suit on my hands, no loss of
loaned money to kick myself about, no
creditor to make me hide in the woods,
no dun to put off till next Monday
week, no apology to make for oullincr
on a girl when I was three sheets iu
the wind, no lies to manufacture to
appease au angry wife, aud a great
many other things I hav'n't got to do,
ana last and best of all, I'm in uo
danger of being run down and killed
by a bicycle ridden by a woman iu

but what a mail without a past is pret
