A . 1 Tearing along the street, my friend Mr. .who is but a little known poet and novel writer, encountered nie with flashing eyes and threaten ing mein. I stopped him and asked: "What ever is the matter?" "The matter is," he rejoined furi ously, "that I am going to his house to punch his head." "Who's head?" "Why, that scoundrel's, the painter J . Owing to personal grudge against me, he has made me ridicu lous in the face of the world." "How is that?" "Why, I have just come from the Permanent Exhibition of Painting3. He has exhibited a picture there call ed 'The Allegory of Sleep.' A man is in an armchair with his head down inclining on his breast and his arms dropping. He is asleep profoundly, and holds, clasped in his right hand, a half opened book the last volume of my poems, with my portrait on the cover." A military officer once bet an ath lete that he could not hop up a cer tain long flight of steps two at a time. The athlete accepted the wager and made the trial, to find there were forty-one steps to the flight, and that after making twenty hops he had lost. He paid up, but accused the other of shart practise. "Sharp practice!" was the retort indignant. "Well I'll make the same bet with you that I can do it." The other expecting to win his money back, assented. The officer then hopped up forty steps in twenty hops, and, hopping back one, finished in the prescribed manner, and won the wager. Little Girl (Severely)-I used to like you, Mr. Jinks, but I can't any more now I know you're a horrid German Jinks. Nonsense, my dear. What put such an. absurd idea Into your head? Little Girl.

Y t t Larry Harris In an unguarded mo ment accompanied some friends on a yachting trip down the coast, during which rough weather was encounter ed. Finally the genial Larry was dis covered hanging on for dear life with scarcely enough interest remaining to care whether port was made or not. "Feeling pretty sick, old man, aren't you?" said one seasoned salt, sympa thetically. "Sick?" he moaned. "Why, thousands have died who were not half as sick as I am now." One Sunday morning Mr. Moody, the revivalist, entered a Chicago drug store, distributing tracts. At the back of the store sat an elderly and distinguished citizen reading a morn ing newspaper Mr. Moody approach ed this gentleman and threw one of the temperance tracts upon the paper before him. The old gentleman glanced at the tract, and then looking up benlgnantly at Moody, asked: "Are you a reformed drunkard?" "No sir, I am not!" cried Moody, draw ing back indignantly. "Then why the devil don't you reform?" quietly asked the old gentleman. Molly, the new Irish girl, was one of those heavy-handed creatures who was forever dropping or breaking things. Hearing a crash of glassware one morning, her mistress called in a resigned voice from the next room: Well Mollie, what are you doing nowv i ain t doin notnin', mum. It's done." One Saturday night a lady who pos- a fruit and vegetable shop hur ried to serve her last customer, a very red-faced woman. She asked for two cents' worth ot vegatables, and wanted a piece of everything. When she had been given what she desired, she politely asked if they could be wrapped In a piece of paper and tied with a string. The shopkeeper turned to her quite calm, and said. Wait a minute, and I will run across to the butcher's for a bone and I think that will complete your Sunday's dinner." One night a traveler in the South secured accommodations at the only dwelling In sight the log cabin of an old negro. When bedtime came the old darkey asked him to join in the family prayers. So he knelt down with the members ot the household upon the hard puncheon floor. The negro closed his eyes and threw his head back and opened his mouth and began. He began with Genesis and worked gradually downward, and prayed for twenty minutes without a pause. The traveler's knees were hurting him like the toothache and he got desperate. He nudged the per son nearest to hlra, a twelve year old boy, who had his head on a chair seat and was peacefully dozing through the ordeal. "What is it boss?" whis pered the picklnlnny, waking with a start. "How long is this prayer goin' to last?" he whispered back. "Has daddy gone took de chillen of Isrel 'croast de Red Sea yit?" "Not yit. "Well, den," he whispered back, "we'en be get to de Red Sea he's just half done." The night that David Belasco pre sented in Chicago, "The Case of Beck," a play having to do with dual identity, two dramatic critics met In the lobby of the treatre after the sec ond act. "Say," inquired one, "isn't there a medical world that describes this play a scientific description word?" "Yes. Psychotherapeutic." "Gee whiz!" exclaimed the first. "I Having come into sudden wealth, and feeling that he owed it a duty to himself and his fellow-men to climb, a man who had been engaged in some queer business transactions induced one of the younger members of a rather exclusive club to put his name Some of the old guard fell to dis cussing the applicant. "I can't place him," said one. "Is he a member of any other clubs?"

PHONES: SHOP 572; RESIDENCE 552 Located; on North Main Street HEPPNER OREGON There was recently brought before a police magistrate in the South an old darkey who had fallen foul of a bulldog while in the act of entering the henhouse of the dog's owner. "Didn't I Rive you ten days last month for the same offense?" asked the magistrate. "It was the same henhouse you were trying to get into. What have you got to say for your self?" The darkey seemed perplexed. "Yo' honah." he said, "yo' sent me to the chain gang fo tryin' to steal some chickens, didn't yoo'?" "Yes; that was the charge." "An' don't de law say yo' can't be charged twice with de same offense?" "That no man shall be twice placed in Jeopardy for the identical act yes." "Den, yo' honah, youse gotta let me go, suh. I was after de same chickens, suh." Willie came to his mother with an expression of anxiety on his face. "Ma," he said, "If a poor hungry little boy was to come to the back door and ask for something to eat, would you give him that piece of pie that was left over from dinner?" "Yes, Willie, of course I would," said the mother. Willie's face cleared. "All right," he said, "Just wait a minute till I run around to the back door." Two mothers--each with her bhild visited the Chicago Art Museum. As they passed the "Winged Victory" the little boy exclaimed, "Huh!" She ain't got no head." "Sh." the hori fled little girl replied, "That's Art she don't need none." LicensedEmbalmer Lady Assistant J.L.YEAGER FUNERAL DIRECTOR Phone Residence Heppner, Oregon The managing editor wheeled his chair around and pushed a button in the wall. The person wanted enter ed. "Here," said the editor, "are a number- of directions from outsiders as to the best way to run a newspap r. See that they are all carried out." And the office boy, gathered them all into a large waste basket, did so. It was a very fashionable concert and the artists very well known ones, but the two young thin.;. were too busy with picking out their peculiar ities to licar the music. In the midst of a beautiful selec tion the pianist suddenly lifted his hands from the keys and one of the young things was heard to say clearly "I wonder if that hair is Ma own?" The old man who sat beside her was slightly deaf, but lie turned with a benevolent smile. "No, Miss," he imparted pleasant ly, "that is Schubert's." "I done haf to go out collectin foh de missionary society," she explained. "But I have work for you to do," said Mrs. Burns,, "and you need all the money you can get." "I know," said the old mammy, "but I done haf to collect foh de mis sionary society." "What do you get paid for collect ing?" asked Mrs. Burnus. "I don't get paid," said Mandy. "I only gets what I collect." Mrs. Burns had found some house work for an old negress, but after working a day or two Mandy said she must quit. 6 lots 40x90; 1 lot 60x110; 1 8 room dwelling, woodshed and other outbuildings; 1 6-rotm dwelling. woodshed and other outbuildings; 1 barn, used for livery stable, 64x64.
