Safety Firrt For Investor. A conservative policy would prompt all buyers of securities to Invest at least a partion of tbelr capital in sound bomls. Many Investors bave a prefer ence exclusively for Stocks bevuuse tbe latter niay render a higher yield or may fluctuate more widely, thus offer ing larger chances for speculative protlt. Diviilend paying sluuva if tbe seasoned soyt are not to be belittled, and th y will tcrhs always form tbe major portion of tbe average inves tor's pim-hases. There is reasonable safety hi them. Hut tinner 'Vorner stones of fortune" are found in the better class bonds. These are not neces sarily gilt edseil. but they are well se cured. In times of prosperity tbe issu ing corporations have no difficulty iu meeting Interest charges. Iu times of depression dividends on stocks may be suspended, but the enterprise must pay interest on its bonds or submit to fowli'sure. And In such event the bondholder rarely suffers loss. Their high degree of stability and ' safety commends good bonds as an indispen sable part of any well established es tateLeslie's Weekly. Save Your Eyesight. "A great many men who are well enough informed ou other topics do uot kuow the first principles of how to conserve their eyesight," Dr. Eugene L. Fisk is quoted iu World's Work. "They may be conscious of eye strain and yet unconsciously go right on do In; many things to increase thut strain, things such as these reading a news paper on a Jiggly street car, working with a light directly behind them or directly in their faces, reading or work ing In too bright u glare or in a dim or flickering illumination. They do not realiza that they might well limit their allowauce of moving pictures. They dj not know the harm In too brilliant a desk light. They buy worthless put cut uostrums for the eye and have a positive Ureal .about udopting glasses. The price they pay for nil this is often extremely dear. It ranges from con stant physical discomfort to loss of sigUL" Lungs of the Whale. Concerning the breathing apparatus of tbo whale an eminent naturalist says: "Tha windpipe does not com mtuikate with tbe mouth. A hole is. as it were, bored right through the bark of the head. Engines s would do well to copy the action of the valve of (In whale's blow hole. A mure per feit piece of strut lure it is Impossible to imagine. Day and night, asleep or iuval:i the whale works his breathing apl.arutus in such a manner that nol a d:np o'.' water ever gets down into the lungs. Again, the whale must of necessity stay u much longer period under vviit.r than seals. This alow ;ir!;;hi possibly drown him, inasmuch as tlie luin;s cannot have access to fresh air. Wu find that this difficulty has bcjen anticipated and obviated by a peculiar reservoir In the venous sys tem, which nscrvoir is situated at the back of the lungs." Marked the Snakes. A member of the house of represent atives last season had a habit of marking certain bills on his bill file with a blue pencil, making curious spiral, wriggly lines all over the face of each bill be marked. "Why do you mark your bill tile In that manner?" one day usked the legls Inter who sat next to him. "I do that," be answered, "because them bills has a snake iu them, and they ain't goin' to wriggle through without my votin' agin them. 1 know them when 1 get them by the blue snake marks."

"There goes n man who has faced death In every possible form without a trempr." "He doesn't look like a man who has led a particularly adventurous life," "He hasn't, but he goes to the mov ies ever,- m'-Iii hi the week." New York WoiiU. 8pead of the Dromedary, The speed of the dromedary has been greatly exaggerated, the Arabs assert ing that it is swifter than the horso. but eight or nine miles an hour is the utmost that it Is able to perform. This pace, however, it can keep up for hours together. An Admiring Spectator. "I never saw a man with a truer eye for measurement or a firmer band for execution." "You refer to a sculptor?" "No; to the butcher who cut a steak for me this morning."-Washington Star, Riddles. Solomon, king of Israel, is said to have been fond of riddles. Kiddles were In favor with the ancient Egyp tians. They were especially used at banquets both by Greeks aud Romans. All Must Help. A wise man who does not nssist with his councils, a rich man with his char ity and a poor man with his labor are perfect uulsanceg In a commonwealth. -Swift Get Water From Ditch Creek. Oscar Minor was up to the head waters of Ditch creek the first of the week to look up the proposition of turnjng a part of the water of that creek into Willow creek. For this purpose a ditch had been construct ed across Ditch creek prairie last sea son and a dam put in to divert the water. Mr. Minor found the ditch in excellent condition aud it required but fifteen minutes work to mend the dam and now the water is com ing down Willow creek. While it is not a very large stream, it helps in keeping up the supply of water in Willow creek. Willow creek has been running pretty low at Heppner the past week, owing to the fact that the people above town bave been using the waters at a lively rate. As a cou sequence there has not been sufficient water to supply the street sorlnkler and the people of Heppner have been eating dirt at a good rate, and it has gone down well with the excessive heat. Fire Started By Hot Sun. Alex Green reports that a first class fire was started at his home on the north side of Alkali street last Saturday afternoon, by the concen tration of the rays of the hot sun through a front window. The cur tains were entirely burned and the room under fair way to be badly scorched .when the fire was dfscovr ered. Mr. Green can acount for the fire in no other way than that the sun's rays were so reflected and con centrated on the curtains sufficient to fire them. Off For Extensive Eastern Trip. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Hughes depart ed Saturday for an extended trip throughout the South and East. They go first to California and will visit a sister of Mr. Hughes at Weed, also making stops at San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Ewing had four cars, Thompson and Gentry, one, Bob Car sner one and Damms Bros., of John Day, two. The Ewing cattle had been fattened at the mountain ranch on Caplinger, and this cleans up what stock he had left in Morrow county. Off For Lehman Springs. Peter Linn, of lone, passed through Heppner on Monday on his way to Lehman Springs to remain for a short time.
