Heppner Times Sheriff Shutt left this morning for Salem to deliver Karris Ridings, the . self confessed horse thief, at the peni tentiary. The travel between Heppner and the Ditch creek outing camps Is quite large these days.- While some are coming back the bulk of the travel is towards the cool shades and sparkling brooks of tbe Blue mountains. While harvesting with combines has not heretofore been the rule In this county there are three In operation this season and probably more will be used next season as the farmers claim they save more wheat than by the irethod of heading and then threshing. Judge H. S. Bean came over from Pendleton Monday In order to accom modate Harris Ridings with an early trial on a charge of horse stealing, as the prisoner was anxious to have the matter settled. He secured Attorney C. E. Woodson's services, but refused to withdraw his plea of guilty, which he had confessed to Sheriff Shutt, and all his attorney could do was to ask the clemency of the court in passing sen tence upon his client. Deputy Dis trict Attorney S. E. Notson appeared for the state. The judge made the sentence one year in the penitentiary. Heppner Gazette Heppner ts quiet and grouchy. Too many bachelors.

CHAFF FROM THE STRAW STACK Marriage and the colic both double people up, but luckily the colic is only temporary. A man can not turn himself into a horse, but any man can make a big ass of himself. A wife Is called the "better half." because she usually get the better of the other half. It Is safer to look a mule in the face "Make Hay While the Suu Shines." There is a lesson In the work of the thrifty farmer. He knows that the bright sunshine may last but a day and he prepares for the showers which are so liable to follow. So it should be with every household. Dysentery, diar rhoea and cholera morbus may attack some member of the home without warning. Chamberlaln.s Colic, Choi era and Diarrhoea. Remedy, which is the best known medicine for these diseases, should always be kept at hand, as immediate treatment Is nec essary, and delay may prove fatal. For sale by W. P.

' Eve is the "only" woman on record who never looked to see what th? ether woman had on. In Africa those who live off of other people are called cannibals, but in thi. country we call them politicians. A man in Pennsylvania sold his vife for three dollars and theii spent the money for a banquet to the purchaser. Some women would sell their husbands for less. ' An exchange says: "The kickers on the farm are not as hard to get along with as the kickers in the towns. On the farm there Is the kicking cow, and our long eared friend, the mule, whi'e In the town there is the old moss-back, who wants all the privileges cf muni cipal living without paying for them a : block so far as he can every municipal Improvement. The cow may be soM for beef and the mule for a shot gu-. but nothing but a funeral will get rid ' f the town kicker. A man who patronizes the big m?.il order houses (when he has the cash) allows the children to play with the big catalogues. One morning the nurse came out ana told tnem tnere was a new baby in the house. "Who brought it?" asked the children. The nurse replied that it izl cr..;e. "Oh 1 know," said one little tot, "it's a Sears Roebuck baby and I bet it's adulterated just like the pepper and strawberry jam was and papa will have to keep it because he sent the money in advance." A brother universalist, having called to remonstrate with Horace Greely on tli e omission of the Tribune to contro vert those ortherdox Christians who were filling the religious press of New York with revivalist sermons and de nouncing damaticn to all but the elect, found the great editor busy vriting, according to the National Magazine. He kept on writtng while his caller said: "Mr. Greely do you mean to let those awful doctrines go unchallenged in your newspaper that all but a few people of this great country are going to hell is that your idea of duty?" Finally Mr. Creely's patience was ex hausted; he lifted his voice and spoke; ' Not half enough p-;oph yo to hell; go 'here ycurse'f!''
