A LADY TALKS

has hankered for a manicure -set, and
to .shut her up and because it was
Christmas, I buys her one of them

Just lu time to see a lady pick It up,
and put it into her bushel baskot she
thinks Ib a handbag. The minute I sot
eyes on that female, I knew she had
been hit with a lupse of memory, but
I Bald to her, not rough:
I beg your pardon. What you Just
picked up belongs to me, and It's
KIsle'a from Santy Clans.
"To whom do you refer," bIio says.
I says, I refer to what you Just
stooped over and picked up, and which
does not belong to you, as I paid for It,
and. If you don't believe me, ask the
clerk, but he was gone, too.
Then she says: "I am at a loss to
understand. I have not stooped ovor
today. You are far too hasty in accus
ing, strangers of thoft. I do not care
for any more words with you. Good
day!"
Such Is Fato, and somebody back

their sock, and I'll bet the old girl Rot
all out of wind rushing home to put a
clean doili'e under the Biblo, on the

an atrocity like that, nnd so would I

0 ALIFOIIXIA. is n treat slate. The people of Southern Orecoii
nee piirtieiilnrly ready to hand it to their liiff and wealthy i
i.eigiibor on the south.
liut in one direction, and u most important one, Oregon is beat
ins California a city bloek. That is in the direction of completing
1lie Pacific Highway.
Some time ago there was a meeting between highway officials of
Oregon and California, on the state line. A project to complete the
Pacific. Highway was duly commemorated, there were speeches and
much enthusiasm. The representatives of California shook hands
with tho representatives of Oregon and made the proud boast that
California would get to the slate line with a paved highway, first.
With its well-established reputation of doing big things in a big
way, everybody believed California would muke that boast good. But
they didn't. They haven't. Oregon not only reached the state line
with u paved road first, but has its highway from Portland practically
completed, while the road on the other side of the mountains is still
in the air, or in the mud, whichever you may prefer.
The fault does not lie with the people of Northern California. They
have done everything in their power to get this road completed. The
state commission has agreed to advertise for bids on paving from
. reku to Grenada, and the grading and widening of the road from
Klamath river to the Oregon line, but no paving for this latter and
most important unit has been provided for.
In short 109 miles from the Oregon line to Redding will remain
unpaved even when the paving from Yreka to Grenada is completed.
This failure on tho part of the state o California to make good
not only reflects upon the reputation of that state, but works a se
rious injury upon Oregon, particularly Southern Oregon. A coast
highway is in a certain sense no stronger than it weakest link, and
until California completes her part of the contract, Oregon's fine
highway naturally must suffer, and the business of the state must
suffer. The stale of California, suffers also, for tho completion of a
paved, highway to Sau Francisco would mean a tremendous- motor
traffic from Oregon south every day in the year, but particularly in
the winter.
California should complete its Pacific Highway. Laterals can wait
the main trunk line can't wait. It is time California was awakened
to the value of its reputation and the danger of losing it.

COURAGE.
WHEN Mrs. Spick, a neighbor dame, had lost her muley cow,
I colled to say it was a shame, but said that dauntless
frail, "Why worry f Twill bo all the snmo a hundred years
from now." It was fur her a grievous loss; she sold somo milk
and cheeso, which helped to buy the Worcester sauce, the wiener,
toast and teas; but patiently she bears her cross, and smiles at
fate's decrees. Her logic's such as pagans write, that much I
must allow ; but still it. makes her outlook bright, and soothes her
furrowed brow; her griefs will bo forgotten quite, n hundred
years from now. And so will yours nnd so will mine, and those
of every man, and putting up a feeble whine is but a caitiff's
plan; our eyes should waste no precious 'brine throughout life's
little span. It is in vain to cry, "Alas," to raise a sinful row;
like stubble all life's ills will pass beneath time's speeding plow;
your choicest woe will cut no grass a hundred years from now.
