Editor Gla cier: Followilig is a report of Ilusum grange's doings Thanksgiving d:iy. Hud you been at Ilusum on that day you could have seen the people going to the school house with baskets Gllod with everything to satisfy the inner man But. we as grangers did not slop with well filled baskets but brought along samples of vegetable?, fruits and chicks as well to exhibit, all of which your humble scribe can say rivaled anything in that line seen this year. At ID o'clock the master's gavel fell and the labors of the day began. We initiated a class of eight in the 3d and 4th degrees, followed by a dinner prepared by the worthy ma tron of our order. Aud it ye editor bad been here he surely would have gone home with an attack of indigestion or' gout. To say the least, llusom matrons are good cooks. lint we as grangers look for something more than means to satisfy the inner man. So, after doing justice to all the good things to cat, the following literary programme was ren dered: Instrumental music by Miss ?ird Williams and Harry Mathews, followed THE LADIES of the DTAB Will hold their annual BAZAAR FJUDAYand SATTUb Vll, Dec. 11 and 12, At the OPERA HOUSE A New England din ner will be served from 12 to 2 o'clock each day.

There were also fine carrots, pumpkins, potatoes and beets on exhibit by the mile. We all had oyste: plants there, so you see we grangers do not have to buy our oysters, even if we ilon t live near the sea. The fruit exhibit was the best part of our little fair.

In the three months the school has been in session she has hud to correct but one pupil. A buy was kept in one evening for not h iving his lessons. II C.

In addition to the regular school work, the pupils ill write descriptive articles on II . ,1.1 Diver and the Krankton district, hile pictures of the homes of the pu pils with orchards and typical fruit grow iug scenes will be gathered. The school houtc will be the center about wl.lth tiie o;her pictures will be grouped. J. T. Neff of The Dalles, deputy coun ty school superintendent, was in Hood River last week, and visited the schools of the alley. Mr. Neft expressed him self as very much pleased with the work of both teachers and pupils. He also arranged for the Hood River schools to prepare matter for the educational ex hibit which Oregon is to furnish for the world's fair next year at St. Ixuiig. This exhibit is to be made of written work of the school children, and the material must be in the office cf the county sneriutendent by January 20. The Hood River schools have joined heartily in the intention to prepare an exhibit huh will be a credit to the country. Nearly 11,000 acres of pine timber on the eastern elope of the Cascade mountains between the Military and Mckenzie roads, were deeded to a Min nesota titular firm recently by the state land Ixinrd for f 1 25 an acre. How did 1 1 ey manage to get such a quantity when sn individual is allowed to purchase but eK) acres and that at f2 50 an acre? Sim ply by hiring some sixty persons to file on the land with lien landscrip for which the state got but f 1.2d an acre. ' And at that time a person outside the state land ring could not get an acre of scrip from the stateboard at the state price.

Hall of the Pine Grove Temperance Union, Dec. 8, 1903. The members of tne rnie Grove Temperance Union bail with pleasure any efforts brought forth by the Law and Order forces of Hood River, and may they continue to act until tney receive sucu an inspiration as will totally drown all endeavors to gratify weak indulgences and that cal culated to do barm, and only harm, to all. The money paid to license any evil brings its own terrible recompense sooner or later. mrs. j. a. Hunt, Pres. Pine Grove Temp. Union.

A "trifling" negro, Ben Button, had been arrested at the in stance of his wife, who was tired of supporting him and insisted that the court make him work: I defended Ben at the Instance of my uncle, who was, I am sorrjto say, inclined to curry favor with the col ored voter. Ben was on the stand. and I was examining him. "Now, Ben," I said, "Amanda de clares In ber complaint that you don't give her any money, and" "Dat ole woman's al'ays complain in'," Interrupted my client. - "Yes, I know, but what I want to ask you is: Are you able to support ber? Have you any income that Is, any fixed income?" Ben looked puzzled. I tried to ex plain and told him that a fixed Income was an income on which' a person could rely absolutely, not one contin gent on odd jobs in other words, a certainty. My uncle was sitting at my elbow coaching me, and I thought I was doing right well. "Now, tell the court," I concluded, "have you a fixed income?" , "Yessar," answered the black scamp. The answer almost took my breath away, for I had not counted on It. "What!" I thundered. "You mean to say that you, Ben Sutton, have a steady, reliable and fixed Income on which you can absolutely depend ?" "Yessar." "What is it?" I gasped in despera tion. "Well, sar, you tee." returned Ben, "Colonel Culver, thar, al'ays guvs me fo' bits an' a sack uy, flour on ever 'lection day." GEMS OF THOUGHT. rardon others often; thyself never. Publlus gyrus. ..

In the reign of good Queen Anne luela were no less frequent than in the rowdy, riotous days of Charles IL Lord Mohun, a dissolute, remorseless nobleman, was the terror of honest London citizens at this time, and many were the infamous escapades in which he played chief character. He was guilty of one act which bears no other name than that of murder the killing of poor Mountford, the actor, In cold blood because he endeavored to protect the honor of Mrs. Bracegirdle, the famous and beautiful actress. It was Lord Mohun who fought and kill ed the Duke of Hamilton, an affair which all will remember who have read Thackeray's great aoveL "Es mond." . The duel was fought with swords In Hyde park, the challenge having been sent by Mohun to the duke, who had, with perfect accuracy, stated that one of Mohun's creatures "bad neither truth nor justice in him." The Duke of Hamilton received a wound in the right side of the leg about seven inches long, another In the right arm, a third in the upper part of the breast, run ning downward toward the body; a fourth on the outside of the left leg. Lord Mohun himself was mortally wounded, receiving a large wound in the groin, another in the right side through the body, in which, the sword plunged right up to the hilt, and a third in his arm. There is no doubt he rightly deserved his death, because, departing from the rules of fence among men of honor, he shortened bis word, thrust nnder his opponent's guard and stabbed the duke In the manner of a common assassin. PHILIPPINE VOLCANOES. Maroa la taa Moat Favosa, aaa aa Taal Cornea Next. The most famous Philippine volcano and one of the finest volcano cones in the world Is that of Mayon. Ita height la 8,070 feet, and the volcano is visible at a great distance. Since 1760 records have been kept of ita eruptions. In that year many plantations and vil lages were buried under a stream of lava which flowed down its eastern slope. About 1,200 lives were lost In the eruption of 1814, which burled the country around a part of the base of Mayon under the outpourings of lava and dust. A similar calamity In 1823 destroyed the lives of about 1,600 per sons. In the nineteenth century there were a number of severe eruptions, in cluding one in 1886-87 which continued about nine months. An eruption In 1897 killed 350 persons and destroyed much property. Twenty-two violent eruptions of this volcano are on record. Next to Mayon the Taal volcano Is the most remarkable. It Is on an is land in the lake of Bombon, and the Is land, built up by Its outpourings, has an area of 220 square miles. The vol cano is Incessantly ejecting dust and vapor from Its crater. Taal, as well as Mayon, has been the center of numer ous destructive earthquakes, but no very great eruption has occurred since 1864, when four villages around the mountain were completely destroyed.
