'Twas said of old,
The stone that rolled
Ne’er gathered any moss.
They argued, too,
That he who knew
No Venture, knew no loss.
Who rolls, you bet,
Some dust will get,
Some knowledge will he gain;
Who ventures not—
Ab! sad his lot -
A mossbaek will remain.

the cayusea are in very good condition. About

in Norway and Sweden because it is the only
horse meat in the world put up under the same
conditions that cattle and sheep are raised for
food. In putting up horse meat for shipment,
only large pieces from the thighs, shouldersand
muscular portions of the back are salted. Every
piece is packed under the supervision of an
official of the bureau of animal industry, who
brands every piece “horse flesh.” The remain
ing portions of the meat are cooked and dried,
and with the blood, made into a fertilizer, which
is in demand for the sugar plantat'ons of the
Sandwich islands and elsewhere. The skins
are shipped to Ban Francisco tanneries, and the
glue stock to Ran Francisco glue factories. It
takes all the large, muscular pieces from about
six horses to make a barrel of pickled horse
meat. Not a particle of the horse killed is
used here, though there are many who believe
that horse flesh Is just as good and wholesome
in every way as beef. If the price of beef and
mutton keeps on Increasing, as it has In the
past few years, there are many who will proba

HON. JOHN F. CAPLES COMING HOME.
It will be pleasing news to many people in Yamhill county to know
that their friend Judge Caples, after fo ir years'absence from the state as
U. S. consul at Valparaiso, is soon to return home. A letter received by
his daughter, Mrs. M C. Matthieu of Portland, on the 4th inst , states that
he is returning with his daughter Jennie via Europe, and was then sight
seeing in France. Judge Caples’ history is one full of honors—the natural
outgrowth of a life of industry and honest endeavor. He was born in
Maryland in 1832, moved to Ohio and was in 1853 admitted to the bar. He
practiced in that state five years, and in Indiana seven, before coming to
Vancouver in 1865, and then to Portland one year later. He dearly loves
Oregon, and says it is the fairest spot “on God's green earth.” Up to the
time of his consular appointment lie had practiced law in Portland and
surrounding counties 29 years, six years ot which period he was district
attorney for the counties of Multnomah, Clackamas, Washington, Colum
bia and Clatsop. lie was elected to the legislature in 1872. The Judge is
a very social gentleman, and his close t friends never saw him “out of
humor.” His excellence as a political campaigner for the republicans is
well known, and it is in this particular that he is best known in this
county. We never heard him make a speech that he didn't propose three
Cheers and a tiger at the close. He never failed to meet with a hearty re
sponse, and will get it again when he next comes to McMinnville.
