A Literal Interpretation. "Children," aaid the teacher, while Instructing the class In composition, "you should not attempt any Mights of fancy, but simply be yourselves and write what is in you. Do not Imitate any other person's writings or draw in spiration Irom outside sources." As a result of this advice Johnny Wise turned in the following composition: 'We should not otteropt any ' flites ol fancy, but rite what U In us. In me the e is my etuuilck, lungs, heart, liver, two apples one piece of pie, one stick of lemon candy and my dinner." Ladles Aid entertainment.

While it was known that their thought had been in that direction for Some time, it came all too suoSlen. , ' Kev. O. W. Hollman performetl tlie ceremony at 5 :30 r. m. Tuesday, at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. M.T. Walters, in the presence of only immediate relatives of the family. Mrs. Smith was the last remaining unmarried daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walters and their borne is now left without any of their . childreu. Mr. Smith cam to Lakeview a few years ago to accept a position as principal of the Lakeview achoofT'liatij since be.ame an agent of one of the leading life insur ance companies of Oregon. Both of the contracting parties are too well and favorably known in Lakeview to need any words from The Kxantiner, but suf fice it to aayj(that they are numbered among Lakeview's best society . Examiner extends congratulations. What a Dot Did. The Seattle Times tell, of a combat be tween a man and a huge glacier lie.r in Alaska, in which the life of the man was saved by a small mongrel dog, which he had threatened several times to kill, be cause, aa he said, the dint was no "ac count." When the bear had struck down the man and beaten bim into in senMibility, it started away, carrying the unconscious body. The faithful dog fol lowed and bit the beel of the monster until it dropped its burden and turned its attention to the dog. The trusty ser vitor made a hurried escape, drawing the bear after hiioi-' A- second titnedid the bear return and try to drag the body of the man to its lair. A second time did the d )g so worry and harass the Arctic animal that it was again forced to drop its prey. At this time a party of rescuer came and killed the bear. The torn and bleeding form of the man was carried back, to camp, and his life waa saved. A dog is often the best friend a man has. It does not deeert him in mis fortune. His friends may turn from bim in the hour of trouble but bis dog- never. Through summer's heat and winter's wind, whether or not there be food and shelter, the faithful animal will follow. Without murmur or desertion will re ceive the kicks of its master in the fiU of ill temper, and run to lick his hand when the sunshine comes again. It will guard bis home, watch over his chil dren, protect his wife and all w ithout pi ice or hope of rew ard. There is no more sincere mourner. In many cases he has remained for days watching his master's grave. EXPOSITION MONEY OUT Found Dead. A telephone message was received from Mrs. Geo. Conn at'Paisley by Coro ner F. E. Harris Tuesday evening, in forming the coroner that a man by the name of Stewart, bearding sheep lor Geo. Clark had been found dead io the hills between the ZX ranch and Abort Lake. Owing to sickness in Mr. Har ris' family he was unable to go op, so phoned back to have Alvtn Moaa, jus tice of the piece for that precinct, hold an inquest and ascertain the cause of death. As Mr. Moss waa not at Paisley at the time there will be some delay iu finding out the particulars. The mail disappeared Sunday with a bunch ol sheep and as he did not return at the usual time a search waa insti tuted with the result aa stated above. , Tha Colonel Oplnea, Our Lake county co-temporarie are again building railroads on paper. Our candid opinion is that all this talk about tha Klamathan. the Anderson, the Me- Clood and other roads now projected or in course of construction will end on. trie timber lands owned by the companies building the roads. They are simply lumber roads and nothing else. The N-C-0 Ry., U Is apparent to ua, is prepar ing for a prolonged stay at Madeline Evcrythics tends that way. YW dealer. Flah In Crater Lake. It ia said that J. S. Diller. the U. S. geologist, has written to Dr. E. Kirch- gessnerof Medford, from Washington, under date of Nov. 1st, among other things regarding Crater Lake as follows : "Durina mr visit there this summer (1901) we found some trout in Crater Laka fullv 30 inches in length and it is evident that tb lake must have been stocked many years ago. Do you know of any one putting trout in the lake at an early uateT If so I snail be greatly obliged for definite Information concern ing the matter." In 1807 the United States officials nlaced some trout in Crater Lake and those of which Mr. Diller speak must be some of them. Heavy Coy ot Bounty.

The new 10 United States legal tender note, recently authorised by the Treas ury Department, has mad iu appear ance at Salem. It came from Paying Teller Gibbon, of the Treasury Depart ment at Washington, being one of the first sent out from the Department. It mav well be called the Lew is and Clark Exposition note, as it is certainly com memorative of the proposed Exposition to be held in Portland in 1905. The striking lea m re of the face of the new note is the vignette of a buffalo, which nccnpies the center, and is slight ly larger than the Indian on the new 5 note recently issued. On one side of the buffalo is a smaller vignette of Lewis, and on the opposite side a vignette of Clark. The portraits of Lewis and Clare give Oregon the right to claim that the note is commemortive of the Exposition of 1905, and this claim ia certainly well founded It baa been tbe deeire of the Treasury Department to have each denomination of Government note bear soma disiinguiahing mark on its face, which w ill be prominent above all else. Aa the Indian does on tbe new 5 note, it was thought the buffalo would readily indentify the now tens, besides being a purely American figure. The agitation on the Lewis and Clark Exposition had reached the ears of de partment officials, and io casting about for two allied prominent Americans, these explorers were recalled. Further more, this being an area of expansion, it wa thought all tbe more appropriate that two men who added , such a vast and rich territory to the United States might now be properly and fittingly re membered and for these reasons tbe por traits of Lewi and Clark were selected to adorn tbo new 10 notes. The design is a most beautiful one, and the . new notes will be thoroughly appreciated by all who secure a goodly supply of them. Telephone Directors Meeting;. A meeting of tbe directors of the Lakeview Silver Lake Telephone Com pany was called last Saturday for tbe purpose of settleing op the affairs of the company after the completion of the line. The meeting lasted two days. Saturday and Monday. , t It was found that the line bad cost more than had been anticipated, and that 1,994 bad been expended more than the 5,000 of original stock sub scribed. There waa also found 332.45 worth of material left on hand. It waa decided to iucrease the stock to the full amount of the cost of the line, or o994. Each ol the directors increased their stock to 500 each, leaving a balance to be subscribed by non-stockholders of 1,044. In two hours after the meeting had adiourned enough had been sub scribed to reduce the balance down to 14(54. This lattei amount is not ex pected to remain long, a several par tita who have heretofore expressed a de sire to take stock, had not been seen opto the time of going to presa. The di rectors decided in order to make tne tvblic more familiar with the working of the line, to give the free use of the phones at every office of the company, tr. all atiiMcribera and intending patron of the line, on Friday aud Saturday. Rvnrmne wboexoecU to have bu8ines over this lineehoul avail themselves of this opportunity. You can talk 100 miles just as easy aa you can to anyone in the same room. Since the above waa put in type there i.aa hAn 1171 rtaid in. most of which ia for stock sold, and the remainder for a nhnn and some material that had been sold by the company. The balance of indebtedness now Is 293. Church Notice. Services at tbe Baptlsr church Sun day niornii.g and evening. , ' BCBJBCT8.
