About $900 was subscribed there the other evening for tlie railroad. a » * _ The bootlegger squealed when put on the stund. No other evidence was neces sary after a confession like that. * * * . Keep away from gambling joints, and «Jon't go bootlegging and selling w hiskey i if you don t want to be rounded up. » i. * * Those who pleaded guijiy lor violât, ingthe local option law showed good judgment and are money in pocket by doing so. # * » If the members of the Tillamook Bar Association had the interest of. Tilla mook City at heart they would have re fused to defend those who were arrested last week. * st W The taxpayers of this county are pay ing Sheriff Crenshaw $1,600 a year to do his duty, and they have a right to expect that he will do it, no matter who it offends or who jt pleases. * * * By all means push every gambling case and don’t make fish of a few persons and fowl of a lot of others. Rouud them up, every one of them, who have been gamb ling at the White Corner the last few months. » » * There are a tew persons in this city who would not comply with the law when saloons were running. They will not do so without saloons. That being the case, these law breakers ought to be given a touch of high life behind the bars of the county jail < ♦ * Where the violators of the law have taken to fighting the cases, the district attorney ought to push the other cases against them so as to give them a fine and jail sentence, the same as the Jap. Why not ? Let them have all the fighting they want and the public will soon see where it will land them. M * W It is pliin that one witness in the whiskey cases have gone on the stand and perjured himself, That is not the first oase where witnesses have done that in gambling and whiskey cases in this city, but it in time the deputy district attorney pur a stop to this by sending s m;e one to tbe penitentiary for swear ing falsely. * * * Mayor Botts, in his message, rightly calls attention to the White Corner, a place which has brought Tillamook City into disrepute. It has always been a gambling joint. Recent evidence obtain cd proves that the gamblers are opernt- ing there, blit behind closed doors. That being the case, it looks to us that the city council would be justified inclosing tlie place up. * * THE HEADLESS BANDIT. THE WILD BALSAM APPLE. CUTTLEFISH FARMS. queer Story From the Archive« of the Vlr.u. Courts. It« Seed Holders Are Suggesllie ot Lnee Purse«. Where «he Queer CrMlarea Are Cul tivated to Ue .Milked. In the brooks of autumn In certain places many little lacelike bags may be seen drifting along with the cur- rent or strand««! by the shore. They are the inner coats or bodies of the wild balsam apples lEchinocystls loba- tal which have dropped from the vines overhanging the stream and now float lightly away with their large seeds. The green prickly bag of the balsam apple itself began to form in late sum mer. and by autumn it lias withered and faded to a pale straw color. We may see the trailing vines with their shrunken pods decorating the brook side busbee far into the winter, The outer coat of tbe po«l gradually rots away, and the Inner bag or seed car rier is now released and exposed as a delicate, webby network of tough fillers. A thin skin or membrane Ails up the space between these meshes, but that also falls away through tbe action of water and the winter storm» until only the ball-like tissue of the “pur.«e” is left. These little parses, be ing extremely light and buoyant, float far and wide over the submerge«! swamp lands in late autumn, carry ing the seeds with them an«l so plant ing the vine in new situations. If, how ever, we take these seeds home with tts and plant them there. Mother Earth will suitably reward us In the follow ing year with vines of our own. They will spring up and spread rapidly until all the stone walls anil garden fences are decorated with the tracery of their stems and star shaped leaves. — St. Nicholas. Does any one know that cuttlefish are cultivated on farms to be milked? The e cuttlefish farms are located on the coasts of Great Britain, and the cuttlefish are kept in tanks or ponds to be milked of their ink. Tlie pond or tank is connected with the sea by a pipe, and a thousand or more cutties are kept In a single one. They form a most curious sight as v they move about, trailing their long arms and staring out of their bulging eyes. They are guarded by screens which prevent them from being scared, for it they are suddenly frightened CT they will squirt their milk Into the water, and it would therefore lie lost. This fluid or milk is very valuable, and a cuttie will yield about $3 worth a year. It Is secreted lu a bag which can be opened ami closed at will, the cuttie ejecting the fluid to darken the water so that it may escape unseen ¿7 when attacked. The best cuttlefish are procured in si China, where for some reason or other $ they produce the liest quality of milk. When the farmer considers It oppor tune to milk the cutties lie proceeds by opening the sluices of tlie pond and gently agitating the water. The cut- ties then swim around the pond, and as soon as one passes through the sluice Is closed. The euttle passes down a small channel into a basin or metal receptacle, and as soon as It Is securely there the water is drained off. It is then frightened anti at once squirts the fluid from the bag. When it is exhausted it Is lifted out, the milk Is collected and the basin prepared for another. Dr. Love, a French physician, who greatly inter«*ted himself in tbe ques 1 tion, “What passes In the bead of a I decapitated human being?” related th« following remarkable story, which be stated was taken from tbe archives of I the Vienna courts: It was In the year ---- that Scboenenburg, a well known bandit, and foar of bis associates were caught and condemned to death. They were already on their knees ready to pay'tlie penalty of their bloody deeds by submitting to tlie awful fate of de capitation when Scboenenburg address ed the Judge, asking that bis four com panions might be pardoned on certain conditions. “If,” aske.l tbe bandit, "after I am beheaded I get up and walk to tlie first of my comrades, will you pardon him?” The Judge thought tlint he was pretty safe In complying with the request. "Then,” continue«! Scboenenburg, “if I walk to the sec ond, the third and the fourth, will you pardon them also?" The Judge replied that if such a miraculous feat could be jierformed he would obtain pardons for the other three also. The bandit was now satisfied, and. bending hls head, lie received the fatal blow. In stantly the head rolled down in the sand, but to tne surprise nnd horror of all present the headless trunk arose nnd walked alone. Aimlessly, it ap peared, the body walked around until it passed the first, the second, the third nnd the fourth condemned bandit, when It fell down nnd became motion less. Query, “How cotiltl a headless body think?” GRUB STREET IN NEW YORK. A Gastronomic AiHlsnniest and the Fate of an I-tplc. A story Is told of n poet who came to the metropolis with a completed epic. This found no acceptance, so after cursing the stupidity of the pub lic and the publishers he took to writ ing “Sunday stuff.” Koon the matter of fact attitude of the workers around him. with the pra.'tical view of the market he acquired, led him to doubt the literary value of the work lie-had done In the sentimental atmosphere of hls native place. Frequently a commission to write n column of humor a neok came to hini. and ho cut hls epic Into short lengths, tai-ki-d a squib on each fragment and eventually succeeded In printing It all ns humor at n price ninny times larger than the historic one brought by “Para dise Lost.” •Another newcomer brought unsalable plays and high notions of the austerity of th«1 nrtlstle vocation. Three months after hls arrival he was delighted to get a commission to write the hand book n utilitarian publisher proposed to sell to visitors seeing the metropolis. This commission brought not only a fair payment for the manuscript on de livery, but Involved n vital secondary consideration. The title of the work wns "Where to Eat In New York." nnd Its preparation made It necessary for the author to dine each evening for a month In a different cafe at the proprietor’s exiiense.—Janies IL Col lins In Atlantic. The county went behind $10,000 last year, making the outstanding indebed- ness against the county about $6(1,000. The cause of this is county courts, with a view to making the tax levy as low as possible, have placed it too low every year. Four years more of a deficit like this of Inst year would make an in debtedness of $100,000.

GOLD AND THE SEA. “When the banks ship gold across the Atlantic." said a banker, "they pre fer to ship it In bars rather than In coin. It loses less that way.” "It loses less?’ “Yes, sir. If $1,000,000 in gold coins is shipped across the sea it is only $099,800 on its arrival. It loses from twelve to tlfti'en ounces, about $200, through abrasion, through knocking about with the motion of the waves. Tlie sea makes gold lose weight, you see, the same as it does human beings Gohl bars loiv» less. In tine weather they will only lose about $100 to each million. Iu the ugliest weather they «lou t lose over $150, whereas In like conditions gold coins hive been known to lose $”00. As gold shipments of $10,- 000.000 often occur, to make these ship ments in gold bars instead of gold coin is a saving of $1,00 > or more. It is odd to think when you cross In one of those gold laden ships that every wave that hits the boat dips off 10 to 15 cents from Its golden cargo.”—Philadelphia Bulletin. Cruel, but Nece unary. The Eskimos dread the winter and take early precautions to provide I against famine. As the season ap- proaches the great herds of reindeer migrate southward. and the walrus or tlie seal are all that remain for food. When an in wind Is blowing the wal rus is easily found on the outer edge of the lee packs. When It Is blowing off the shore, however, the Ice packs sail out to sea with the walruses on them. The natives then class their numbers In u list from the strongest to the weakest. The food that Is in store Is divided up. the weakest having the smallest quantity, the strongest the largest. Thus the mightiest hunters have strength to provide for the oth ers. It Is a cruel system, bnt neverthe less a necessary one. If all were weak, all would die; if some are strong, they will save many of the weak. The Larirrat Pipe. It« Complexity, llnrry and Worry Shortening Onr Lives. Not long ago while traveling 1 chanc ed to stop at a village ou the river Rhine, when1 I found an astonishing number of old people. There were a dozen over a hundred years of age and many'from eighty years old up to the century mark, yet straight and vigor ous. One woman nearly a hundred years old was earning her living by picking hops. Her grandchildren were middle aged. It was quite wonderful. But’tliere was no mystery about it. It was merely the effect of a simple life silent largely in the fields, with plain diet, consisting of a few vegetables and fruits, little meat, and native beer and wine for beverages. Nothing can be more obvious thau that the very complexity of our mod ern civilization Is shortening our Ilves. But of all tha evils that afflict us the worst and most destructive are hurry ami worry. Hurry drives the body ma chine beyond Its capacity, while worry rucks it inwardly. Of the two worry is probably the worse. This might in deed lie called the age of worry. Be cause of the intense nervous strain to which we are subjected we do vastly more worrying than did our forbears. The average man of today is continual ly surrounded and pursued by phantom troubles, which, though few of them ever materialize Into realities, haunt him continually, ruining hls peace of mind aud injurlpg his health.—Reader Magazine. He Cheapened Pens. The Norman English laws enacted that a leper had neither power to sue In any court nor to Inherit property.
