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.

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.

the Vlr.u. Courts.
It« Seed Holders Are Suggesllie ot

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.

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 county went behind $10,000 last

The cause of this is county courts, with
a view to making the tax levy as low

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.

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

troubles, which, though few of them
