the honor ou one occasion of befriend­

of the Royal German artillery. This
was in Loudon, where they were both
strangers and both happened to be
stopping at the name hotel. The Ger­

Bishop Knox once explained that
“Mr. McKenna’s sword was an over
loaded pistol which, being hung up in
a tight corner lest It should burst, pre­
tended to Tie dead until It got up and
trotted home on the friendly back of
tile bishop of St. Asaph." But It is in
political debate, especially in the house
of commons, that the mixed metaphor
flourishes most luxuriantly. “The flood
gates of frrcllglon and Intemperance
are stalking arm In arm throughout
the land." “This bill effects such a
change that the last leap in the dark
was a mere flea bite.” “That Is the
marrow of the educational act. and it
will uot be taken out by Dr. Clifford or
anybody else. It is founded on a gran

"What makes this vegetable soup
taste so different?" asked the young

“Only the leeks you sent home,” re­
plied Ihe bride. "You remember you
said you were going to order leeks.”
“I didn't order any leeks,” growled
the husband, but he finished his bowl
of soup rather thau disappoint her.
That afternoon he stopped at the
grocery store.
"How did you come to send leeks up
to my house this morning?” he de­
manded. "I didn't order them."
"Great Scott! Did you eat them?”
exclaimed the grocer.

A Queer Practice.
A queer practice which is general
throughout all the tribes of Australia
is the ribbing of the skin. When the
children are still young Ibng cuts are
made across the chest, down the up-
per arm and leg and even across tbe
back and ribs, While the wound is
quite fresh the cut is opened and a
mixture of mud is grafted tn. the
skin being pulled as far as possible
over It. The skin eventually grows
completely round the mud filling and
forms ridges varying in length and size
from an ordinary lead pencil to the
thickness of a man's little finger and
extending from armpit to armpit. 1

Here is an unorthodox story of King

sent for the boaster. "How dare you?"
he thundered. The butterfly groveled.

pleaded. The great monarch was In­

HKPPXEK.Gr., July 13.—At 3:30 this
alter noo« a cloudliuist brought water in
torrents from the hill« about town, driv­
ing Willow creek out of its banka and
threatening for a time a repetition of the
disaster ot June 14, 1903.
Bridges ut the upper end of town were
carried aw ay, sidewalksand fences awe) t
down the streets, and many houses tilled
with two or three feet of water, the re­
ceding flood leaving behind a trail of
mud and debris. Several houses were
partially wrecked.
In a few instances people living in the
path of the water hud to be carried to
places ol safetv, but the greater part of
the population, remembering the ex­
perience ol a lew years ago, fled to the
hills as soon as the storm assumed dan­
gerous proportions.
’lh>- electric power station wasquicklv
pui out of business, aud the city is iu
darkness tonight.
No Ines were lost, and it is not believ­
ed that damage to crops will be serious.
For several day» the weather has been
excersivelv »arm, with an unusual
amount ol humidity in the atmosphere.
Atmospheric conditions were very similar
to.those which proceeded the great flood
of 1903, and this afternoon when dark
clouds began to gather to tbe south of
town, preparations were made by many
to seek saletv in the hills.
Kain began tailing about 3;30, and in
a few minutes was coming down from
the clouds in sheets. Dry Creek Canyon
was quickly converted into a raging
torrent. Willow Creek, which flows
through the center ot town, filled rapidly
and soon began to overflow into the
streets and roads. Debris carried from
the hillsides c ollected above several
bridges spanning the creek, and they
were swept away.
Ihe flood struck the upper end of town
and completely inundated C street, strik­
ing the hoineol fudge Ayers, and filling
the first floor with two feet of mud and
water Houses in the path of the deluge
were carried from their foundations ar.d
as many as 20 houses were considerably
damaged by the muddy water which
filled them.
Garuens and lawns were destroyed
by the mud and rubbish which the
flood carried into the yards. Damage
to carpets and furniture in the houses
which stood in the path of the flood
will be considerable.
Lexington reports some damage to
the railroad track between that city
and Heppner, but the extent of injur­
ies is not yet known. No loss of stock
is reported from the lower river pointe.
Those who experienced the flood a
few years ago say to day ’s storm had
the same appearance for awhile. In
fact, many people have been looking
for it since Saturday night, the weather
being warm and sultry.
The water in the creek is going
down now, and further trouble is not
expected unless more rain should come.
The weather is still cloudy and threat­
ening.
