Then th* Wounded Man Rebelled and Had lorn« Comfort. Curious Form of Punishment of tha Daya of Long Ago. It Was a Lasting Lesson and Killed Hie Taste For Sugar. Captain B. C. Hucks, the famous air man, during a lecture on three years' flying progress at the Royal Society of Arts de.- :!bed a thrilling adventure iu a dense cloud. He was explaining thy need for some instrument which will Show an all man up In the clouds that he Is flying on a level keel. “I set out on a very cloudy, windy day to do a test climb to 10.000 feet on a late type two seater. On reaching 1,200 feet we got into a dense rain cloud, but carried on to beyond 0.000 feet, still in the cloud, when the com pass apparently began to swing (really it is the machine that tiegin» swinging, not the compass), and efforts to check the compass had the effect of causing it to swing more violently in the other direction. “The air speed then rushed up far lie- yond normal flying speed. All efforts to pull her up checked her only slight ly. Then the rudder was tried; back weut the air speed to zero. There was an unusual, uncanny feeling of being detached from the machine, and I knew her to lie literally tumbling about in the clouds. All efforts to settle down ■gain to a straight flight seemed to l>e unavailing until we emerged from the cloud very nearly upside down. As suming control again was then an easy matter."—London Mail. Ther» was no Bed Cross In the old days, and women nurses were not ad mitted to the field hospitals, but wo men were frequent visitors to the sta tionary army hospitals In the cities, bringing food delicacies and always anxious to assist in relieving the suf ferings of their sick or wounded heroes. James Morris Morgan in bis reminis cences of the “Lost Cause" relates a story incident to bis visit to a Rich mond war hospital to see bls friend, Captalu F. W. Dawson, who was very seriously wounded. The day was hot, and be found bls friend lying on a cot near the open front door so week that be could not speak above a whisper The poor fellow whispered in his ear. “Jimmie, for mercy's sake make them move my cot to the back of the build ing." Morgan assured him that he had been placed in the choicest place In the hos pital, so that he could get any little air that might lie stirring, but be still in sisted that be wanted to tie moved, giv ing as a reason that every lady who en- tered the place washed bis face and fed him with meat Jelly. The result was that bis face felt sore and he was stuffed so full of Jelly that he was most uncomfortable. As be was so weak that he could not defend himself, the women would not listen to bls protests. At Morris' request the head surgeon pinned a notice on Dawson's sheet to this effect: “This man must be washed and fed only by the regular nurses.” We du not nowadays exhibit esged offenders to the gaze of a curloua pub lic, but such a form of punishment was at one time more or less common.

Catherine II. of Russia had her wig dresser confined to a cage because the bigwigs at court complained that the tonsorial gentleman hid big ears, and Edward I. of England caused the Coun tess of Buchan and the stater of Robert Bruce to be locked up in two large Iron cages, which were hung on to the tur ret of the castle of Berwick, In 1306.

No man can accomi>llsh any great thiug without making enemies. It is said a man may lie "known by the ene mies he makes.” Observe the kind of enemies one makes and their reasons for enmity. The man who makes no enemies Is comparatively worthless. The Bible says, "Woe unto you when all men shall speak well of you.” It 1» not necessary to court enemies, but if you encounter hostility in the course of piursulng your way honestly and with your best judgment do not allow it to disturb you. He who lias no enemies Is not likely to have real friends. If you would measure a man's worth, observe his enemies. Of what character are they? What are their reasons for being at enmity? While the wise man should be undaunted by bls enemy, neither should he be un mindful of him Reconcile your enemy, if possible, but never fawn on him or cringe to him. in the hope of making him a friend.

The quezal of Guatemala Is consider ed the most beautiful bird In tlie world Its plumage vies with the rainbow and shines with a metallic luster. Until within the last few years It was un known to science, mainly owing to the fact that it is a hermit among the feath ered creatures, delighting In the silence of high altitudes. It dwells on moun tain heights above 7,000 feet In eleva tion. The quezal was the royal bird of the Aztecs, and Its pinnies were used to decorate the headdresses and cloaks of the kings of thnt laud. Its breast Is a brilliant scarlet, while its green tall attains a length of three feet. It Is about the elze of the common pigeon. It nests In holes In rotten trees, which It enlarges with its bill, so as to make a roomy and comfortable residence. The young are hatched totally devoid «if feathers. Impromptu Replies.

All of these naturally wish to keep in close touch with ag ricultural activities throughout the state; and to know about any fight which is being waged for the measures Oregon farmers want and against all sorts of schemes that are detrimental to the people and agricultural interests of this state. A We have, therefore, made a special clubbing arrangement with THE OREGON FAR MER whereby any farmer or fruitgrower, who is one of our regular subscribers and who is not now a subscriber to THE OREGON FARMER, will be entitled to receive THE OREGON FARMER in combination with this paper at the same rate as for this paper alone. This offer applies to all those who renew or extend their subscriptions as well as to all new subscribers. If you are interested di rectly or indirectly in Oregon agriculture, do not miss this unusual or portunity, but send your order in now. DAYLIGHT AT MIDNIGHT, And Also Bassball Gama» snd 8hootlng Matches In Alaska- Two events of annual occurrence In Alaska are the shoot of the various territorial gun clubs at Seward and the midnight baseball game at Fairbanks. Jane 22 being the longest day In the year, there is no hour of the entire twenty-four when a newspaper cannot be easily read out of doors, and In con sequence dealers in artificial light and lighting supplies have no business but to dream of the coming winter months, when people light lamps at 2 o’clock in the afternoon and keep them going In the forenoon until 10 o’clock or later. Eight o’clock hi the evening is the hour at which the ball games usually begin, but so far as adequate light Is concerned 12 o’clock midnight would do equally as well. The Seward 12 o'clock midnight shoot ing tournament Is invariably attended by all sportsmen from the United States who chance to lie visiting near there at the time, and the participation of such gentlemen la frequently a source of chagrin to themselves and of amuse ment to the initiated, as the shooting records of eveu the crack shots take a sad slump at these events. This Is due to the peculiar light, with which visi tors are naturally not fnuilllar. As Alaskan sportsmen do much of their summer shooting after 6 o'clock tn the evening and are used to these condi tions, there Is little variation In their marksmanship whatever the hour.— New York World. THE OREGON FARMER is the one farm paper which is devoting itself exclusively to the farming activities ai d interests of Oregon. It has a big organization gath- ering the news of importance to farmers, dairymen, fruitgrowers, sti ck raisers and poultrymen; and it has the backbone to at tack wrongful methods and combinations and bad legislation, and support honest leaders and beneficial measures. We are confident that our readers will congratulate us on our being able to make this splendid and at tractive clubbing offer.

Congratulations made General Wil liam Crozier a soldier. He was a boy at the time in Kansas, whither his family had moved from Ohio, and hoped to be a lawyer. David P. Lowe was the member of congress from bls district. Lowe, meet ing Judge Robert Crozier In the street, said: "I have decided to appoint your son, William, to the Military academy at West Point.” The judge, having gone home for din ner, told tlie news. "But I don't want to be a soldier," William protested. Word of Congressman Lowe’s lnten tlon having spread through the town, all of the inhabitants, including the maidens, hastened to Inform William how pleased they were over his good fortune. Old men said they knew that he would be a credit to the community. Physicians, lawyers and ministers praised his manly bearing and studious habits. And so William Crozier, listening in silence, which was interpreted as mod esty, gradually passed from reluctance to eagerness and entered West Point with a high pitch of enthusiasm. General Crozier is a chemist, engi neer, metallurgist and manufacturer, and the disappearing gun carriage he Invented is used in the fortifications that guard the coasts of the two oceans.—Boston Globe.

Standard Oil Company (California) STAR GARAGE TILLAMOOK GARAGE A Lesson John Ruskin Learned In Hi« Early Childhood. Iu the matter of discipline John Rus kin’s mother was a Spencerian before Spencer. “Let your penalties.” says that austere philosopher, "be like the penalties inflicted by inanimate nature. Inevitable. The hot cinder burns a child the first time he seizes it. It burns him the second time. It burns him every time, and he very soon learns not to touch the hot cinder.” That was Mrs. Ruskin’s method. Toll lustrate her way of teaching lessons. Ruskin used to tell the following Inci dent of his early childhood, which big. mother was fond of relating. "One evening, when I was yet In my nurse’s arms.
