Thursday by Deputy Sheriff Harry
Minto for sticking his hands in other
peoples' pockets, was released this
morning, after he promised to "beat
t" out of town. Ho is the oldest pock
et picker that either Sheriff Esch or
Deputy Minto have ever had occasion
to take in custody. Dunn is 70 years
old, and ho is said to be a clever man at
the trade, despite his extreme age for
such work. When Deputy Minto appre
hended Dunn, the old man had his
lands in the pocket of a waiting pas
senger at tho Oregon Electric station,
.and was doing some tall digging for a
pioco of change.

J For the reason she did not under

with larceny by bailee, was not com
pelled to plead in Justice Webster's
j court this morning when arraigned.
Miss Trierchley is accused of the

Knew notning oi tne law, and did not
want to proceed with her case until her
mother in Oregon City was notified.
The judge ordered that she be confined
in jail until such time as her parent
could be notified.
As the result of Sheriff Esch and his
force keeping a ctose lookout for the
slick-fingered parties, and the police in
the city following the same example,
but one holdup and an attempted pick
pocket case was recorded last week. The
holdup was not reported to the author
ities, and the pickpocket was arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Minto. This is the
finest record the officers have ever
made during the 52 years the state fair
has been in existence, and it is one that
the authorities may well boast of.

"HE GOT HIS PRICE.
In Pact He Had to Have It and Far a
Very Good Reason.
Tody Hamilton had an experience
with an editor of a weekly paper in
Michigan when be was general press
representative with the Barnuin &
Bailey show that gave blm a new view
of finance.
The big show was billed to appear
at Owosso, Mich., and the contract
agent with the No. 1 advertising car
bad failed to come to terms with the
editor of a weekly at a little junction
point twenty miles distant Hamilton
went to the little town, sought out tbe
editor and prepared copy for a double
column advertisement
"I'll give you $10 and twenty tickets
for two weeks' service In your paper,
two columns, mostly cuts," said Ham
ilton to the editor.
"Oh, no, you won'tl You'll give me
$63 or the advertisement won't go."
replied the editor coolly.
."Sixty-three dollars! Great Scott!"
roared Hamilton. "That's more than
your Infernal paper Is worth. I never
give more than $10 and twenty tickets
for our stuff In any country weekly.
Man, you're crazy, stark mad!"
All efforts at persuasion failed. Tbe
editor remained obdurate. It was $G3
or nothing. Finally In despair Hamil
ton exclaimed:
"Why do you make It $03? You
might as well make It $103. It's just
as unreasonable."
"I'll tell you, friend," replied the edi
tor calmly. "I have a note coming
due shortly for just tbnt amount, and
you have got to pay It"
inrmllton did. for be needed the ad
vertising In thnt particular weekly, and
the editor knew It New York Sun.
PLAGIARISM.
Only Crime Whan One Filches From
the Commonplace.
Plagiarize all you please, provided
you steal from tbe right sources, for
the secret of Individuality is familiar
ity with the masters. Tbe great gen
iuses were meant to be objects of
plagiarism. To be plain, the more you
absorb of a first class mind the more
your own originality Is fed. Plagia
rism is only a crime when it is a
theft of commonplaces from mediocre
sources.
Let tbe young musician soak full of
Beethoven. Wagner, Mozart and Men
delssohn. That Is the surest way for
blm to find himself. To absorb comic
opera music Is tbe way to smotber,
lose and kill himself.
Let the young preacher preach Bush
noil, Robertson and Brooks. So doing,
he will come to preaching blmself.
As for writers, there 1b truth In tbe
advice given by a great man that the
best way to acquire a good style Is to
read Addison and exercise oneself In
endeavoring to rewrite blm.
You cannot plagiarize the Bible, nor
Shakespeare, nor Homer, nor Dante,
nor Milton. These have ceased to be
meu: they are humanity. You can
plagiarize Shaw, or Brete Harte, or tbe
last "best seller.
To (solute oneself from the mas
ters Is not the road to originality; It
Is the road to vulgarity.

Prohiitorio Man In Belgium,
Prehistoric man bas been traced In
several periods In Belgium, and M.
Putot, a Belgian geogoglut, has made
a novel attempt to estimate the popu
lation nt different stages. In the lower
Aurlgnucluu period live of Belgium's
numerous caves seem to have been In
habited, their capacity being fifty to
sixty persons. In tbe Magdalenean
period tho population was probably
sixty. Retreat of the Ice permitted
leaving the shelters, at tbe close of
this period, and the Bottlers on the
bunks of the lakes may soon have
numbered 100 or 130. The coming of
the Cervldes forests perhaps developed
a population of 1.000, wblcb may have
Increased to 4,000 or 5,000 at the be

New York PreBa,
Whist
Whist undoubtedly Is derived from
the old game of trumps, which has a
purely English lineage. There is no
record of the origin of this game nor
of Its development Into ruff and hon
ors, which was the parent of whist
Tho earliest reference to It Is believed
to be In a sermon of Latimer about
the year l.r)29. Tbe name probably is
derived from the "hlBt" or "sllenco"
which close attention to play demands
of the players.

HIDES MONEY WHILE ASLEEP
AND THINKS HE IS ROBBED
Pierce Walker, a stroot car conduc
tor, is still being joshed by other em
ployes as a result of the temporary loss
of i36 belonging to the company. He
had collected that amount on his car,
and was unable to turn it in when he
finished his run. He stayed at the car
barns, as did many other conductors
during the fair week rush, and when he
arose from his bunk could find nothing
of his monoy sack. He reported his
loss to the company, and was informed
that he would have to make good the
amount. Although convinced ho had
been robbed, Walker returned to the
car barns and again searched for the
cash. He found the money stuffed in
his mattress, where he evidently placed
it some time during the night, when he
was too sleepy to know what he was
doing.

ANAMENDEDGOMP LIT r j
IN PRISON FUND ii
The attorney-general is irenarinir an
amended complaint in the suit brought
by the state against Governor West.
Secretary of State Olcott and State
Treasurer Kay, on account of alleged
unlawful use of money received from
the so-called prison revolvine fund.
There is no claim that the money was
not well spent, or that it was usei for
any purpose other than needed state
work. The only question involved is
whother the law was complied with in
the expending of the money. Judge
Kelly held kwt week when the" case
came up, that no allegation of damage
had been made and that this was fatal
to the complaint The amended com
plaint is to covor this point. It will be
up to the state in the trial of the case
to prove that the state has been dam
aged, and this it will probably be tiret-
ty hard to do, as tho state has benefit
ed by the expenditure of the money
rather than damaged thereby.
