How Women Bet on Horses.

Mademoiselle has got to the club
house stand; she Is with II party of
women and men--a chair has been
found for her, and she is eagerly
scanning her program. First she
takes her pencil and puts mark
against number thirteen, for she in
tends To put some money on that
horse no matter who he may be.
After that she turns to her mother
and inquiries the year In which she
was born, and selecting the last fig
ure of that puts 50 on it-then,
having satisfied the superstitious
side of her oharater, she goes in for
business. She picks out her horse
for the great race; curiously enough
he If not the favoritc. The purse is
opened, the money counted out,
and she IL ready for all to go down
10 the book-nakers. But no gallants
to carry II for my lady, If you please.
Up comes messenger boy No. l3;
decidedly freckled, decidedly Grim
son of hair; also decidedly tough
and slangy In manner and speech,
but No. IL knows his customers;
knows If they win they tip him far
away, and So he always can get bet
ter odds than anybody else, and oc-
casionally has tip worth taking,
No. IL does not want the money put
on the horse chosen for the great
race. lie suggests that II shall go to
the out slider who is paying 30 10 |,
and 81, against all advices, she takes
the chances.

MITCnELI, DOLPH, HERMANN

The CAPITAL JOURNAL takes
this time to refer to the representa-
tives of Oregon, who have so long
and well served the state and the
interests of the people in the coun-
ellis of the nation at Washington.
They are now enjoying their vaca-
ton, not In llst'ess idleness but
in examining, by personal OBJ
servation, the wants, wishes and
needs of the various localities Of the
state. And to this purpose are VISIT
ing all places Of prominence in the
state and are consulting the leading
citizens of each locality so they may
he the better posted and more ably,
IL possible, fulfill their onerous duties
as the states advocates. 1t has
been well, and truly said that nc
state has nbler workers, or men more
devoted {, the interests of their con.
stituents. Hon. John ii. Mitchell
has served one full term as u. 5.
senator and il now in his fourth
year on the second term, making
ten years OF experience In those
halls "here every year adds greatly
to the influence of the member and
makes old timers invincible.
No senator in thesenatorial cham
ber has a greater influence over the
members or Is listened to with n
greater interest than Senator
Mitchell. He Is said to be as popu.
lar II man with all the members of the
two houses as he Is with the people
of Oregon. This Is saying much In
his favor--in all probability more
than can be said of ony other mem
ber.
Hon. j. n. Dolph, having com
pleted his tour of the state, has re-
turned to the east, and like the war
rlors of old refuses to lay his armor
aside until all his work Is done. He
IN engaged on committee work that
will take most of his time until the
re-assembling of congress. He IL on
his second term.
Hon. Binger Hermann, the peo'
ple's favorltc congressman, knows
no rest, while there IL work to do,
and II that Is finished he does not
wait, Macauber like, for something
to "turn up" but finds something
that needs correcting and turns II
up. He IL now circulating among
his friends gathering information,
and making himself II possible,
more popular than ever before, with
the people of Oregon. Mr.. Hermann
has succeeded himself two terms and
will, In MI probability, continue 81
To do until promotion shall be his.
The same might MS well be said OF
Senators Dolph and Mitchell, ana II
will require an extra amount Of wire
pulling by the politicians to induce
the people to let these favorites go.

A huge sun spot, comparable In
magnitude with some of the great
spots seen five or six years ago
Is now visible on the solar disk. A
good eye should be able to see ii
with the aid of smoked glass. 1t
IL fully three diameters of the earth
across, and somewhat irregular in
outline. Along the edges of the
dark central chasm the familiar
tongue-shaped projections of pho
tosphelic flame can he seen. The
whole aspect of the spot is such as
to remind the observer that the
mSyterious commotlon which effects
the surface of the solar globe,
reaching IA maXium once in every
eleven years, Is about to manifest
itself again after several years of
comparative repose. IL will be in
teresting to notice how much infor-
nation we shall be able to gather
during the coming sun-spot period
upon the vexed question of the
connection between sun spots and
the weather. The theory that there
is most intimate relation of that
kind has received enthusiastic sup
port In some quarters since the Sun
called general attention, nine or ten
years ago, TO the grounds upon
which il was based. But the high
est authorities In astronoy meteorol-
ogy have not vet accepted the hy-
pothesis as proved, except so far as
the undoubted connection between
solar disturbances and terrestrial
magnetism IL concerned. New

The Death of the Churn.

A woman of West Nyack has
made discovery which, if it can be
put in successful operation, will re-
suit i'm the abolition of the old
method of churning, and revolu-
tiOnize the art of butter making.
The discovery was purely accidental,
and the discoverer, who has expert
mented with her new method many
times, believes in it thoroughly.
She put the cream of several days
milkings from her pet Jersey COW in
a thick cloth one day, and, as it was
too warm to churn, placed the bag
in the ground in cool place, throw
ing a shovelful of earth over it so
that the cat could. not get at it. She
left il there until she came home the
next day. When she took the bag
from the ground she found the cream
had turned to "A great yellow lump
of butter, and the only thing left for
her to do was to salt and work it.
The butternilk had entirely disap-
peared, but there was about third
more than the usual amount of but
ter obtained by churning. She has
tried the experiment dozen times
since, and always obtained better
butter than by churning. The only
exception was one time when the
rain soaked into the ground and
mildewed the cream. 49, Albany

Chickens With Four Legs.

Mr.. Witt of Winston sends the
Eagle chicken with four legs. 1t
is not for sale at any price. 1t has
always been a notion of ours that
the only error IN creation was in
giving chickens only two legs. We
wouldn't give cent for anypart of
chicken except the leg. If we
can produce a race of chickens with
four or five legs then we don't see
what more is to be desired.-Estill

The Cautious Public,

A shoemaker on Grand River
avenue painted his door the other
day and hung out sign Of Paint"
Pretty soon "a man came along and
opened the door and asked:
What sort of paine, and how do
you sell it?'
"It's paint on the door, was the
reply.
ooh, that's it. Better change your
sign, then"
The shoemaker took in the sign
and hung up one reading: "Paint on
the door," He had scarcely done so
when IL second man accosted him
with:
"Is that all? Why didn't you paint
the castings, too? Looks mighty
stingy, and I'd change that sign"
The shoemaker reflected for awhile
and then made II new sign reading:
"Look out for paint" 1t wasn't II
quarter of an hour before a farmer
came in with an old boot to mend,
and as he rubbed his shoulder against
the door he Indignantly exclaimed:
GLOW did | know where to look
out for this Internal nuisance?"
The man went out and removed
the sign and tore it up, and as he re-
turned to the bench he said:
"That's what fellow gets for try
ing to satisfy the public. Now let
the door take care of itself. f."-Detroit

Lucky People.

When it was stated here that Will
liam and W. P. Fawcett held ticket
No. G3, SjG which last month drew the
first capital prize of 100000 in the
louisiana State lottery and had re-
ceived their money-$15,0 00-a great
many persons thought it was a Joke.
The Times Journal man, wishing to
know the truth of the matter, saw the
parties and was assured that the re-
port was correct. They received the
money last Friday week by draft,
which was paid by the bank Of Camp
bellsville at this place. They have
for several months been buying one
or two twentieth tickets in this lot
terry. They stated to US that they
had always drawn enough money to
pay for their tickets up to the time OF
drawing the capital prize.
w. P. Fawcett left last Monday
for the west, where he is to visit his
brother and enjoy part of the for
tune which came into his hands so
easily, $4,000 is no small amount.
It is certainly large amount for a
dollar. 1t will be remembered that
some time ago Mr.. Sam Frank
Spencer, of our neighborins town,
Greensburg, drew S15, 900 in the Louis
lana State lottery and that several
times the adjoining county Of Marion
has been lucky, in holding tickets
drawing from $500, to SIS, 00C-Camp-

Hearing that $4,000 had been
drawn by some one in this county in
the last drawing of the Louisiana
State lottery and that the money had
been paid and was deposited in the
Columbia Banking company, a. Her
aid reporter called on Mr.. Lucius
Frierson, the cashier of the above
named bank, and learned that Mr.. T.
H. Neeley. of Bigbyville, a village
ten or twelve miles from here, was the
lucky man. Mr.. Neeley held one
twentieth of ticket No. 63,S56, which
drew the first capital prize of $500, 600

week with the Columbia Banking

the same through their New Orleans

Cabell and others represented the ac-
cused. Craig was not ready for trial

clined 10 give them. The district at
torney was appealed 70 and ne said
