The citizens of Aberdeen woke last
Saturday morning to find that in the 81
lent watches of the night John Wing had
winged his flight to other and more con-
genial climes, taking with him the entire
flock of yellow birds. The exodus was
complete, and there is not now queue
left to tell the tale. 1t is said that Wing
tried to set fire to his old shack where he
had laundry, nailed up the doors. put
the Chinese sign of the Evil One on the
outside, and in his haste left much dirty
linen behind.

The vote in Chehalis county this year
showed little change as compared with
that of last year. What small change
there is is in favor of the democrats. Last
wear Wilson received 897 votes and Griff-
it'll 612, or proportion Of democrat to
every 1.465 republicans. This year Will
son received 1ll7 votes and Carroll IA,
or proportion of democrat to every
l.456 republicans. A gain of .009 of re-
publican isn't much to brag about, but it
is gradual conversion.

THE MASTER BUILDER,

The Truth is a builder that buildeth slow,
Yet builds exceedingly strong
Each seeming, inconseqEent trivial part
Is triad with the test oil a masters art;
With the delicate touch of an artists hand
The lghtest and tiniest grain of sand
Is arranged in its place in that edifice grand
Whose architect never goes wrong.
The Truth is a builder that few may know,
The work is so wondrously still:
Noiselessly, ceaselessly delving the earth,
Seieetlng, inspecting each object of worth.
Exploring the depths of the sea and the all
Or the realms of the infinite everywhere.
Treasure of vaine beyond compare.
Is gathered with consumate skill.
The Truth is builder that buildetf SLOW
Yet the edIfice stands for ave:
When giltterlng records of warriors deeds,
Bewildering rules of philosophers creeis,
The dogmas of schools and political schemes
Fanatieal follies. enthusiasts dreams.
And all OF the rubbish with which the world
teens,
As stubble has vanished away.
The Truth is a builder that few may know
And yet all the world may see;
For tribute is levied at every ones door,
The weak and the humble each add to tbs
store.
And in that great future how great the sur.
prise
II We, as the shadows escape from our eyes
FIND the simple have often done more than
the wise.
In building that home for the free.

Came Back For Revenge.

Kansas City Star: One day while
proceeding up a canon in the Ration
Mountains large si1ver-tip bear
and her cub leaped out and made a
rush up the sloping side ofthe valley.
There were three in our party, and
every Winchester began to talk very
earnestly and e1citedly. The cub
tumbled dead the first fire. / call
him cnb, but the truth is he was
more than half as big as his mother,
and weighed $40 pounds. The old
lady did not show any injury, and
the moment the young one tumbled
she turned and came back square in
the teeth of the rifles, and, Selling her
dead cub in her teeth as a cat does
q kitten, raised it fairly clear of the
ground and cantered up the hiIl-no
easy matter. as, aside from the 24O
pounds oflimp and dragging weight,
she had to force her anxious, loving
way through oak brush, which in
many Instances, might have detain-
ed a steer. She got fairly away,
albeit We fired several shots after the
cub fell.
We had just reloaded the maya
zines OF our Winchesters and were COM
muning as to taking the trail of the
old bear, which showed wide and
clear in broken bushes and disturbed
oak leaves and pine needles, when
looking up we beheld our game COM
ing straight back for US. She meant
business, too. Her red and stream
ing tongue lolled out Of her half
open mouth. and her eyes partially
closed in rage, would have seemed
quizzical in expression were it not
for the ferocity which leaped and
flashed in their depths like sheet
lightning behind some cloud screen.
She came straight to US, and we set
tied her troubles at the first fire.
We found the cub up on the divide,
She had carried it atleast sixt rods.
with two bullet holes in her shaggy
hide as we found when we skinned her.

Timber 1000 Years Old,

Probably the Oldest timber in the
world which has been subjected to
the use of man is found in the ancient
temple of Egypt, in connection with
stone.Work which is known to be at
least four thousand years old. This
was the only wood used in the con-
truction of the temple, and is in the
form of ties, holding the end of one
stone to another. When two blocks
were laid in place an excavation
about an inch deep was made ineach
block in which one of these wooden
ties, shaped ike an hour-glass, was
driven. 1t is, therefore, very diff
cult to force a stone from its posi-
ton. These ancient ties are made of
timarisk or shittim wood, the same
as that from which the ark was con-
structed. Louis Republic.
