A Spelling Match,

Our young readers who are interest
ed in "puzzles'' will like to try their
photographed powers ON the follow
ing. 1t contains as many words diff
t1cult to spell as it is possible to put
IN given space. Let some one read
1T to the company, each member OF
which is to write it down, and then
let the papers be examined for errors,
and the prize (ofcourse there ought to
be prize) given to the best speller:
The most skillful gauger ever knew
was a maligned cobbler, armed with a
poniard, who drove apeddler's wagon,
using a mullen stalk as an instrument
ofcoercion to tyrannize over his pony
shod with calks. He was a Galilean
Sadducee, and he had a phthisicky
catarrh, diphtheria and the bilious
intermittent erysipelas. A certain
Slbyl, with the sobriquet of "Gypsy,"
went into ecstacies of cachinnation at
seeing him measure q bushel OF peas,
and separate saccharined tomatoes
from a heap OF peeled potatoes, with
out dyeing or singeing the ignitible
queue which he wore, or becoming
paralyzed with a hemorrhage. Lift
ing her eyes to the ceiling Of the cupola
of the Capitol to conceal her unparal-
leled embarrassment, making a rough
courtesy, and not harassing him with
mystifying, rarefying and Supplying
innuendoes, she gave him q couch, a
boqpet OF lilies, mignonette and fuchs
las, a treatise on mnemonics, q copy of
theApocrypha in hieroglyphics, daguer-

Prayed Collars and Cuffs.

Worn linen is a most deceptive
addend in the sum total OF apparel.
A pair OF old cuffs will look SO bewitch-
ingly respectable after a visit to a
good laundry that you will take
them up with thankful tenderness
and adjust them while a look of be-
nightly wanders all over them.
Didn't know I ever could wear
them again" you say, and you feel so
satisfied at having counted one against
that dreadful opponent, the Tragedy
man. OF course you have feltjust so,
and just as surely as you have
glanced down soon after and found
your wrists encircled by a pair Of
solled and shaggy cuffs. A little rub
here and a little rub there. a few
grains OF dust from mother earth and
a benediction from a raindrop and
your cuffs have gone back whence
they came from outside the pale of
responsibility. Next time YOU treat
those cuffs as exposed falsifiers, but
some tine daywhen aspasm ofeconomy
IS contracting the muscles which open
your purse you'll get caught again.

A young lady OF sixteen, who had
been piously brought up, was invited
to a party at which certain persons OF
undisguised infdel sentiments were
expected to be present. Her father
objected to her going.
Il know, papa" she said ''they
speak against the Bible and against
Jesus; but you can be quite sure they
will do me no harm. I can't help
that: but shall not allow them to
affect me in the least.''
"My child" said her father, invent
ing an excuse for the sudden request,
"my work can't be interrupted; I
have need of a coal; will you be kind
enough to fetch me one?"
"Do you want a live coal, papa?"
"No-one that is dead-burned out"
The coal was brought. The young
lady had brought it in her hand.
didn't it burn you, my child?"
asked the father. ..
why, no, papa-how could it? It's

First Listener to Jenny Llnd's Sing
mo =

"Jenny Lind" to use the name by
which she became famous all the
world over-was born ofpoor parents
at Stockholm in 1920, and at three
years OF age first betrayed her musical
aptitude by picking out on the keys OF
q piano q military fanfare which had
attracted her attention us some soldi-
ers marched along the street. The
first listener to her singing was the
domestic cat, to which she sang when
she believed herself to be alone. and it
was the oyerhearing of this singing
that suggested the idea OF her being
educated Tor the musical stage.

More work for the Clothes Cleaner.
To be pitched off horse in the streets
of The Dalles at this particular time is
safe enough but somewhat unpleasant.
There are few places where the mud is
30 deep that a man of ordinary stature
and activity cannot get his head above it
by standing on. his tip toes. Mr.. Loch-
head of the Columbia feed yard knows
this to be fact, and that is why we
mention it. That gentleman was riding
a spirited animal yesterday when it gave
a sudden plunge and landed its fore feet
in. a hole with its hind quarters in the
air. At that particular time Mr.. Loch-
head concluded he would dismount and
as he was in considerable of hurry he
slid over the horses ears on his belly.
The rest is soon told. An expert clothes
cleaner can find a steady job at the
Lochhead mansion for the next week.

When customer wants a nickel cigar
he comes in and deposits his nickel on
the box and takes out cigar, lights it
and leaves the store without disturbing

that none of the imported stock that
sell for fifteen cents straight up to a dol

DRAGGED TO Death. !.

Sandy Finlayson, wellknown sheep
man of Crook county, and wellknown in
this city, is dead. Last Monday morn
ing he left Prineville on the way to his
ranch, driving span of horses hitched
to farm wagon. When about ten
miles from Prineville the team got
frightened and ran away. Sandy was
pitched out of the wagon but unfortu-
nately he fell between one of the hind
belly across the break bar where he was
held fast SO as to lock the wheel. In
this way he was dragged to death. He
was buried the following day. Sandy
was a hard drinker. He arrived in
Prineville on Saturday the 18th and soon
got filled up. But friends, of whom he
had many, got him sobered, and by
Monday morning when he left Prineville
he had no appearance of being under the
influence of liquor. Whether he got any
on the way or carried off any concealed
is not known. Sandy Finlayson was
born in Scotland and is supposed to
have been about 30 years DID, At one
time he had considerable property but
in the winter of 1889 he lost over 5000
head of sheep which practically cleaned
him out of the business till few days
ago when he bought band which had
not been delivered at the time of his
DEATH He had still left, a fine ranch in
Crook county, known as the old Col.
Nye ranch, said to be worth in the
neighborhood of $4,000. Those who
knew him speak of him as having been
strictly honorable man, generous and
open-hearted to fault. His worst foe
was himself. He was sadly addicted to
drink and to it directly or indirectly his
death may be traced. 1t is said he has
sister living in Portland.
PITCHED in the Mud.
The other day Mrs. Judd Fish rolled
her baby carriage in front Of MacEach-
ern & MacLeod's store and left it and
her baby there while she entered the
1t is well known that the sidewalk in
front of the. store slopes towards the
west. By some mishap the carriage
started to roll down the incline taking
slanting course towards the street. As
soon as the front wheel went over the
edge of the sidewalk the carriage tipped
and pitched the baby out into the mud;
which at that particular place cannot be
much less than six inches deep, and is
of the consistency of thin Cruel. The
rest can be imagined. 1t was done so
quickly that neither the mother nor any
one else had time TO stop the carriage.
OF course the child was uninjured as the
mud is as soft as feather bed but to
say that the dear little thing was dirty
when it was picked up is very tame
way of describing the situation.
