"Musio hath charms to soothe the savage
breast" but frequently strains of melody
are forced upon unwilling ears, and in such
instances they are not soothing in their
effect, as the following from the Hood River
Glacier will demonstrate: Cush Luckey as a
seranader is not frst-class SUCCESS. Tues
day he performed the Orpheus act under
the window of Lawrence Blowers at about
ii o'clock. Lawrence listened to the music |
for some time but was unable to divine
whether it was intended IS the overture of
something In the musical line, or an incip- |
lent evidence of intent to commit burglary. |

crouching under the window, and called !
out: "Who's there" Receiving no answer |
he called again three or four times with the |
same result; and then he raised the window |
and took a shot at rapidly retreating
figure, fortunately missing it. Cush will
walt for better weather and brighter moon
light before he goes serenading again, and 1T |
is safe to say will answer when called. n
Statesman: Soon after bon. VIM. McKin- |
ley was elected governor of Ohio the Re-
pubIlcans of Salem took it into their heads
to show to him their appreciation OF his |
craftsmanship. and through a committee |
consisting of Jap Mimic, Geo. Williams and |
G. B. Moores money was raised to send him |
the finest pair of blankets that could be |
manufactured in Oregon. The order was |
placed with the Salem woolen mill and yes.
terday the blankets were completed and |
will be exhibited few days, before being |
sent east, at the Woolen Mills store. These
blankets are perhaps the finest ever manu-
factured in Oregon, being Of choice Oregon
wool. They are 96xS0 inches and cost $50,
and are as soft and feecY as down itself.
They are of pure white, the border being OF
red and blue, tessellated. On one side is
woven the dedication: "From the Wool
Growers of Oregon to Gov. Mckinley, of
Ohio" and on the reverse side is the an.
pouncement that the blankets were manu-
factured by the Thos. Kay Woolen Mills,
of Salem, Oregon. This is certainly grand
present, which eloquently declares the es-
TEEN in which the gallant major is held by
the Republicans of far Oregon.
