Berries in Chicago.

People in The Dalles who like straw
berries can read with watering mouths
about the way that delicious fruit goes
into Chicago this time of the year and
how little money it takes at such a time
to buy all one could carry. Saturdays
Inter Ocean says: Gone hundred and
thirty-six car loads of straw berries were
received in Chicago on Friday and Sat-
urday-ffty y-seven on Friday and seven
ty-three on Saturday. 1t was the largest
quantity ever received in the same time
in any city in the west. The price had
to go down, Sunday was coming and the
berries would not keep over day longer.
They ripened in the rain. Then more will
come on Monday and Tuesday Prob
ably seventy-five cars will come in on
Monday. The estimated consumption
of strawberries in Chicago is twenty cars
or 10 900 crate per day. This last ship
ment made $4,000 crates. There are
twenty-four boxes to the crate. This
makes $50, 900 boxes, or more than one
box to each inhabitant. The boxes
average 140 berries to the box and, as
figured out, 2lS, 400 900 berries were in
Chicago in the two dawes named.
Strawberries now are cheap enough to
burn. A crate only costs from 25 to so
cents.''

Baby is sick.-The woeful expression
of a Des Moines teamster's countenance
showed his deep anxiety was not entire
ly without cause, when he inquired of a
druggist of the same city what was best
to give a baby for cold? 1t was not ne
cessary for him to say more, his counte-
nance showed that the pet of the family,
if not the idol of his life was in distress.
eve give our baby Chamberlain Cough
Remedy was the druggists answer.
Il don't like to give the baby such strong
medicine said the teamster. You know
John Oleson, of the Waters Talbot Print
ing Co., don't you? inquired the drug
gist. Ellis baby, when eighteen months
old, got hold of a bottle of Chamberlain's s
Cough Remedy and drank the whole of
it. Of course it made the baby vomit
very freely but did not injure it in the
least, and what is more, it cured the ba-
by's cold. The teamster already knew
the value of the Remedy, having used it
himself, and was now satisfied that there
was no danger in giving it even to a
baby. For sale by Snipes & Kinersly.

A Touching Incident.

The following, which appeared in !,
Detroit paper, is one Of the most
touching incidents to be met with. If
true. it was a very remarkable case.
and if merely imaginative, it is very
Suggestive:
There is family in this city who
are dependent upon little child for
the present sunshine of themselves.
A few weeks ago the young wife and
mother was stricken down to die. /,
was so sudden, SO dreadful, when the
grave family physician called them to-
gether in the parlor, and in his solemn.
professional way intimated to them
the truth-there was no help.
Then came the question among them
who would tell her. Not the doctor.
1t would be cruel to let the man of
science go to their dear one on such
an errand. Not the aged mother who
was to be left childish and alone. Not
the young husband who was walking
the floor with clenched hands ard re-
bellious heart. Not-there was only
one other, and at this moment he
looked up from the book he had been
playing with, unnoticed by them all,
and asked gravely:
'Is mamma dom to die?"
Then, without waiting for an an
swer, he sped from the room and up
stairs as fast as his little feet would
carry him. Friends and neighbors
were watching by the sick woman.
They wonderingly noticed the pale

"No, CHARLIE said the young
mother. after one supreme pang
OF grief; "no mamma won't be afraid"
"Jus' shut your eyes in Q dark,
mamma, teep hold my hand-an'
when you open 'em, mamma, it'll be

When the family gathered awe
stricken at the bedside, Charlie held
up his little hand.
"H-u-s-h! My mamma doan' to
sleep. Her won't wake up helc any

And so it proved. There was no
heart-rendcring farewell, no agony OF
parting; for when the young mother
woke she had passed beyond. and us
baby Charlie said:

Mother.

Lord Macaulay pays the following
beautiful tribute to his mother
children, look in those eyes; listen
to that dear voice; notice the feeling
of just single touch that is bestowed
on you by that hand! Make much OF
it while yet you have that most pre-
cious of all Gods gifts, Il loving moth
err. Read the unfathomable love OF
those eyes, the kind anxiety of that
touch and look, however slight your
pain. In after life you may have
friends, but never will you have again
the indispensable love and gentle way
shed upon you that none but mother
bestows. Often do sigh in the strug-
giles with the hard, uncaring world,
for the sweet, deep security lfelt when
of an evening. nesting in her BOSOM
l listened 20 some quiet tale suitable
to my ago read in her untiring voice.
Never can / forget her sweet glances
cast upon me when appeared asleep
never her kiss of peace at night.
Years have passed away since we lala
her by my father in the old church
yard, yet still her voice whispers from
the grave and her eyes watch over mo
as I visit spots long since hallowed 10
the memory of my mother"

Legend Explaining How the Fertile Valley D,
rived Its Name.

Legend Explainisg How the Fertile Valley De,
rived Its Name. >
There have been many explanations
offered in times past AS to why the
name of Sonoma was given to this
valley by the native tribe OF Indians
who. upon the advent of the white man
over one hundred years ago, peopled
this section OF the country by thou
sands. OF course we all know that
Sonoma valley in aborigine means
valley OF the Moon,' says the Sonoma
Tribune, but just why that name was
bestowed upon it is another question.
and one, too. which we believe has
never been satisfactorily answered..
Recently. in talking to an aged Indian
who had resided on the old Nick Car
rigan ranch for many years, and who
was an old man when Gen.
eral Vallejo settled in Sonoma
fifty years ago and must
now be something over one hundred
years OF age, he stated the reason the
valley was called Sonoma was because
it had "heep muchee moon" Grams
luted into good English, many moons).
Further inquiry developed the fact
that between the town of Sonoma and
the Bella Vista vineyards, a distance
of four or five miles, the moon when
it is full can be seen by the traveller to
rise seven times in succession over the
mountains in the east owing to their
pee aliar formation. This phenomenon
has been witnessed by many old resi-.
dents in the early evening at the rising
of the full moon. This, no doubt has
been observed by the Indians. and
hence the name VALLEY Of the Moon "

The first one was very fat. and was

s.ition among the ignorant that to

ONLY A WHILE.
PEARL RIVERS.

Only little while to work,
And long, long time to rest:
Then drive the cloud from the aching brow
The sigh from the troubled breast.
Only q while to watch and pray,
And then long, long time to praise;
fJur God, the Father, knoweth best
Then question not His ways.
Only very little while,
As short as the going down
OF the setting sun, to meekly bear
The cross and the thorEy crown.
Only little while to SOW,
And long, long time to reap;
Let's sow in faith with an open hand,
And tares from the good seed keep.
Only little while to lose,
And long, long time to find
The jewels death has robbed us Of
The friends we will leave behind.
Only while to trim our lamps,
Ere the bridegroom passeth by;
Then fill them well with the oil OF life,
Let the flame rise pure and high.
Only little while-what matters it
If our life be short or long!
If we only sing few faint notes
Or the whole Of the changing song!
Only while our banks must drift
To'ard the misty Isle of Tears,
Where the pirate, Time, has buried deep
Lost hopes from the bygone years.
Only while these banks are borno
On the swell Of sorrows waves,
BY the stranded Joys of other days,
BY shore of grassy graves.
Only while they'll struggle on,
Mid the darkness and the strife:
Then God will drop their anchor deep
In the quiet sea Of-Lifo.
