A Delicate Question.


 She loved with the steady fervor of a mature heart that had experienced its joys and its disappointments, but when the colonel asked the privilege of word alone with her in the conservatory hei brain reeled and the air grew dark. Even when they were snugly seated be- hind a palm, secure from intruding eyes, her lips were white with excitement and her breath came in short gasps.
 Nor was the colonel entirely at his ease. "Madam"--
 The slight tremor in his voice did moi escape her.
 'I have-er-a-er"-
 There came over her sickening dread lest the colonel be frightened into re. ceding from his seemingly patent reso. lution.
 "Pray proceed, colonel.'
 She spoke with the calmness of desper. ation. 'As was saying-er-er"-
 The colonel faltered painfully.
 "I have a delicate--er--question to- er-propound.
 She blushed.
 Its very sudden, colonel, but in view of our long friendship"- She was astonished at her own cool. ness.

 ''Of course I'll hear you colonel" she murmured encouragingly.
 The colonel coughed.

 The colonel seemed to be wandering. "That is to say-er--I would like tc know-er--er"--
 She felt 1t due to her future happi. ness to look the colonel full in the fac, and smile.
 s'That is--how-how-how
 "Yes, colonel"
 "How you keep your false teeth from falling out. l can't keep mine in my mouth to savo my neck"
 The colonel appeared to bo real anx ious, and the worst of it was that he ob tained very little satisfactory informa ton after all.-Detroit Tribune.

A georgia nrnle mina.

Squire Spudler has just discovered an
extensive bay mule mine on his farm

in the bank Of the stream The squire
commenced q search and soon discovered

it buekedf and jumped with him, and,
after sending him of ON voyage of dis

prove very profitable, and fodder md

Thanksgiving Day in New York City.
1t used to be that Thanksgiving day in
New York was, like the day all over the
eastern part of the country, a day which
centered around dinner. This dinner
was inevitable and the families saw each
other then that never saw each other in
group at any other time. The prodigal
returned for it; the poor relation looked
forward to it and praised it as it pro-
gressed heavily through its different
courses; and the several members of the
family tried to be more polite and genial
and loving toward one another at that
meal than at any other of the three times
1856 other meals of the year There are
some who like family dinners, and there
are other wicked ones who sympathize
with the young woman who assented to
having family dinner by saying, eyes,
and let us have any family but our ownl'
1t is an awful and solemn ceremony in
many homes, and it is made more SO, as
rule, by some one of the elder of the
poor relations, who endeavors to enliven
the general gloom by trying to be ''the
life of the dinner" He does this by
growing reminiscent over the younger
members, and telling how pretty they
were as children, and how they used to
make him tell and reten the old story of
the roast pig he stole the night before
Gettysburg, with which introduction he
promptly tells the old story again.
It may not be so everywhere, but
around New York city this has all
changed. 1t is not that the families
around the great metropolis love each
other less, or that they have less cause or
less desire to be thankful, but great and
powerful and fascinating rival has come
to take the place of the Thanksgiving
day dinner, and it is known not only in
New York, but from Texas, or wherever
else Yale man is carrying transit, to
Canada, or wherever else the Princeton
man is building bridge, as the Thanks
| giving day game.
And now everybody goes out to see
Princeton and Yale decide the football
championship, and instead of boring each
other around a dinner table, grow hoarse
and exhausted in shouting for their ia
vorite son or the college of their SON.

Wasco and Sherman counties business
council met at Center Ridge schoolhouse
on the 10Th of Decem ber, l SOL, and held
an interesting and harmonious session.
The following resolutions were consid-
cred of enough importance the public
to demand publication:
Whereas, the convict labor of the
state OF Oregon is now contracted to
corporation at very small compensa-
tion, yielding but little revenue TO the
state, leaving the greater part of expense
of keeping and guarding the, convicts-a
burden on the taxpayers OF. the state;
and
Whereas, the labor, as at present en-
ployed. is in com petition with fee or
honest labor; and
Whereas, we believe that the labor of
the convicts ought to be employed in
such way as to be. in measure, self
sustaining and benefit to the state, and
at some work in which all, or nearly all,
may be employed: and
Whereas, the present contract of the
conrict labor is about to expire; and
Whereas, the jute plant in San Quen-
tin prison, CAL, has proved self-sus-
taiuing institution; and the state of
Washington is now putting in a jute
plant in the penitentiary; therefore
be it
Resolved: That we demand of the
incoming legislature, to provide by suf-
fcient appropriations to put in jute
mill atthe penitentiary of Oregon, to be
managed and run under state authority,
and the manufactured grain bags to be
sold to farmers and consumers direct at
cost.
Another resolution provides for hav-
ing this resolution printed and sent to
all farmers organizations, with an invi-
tation to join us in pushing this great
move to success. P. p. UNDERWOOD.
