The John Day Sentinel. having pro-
cured the latest edition of Ayers alma
nae, has started a query column and
offers to answer any question that may
be sent to it. Among the first already
sent in the following: 'Whst is
the origin of the expression Down went
McGinty?'" The Sentinel answers by
relating an incident that occurred dur
ing the wet season after Noah's ark was
built. An Irishman named McGinty
having lost his rubber boots, it is pre-
sumed, climbed up tree to keep his
neither extremities out of the wet. After
he had beckoned in vain for Noah to
come over with his ark he stepped upon
higher limb to escape the rising water
and just as he told Noah he might go to
the "divil wirh his bloody boat as it
was only going to be shower anyhow,
his feet slipped and he was lost in the
seething waters. Just as he fell, Noah
was heard to remark Down went
McGinty''

Eight years before the late Judge J..
H. Bird died he took out life insurance
policy in the Northwestern Life Insur-
ance company for the sum of $4,000.
About two years before his death he al
lowed the policy. to lapse by non-pay-
ment of premium. Notwithstanding
this fact, however, through the efforts of
the localagent of the company, Mr.. T.
A. Hudson, check was received this
morning from the eompany's home office
at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in favor of
Miss Lulu d. Bird, executrix of Judge
Birds estate for the sum of $533, being
over 5000 more then Judge Bird
had paid the company in premiums.
The payment of this sum is entirely vol
untary on the part of the company as
the estate had no legal claim against it..
This act reflects great honor on the
company.

Do Birds Draw LOts4

Flocks of birds SO enhance every land
scape that it is a source of regret that
they are less and less common feature
of our country rambles. They mark the
return of spring more emphatically than
the chance blooming of violets; and
would that we were SO keen sighted as
to mark their breaking up and the scat
tering of mated pairs over the country
This is doubtless gradual process, for 1
find the birds, as the nesting season
draws near, gathering about their favor
ite summer homes, often dozen or
more, and in some way there is a draw
ing of lots, and the particular spots are
reoccupied.-Dr. G. G., Abbott in Mon

No business house in this city affords
better example of the success that al
most invariably attends upon ploding
industry and honest methods, than the
enc whose name heads this article.
Only a little over four years ago the
three brothers, Isaac, George and
Thomas Joles opened little, two by
four grocery store back of the Gates
building on Union street. 1t was an
out of the way place for store and
scarcely afforded space in which to per-
form the proverbial service of whipping
a cat, but it was perhaps equal to the
capital invested and as the bushes 8
grew, which it steadily did from the be-
ginning, it was soon filed from floor to
ceiling. In point of fact what with the
increase of stock and corresponding
increase in the lateral growth of Baby
Joles himself, who weighs over 800
pounds, avoirdupois, it became a ques-
tion of necessity to move into larger
quarters. These were found in the new
Opera building, corner of Washington
and Third, which they took possession
of in July, 1890.
Here they remained, doing con-
stantly increasing and prosperous busi-
hess till the great fire of September 3,
1891 left the store and its contents in
ashes. But the ashes were scarcely cold
till they had bargained for the stock in
trade OF Roscoe & Gibbons and were com
