Literally Death by Inches.

A Los Angeles physician told US the
other day that the most trying time in
all his experience was during the past
five weeks, when he stood hopelessly by
and saw a poor ranchman neal Puente
die by inches of what is known as pro
gressiye paralysis. The patient was first
affected in one big toe. In a short time
the limb was paralyzed to the knee.
Two physicians were called, and all the
known remedies were applied to stay
the progress of the deadening attack,
but in vain. Hour by hour death moved
on it's victim. The patient was propped
up in an armchair and fully realized
his condition. He awaited the end with
the GOODNESS and bravery of a martyr.
AS the line of death crept nearer and
nearer his heart he made calculations as
to how much longer he could live. He
said, "NOw it has reached the body
indicating the exact place with his
finger. In a little while he said, 1T
has reached the bottom of my lungs"
Another short wait and he said family,
"It has touched my heart" and he fell
over dead.-POmOna Express.

A Queer Creature Dead.

Mason Evans, the much Photographed
"wild man. of Monroe county, is dead.
The fatal grip took him off. Evans had
been a great curiosity in this section for
more than forty years, during which
time he had roamed in the woods, apart
from the comforts of civilization, sub
sisting on roots and herbs dug from the
earth, with an occasional fowl surrepti-
tiOusly taken from some convenient
barnyard. He was captured several
times but always managed to escape.
Seven or eight years ago he was captured
by some fearless fellow with an enter
prising turn of mind for the purpose of
entering him in a dime museum as the
"Wild man of Borneo."
When taken his body was as hairy as
that of a bear and covered with filth
and vermin. His eye cleaned like the
eye OF a maniac and he had almost lost
the power of speech. For twenty years
he lived in a cave of the ChilhOwee
mountains, and was never known to
have spoken a word during that time.
He lived in a state of nudity, and was
fond of raw meat.
Those who know his history say that
he was born in Monroe county, near
Hiwassee college, in 1927 or thereabout.
He was of a good family and received a
splendid education. At about twenty
years of age he was engaged in teaching
school, and in the meantime fell in love
with a handsome young lady of his
Eeighborhood. She received his atten-
tions with apparent favor. One night
he called and asked her to become his
wife. She said "No." BE went out into
the darkness and it was many years be-
fore he was seen again, and then he fed
from his fellow men like a frightened
deer.-Cor. Chattanooga Times.

How a Name Originated.

About $50 years ago Jonathan Meigs
fell in love with a beautiful Quakeress.
He was repeatedly refused, but he per-
severed in his suit, riding seventy miles
every Saturday acros a country infested
with hostile Indians in order to pass the
Sunday neal the lady at meeting" On
the last visit, as he slowly mounted his
horse to ride away, the sight of his de-
jected face touched the young lady, and
lifting her hand she beckoned to him,
crying, Return, Jonathan" The phrase
was adopted as a Christian name in the
family that sprang from the subsequent
union, and IA mar named Return JON
athan Meigs' has just died in Washing
ton.-Yankee Blade.

A STORY FROM PARIS.
AN INTERESTING ROMANCE OF A
THOUGHTLESS PAINTER.

The Widow Who Came to Dispossess the
Love, and Later His Hand and Heart.
A Little Child Led Them.
There is a friend of mine, a painter,
who has all the talents and no talent of
his own. He would copy or initiate a
Greuze or a Vatican to perfection. A
Diaz by him only wants the signature,
which an INSCRIPTIONS dealer does not
hesitate to forge. My friend, whom we
will call Durand, is an excellent man,
industrious and clever, but too negligent
to take the initiative in anything, even
in painting. Well, he had given notice
to quit his apartment in July, on the
fifteenth day of the month, at noon, ac-
cording to the customs of the country.
He had, however, been SO absorbed in
his painting that he had forgotten to re-
tain a wagon to take away his furniture,
and when he did at last concern himself
about the matter he only succeeded in
securing one for the end of the day. But
at o precisely, just as he was putting
the finishing touches to a copy of
GreuZe's famous "Cruche-Ca ssee," there
cam an imperious knock at the door.
1t was the , tenant, escorted by her
furniture. She was furious to find that
Durand was ~''dawdling over his paint
brushes" while all her furniture was
out in the street exposed to the gaze of
indiscreet passersby. She even threat
ened to send for the police in order to
bring Durand to a sense of his duties as
an outgoing tenant.
Durand, like many painters, thought
the sea more charming than ever when
agitated by a storm, and concluded that
his fair visitor was rendered more beau
tiful by her anger. She was about
twenty-five years of age. She had dark
hair and blue eyes, a fine, supple figure,
and her pretty nostrils were slightly
dilated by her emotion. She was &C
companied by a little girl of six years
of age-a little golden haired fairy.
''What!' continued the irate lady, ''you
are not going away until 5 o'clock? It
is absurd! What am | to do with my
furniture? Where is the proprietor? ]
must see the proprietor" 1t was i'm
possible to crafty her last wish. The
concierge alone was available, but the
newcomer was so terrible, sc aggressive
and so threatening that Cerberus was
tanned and ran away, leaving his broom
behind him.

INFLUENCE OF A CHILD.

Durand ought, according to his sys-
tenn Of imitation, to have become wrath
full, too, but his adversary was a pretty
woman, so he sought an ally. The lit
tie girl was playing with d shepherdess
in porcelain de SAKE that adorned one
end Of the chimney piece. SHOULD you
like it," ooh, yes; it is so pretty"
Take it." Jeanne" said the mother,
Il forbid you to accept anything" eff
it were only to. please her." replied
Durand, Il could understand your pro-
hibition, but it is an economy for Inc.
| shall have so much less to move"
Women are ready laughers. The lady
fixed her eyes on the wall in order to
keep her cOuntenance. Your name is
Jeanne?" said the painter. Yes" an
swered the child. And your papa
where is he?' He died two years ago.
And mamma is a widow Yes, mon
sieur."
Then turning to the lady, Durand
apOlOgized for his sins, told her that he
had cleared one room and that he would
go and help her get her furniture in.
Soon the furniture began to find its
place-the wardrobe, the mirror, the
bookcase. "Oh, madame, without know
ing you, as | look at these books | can
read your mind. Balzac, Hugo, Lamar
tine TIA, ia, ta,' cried the irate
lady, ''you would have done better to
clear out before noon than to be trying
to study my c~haracter!' Il am work
ing all the time, madame. Look! !
have put that console there-here the
statue of the Virgin-this little mirror
opposite the window" ''Oh, it is no
use; you cannOt make peace with me-
WRATH TURNED TO LOVE.
There was an interval of twenty min
utes, during which the lady stood at the
window. Durand had remained in his
room with the child. "Are they COM
ing today or tOmOrrow-yOur men, she
asked angrily as she came back into the
room; but she stopped in the middle.
Jeanne, motionless and smiling, was
seated on a chair and Durand was paint
ing her portrait. Mamma" said the
little one suddenly, Il am hungry. You
have some wine and a pate in the big
basket" Come, then, and breakfast ON
the balcony" murmured the mother.
DuTdlu was lell dlOllS " lulISu Ills
sketch. There was a silence of ten min
utes. Then the child returned timidly.
Mamma has something to ask you"
WHAT She does not dare" "She
wants to turn me out?" mo" What
them" Mamma would like to know if
you-if you would like a piece of pate"
This happened on July Is, and when
the concierge arrived, all trembling, to
announce that the men had at last come
to remove Durand's furniture, he found
him sitting on the balcony at table with
the mother and handling the child on
his knees.
Misfortunes, however, never come
alone. The wagon was too small. 1t
would not hold all Durand's things at
once. Leave your palette, your easel
and your pictures" said Jeanne; Il will
take care of them, and then you will
be obliged to come back again and
finish my picture" He left them. He
only came into possession of them on
Jan. 10, when he brought all his fur
niture back into his wi This
time, however, there was no difficulty
about the outgoing tenant, for she had
meanwhile become Durand's wife, and
the two households were merged into
one. Paris Cor. Philadelphia Bulletin.

For several years past Dalles City
skaters have had no crystal congelation
upon which to indulge their ambition
a few days and moonlight evenings, but
the time was really too brief for any
thing like the pleasures of former sea-
sons still remembered, hence it is not
surprising that they are hopeful of a
change, like the man in the time of ad
versity. Another class of our citizens
who are thus hoping for change, are
the ice dealers and consumers.
'tHow to raise water by machinery for
private use" is the subject up for dis
cussion at the meeting of the horticul-
tural society at Hood River next Satur-
day. From the amount of money spent
for rams, mills and wheels it would
seem that this subject is very timely
one, says the Glacier. Don't throw
away 500 on something to raise water
with and then find it will not fiji the
bill. Attend the horticultural meeting,
and by listening and questioning find
out just what you need before you buy.
Discussion will be opened by H. c..
Bateman.
Mr.. Clary, a Kansas city gentleman
who is taking insthe Inland Empire on
business, informs US there is still await
ing shipment at one city alone in the
Palouse region 500, 900 bushels of wheat,
bot one third of which is in warehouse,
but is piled up on platforms on the out
Fside. Six thousand cars Of wheat have
passed Ellensburgh en- route to Tacoma
alone. Coupled with this statement is
the fact that great amount of wheat is
still held by the farmers of eastern
Washington for better prices, and yet
not one-fourth of the wheat land is in
cultivation. Taken as it is the situation
plainly shows that with the Columbia
river alone will we be able to ship the
products of the Inland Empire in any
thing like reasonable time annually in
the near future.

Spraying is Essntial.

Hillsboro Independent. The idea
seems to prevail quite extensively among
the apple growers of Oregon and Wash
ington that it is useless to attempt to
save apples from the ravages of the
Goblin moth by spraying. Correspond
ents shave in two :.or three instances
lately, written letters claiming that no
practical good results come from such
spraying. These writers seem to forget
that apples are raised and the Goblin
fiourishes in great many other places
as well as in the Pacific northwest and
that the orchardists of the leading apple
growing districts do save a very large
proportion of their apples from the raw
ages of the Goblin moth by spraying
with arsenites. What can be done else
where can be done here and, in fact, is
done here. Reports have been
made by number of fruit growers in
Oregon who have saved the greater part
of their fruit by spraying. The reports
of the Results of the experiments at the
Oregon Agricultural college have never
been discredited, and Prof Washburn
reports that they have saved 85 per cent.
OF their apples by spraying this year.
The proposed plan of trapping the worms
of the Goblin moth is an excellent one as
far as it goes, and ought to be universally
adopted. Until it is universally adopted
and followed twill be necessary to spray
the fruit because the moths which lay
the eggs will not confne their operation
to the orchard in which they developed
but will fly also to the orchards in which
all the worms have been trappedS

An Exciting Incident Recorded by un-
iper Flat.
Mr.. Samuel Patterson has charge of
two cougar, which were captured by a
late arrival from the east, and while in
the act of feeding them, they became
enraged and jumping out of the cage,
which was a frail affair, made of pine
Stats, they started for Mr.. Patterson,
who took to his heels, and made straight
for the nearest juniper tree, which he
climbed in great haste. 1t not being
out of the cougars line OF business to
climb, they too ascended the tree. Just
at this stage of the game Mr.. Patterson's g
screaming for help could be heard for
miles, and the gentleman who captured
the cougars happened to be on the ranch
and hastened to the scene with a Win
chester rife in hand, with which he
commenced firing. At three shots both
cougars rolled to the ground dead. Mr..
Patterson could stand the strain no
longer; his eyes commenced to roll, and
he fell to the ground unconscious. A
little cold water is quickly administered
and he returns to the land of the living.
In regaining consciousness, he looked
around and seeing the two cougars lying
PROSTATE on the ground, he drew long
deep sigh of relief, staggered to his feet
with the aid of his friend and took ref
uge in the house. Though not seriously
ill, he is still very weak, and remains
within doors by the orders of his family
physician. J. F.
