HIS PA is A DARN COWARD.

he was trying new can opener on tin
biscuit box in the grocery, while the gro
Ger was putting up some canned goods
for the boy, who said the goods were for
the folks to use at picnic, but which
were to be taken out camping by the boy
and his chum.
"Oh, Isuppose he is n brave man" said
the grocer as he charged the goods to the
boys father. "Your Pa is called ma
jor, and you know at the time Of the re-
union he wore veteran badge and talked
to the boys about how they suffered dur

Suffered nothing" remarked the boy
with sneer, unless they suffered from
the peach brandy and leather pies Pa sold
them. Pa was sutler-that's the kind
of aveteran he was-and he is acoward."
What makes you think your Pa is a
coward.'' asked the grocer as he saw the
boy slipping some sweet crackers into his
pistol pocket.

THE WILLAMETTE GIRL.

An eastern Oregon exchange is consider
ably worried because certain young lady
is so timi1 and sensitive that she will not
walk by a corntield, because the corn has
ears; nor through a potato patch, because
the potatoes have eyes. In Springfield
there Is young lady who will not climb a
cherry tree because it makes the cherries
turn red in the face. At Cottage GROVE
there is girl who will not climb peach
tree because it makes the peaches blush.
At Eugene, we are told, the fair sex do not
play lawn tennis because it makes the grass
turn green with envy. 1t is also said there
is young lady at Junction. SO homely that
she won't look through window for fear of
giving the window pain. In the above list

DECIDEDLY SHAKY.

A trembling hand, an uncertain step,
idgetiness, indicated by restless shifting
from one place or posture to another, usually
mental annoyance at unexpected noises, are
among the indications of extreme nervous
ness. These seem trifiing. but the health Of
men and women in this condition is
decidedly shakey," liable to be-overtnrown
disastrously by causes which the vigrous
might defy. To fortify the nervous system,
general vigor must, through the medium of
reinforced digestion and renewal of an
impaired power of sleeping at night. be
raised to healthful standard. A guarantee
of this is Hosretter's Stomach Bitters, which
re-establishes digestion, bile secretion, and
the habit of body on a permanently regular
basis, thus renewing the bodily equilibrium,
which is followed by gain of strength aud
nerve tranquility. For kidney complaint,
rheumatism, neuralgia, and as preventive
of the first attack or subsequent return of
malarial disorders, this medicine is without
peer. Thrice daily take a wineglassful.

OUTING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

1t is "a question whether or not it is
better, in the end, for outing parties to
suffer a, degree of hardship. Which
ever theory is correct, experience
proves that they usually suffer great
deal of annoyance, especially i'll the
earlier stages of the ordeal. People
ought to know and doubtless do know
the attendant miseries of camping, but
they believe the pleasures predominate
or else are determined in the hope that
| declining health will be arrested.
The misfortunes of Rev. w. G..
Kantner, on the road to the bay last
week, led his companions to doubt the
popular belief that the Lord takes Care
of His own. Our unfortunate friend,
however, only regarded his possession
Of one baIky and one vicious horse as
very severe test of his faith.
Mr.. Kantner, Mr.. A. F. Hershner,
Mr.. f. NJ. Johnson, and their families
started on THURSDAY, the former two
with single horses and the latter with
double team and spring wagon. The
first named gentleman broke spring,
which was repaired at Wrenn, causing
considerable delay. Soon afterward
his horse gave out, or baked, and all
the eloquent persuasion which Mr..
Kantner could command only moved
the animal to tears. At length Mr..
Hershncr drove to the top of the bill,
and, returning with his horse, pulled
Mr.. Kantner's buggy to the summit.
This proceeding was repeated num-
Der of times when suitable camping
place was reached. Mr.. Johnson, in
the mean time, had proceeded on his
way rejoicing, in ignorance of the mis-
fortunes of the rear guard. AT the end
of the first days journey Mr.. Kantner
hired another horse, and he lad not

one proved to be kicker and damag d

Gle Mr. Kantner's division of the party
was conveyed to its destination, and,
we hope, to the pleasures OF the season.

Ex-Commissioner Klngery, unlike
most farmers, doubles his money on
hogs. by selling the cured meat instead
of marketing them alive. He sold
l,400 pounds of bacon to Mr. Apper-
son the first of the week, and has
cured 1000 pounds in all the past
year. The product brought an aver
age of one bit IA pound. The meat of
one hog netted him $36, which, if he
had sold alive, would not have brought
more than half that amount. OF
course it requires considerable work to
cure meat, but Mr.. Klngery is a man

AT PnILoMArH
The fortieth annual session of
the Oregon Annual Conference of
| United Brethren in Christ met in
the college chapel at Philomath,
Oregon, August 3rd, at $50 a. M,
Bishop N. Castle presiding. There
was seventeen ministers and six
lay delegates present. The busi-
ness sessions of the conference were
marked with great interest, and
the devotional services we're full of
spiritual interest.
Hon. J. A. Henkle was elected
president of Philomath college.
J. A. Henkle, J. M. Kitson, E. l..
Dixon, S. McLane, John Zeizler
and VIM. Jolly were elected to fill
vacancies as trustees of Philomath
College.
Rev. C. c. Bell was elected pre-
siding elder of the district.
The Conference appointees are as
follows: District, Rev. G. G. Bell;
Eugene, P. Ell. Davis; Goshen,
II. Clark; Philomath, J. R. Park
er; Yamhill, w. E. Rossman;
Portland, to be supplied; Col
umbia, J. L. Garret; Hood
River, R. E. Kaufman; Puyallup.
A. S. Parker; Dufur, J. w. Adams :;
?. c. Hetzle Of American Bible
Society agent for Oregon, Wash
ington, Montana, Idaho and Utah.
On Sabbath morning and even
ing Bishop Castle preached sermons
Of great power and interest to at
tentive audiences. 1t will be re-
membered that the Bishop served
the Coast District eight years.. and
the people of Philomath as we'll as
the representatives Of other points
in the conference were glad to re-
new the memories of other years.
1t is the desire and prayer of all
hearts that he may live long and
serve God in the church to which
he has given his life.
Conference met in closing session
on Monday morning at 8 o'clock.
After devotional services unfinished
business was taken up. Rev. G. C.
Bell rendered his resignation as
presiding elder and J. r. Parker
was elected to that position. Ad-
journed with farewell service.
CONFERENCE NOTES.
After his resignation as presiding elder,
Z. Z. Bell was appointed to the Portland
charge.
Rev. I. G. Knots has withdrawn from
this conference district and probably will in
future affiliate with the Presbyterian de-
nomination, with which he has been offered
pastorate i'll Southern Oregon.
Philomath deserves much credit for the
way IN which her good people entertained
the delegates and visitors.
Rev George Sickafoose, formerly the pre-.
siding elder, has withdrawn from Oregon
and i'll the near future will reunite with st.
Joseph conference i'll Indiana and Michigan.
Rev. J. Z. Parker the young minister
who succeeded Rev. Bell as presiding elder
possesses considerable ability and his friends
unite in wishing him a successful year.
Uncle 1chabod Henkle and his estimable
companion were i'll constant attendance
upon all the SESSIONS.
The election of Hon. John Henkle to the
presidency of the college is considered a
wise move, and is one that will no doubt be
beneficial to the interests of that institu-
tion.
