need for a week OF ten days absence.
Get your sister to stay with you for
company. Goodbye, dear, s'long. Take
care Of yourself"
Then he rung off, and Mrs. Bascomb
went in search of the satchel, which she
packed with deft hand. She was
young woman, sensible, well-balanced,
and nothing ever disturbed or annoyed
her to the extent of making her fidgety
or nervous. Being in robust health,
she hardly knew what nerves meant.
She was self. reliant, but domestic, aud
absorbed IN her home life, which COM
prised her world. And she never crossed
any bridges until she came TO them. She
knew that her husband had intended
going to New York on the following
day, and did not wonder or ponder over
his change of plans.
When the messenger came for the
satchel she sent it carefully packed, just
as she knew her husband wanted 1t.
She added nothing to its usual contents,
and subtracted nothing. Yes, stay.
She did take out his seveu-shooter,
every chamber OF which was loaded, aud
laid it on the table under the mirror, in
the back parlor.
"Howdy has one revolver. with him.
That will have to do him this trip. l
like to have one handy in case should
need it."
She smiled and smiled again without
being villain. The idea of needing
firearms seemed SO incongruous and
absurd.
In the afternoon she went up to her
home to "borrow her sister," as she ex.
pressed it. But Miss Madgie had gone
away with some young friends, and was
engaged to spend the night at the house
of schoolmate. So Mrs. Bascomb re-
turned home alone.

Two men stood in the doorway of an
unused fight of office stairs and read an
evening paper.
They were much occupied in discuss
ing one item among the personal news.
1t was this:
"ThG Rubber Horseshoe Company is
an assured fact. Mr.. Howard Bu:comb
drew SIG, 900 from the NJ. & NJ. Bank
to-day, the investment of the branch
company formed here, and will leave for
New York tomorrow. A capital Of
$50, 000 is assured"
"Do y see!" calculated the younger
and smaller of the two men. "Drew
$4,000 in spondulicks. Goes home
with it in his vest pocket, blow me ef he
don't"
'Maybe not, pard. s'posin' it's a

"Then there'll be d reward offered to
get it back-see3"
"Jim, g'roun' to tn bank an find out

the older man.
"Bauk clussed, remarked Jim senten-

Jim started off at once without wait
ing TO give his '.pard" any outline of his
plan. He was gone an hour, but when
he returned he was freighted with in
telligence.
"Bills, he chuckled, "fve hundred
and one thousand dollar bills-whew

the other man, after spell of silence.

The rascals, who, in appearance at
least, might have passed for honest men,
walked out OF the doorway aud parted
company, to avoid the eagle eye of the
police, which would have recognized in
their duality conspiracy against law
and order.
When Mrs. Bascomb returned from
her visit it was dark. She had stayed
TO supper, and as the girl opened the
door she saw that she was somewhat ex-
cited.
"What is it, Kitty" she asked rather
gravely, because the girl was inclined to
get frustrated easily.

girl as lived here before l camei" she
responded with counter question.
"Here name3 Sarah something, /

The Art of PoIitsnass.

Is politeness quite lost artl Some
times 1 am obliged to think so. The
other evening at q performance Of
"Adonis" stylishly dressed woman sat
behind young girl whose large hat
somewhat obscured her view Of the per-
formance. A polite request on her part
would doubtless have induced the wearer
Of the obnoxious hat to remove it. But
the woman who couldn't see preferred
other methods. So loudly and rudely
she said: "I think it is abominable for any
one to wear big hat like that in the
theater. It oughtnt to be allowed"
The wearer of the hat immediately re-
moved it. Then the woman who couldn't
see leaned forward and said in the most
dulcet Of tones: "It was very sweet of
you to remove your hat. It quite Oh
scured the stage from view" But the
sweetness had come little too late, and
the wearer Of the hatreplied quietly, but
cuttingly, sit would have been more
amiable of you, madame, had you asked
me to remove my hat instead Of making
the disagreeable remark that met my
ears."-New York Commercial Adver-

Our reporter from Corvallis states
that the Huauoial situation ~ the Agri.

cred by the public.
Mistaken reports 10 regard 10 this
matter have recently gone abroad 10
the effect that the board Of regents
had not secured bondsmen other than
Hamilton, job 4 Go. Also u was
stated that the bOsrd of regents bad au.
tnOrized the treasurer Of the college to
maze that bank, which has failed, the
college depository.
At the meetings Of the board held at
Corvallis last week II was shown from
the records that besides Hamilton, job
4 Co. there are several good and sub
stantial citizens Of Benton county on
Mr.. Shipley's bond for the sum OF S40,-
900. There Is no record Of the board Of
regents having authorized Mr., Ship
ley to make that bank the depository
of the state apportionment.
The Albany Herald has the follow
ing statement Of the matter:
Considerable has been said about the
funds for the Agriculture college at Cor
Wallis from the state, which had been
placed in the Hamilton, JOB bank 10y
Hon. A. r. Shipley, the treasurer for
the college, and by the failure of that
institution becoming unavailable for
! the present and to q measure loss.
, At the recent meeting of the board oi
regents IL was decided to hold the TIRE as
urer and his bondsmen for the money,
and the matter was placed in the hands
of the executive committee of the board
AS Judge Boise is one of that commit
tee the people will have ample assur.
ance that justice and right and the wei.
fare Of the state will be guarded by the
hest legal ability of the state.
The above is very gratifying to the
people, because it has been asserted il
print, as coming from some members
Of the board, that Mr.. Shipley was mo-
liable for the money loet to the state.
The records of the board show thai
it was largely due to the efforts of Hon
w. A. Sample Of Umstiila county anC
J one or two other members of the board
that Mr.. Shipley was called up to give
bonds at all.
There is no question that every dol
lar will be recovered for Treasurer Ship
ley is under good and sufficient bono,
to the amount of $4,000.

Good Things In n Pam phIst.

There lived many years ago In Ireland
barrister Of the name Of Bethel, who
was rather proud Of his attainments and
who liked to show them off in the writ
ing Of pamphlets. One of these, said by
those who have seen it to be anything
but valuable, was upon the subject Of
the union between Ireland and England.
Meeting witty acquaintance some
days after the publication of his PAM
phlet, Bethel was asked by him why he
had not informed him of its appearance.
II wonder you didn't tell me you'd
written it, Bethel" said the witty &C
quaintance. II never saw it until yes
terday. and only then by the merest &C
cident"
"Well, how did you like it," asked
Bethel, who was fond of praise and was
anxious to hear what was forthcoming
to crafty his vanity.
"How did like itT' repeated the other.
"Why, 1t contained some of the best
things ever saw in pamphlet on any
subject"
II am very proud to have you say so, !"
said Bethel. very proud indeed. And
-ah-what were the things that pleased
you so muchT'
