Recent legislation for the benefit
of the Oregon National Guard: has
had the effect to call out from va
rious newspapers some very lima

thrusts at that organization. lie
Salem Statesman has been noLa-

has characterized the militia as a
set of conceited dudes and kid
gloved, dress paraders who do
nothing but gallant about the
country at public expense. 1t Is
not recorded that the state OF Gre
gon has ever yet paid out ary
money for any such things, and
hence those who criticise the nj
litia in such strain, simply betray
their own waspish disposition and
hastily stoop to create sentiment
of injustice against them.
The instinct of solliership Oh
which this organization is founded
is not a vain desire for display,
but a patriotic spirit, sense OF a
duty OF citizenship, by which our
young men are animated. In a
body of men so actuated and
made efficient by drill and discli-
pline, there is a defense against
disorder or anarchy, and a nucleus
for general military organization,
should the public defense require
it.
The state of Oregon should be
prepared to preserve public order
within its limits, and OH all occa-
sions to enforce its own laws. 1t
should not desire the intrusion OF
the national government, but
should depend on itself for main;

testify to this truth. The writer
has seen another little town, al
the mouth of the Columbia, where
it trembled under the shadow OF
mob violence and entreated the
government for protection. Once
at least the city Of Portland was
on the eve of a riotous cyclone,
which was kept smothered and re-
strained from an outbreak purely
by the influence of organized
arms against the lawless element
which appeared in the militia
companies of the city and other
bodies under disciplined organiza

A Theatrical Dresser.

There is one difference between Amer
ican and European theaters as marked as
their schedule of prices and their usher
ing system, and that is in the matter Of
"dressers." The European manager en-
ploys about half a dozen dressers who
act as body servants of the leading actors
in his company and reregular employees
of the house, like gas men, cleaners and
scene shifters. The American actor,
however. dresses himself or else hires a
man to assist him. When he does hire a
man, it is usually fellow player who is
doing" small parts and is glad of the
chance to increase his $40 wages by s.
from the leading or heavy man or first
comedian.
The dresser has not only to assist in
changing his masters costume, a per-
formance requiring great expedition, but
makes repairs, folds and puts away the
clothing, packs and unpacks the trunks
and sees that the dressing table is sup
piled with paints, wigs, combs and other
needful articles. In the European thea
ters the dresser seldom or never acts,
though he is often an actor who has been
forced off from the stage by illness,
lameness or loss of voice. He is gen
orally prompt, quiet, little obsequious
and hopeful of tips at the end of run
or of season. New York Sun.

A Terrible Threat.

A ianitor in a blue shirt was cleaning
the windows of a bank at Broadway and
Park place tn" other day after office
hours, when Il tramp came along, who,
after eying him few moments with
envy, yelled to him:
Hello, there, you chap in the bank,
can't you throw a fellow out little
money? I'm clean broke, and almost
anything would be welcome,
The janitor went on cleaning the win
dows. He heard what the tramp said,
but wouldn't admit it.
The tramp paused few moments and
then yelled: Come. now, don't be hog.
There must be million dollars in there,
and all you've got to do is to chuck a
bundle of it ont. Are you going to do
it or aren't you:"
Still no response.
The tramp began to chafe under the
CALLING hauteur with which he was be-
ing treated.
IF you don't give me some of that
money, I'll start a report that the banks
in trouble" he yelled. IF ever there
was first rate hog, it's you"
After 10 minutes had elapsed and no
one had taken the least notice of the
tramp he began to walk slowly away.
As he reached the gutter he turned
round, shook mis- fist at the window clean
er and muttered:
When the commune is declared, any
one who wants money will only have to
walk into bank and ask for it. I'll be
there, my beauty, when the day comes,
and I'll point you out to the fellow citi-
zens as an insolent and bloated symbol

ALLIANcf, Nov. s.-Miss Mary Hull.
maiden woman living near Berlin
Center, had terrible experience with
u gang of robbers yesterday evening
About 8 o'clock three masked men en-
tered the house and demanded her
money, enforcing the demand by
knocking her down. She refused to
divulge it's hiding place, and after the
fiends tired of beating her, they took a
pepper box from the table and poured
the contents into her eyes. Screaming
with agony she succumbed to the tor
ture and told where the money was
hid. Her treasure only amounted to
$50. After securing it they jumped
into 4 buggy and drove away. Miss
Hull is in precarious condition and
will probably lose her eyesight.
