A Sweet Comparison.

Little Harriet went the other day
with mamma to see Nurse Charlotte's
black baby. When they arrived, the
fat little pickaninny was in his bath,
and only his woody head and little fat
shoulders wers visible above the white
suds. The contrast was startling and
seemed to stride Harriet so, for when
she came home and we asked what she
thought of the baby she said, with a
doubtful look, He looked like little
chocolate drop wifi the cream on the
outside" When Nurse Charlotte heard
it, no one laughed more than he.-Ne,C

Sorry for the Angels.

Little Madge is the youngest member
Of very religious family who live in
a small town not very far from New
York. She had dog named Snap,
who was her most cherished friend.
Snap, however, had a weakness for
Madge's mothers chickens and used
to catch them and pull every feather
from their bodies. During Madge's
absence from home one day her mother
gave Snap away to countryman.
Madge thought Snap was dead and
wept bitterly. The next day she sobbed
heavily and said: Mommer, I'se so
sorry for dem poor angels, cause l
know Snap'll pull ebry fodder out o.

An Eloquent Girl Preacher.

Fannie Edwards, the little girl
preacher who is creating such an ex-
element at Gosport, and who is but
fourteen years of age, has been preach
ing for the past four years. Her home
is at Louisville. She claims to have re-
ceived her knowledge of the Bible by
close study and prayer, and is conceded
to surpass many divines of mature
years. While she is Methodist, her
father and mother belong to the Bap-
fist denomination. She enjoys romp
with the children during her leisure
hours, but is power in the pulpit, and
the church cannot accommodate the
crowd.-Indianapots Ne,cS.

The Matlock Farm.

Pendleton East Oregonian: II. ].
Matlock of Heppner, who arrived in
the city with Cass Matlock Friday af
ternoon, talked with reporter con-
cerning affairs at the MatiOck training
farm. Thirteen colts. those of Repeta,
Lady Duffy, Oregon Rose, Barb Wire
and other mares, are being trained, ,and
all are in good condition. They are tw'
and three years old. Repeta's colt,
Morrow, ,is fiue-looking animal, strong
and healthy, and Mr.. Matlock banks
much on his future; $1,000 could not
buy the colt. In fact, Morrow's prom
ising prospects are to some extent re-
compense for the bad luck at the train
ing farm during the winter. On De-
cember 2O,two fne colts died ,one foaled
by Repeta and the other by Alta. Mr..
Matlock had been offered $4,000 for
Repeta's colt and 1000 for Atlas, and
declined both offers. The former died
from congestion Of the lungs and the
la; ter's death was due 10 an injury.
Two good brood mars were also lost
The Matlock farm is well equipped.
Not long ago s1700 barn, fifty feet
high and conveniently arranged, was
completed.

Possessing . Feather Bed.

Feather beds have an inexplicable
and undeserved popularity in the
southern states. Even in summer the
northern visitor meets the solicitous
inquiry, "Will you have a feather
bed2" and it is the ambition of every
negro housewife to possess such bed.
An old colored woman, who came
north leaving her husband behind her
in Virginia, bemoaned the fact that
she had not heard from home for
many weeks, but astonished those
who suggested that doubtless her
husband was in good health by the
announcement that she was not
worrying about the old man, but lest
he should have sold her feather bed.
1t would be easy enough to get new
husband, she affirmed, but it hardly
fell to the lot of mortal colored wom-
an to own two feather beds In the
course of a lifetime. New York Sun.

Injected HofeIa.

A well known physician recently
published an account of the expert
ence of a patient at 30 called health
resort. Here is part Of the story:
'The patient in question was suf-
fering only from overwork; his fam
lily history was clear, and there was
no tuberculosis to be traced In his i'm
mediate kin or among his ancestors.
He went to a health resort at q high
altitude to recuperate. He boarded
at hotel in which numerous con-
sumptives were coughing and expec-
torating; four months afterward he
developed tuberculosis and now has
a typical case of pulmonary phthi-
sis. The unfortunate condition of
these resorts Is that there is, az q
rule, no system Of disinfection Of the
rooms, verandas, Railways. etc.
'The patients are allowed in most
hotels to expectorate where they
choose, without restriction. The re-
suit is that germs are scattered broad
cast in the buildings and outside Of
tho grounds. They become dry and
are scattered in the air and inhaled
by those exposed. Thus health re-
sort which in the beginning may
have been very effective in combat
ting consumption becomes after q
time veritable center Of infection.

"An dat's de way dey all do. Cry

parted to let the officer through.
The woman looked up as he laid HE

my GodI" she cried and buried
her face once more in her hands.
The officers hand dropped, and his
face grew deadly pale. In husky
tone he said '.I'll go pull the box for
the wagon. You keep her here,
Bill"
AS he started for the patrol box
his walk was unsteady, and his hand
shook as he sent in the call. When
the wagon dashed up, he said with
an effort: There's a woman over
there who's charged with shoplift
ing. Guess you'd better get her."
why didn't you bring her to the
box and save us goin up there"
grumbled the man on the patrol
wagon as they drove off. "You act
as if you were full"
As they hustled the weeping form
up the steps of the big blue wagon
the driver whispered with an oath:
NO wonder Mac looked shaky.
That's his wife, poor devil. She's
been pretty gay lately, but it must
be hard on a man to have to pinch
his own wife"
The attraction was gone. The
crowd passed away, few hooting

this vicinity by assisting the few who
have taken the work upon themselves
Of organizing the Association both by
giving your financial aid as well as the
aid your presence will give by being
there at each and every day of the races.
1t is safe to estimate that during the
past six months, so horses have been
kept here, simply for racing purposes
and each horse so cared for means the
consumption of at least $40 per month
for each horse of what this section de-
rives an income in producing and SELL
ing. The success Of the association
giving the spring meeting and the fall
meeting given under the auspices of
the State Fair Assn means the increase
of the number of horses constantly kept
here to 3 or times the number now
making Salem their headquarters and
during the fall week to at least 200
horses, and anyone can easily figure
the great benefit this will be to Salem
proper, for not only have the horses to
be fed and housed but the large mum
bers of attendants In the shape of
grooms, trainers and owners, together
with the large number of people who
make business of following the races
have to be fed. 1t makes business for
the feed dealer and directly benefits
tue farmer for it makes home market
and place of consumption for hay, oats,
aud shorts produced in this and neigh
boring counties. 1t benefits the hotels,
restaurants and boarding houses, for
places must be found for this floating
population and again are the farmers
and vegetable gardens benefited by the
additional demand made upon them.
These and all meetings make business
for the blacksmith, wagon maker and
wheel-wright, the harness maker and
the general merchant, in fact every
kind of business is in one way
or the other benefited by
these successful race meetings, and
how any enterprising citizen can refuse
to patronize them is more than | can
understand, in fact the citizen of either
city or country who fails to patronize
has no enterprise and is selfish to
himself, as well as TO the community
at large. They make business by ex-
change of what is produced here for
cash aud not the exchange of bushel
of potatoes for its equivalent in
flour, ETC., as is so generally the custom,
the gold coin is left, which all will ad-
init is good thing to have with us and
that which is taken away or consumed
can easily be replaced. therefore urge
the necessity upon all of giving their
aid and patronage to these associations,
for by SO doing you benefit yourselves
as well as the community.
