The body of Mr.. A. ,McCorkle, son of Mr..
McCorkle of Tygh Valley. aged about l9
years, was found dead Sunday evening un
der a wagon near Kent postofice, Sherman
county. 1t Is supposed that he fell from
the seat of the toward wagon, and the We
hicle passed over him, crushing out his life.
He was driving four horses attached to two
wagons loaded with wheat, and in passing
down steep grade the front one, on which
he was sitting. slanted sideways throwing
him out and causing his death I'D thu man
ner mentioned. Young McCorkle had
been at work for farmer near Kent fer
several months, and wa5 of steady and in
dustrious habits, and his tragcal death will
be sad blow to the community. His
father, Mr-W McCorkle, who has grist
null in Tygh valley. is an old aud respected
citizen of the county, aud Is we'll. known to
all old residents. When learning of the &C
cldent to his boy he Immediately made pre-
parations to 90 to the scene of the tragedy,
but we are informed that the horse which
was attached to the buggy ran away, and he
was so badly injured that he had to give up
the journey. This was peculiarly sad, and
the sympathy of the community will be ex-

Accidental Death.

Mr.. Fred Kemp, of Hood River, died at
the residence of his parents in that town
last Tuesday, and was buried in Pine GroYe
cemetery the following day. Rev. Troy
Shelley conducted the funeral services at
the church and cemetery. which were very
Impressive. The young man was aged l9
years, and was highly respected in the com.
munity by reason of his exemplary habits.
He was driving team attached to load of
wood last Friday. and in coming down the
grade to fuckers mill the brake would not
work. and he turned the horses into the
bank to stop the velocity of the vehicle.
The ANIMALS went up the bank farther than
was intended, and he was thrown from his
seat and struck by falling sticks of wood.
As soon as possible he was taken to his
home and medical aid Summoned; but al
though everything possible was done, his
injuries proved fatal. Mr.. Kemp was a
general favorite among his associates, and
his death has cast gloom over the commu-
nifty. The funeral was very largely attended
by citizens, and the parents in their irrepar-
able loss received many expressions of sin
cere sympathy.

Taste In Animals.

Many experiments have been made
in order to find out what and where
the organ of taste is in the lower
creations; but it is easier to say
where it is not Crayfish and worms
seem to have very decided prefer
ences in the matter of food, though
no special taste organ has been
found. Lobsters like decaying food
the crab is more dainty in its diet.
Snails and slugs show a decided
preference for certain kinds of food,
as garden lovers know to their cost i;
peas and cabbages, dahlias and sun
flowers are great favorites, but they
will not touch the white mustard.
Some prefer animal food, especially
if rather high. Spiders have only a
slight sense of taste; flies soaked in
paraffin seem quite palatable to
them, though one species, the dia-
dema, is somewhat more particular
and refuses to touch alcohol in any
form whatever. Journal.

Children Must SleeD.

There is nothing that little folks
need so much or that helps their
physical development so largely as
plenty of sleep. Until they are Is
years old they should have at least
10 hours of natures great restorer.
An authority on such matters says
that they never should be awakened,
but allowed to sleep until of their
own accord they are ready to get up.
School and household duties, how
ever, make such course impracti-
cable, but if they are put to bed
early enough they will be quite
ready to rise without calling alta rea-
sonable hour. Bedtime can be made
pleasant by the telling of a story or
q few especially loving ministra-
tions and caresses that will make
this hour period to be anticipated
rather than dreaded.-St. Louis Re

Who does not know that a cat, or
even a half grown kitten, taken a
long way from home in a bag, nearly
always finds its way back2 When
living in northern Michigan, l had a
cat we tired of. I took her in boat
directly across the lake. about two

it was about six miles around the

He looked much the same as every

he was hero, nor did 1 until he had
left the party in which I met him.
Domestic heroism, that of the pri-
vacy of home, with no Victoria cross
or congressional medal dangling be-
fore it as a possibility, is, after all,
perhaps the noblest of all heroism.
Here was a great, strong, healthy
and wealthy man, fond of outdoor
sports, of travel, of the activity of
busy commercial career-one who in
his youth was a mans man rather
than a woman's. Fifteen years ago
he married, and in few years there
came three children into the house
hold.
It had been a happy family. He
has been a kindly husband as hus-
bands go, and she pleasant and
dutiful wife. Out of the night came
paralysis to her-a new life to him.
Since that time his career has been
entirely altered. His business was
quickly arranged so he could be fire.
quently absent from his Office. He
was father, mother, nurse, teacher,
companion and playmate compressed
in one domestic providence. Never
had woman more devoted attendant
nor more faithful and intelligent
nurse.
All the little questions of house
keeping and of the care and training
of children, of their clothing, their
pleasures and their pains, fell to him,
and in his hands they have been
managed with a wisdom and care
absolutely wonderful. This has been,
something of 10 years
standing, and it has grown instead of
lessening Outside of his compare
lively casual attention to business
his horizon is confined to the walls
of his home. To make the wife for

They travel about considerably,
this family, and all the details are
taken care of by him. No hired
nurses or governesses are permitted
to usurp any of his duties, although
there is one of each there at hand as

this done, SO modestly is it carried
out, that even the chief beneficiary |

An Enormous Balsam Poplar.

Near Geneva, N. Y, is balsam
poplar tree 120 feet high, diameter of
the top lis feet and with a trunk %
feet in diameter. It is probably the
finest specimen of this tree in the
world. It is on the home grounds

taken for the common Canadian pop
lar, but DIR. Sweet is authority for
the corrected name. It is believed to
be about 100 years old and is called
the century tree, but as this would
make an average increase of nearly
s inches in diameter a year it must
be older than supposed. -Meehan's

and the committee recently selected to start
for Eastern Oregon to look over the differ.
ent proposed sites upon which to locate the
branch insane asylum. Owing to circum.
stances the superintendent was compelled
to defer the trip until after the lst of next
month. The conditions are such that the
end of the fiscal year is near at band, and
should the superintendent leave at the
present time it would delay the work of
preparing his reports and other business
neces sary to be cleared up. There is suffi-

this purpose of deciding upon location for
the reason that the work of CONSTRUCT on

wayward girl, presented herself at the
county Jail, says the Eugene Guard, and an.
nounced that she was now ready to board
with the city for the next 80 days, the re-
mainder of her unexplred sentence. She
claimed to have been secreted in tine woods
near Judkln's point all the time, and was
nearly starved. Her appearance bore out
the statements made. She was locked up
in the female cell of the county Jail, where
the city will keep her for the present at
least. As to the person who liberated her,
she claimed to have no knowledge although
it was plain to be seen that she was pro.
tecting the scoundrel who should be given
long term in the penitentiary for the crime
Some means should be secured by which
this girl could be placed in some charitable
