A TEXAS QUERY-Fhe Marshall
(Texas) Star would like to have an
answer to q difficult question.
Here is the way the Star propounds
it:
Here is query which we would
be pleased to have some Of our ma
ny readers answer: A man walked
into an Ell Paso, Tex, saloon, got a
drink and threw down an American
silver dollar. The bartender gave
him as change Mexican silver dol
lar, which is worth ninety cents.
The fellow crossed the Rio Grande
river, which, by the way, is the Dor
der line between the United States
and Mexico, entered q dive and call
ed for another drink to assuage his
thirst. After drinking he gave the
bartender his Mexican silver dollar
and received in exchange az Amer
lean silver dollar, which is only
worth 90 cents there. For the last
year this man has followed out the
same program Of going across the
border line and drinking alternate
ly in the United States and Mexico,
sometimes fifteen Or twenty drinks
q day, receiving in change a Mex
lean and an American silver dollar,
and during that time has always
had bis drinks free, and to-day has
the same old American silver dollar
with which he started into business.
Now, the question is, who pays for
the drinks, as the bar tenders are
all satisfied"

mir. Cleveland.
DR.. IasbrOuck Explains What
he Did say.

DR.. Hasbrouck himself gives out
a deaial Of the reputed interview
with him which was published in
the Philadelphia Press. To two
newspaper men who saw him at his
residence, he repudiated it entirely
and gave out a statement Of the
real facts as already reported. He
said:
"At no time have | stated that a
surgical operation Of dangerous
character was performed on Mr.
Cleveland. On the contrary, have
sought to allay anxiety ever since
the false reports became current.
It is time that two Of his teeth were
removed, but this was accomplish
ed without anything like serious
result. There was removed beside
the teeth, a portion, a slight por-
ton, Of diseased tissue and
bone back Of the nose. As to the
disease which occasioned the opera
ton, it was not anything in its ma
ture like that with which General
Grant was afflicted. ] would add
chat there were no indications Of
sarcoma. What the President had
been suffering from was liberated
teeth. The affection had extended
to and back Of what we know as
the antrum. AS is usual in such
cases it was necessary in order to
effect a complete cure to remove a
portion Of the bone and tissue that
had become diseased. There was
inothing rem arkable about the case,
or anything unusual as we have
similar cases almost every day in
the practice Of dental surgery
Consequently | see no reason why
there should be the least alarm.
The affection is not considered at
all dangerous, and is something
which anyone is likely to have
The operation was performed the
day after the party boarded the
yacht. DR.. Bryant was assisted by
Dr.. WV. Keen, Of Philadelphia
and myself. State.

1t is now acknowledged by the
staunchest opponent of the uncon-
ditOnal repeal Of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman law that the
opposition to repeal it IS gradually
melting away. A majority Of the
Senators will vote for repeal when
vote can be reached, and the only
delay that can arise after all the
Senators have been given an oppor-
tunity to express their Sentiments
will be by fllibustering. II what
extent fllibustering will be car
ried is not yet apparent, but it is
certain that number Of Senators
who are strongly opposed to uncOn-
ditional repeal-such men as Nor
gan, Of. Alabama, and PETER, Of
Kansas,-will refuse to aid in fill
clustering to prevent a vote, and
Senator Worthless, who is i'll charge
of the repeal bill, has given notice
Of his intention to use extreme
measures, il necessary, to force a
vote upon the bill, as soon it lie
comes apparent that the debate is
being prolonged for no other pur-
pose then to stave off. a vote. 1t is
now thought by those who favor
repeal that vote can be reached
in two, or at the outside three
weeks. The gamblers are usually
good judges of the way the wind
blows and they are offering odds
that the purchasing clause OF the
Sherman law will be repealed be-
fore the first Of October. Still, ii
is certain that the bill will not pass
the Senate without a bitter strug-
gle, which will probably be one OF
the most memorable in the history
of the Senate. This struggle is
expected to begin with continu-
Gus session Of the Senate. wher
the attempt will be made to weal
out the opposition, and thus force
q vote.

Antiquity Of Grains.

Nearly all the grains in use are
of unknown antiquity. Wheat was
cultivated in all ATTITUDES as far
back in the past as we have anthem
tic knowledge. Barley is thought
to have originated in the Caucuses
but it was known and used every
where in the most ancient times.
Oats, Ike rye, were unknown in an
cient India and Egypt and among
The Hebrews. The Greeks and Ro-
mans receive it from the north Of
Europe. Had there been an early
civilization on this continent the
wild oats found here and there
would probably have developed in
to- the useful cereal now considered
absolutely essential to the proper
nourishment Of horses. This con-
tinent is credited with having CIV
en- Indian corn to the old world,
but this useful cereal was doubtless
known in India and China many
hundred years before the discovery
Of America.
| Cotton was used for making gar
ments in India at date so remote
that it cannot even be guessed at
The fact is mentinoed by Aristotle.
The first seeds were brought to
this country in 1921. In 1866 the
culture is mentioned in the records
Of South Carolina. In 1886 the
culture was general along the east
ern coast Of Maryland, and in 177e
we heard of it as far north as Cape
May. The use Of flax for making
clothing is nearly as ancient as
that Of cotton and perhaps more SC
plants of soft and flexible fiber
having been without doubt among
the first vegetable productions of
the ancient world and their pract-
| ical value discovered soon after the
invention of weaving. San Fran

TOO MUCH SMOKE.
The Valley Filled With Clouds from
Mountain Fires.

A man who had smoked 80 years
was told the good Of the habit was an
illusion and debarred from seeing the
smoke no pleasure was to be derived
from 1t. As an experiment the man
shut himself up in dark room, which
resulted in his throwing of the habit
and declaring that the essence of smOk-
ing was in seeing it.
People of the Willamette valley now
have the sight of smoke without any
imaginary pleasurable sensation. There
is more than usual throughout the val
ley. 1t hovers like fog over the city
and has settled In every canon of the
valley and it is becoming more dense
as it is waited by every passing breeze
from the mountains to the lower lands.
Objects at a distance are no longer dis
cernible and the range of vision is
shortened as the smoke becomes thicker.
The presence of smoke in the valley
at this season is well understood by old
residents. Though more than usual at
this season of the year now pervades
the air, there is more or less every sum-
mer.
Fires are raging in the Coast Range
and Cascade mountains at this season
which accounts for the smoke that en-
velops the valley. Many of the fires
are started by land clearers who are
burning their slsshings; but they often
start from other sources.
When everything is dry as at pres
emf, it is almost impossible to keep the
fires from getting start. Then there
are great many berry pickers In the
mountains who, through carelessness
often allow fire to start from then
camp, and once started it soon becomes
uumanageable. Surveying parties are
also sometimes responsible for these
fires. Then they are often started fol
malicious purposes by unprincipled
squatters, who would rather see fine
body of timber destroyed than allow
any other claimant to possess it. Such
crimes are too heinous to go unpunish.
ed, but it Is very difficult matter to
discover and convict the perpetrators,
1t is charged that the latter cause ac-
counts for some of the devastating fire.
that are now raging in the Cascades.
These fires are imp0verishing the state
and destroying some as fine timber as
grows in America.
Old settlers can remember when the
summer fires were started by the In
dians and when it was dangerous to be
caught in the path of the flames. In
the year 1858, as man was coming
from the vicinity of where SilvertoD
now stands, he was overtaken by q
spreading fire and his team of mules
burned alive,
The smoke renders the air very un-
wholesome, and people of the valley
will look forward with anxiety for the
fall rains this season, to purify the air
and dissipate the smoke.

What German BOYS DRINK.

German boys who work in the open air
all day long every day in the year except
school days get very thirsty, of course,
and must drink great deal. The Ger
man mothers, to keep their boys well and
hardy, are very expert in making nour-
ishing drinks for them. Honeyade is the
favorite outdoor drink for German boys.
1t is made in this way: An ounce of
ginger is boiled for an hour in quarts
of water. Then quarts Of cold water,
a pound of sugar, an ounce of lime juice
and 2 ounces of clear sweet honey are
added. When all is cold, the white of an
egg iswhipped in and lemon is squeezed
over the honeyade jar. The sturdy lit
tie Germans are allowed to drink their
weight, as the saying is, of this.-Se-

told in Washington that when his nibs
was in Chicago, living in the grandest
sort of grand style in the Auditorium, he
wrote to the president expressing regret
that he would be delayed in reaching
Washington for the purpose of paying
his respects to the chief executive. An
immediate reply was sent excusing him
from that perfunctory courtesy and ad-
vising him that arrangements had been
made for his return to Spain. Where
upon he took the hint and went.-How-
