He Rode the Bronco.

hack riding was the finest exercise in the

He Trusts IN HIS Dog.

The sovereign in Europe who stands most
in need of friend and companion whose
fidelity and loyalty are above all suspicion
is the unfortunate Gar, who, like his pred.
ecessors on the throne of Peter the Great,
has so often found himself deceived and be
trayed by just those Of his courtiers, his
officials, and even his relatives upon whom
he had bestowed the greatest amount Of
kindness.
Under these circumstances il Is not aston
ishing, says the New York Tribune, that he
should place his principal relianc, on su
perb and huge Danish dog, with short,
mouse colored hair, and quite as big rs q
young donkey.
The dog, gift of his falherin law, King
Christian, of Denmark, is the successor OF
a similar hound, which lost is life in the
terrible railroad accident at Borki, when
the imperial train was entirely destroyed,
the Car and Czarins escaping all injury,
save the shock TO their nerves. in the most
miraculous manner. Alexander's present
dog is not only by his side when he walks
out aud asleep beside his bed at night, but
is also present when he grants audiences,
shifting at strangers in an inquirIng and
sometimes suspicious manner, which is not
without exercising certain influence upon

THE OLD FIVE-DoLLAR Bill.

They're talkin' bout the tariff bill-the silver
bill an all
They wrangle through the summer an they
quarrel till the fall;
But OF all the bills from Biilville, the one
we're wAntin' still
Is the bill that buys the boardin'-the old fiye-
dollar bill
You NAV rumple it. an cruInple it, an twist
an turn il round.
An stuff il in vour pocket, where it seems to
weigh pound;
Or hide it in your wooden sock, or in your
bouts but still,
There's never any discountin' of the old FIVE
dols bill
It's greasy as a kitchen from goin' round so
much.
But teller amt particular when it's ticklin'
of his touch
An the biggist bill from Billville-an' the
one we're wantin' still
Is the rumpled mp. an crumpled up, old-time
five dollar bill

returned to the vicinity of the town hall
and resumed the attack with increased
violence. They entered the home of the
town clerk and murdered him and his
wife. and after iooting the premises de-
parted, carrying the heads OF their victims

VIII Re Appointed Internal Revenue
Collector This Week or NexI

WASHINGTON CRY. Dec ll-TSpeciai. T.
Although 1t is the avowed policy of the
administration not to make removals of
Republicans in Office. leaving them to
serve out their terms, 10 Is more than
likely that IL will not be strictly carried
out in the present case of the collector of
internal revenue for the district of Oregon
and Washington. Tho term OF the pres
ent collector. Col. Milton W. Weidler, of
Portland. does not expire until some time
in February. He is an applicant for re-
tention, but has not even the ghost of
chance. The leading man all along has
been Munday. of Washington. and the
only real strength that has at any time
developed against him has been the candi-
dacy OF Henry Biackman. ex-msyor and
ex-state senator. of Heppner. Or. Black
man has the support of the entire Jewish
element in Oregon. and this Is no small
matter. But Blsckman. who used TO be a
prosperous merchant of the interior, de-
generated when he went into politics,
neglected his business, lost his small for
tune aud is now simply an otfice-seeking
politician. 1t must not be supposed that
such information as this about q man can
he confined 90 the state where he resides.
When he comes up for appointment TO a
Federal Office there will always be some
one who will make it his business to post
the department on the faiIings OF some
one applicant whom he does not like. In
this way each individual applicant may
fnd on file in one of the department hero
a complete history Of his life work good,
bad and indifferent During the past few
days flood Of letters have been received
from Portland by Secretary Carlisle, urg-
ing the appointment of Blackmsn. There
is nothing in these. however. TO overthrow
the good impression already made by the
Endorsements of Munday. There is no
reason 10 change the assurance given in
these dispatches several days ago that the
Vancouver man viii be the victor. The
appointment will almost certainly be
made before Christmas. as IL is desired
that the registration Of the Chinese. for
which the department IL now nearly
ready, shall begin and be carried to q con-
clusion under the new collector.
