That 1t had while ago.
And as sure as we're poet,

With big long-handled shovel,
Digging bitches in the snow,
After a few months of silence, 1 will
put in a few items of our berg as part
ing reminder of the old year.
The farmers are busy preparing for
the winter, hauling hay and traw, put
ting the farm implements under shelter,
etc. No very great amount of fall plow-
ing has been done around Dufur and
vicinity, on account of the frozen condi-
tion of the ground; but as soon as al
lowable the farmers will make up for
lost time.
The weather of late has been damp
and threatening, while most of Monday
there was a heavy fog, which was cold
and penetrating. Good sleighing

Dufur is enjoying "black Christmas
DR.. Kane was called away by tele-

Mrs. Sunderland has returned to

Miss Belle Gibson has gone to her

Grandpa Dufur, who has been very

Christmas eve the ladies of the w. G..

They spared no pains to make the even

which he values very highly. 1t came

know. Rev. Barnhart gave fewl fitting
remarks Master William Gulliford re-
cited "Boys Are Wanted" in a clear,
loud voice for one so young. Ralph Can
trell and Garfield Easten recited their
declamations with credit for boys of their
ages One of the best things of the even
ing was recitation by Theresa Mark
ham, entitled ''What the Bells Said at
Christmas" which was very effectively
rendered and we'll appreciated by the
audience, after which tinkling of bells
told that old Santa was at the door, and
caused stir and a craning of necks
among the juvenile portion of the
audience. Every child was made happy
by some gift bestowed by the wonderful
Santa Claus, while those too old to feel
the mystical charm of his presence,
sighed,
Turn backward, turn backward,
o, time in your flight
Make me child again,
Just for tonight
After the distribution of the gifts, the
crowd dispersed with their hearts full of
cheer and feeling of "peace on earth,
good will to men,"
Christmas night dance was given at

crowd was in attendance and all enjoys d

THE BICYCLING WOMAN.

According to the verdict of q jury of
women, exercise ON the bicycle by women
Is modest, becoming and advantageous
to their sex. "--Rochester Democrat.
A jury of representative women have
consented to sit upon the question of bicy-
cling for women and have, of course decid-
ed that it is, when properly used as an ex-
erciso for health and pleasure, good and
modest thing.-Boston Transcript
1t is said that in New York and New
England 20, 900 women are riding the BIZ
cycle. In view of this fact it is evident
that the critics who object to fair femi-
ninity on a wheel will find their objec-
tions overridden. Baltimore American.
Bishop Coke is outvoted to l. Frances
e. Willard, Kate Field, Lady Henry Som
erset, Jeanette Glider, Mrs NJ. Il. w.
Sherwood and Dr. Grace Peckham Murray
have all written that bicycle riding for
women is not immodest. That settles 1t,
of course. Boston Globe.
The popular verdict, we believe, agrees
with the opinion of these we'll known
women, and girls and women may ride the
bicycle as much as they please. If there
are still some prudes who do not like the
looks of woman on a wheel, they should
look in some other direction. Springfield

Last spring had occasion to take q

had bought at the last station a man
came along and dropped into tho seat
with me. After had finished my paper
passed it over to NY companion, and
later we fell into discussing the news.
Chief among the items Of interest was
the latest gossip in regard to tho tariff
bill, and we soon came 10 that.
'How are you on the tariff question:"
I asked.

"And your children will have more

"Well rather" he replied. "It was

ters but Mr.. Hoyt and Captain Gray
both write the colonel that Mr.. Jerrold
had been taking no care of himself
whatever and was entirely out of form. ~
SIN any event, I'm glad the cavalry
did no better" was Miss Renwick's
loyal response. "You remember the
evening we rode out to the range, and
Captain Gray said that there was the
man who would win the first prize from
Mr.. Jerrold-that tall cavalry sergeant
who tainted away-Sergeant Mcleod.
Don't you remember, mother? Well,
he did not even get o place, and Mr..
Jerrold beat him easily"
Something in her mothers eyes warn

Unable but unerring system Of feminine
telegraphy called her attention to the
man sitting by the door. Looking quick
ly to her right, Miss Renwick saw that
he was intently regarding her. At the
mention of Fort Sibley the stranger had
lowered his paper, revealing bronzed
face clean shaven except for the thick
blond mustache and pair Of clear,
steady, searching blue eyes under heavy
brows and lashes, and these eyes were
very deliberately yet respectfully fixed
upon her own, nor were they withdrawn
in proper confusion when detected. 1t
was Miss Renwick whose eyes gave up
the contest and returned in some sense
of defeat to her mothers face.
"What letters have you for the colo
nel?" asked Mrs. Maynard, coming all

the same thing. 1 declare, I don't see
how they can speak to him at all, he
has been so harsh and discourteous and
unjust. " The color was rising in earnest
now, but warning glance in her moth
er's eye seemed to check further words.
There was an instant's silence. Then
Aunt Grace remarked
"Alice, your next door neighbor has
vanished. 1t think your vehemence has
frightened him. "
Surely enough, the big, blue eyed
man in tweeds had disappeared. During

Evidently he did. The driver refined

stranger.

ring to 1.-THE tone that one so readily
recognizes in men accustomed to prompt
action and command "I'm going across

with quick, elastic steps and erect car
riage, the man in gray plunged into a
wood path and was gone.
"Alice," said Aunt Grace again,
