The Lessons Of the Times.

The present hard times have had
much to do with bringing to the sur
face many hitherto unknown methods
OF coping with Strengthened circum
stances. Families that have known
not what it Is TO economic have had
their energies taxed to make both ends
meet. Other families that have been
living on steady income have seen
that income reduced 10 or - per cent.
and in many cases cut off entirely,
and there is brought into requisition

door that comes little short OF genius

lilies are learning the expensive les
sons OF the times.
Similarly situated is the business
man. Men whose credit has hereto
fore filled any bill of goods they
might order, suddenly find wholesale
houses inquiring into their standing.
As result they must buy only what
there is reasonable assurance will be
soon sold; clerks and book keepers are
dismissed and ingenuity is taxed to
meet the demand for retrenchment.
The lessons to be learned from this
are costly ones, and being costly,
should be the deeper impressed upon
our habits OF living and methods OF
business.

THE LAKE WASHINGTON CANAL
Senator Squire is devoting special ef-
fort this winter to securing in the river
and harbor bill an appropriation to
begin work on the Lakes Union and
Washington canal. He has not met
with much encouragement, for the
committee announced its policy to be
to make no appropriations for any
new improvements at this session OF
Congress. 1t is the policy of the Dem
Ocratic members of this committee to
carry out this plan in every particular.
They are determined to keep down ap.
preparations, consequently do not give
Senator Squire any assurances relat.
ing to the canal proposition. Senator
Squire hopes the Senate will give al
least $500, 1000 to begin the work and
that the House will allow it to remain
in the bill. Although the canal would
be great public improvement, Con-
gress is determined to run the govern.
ment on business principles; that is
to live within its income.

Good morn, my blooming lassie,

THAT is a needless question,
The maiden quick replied,
There's but one place for bargains
The fact is not denied.

In everything you purchase,
Though it be wagon load.
THAT place is F.. e.. BiCkfOrd's

Near the hall they call Good Templar
A name we all revere.
There are stoves and lamps and tables,
And many household wares;

For setting up home,
Then why should one be homeless,
Why lonely longer roam:"

Dazed Jehu quick replies,

AN OLD QUEsTIoA+Congress is
likely to be engaged in profitless &C.
clesiastical fray over the old question
of putting God in the constitution,
precipitated by resolution brought in
by Senator Frye and Representative
Morse of Massachusetts. Interested
members are being deluged with mis-.
sives OF condemnation and protest
upon the project. The trouble seems
TO lie, not SO much in the purpose oil
the resolution set forth in its title, as
in that clause OF it which embodie.
the orthodox evangelical belief in
Christ. This is certain to stir the op.
position of Hebrew citizens and others,
and a foretaste of that opposition is
already making itself known.

THE COUNTY WINs.-Last Monday
the Supreme Court affirmed the judg'
ment of the Superior Court in the case
OF ]. C. Rathbun vs.. Thurston county.
The case grew out OF Mr.. Rathbun's
contract to do the county printing in
1890. He subsequently sod his paper
to Mr.. Price, and soon afterwards there
arose between them disagreement as
to the part Mr.. Price was to receive
for doing the county work. The Com
missioners then made q contract with
Mr.. Price for the balance of the year,
more favorable for the county than
the one it had with Mr.. Rathbun. Mr..
r. then brought suit for the amount
due him on his contract, alleging
Price was his agent. The Supreme
Court thinks he should have brought
his suit on a breach of contract by the
county. This is technicality familiar
to lawyers but plain laymen would
say that if the county owes Mr.. Rath.
bun anything ON his contract it ought
to pay him.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.

The DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
The original copy of the Declaration
OF Independence is in danger. 1t has
survived the revolutions of politics
and the commissions OF war, but the
lapse OF time seems to be fading its
face and deteriorating its substance.
For years it has been on exhibition in
the State Department library, but it is
to be placed in tin box and stored in
the archives. In lieu OF it fac SIM
lie will he on exhibition. Some years
ago it was noticed that the ink Oil the
original parchment was fading and it
has been gradually growing fainter
Recently chemists were called to ex-
anime it and they gave the opinion
that the full strength OF the ink could
be brought out again by coating it
with a chemical solution. But this
experiment was not tried, owing to
the fear that the precious paper might
be injured in some way, and also be-
cause no alteration or anything what
ever could be done to it without the
authority of an act of Congress. 1t
required an act OF Congress to convey
the declaration from Philadelphia to
Washington.

are still dying at about the rate of one a

have every comfort, but the disease kills
them in few hours, and they die with
out struggle. He left this morning for
Tygh Valley and will try change of
pasture, but is nonplussed, and does not
know what measures to adopt to stop
the ravages of the strange and fatal all
ment.

ONE or The BAD KIND.
But tho Forces OF Civilization are Yet
Stronger than Outlawry.

John Hull, murderer of Cummings,
is that sort of an individual who is often
represented as the hero in the litera-
quently the ideal of the small boy reader
of those works of stirring fiction. Now
that he has wound up in the un -Beadle
| like position of man to be tried for
murder and the occupant OF strong cell
in Wasco county Jail, such boys may
awake to a true realization of how these
bold bad men, who are dextrous with
the use of revolver and bowie, are
viewed by society at large.
Hull, according to his own story, told
in mock heroic style to Deputy Sheriff
Phirman, was born in Texas, and was
raised in ssMissoury." He has princi-
pally followed the occupation of a
freighter, and is always prepared for
surprises by liberal supply of guns and
ammunition, carried in leather belt
around his waist. He was good shot
and afraid of nothing. He was inter-
rupted at this point in his story by Mr..
Phirman politely asking him to remove
his shoes.
.'Sir,'H said the astounded prisoner
with the air of one who wishes to i'm
press his questioner that he has made a
mistake, which he is liable to answer
for with his life.
"Take off your shoesl'' repeated Mr..
Phirman, with a little more command
in his tone.
'sWhat for?'' insisted Hull, but be-
ginning to weaken,
'sTake 'em off," said Mr.. Phirman
for the third time, and the look of the
eye which Hull met convinced him that
the deputy really wanted them off.
That was all, the test of strength had
been made, without violent movement,
and the prisoner meekly took off his
shoes, and after an examination of all
his clothing, submissively followed the
officer to the cell awaiting him.
The thirty-two years of life among a
rough element where the me-of educa-
ton is to be ''handy'' with a revolver
availed nothing to Mr.. Hull after he had
committed a crime. and in the lore
going tale lies moral which boys who
read yellow-b backed novels instead of
history and good books may we'll heed.

A Peculiar People.

A. Leroy, D. D., as promised, lectured
last evening on GA Peculiar People" !"
As the speaker announced in his OPEN
ing remarks, it proved to be a peculiar
lecture. Nevertheless it was lecture,
and in it were said many wise things.
Mr.. Leroy is something of an artist,
also, and the lecture was illustrated with
paintings of peculiar people whom he
had met, among them Hulda Lewis,
Boss Tweed and the Yelled Murderess,
all of national good or bad repute. The
three eccentric governors were the
object of some keen shafts from Mr.. Le-
Roy. Referring to Pennoyer he said he
was great man in some respects, but
with the privilege of the audience he
would exhibit CRATER. He then un-
wrapped a package and exhibited tin
greater, purchased from one of our hard
ware stores. Mr.. Leroy has changed
his opinion of the governor since the
latter's desertion of the democratic
party.

FISH AND SNAKE YARNS.

UNCLE EPH PLUNKETT, of Mira bella
Falls, Tex, has taught a rattlesnake
to shake his tail to music.
THREE THOUSAND salmon, it is
claimed, were landed by Samuel Good
win with one haul of net near Port
Angelo, Wash, recently.
Mrs. o. P. PAYNE, of Gainesville, Ga,
killed thirteen rattlesnakes in the lot
around her home, with piece of fence
rail, a few days ago. They averaged
about two feet in length each.
AN old Maine fisherman has been
living in a dory all summer, cruising
about Penobscot bay catching and cur
ing fish. He has camped in rough
fashion on the islands, hasn't slept in
bed since last May, and AYERS he has
had very fine time.
ONE curious result of the hurricane
that struck the southern coast recent
ly was the killing of quantities of fish.
For many days after the storm the
coast around Savannah and throughout
the stretch where its force was most
vented was strewn with dead fish of all
kinds.
POISONOUS snakes are so numerous
in Venezuela that snake bite is almost
as common there as in India. But there
are fewer fatalities. for the natives
have discovered that plant known as
the ocumillo, when powdered and ap-
piled to the wound, results in cure in
almost every case.
