In the summer of 1864 several wounded
officers and two or three privates were GO
ing up the valley of Virginia. A rain came
on, and all hands took shelter for the night
in a schoolhouse.
1t happened that in the course of the
night a skunk found its way under the
floor. and by and by announced it's pres
ence after its well known effective manner
The officers all walked up, but being gem
tlemen and each supposing that the others
were still asleep they all kept silent. At
last one of the privates, a German, could
restrain himself no longer.

bad. Dey shleeps und l wakes, und l ish

That broke the charm, and officers and
privates burst into peals of laughter

Not Altogether Harmonious.
The choir was singing a new arrange
mcnt of the beautiful anthem, "Consid-
er the Lilies" The pure, sweet voice
of the soprano rose clearly and distinct
ly in the solo:
They toi-oi-oil not,
They toll not,

She paused, and the tenor took up the
strain:
Nee-ee-ee-ther do they spin.
They toi-oi-oi-oil not,

Nee-ee-ee-ther do they spin.
The tenor ceased, and the basso, a SOL
emn, red haired young man, with a
somewhat worldly looking eye and a
voice like a foghorn, broke in:
Nay-ay-ay-ay-ther do they spin.
They toi-oi-oi-oil not,

He Was Puzzled.

A southern writer reports the question OF
a raw recruit who perhaps was not quite
so raw as he seemed.
AT one Of the posts of the signal corps
near Culpeper an infantryman lounged up
to the man on duty and seemed deeply in
terested in his maneuvers. The signalman
paid no attention to the newcomer, but con-
tinued to flop away right and left" with
his flag.

The crow has always loved mis-
chief, but his FRANKS have not always
been malicious, as were too many Of
the jokes of a bird that bore the name
of Richie, which as a pet name for
birds was surely not an improvement
upon time honored Dickie. This
crow, which was kept by a lady in
Ireland, used to be fed on biscuit and
water from his mistress window, and
it was not an uncommon thing for
him to seize the tumbler in his bill
and dash it to the ground. Some
times he would enter a room on the
sly and amuse himself by taking the
corks out Of bottles and pouring their
contents I'VE the carpet, OF by scat
tering pins, papers, letters, ornaments
and the like on the floor.
One day he flew away with a pen
Gil and perched on a tree close by.
TO punish him his mistress refused
to know him and pushed him away
from the window the next time he
came for food. In a short time he
returned, bearing the stolen pencil
unframed except that the rubber
end piece had vanished. Gravely
laying it down OF the window sill,
he bowed and cawed in his best
style, as if to sly, Come, now, let
us be friends ag;in."-Irish Times.

to him. "Sleep? l sleep all night like d

"Whose baby?" queried a nervous har-

repeated in harsh, grating tones, that
alarmed every passenger in the car, for they
did not know he had been a parent only a

Pooling the Savage.

Although the match has long since
%supplanted the finder box, thousands
of the Anticipated light producers are
still made. Adventures often take
a flint and finder box with them on
trips, knowing from experience that
If slower than a match it is certainly
surer, and in addition to the demand
this creates there are back country
regions in Europe where the match
is comparatively unknown even now.
Then again the white man, with his
usual ultra sensitiveness, does not see
any harm in shipping finder boxes,
and even the Oldest kinds of gun fints,
to the savages of Africa, who derive
sincere delight from using them, es-
pecially as the traders are careful to
explain that the one is an improve
ment on the match and the other a
great stride toward perfection in fire

some ELECTION Notes.

The proposition to consolidate New
York City, Brooklyn and other suburbs
was carried by majority of $4,000.
This will give New York City popula-
ton of about 100000, making it the
second city in the world.
The republicans IN Washington will
have majority over both democrats and
populists, and the populists have nearly
twice the strength of the democrats,
hence it will be seen the democracy in
Washington cut but sorry figure.
Idaho has gone republican and elected
legislature of that same complexion.
The Mormon vote was against the dem
ocrats. Latah county, Idaho, elected a
populist ticket and three populist mem
bers of the legislature.
The republicans claim Wilson's defeat
in West Virginia by 1000 but the demo-
Gratis do not yet Soncede that he is de-

from South Carolina, six are in favor oi

Al. Carter is lying at the point of
death in the building on the northwest
corner of Court and First street, from
the effects of an overdose of morphine
taken with suicidal intent. All day long
he has existed only by the aid of artifi-
cial respiration, and it is only question
of few hours until even this will not be
sufficient to hold the vital spark. It
seems Carter, who is of an excellent
family, has been the alter ego of Miss
BERTHE Stewart. Some time since she
sent him to San Francisco, but he re-
turned a day or two ago. Being refused
admittance to his old home his tender
and weary heart collapsed and he put an
extra dose of morphine where it will do
the most good. At 4 O'Clock this after
noon he was alive, but that was about
all.

And Trade Is Lively.

Mr.. E. G. Pease is about the busiest
han in town always excepting the re-
PORTER, who has to chase items.) AS we
passed the big store this morning, just
from force of habit we sprung our ven
cradle request for an item on him, fol-
lowed by its twin as to "How's busi-
ness" We nearly fell off the sidewalk
when he unhesitatingly replied, "Busi-
ness is remarkably good, and getting
better every day." Getting firm grip
on our diffidence, we proceeded to in
vestigate, and ventured another ques-
ton of Chow do you account tor bust
ness being good with wool at nothing
and wheat selling at 80 cents bushel?"
"Don't pretend to account for it, but
take it as it is, for it is a fact. We have
added recently three to our force of sales
people, and all of us are kept busy wait
ing on customers, even with this largely
increased force. 1t is accounted for
partly by the fact that we are selling
our goods on very narrow margins, and
that we have very large stock of every
thing, bought for cash and at bedrock
prices-and all new. The lesson of the
hard times, which are now passing
away, has not been forgotten by the
people, who desire to make their money
go as far as possible, and SO look around
for bargains, and finding our goods
what they want, and our prices better
even than they expected, we get their
trade. Where the money comes from
we don't pretend to say, but it is GER
tain fact that 81 will buy almost as
much, and certainly asgood, as 81 would
year ago.
| Anyone who will take the trouble to
note the number of cars unloading at
the Pease & Mays warehouse, will be
convinced that Mr.. Pease statement is
correct, and that in spite of the cry of
''hard times,'' people are buying more
goods and better quality than they ever
did before, and they are paying cash for

BRIEF MENTION.
Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle

Everything is quiet down at Mosier,
but one of the cases has been transferred
to the district court.

Klickitat county gave good republican
majorities for the state and legislative
ticket, and elected most of the county
ticket. The election of Ward for treas
urer, Jarratt assessor, and Maddox
prosecuting attorney, all democrats,
is claimed, but their election is doubt
full.
The case of Matthews against Williams
which was up before Justice Davis yes
terday, was laid on the table, so to
speak, the parties thinking they had
reached a compromise. Getting outside
of court their compromise fell through,
SO the case will be tried this evening
with the assistance of jury.
There was lively runaway on Third
street yesterday afternoon, pair of big
gray horses making things lively for a
little while. When our reporter saw
them they had nothing attached to
them but single-tree, but that was
flying arovnd promiscuously. They
were caught near Ward & .Kerns stable.
