The Lost Boy Found.
company


The boy Ryan who was lost last week,
has returned home. It seems he went
visiting to some friends, apparently un-
conscious of the worry and trouble
he was causing his parents and those
with whom he had been stopping by his
action. When one considers the amount
of'sympathy his absence has awakened,
and the terrible suspense of his parents,
the inclination to assist in giving him a
good spanking is almost irresistible.
The "Lost Herr so touchingly des-
cribed by Tom Hood, explains ones
feelings perfectly. In that case it viii
be remembered after crying her eyes out
and extolling her lost "darlint'' as the
very perfection of childhood, the good
mother in the midst of her grief, 'scIaps

Judging from the manner in which
the members of the Press Association
were welcomed and entertained during
their stay in Pendleton last week, the
climate of Umatilla county must be es-
pecially conducive to geniality. Every
member of the reception committee, as
we'll as the citizens generally, did his
utmost to entertain, as did also the resi-
dents of Milton, where they were in
vited to spend portion of Wednesday.
And so the members of the association
returned to their fields of labor not
only benefited by their deliberations,
but with better idea of what real cor
diality is, and with a determination to
aid that section of the country as best
they can in securing every means for
The development of it's resources, which
are truly wonderful.

The Forbidden Fruit.

Many are the attempts to identity the
forbidden fruit. Some cay it was the
fig, others the grape, others again the
pomegranate; but the most Arabian
Nightish" description, paints it as an ear
of wheat, which looked like a ruby and
was as big as an ostrich egg, and grew on
a tree whose trunk was like gold, its
branches like silver and its leaves
emerald.
Our first parents were expelled about
8 O'Clock of the afternoon of Friday, the
10th of May, having resided in Eden
seven years, two months, two weeks and
three days. Adam was banished to Cey-
lon and Eve to Mecca, and they re-
mained apart for 200 years. Adam,
according to some accounts, spent half
this time weeping, with his face to the
earth; others, less charitably, aver that
his solitude was cheered by Lilith, who
resumed her former relations with him.
When he repented and rejoined Eve,
he begged that something might be given
him from the happy garden of innocence
which he had forfeited, and loI in an

The Arkansna Kiss.

Something like year ago, while edit
ing the Glacier at Hood River, it became
our painful duty to write up kissing
match that occurred between young
lady who had just arrived from Arkan-
sas and her onliest only, who had pre-
ceded her, and whom she had not seen
for a year. That match occurred on the
arrival of the west bound passenger
train, in charge of Conductor Glenden-
ming, time o'clock p. m. Glendenning
held the train SO that the passengers
could take notes of the result, and
charged the delay up to the Colum bia
river scenery. We said at the time
there was nothing on earth to equal the
kissing power of an Arkansas girl, and
this assertion has received ocular and
osculatory proof.
A few days ago three other Arkansas
ladies arrived on the morning train, and
the first hugging match was multiplied
by three. Those who saw it cay it was
worth going miles to see, and that when
lip met lip and broke away again there
was a sudden smacking together of the
air that resembled the expiring gurgle
of bathtub. The girls each singled
out her fellow and went for him then
and thar.
Since that occurrence every old bache-
lor in Hood River has been inquiring
the price of tickets to Little Rock, and
each and every one of them declare that
the recent cyclone at that place was the
result of a kissing bee in the next
county. Charley Miller was in charge
of che train, and as an advertisement OF
the scenic beauties of the route, held
the train for five minutes, and until the
male members of the kissing party be-
gan to show signs of weakening.
