Going to Find Mama.
By. HUGH YALpIMIR.

DfgAioPii Id
Twas bitter night in midwinter
\. When, wrapped in q faded old shawl, -
"A poor little child entered . train
Fast clasping battered race doll.
And she seemed to be all alone, =
And her little woebegone face
A pitiful tale OF sorrow told.
And of recent tears trace.
And not one of the many saw her
As she crouched in a corner seat,
Huddling her doll to her little breast,
picture so tOuchiDgly sweet,
As fadly she gaZed around the car
AS if seeking some loving face;
But none minded her questioning looks
Nor needed her childish grace.
The conductor in collecting fares
Caught sight Of the poor little child.
And he thought OF the wee ones at home,
And his voice was gentle and mild
As he said to her, "Dear little one, -.
How came you alone in the carr"
And huRging her doll she sweetly said,
"I'm going to find my MAMA"
"Going to find your mama, my child?
Do you know where she is 2" he said, :.
And with trembling lip che murmured low,
"Grammy tells me at home she's dead,
And dolly and me are all alone -
~ And is heaven so very far r.-
That we can't go there tonight,Ar?Gi iR~s
= For do want to see mamavrhW "-+.sa
And the tears rolled down her tiny cheeks
And fell on the face of her doll
= Like Il little angel strayed to earth ...
She looked in her faded old shawl <-l
And with one accord they all arose
And crowded around her seat,
Eager to do what they could for her,
The poor little waif of thestreet,
TFU "a I'll 'aFsE pus>ff =.
And many face, hardened and rough, fG
Felt moisture upon its cheek d
Rough voices grew tender and sweet
Al they tried to her, gently speak
For tits true that in each human heart,
No matter how low and vile,
Lingers a trace of love divine,
Unmarried unsullied by guile.
And they gave food to the little one,
Who, awearied, soon with her doll
Closely clasped in her arms, fell asleep
Wrapped up in her faded old shawl,
While the train dashed on in the darkness
Like a ;iend thro' valley and plain.
Then a crash, q shrek, all was over,
And derailed was the midnight train.
Kind hands and brave hearts soon were car
ing
For the bruised, the MANNED and the dead
Among whom, her doll closely huI ging,
Was child, so the papers read.
Her journey and life had both ended,
And her soul from the ruined car
Fled upward, TO md in Gods Kingdom,
Awaiting her child. her mama.

d Hs Didn't Bpy The corsets.

A very amusing circumstance occurred
in one of our dry goods stores few days
ago. A young man appeared among the
would-be purchasers and seemed quite
anxious to be quickly waited upon by one
of the young ladies. One Of those charm
ing lady clerks stepped in front of him and
signifed by the air with which she did it
that she was ready to attend to his wants.
He then produced from his pocket writing
pad and wrote, 81 want to purchase a
pair of corsets." This he handed to the
clerk, who read it and inwardly smiled.
She then spoke in loud voice, as if to
penetrate his very ear drums, asking, "What
size no, you want9' -Four women near by,
inspecting various kinds Of goods, looked
around inaan anxious manner. The clerk
saw her error and dashed off on the pad,
"What size do yoa.want?", As she did so
the ladies standing close by could easily see
1. she wrote. '.No. 20" he wrote back,
and the cclerk, reschsd back Of her for = box
containing this number, at the same time
asking smother lady clerk, "Whom do you
suppose the dummy wants them for?'
,For his wife, who else?" said the clerk
addressed, in loud voice. The lady wait
ing on the corset buyer was again obliged
to resort to the pad to find out what color
he wanted. "Sky blue" he wrote back.
SIC began to strike off . lot of paragraphs
to induce him to make up his mind to buy

and then he walked out quickly, leaving the
pad and giri to keep each other company.

A Mysterious Matter.

A very mysterious thing happened
here last week which those who are best
posted, have little to say concerning.
AS near as our reporter could learn the
affair happened Wednesday night, it be-
ing the elimination of conspiracy by
three individuals to kidnap Miss Blanche
Rothrock. The lady is a prominent
member of the Salvation Army here, her
home being at Hartland, Klickitat
county. On the evening stated a man
handed her note while she was at the
barracks, in which she was told that her
brother had been hurt by the upsetting
of load of hay, and urging her to come
home. The man who brought the note
volunteered to take her down the river
to Lyle, where another brother was to
meet her and take her home. She
started down the river with the man in
a small boat, but she never reached
Lyle. Whether the man repeDted, or
became frightened cannot be known, but
he brought her home Thursday morning
about 8 o'clock. We understand the
lady says she was down the river nearly
to Lyle, but as she left here about 9
O'Clock in the evening it is probable she
did not get as far down the river as she
supposed. 1t is also stated that the
man who took her away became COLI
science-smitten, at the girls artlessness
or moved by her oft-repeated prayers for
her brothers. safety and so brought her
back, advising her on parting to never
go away again with stranger.

Miss Fay Fuller, the eminent Mazan

Miss Fay Fuller, the eminent Mazam-
eress, has accepted a position as city
editor and reporter on the Pendleton
Tribune. Miss Fuller is said to be a
brilliant writer, and to have "nose for
news" We have never had the pleasure
of perusing anything from Miss Fuller's
pen, nor the additional pleasure of ex-
amining her 'fnoee for news" but we
recognize the fact that woman, lovely
woman, is rapidly forging ahead in the
fields of journalism, and gladly welcome
Miss Fuller into the newspaper fold, and
this the more readily and heartily since
our contemporary asserts that she is
f'one of the boys"

IN THE SAME BOAT.

China has asked this government to
intercede for her with Japan, and stop
the further advance of the Japanese
army. By the grapevine telegraph line
we have been enabled to obtain copy
of Secretary Gresham's reply to the re-
quest, which is as follows:
''Li Hung Chang, Peking, China, etc, ETC.:
''Your request for the kind offices of
this administration has been considered
by the cabinet. China's woes touched
tender spot in the presidents heart,
which has become both sore and sympa-
thetic since last Tuesday. The admin
istration will gladly do anything in its
power to alleviate China's sufferings,
and in return asks that the emperor in
tercede to save the administration from
utter humiliation. The republican
party is more bloodthirsty and aggres-
sive than the Japanese. We know how
it is ourselves.
''I have the honor to be etc., ETC., and
as badly licked as you are.

An Old Song.

When giants lived in ancient times,
Sing heigh, my boy, sing no!
In good old England or foreign climeS,
sing heigh, my boy, sing hoi
They carried things with high old hand,
Nor strong, nor weak, could before them stand,
And they killed whom they pleased throughout
the land,
Sing heigh, my boy, sing no!
But the giants didn't have things their
own way when Jack-the- Giant-kiler ar
rived on the scene. You remember the
story. Recollect, too, that every age has
its giant-killer. We have our giants in
the form of all sorts of dread diseases,
supposed to be incurahle. Our JACK Is
in the form of DIR. Pierce, whJ has
proven the expression ''incurable dis
eases" to be a fallacy. Can you i'm
agine more potent weapons to assist a
woman in killing the giant-disease,
than DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription? ?
It's the only guaranteed remedy for all
functional disturbances, painful dis
orders, and chronic weakness of woman
hood. In female complaints of every
kind, if it fails to benefit or cure, you
have your money back. It's simply a
question of the company you prefer

TWO STUPID BOYS.

Incidents of the BoyhoOd of Dean Stanley
and William E. Gladstone.
Dean Stanley once said to a little
boy: s'If tell you 1 was born in the
second half of 1915, can you tell me
why 1 am called Arthur?'' The name
of the hero of Waterloo was then on all
mems lips. When nine years of age
Arthur was sent to a preparatory
school. He was bright and clever, but
he couldn't learn arithmetic. DIR.
Boyd writes in Longman's Magazine
that the master of the school, Mr..
Rawson, declared that Arthur was the
stupidest boy at figures who ever came
under his care, save only one, who was
yet more hopeless, and was unable to
grasp simple addition and multipiea-
tion. Stanley remained unchanged to
the end. At Rugby he rose like a
rocket to every kind of eninence, ex-
cept that of doing ''sums." In due
time he took frst-class at Oxford,
where the classics and Aristotle's
Ethics were the books in which a stu
dent for honors must be proficient. He
would not have done as well at Cam
bridge, whose senior wrangler must be
an accomplished mathematician. On
the contrary, that other stupid boy,
''more hopeless than Stanley, de-
veloped phenomenal mastery of arith-
metic. He became the great finance
minister of after years, William E.
Gladstone, who could make budget
speech of three hours length and full
of figures, which so interested the mem
bers of the house of commons that they
filed the hall, standing and sitting till
midnight. The story has two morals.
One is that boy may be stupid in one
study and bright in all the remaining
studies. The other moral is, and it is
most important, that boy may over
come by hard study his natural repug-
nance to a certain study, and even be-
come an eminent master of it.

a Sunday Trip.

The steamer Regulator made special
trip to the Locks yesterday, the mana
gers of the company going down to see
what could be done about the new in
cline, and the handling of freight until
the latter was completed. The morning
was rather foggy but the day proved to
be perfect one. The river, bordered
with the golden foliage of the deciduous
trees, with the background of noble
pines and frs, was in one of it's quiet
moods, not a ripple appearing on the
surface. It was a delightful day for a
trip and those who failed to take advan-
tage of it missed treat. There were
not more than dozen besides the direc-
tors who made the trip, but they en-
joyed it enough for whole boat load.
