UNCoNvINCED.-Many and strange
are the innocent sophistries of child
hood in gaining its point. How quick
ly they learn even to distrust the evi
dences of their senses! A little cir
who was addicted to prodigal use o.
sugar upon her oatmeal, had been put
upon an allowance of a reasonable
number of spoonfuls.
Que morning she had been given the
specified quantity, but presently asked
"Mamma, may have just one spoon
full more?"
mo, dear"
"By-aud-by some one noticed that
the little girl was sitting sulkily
before her untasted plate, and inquired
"Why don't you eat your oatmeal
Kitty ?"
IL can't; it isn't sweet enough"
"Nonsense !" said mamma. "Don'l
be a little fuss-budget. Try spoon
full and you'll like it,"
"But if you only knew how sour it
isl" said Kitty, tragically.
Mamma good-naturedly took q
spoonful.
"Eat it Immediately, DEAR" she said
with decision. "It tastes quite sweet
enough"
Kitty obediently took up her spoon,
but she had one more remark TO make
"It may caste sweet" she said, re,
signedly, "but, mamma, it isn't sweet" ."

THE LATEST MAN ALIvE.-In an
English country village there has just
been buried the LATEST man alive
Lazy Tom would do nothing in the
shape of work.
The village folk, getting tired of him,
determined to make him work OF
bury him alive. Accordingly they
procured rough-made coffin, and the
leader of the party explained to Tom
their intentions. Tom refused to work
so without more ado they put him into
the coffiu, formed a procession, and
started for the burying-ground.
After going some distance, a Gotta
ger, seeing the funeral" and not hav-
ing heard of death, asked who it was,
On being told who it was, she request
ed the party to give Tom one more
chance.
The coffin was put down, and the
cottager said:
"Now, look here, Tom ; have got
lot of beans in my shed, enough to keep
you alive for awhile. You can have
them, and when they are gone, per-
haps you will feel inclined to work. "
"What do you say to that ?" said the
leader of the party.
"Be the beans shelled ?" drawled out
Tom.
"No," said the cottager.
Closing his eyes, Tom murmured,
"Go on with the funeral

AN EXASPERATED LANDLoRD.-A
tale comes from the Nutmeg State o.
a man who travelled much and was
we'll known~wherever he went by
hotel men andRothers as "proverbia
kicker" Nothing was ever good
enough or bad enough, hot enough ol
cold enough, rich enough or poor
enough for him. One day he went tc
one of the best hotels in the State and
put up for the night. His fame had
preceded him, and the landlord gave
orders to high and low to serve him
with the best, and to wait on him with
alacrity. His wishes were all antici'
pated that night, and he went to bed
as happy as man like him could be
with nothing to growl about. In the
morning extra pains were taken with
his breakfast, after which the landlord
went and inquired if everything was
all right, adding that he trusted his
breakfast had been satisfactory.
"Well, it was fair" admitted the
guest, "but like breakfast to be hot
This wasn't hot enough"
every well, SIR" responded the ex.
asperated landlord, "we have done our
best for you. There is, however, only
one place so hot your breakfast would
be sure to please you. You'd better
60 there" And walked off.

STORING IRISH POTATOES THE
conditions for keeping potatoes are
very simple. These conditions, as
briefly stated by Country Gentleman,
are "a uniform, cool temperature in a
place that is neither too wet nor too
dry.n In an ordinary cellar when the
temperature can be kept at about 40
degrees and where no water soaks
upon the floor, they can be stored 10
feet deep and in any quantity. If the
bottom is damp, it should be covered
with Stats raised three or four inches.
The above statement covers all points
to be observed in the construction of a
storehouse or keeping its contents.

THEY SHOULD SIGN.

Up in Umatilla county the home OF
the leading member of the railroad COM
mission, the people, his townsmen and
neighbors are circulating a petition to
the legislature for reduction in freight
rates on grain from Eastern Oregon
points. And yet that same lot of rail-
road commissioners who cannot, or will
not, fix a grain rate that will let the
farmer exist, are asking the legislature
to continue them in power. that they
may live at the public crib, and eat of
the taxes gathered from the masses
whom they either cannot or will not
serve. While freight rate on wheat of
61k cents a hundred exists from this
point to Portland, .S8 miles, and Is cents
n hundred from Biggs. 100 miles, no
railroad commission should be allowed
to exist to further prevent the railroad
company from reducing rates. as the o.
r. & N. did last summer when the COM
missioners got off its back and gave it a
chance. The reduction in wheat rates
last summer by the o. R. & N. was
made voluntarily by that company while
the railroad commissioners were taking
= vacation. At that time Col. Eddy was
edifying the newspaper men of the East
General Compson was teaching the
militia of Oregon the difference between
hay-foot and straw-foot; Major Macrum
was on the actively retired list, while
Private Baker was taking a go-as-you-
please through the Cascades hunting fo1
road for the commissioners to conquer.
We suggest that in the interest of the
people of Eastern Oregon, the railroad
commissioners ought to sign that petit
tion from Eastern Oregon. They ought
to do something towards earning their
salaries.

Mrs. Dekum's Allowance.

In department No. of the circuit
court of Multnomah county, Judge Shat
tuck yesterday handed down decision
affirming the action of the county court
in the. appeal of Adolph and Edward
Dekum, executors of the estate of Frank
Dekum, deceased, from the decision of
the probate court, ordering that Mrs.
Dekum be paid monthly allowance of
$500, as specified in the will of Mr..
Dekum, and at the same time retain her
dover.
The allowance was paid for one month,
but on Mrs. Dekum making application
the next month, payment was refused
by the executors and the matter taken
into the county court. The decision
was against the executors and the case
was carried to the state circuit court,
where yesterday 3 decision was rendered.
The executors are willing to pay the $500
allowance, providing the mother sur
renders her dowry, they claiming that in
reality no dowry exists, the real prop
erty having been decided to the heirs
and also is heavily mortgaged. Mrs.
Dekum's attorneys, on the contrary.
claim the dowry to be valuable and

a BAD BILL.

Senator McGinn of Multnomah has
introduced bill to create an official
county newspaper in each county. The
newspapers of the state are now in sharp
competition with each other, and there
is but few of the country papers that are
more than paying expenses. This bill of
McGinn's would bring such papers into
sharper competition in the end would
benefit no one, and would force the
country press in self protection to bid
for the work at rates below the cost of
setting the type. 1t is unfair to the
press and more than that unjust, for the
law steps in and by making one paper
the official paper assists in giving it
patronage at the expense of all of its
competitors.
If this bill is to pass, it would be
better to have the county establish,
own and print its own paper. In the
struggle for the field one newspaper
should not be assisted by the county as
against another. To illustrate, suppose
two newspapers of equal merit exist al
any county seat. Bids are called for fol
doing the county printing. Now these
papers must either enter into combin-
4tion to keep prices up, or they must
bid for the work at losing rates rather
than let the other have it, because if all
the legal notices are published in one
paper that paper will have great ad
vantage in soliciting subscriptions. In
other words, the law steps in to assist
the lowest bidder in running its com
petitor out of business. 1t ought mo-
TO pass

a WORD PICTURE.

The editor of the Echo Leader eases
his mind by the following bit of flowing
and sinuous prose. Whether considered
in the light of many-hued nosegay,
plucked from the language garden OF
renaissance, or looked upon simply as
the soulful outpourings of a bruised and
lacerated heart, the touching words and
tender sentiments are worthy of remem-
brance. He says:
"a few hite-livered scrubs and lousy
scabs may imagine it is smart to let
their tongues wag too much about the
private and personal affairs of the editor
of the Echo Leader. We advise such to
go slow and learn to peddle, if they pre-
fer not to see some things in cold type
which are, and have been done, right
here, that would indicate to the public
that some people are not just the pinks
they would like folks to imagine. Shoes
that fit, should be worn. The editor of
the Echo Leader is doing wonderful
work for this grand country. He is at
tending to his own affairs and quite able
to do SO without the necessity of white
hvered Ipuppies trying to get into his
soup dish. Their home affairs require
