Then, again, a minister asked what it
would cost to hold divine service on the

wanted to establish an agency some where
on the main street of the city.
A Colorado inquirer besought the District

and reached there footsore and weary.
After having a narrow escape from GO
ing to the house of correction for doing
nothing but walking with the lock-step
the eX-convict struck the turnpike and
came to Washington.
1t was twilight as he walked up Pennsyl
vania avenue and heard the glad Christian
songs from the Gospel Wagon on Market
Space new thought filled his mind
He had been thief, rounder, gambler, and
all but he had never yet tested Christianity.
He listened atteutively to the speakers,
The prayers made an impression upon bis
hardened heart, aud after the service he
followed the throng to the Mission Build
ing and was converted.
On the following day the eX-convict
went TO police headquarters and called
upon Major William G. Moore, chief of
police He told the chief he was former
penitentiary bird and hsd ,5ust finished
doing. time to the tune oftwenty years.
Two OF your detectives, SIR" he said,
''ordered me out OF town yesterday. But
thank God, chief, l was converted last
night. 1 am a Christian now sir, and 1
am going to stay right here. GOD will
protect me-"
The chief of police extended his hand
"If that is true; if you have reformed
and intend leading correct life, am
your friend, aud none of my men Will
disturb YOU
WRITTEN TWO SONGS.
The ex-convict's eyes were suffused with
tears as he went away. This man, who has
considerable talent, has composed two
songs, I'm Glad He Touched Me" and "A
Mothers Prayer"
The Prophets Chamber, snuggery Of a
bed chamber on an upper floor of the mis-

who formerly occupied the upper walks of
life, but are now down in the valley Of ad-
versity Ii has been occupied by erstwhile
lawyers, judges, physicians, ministers, ed
| itors and other men OF professions.
Not the least conspicuous figure in the
mission kaleidoscope is a man who was a
terror TO the Washington police and spent
most of his life behind prison bars. He is
now a working evangelist.
Ellen Ale, or Irish Ellen" was another
whose name appears hundreds of times upon
the annals of the Washington police depart
ment Ellen is also an evangelist She estab-
lished and conducted the 'Louse Alley
Branch Mission" In her younger days she
was the wife of British army officer. She
was educated and talented.
Her downfall was step by step. First
| gradually, then a plunge into the dark
| abyss of sin. Her first taste of liquor
was at the table with her family. The
taste grew on her. From ruby wine she
went to fiery brandy and whisky. A
divorce followed. She came to this coun-
try and frequented low rummeries.
At last she was arrested as a vagrant,
and since then has served eighty six
terms in the Washington wOrkhouse. Ell
len Ale is now a reformed woman, and
has gone TO Ireland to end her days in the
old family home.
These are only few of the characters
that have found food, shelter and religious
consolation at the mission. The entire
list is a long one, 1t embraces every pro-
fession, trade, creed, nationality and con
dition of human kind

LETTER FROM A WAC.

The candidate for a Government posi-
ton who may have been a wag wrote the
Commissioners to solicit their good offices
in occasionally having his papers busted.
They were on file, he said, at the Post
office Department, and if he could know
that they are kept bright and cheerful like,
he would sleep better. The letters of
recommendation had been obtained at
great labor and he was proud of them.

them he would send her "a settin' of the
eggs"
A deniZen of the Tarheel State not long
since forwarded TO Assessor Trinble an
inquiry as to the cost of license to ex-
hibit hog at the Capital, as though there
could be a new species OF that animal for
Washington inspection. The writer was in
dead earnest, though, and his admiration
for the porker was volubly expressed. He
described it as a nice, clean, well-behaved
hog, with numerous interesting accomplish

the National Capital would be greeted with
enthusiastic delight.

President Clevelands hair has turned gray,

Fred w. Hendley has opportun-

natural history, says the e. O.
Recently an old hen took notion
that a kitten which was around the
woodshed needed mothers care,
and that it was her duty to adopt
it. This she did, and appears to
take as tender care of the young
feline as though it had feathers and
was a member Of the biped family,
She has now devoted herself to
the little kitten for several days,
and covers it at night as she would

too, evincing no desire to desert its

County Court Desires More Care in
Handling 1t.
1t is the intention of the Una
tilla county court to look more
carefully after road business and
see to it that supervisors and all
interested give heed to transact it
in proper manner. With this end
in view, the court mas promulgated
these suggestions to road petition
ers:
"Road notices must be posted IN
public places in view of the pub
lie.
"The affidavit of posting notices
must show where and how posted,
to-wit: Tackled on a board secure
ly nailed to q tree, stump, or log
or.fence post, naming its kind, at
the point of beginning.
"Give the number Of inches. feet
yards, rods, furlongs or miles from
the true starting point, and the di-
rection therefrom.
"Too much care cannot be taken
in the preparation Of road papers
the petition, copies Of the petition
the bond and the affidavit Of post
ing notices-and if any one papel
be omitted the court has no jrrs
diction."

An Illicit Still.

The Miltonian, Millions new pa
per, is authentically informed by a
young man of that town that he
accidently discovered an illicit still
in the mountains above Milton.
( Under theinfuence of the liquor,
which the young man said was
very much like that made at Wes-
ton distillery, the men operating
it soon became communicative and
told him all the secrets of.their Sin
dustry1 They had been opera
ting about year and could make
about eight gallons Of good corn
whisky day, which they disposed
of to unscrupulous Walla Walla
dealers. The corn they purchased
in Walla Walla and carried to their
cabin, about five miles from the
still, on pack horses. From the
cabin it was transported to the still
"by handy iu order that no tell
tale trail might lead to an investi-
cation that would be sure to prove
disastrous to them.

OUT OF THE STRONG BOX.
what Was found added 10 the vaIu.

What Was Found Added to the Value
of the Kendall Estate.
The strong box belonging to the
estate Of Mrs. Kendall, late Of Cor
Wallis, was officially inspected in
that city last Thursday, says the
Corvallis Times. The box was full
of papers most Of them dim and
yellow with age. There were wheat
receipts for years agone, tax receipts
from away back, and mortgages
that had been long ago cancelled,
and there was a yellow old note
with government stamp in the
corner, such as all notes used to
wear in war times. Interes in what
was coming out Of the old box
kindled when from a pile Of old re-
ceipts the administrator fished out
q county order for $500, dated Dec.
1890, worth at this time about$418
and along with this discovery, be-
sides a license to sell spirituous
liquor, came a colonel's commission,
lifting j. S. Kendall from private
life to colonel of Oregon volunteers.
1t was signed by John w, Davis,
territorial governor Of Oregon, and
bore date of July 12, 1854. These
finds, after further delying in a
pile of old receipts and cancelled
mortgages, were followed by the
discovery ofa certificate for $500
deposited with the First National
bank, Corvallis, June 10, 1894, and
this is all there was of interest in
the strong box Of the dead woman.
The search was not in vain, for it
! unearthed and added 1918 to the
valuation of the estate.

MongoIlan Pheasants.

G. O. White received eleven Of
the beautiful Mongolian or "Den-
n.y. pheasants, and they are on ex-
hibition in the front window Of the
Boston Store. Many persons have
stopped to admire the birds, and
especially the sportsmen are seen
standing before them, impatient
for the time to come when they can
go forth and slay a bagful of Chi
nese pheasants. But this willSnot
be for sometime yet. as the game
law protects Mongolian pheasants
during the entire year in Eastern
Oregon, and will do SO until birds
have become common and have
spread over the whole country.
These birds are to be turned loose
on the Raley and Tanning ranches
in a few days.-E. O.

Oregon White Winter Wheat

On the Hay6eld ranch, near
Pennington, was harvested this
season q crop Of Oregon white win
ter wheat, which is a new variety
in this section Of the country. The
stubble is two feet high and very
thick and course. The headed
grain in the stacks is as long as
ordinary bound grain. When it
was standing it was as high as u
moderately long man. When cut
ting it the header was set as high
as possible, yet it could elevate a
little more than half a swath.
