The Dakota Jack Rabbit

The jack rabbit is prairie in
stitution that gives the settlers
dogs plenty ofexercise. When the
settler sees a jack rabbit for a first
time starts him up suddenly on
the prairie, he imagines that by a
quick movement he can lay his
hands on him.
The rabbits awkward, appearing
to be lame in every joint, holds up
one foot as though it panied him,
and altogether creates a belief that
he is a dilapidated wreck of
an ungainly, animate thing. The
settler is surprised. that he cannot
''grab" him. The settlers dog, al
SO, is confident that he can quickly
make an end of the rabbit. He
bristles, runs leisurely toward the
rabbit, doubles his speed, doubles
it again, triples that, quadruples
the whole, when, 10! the rabbit dis
appears. There is some grass fly
ing, a vanishing streak Of light, q
twinkling of two padded feet ex-
tended rearward, and he is gone.
The dog sits on his launches and
concludes that it was dream, and
that he did not see rabbit at all.

The old-fashioned operation Of rob-
bing Peter to pay Paul was lately re-
vived on large scale at Lyons by q
man with Russian name, who speaks
eight languages, and is well-known in
Paris. While in the capital the swim
dler gave himself out to be great
Muscovite magnate, and SO dazzled the
proprietor Of music hall and tavern
that the Russian hymn was played as
the sham prince strutted proudly
through the place. AT Lyons the pris-
oner induced some persons to join him
in an alleged purchase Of pictures,
which were to be resold at profit. He
obtained large advances from one set
of victims, and then repaid the others
with interest. The supposed Russian
also represented that he was about to
purchase the collection of Prince Paolo
Borghese, and showed forged docu-
ments in proof of these assertions. He
obtained about six hundred pounds in
this manner, and then decamped to
Madrid, where he was arrested. The
accused caused some merriment in
court when, as the president reminded
him that he had also passed as a prince
in Italy he answered: "Bahl in that
country man who eats macaroni is a
count, and whoever orders fllet Of
beef is a prince" The cosmopolitan
swindler was sentenced to three years
imprisonment. II

a LESSON IN PoLITENEss.
An Intereating Incident Of Elevated
Travel In New York City.

An Tnteresting Incident Of Elevated
Travel In New York City.
The temptation to correct the man
ners Of children who are not taught by
their parents to conduct themselves
properly in public places is very
strong. A gentleman yielded to this
temptation on New York elevated car
recently under circumstances which
may be pardoned to him, though un-
doubtedly he exceeded his right
He was sitting, as he relates in the
New York Press, in car in which all
the seats were taken stout woman,
fiashily dressed, sat opposite him, hold
ing small boy between her knees.
As the car stopped, person who sat
next the gentleman got out, and
working girl, carrying big bundle,
came in, and started to take the vacant
seat.
But the woman with the boy was too
quick for her. She pushed the boy
quickly into the seat, just before the
girl could take it, and looked compla-
Gently about her, as if she could not
see the girl at ALL
The gentleman might then have risen
and given the girl his own seat. but he
did not. He put his arm around the
boys waist, lifted him to the floor, and
said:
Nov take off your hat, and offer
your seat to that young lady"
The boy ran to his mothers knees.
The girl hesitated, but took the seat as
the gentleman beckoned her to it.
And then the mother of the child burst
out into violent denunciation of the
mans ''ungentlemanly" conduct.
"And let me tell you, SIR" she said,
finally, don't you ever meddle with
peoples children agaip!7
Madam" responded the gentleman,
''if mothers do not train their sons to
grow sup as gentlemen, some one else
should. How do you expect that boy
to respect his mothers sex, when his
mother sets him the example Of de-
spising other women's claims to
courtesy?"

Some Curious Effects Noted In the Rueget
North and Sunny South.

Some Curious Effects Noted In the Rugged
North and Sunny South.
Gutturals predominate in Norway
and Russia, whereas, far to the south
ward, in sunny Italy, there is pro-
fusion of such euphonious names as
Palermo, Verona, Campobello, and 80
forth. Even in the British isles, cover
ing SO few degrees of latitude, there is
a marked difference between the
"burr" OF the Highlander and the soft
speech of the native of southern Eng
land.
A theory which may partly account
for these climatic effects is based upon
the contrast of the stiffness which usu-
ally pervades southern lands with the
stormy inquietude Of northern coun-
tries. Cloudless skies for months at
time characterize the climates of Italy
while a armament entirely free from
clouds is rare in Norway.
It requires, of course, greater effort
to be heard in regions which are swept
by winds and storms than in still south
ern latitudes, and to be heard distinct
ly amid the noise and confusion of the
elements words must be used which
contain many consonants.
Among the inha bitants OF more trop-
ical climes the tendency is toward soft
and musical cadence, and travellers re-
late that in regions in South America,
such as Peru and Venezuela, where at
mospheric disturbances are rare, the
natives almost chant the phrases Of
salutation.

PAY THE INDIANS.
Distribution of Government Drafts to
the Neg Perces,

Distribution of Government Drafts to
the Nez Perces.
Agent Fisher began the distri-
button Of government drafts to the
Nez Perce Indians at Lewiston
Monday greatly in the surprise Of
Lewiston citizens, and the Indians
themselves. The money is part
payment Of $1,500.0OO for land re-
linquished by the Indians to the
government. Lewiston bank re.
representatives. were on hand at the
agency building, 10 miles from
Lewiston, with gold to cash the
drafts, and creditors were there to
receive payment for debts contrac-
ted by the Indians for years past.
The troops kept every one away
from the agency but those directly
interested. The Lewiston bank
stole march on the bankers from
Moscow, Kendrick, Kalispel and
other points, representatives of
these having no cash with them,
and being unable to induce the In.
dians to deposit the checks with
them. About $25,000 was paid out
today.
Three weeks will be required to
complete the payments. The In.
dians are focking into the agency,
the news having been spread rap.
idly. Jim Reuben, an influential
Indian, received 2 per cent for con-
ducting the negotiations, acting as
Interpreter, etc. and the banks !
of per cent for cashing the drafts.
Most of the money will be deposit
ted in lewiston.

What's yer peppers business?' IN
quired the directory man.
"Business?"
"Yes. What does he do for hving?"
The boy laughed. "0h," be said, "he
steals lead pipe off roofs, and some
times he breaks into houses. Say, yer
amt policeman, are you? Well, that's
all right. Pepper amt got no regular
business. Sometimes he lies along the
waterfront and robs drunken sailors
and sometimes he sandbags people. To-
day he's trying his hand at picking
pockets on the Bowery, but / guess
he'll get pinched, because he generally
does at that game. Don't put him
down as pickpocket, mister, for he's
a regular greeny at that"
The directory man scribbled some
thing in notebook and moved away.
The boy called after him curiously:
'sWhat did yer put pepper down as,
mister?" The directory man said moth
ing, but held up the book, in which
was written:
"Jones, John, politician, 1924 Ave
nue. A." and moved off to the next fat.

lands that matured the average
yield with grain Of superior quail
ity. Grain grown Oh upper lands
suffered from the drouth, and as
consequence the yields are below
the average, and the grain in many
instances is shriveled. With few
exceptions the farmers in Wasco
and Sherman are satisfied with the
results: the berry is ofgood quality.
In the Walla Walla valley the re-
ports are entirely in favor of the
producer, be he a raiser of fruit or
grower of grain. In Union, Grant
and Baker counties, many farmers
cut their wheat for hay. During
the months of May and June the
weather continued cool, especially
at night, and the corn crop looked
yellow and sickly, out since the
weather has become warm there
has been a notable improvement;
especially in the Hood River sec
tion; fair crop may be expected.
The hay harvest is closing. In
many sections the farmers are cut
ting alfalfa, which is very good
whore it has been properly irriga-
ted, and very thin and inferior
where it has been neglected. Pas
lures and the ranges show the eff
fects of the drouth. Cattle are thin
Hay will be scarce next win
ter, though there will be enough of
old hay to supply some of the pre-
sents crops deficiency, There is an
excellent crop of fruit being har-
vested for the markets. Our cor
responde mt at Hood river states:
"All kinds Of fruit is plentiful, well
developed and of most excellent
quality. The largest fruit ship
ments Oregon has ever known have
been sent from The Dalles, Hood
River and Walla Walla this season
There is an excellent crop of fruit
in Baker and Union counties" AZ
correspondent from Union, Union
county writes: "The fruit crop is
only A No 1 crop we have" Plums
and peaches are ripening in Grant
county, and in all other sections
the fruit reports are favorable.
Gardens are looking well and are
producing an abundance for home
consumption and outside ship
ments. There is good prospect
for the potato crop in almost all
sections. Potatoes and vegetables
are extra fine where they have been
irrigated. The water in the streams
is very low. Grasshoppers are still
in evidence though there is little
for them to destroy.
There are no conditions present
that indicate any rainfall for the
next week. The haze and smoke
will continue until rain falls.

ATHENA, AUGUST 2Srd, 1895.

MANUFACTURERS of oleomargar-
inc scored heavily in a recent test,
made by chemical experts in Phila-
delphia, to determine whether that
product is as free from bacteria as
is butter, says the Oregonian. The
result showed that from 100000
TO 20,000,000 microbes to gramme
in butter, in one extreme cases Az
600, 900 to the gramme, were found.
The average in oleomargarine was
100000 to 100000 and the ex-
treme 100000 to the gramme.
Cold reduced the latter to from g.
100000 to 100000, while it only
killed off one-third in butter. More
over, no pathogenic bacteria were
discovered in the despised imita-
tion. Both articles are discomfort
ing enough in the light of this
analysis, but as we have all doubt
less swallowed 100000 microbes
to the gramme at some time or
other and still live, the general
voice will probably continue in
favor Of butter. Starvation men
aces the inquiring individual who
looks too intently at his food
through the miscroscope or gives
implicit credence to the findingsof
bacteriologists, who delighs to ex-
plore its mysteries and describe its
microbes.

Education in Corea is of the Chinese
erder-the committal of whole books
to memory. On all other subjects than
knowledge of Chinese, says the Boston
Transcript, ignorance is the fashion
when it is not a reality. Philosophical
speculation is stated to be common, but
Corean notions of natural science are
indeed very chaotic, if the following
story may be accepted: "a well-known
merchant of Chemulpo was asked by
one Of his native employees man of
some education-whether or not he
had ever seen sparrow which had
died natural death. The person
questioned did not remember that he
had. He was then asked how the for
eign servants accounted for such a.
phenomenon, for such it was, consid-
ering the vast number of sparrows in
the world and the huge families they
raise every year. The answer to
this query being unsatisfactory, the
Corean gave his explanation, which
was popular one. He said that dying
sparrows betook themselves to the sea-
shore, dived into the mud and became

oakesdale.s Cow Ordinance.

An effort has been made at
Oakesdale to enforce the stock or
dinance, but it has not proved sue.
cessful nor remunerative to the
marshal Six head of cayuses
were driven into the pound Thurs
day, and the marshal bought feed
and fed them and sent word to the
owners, who replied that they did
not care for the cayuses, and would
not redeem them. As there is pos
itively no sale for such stock, the
marshal fears he will not be able
to get his fees and expenses from
the sale Of the stock, and if he is
forced to bid them in he will be
compelled to buy feed for them, as
the stock ordinance will not per-
NIT them to run at large. He
therefore notified the city council
to furnish feed for the stock, as he
would furnish no more. This re-
quest not being complied with, he
threatens to turn the stock out,
and resign the office.

and the smoke from the forest
fires in Western Oregon has become
more dense until now the atmos-
phere is filled with smoke. The
maximum temperature during the
week has ranged from "a to 80 de-

the preceding. week. The mini.
mum has ranged from AS to 66 de-
grees, except on Tuesday morning,
where in places sonth Of the Blue
mountains, 1t was near to and be-

ever, is reported to have occurred.
There has been an entire absence

weather conditions which have
prevailed throughout the harvest
season, harvest has progressed and
the late-sown grain has filled bet

In Wasco, Sherman, Umatilla and
