Taste In Animals.

Many experiments have been made
in order to find out what and where
the organ of taste is in the lower
creations; but it is easier to say
where it is not. Crayfsh and worms
seem to have very decided prefer
ences in the matter Of food, though
no special taste organ has been
found. Lobsters like decaying food; /;
the crab is more dainty in its diet.
Snails and slugs show decided
preference for certain kinds of food,
as garden lovers know to their cost;
peas and cabbages, dahlias and sum
flowers are great favorites, but they
will not touch the white mustard.
Some prefer animal food, especially
if rather high. Spiders have only
slight sense of taste; flies soaked in
parafin seem quite palatable to
them, though one species, the dia-
dema, is somewhat more particular
and refuses to touch alcohol in any
form Observation-Disclosures Journal.

The Brilliant stadsns. Dilemm..

A Harvard student told me an anus.
ing story about himself the other day.
It seems that recently his mother had .
young lady guest at their home on the
Back Bay, and when he came from col
lege In the afternoon he was introduced
to her. At dinner also she sat opposite
him at the table. He paid little atten-
ton to the fair visitor, as his mind was
engrossed with problem In his lessons.
However, his brothers were as assidueus
as possible in entert lining her. As it
happened, the latter had engagements
out that evening, and, as Mrs. A. had
promised Miss B. to have one Of her sons
take her to the theater, it fell to the lot
of my friend George, the Harvard man.
BE accepted the situation gracefully.
and in due time the young couple set of
for the theatre. Arriving, George left
his companion at one side of the lobby
while he stepped up to the box Office and
purchased the tickets; then, turning
about, he looked toward the place where
ne had parted from the young lady, and
was surprised to see half dozen there,
and-ye gods. is it possible?-he could
not tell which was his precious charged
Here was dilemma.
George said he Immediately decided
that rather than risk speaking to the
wrong person, he would stand still till
the young lady spoke to him. So he
gazed at his tickets for what seemed to
him an age, but was probably only a
minute, when Miss B. came up and said,

yes-yes-" stammered George, equivo-
eating-"yes, / did; thought they had

APPLES AND BABIES.
Hood River to Show the Products of Her
Orchards and Climate.

Hood River to Show the Products of Her
Orchards and Climate.
The managers of the Hood River
fair are going to have among their
other exhibits, baby show, and, if
possible, d wedding. Hood River
products will compare favorably with
those of any other section, or for that
matter all other sections of the state;
and this whether those products are of
the orchard or simply of the nursery,
the babies being classed of course
among the latter. The soil and the
climate are such that apples grow al
most spontaneously and babies may be
said to be Indigenous. Hood River
apples have made reputation for
themselves all over the country as be-
ing plump, firm, highly colored, deli
cately favored, tender-heshed and free
from worms, reputation that will
also prove applicable to the babies.
That the apple exhibit will be mag
nificent one goes without saying, for
even last year it was agreed upon, tao
lily, that this year an exhibit of the
orchard products would be made. Un-
fortunately at that time the baby show
had not been thought of, and hence
that department can hardly be said to
have had an equal show with the or
chards, yet that exhibit will be good
one too. AS for the wedding, that
ought to be easily arranged for there
are plenty of young folks down there,
all of them better looking than part,
and no extra inducements ought to be
necessary, because it will be merry

FEN BArTY's soRRowFUL LAMENT
~How Happy Could I Be With Either
Were T'other Dear Charmer Away"

ssHow Happy Could Be With Either
Were T'other Dear Charmer Away"
Fen Batty, the handsome clerk at
the Umatilla House, who sits up of
nights to accommodate the travelling
public, is the owner OF fine buggy
horse which, up to a short time ago
was the Joy of his heart and the pride
of his soul. The smiles from lips OF
Beauty won, the glances of the bright
est and most bewitching eyes in the
world, that is those of our Da]les girls,
availed not to awaken a throb in his
manly bosom, for his affections con-
centered on his steed until there were
none left for promiscuous distribution.
The horse was, and is good one, a
nervous high-strung handsome animal,
good stopper, and he seemed to de-
light in seeing how swiftly he could
take the light buggy containing his
master ever our choicest drives. This
state of affairs has existed for year
or more, and might have continued in
definitely had not the pneumatic-tired
steed became rival for his affections.
1t was bike that finally got to carry
ing Fen around, and the horse was
neglected. For two whole weeks the
horse has stood in the stable victim
of neglect, but yesterday Fen's better
nature asserted itself and his affection
for his good steed came out. So did
the horse. Fen couldn't abandon the
bike, but his heart smote him for his
neglect of the horse. So, yesterday
morning he compromised, and as the
glorious sun lighted up the eastern
horizon. sending a sheen of golden
glory to the zenith, tipping Mt. Hood
with pink and rosy blushes and turn
ing the windows in Castle Haworth
toveritable diamonds, Fen might have
been, in fact. was seen, gliding along
on bis bike and leading the horse. It
was happy thought, one that made
Fen smile and the horse laugh.

came across hero the other day.
He looked much the same as every
day mankind. He did not know
he was a hero, nor did l until he had
left the party in which l met him.
Domestic heroism, that of the pri
vacy Of home, with no Victoria cross
or congressional medal dangling be-
fore it as possibility. is, after all,
perhaps the noblest Of all heroism.
Here was a great, strong, healthy
and wealthy man, fond of outdoor
sports, of travel, of the activity of a
busy commercial career-one who In
his youth was a mans man rather
than a woman's. Fifteen years ago
he married, and in a few years there
came three children into the house
hold.
It had been a happy family. He
has been kindly husband as hus-
bands go, and she pleasant and
dutiful wife. Out Of the night came
paralysis to her-a new life to him.
Since that time his career has been
entirely altered. His business was
quickly arranged so he could be fire.
quently absent from his Office. He
was father, mother, nurse, teacher,
companion and playmate compressed
in one domestic providence. Never
had woman more devoted attendant
nor more faithful and intelligent
nurse.
All the little questions Of house
keeping and of the care and training
of children, of their clothing, their
pleasures and their pains, fell to him,
and in his hands they have been
managed with a wisdom and care
absolutely wonderful. This has been,
remember, something Of 10 years
and it has grown instead Of
lessening. Outside of his compara-
lively casual attention to business
his horizon is confined to the walls
of Lis aoIiie. 70 make the wife for

spirit he could not fail.
They travel about considerably,
this family, and all the details are
taken care of by him. No hired
nurses or governesses are permitted
to usurp any of his duties, although
there is one Of each there at hand as
his representative in times Of en-
forced absence. So skillfully is all
this done, SO modestly is it carried
out, that even the chief beneficiary
does not realize what is occurring
and that is his reward. 'They do
not build Westminster abbeys nova
lays" said friend of mine once.
and I thought of his remark when
heard the story of this man, for the
supply Of heroes at this time is far
below the demand. -Pittsburg Dis |

An Earned Holiday.

Hon. John Michel was a passenger
on Wednesdays train for Portland,
from which point he will go over the
Northern Pacific to his old home in
Michigan. Mrs. Michel accompanied
him, but will go to Whatcom to re-
main until her hu stands return. For
fifteen years Mr.. Michel has been
in the newspaper business here, and
in that time few indeed have been the
days when his faithful pencil did not
furnish the copy for the TIMEs-MoUNT-
AMER. We do not agree with him
in politics, but we realize the faithful,
honest and able work he has done for
his party, work that was not always
appreciated and certainly not properly
rewarede by the party. He has earned
vacation, and we sincerely hope he
may have an enjoyable visit with old
friends, and come back to US regener-
ated from having lived over again his
boyhood days, with the s'old boys"

NOT DUE TO ADVERTISING.
A Patronage the Stores are Not Looking
For, And do Not Want,

For some time past A. NJ. Williams
&'Co.. have been missing articles from
their store, suspicion falling on three
or four girls aged from to II years.
While they were on the watch to see
if their suspicious would be confirmed,
the lady with whom one of the girls
was living noticed that she had a pair
of new shoes and upon questioning her
concerning them, she broke down
and confessed to having taken them
from A. M. Williams & Co., and i'm
plicating three other girls. The firm
was notified and at once took steps to
recover their property, and placed the
matter in the hands of the city mar
shal. This was done yesterday morn
ing, and since that enough goods have
been recovered to show that the young
suers had been systematically raiding
the stores for a week or two. They
had corsets and shoes from Nc
Inerney's and Harris, miscellaneous
assortment from Pease & Mays, and
Herbring's as well as from Williams
& Co., and books, tablets, etc., from
Nickelsens & Jacobsen's. Just what
will be done in the matter has not
been decided upon, but owing to the
youthfulness of the offenders we re-
frain from publishing their names.

THE CONGREGATIONAL CONCERT.
Fine Program, Excellent Talent and an
Appreciatiye Audience,

| The concert at the Congregational
church last Tuesday was well attended,
and the audience showed its apprecia-
tion of the numbers by hearty applause
| and numerous encores. The first num-
Der was piano solo, "On Wings of
| Song" by Mrs. G. P. Heald, and when
the little lady stepped upon the plat
form she was greeted with a warm
welcome evidenced by hearty clap
ping of hands. Mrs. E. G. Price was
also given hearty welcome. and
when she sang ''My Lady's Bower"
was encored and compelled to respond.
The vocal solo "Promise Me" was to
have been sung by Mr.. w. Crossen,
but as he was suffering from severe
cold Mr.. Perkins kindly took his place.
Mr.. Perkins has very sweet, clear
and well-trained voice, aud later in the
evening sang wishing Were Home
Tonight" so we'll that the audience
would not be satisfied until he re-
sponded to an encorer Miss Black
woods violin solo was pleasing fea-
ture OF the program. Miss Ann G.
Smith, of Hood River, had to sing the
second piece before the audience would
let her go, and she was followed by
Mr.. James Dourgan with selection
on the bagpipes, which was genuine
treat, and which he followed later
with two others. Miss Ketchum's
recitation of James Whitcomb Riley's
poem Curvature of the Spine" proved
her an adept and was followed by such
a storm Of applause that she could not
refuse to obey it. Miss Eliot, of Hood
River, sang two numbers and an en-
core. She has a rich full voice that
shows careful training. Mr.. Hunting
tons reading of the poem "Chicka-
mauga," by Maurice Thompson, |
showed that he understands the beau |
ties of poetry as well as the intricacies |
of the law. The closing number was |
a piano solo by Mrs. Head, aud when
she had held the audience breathless
for ten minutes while her flying fin
gers hypnotized the Soul of Music and
forced it to do her bidding, there was
a full minute of silence, more eloquent
than sound, before storm of applause
rolled out making the windows rattle
and increasing until she was again
seated at the piano, and which again
broke forth at the conclusion of her
third number. Taken all in all it was
one of the most delightful affairs of
jhe kind ever given in The Dalles.
We might add, since the piano war
seems to be taking rest, that the pi-
mo used was "Hardman," gener-
,usly furnished by the Jacobsen Book
( Music Co., and was certainly fine
