stepped on a nail or bit OF iron and IL had
penetrated the tender part OF her foot. She
was in Intense agony and almost wild
with pain.
Long before We reached the inclosure la

her on three legs, swinging the hurt foot

Loves Metamorphos,s.

It Is easy enough TO tell man by his
friends, but 1T lis impossible to tell a woman
by her admirers with whom she associates.
Onc reason for this is that a man usually
shows himself to his fellows as he is, but it
is impossible for his fellows to le:ow how
he shows himself to a woman, so long as
he is in love with her. In that blissful con-
dition the rude, off-hand man Of business
becomes to his loved one picture OF clumsy
courtesy; the coward is capable Of feats
OF valor from which a French cuirassier
would shrink; the mean, tradesmanIy per-
son will stop before the shops of jewelers.,
hesitate, and at last enter; the rake will
honestly regret the hearts he. believes that
he has broken, and, FOR the moment, stead.

Germans Lead the World in the Mysti-
cism of the Laboratory.
London Telegraph

London Telegraph
'.Made in Germany is now the recognized
trademark for chemicals throughout the
world. The dyes and by-products derived
from coal tar have become a classical in
Itance, or, as Bacon would have said, glar-
ng example. As we have stated, the
fatherlanders have captured these trades
from us. Go to Elberfield and what do
we see? AT the Farbenfabriken, besides
hrst-class works, we are shown a labora-
tory unsurpassed, perhaps not equaled,
h London, and employed in research or in
the business there are sixty high-class
chemists. In the Badische Anilin und
Sodafabrik seventy eight chemists are en-
gagged.
An expert witness told the Gresham COM
mission that six skilled chemists was the
maximum number employed in any English
color works, If, indeed, there was so many.
These men are increasingly active in re-
search. The price to pay for progress is
eternal vigilance. Every hint from Eng
land, France, America or Italy is tried,
every new material tested, every hopeful
process patented. The great works at
Hochst made in 1890 from 1,7OO to
1 800 colors; they employed 5000 hands,
seventy chemists and twelve engineers

forty-five Investigators.
The lesson that has been driven home
10 the faiberland is that industrial pre-
cesses carried upon a large scale give
great chances for discovery. Just as gas
making gave auiline, so the -soap-boilers'
I've yielded iodine, the waste OF salt gardens
bromne, the mother liquor from the
springs caesium and rubidium, the acid
chambers scienum and thallium, the mines
and metallurgical works gallium ard ger
maDium. Therefore the ''chemikcr" on the
other side of the Rhine is always looking
out for something new.

Of modern times SO far as cottondyeing is

Dean Hole, in his ''Little-Four in Amer

was picked up at an entertainment given
in his honor by the Lotus Club of New York.
The quaintest story Of the evening was told
by DR.. Greer, Of tedious, monotonou
preacher, who had exhausted the patience
Of his hearers by n elaborate dissertation
on the four greater prophets, and when,
to their sad disgust, he passed on to the
minor and asked, "And now. my brethren,
where shall we place Hosea?'- ma rose
from the congregation and made answer,
You can place him here, sir. I'm off"

Manufaetured sensat1ons.


If the periodical sensation does not
mature every so often in our community,
our city is possessed of one or more in
dividusls who are capable of manufact-
uring them. A few days ago the report
was circulated that Bryan was killed in
a railroad wreck in Michigan. That
lasted a few hours, and gave rise to
much speculation as to the heroism of
the Republican engineer, who martyred
himself, or the act of pitying Provi-
dence, depending on the point of view
from which it was contemplated. This
morning the report was that the express
Office had been robbed, and the amount
accurately fixed at $4,000. Everyone
was looking for a strange individual
with a glittering eye and black macin-
tosh, and at the boat this morning Off
GERS we're supposed to be hiding in the
hold. This sensation did no6 last very
long, for in a short time Agent Kurtz'
seraphic features were observed IN all
their accustomed tranquility at the
usual hour, the window glass was seen
to be intact and the safe untouched.

Pavors the Home Product.

Last evening while in corner brick
grocery store, a drummer from St.
Louis came in and 1 heard the following
dialogue. The drummer said to the
groceryman, F'I want to sell you some
vinegar" The groceryman said ST do
not want your vinegar. The fruit men
around The Dalles make vinegar and 1
prefer to patronize home industry.
When they cannot supply me 1 will call
on you" If all the people in Oregon
were like that groceryman and would
buy home productions in preference to
the imported article there would be less
talk of hard times and scarcity of money
in Oregon. A RESIDENT.

That Conflict of Dates.

The Democratic managers here GER
tainly exhibit an alacrity that should
command the admiration of the world.
The time that elapsed between the an
nouncement published in THE CHRoN-
ICLE alone that Schoonmaker's date had
been cancelled and the news that he
would fill it vas one short hour. It was
ascertained so soon that the notice of
withdrawal was left out of our weekly
printing of our daily edition. Can the
Mountaineer seriously claim that in this
short time correspondence had been had
between The Dalles, Portland, and Till
man, who was not in the state at that
time? The statement very naturally
challenges credulity. If they are in
earnest in their claim that they do not
fear that their forces will be converted
under Schoonmaker's great research and
logic, let them change Tillman's date.
1t is frail cause that must resort to
smothering tactics. Let us hear both
orators. There is no need to fear the
great common sense of the people. We
do not.
AS regards the conflict of dates of
Nov. I'd between Mallory and Barclay,
the Mountaineer is straining at gnat.
The night before election is like the eve
before battle. Both sides are drawn
up in their respective strongholds, and
it is fitting they should hear words of
cheer from their respective generals. If
anyone's mind will be changed at that
late day, such one will not make a
valuable soldier, for he is possessed of a
fickleness that might cause him to
change again on election day by the first
adverse influence. The Republicans
have not considered Nov. I'd more valu-
able than any other day, else they may
have secured that date as early as their
political opponents.

Miss Minnie Lay Entertains.

The first card party OF the season was
enjoyed at the homebf the Misses Lay
last evening. when Miss Minnie enter
tanned about fortT\ \of her frierds at
whist and hearts. TO say that the
rooms looked inviting in their decora-
tion of autumn leaves, does not express
it, tor after so long time with 10 i'm
door amusements an invitation to take
full possession of such beautiful parlors,
with such entertaining hostesses, is
more than appreciated. Six tables
were devoted to whist, while in the par
lor where hung large red heart. There
were hearts galore, at which game Mr..
F. w. Wilson was most successful and
Miss Clara Davis the least. At whist
Miss Lownsdale of Salem showed her
skill to best advantage.
What pleased the guests most was to
find that a canvas had been stretched,
aud most of the time after lunch was
spent in dancing to Miss Newman's ex-
cellent playing.
The hostesses were more than success
full in their efforts to entertain, and the
following who were present pronounced
it most promising beginning of the
winters pleasures:
Misses Cad Booth, Alma and Edythe
Schmidt, Maybel Mack, Dorothy Fred

Mamie Cushing. Beulah Patterson,

Bigoted Cripple Greek.

A gentleman from Cripple Greek is
registered at the Umatilla house who
states certain facts concerning the politi-
cal sentiment of that troublous mining
camp which would indicate that anarchy
holds high carnival there. He says it is
impossible for a Mckinley man to get
work in that place. Every branch of
labor, table walters, miners or clerks,
are united into some sort of union. The
chief qualification seems to be their
preference for Bryan, and no other can
join the union or secure work. A be-

got him drunk, and he revealed his real
sentiments. They rolled and beat him
and gave him three hours to leave town.
Cases have been frequent where Nc
Kinley men have been thrown out of

The Mckinley vote may be small in
Cripple Greek, but the place will receive
a reputation for intolerance second to
nothing in the annals of religious
bigotry.

There is no use in a~pologizing for the de-

facts about Highland Mary will never be

But one can study the poets life closely
