OREGON Indian Trades His Horse for
Bicycie and Is Sorry.


Bicycie: and Is Sorry.
The bicycle fever struck Siletz, but
It did not last long, says the Lincoln
County Leader. Jack Ross, an upper
farm Indian, traded his horse TO some
cuitus white man for bicycle. Very
lmpatiently he waited for the mud to
dry up so that he could try his new
steed. Finally one day last week he
started out to make his first trial. Go
ing down by the river, he selected a
nice, smooth, grassy slope. After get
ting on and off few times In the usual
graceful manner OF beginners. he was
finally firmly seated In the saddle, and
wabbled around in great shape for a
time. But fate was after him. In his
wat blings he happened to head the
machine down hill toward the river.
He was delight at the ease in which
he ian the machine. and did not notice
whore he was headed until he was
about ten feet from the steep bluff,
that hung right over the deep water OF
the river, but 1t was then too late. He
gave a wild yell, pulled back on the
handle bars, and shouted "Whoa!" but
to no avail. and at the next instant
Jack and the wheel made a graceful
curve and plunged into the deep, chilly
water OF the Siletz river. Presently a
very wet and thoroughly disguised In
dian crawled unto the shore, dragging
a bicycle out after him, and now the
wheel is again for trade.

One OF the richest men living, whose
immense wealth makes him o target for
poor people, has recently been in Paris
and the way in which he repealed one
of the applicants for his generosity Is
related like this, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch: On the opposite side Of the
hotel table sat a woman who had once
been rich.
Monsieur, you Englishmen are so
chivalrous-so ready to assist those In
Distress"
"Yes." said the man OF wealth, hesi-
tating. He had heard that before and
thought he knew what was coming
next.
Would you. with your usual gener-
osity, do me favor and great kind
ness?"
Yes. madam-that is, 1t depends
somewhat"
Think well, monsieur, before you
promise, for it is great kindness"
1t was the same old plea that he had
heard many times before from people
who wanted loan.
II am afraid, madam, that shall
have to-but what it is you wish?"
only that you would be kind
enough, monsieur, to pass me the mus
tard. You have everything on youi
side of the table,"

another brother came in and under

Law. OF Irons Magnetism.

The laws showing the relation of the

from experiments just completed by

where the veins are largest and bluest
that the blood comes, and the broken

PETTY GIRLS, THEIR FUTURE.

Pretty girls are delightful 70
look at and very nice to know, but
there are great many people in this
practical workaday world OF ours who
have very tender spots in their hearts
for the plain girls. While they may,
and probably do, adore prettiness. they
long ago learned that there are many
pretty girls who base all of their ideas
OF present success and future hopes on
their coed looks, and overlook the fact
that there are muchs more substantial
things in the world than beauty, even
though the world puts very high
value upon that most desirable COM
modify. 1t is a MISFORTUNE to be pretty
If one depends solely upon that fact

Goggin, charged with robbery. The
jury disagreed. Mrs. Egan was in court
and, being without money, had walked

II is reported that Switzerland is to
be the next country which will follow
the example of Italy and Belgium of
reckoning time up to twenty-four
o'clock in place Of twice twelve. In
Belgium, where the new system was
introduced on the 4th of this month,
there is much growing at the change.
But the principle is very simple. All
that is necessary is to substract twelve
from every figure higher than twelve

The diamond must be cut and pol
ished by hard work and the severest
treatment before it comes to its full
commercial rating, and the finest gold
must be tried in the fire, but these
spiritual gems are allowed to come up
and develop as they will, with no spe-
cial shaping or forming save that
which the vanity and weak affection of
too partial friends give them. And
this is often given in a feeble, half
hearted way, and. to great extent,
because public opinion demands 1t. In
many cases this weakness and folly are
so pronounced that the parents seem
to think that everything in the way OF
ignorance, i'll temper and bad manners
must be allowed for IL their darling is
the culprit. How much better 1t would
be to be bright, lovely in spirit and in
telligent In mind as well as beautiful
in face and figure!

The parents of beautiful children
are often envied by their associates
who have no children or only those
who are ordinary looking and not spe-
cially attractive. But such parents
very often make the most complete
shipwreck Of their children's lives by
their injudiclous management and the
very evident pride they take in the
appearance of the little ones. They
must not study too much, as that
would make them dull and spiritless.
They must not wear old or unbecom-
ing clothes, as that would detract from
their loneliness and mortify their
pride. One woman, the mother OF
very beautiful daughter, made the lives
Of her friends miserable by constant
exhibitions of her child's attractive
ness. She was always on the alert for
some opportunity to draw COMPARE
sons between her daughter and other
children, and ever, of course, to the
credit and advantage of her own.
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1897-07-16

1t is one Of the greatest OF bless
ings to be beautiful If one has judiclous
parents and friends and is carefully
trained and taught the true value or
beauty and the advantages to be
gained by its possession If 1t is sup
plemented and aided by good sense and
good breeding. Everything that adds
to beauty and tends toward its per-
manency has high value in all OF the
relations of life. Whether it be a
house, horse. work of art or a
child, beauty adds in every way to its
consequence. Physical symmetry and
perfection are rarely found coupled
with exquisite mental balance and a
good stock of sterling common sense.
But once in a while this admirable
combination is discovered, and truly
its price is above rubies. If parents
could comprehend the Importance or
bringing up these jewels of untold
value in the right way, what treasures
they might bestow upon an apprecia-
tive world!
