A BATHING EPISODE.
Case Where II Didn't Come on IN
the Washing.

There are some things almost too
pathetic in their com mbinatione to admit
comment. One of these happened re-
Gently at one of The Dalles' hotels. The
bathroom had been moved and in refit-
ting the bath tub, nice coat of enamel
was given it. The night clerk knew
nothing about this, and when a young
lady guest who had just arrived ex-
pressed her desire for bath, sent the
the porter to show her the bathroom.
The porter knew nothing about the fresh
enamel which, in fact, was about dry,
and SO turned on the water and left.
What happened after that is only con-
lecture, for there is only one person
knows and she will never, never tell,
but it is certain she knows more about
that enamel then either the night clerk
or porter. The stuff is remarkably
sticky, turpentine or alcohol being re-
quired to remove it, once it gets grasp
on you. The hot water evidently had a
tendency to heighten the agglutinatiHe
qualities of the stuff and it was equally
evident that the bather did not know
anything about it until she entered the
tub. 1t wasn't necessary that she
should, for she was thoroughly informed
before she got out. The cirelmstantiaI
evidence tells an eloquent tale. On the
foot of the tub are prints showing where
first one foot and then the other waG
placed againt it to pull the other loose
On the incline at the head is just one
mark where the fair bather's bead first
struck, and the long tresses still clingine
told of the desperate yank that freed hel
hair from the grasp of that deuced
enamel. There were marks on the side.
and bottom of the tub also, showing
that by the time the bather got out she
had good share of the paint, and how
she got rid of 1t no one may know
But as effort to get rid of the stuff wat
made, we can easily fancy that there
was an agonizing sense of the weakness
of the English language, and regret thai
profanity was not an art more generally
cultivated and profusely distributed
among the ladies.

Almost a Drowning.

Yesterday afternoon a lot of small
boys were playing on the banks of Mill
creek, chasing grssshoppers and having
good time. Among them was Harry,
the 5-year-old son of Constable F. N.
Hill. The other boys went up the creek
short distance, leaving Harry, who a
few minutes later managed to fall in
the creek where it was beyond his depth.
Fortunately a boy fishing for suckers
came along in time to see him struggling
in the water and went to his assistance.
Harry in the meanwhile, had drifted
under log where the big collar of his
waist caught and held him. When
pulled out he was unconscious, but IN
a short time recovered. 1t was a very
close call. The name of the boy who
saved his life we were unable to learn.
