A Fitting Memorial.
(Commun icated.

Any retrospective view of the past will
bring to mind thoughts of other days,
which, whether filled with pleasing or
sorrowful memories, softened by. time,
bring us nearer to those whom we have
lived among, and who have contributed
to our own welfare or unhappiness, as
the occasion has given rise. As the
poet says:
calls sustained by elemental strife,
Aud passions are The clements of life.'
These reflections have been occasioned
by picture which through the courtesy
of the County Clerk, Mr.. V. E. Walters,
we were shown few days since, and
the sentiment impressed on one while
beholding it, naturally leads to a retro
spectlve view of Benton's judicial history
the last quarter of a century or more.
1t is a group composed of the former
County Judges, OF Benton County, resid-
ing in Corvallis, and of the veteran
County Clerk, B. w. Wilson, whose
term of thirty consecutive years extended
through all the terms of the Judges repre-
sented in the picture. Judge Holgate
occupies the foreground, and Judges
Burnett and McFadden are seated near,
while Judge Hufford, the present in
cumbent, is standing; and this attitude
strikes one as being appropriate, in that
the Judge, in whose keeping is entrusted
the supervision. of estates left by those
who are taken away from the protection
OF widows and orphans, should be ever
fguratively standing there, ready to
prevent their substance from being de-
voured by any of the human wolves
always TO be found prowling about, seek
ing to line their own nests through the
ignorance or confidence of the unsuspect-
ing and unprotected.
The picture is incomplete and of this
Mr.. Waters expressed his regret; and in
this he will be joined by the entire COM
munity. Judges, Kelsay and Bryson are
not there, and any represention of the
last twenty years of Benton Countys
judicial history without those two familiar
forms, must be incomplete. Who will
fail to remember the kindly greeting of
Judge Bryson, whose strong personality,
deep insight into human nature, and
clear legal mind, left constantly the i'm
preston of pushing, influential man.
Who will forget the classical tendencies
of Col. Kelsay, to whom the study of
Tacitus, Pericles, Demosthenes, and /
Cicero were such delight.
1t reflects credit upon Mr.. Waters,
that he shows this rel erent spirit, and, |
while it is yet time, he has left a memorial |
in his office which will not only be of
interest to succeeding generations, but an
agreeable reminder Of old and esteemed |
friends by many man who shall drop
into the Clerks office within the next
decade.

j ira ana John.

Jim and John were toWnsmen and
chums, and went out to see baseball.
1t was red-hot afternoon, and the
bleachers were like frying pans at
breakfast time. Jim had a bald head
and John had crick in the back. They
sat for an UNDERGONE roast and laughed
at rything. Jims bald spot was a
shining mark, like brass door-plate.
A stray ball, fierce and sharp, from
false bat, struck the spot and ploughed
a fUrrow. 1t dazed him. Jim's eyes
and face looked like sick owls, and
John laughed. He laughed an hour
straight along. The game ran late into
twilight. Meanwhile, John had shed
his coat, and COOL damp draft got in
it's work on his back. The time came
to leave, but John couldn't. He couldn't
bend or get up. Lumbago had set in
ig its worst form. He laughs best who
laughs last, and Jim had revenge. But
they got down town to Jims room.
when he said: Here's something all
those athletes use for hurts and all
ments, and it's the best known cure for
lame back" He rubbed it on Johns
back and some on his own head. They
were both feeling cured and comforta-
BILE from the use of st. Jacobs OH.
which Jim always kept in handy
place. He was sport himself and
knew what was best. They went to
bed. John laughed in his sleep. Both
rose in the morning fresh as daisies.
Then Jim laughed at John.

Quick and WITTY

Lord Young is said to be one of the
ablest Scotchmen on the bench or at
the bar. At least, he has a ready
tongue. One day in September he was
driving into town from his place in tho
country when he met an acquaintance
'Hallo?' said the latter, "what are
you doing here? | thought all respect
able people were out of town"
WELL" said the other, shave YOU
seen anything to make you alter your
opinion? I haven't"
At the time of the general election Of
1892, he was visiting at Dalmenv
House, and the report came that Lord
Wolmer, now the Earl of Selborne. had
been returned for the Western Division
by majority Of three, over Mr.. T. r.
Buchanan. Soon after some one came
IN and said that Lord - and Lord
- had voted for Wolmer.
"Ah," said Young, "that accounts for
the two ciphers.' ~

Air Limits Bicycle Speed.

Were it not for the resistance of the
air, the cyclist would be able to attain
almost incredible speed, SO greatly has
the modern maker reduced the resist
ance due merely to the friction of the
machine. A man who can drive his
machine under present conditions
through the air at, say, thirty miles an
hour would, If road and machine resist
ance only had to be met, be able to
drive at three hundred and thirty miles
an hour, or if he can actually go twenty
mikes an hour, he would be able to drive
his machine one hundred miles an hour.
This shows the very essential part that
pace-maling plays in the cycle race. A
long machine, with half dozen riders
upon it, or an autocar just in front Of
the racer, makes such draught as ma
telially to reduce the enormous resist
ance met with when the air is STILL
