THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAN
COUNTY. OREGON.

A learned gentleman discourses
at length on the question whether
criminals can be reclaimed. Prob
ably some of them could be. But
there is something which will pay
much better than attempting to
reform sinners already tough and
hardened. This is preventing the
rising generation from becoming
criminals. One effort in this dl-
rection is worth a hundred times
the endeavor spent on the other
task. Training all children to be
honest. industrious and polite is
the task to which reformers and
school teachers should bend their
determined efforts. Next in I'M
portance to training one own sell
toward the ideal perfection comes
the training of children along that
line. These two points attended
to- there will be no trouble in re-
forming the world.-Exchange.

It has at last been determined
that Ex-Governor McGraw's short
age with King county, Washington,
while acting as sheriff, amounts to
almost $4,000. Not having the
ready cash to meet the demands OF
the county, he has executed a trust
deed covering $4,000 worth OF
property, and has been given five
wears in which to redeem the same.
Had he been an ordinary defaulter
to the amount Of several hundred
dollars he would have been given a
term in the penitentlary; but It
would never do to send an ex-gov-
ernor to the pen, thinks The Dalles
Chronicle.

An interesting point relative to
the controversy over state taxes is
that brought out by The Dalles
Chronicle, which says: THE law
provides that if a county treasurer
holds back the money for 20 days
he forfeits 20 per cent of the money
held back, and if he holds it out 80
days he is defaulter, punishable
by imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary. In view of this, it is not
probable the county treasurers
would hold the money back, no
matter what the governor, state
treasurer. county court or any one
else might do, since the punish
ment would fall on him."

from the realm of fancy into which he
found himself drifting. Pick up the
poor beast. and you shan't lose by it,
boys
And so Max, in full worse plight than
the girl herself seemed to be, was hauled
il and placed beside her.
Every body on the steamer crowded
to the side TO catch a glimpse of the
heroine of the hour. The stewardess
knelt down beside the d%renched figure
as soon as il was brought on deck and
officially announced that the girl was
only in a faint. The crowd was present.
~ induced to stand back, and finally
Max, with Jacks arms around his neck,
became the temporary center of attrac-
ton. while The stewardess had the girl
carried down into her cabin.
The burden bearers had scarcely dis
appeared up the companionway when
the girl jumped from the sofa on which
they had placed her. and. falling On
her knees in front of the startled stew
ardess, cried out:
You'll never tell anybody. will you?
I didn't faint at all. just couldn't look
anybody in the face. and didn't. | be-
lieve l should have died If they had sus-
pected that / was s~hamming." And the
poor girl burst into tears.
Meanwhile the boat passed through
He'll Gate and presently neared the
pier. The stewardess kept the girl be-
low until all the other passengers had
d~isembarked. Towle waited in vain for
her temperance. In answer to his in.
quiry he was told that the young lady
had quite recovered, but must not be
disturbed" Nobody found out who
| she was. Whether Towle was more for
tunate subsequently pertains not to this
story.
Even Jack and Mack had to go ashore
without so much as saying good-by to
PRISCILLA; but one Of the d~eckhands, an
old salt and dry one, watched her out
of the corner of his eye when she finally
came on deck and hurried alone down
the plank. This was his comment:

knew a gal to do; and the foolishest."

The girl. looking prettier than ever,
stood erect as an arrow, her hands
clutching the folds of her blue flannel
yachting dress. every nerve tingling
with Indignation. The captain retired
amid a chorus Of groans and Kisses.
All eyes turned again toward the
water. Max was evidently becoming cx-
hausted; the pace was telling on him.
His red tongue now and again showed
clear against the background OF his
black head as he guiped in the air. and
once Jack thought he heard a faint
yelp. The father had all he could do to
restrain the boys excitement.
Towle was SO angry that he could
scarcely speak. lie hardly dared look
toward Max. lie could almost fancy
the look of mingled questions and re-
proach that must be in the dogs eyes.

I'm not so sure Of that remarked
the young man. who had participated in

No one out Jack had noticed how
something his father said seemed to add
to the excitement Of the pretty girl by
his side, and in his terror for the fate of
poor Max he hardly realized what she
was doing when she put one foot up on

In the British museum is a crocodile

back there is n whole family Of little
rrocodiles. Years before the Christian
era the Egyptians w%orshiped c~rocodiles
among their animal deities. and many
specimens were kept at great expense
in their parks and royal gardens. where
they were attended by priests and given
all sorts Of dainty morsels for food.
When these crocodile gods died they
were cmbalmed and placed in the tombs
along with the sacred mummies OF
other sacred animals. This particular
crocodile was prepared by dipping !:

TwENTY-NlNE DANGEROUS AGE.
Man Commits More Crimes Then
Than at Any other Time.


1t is a singular fact, yet n substan-
tiated by statistics. that most crime is
committed in this state by men 20 years
old. This is not only true of the lesser.
but also of the greater crimes. although
a mar is presumed to be at that period
of his life not only in zenith of his
physical, but also in full and complete
possession OF his mental powers. with a
complete appreciation of right and
quences. This condition is a problem
which has not been solved by the stu
dent Of c~riminology, and one which is
made the more complex by the fact
that the ages Of 81, 81 and IS years near
ly equal il, with the intervening years
showing a far less percentage of crime.
1t is indeed peculiar that the criminal
tendency should be so strong at 20 with
no such inclination, so far as criminal
statistics show. in as great n degree for
the succeeding I6 years, and then an
other outburst of the animal in man.
This condition is found 10 be true by
actual figures. and as all statistical
computations at which average condi-
ton are sought TO be determined are ar
rived at by this method, so may the
student of this subject, as well as the
insurance magnate who bases his rates
on The general average of losses in pro-
portion to the risks taken, and does so
with full safety. employ ii in solving
the problem before him.
Charles X. Baker, chief clerk to Super
intendent Lathrop, has made this sub
ject one of close study and will soon
have completed a table showing this to
be true. lie has already completed n

fences in the penal institutions. and its
