HOW 1T ALL HAPPENED.
Terrible Things That Happened to
Several Persons Because a
Horse Liked Grass.

It would not have happened if it had
not rained the night before or if the
butchers boy had hitched the horse
when he left the delivery wagon
standing on Madison avenue while he
went in the apartment-house at the
corner The horse wanted some of the
grass that grew inside the curb, and
after he had taken a mouthful or two,
horselike, he decided that the grass
behind him was better. So he backed
up until the wagon covered all the
clean crossing and then stood still.
One at a time five men came along
from the opposite side of the street.
Two of them waded through the pud-
dies behind the wagon and three made
a detour by going around by the other
side of the street. Then man and a
woman came along. Both were nicely
dressed, and the woman wore nice
skirt. They were hurrying to the de-
pot and had not time to go around by
way of the other crossing, so the man
waded to where he could lead the
horse out of the way. AS soon as the
over and the man let go of the bride.
Then the horse promptly backed again
and ran the muddy wheel against the
white skirt, leaving about two feet Of
mud on it and causing the woman to
squeal and jump into the biggest pud-
die.
This made the man furious and he.
Y L.
umbrella and broke the handle of it.
The butchers boy came out at this
moment and cursed the man for beat
ing the horse. Then the man let loose
little profanity on his own account
and tried to hit the boy with the um-
brella and the boy struck him with the
basket he was carrying and jumped
into the wagon and started the horse
on q run. They headed toward a BIZ
cycle rider who was on a narrow strip
of road between two pools of water,
and he promptly fell into one of the
pools and the wagon ran over his
wheel, while the jolt threw basket
of meat into the other pool. Then a
woman who was watching from an up
per window leaned too far out and
knocked over vase, which didn't stop
falling until it struck the sidewalk
The man and the woman then turned
back toward home. Her skirt and
shoes were covered with mud and she
was telling him 1t was all his fault and
expressing a very poor opinion Of a
man who would use such awful Ian
guage in the presence of his wife

In Goodland.

They are picking juicy apples
In the orchard on the hlll;
There are streams of amber flowing
From the humming cider mill;
They are singing songs of Goodland,
As they did when | was there,
And the odor of the vineyard
Floats upon the autumn air.
They are blowing down the stubb.es
Where The yellow shocks were tied,
And the bay Is in the furrow,
And the gray Is at her side;
They are singing songs OF Goodland,
As they did when | was there,
And | wonder if they ever
Think of me or even care.

man in the darkness of hopeless dis
ease is of all men most miserable. When
doctors and medicines innumerable have
been tried and found wanting, and loving
friends vainly urge upon him the food he
cannot eat and which brings him no nour-
ishment or strength, what is to be done?
Men and women who have sunken so
far into weakness and disease that the
whole BODY seems to be permeated and
poisoned by it have found health,
strength and vigor through the transform
ing, electrifving power of that wonderful
"Golden Medical Discovery" which DR..
R.V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, proffered,
thirty years ago, to sick and suffering hu-
manity.
During all the years since then this mar
velous Discovery" has been building up
weak and debilitated constitutions by It's
extraordinary influence upon the human,
nutritive system. 1t gives the digestive Or
ganism keen power and capacity to appro-
pirate every life giving element from the
food taken into the stomach and trans
forms it into rich, highly vitallzed blood
and healthy flesh, bone, sinew and nerve
fiber.
Consumption in all its earlier stages IS
arrested and couuteracted by the tissue
building, flesh making, life-promotlng pow
er of this grand medicine and there is no
darkness of bodily ailulent so dense but It
will shed upon the sufferer the light of re-
newed hope.

A burglar once entered the house of
the late Charles Lamb, the celebrated
novelist, and was about to begin opera
tions when Lamb himself entered the
room. On seeing the man the novelist
asked him what he wanted. After a
moments hesitation the burglar re-
piled that "he was after something to
eat" On hearing this Lamb took the
intruder to the door and said: "As
you are so hungry here is (meaning his
own leg) u leg of lamb for you!" And
so saying, he kicked him into the
street.-Spara Moments.

chair, and Representative Moody, of

the definite withdrawal of Mr.. Cor

the following letter:
Portland, Or, Oct. 6.-Gentlemen
OF the Republican Caucus of the Ore
gon Legislature: am sensible OF the
honor which you have conferred on me
in making me the Republican caucus
nominee for United States senator.
Although l have been assured of the
support of large numbe of friends to
the end, and Notwithstanding that l
am the majority candidate as declared
in the caucus, am convinced that my
continued candidacy for senator would
precipitate deadlock and tend to dis.
rupt the party, creating sores which it
would require a long time to heal. For
period of 40 years l have given the
party the warmest affection and the
best service of which am capable. l
do not now desire any personal ambi-
tion of mine to stand in the way of
party harmony or of the continued tri-
umph of Republican principles. am
therefore constrained to withdraw my
name as candidate. In doing so, 1
desire to assure my friends and the
party OF my continued zeal and active
cooperation in permanently securing
the important principles for which we
have so earnestly contended.
II beg leave to thank my friends for
the loyal and generous support which
they have accorded me. l earnestly
hope that without further delay SEN
ator may be elected who is and has
been in accord with the sound financial
principles of the party as embodied in
the Astoria platform. Very respect
fully yours, H. w. CORRETTD -
