however, to soak the plants daily,

How to Press Embroidery Properly.

In all cases Of embroidery on linen
the work should be carefully pressed
when finished, and it is important for
every embroiderer TO know how this
may be done in the simplest and safest
manner. The proper way to
press the finished work is to lay the en-
broidery face down on q clean cloth
spread over an ircning-blanket or two
or three thicknesses of flannel; place a
thin. %dampened cloth onthe back of the
article to be pressed, and then use a
hot iron deity on the wet surface until
1t Is perfectly dry. A steaming process
is fthus engendered, whereby the m
broidered linen is rendered smooth and
the effectiveness of the work much en-
hanced.-Woman's Home Companion.

He was a mere STRIPPING of a lad. He
might have been seven years of age or
he might have been nine; nobody could
tell by looking at his face. The only
mark of certainty about the youthful
countenance was the sure sign that
some of his ancestors had come from old
Ireland. The little fellow walked hasti-
ly into the Office of the warrant clerk of
Recorder F%innegan's court. He did not
notice the four persons standing in line
waiting to get afidavits made out
against some bothersome relatives, but
the youth pushed through the crowd
and disengaged the attention of the
clerk with this odd demand:

red head around the side Of the desk.
"You want what?" queried the clerk.

to swear out the warrant.

are Needing Assistance.

A special edition has been issued by
the Canyon City News devoted mainly
to giving publicity to the fact that the
people of that city who lost their homes,
in fact all they possessed on earth in
financial way, are in pitiable condition.
II says:
We must have assistance from the
outside world and must have it quickly
or misery and hardships will follow in
the wake of the fire. On the eve of a
cold and chilly winter to be burned out
of comfortable home and forced out
into the cold and cherries world with
hardly clothes enough to cover our
backs, we would be heartless if we were
not thankful for whatever favor granted.
Think of home and children.
Dalles people surely have had ex-
perience enough in this line to place
them in a position to sympathize
with and assist their unfortunate
neighbors. While it seems to our
citizens that every day brings forth new
avenues which call for expenditures,
yet certainly this Is one which cannot
be, nor would we seek to overlook. The
smallest contribution will be gratefully
received. Let us not forget the days OF
our own need, and thus we will be led to
sympathize with those of our neighbors
Beside, in a business way The Dalles has
received very substantial aid from the
| residents of that section.

It's Human Nature.

This readiness to accept the wonderful
and miraculous in preference to COM
monplace truth. A plausible and GLIB
tongued doctor can go from town to town
curing, or trying to cure, people, and
have great influx of shekels, while,
every community in which the so-called
doctor goes is supplied with quiet
learned practitioners, who have forgotten
more than the fakir ever learned, and
they can give you the best treatment
within the reach of human knowledge.
While your home doctors carry you from
year to year, get up at all times of the
night and are your servants during the
day, and you pay them when you are
we'll or able, the fakir gets the cash, and
is gone forever. If your eyes are troub-
ling you in any way, call on Prof. P. G.
Daut, the only graduated optician or
doctor of refraction in The Dalles, two
doors west of Keller's bakery. 1 am
here to stay, and guarantee all eye work.
PROF P. G. DAUT.
