Chairman Steel, sitting in his
Office in Portland, cares but little
for the welfare of the republican II
party in Oregon, so long as the
Portland octopus embraces suf-
ficiency upon which to thrive. He
should be proud of taking from our
county the little influence it posses
sed. If the LEADER errs in this
opinion, it begs pardon, but it can
not see otherwise at this writing.

HIS BUSINESS ABILITY.
As n Hanger On Young Mr.. Blank
Was n Gritty and Glorious
Success.

This fair maid will have n handsome dot
some time, and it is the ambition of her
father to have her marry one whose fortune
will at least equal her own.
81 want you to stop that young Blank call
ing here" he remarked, recently, in the au-
tocratic way that some fathers have. He
has no prospects worth speaking of, there is
nothing to show that he has any business
ability, and don't want him hanging around
here any more
"What is business ability, papa?"
"Why, you know. Everybody knows, of
course. Let me see. Why, it's the ability to
see the main chance, to grab it, and hang ON
till you get the money. That's what it is,
and there's plenty of young men in Detroit
that have it. Blank lacks it woefully."
ooh, he does? I'm afraid, papa, that
you're speaking without proper information.
He knows that L II nave 500, 900 some time.
That is main chance worth looking after.
Mr.. Blank saw it. He reached out and
grabbed for it. He's hanging on, and he's
going to get it. Do you happen to know of
any other young man of his age and limited
opportunities whose business ability has as
sured him SO handsome a fortune|
The old gentlemans answer sounded sus-
piciously like smothered profanity, and it
was fully five minutes before the bewitching
creature could bring the sunshine of smile
to his face. Now he tells few confidential
friends that young Blank has the making OF
one of the best business men in the city,

SELFISH MAN PUNISHED.
A Little Train Incident That Gave
Justice-LOving Passengers
Much JOY.

Passengers on an Atlantic City train a
few evenings ago were treated to spectacle
of retributive justice that tickled them IA
mously. The car was crowded, and, as the
dust was flying pretty thickly, all the pas
sengers save one had their windows down.
This unpleasant exception was disgruntled,
looking party, with a plentiful growth OF
weedy-ooking whiskers, and these he al
lowed to sway in and out of the window with
of the dust and cinders, for these always
blow in the seat directly behind. Two nicely
dressed women occupied these unfortunate
quarters, and, after suffering martyrdom for
about 20 minutes, one OF them asked the
"epen-window fend" il he would mind put
ting the window down. mol" he replied,
grnffly. Its too warm If you don't like 1T
change your seat.
In front of the man sat a travelling man,
who took in the situation at glance. Quick
as a flash he raised his window, and instant
ef the flowing facial appendages of the man
behind began to perform a most fearful Sc
ries of gyrations. The dust speckled them,
and the wind twisted them. Their owner,
after a few moments of such violence, got
red in the face and then put his window
down. A few moments later he leaned over
and asked the other passengers to shut off
the draught in similar manner, but, to the
intense amusement and qualification of the
balance of the people in the car, who had
watched the little comedy all the way
through, the drummer, without so much as a
warm. If you don't like it change your
seat!"-Philadelphia Record.
The pleasure in talking too much is as
short lived as that of eating heavily on Q

THE HORSES GRIEF.
A Faithful Animal that Deliberately,
Committed Suicide When Neglected.

n AnlnluI tnuL DellDeThtely,
Committed suicide when Neglected.
Speaking of the grief that some
horses will exhibit when left in
strange place and neglected for a short
time by their masters" said an old
miner to Star reporter, 81 recall see
ing a horse deliberately commit sui
eide in three feet of water because he
had been deserted for three days.
THE horse was owned by a man
named Jim Kelly, a well-known pros
pector, who, in July, 1897, came into
Grand Forks, b. c., after an absence
in the mountains of several weeks
The animal was nothing but II common
cayuse, on which Kelly sometimes
rode and sometimes packed his outfit
when the trails We're steep and diff
cult. Naturally, the man and horse
became attached to each other by their
close companionship and the little
marks of kindness shown in their lone
ly camps when Kelly would pet the
tired cayuse and perhaps give him n
handful of sugar before he fed him
for the night. 1t was remarked hy
those who met them that the cayuse
showed an uncommon attachment for
Kelly.
Well, on arriving in town Jim staked
out his horse and betook himself to
the Cosmos hotel and proceeded to
sample all kinds of liquor, prolonging
his spree until Sunday afternoon. All
day Friday, during Friday night and
until late Saturday afternoon the cay
use waited, whinnying when anyone
approached, but viciously resenting
any attempt to feed him. About sun
set Saturday, his master not return
ing, the horse strained at his picket
rope till he finally succeeded in pulling
the picket pin, and, trailing the rope
behind him. he trotted up to the Cos
mos, keeping up prolonged whinny.
He walked up the steps to the porch
and peered anXiously through the win
dows in search of his master. For 10
or 30 minutes he walked up and down
the porch, whinnying as though in
great pain. Then, after Il long look in
10 the windows, he left the porch and,
with head hanging near the ground
he walked into a stream of water, about
three feet deep, lay down on his side
and buried his head under the water.
THE act was witnessed by me and
by n number of others who were at
tracted by the horses strange conduct.
We followed him down to the creek.
There is no doubt he deliberately com
mitted suicide. When Kelly came of
his spree on Sunday ard learned of the
cayuse's death he secured assistance
and buried the faithful animal."--
