The Only Brave Man.

4 battalion Of volunteer infantry
was drilling in field when regiment
Of regular cavalry rode by.
The Colonel Of the cavalry halted
his men to watch the volunteers. and,
getting into conversation with the
Colonel Of the latter, he criticised
their drill unfavorably, especially their
want of steadiness
The volunteer Colonel was fierce
fellow, and he cried hotly
"My men arc as steady rs any regi-
mcnt of regulars.
Il do not think so, rctortcd the
cavalryman, and if you'll draw up
your men in order to receive cavalry
I'll prove it,
The challenge was accepted. and
the cavalrymcn charged down upon
the citizen soldiers, who awaited them
in the usual way.
Now. regular cavalry can charge to
within a few feet, or even inches. of
infantry at full gallop and then, at
the word of command, pull up short.
The volunteers, however, lost their
nerve when they saw the huge horses
laundering down upon them and
showing no sign of stopping when a
few yards off. They fled, all but one
man, who remained on his knee, with
bayonet levelcd.
His Colonel, enraged at the others
flight, approached the hero, and, tap
ping him on the back, cried
you're the only brave man in the
regiment. You scorned to rum"
Eyes, SIR gasped the hero, 81 had
my foot stuck in hole, or | shouldn't
have waited. "-LonI"n Spare No

A Complete Success.

Mr.. T. b. McClain reports that his
corn harvesting experiment of last fall
was complete success. The reporter
asked him about the matter few days
ago, and that was his very encourag-
ing report.
1t will be remembered that instead
of harvesting his big corn crop in the
usual way, Mr.. McClain waited until
about two weeks after the fodder was
ready to pull, when he went through
the field with harvesting machine,
cut the stalks down close to the ground
and shocked them up, to remain until
later in the fall, when he ran the stalks
through shredder. The shredder
husked the corn and cut stalks, fod-
der blades and husks into small pieces
ranging from an inch or so in length
down to the fineness Of wheat bran.
This stuff, which is called stover, was
salted down, packed in bales and
slowed away in the barn. Some 20
tons were lost as the result of long
wet spell; but fully 100 tons or more
was safely housed
The reporter asked Mr.. McClain as
to the value of the stover, compared
with peavine hay. He replied:
"Well, of course you know that j.
contains considerable Sprinkle of
grain. do not consider it as good as
peavinc hay by about Is per cent.
The stock, however, are all fond of it.
They eat it with as much relish as you
could desire. am satisfied that it is
worth as much per ton as the best tim
othJ hay, and am not certain but
what it is worth more. think it is
worth more. l think it is more val
uable."
''Then you are thoroughly satisfied
with your experiment.
80 am so well satisfied that I shall
never again attempt the plan Of pull
ing corn and fodder separately. Count
ing the saving in the expense Of har-
vesting and the saving on account of
utilizing stalks and other material that
would have otherwise been wasted, 1
think l get at least 25 per cent. more
value out of my last crop than I would
have gotten under the old method"
How about the condition of the
corn as saved by this process ?'
"The only damage there was arose
from the falling down of few ears to
the ground. I mean, of course, on ac-
count of this method. There was
more rotten corn than usual last year,
you know; but it was not attributable
to curing in shocks. The proportion
that was damaged by reason of the
curing process, did not amount to more
than l per cent. of total damage sus.
tanned by the crop. In fact l doubt
if there was any more damage than
there would have been had l followed
the old method. But you may say
that / am forever done with the old
method "-YorkriUe ENQUIRER.

Teachers Were Entertained.

The the teachers of The Dalles pub.
lie schools found an oasis in life's
weary waste of toll at the pleasant
home of Mrs. E. M. Wilson, on last
Saturday afternoon, where they
hied like a caravan of worn travel
ers and unburdening themselves of
work-a.day cares 'enjoyed a respite
under the genius of Mrs. Wilson and
Miss Wrenn whose hospitality they
enjoyed, and were regaled with delici-
GUS coffee and dainty refreshments.
Not unnaturally, their minds wan
dered back to their own school days,
and many were the "reminiscences
brought to light which provoked much
merriment, and mirth flowed freely
until the subject of the pending school
law relating to teachers certificates
was mentioned, when CONSERVATION
was depicted upon the faces of all ex-
cept two who are.fortunate enough to
hold life diplomas. One thacher
solemnly announced that within very
few months she must choose between
a life diploma, matrimony or idleness.
She failed to relieve the minds of those
present by stating which of these ca
lamities she proposed to take upon
herself.
The shades of evening falling all too
soon brought this charming afternoon
to a close and all departed feeling
happiness in knowing that two kind
hearts at least realize that teachers
life should not be all of toll alone.

A MAN
LOST.

Lost! No man understands the full
meaning of that word like the man who
has been lost. He will tell you: 81 was

The first impulse of man lost in the
woods IS to run. The only safe thing is
, to sit right down and reason out the
position.
Sometimes business man gets up at the
usual hour, breakfasts, kisses his wife and
starts for the Office. He has for some
time seen signs that he was off the trail
OF health. To-day the signs multiply.
His brain is dull and dizzy, his heart
does not beat right, his breathing is diff
hcult, his limbs feel tremulous He is
scared. He realizes that he's far away
from the trail of health, and suddenly
like panther from a tree, the thought
leaps on him, "You are a lost man. ,"
The first impulse is to run for help,
though the way is honey-combed with
pitfalls of quackery. But the rational
man faces the facts, sits down and
thinks over the position and its proba-
bilities.
That is the man we want to talk to.

A Fortunate Escape.

What might have proven serious
fire was averted at the residence of J.
T. Peters, on Liberty street, at
O'Clock Monday morning. A quilt had
been hung near the fire to warm and
the children in going to breakfast had
pushed it against the stove, where
from the heat of the stove it caught
fire. Mr.. Peters had gone to his store
and when the fire was discovered it
was almost beyond control, though
through the efforts of the ladies in the
house the fire was extinguished and
the house saved. The damage was
slight, being confined TO carpets. walls,
ETC., but it was fortunate escape from
serious confagratlon. Inside of an
hour after the fire. the agents of the
two companies that we're carrying the
insurance on the building were on
hand ready to arrange for adjusting
the loss.

SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.
Has the DingIey Tariff Helped the Wool
grower?

Has the DingIey Tarrfr Helped the Wool
grower?
The woolgrowers of the West have
almost as unit declared in favor of a
high protective duty on wool, and for
almost two years have been accorded
their demands. If it is beneficial to
their industry, it is now time for some
of the beneficial results to be realized.
The following from the st. Louis Re-
public may be found Of interest to
them and throw some light on the
subject:
High duties have not brought wealth
or even a reasonable profit to either
woolgrowers or wooden manufacturers.
Despite the high duties placed upon it
by the Dingley bill, the price of
American wool is below the cost of it's
foreign rival with the duty added.
Secretary North of the Woolen
Manufacturers of Massachusetts makes
it clear that the existing high tariff is
the. cause of the unproftableness of
the woolen industry both to producer
and manufacturer. The past year, he
says, has been one of general dullness
and unemployment. hardly paralleled.
With all classes it has been a year of
small business, of much anxiety and
often of hardships and embarrass-
ment."
He points 10 the fact that more i'm
portant milling establishments con-
nected with his association have as
signed since the present tariff law
went into operation than in any previ-
GUS period of like length since the
panic OF 1857. Alongside this state
ment he places another to the effect
that the importations of wollens have
been smaller in quantity during the
last year than for so years.
American wool and woolens have
had the market to themselves, and
they have Jared worse with the Ding
ley bill to protect them than ever
before. Mr.. North gives lessened
production instead of over production
as one of the causes contributing to
this condition. The Dingley bill sent
the price of the raw material up in the
begi aning and caused the manufactur-
ers to lay in large stocks at figures
which they could not realize a profit
on when it came to disposing of their
fabrics to the clothiers. Unprotected
cotton was introduced as competitor
to wool which was protected to the ex-
tent of % to 23cents per secured pound.
It was mixed with wool as an expedient
to cheaper the cost of manufacture.
Woolen manufacturers who stuck TO
wool met with ruin and the price of
the raw material was forced down.
AS Mr.. North puts it, ''an economic
law was at work which tariffs cannot
set aside"

birthday luncheon was not all the
Circle had thought of in remembrance
of her falthfulness to the order, but
that they wished to place in her hands
more lasting token of the esteem in
which she is held, and after wishing
her many happy returns of the day,
presented her, in the name OF the
members of Cedar Circle, beautiful
remembrance in the form of a silver
berry spoon.
The guardian neighbor, in short,
we'll worded address, said she thanked
the Circle .for thinking of her in this
way, that it was complete surprise to
her and that she would do the very
best she could TO fill the Office to which
she was elected, according to the laws
of the order.
The evening was a pleasant one to
all, every one voting that it was just
as pleasant to give as to'receive. and
each wished it was his or her birth
day. Mex week there will be initia-
tions and balloting on candidates.

Although there is not as much bowl
ing done at the club alleys during the
present winter as heretofore, still the
quality of the rolling almost makes up
for the quantity, as last weeks scores
would indicate. They are as follows:
Monday, Fred Houghton SO; Tuesday,
Fred Houghton. 81: Wednesday, Mrs.
Huntington, 50; Thursday, Miss Lang
so; Friday, G. L. Phillips, 81; Saturday
J. F. Moore, SO; Sunday, P. Mays. 81.
Upto coon today 300 seats for tn
minstrel show were reserved and are
continuing to sell rapidly, so that it is
evident that standing room, in the
| opera house, will be valuable on Satur-
day evening when what promices to
| be the best local talent show ever put
on in The Dalles will be presented.
The spirit of our people to patronize
home talent is certainly commendable
! and they can rest assured that they
| will fully enjoy the performance.
The action of City Marshal Lauer in
commencing to repair the streets
before spring opens is very commend
| able, since if this work is neglected
too long it will be next to impossible
to put them in proper shape during the
entire summer, and good streets go far
towards making an impression on out
siders as to the thrift and enterprise of
| our citizens.
The sheep raisers from various
points in the interior state that their
focks are at present in good con-
dition. For time during the recent
storm they entertained fears of being
able to bring their flocks through the
winter, but the only forbodings they
have at present are that the winter
has broken up too early and that an
other bad storm may come towards
spring.
Numerous wheat sales are being
made in The Dalles at present and the
producers are evidently beginning TO
fear that the indications are not good
for an increase over the present price
which is so cents per bushel. Many
who could have sold for better figures
last fall are sorry now that they
waited so long, and seem anxious to
dispose of their produce at present
quotations.
AS it is ladies day at the club the
evening session of the Wool Growers
association will be held in the Umatil-
Ia House ,parlor. Forestry Superin-
tendent Ormsby will arrive on the $50
train and will address the wool grow
ers ut this evening session, so that it
promises to be both interesting and
important, and will certainty be we'll
attended by those interested in this
great Industry.

Mr.. Rogers realizes the immensity of
the fishing industry on the Columbia

same. He states that he will endeav-
Or to return next summer so as to get

At Cedar circle Last Evening.

Someway the neighbors of Cedar
Circle found out that their guardian
neighbor, Ollie F. Stephens, would
have a birthday in January and they
inquired of her husband the exact
date, and found it to bethe 2lst, so last
Friday they determined to remember
her at lodge session. The plans were
we'll laid, so that Mrs. Stephens
thought the appearance the hall wore
of being forest, from the decorations
of fir trees, was for the benefit of the
candidate who was to be inflated, SO
inquired no further. The affair was
surprise to the guardian neighbor.
After lodge was over, the tables were
laid and delicate luncheon was served
with chocolate. There was constant
flow of mirth and pleasant conver.
sation from the moment the guardian
was led to her seat of honor, and all
the officers and members were seated
until the hour was up, and in few
words the advisor called the attention
