Oregon Horses for the Philippines.

YESTERDAY Captain r. Page Vain.
wright. u. :. A., completed the pure
here oi ~ horses for the use of the army
in the Philippines. Last night the horses
were shipped to the Vancouver barracks
TO await the departure from Portland Of
the next transport ship. II required seven
ears In which to make the shipment from
here. Captain Wainwright said IN an In.
terview that this was the last Of a number
OF purchases OF horses in eastern Oregon
tor the Philippines made during the past
eighteen months and that the continued
demand Of the government Tor horses
raised here for use IN the Philippines was
because these animals OF eastern Oregon
could stand the work In the tropics better
than those raised In other parts Of the
country. From e'e Captain Wainwright
went TO Elgin to bIv some more horses
there. Eastern Oregon would seem to be
getting some benefit from expansion. Ask
the horse'raisers how they are going to
vote.-Republican. ''-. ..

Would Not Change Methods.

The intense conservatism OF the Brit
ish character Is illustrated In the story
Of q young Englishman who came to
America to seek his fortune and found
1t In new process for manufacturing
lamp black. The principal market for
his product was Germany. but he found
that the German buyers, in turn. sold
1t In England. so he conceived the log
ical idea OF going to England and sell
ing the lamp black direct, which ap-
peared to be certain Of success. for he
was able to say to the English firms:
"lnstead Of buying my lamp black
through Germany and paying for un.
necessary transportation, to say moth.
ing Of the middleman's profit, let me
send you the product direct. You can
then buy even cheaper than the Ger
mans, to whom you now pay profit"
The head Of one Of the largest houses
replied:
Really. Mr.. Smith. our house has al
ways found the goods bought in Ger
many satisfactory. This house has
been In existence 200 years, and we can
see no reason for changing satisfactory
methods, you know"
Poor Mr.. Smith got this reply on all
sides and his trip was failure.-Kan-

Little Rodent that Marbles Juat Like
Canary.
Mrs. NJ. Il. Marshall, Of Brentwood,
Texas, has IN her possession singing
mouse. This wonderful little animal
was captured In trap In Mrs. Mar
shalls home several months ago. Pre-
vious to Its capture the inmates Of the
house frequently heard loud and most
beautiful singing which seemed to
come from the walls Of the building.
The notes Of the music were almost
Identical with that of the canary bird.
except the volume Of music was much
louder. Many long and fruitless
searches were made for the supposed
hidden canary, and finally some Of the
people who knew Of the remarkable
musical phenomena had their superstl-
ton aroused and the report was circu-
lated that the house was haunted. Mrs.
Marshall. however, was willing to live
with such musical ghost. One morn
ing beautiful dOve-colOred mouse was
found In trap In the pantry. The
color and general appearance Of the lit
tie animal attracted Immediate attcn-
ton. and while the household were
gathered about the trap inspecting the
captive 1t began to sing like a canary.
The notes were strong and clear. The
news that a musical mouse had been
captured at Mrs. Marshall's home soon
spread throughout the town, and hun
dretls Of people called at the place and
saw the little animal and heard It sing.
A handsome cage was provided for 1t
and 1t soon became completely domesti-
Gated. 1t sings hour after hour and
seems to enjoy the distinction which II
has attained. The house has been WIS.,
