NEWSPAPER THEW Es.

Yesterday young man was before the
police court on the charge OF stealing
copies OF the PRESS from the door
steps after they had been left by the car
rier in the morning. He was severely
reprimanded, and a second offense will
doubtle SIS receive more severe treatment.
This offense, while the money value OF
the object stolen Ia not great, is deserving
of the utmost ondemnation as 1t Is the
cause Of great annoyance to the read
ers OF the paper. The publishers of the
PRESS employ some thirty-ttve young
men to deliver paDsTs to regular sub
soribers In Portland and the immediate
suburbs, and to guard against the an
noyance to Subscribers that Is COCA
stoned by the loss OF papers, the rules
governing these carriers are very striot.
They ara held accountable for m issing
papers and when a thief begins to operats
in certain section the carrier In that
section lie asked to explain why the peo-
pie on his route do not get their papers
regularly. While he may os certain that
he left tho papers correctly the fact that
they are not found by the subscriber
leaves him open to the charge of careless
ness at least, and In many cases subsorib-
ers accuse the boys OF using the papers
to their own advantage. To guard
against the unjust accusations that are
liable to be made and to protect their car
riers as well as their subscribers, the
PRESS offers . standing reward for pa
per thieves and when caught they ara
invariably turned over to the police. who
ara asked to deal with them in such q
way as to stop the practice.

It now develops that another
railroad is to be built through this
section, and that Marshall is di-
rectly on the line. We have it
from a reliable source that the
preliminary survey will be COM
menced at an early date. The
new road is to be an air line, be-
ginning at Piggott, on the Cotton
Belt road, in Clay county, to Ft.
Smith. The line will run from
Piggott to Corning, in Clay coun'
ty, thence to Ravenden Springs,
in Randolph county, thence to
Evening Shade, in Sharp county,
thence to Melbourne, in lizard
county, and southwest to Noun
tain View, in Stone county, thence
to Marshall, thence due west 10
Murray, Newton county, thence
southwesterly to Fort Smith
These are the objective points,
as now mapped out, but the sur
veyors might strike some OBJ
struction that would throw them
off one way or the other. 1t is
the intention Of the parties be-
hind the scheme, and who are to
furnish the money, to fully equip
the road for the heavy traffic that
will come to it when completed
and in operation.-Mountain

BOB TAYLOR ON THE BOY.

The happiest thing | ever saw
was barefuoted and dirty. He
carried mud between his toes and
freckles on his nose, and his
heart full of dreams and his head
full OF schemes and his pockets
full of strings and sings and
things. His Billy-goat and his
dogs were his daily companions
and he roamed over the hills and
yelled because he had a yeller,
and whooped because he had a
whooper. At home he was the
autocrat of the breakfast table
amp the dinner table and the sup
per table; at school he was the
democrat of the playground and
the republican of the lunch bas-
ket-he wanted everything in
sight. He abhorred the bath tub
and the Bible, and was the sworn
enemy Of castor oil and civiliza-
ton. He was everlastingly under
indictment for high crimes and
misdemeanors, and was always
attempting to prove an alibi. His
father tried him and convicted
him for lodging the truth one
day, and turned to him with a
frown and said: "My son don't
you 60 to Sunday school?" eyes
sir" "Don't you study the Bible
there?" "Yes, sir" "Well,
can you tell me what it says about
a lie?" The boy scratched his
head and looked guilty but finally
recovered his equilibrium and re-
piled, with a twinkle in his eye:
SIT says that a lie is an abomina-
ton in the sight Of the Lord, and
a very present help in time Of
trouble"

 BIRD NOTION.
That Have Been Found Out by

sThings Thar Have Been Found Out by
 the Airship nven ors.
 In flight the body is moved forward by the resistance of the air to the 'skrokeS of the wings. The reason why the start is the most laborioas part of the process IS thus explained by M. Marcy, the great authority of all forms Of animal locomotion: When the |bird is not yet in motion, the air struck by it's wings first of all presents q resistanee due to it's inertia, hen be- gins to move, and flies below the wing, Without affording any support. When the bird is at full speed, on the con- trary, it's wings are supported each Exceeding moment by new columns of air, each one offering the initial re- 'slstance due to it's inertia. The sum ef these resistanees presents to the winds 3 much frmef basis. The in- erease of the resistance of the air dininishes the laborsz of the bird. Tn calm air seagull at it's swiftest ex- scarcely fifth of the labor whieh it had to put forth at the be- ginning of it's flight. The bird which flies against the wind is in still better nonditions, fresh masses of air con- |tinually presenting themselves to it's Wings. The start is, therefore, the most laborious phase of flight. Hence birds employ all kinds of artifees to acQuire motion before Tapping their wings. Some run along the ground be- fore darting into the air others jump
 idly in the direction in which they Mkh to fly. Others, again, let them selves drop from height with ex- tended wings. All turn their bills to the wind at the moment of starting." ,"
