Solferino," in which fight, with the
aid of Louis Napoleon, the Italians

wish to recall crisis in European
history not far in the past and to
be stirred by the martial march of
words should read this brilliant
narrative without fail.

A preacher in Kansas the Other
day delivered a very brief but
beautiful funeral sermon. Here i,
is: "A word to you all. Post NOR.
tenn praises and love are in the air.
People kiss their dead who never
stoop to kiss their living; they
hover over the casket in hysterical
sobs but they fail to throw their
arms about their loved ones who
are fighting the stern battles of life
A word of cheer to the struggling
soul in life is worth more than the
roses of Christendom piled high on
the casket cover. The dead can't
smell the flowers but the living
can; scatter them broadcast in the
pathway, therefore, and pluck out
the thorns before it is too late"

BOUND FOR OREGON.

roads say that reports of Oregon S
progress i'll dairying attract much
attention in the East The people
there can understand that success
is almost certain to the man with
COWS in grass country, when he is
assured ready market for milk at
the creameries. The increase in
creameries in Western Oregon in
the past year makes it a very at
tractive country for the Eastern
farmer of small capital. He does
not have to take the chances of till
ing new soil i'll a new climate in
midst of conditions that he must
grow familiar with before he can
expect to win. The certainty of
the creamery market for milk gives
the newcomer hold. 1t serves to
fortify him IN primary industry,
about which to organize his affairs.
This is found to appeal with con-
siderable force TO Eastern agricul-
turalists who contemplate coming
West to better their condition,
They will come and establish
houses keep cows and sell the mill,
to creameries while learning how to
organize and make the most of
other branches of industry in the
new country. This gives prudent
men confidence and assurance.
A colony of 2r persons arrived
from Beaver City, Neb,, this week,
and have gone to Forest Grove to
locate. These people have moderate
means and intend to establish
themselves in dairying and general
farming somewhere in the vicinity
OF Forest Grove. The drought in
Nebraska drove them to dispose of
their possessions there. They had
heard of Oregon as fine country
for dairying and they made investi-
CATION and came here. Dairving
and small farming had been their
business in Nebraska. About a
score Of creameries have been built
and put in operation in Western
Oregon in the past year. This is a
great stride for an infant industry,
aud reports of this activity have
gone far and aroused interest of the
country. 1t offers newcomers who
have neither time nor means to ex-
pertinent in new country some
thing to take hold of immediately,
and assurance that they will find
open to them at once legitimate
means of helping themselves. The
self respecting citizen hates to take
any chance of getting in a position
where he maybe helpless through
untamiliarity with conditions. -

A Navajo Superstition.

No Navajo Indian will ever make a
campfire of wood from a tree that was
struck by lightning or that might have
been. If such a fire is made by an ir-
reverent white man, the Indians will
retire to distance, where they cannot
feel the heat or smell the smoke, and
they win go to sleep in their blankets,
firelsss and supperless, rather than eat
of food prepared on that kind of fire.
The Navajo believes that if he comes
within the influence of the fame he
will absorb some of the essence Of the
lightning which will thereafter be at
tracted to him and sooner or later will
kill him. Up In the mountains more
than half the great pines are Scared
by lightning, but no wood from them is
used. Almost any old Navajo can mar
rate instances where the neglect Of
this precaution has resulted disastrous
ly, for men are sometimes killed by
lightning in region where thunder
storms are frequent, and 1t is but
step from the effect to the cause.

out and a hole made in the door of suf-
ficient size to admit the hand and arm,

WlLES or THE FOX.
Some Clever Tricks by which Rey-
nard BafRes His Purnuers.

Some Clever Tricks by which Rey-
nard Bafles His Purauers.
A fox is entitled to all that is said
for its wisdom and sagacity. Not long
ago the Washington hunt Of Valley
Forge started young fox in the North
valley hills, and the hounds were rum
ming it across the open field when the
hunters were surprised to see a much
larger fox come from the woods and
run diagonally across the track Of the
young fox ahead of the hounds, and
when they struck the stronger track
of the bigger fox they took it up, young
Reynard thereby being saved from be-
ing run down and killed by the hounds.
Old hunters say they have frequently
witnessed this trick when young foxes
were being closely pressed and in dam
ger Of being run down and killed by
the hounds Another and an even
sharper trick was played by an old fox
some weeks ago while being holly
chased by hounds. The fox had run
some 20 miles, and while crossing an
open stretch of country was In danger
of being run down and killed. In a
field through which the fox was run
ming with the hounds close to Its heels
was the cellar of an old house, with a
portion of the walls still standing. The
fox made straight for the old cellar.
leaped into it and made its escape
through narrow opening in the walls.
The hounds, supposing the fox was
trapped, dashed into the cellar pell-
nell, only to find Reynard gone and
themselves in trap, as the hole In the
wall through which the fox had es-
capped was too small to permit them to
get through.
When the hunters rode up, they
found the pack in trap, with one of
the hounds wedged fast in the hole
through which the fox had made its
escape. By the time the hounds were
got out of the cellar the fox was safe
in it's hole.-P Philadelphia Times.

A Rule That ELECTS Protest From
Married Women-
81 do wish some one would write
few rules for men," said young mar
rled woman recently. I'm aWfully
tired Of reading in magazines and
newspapers that must meet my hus-
band when he comes home from his
Office pleasantly and cheerfully, that
the house must be like new pin, l
must be prettily gowned, the dinner
must be daintily cooked and served
and that he mustn't be worried with
recital Of the troubles of the day, no
matter If delirium supervenes for me.
s4These precepts are all right theoret-
ically and under ordinary circunl-
stances are practical. Every woman
follows them instinctively who wishes
to yetain her husbands admiration, but
why aren't there few Laws Of this
sort laid down for men to follow?
"Why isn't there some one to tell
them to look cheerful when they come
In and to forbear to grumble If dinner
is a trifle late for any good reason, to
be little sympathetic and affection
ate and remember that theirs are not
the only troubles in the house?
According to the ordinary writer, a
woman's whole married life should be
spent in practicing expedients to keep
her husbands love from growing cold,
while he apparently may pursue any
course he pleases, civil or uncivil, ty-
rannical or gentlemanly, and be sure of
retaining hers.
sThis may not be the masculine idea
OF the case at all; the sterner sex may
not really expect to get the whole
globe and give nothing in return, but
It is not the writer's fault If they don't.
1 sedulously keep all such articles
away from John, for he's very good
husband, and I'm afraid such litera-
ture would put ideas into his head and
spoil him.
''Now, poor unenlightened soul, he
has an idea that my side Of the part
nership has Its own worries, and he
tries to help me straighten them out,
but who knows how he would change
IL he ever discovered that he Is really
made of china and has to be handled
with care to keep from being broken2 2"

Woman is often referred to by man

Woman is often referred to by man as
doubling his joys and halving his sor-
rows. That may be mplimentary but
it would seem to be rather hard on the
woman. For in plain terms it means that
where things are going well with the man
his wife makes them go better. But
when things are going i'll with him he ex-
poets the wife to share half his burden.
And there's more truth than poetry in this
presentation of masculine selfshness.
Men don't appreciate the fact that the
strain of motherhood alone is burden
bigger than any which rest upon male
shoulders. They see the wife grow thin,
pale nervous and worn without thought
that she is overburdened. Among the
pleasant letters received by DR.. Pierce's
are those from husbands who have walked
up before it was late to the crushing bur-
dens laid upon the wife, and in the search
for help have found in DR.. Pierce's FaYo-
rite Prescription restorative which has

the maiden and the maiden's happiness.

almost always cures. 1t has perfectly
