In the territory to the northwest of
Pendleton, where in ordinary years the
wheat and barley crops are not depen-
ded on to turn out very large, this sea-
son the yield runs from 20 to 80 bush
els to the acre. Elsewhere in the
county the yield is expected to be not
so large as in some former years, but
will be good, however, and the quality
excellent. Every farmer in Umatilla
county will be at harvest by next Mon
day and most of them have already cut
some grain.

Hanged Himself.

Hillsboro, Ore, July ls.-The lifeless
body of H. S. Humphreys, a prominent
real estate broker of this city, was found
hanging by rope from the limb of a
small fir tree. Humphreys was the guard
ian of Mrs. Amanda Shipley, an insane
ward, and also administrator of the estate
of the late Judge Humphreys, his father.
1t is thought that worry over the condi-
ton of the estates and other financial
troubles caused him to turn to suicide as
the speediest solution of the difficulty.
Ulrich Piper, young man Of Farming
ton, also committed suicide by shooting
himself through the head with a revolver
He had consumption and was respondent

The secretary of the treasury has
received letter from G. Rudolph, S26
Broadway, Brooklyn, n. Y, on the sit
uation at Cape Nome. The depart
ment sees no reason to doubt the trust
worthiness of the story told by Ru-
dolph. 1t is becoming daily more ap-
parent to the officials that the condit-
ions in the new gold fields are almost
certain to result in great suffering dur
ing the coming winter, especially as
epidemics of smallpox and typhoid fe-
yer are threatened. Rudolph takes a
very gloomy view of the outlook at
Nome, where he arrived on June IL,
and whence he departed on June 20.

Laur l Crowns.

The laurel crown used to decorate the
brow of the victor in the old Olympian
games, or the head of some triumphant
general, was composed of bay leaves.
The bay is Taurus nobilis, and thus the
wreath or crown has been called laurel
or bay, according to the whim of the
writer. The bay was considered by the
ancients to be an antidote against poi
son and a security against lightning its
leaves were used to provide a pleasing
incense, and a spray Of bay was car
ried in the garments of all superstitious
persons as guard against all dangers.
1t is interesting to note how the laurel
or bay has passed down to these more
prosaic times; the heads on medals,
coins, etc, are almost always crowned
with laurel Then we have a poet

said one, who appeared to be the chief
of the gang.
But the men had already begun to
tackle the food prepared for Colonel
Wentworth and his party and showed
no inclination to move.
Zoe, seeing this, conceived a plan.
Have some supper, by all MEANS"
she said, crossing over to the side
board for the wine, which she passed
freely round the table, smiling and con-
versing with each robber in turn.
Here's a bumper to the finest lass

with difficulty.
"Shut up, idiot" remarked one of his
companions, politely emphasizing his
remark by the aid of an empty pie

''but if you like l will fetch some of
my fathers old port from the cellar.
Shall l go?"
Eyes, yes" they exclaimed, in chorus,
clinking their empty glasses.
One of the men, less tipsy than the
rest, stumbled to his feet to accompany
imperious gesture.
When outside the room she quietly
turned the key in the lock. She was
just on the point of going up stairs to
rouse the men servants when she heard
carriage wheels coming up the drive.
A second later she was tearing down
the drive like a mad creature.
"Stop! she painted to the bewildered
coachman, who drew up with a jerk.
Some one opened the carriage door.
Great heavens is it you, Miss Wen
Zoe-what is wropg?" whispered Major
Miner, full of anxiety, for the carriage
lamps revealed the pallor of her face.
In a few words she managed to ex-
plain to them the meaning of her sud-
den appearance, and how she had man
aged to keep the burglars prisoners un-
til their return.
"Well done, Zoe" said Major Miner,
in an undertone, as he passed by her
on his way into the house, and the look
in his eyes sent a thrill of pleasure
through her. She did not answer but
turned away smiling softly to herself.
The robbers were captured with lit
tie difficulty, their tipsy condition max
ing it easy for their captors, and the
morning found them safely ensconced
in the nearest police station.
Major Miner did not attempt to find
words to express his admiration for
Zoes pluck, but from that hour his
feelings towards her underwent a
change, and she, realizing her victory,
was content.
Three months later they were mar
ried.-The Princess.
