WOULD NOT BUILD A CHURCH.
to Make His Escape from
the Country.

TWENTY-FIVE years ago." said min
ing man, relates the Washington
Star, II was in a Colorado town,
and one day sheep herder came in
with a report of gold find, and col
lected II of us to 60 with him to or
ganize it into a district and stake off
our claims. We got through with it
too late in the day to start home
again, so we camped in our blankets.
We were stretched around the fire
when someone proposed that we de-
vote the time before going to sleep to
telling who we were and what
brought us to that remote country.
Scarcely man in the party was
known by his name, Judge and Doc
and 'Parson' and Shorty and Cock
eye and such characteristic soubri-
quets designating each of us. Most of
the men were simply foaters and
drifters, and they were there because
it happened so and there was chance
to get rich quick and easy. When it
came to 'Shorty's' turn to respond he
startled us by the story of tragedy
in which he had killed two men in
Vermont and escaped because the
sympathy of the community was with
him, although not sufficiently so to
permit him to remain at home. The
wild west was his best opening, and
he had come there to end his days in
whatever way might be. The story
cast a gloom over the assemblage, so
to speak, which was lightened some
what by the spokesman calling on
the 'Parson.'
"'Well, Parson,' he said, what
brought you out here?'
"'You called me right laughed that
member, 'for I was a parson. I had
a place in small town in Pennsyl-
vania, wife and five children and

willing to lessen my chances to enter
the Kingdom of Heaven by 25 per
cent. for a 25 per cent. increase OF
pay, when the end came by my re.
fusing to build church.
"The idea of a preacher in that fix
building a church seemed to be SO
funny that everybody laughed, and
How was that, Parson,' came from
half dozen questioners.
"'Oh, he replied, hesitatingly, the
congregation raised S7,314.60 to build
a church, and skipped out with it,

Good Bedding for Horses.

A good way to Keep horses clean in
the stable is to clean out all dirt, ETC.,
and then cover the floor about three
or four inches thick with dry saw
dust, as far back in stall as the horse
usually stands, then cover the saw
dust with straw, or bedding that you
may use. The sawdust will absorb
the moisture and therefore make the
other bedding last longer in case it
is scarce. The sawdust should be re-
placed by fresh occasionally.

cured, and do not hesitate to give unstinted
praise to your great remedy, Peruna."
The causes of summer catarrh are first,
chronic catarrh; second, arrangements of
the stomach and liver; third, impure blood.
Such being the case, anyone who knows
anything whatever about the operations Of
Peruna can understand why this remedy is
4 permanent cure for summer catarrh. It
eradicates chronic catarrh from the system,
invigorating the stomach and liver, cleanses
the blood of all impurities, and therefore
permanently cures by removing the cause,
"a host of maladies peculiar to hot weather.
The cause being removed the symptoms dis
appear of themselves. :.

them whenever she saw the need, but
finds It almost impossible to make the

One day she visited n family who
were all huddled together in one bare,
cold room, and their faces were so
pinched she knew they were starving.
But In response to her offer to help
them the mother said:
"No, thank you. The children have
had something today. I am sure to get
work soon"
After questioning as to just exactly
what the children had had to eat Mrs.
Burns found that they had subsisted
for three days on a few dried scraps OF

THAT LINN COUNTY TAX LEVY

Thecommunication signed Taxpayer"
which appeared in TnE JOURNAL few
days ago, in which IL claimed that the
total tax levy in Linn county Is only
l4.5 mills agaitst our 22.05, has aroused
a great deal Of controversy. IL has been
pointed out to The JOURNAL that there
are certain fixed levies for state, school,
scalp bounty, and INDECENT soldiers,
which taken from the Linn levy would
not leave enough for county purposes
TO pay the bills. This looked so plaus-
ible that The Journal has procured the
official figures.
