The old man was smoking his pipe
on the front porch as the young man
left the house.
Things have changed since l was a
lad" suggested the old man.
How so" demanded the young man.
"In my day, when we went counting,
we didn't burn one gas jet, let alone
two"
Possibly" suggested the young man
pontedly, ''if you had fallen heir TO
some gas trust stock about that time it
would have made a difference"
Thereupon the old man went into the
house and told his daughter that when
it came to a question of getting a real
good business man in the family she
could have his consent at any time

IT is favorite theme with some classes
of people, to complain because million
aires rob the people"-and Andrew
Carnegie has come in for his full share
of condemnation az grinding monopo-
list" Now that many of his millions
are returning to the people in the way
of donations to public libraries, the same
classes declare that the money should
not be accepted. Such talk is puerile
and foolish. Andrew Carnegie has more
millions than he can use, and it is com
mendable that he is willing to donate
his money where he thinks it will be OF
the greatest and most permanent benefit
to the largest number of people. The
True Northerner only regrets that his
fortune will not last until there is Car
negie library in every city and hamlet in
the land.

Time to Go to Work.

A woman was once trying to induce
General Sherman to use his influence
for her son in order that he might be
given a place in the army, for which,
however, he had shown no particular
fitness. "His father was In the army"
said the urgent mother, land so were
his grandfather and his great-grand-
father, and it seems as if he ought to
follow the line"
Him! Three generations in the
army" said the general. Don't you
think, madam, that it is about time for
one member of the family to work for
a livingT'

Figs.

After figs have been collected they
are dipped in boiling brine and then
dried on trays for from two to four
days. according TO the weather. The
dipping is supposed to bring the sugar
to the surface and hasten the drying.
After being dried the figs are placed
in 'sweat boxes" holding 1000 pounds
each. where they remain for two weeks.
Then they are washed in cold salt wa
ter to remove all dirt and are packed
by women and girls in half pound, one
pound and ten pound boxes in layers,
being split prelminarily with short
bladed knife.

Recently bent old lady entered one
OF the. Salina street stores and upon be-
ing asked what she wished to see made
reply in what the clerk judged to be an
unknown language. \ second inquiry
proving no more satisfactory, the clerk
excused herself and went in search OF
one of her colleagues who is of German
descent.

you come over to my counter for a min
ute? There's a poor old German lady
there, and | can't understand a word

Miss L. followed and, pausing before
the stool on which the would be Gus

sweetest tones:

The poor old German lady" raised
her handkerchief to her lips and evil

THE Ohio democratic convention re-
fused to indorse the Kansas city platform
and not mention of silver is to be formed
in its declaration of principles. Mr.
Bryan has expressed himself as not
pleased at the action of the convention
Natural, isn't it? 1t is little tough for
a national leader to be left high in the
air by his party, with no consolation but
his pet political principle, abandoned by
his party in one of the greatest states in
the union. 1t is not at all strange that
Mr.. Bryan couples with his avowal OF
disapproval of the Ohio platform, the
declaration that he is not a candidate
for any office.

The great strike in the steel industry,
just being inaugurated, is a remarkable
one.
The organization of the steel workers
is one of the strongest of all American
labor combinations, and the amalgamated
steel industries make up one of the most
powerful aggregations of American
capital.
1t is battle of the giants.
Unlike most strikes, the matter al
issue is not one of wages, nor OF hours
but of principle. The interests at stake
are too vast and too far reaching In their
influence to make long fight probable
The whole people are interested in a
speedy resumption of steel manufacture
as the products of the closed mills are
the most mighty instrument for the adj
vancement of American commercial in
terests abroad.
The True Northerner hopes for a
speedy and wise settlement of the strike

SOME people have an idea that, In
publishing the facts in the case of the
Pabst Brewing company against Napier,
The True Northerner took stand
in opposition to the local option law
Such is not the case. The True Northern
er published the article merely as mat
ter of news, showing a condition OF al
fairs that should be, and is of interest to
every citizen and taxpayer, and especially
to every temperance man. If the sworn
statement of the Pabst Brewing COM
pany is true, and they did furnish to one
druggist in this county nearly 5000 OF
malt liquors in l3 months, it is perfectly
safe to presume that brewers have sold
large amounts of their goods to other
dealers, and also that the distillers have
sold some of their wares in this county.
No one has an idea that the legitimate
sale of liquors of all kinds in the county
during the l3 months, equaled the pur-
chase of Napier from the Pabst Brewing
company alone. The fact is, and The
True Northerner regrets it as much as
any good citizen, that the local option
law is persistently violated all over the
county, and prohibition does not pro
hibit as completely as temperance peo-
pie desire it to donor as completely as
many of them imagine it does. The pro-
hibition law exists, and the good citizens
of the county should rise in their might
and accomplish its strict enforcement.

A Sustaining Diet.

These are the enervating days, when,
az somebody has said, men drop by the
sunstroke as if the day of fire had dawn
ed. They are fraught with danger to
people whose systems are poorly sus-
tanned; and this leads US to say, in the
interest of the less robust of our readers,
that the effect of Hoods Sarsaparilla
is such as to suggest the propriety of
calling this medicine something besides
a blood purifier and tonic,-say, a sus-
tanning diet. 1t makes it much easier to
bear the heat, assures refreshing sleep,
and will, without doubt, avert much
sickness at this time of year.

Which is better, to buy your pianos
and organs of an agent who represents
the factories where they are made, or of
one who only represents San Francisco
and Portland iobbing houses? Is it
worth while to pay an additional profit
to city middlemen for the sake of getting
goods which have passed through their
hands, with double freight charges
added to other needless costs? Would
not the best plan be to have all your
money count on the value OF the instru-
ment itself? We think SO, and for this
reason import all pianos and organs
direct from the factory, depend on quick
sales and small profits and thus give you
a high grade Instrument at moderate
price. All kinds of small instruments
such as guitars, violins, mandolins, etc.

Another Oregon pioneer, Will
liam Hurnden, departed this life
April ~, 1901, the cause of his
death being a severe attack of
pneumonia. He suffered only a
few days when death came to
his relief.
The deceased was born in In
diana, April 4, 1925, being at
the time Of his death Is years
and 8 days old. He was united
in marriage with Miss Franein-
GUS Miller, September 8, 1916.
This union was blessed with
eight children. Three girls and
two boys survive him. A. c.

Mr.. Hurndon crossed the plains
in 1852 and settled in Linn
county near Halsey, where
he lived until 1859. He then
meyed to Benton county where
he purchased the saw mill known
as the Harris mill. He lived
here for ten years and then he
moved to Tum Tunl, where kept
house with his children, his wife
having passed TO the spirit land
March II, 1867. After his
children were married he has re-
sided at different places, yet Ben
ton county has been his home
since 1859. Until recently he has
been residing in Linn county
with his son-in-law, Joseph
Emriek, where he was at the
time of his death.
The deceased has a wide circle
Of friends and was we'll respected
by all who knew him. It is bat
fitting to say that much homer
and reverence is due to the
pioneers who meved westward in
the SOS and endured the trials
and hardships OF early pioneer
life and planted the banner OF
civilization On shis coast, then
inhabited by the merciless IN

parted was familiarly known as
