Misca11ed His Hand.

Clum Reeds hand is not a dia-
mond. He proved this fact to
his utmost satisfaction one day
this week. This is not saying
that Clum's hand is not so valua-
BILE as a diamond, nor yet so or
namental, but it lacks one of the
properties that distinguishes that
GENT will not cut glass. Clum
was arranging Christmas toys in
fetching display OH the shelves
at H. w. Halls, and stepped
back to survey his work, forget
full of the fact that he was bal
anced upon the top of a step lad
der. On his way to the floor, he
endeavored to balance On the
glass show case on his left elbow.
His intention was all right, but
his elbow was too sharp, and as
it passed through the glass,
Clum Strengthened out bis arm.
The knuckles of his hand struck
with great force against the edge
of the broken glass, cutting the
fugers to the bone.

last the farm, for II years occu-
pied by A. J. Hall, at Wells, has
been sold. The owner is J. J..
Yore, of Downeyville, California,

port. are George Green, of Port
land, a former Benton county
boy, and R. N. Williamson, of
Wells. The price paid was $2o.-
IS per acre. The place COM
prises 243 acres, and the part on
which the house and barn are To-
Gated falls to Mr.. Greer, who
will no doubt replace the old
buildings with new ones.

Their Election.

Perhaps in no place of its size
is there a larger lodge of the Or
der, a better class of members,
more interesting meetings or
more perfect harmony, than is
found in the United Artisan
lodge of Wells.
That the attendance is not
larger is source of regret, and
being due to carelessness on the
part of members, could easily be
overcome. During the coming
year it is earnestly hoped that
each one will attend regularly
and do his full duty towards
building up the local lodge still
further.
The Wells Artisans elected Of
6cers last Saturday evening, as

TURNS PHILOSOPHER.
Mr. Jackson has "Studicd Ont" What is
the Matter With the Salvation Army,
and Things in General.


the Matter With the Salvation Array,
and Things in General.
EDITOR GAzETTE:-God grant 1 may
be worthy of the sppellation, "Peace-
maker" as suggested in the heading you
placed over my letter of the End inst. ;
! for nothing would rejoice my heart more,
than to see all the christian people OF
Philomath united In an harmonious en-
deavor to elevate the moral and financial
condition of our beautiful little college
town. And I can also say the same in
regard to Corvallis. For, being as am
a soldier in an '.army OF peace" which
girdles the earth, could not discharge
my duty in any better way than to say or
do something that would cause the re-
conciliation and unity of action among
the followers of Him-the hosts of heav-
en- rang in commemoration of His birth.
Glory to God in the highest. Peace on
earth, good will to men. And what
more fitting time or opportunity than
the coming festivities in celebrating the
greatest event in the worlds history,
could such reconciliation take place-the
birth of the child, Jesus, who was to and
does save His people.
1 think have studied out the reason
or first cause, which leads to go much
strife and contention, both in civil and
religious bodies. 1t is (according to my
observation and view of the CASEY undue
harsh criticism. While it is our prive
lege and right to criticise the conduct of
others, We should exercise that right,
tempered with full measure of charity.
Oh! how it has panied my heart to listen
to the unfriendlv criticisms of comrades
in the Salvation Army of our officers and
leaders, and also in church organizations! !!
And have observed that this kind of
criticisms leads to contention and strife,
and firmly believe this kind of criti
cism led to tie unsatisfactory condition
in the Salvation Amy in Corvallis. 1
feel sure this is the reason of so much
discord in Philonath, in regard to our
city officials.
1t is so natural and easy for US to OBJ
serve the faults and discover the mistakes
of others, and 80 hard to perceive our
own faults and wrongdoings, that we
soop, may say. unconsciously kindle
the fire of distrust and contention, until,
to tie surprise OF our better natures, the
little flame bursts forth in its awful fury
of burning conflagration of angry strife.
This ought not so to be, especially
among christians.
In conclusion let me thank you for
your kindness in publishing my letter OF
End inst, and may the God of peace
abundantly bless you, is the sincere
prayer OF
Yours for better times,
E. A, JACKSON.
