Caught Red handed.

Con WEIGH and Anthony King, two
"bootleggers," were bound over to ap-
pear before the federal grand jury in
Spokane this week on charge of selling
LIQUOR to Indians. The apprehension of
the men was made by U. $. Deputy I. l..
Davisson. Capt. Simpson, well-known
and higbly-respected Indian OF the
Yakima reservation, was the immediate
cause of Kings Embarrassment.
The two were in a lavatory together,
and King was just in the act of handing
over the bottle to the captain when
Deputy Davisson intruded upon the
scene.
Capt. Simpson feels very much
ashamed about the matter, and in tell
ing his story was apparently ratified and

She Objected TO Beine Kissed.

A young woman of Connecticut has
brought against young man a suit
which has seriously disturbed the whole
east. 1t appears the woman, who con-
fesses to 20 years of age, was engaged to
the man, but had notified him that he
should not kiss her until after marriage.
One evening the youth seized her and,
despite her resistance, gave her what
our eastern exchanges call luscious
smack" The woman at once broke off
the engagement and has had the young
man arrested on charge of assault. We
gather from our exchanges that the en-

Changing Methods.

The man lived in the northern part OF
Lane county. His name is not known.
The story came to the Times from cit
izen of Corvallis who heard it from the
owner of the farm.
The man had mortgage. 1t was a
big mortgage and he saw no way of lift
ing it. He had tried year after year,
and at the end of each season the bur-
den seemed to grow greater
At length he determined to give up
the farm. He went to the man who
owned the mortgage and told him that
deed would be signed to the place any
time that it would suit. The interest
could not be paid this year, and it
seemed hopeless to struggle on in dis
NAL effort to pay the principal.
The money-lender differed from many
in his class. Said he to the mortgage.

Go back to the farm and make one more
effort to save it. Change your methods
a little. You need not pay the interest
this year. Find out where you can get
four or five good brood sows. Come to
me for the money to buy them. Put a
part of your land in a patch of peas.
Come to me tor the money to buy your
seed" That was seven years ago.
The farmer tried the new plan. To-
day there is 100 acres of peas on the
place and hogs in abundance. The in
terest has been paid on time ever since
and the mortgage is nearly lifted. II

at Miramichi, was sent for. &

H HI IN WOMEN.
Students Of Nervous System Say It
- Is Due to Impulse.
Failure to Consider Results Drives
Them to Spectacular Deeds
They Act First and Think
SOberly Afterward.

= Students of the nervous systems
of men and women frequently have
called Eeroism-as it is generally &C.
cepted-simply pathological indi-
cation Of hysteria. The basis for
this is in the fact that SO often a
person who has no idea of the art
of swimming will plunge into water
far beyond his depth in the effort to
rescue some one already struggling
beyond his powers. The point made
is that in such cases true heroism is
not involved; that hysterical impulse
only prompts the person to the deed.
All of which, says the Chicago Tri-
bune, points to the fact that it is
much easier to become a heroine
than it is to become a hero.
For instance, little Mamie Milti-
more, living on the Dugdale road,
near Waukegon, is a full fledged
heroine because she chased a burglar
more han mile through the ravines
and woods of that section, and only
gave it up when, in burst of speed,
he raced up long hill and outdis-
tanced her hopelessly.
The child, 10 years old, saw man
breaking into the house of William
Butler. A woman neighbor had her
attention attracted also, and started
after the fellow. He ran, soon leav-
ing the woman behind, but the child,
more fleet of foot, continued the
chase, keeping up with him for more
than 7 mile. Several times she was
so close to the fellow that he threat
ened her, but she did not give up.
until finally he started up an unus-
ually steep hill, and ran so fast that
she could no longer keep him in
sight. The child, however, had a dis
tinct idea of what she was trying
to do. She explained that she meant
only 20 keep him in sight, hoping
that they finally would come upon
