He was plastic and elastic and could trip
the light fantastic in a style enthu-
siastic with abandon that was rare;
AS a dancer, waltz or lancer, he was quite
a necromancer; with the creases in

compare,
And at cricket, every wicket-football,
pick 1t up and kick it-turned trick

"And why" we asked the managing
board of the great Paris salon, "did
you not hang the painting Of D'Auber,
the great American artist?"
Because" replied the managing
board when we considered the paint
err we couldn't decide between hanging
and burning at the stake"

a graceful compliment to the eloquence
Of the ladies who had addressed the
meeting. He further CALAMITY re-
marked on the great pleasure which it
gives the other sex to listen to women
talking. Pausing for moment after
this observation, Mr.. Gladstone, like
his audience, was thrown into an unex-

voice, which proceeded from the back
OF the hall, and proclaimed in the
broadcast Yorkshire dialect: 9Th, lad,

Colonel Rankin of Three Star ranch

After reaching the ranch and exchang-
ing a dozen shots with the colonel he
explained that it was all mistake and
gave us two extra subscriptions for

stops his Kicker, we want to know all
the why's and wherefores of it, and If
there is any shooting he is to blame for
it.
It is understood that the bon ton of
this town, which consists mostly OF
ourself and Mrs. Major Carter, will
make croquet fashionable game this

shoot at the balls as they roll over the

AN ACRE.

A field Of yetch threshed by JohT
Whitaker the latter part Of last weel
is attracting some attention amonl
farmers. says the Corvallis Times The
field comprised rs acres. and the yield
was 10000 bushels, or over 80 bushels
per acre. From 80 acres the yield was
1115 bushels, or nearly 30 bushels pei
acre.
TO make the crop more interesting
IL Is 10 be understood that the vetch
was cut with a mower, raked up like
hay, and threshed from the cock. II
was quite ripe when cut, and II is es
timated the amount OF grain lost, II
saved, would have swelled the tota
yield TO at least 90 bushels per acre
Much of the grain had fallen down
and was fiat on the ground wher
moved.
The field was sown last fall. II was
pastured until May LIST, and during the
time two bands of mutton sheen were
turned on OF II, The seed IS said Ia
be worth $3.50 a bushel, which, togeth
er with the fattened sheep makes the
crop very profitable. Eight dollars pei
day was paid the machine for thresh
ing. and the average cost per busheI
was 20 cents.
Mr. Whitaker estimates that for hay
the field would have turned OF eight
tons per acre. lie expects 20 SOW a
much larger acreage next year Here

at the end Of that time he did not care
to go on with the contract, the star
route men agreed to take the stock off
of his hands. McIntire was here as
the representatives of the Eastern
contractors. The government pays
them $4,000 for the service and they,
by sub-letting the contract make a
profit of $500. At the end of the
month, however, Mr. Cockrill declined
to go on with the contract. and the
contractors not coming to time with
the coin for his stock. matters came
moned from Klamath Falls. and the
services of an attorney were called
into requisition Matters drifted along
in this sort of pickering until the 1ith
inst. without any settlement. at which
time Cockrill withdrew his stock. and
refused to so on with the service. At
this juncture Postmaster Eagle, who.
as the official at the starting point OF
the line, represented the government.

are carried according to contract,
hired Mr.. Cockrill to continue his SER
vices temporarily, giving him at the
rate of $4,000 per annum, or about $25
per day. The contractors gave bond
for $4,000, so it will seem the govern
