Scared bv Indians.

One of the most ludicrous pleas for
a pension was made right here in
Portland. When the applicant was
asked if he ever served in the army or
navy, he said "No." Asked as to what
grounds he had based his application
on, he said that he was in eastern
Oregon when the Indians went on the
warpath; that in making for a point
of safety he and some other men were
attacked by the Indians, one of the
other men being killed, and another
wounded. He escaped on account OF
the feetness of his horse, but the
encounter caused him such excite
ment that he had had occasional fits
ever since, and on account OF the fits
he thought he was entitled Is a peu-
sion-Portland Oregonian.

TO PRESERVE THE RED CEDAR
of Keeping~Up the Supply in
the South.

The division of forestry in the ma
tional department of agriculture is
sued bulletin recently on the mat
ter of the reproduction and mainte-
nance of the red cedar in this country.
The ightness, softness and even grain
of this wood have made it a much
sought after of forest products, says
the New York Sun.
It's most general use is in the manu-
facture of lead pencils. Then it has a
place in small coOpeTage, such as the
manufacture of tubs, buckets and
churns. A larger use is for furniture
and bodybuilding.
Still larger is the use of it in tele-
phone and telegraph poles, piles for
building structures over water, and
railroad ties. 1t has also an extensive
place in shipbuilding, and in the cigar
trade for boxes. The wood takes a
high polish and its resistance to decay
makes it especially valuable.
The red cedar of the south Atlantic
states is the most desirable CONNER
cially of all the varieties. The stock
is becoming so depleted that factories
where it is being worked up are being
moved constantly.
No statistics have been secured to
show the extent of this depletion, but
one firm that makes lead pencils told
the agricultural department recently
that the product of at least 1885, 900 red
cedar trees, involving more than $780,
600 cubic feet of that wood, are used
every year in this country for lead pen
ellis. The firm also said that $4,000
cubic feet of it were exported annually.
Falkville, Ala, has been a leading
shipping place for cedar telegraph
poles. The Western Union Telegraph
company has used it as a base of sup
plies for the southern states for nearly
Is years. 1t has sent from there on an
average of $4,000 poles of red cedar
every year.
In 1890 this company sent out 1900
carloads of IS poles each from Falk-
vile. Some of the trees cut down were
100 years old. The cedar is now nearly
gone and long hauls are necessary to
get it ready for shipment.
In every state in the south there
comes a story of curtailment of the
cedar product and the removal of mills
engaged in using it in manufacture.
The price is going up also.
Formerly it could be found anywhere
in Florida. Now it is found in abund-
ance only on the western coast. In
great tracts of Tennessee the virgin
growth of the cedar has disappeared
with that of black walnut. In Texas it
is extinct practically in the Brazos and
Colorado river valleys.
There is hardly another tree that
shows a greater indifference to soil
and climate than the red cedar. 1t
grows best in the northern states

There is a girl who lives near by;
a wOndrOus cultured lass.
In every art she loves to Try
Her neighbOrs to surpass.
On the piano morn and night
She plays selections quaint,
And I am told tbs her delight
To brOider and to paint.
Her name is often seen upon
Some literary page;
And she can tell of what was done
Back in a classic age.
Such admiration does she claim
1t makes her sisters wrctA.

There fingers ne'er a moth.
For young men are a timid sort.
And fear that they by chance
If they should go to pay their court
Would show their ignorance
And set those lovely lips a-curl
And plunge them deep I'm woe;
So. tbs the plain old-fashioned girl
That mostly gets a beau.

CITY POOR NOT wRETCRED.
Where Vices Are Not in
Evidence.

Life is not necessarily altogether
miserable for those who have poor
clothing, poor food and narrow house
room. There still remain some sources
of happiness, not perhaps very many
but enough, where vice and drink are
absent, to make men cheerful, women
patient and children merry, says the
London Spectator. Granting then that
a family living below the poverty line"
is sober and respectable-it would be
manifestly absurd to deny those vir-
tues to a good quarter of the whole
pOpula tiOn-what are the consola lions
open to them? First of all, the happi-
ness derivable from the affections be-
longs alike to all, though among the
very poor we think strong affection is
generally limited to that existing be-
tween parents and children. Secondly,
there is a pleasure to be got from the
general social life of a town. The
fascination exercised by the perpetual
procession of the streets is incOnceiv-
able to those who do not feel it. but
almost al the poor do feel it. How
many people does this fascination draw
from the country? How few who have

man listened to It all with the most
friendly and sympathetic interest.
1t seemed like a quaint, pleasant
dream when it was all over, the beau
tiful music, the walk home, the state
ly adieus of her courtly old escort.
She had enjoyed it, and so, she felt
sure, had Mr.. Barlow, and now it
would be stored away as a pleasant
memory. Her friends laughingly
questioned her about it the next day,
but Hildegarde did not care to talk
much about it. After all, what was
there to say?
It was several days before Hide
garde went into the little shop again.
She half dreaded a return of the old,
taciturn, unfriendly manner. But no,
there was the greeting of real friend
illness in the old mans smile.
"Can you step here a moment, Miss
Hildegarde?" he asked, when he had
tied up her small purchase of pens.
Hildegarde followed him, wonder
ing. The next moment, standing in
the doorway of the adjoining back
room, she gave a low exclamation.
In the farthest corner, furnished,
dusty, and silent, stood harp, its
strings family cleaning in the after
noon sunlight.
ut belonged to my little girl" said
Mr.. Barlow. 81 could never bring
myself to part with it, poor as have
become, but l will lend it to you, if
you will accept the loan. Then you
can take lessons and perhaps become
the great musician, after all" His
eyes twinkled kindly, though there
was curious faltering in his voice, as
if the words cost him something.
"Oh!" exclaimed Hildegarde breath
Iessly. so, Mr.. Barlow!" Then the
tears came into her eyes. and she
could not say any more at all.
There, there!" said the old man
quite cheerfully. 81 am glad to let
you have it, and will take it around
tonight after L close the shop"
need not tell how Hildegarde tried
to tell her thanks, nor of the talk
she had with her mother when she
reached home that wonderful after
noon, nor what they all said to one
another in the coy sitting room
when Mr. Barlow came around in
the twilight. But if Hildegarde
thinks she has more to be thankful
for than any one else in the world,
there is one person at least who will
never agree with her, and that is the
crabbedy man. For is there not al
ways a corner for him in that pleas
ant sitting room, with the easiest OF
easy chairs, where Hildegarde brings
him tea that she has made herself,
and then plays for him in the long
evenings, just as the little maid, dead
so long, used to do?
I do not know if Hildegarde still
dreams of being a great musician,
but she is working hard, and Ap-Mor-
gan himself can give no greater pleas
ure to his crowded audiences than she
gives day after day to those who love
her, the pale mother, the dear old
crabbedy man, and the young people
who make up her circle of friends,
of whom Archie Bale is still chief.
And what is music for if not for this?
Young People.

MAKING AN EXAMPLE.
An English Judges Capture of a
Predatory PettifOEEeF Who
Was TrespassinE.

1t is misfortune of criminal courts
of justice that they attract many at
tOrneys of doubtful or worse than
doubtful reputation, who hover about
seeking to pick up a client by hook or
crook. Lord NOrbury, a well-knOwn
English judge, had long been annoyed
by the presence of such fellows, but
at length one of them was delivered
into his hands, relates Youths Com
paniOn.
1t happened toward the close of a
court session. A shabby-looking at
torney was prospecting for business
in the prisoners dock. just as he
was climbing back over the rails, his
lordship called out shortly:
"Jailer, one of your prisoners is es-
Gaping! Put him back"
Back the attorney was thrust, and
then the following colloquy ensued:
''My lord, there is a mistake here. ]
am an attorney"
81 regret exceedingly" said Lord
Norbury, ''to see one of your profess
sion in the dock"
''But, my lord, am innocent"
EYES," said the judge, "they all
say that, but jury of your fellow
countrymen must settle it."
''But, my lord" said the attorney
now growing desperate, "there is nc
Indictment against me-"
''Then," remarked his lOrdship, ''yOu
will be put back, and if no one APP
pears to prosecute you, you will be
regularly discharged by public proc
lamation at the end of the assize.''

WAS TURNED DOWN,

| After considering the matter OF
county seat removal for nearly
three days, on Saturday last the
Board Of Supervisors decided not
to order the election. The case
was Immediately transferred before
Judge Doan and u mandamus
asked for directing the Board to
order the election. This course
was pursued because the people
here are sure the petition comes
up to the requirements of the law
and that the election should be
ordered.
The petition contains LIP
names, 812 of whom are Taxpayers;
it also represents nearly $780,
600 of ia xable property. 1t repre-
sents several hundred names more
than the law requires and about
$4,000 more taxable property.
For these reasons the people here
felt justifged in taking the matter
into court.
A counter petition was presented
to the Board containing 81 names,
about So of whom had previously
signed the Stafford petition. If
their taxable property had been
deducted from the Stafford petition
it would have still represented
about 1000 more than the neces-
sary amount. But this was not
done; the counter petition was
simply placed on record and then
dumped into the waste basket.
The ground upon which the pray
er of the petition was refused was
that corporations and other none
voters cannot be represented on
the petition with their taxable |
property.
We're this a correct view, Stafford |
would have no standing and would |
give up the fight, but the require
ments of the statute is that peti. !,
tion be presented signed by one
fourth of the qualified electors,
and representing one-third of the
taxable wealth. This does not
mean that one,fourth of the tax
payers shall represent one-third of
the taxable wealth; it says and
means that the petition shall be
signed by one.fourth of the voters
and that the petition shall re-
present one-third of the taxable
wealth. This being true, all tax
able property has right to be re-
presented on the petition and the
petitioners believe the court will
so hold.

AN EXPLANATION.

Two weeks ago the Era receiv
ed an article from the Commercial
Club Of Stafford in regard to re,
moval and division. The article
was put in type as was also an
article from the BUUetH in regard
to the present court house. When
the paper was being made up it
was thought advisable to put the
following over the article from
the Stafford Commercial Club, as it
appeared in the form Of Il local:
"The following article was for
warded to the Era by the Stafford
Commercial Club, with the request
that it be published"
This vas inadvertently slipped
in over the article from the Bulletin
instead Of the article from the
Stafford Commercial Club, and the
error was not noticed until after
the edition had been run of. Of
course the error was an injustice
to the Commercial Club, still we
do not think the GUARDIAN was
justified in printing such a scath-
ing and insinuating editorial in
reply thereto. The Era has been
absolutely fair in this matter. 1t
has always been favorable to
division, and against removal to
Stafford. The Era is printed in
the east end of the county, and it
will at all times advocate measures
which it considers beneficial to
this section. The GUARDIANS in
sinuation that the Era is controlled
by mercenary motives is con-
temptible, because no one knows
better than the editor Of the GUAR
DIAN that the Era'S editorial and
local columns are not for SALE
Era.
THE above explanation from the
Era should be satisfactory to the
people here, but there is not the
slightest shadow of an insinuation
in the GUARDIANS article that the
Era was controlled in the matter
by mcrcenary motives. The article
appearing as it did just before the
matter of county seat removal
was to be submitted to the Board
had considerable influence in in
ducing people withdraw from the
petition, as it led them to believe
that the Commercial Club had |
given up the fight, and vigorous !
announcement of it, whether it |
ater appeared to be an error or
rot, was absolutely necessary to
he cause.
