guage in which he expressed that
faith.
In the darkest days of the civil
war Vermont minister went to
Washington, and while there called on
the president to assure him of the
loyalty of the Green Mountain State.
Thinking that his caller was an Office
seeker. Lincoln was at first quiet and
reserved, but when the real nature of
his visitors errand was made known
he at once changed his whole manner
and began talking freely OF the con-
duct of the war. Something that the
Vermonter said touched him deeply,
and rising to his full height, and rails
ing aloft his long arm, he exclaimed:
Some people think l am running this
war; but all want to know is, what
is it the Other Fellow wants, and am
ready to obey his wishes"

HOW A GOOD MARKsMAN WAS MADE

Began to Wear Glasses.

smith Couldn't Shoot straight Until He
Began to Wear Glasses.
Several men stepped into a Chicago
shooting gallery. One of them, a man
of As, wearing, double-lens spectacles,
picked up a rifle and began shooting.
At every discharge there was an an
swering ring from the target. This
was kept up for twenty minutes and
not a miss was made, whether at the
stationery, revolving or swinging tar
get His friends were surprised. Said
one of them:
"Why, Smith, l had no idea you
were such a marksman."
Neither had IT, said Smith, until
recently. l was always fond of shoot
my life without acquiring extraordi-
nary skill In fact, l was regarded
az at the bottom of the list of third
class marksmen. A year ago failing
eyesight compelled me to begin the
use of glasses. Some time afterward
l happened into a shooting gallery,
and as usual began trying the guns.
To my surprise | found | could not
miss. l took my rifle and tried it at
long range, and l hit che bull's-eye
every time. l have shot great deal
since that, and l scarcely ever miss
In fact, l think l can now class my
self as a first-class marksman. 1t is
due to the glasses, for l shoot as poor
ly as ever without them.
81 consulted my occulist about the
matter, and he gave me long-wind-
ed statement which l could not COM
prehend. l was never nearsighted,
far-sighted, or cross-eyed. In fact, my
eyes had always been normal until
age compelled me to wear glasses. l
only know that before that l was a
poor shot, and since then l have been
a good one"

How much for those socks?" he
asked.
"Two-ffty a Dozen" was the ans
wer.
"I'll give you two and a quarter"
said Slocum, falling into his old
habit
See here, Mr. Slocum'" said the
merchant irritably, 81 want to tell
you once for all that have but one
price. If you attempt to jew me
down again I'll fire you out of the
door. Do you understand me?"
For an hour the two got along
peacefully, when Slocum again sue
cumbed to temptation.
How much for these shirts?" he
asked.
Seven dollars a dozen,"
"Ill give you six and half"
Half in fun, half in earnest, the
merchant grasped his customer by
the coat-collar and elected him
through the open door. The results
were more serious than he contem-
plated, for Slocum fell down long
flight of stairs and reached the
ground in a battered condition. 1t
was necessary to ring for an ambu-
lance, and the unfortunate man was
sent to hospital for repairs.
For a time the merchant kept in
hiding, fearing a summons for assault
and battery. At the end of a week
what was his CONSERVATION at seeing
Slocum hobble into his Office on
crutches. His impulse was to run, but
concealment was impossible.
Slocum limped to him with an air
of meekness and contrition.
"Mr. Robinson" he said pleadingly,
"are you angry with me yet? "T'l
give you $6.75 for those Shirts"

ASKED HIM WAS HE HAWTHORNE
Minister Lost Patisnos After Repeated
Questioning.

OocsttooiuRs
The Rev. A. w. Jackson of Concord,
Mass, retired Unitarian minister,
became known little over a year ago
as the author of the biography of
James Martineau. He does not mind
that sort of publicity, however. 1t
is his striking likeness to a famous
townsman that causes him annoyance,
for he is frequently told that he is
the image of Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Not long ago the climax of his vexa-
ton was reached. He was standing
on the platform of the Concord sta
ton, waiting for a train, when he no
ticed two women, evidently visitors to
the historic town, gazing at him as
nard as they could He started to walk
to the other end of the platform, when
one of them exclaimed in a penetrat-
ing stage whisper, 81 don't care. I'm
going to ask him."
So up she came, grasped the re-
treating clergyman by the coattail,
and almost demanded in her eager
ness, BE you Hawthorne?"
Mr.. Jackson looked at her a mo-
ment in silence. Then, it is report

Ponder This Well.

There is no better indication of
the spirit and enterprise of a city
than the newspapers. published
within its borders. They are the
barometers of its business, social
and moral atmosphere, and for
this reason a community is judg-
ed by the appearance and con-
tents of its newspapers. The
following letter to the GAZETTE
impresses this lesson:
Publisher GAZETTE,
Corvallis, Or.
DEAR SIR: The GAZETTE of
April 4th came duly. Thanks
for the courtesy. Am pleased
with the neatness and -typograph-
ical appearance of your paper,
and if it is an index of your town
you must have a town to be
proud of. Trusting that I may
have the good fortune in the near
future to visit your section of the
country, with we'll wishes, I am,
Yours truly,

A Lively Encounter.

Last Sunday morning Oscar
Healy and a student named Dick
ey engagedin lively scrimmage,
with the result that Mr.. Hea1y
will appear before Justice Hol-
gate today to make explanation.
A number of students have rooms
at the Healy home and rumor
has it that they are not above
that boisterous behavior common
to boys. In a mischievous mo-
ment some of them scratched the
walls and carved the woodwork
of their rooms. On particular
ly hilarious occasion they broke
down one of the beds. On the
morning in question Mr.. Hea1y
went hammer in hand to repair
this latest damage. A number
of students were on the scene
and Mr.. Healy STATED that who
ever was responsible for the
mischief would have to find
rooms elsewhere. Dickey retort-
ed in kind, and-well, right here
testimony begins to differ. The
say that Mr.. Hea1y
struck Dickey on the head with
the hammer while the 1atter's
gaze was diverted. Dickey
blindly felt in the direction OF
his assailant, who side-stepped
and dealt him another blow,
they grappled and Mr.. Healy de-
livered a number of additional
blows with the hammer until
Dickey's head was in such con-
lition that it was necessary to
call in a physician. Mr.. Healy
that Dickey assaulted
aim before he began his defense
with the hammer.

Will Assist Us.

The GAZETTE is pleased to an
nounce that it has secured the
services of Mr.. Otto Herse, re-
Gently of West Point, Nebraska,
to take charge of its job depart
ment. Our business has out
grown its present force and fa-
cilities, and in order to meet the
demands of trade we have found
it necessary to devote the entire
attention of one nan to job work
alone. We believe Mr.. Herse to
be a capable, artistic printer, and
take pleasure in introducing him
to the good people of this COM
munity.
The West Point Republican
has this to say of him.:
Otto Herse, until late city ed
tier of the Democrat, departed
yesterday morning, for Corvallis,
Oregon, in which city he propo-
ses to make his future home, as
soon as he has obtained renun-
erative position, aud send for
his wife, who remains in West
Point in the interim. 1t is with
sorrow that we see Mr.. Herse
leave the community. A bright,
talented young man, he has
scores of friends who will regret
to hear of his departure. Fer
nine years he served as compost
tor on the Republican and for
the last five years he has been
editor of the Democrat. He
had been appointed LEGAL
deputy game and fish warden by
Gov. Savage and is also promi-
nent in church and social circles
in the city. He studied for the
ministry at Midland college,
Atchinson, Kansas, but later de-
cided not to enter that profession.
He, as we'll as his wife, possesses
great musical talent and he is
undoubtly one of the finest tenor
singers in this part of the state.
his veice being we'll modulated
and low and sweet. Wherever
Mr.. Herse and wife may cast
their lot, we hope that success
will crown their efforts.

of the afternoon Saturday. DR..

Buggy Smashed

! William Merrill, of Albany,
acting as assistant lineman to1
the telephone company, figured
ia considerable of a ''srnash up'
early Saturday morning. He
was in Corvallis last week doing
| some work for the telephone
company, and Friday evening
concluded that he would drive
over to his home in Albany. He
was accompanied by a young
lady. The trip was made in
safety and the couple arrived in
Corvallis between 2 and 3
O'Clock Saturday morning.
Directly after leaving the
young lady at her home the team
got beyond the control of Mr..
Merrill in some manner and
showed clean pair of heels. In
front Of DR.. Cathey's residence
the fore wheels and the horses
parted company with the hinder
most part of the turnout and the
driver was thrown out. II is
miraculous that he was not killed
as the bed of the buggy and the
hind wheels rolled over and over
in the street until they were
practically smashed to ''smither-
eens."
Clyde Trap, connected with
the Brick stable, says that it was
just 3 o'clock when the horses
dashed up on the walk in front
of the stable. and not finding the
door open, passed on. He dress
ed hurriedly and went out to
look them up. 1t appears that
one of the horses fell down in
front of Sorbin's wash house and |
the other animal got loose there
and continued its mad race.
Clyde soon located the horse that
fell in front Of the wash house,
and with it the tongue and front
wheels of the outfit. The other
animal was found tied to the
fence near the Frank dairy, Sat-
lrday morning. Neither horse
was injured, but the rig is total
wreck.

The Rural Spirit has this to say
of Benton county horse raised by
Jesse Brown, which wasstaken out
of this county about three years
ago: Pathmark 2:O94 is being
wintered in Winnipeg, Canada, and
will be raced again this year. He
started in nine races last season,
winning six frsts, two seconds and
once behind the money-through
an accident. He has started
against the best horses in that prov
ince and is considered the best on

A miscreant who acts under the
coyer Of darkness is perhaps the
lowest cur that walks the earth.
Not content with rendering himself
contemplate in, the eyes of his
kind, he must render himself OBJ
noxious in his own estimation.
Some such individual seized upon
an opportunity to saw the fame of
Milton Morgan's bicycle nearly in
two last Friday night. Early Sat-
urday morning, while riding along
on fairly good stretch of sidewalk,
the wheel broke down with him and
he was the victim of a vicious fall.
He was lucky to escape with the
few slight bruises that he received
it might easily have crippled him
for life or caused his death. The
wheel, a new cushioned-frame Ram
bier, was wreck. What earthly
good such an act coull do anybody
is beyond comprehension. 1t seems
that society and communities are
unable to deal satisfactorily with
fends who act in this way. Milton
says that he is not aware that he
has an enemy anywhere.
