Patent Reversible Poem for Humid
Weather.


(From The Denver TimesD
The following lines may be read either
Up or down without altering the sense:
The stars We're all alight.
The moon was overhead;
named her queen of night,
IS she my footsteps led
So wondrous fair was she
| asked her to be mine,
As she glanced UP at me
| thrilled with love divine
Beside the meadow bars.
As she stood lingering there,
Her eyes were like the stars.
In radiance wondrous fair.
Your. all the world to me.
She mWmured sweet and shy
a thrill Of ecstasy
] feit at her reply.
Love led us all the way,
As we turned home again;
our hearts were light and gay,
The world was blissful then
Though shadows cross the SKY.
No gloom our hearts could know,
True bliss is ever nigh
When hearts are blended so.

George Mudgett, treasurer of Spo-

prominent farmer of the Dry Greek

have just returned from a short trip
to Chicago where Treasurer Mudgett
succeeded in placing 100000 of Spo-
kane countys bonds at Az per cent
interest per annum, replacing 2O-year
bonds bearing 6 per cent interest.
Mr.. Mudgett expressed himself we'll
pleased at the success of the trip. L

PLENTY OF FORAGE|
EASTERN OREGON STOCkMEN
ARE WELL FIXED FOR A
LONG HARD WINTER.
K. n. johnson Has Returned From a
Trip Through Grande Ronde
Valley.

Robert H. Johnson, a proprietor of
the Electric Feed mills in Third street
has returned from a weeks business
trip through the Grande Ronde valley.
There is little snow in that section
Of the country but it is bitter cold" he
said this morning in speaking of con-
ditions in eastern Oregon. 4 drove
pretty much over the valley and was
surprised at the general prosperous
condition of the country.
up to this time the stock and sheep
men have had to do very little feeding
although they have plenty of forage
for hard winter. The range along
the foothills is very good and should
there be little snowfall the cattlemen
will pull through the winter in fine
shape.
Cattle and sheep are commanding
fair prices and with a favorable year
the stock interests have been prosper
Gus this season. The rumors of a
dried up range and lack of hay is in
my estimation all bOsh. Every point
visited there seemed to be any guam
tity of bay and forage and as a con-
sequence the price is not soaring to
figures that have been reported. of
course hay is selling at fair prices but
it is not prohibitive for stockmen to
feed during the winter which they are
prepared to do should it be necessary"
Mr.. Johnson visited La Grande
Union and other points in the valley
and reports all the towns are very
prosperous. Merchants are doing a
good business and all in all the coun
Try appears to be in a very prosperous
condition.

CRAZED BY HYPNOTISM.
SINGULAR Case of O'Shea Committed
to Fergus Falls Hospital

FERGUE FALLS, Mimi, Dec. 10
Sheriff Bailey was down from the vi
cinity of Memidji today with an insane
man named George O'Shea, who was
committed to the hospital. The case
is a peculiar one, O'Shea having evil
IDENTIFY been the victim of a hynOtist.
He imagines at times that he is being
hypnotized, and acts exactly like one
under hypnotic influence, even becom-
ing absolutely rigid-a condition
which no ordinary individual could
feign. The authorities believe he has
been subjected to hypnatic influence
and has never fully recovered.
Herman Schmalz, young man,
has patented what is known as a safe
ty pipe, the coptrivance being shaped
somewhat like a cigar, and construed
partly of wood and partly of asbestos.
It is closed in such manner that no
ashes can fall from it, and it can be
smoked with safety in a powder mag
azine.
