Sir Gilbert Parker Would Buy Time.
October Success.

Ever since Sir Gilbert Parker be-
came a member Of the British parlia-
ment, he has been forced to work at
double pace in order TO keep up
with the demand for his literary prod
ucts. In person, Sir Gilbert is of low
er middle height, with keen light eyes
and Is an alert in manner, notwith-
standing a certain substratum Of Brit
ism reserve, which anly serves to COW
er a Western spirit of enterprise and
universally. After a recent session
of parliament, he was hurrying to his
home in Carlton House Terrace, Lon
don, to complete some literary work
He was thinking that what he most
needed was time. more time-longer
days and longer hours. AS he hasten.
ed through a park he noticed the
groups of idle men that filed the
benches. Approaching several men,
he said:
"You men seem TO have a lot of
time that you do not know what to
do with. Now. am a busy man and
| need more hours in every day and
more days in every week to complete
the work have mapped out. If any
of you can possibly devise a scheme
whereby | can buy for cash some of
your idle hours, just call on me.
often wonder that so many men are
weighed down with time that they
have no use for"
With that Sir Gilbert pulled one of
his cards from his pocket left it with
the group, and walked away.

Did Not Like His Treatment.

Hon, John NJ, sommers, an employe
.of Poveys glass works, Portland, a
former Albany lawyer and leader in
the celebrated hold-up legislature, pro
poses to sue the city Of Portland for
heavy damages. The case is reported
like this: Sommers was standing on
Second street, near Main, when a
young lady stopped and asked him
where Columbia street was. While
he was telling her a man rushed up
and knocked him down, and, upon his
getting up, did so a second Tina

TIE OREGON PRuNE.

DR.. Cook. the Salem botanical doc.
tor. deserves credit for his efforts to
make more palatable the Italian prune
grown in oregon TO perfection.
He has done away with lye as a
means OF making the skin tender by
dipping the prunes in hot water, and
thus saving the stomach.
DR.. Cooks prunes cook quicker than
those dipped In lye, have a higher
flavor, and are far more palatable.
When cooked but short time they
are most perfect for eating, having an
amber syrup, with little or no sugar
required.

THE OREGON MAIL SERVICE.

The Journal had one of its choicest
roasts on the Oregon mail service the
other day and is glad to know It has
awakened some one.

credit for the ability of Chief Clerk
Whitney, of Portland, and Superln.

Mail is handled expeditlously and
correctly in the railway postoffice the
errors are reduced to nearly next tc
nothing. The postal clerks. however,
are human, and occasionally err.
"If any complaint is justihable we
will guarantee II TO be either in the
Journals mailing department, or the
Salem postofIice."
The fault is not with The Journal
mailing department or with the Salem
postoffice.
Are they to blame because about
half the time the Eugene dailies get
TO Portland and Salem a day or two
late?

Country mail can all be dumped into

paper who crlticises this system will
do II at his peril.
The Guard does not explain why It

that city so or 100 rules away.

Why, for instance, do widows wear
caps? Perhaps you would say be-
cause they make them look pretty and
interesting, but the real reason is that
when the Romans were in England
they shaved their heads as a sign of
mourning OF course a woman
couldn't let herself be seen with a
bald head, so she made herself a
pretty cap. And now, though the ne
cessity Of wearing it has passed away
the cap remains.
Why do we have bows on the left
side of our hats? In olden times when
men were much in the open air and
hats couldn't be bought for half a
dollar It was the habit to tie a cord
around the crown and let the ends fall
on the left side to be grasped on the
arising of a squall. They fell on the
left side so they might be grasped by
the left hand, the right usually being
more usefully engaged Later on the

What is the meaning of the crosses
or KS on a barrel of beer? They
signify degrees of quality nowadays,
but originally they we're put on by
those ancient monks as sort of
trademark. They were crosses in
those days and meant sort of oath

Why are the bells tolled for the

Why are dignitaries deafened by a
