An Anecdote OF Bach.

The Duke Of SaXe-Weimar once invit-
ed John Sebastian Bach, the Nestor Of
German music, to attend dinner at
the palace. Before the guests sat down
to the feast Bach was asked to give
an Improvisation. The composer seat
ed himself at the harpsichord and
straightway forgot all about dinner
and everything else He played so long
that at last the duke touched his shout
der and said, 1--WE are very much
obliged, master, but we must not let
the soup get cold"
Bach sprang to his feet and followed
the duke to the dining room without
uttering a word. But he was scarcely
seated when he sprang up, rushed back
to the instrument like one demented.
struck a few chords and returned to
the dining room, evidently feeling much
better. 81 beg pardon, your highness,'
he said, "but you interrupted me in n
series Of chords and arpeggios on the
dominant seventh, and ] could not feel
at ease until they We're resolved into
the tonic. 1t is as If you had snatched
q glass of water from the lips Of man
dying OF thirst. Now lave drunk the

THE SQUlRE'S CHARGE.
What He Said to the Jury In the HOG
Embezzlement Case.

What He Said to the Jury In the Hog
Endorsement Case.
"Er-h'm! Gentlemen Of the jury"
began Squire Peavy, a moss grown
but shrewd old Arkansas justice of the
peace, near the close Of the trial OF a
citizen who was accused Of embez-
zling q hog, IF you believe what the
lawyer for the defense has said you
will be convinced that the prisoner is
to all intents and purposes, except for
his whiskers and the fact that he stut-
tiers, an angel of light, philanthropist
and an ornament to any community,
who would not know hog when he
saw it, let alone stealth one.
eff you believe what the lawyer for
the prosecution has stated, you will be
apt to lose sight Of the hog altogether
and convict the prisoner Of murder in
the first degree, arson, bank robbery
and piracy on the high seas and finish
your work by hangin' him on the tall
est tree in the township. But If you
are like me and don't believe much
that either Of 'em has said and person
ally know the prisoner, as do, TO be a
good natured but shuckless fellow,
who wouldn't steal anything unless
he had first rate chance, and don't
consider that the testimony has shown
that he had a particularly good chance.

similar circumstances, would not say

The Southern Pacific has again raised
the rate for lumber shipments from
Portland and East Portland to Cali
fornia points TO a prohibitive figure,
says the Pacific Trade Journal. The
tariff has been advanced 10 $3.50 per
ton and affects mills at Portland, East
Portland, Astoria and intermediate
points shipping through Portland. The
Southern Pacific freely admits that the
new tariff is meant to be prohibitive
and that 1t is intended to relieve the
car shortage on their Oregon lines, The
interior mills have but one method of
transportation. while those on the river
and at Astoria have the alternative of
water shipments. The valley mills
must feel duly grateful to the Southern
Pacific for the fostering Of their indust-
ries In allowing them to live and do
business. But this action is not with
out precedent. II has the ear marks
Of the odd days of the Coils P, regime,
California was dictated with c1arish
devilishneSs by old c. P. Huntington
and the freight charges were ''all the
tariff would bear" Since the Hartman
administration of affairs, there has
been no relaxation of the death grip.
although the latest raise in the Port
land rate is a strong reminder that the
tricks of the trade have not been for
gotten.

The big storms Of late and subse-
quent frosts are proving hardship TO
dairy and creamery men in this county
and throughout the valley. The price
Of butter has advanced two cents and
eggs and other farm produce have like
wise taken jump ahead. Local
state that the weather for
the past few weeks and the cold snap
at present prevailing make conditions
worse than have existed for years in
this county and there is no indication
of an immediate amelioration. Strictly
fresh butter is a scarce article on the
market and sells at 70 cents per roll,
50 it is, easily to be seen that If the
price continues to go up or remains
as it is at present for a length Of time,
the article will soon become to be con-
sidered a luxury and its use will be
sparingly INDUCED In.
