THE RANGERS STORY
~, unzEKIAm nuTrERwoRrn.

The old time travellers, cattle men
and pack pcddlers between Fort
Wayne and Chicago carried with
them a stock Of stories, some of which
were very curious. These story tell
ers were called raconteurs and their
stories courier dc bois' tales. One
day as some cattlemen were lying
down before a road house in view of
the floral sea of the prairie under the
cool and ripping trees. a post rider,
who was known as a wood ranger,
came TO his cncampment. lie wasa
good man and his thoughts preached
wherever he went. lie told riddle
stories"
The post rider carried impor-
tant dispatches and valuable treas
ure. lie had become oyerbur-
dcned with his mail, and he
needed a trus,y assistant with
a new horse. lie found that a trusty
horse could be purchased at the road
house, and he knew that all Of the
cattle men and boys on the green
would be glad TO enter his service on
government pay, but whom should he
select? After resting for a time the
men began to talk Of their forest
journeys in the north, around the
great lakes. Some OF the men we're
rude and passed very severe judg-
menis upon those whom they met
on the roads. The post rider did not
like the tone Of these suspicious. He
was asked to relate n story. His
stories were often like parallels. They
discovered character. A little lad
lay on the grass with bare feet and an
earnest face. The post rider said to
the men:
II do not know you now, but | will
tell you II story and from it | think

upon herself The trouble between children and their mothers
too often Is due TO tho fact that tho mother has some female
weakness, and she IL entirely unfit 10 bear the strain upon her nerves
that governing a child involves; II Is impossible for her to do anything
calmly. She cannot help IT, rs her condition Is due to suffering and
shattered nerves caused by some arrangement Of tho uterine system
with backachc, headache, and all kinds Of pain, and she Is on tho verge
OF nervous prostration.
When a mother finds that she cannot DO calm and quiet with her
children, she may be sure that her condition needs attention, and she can
not do better than to take Lydia II. PinLham's Vegetable Compound.
This medicine will build up her system, strengthen her nerves, and
enable her to calmly handle a ~disobcdhnt child without q scene. Tho
children will soon realize tho difference, and seeing their mother quiet,
will themselves become quiet.

Mrs. E. II. Tayfor Enterfaiils

A
Just now when nature study is
claiming SO much attention, it
has become popular fad when
one wishes to entertain their
friends to take them to some quiet
retreat, where nature will gladly
assist as hostess for the occasion.
Corvallis can boast of many such
retreats, but perhaps there are
none better adapted, or more ac-
cessible than Avery's grove on
the banks of Marys river. 1t
was a happy thought that prompt
ed Mrs. E. H. Taylor to enter
tain a number of her lady friends
there on Wednesday afternoon.
Never. perhaps, has the grove
appeared more beautiful, and the
many pretty summer dresses
worn by the guests added charm
to the scene. Conversation Is
easy when unrestrained by CON
ventionaiities, and '.the hours
like golden moments flew'' all
too swiftly until the cloth was
spread and refreshments were
served. Never did coffee have {
finer flavor than that boiled ovel
miniature camp fire, nor fwer>
sandwiches, ice cream and cake
more appreciated. So thorough
4 ly did the guests enjoy the after
noon, that it was six O'Clock be
fore they regretfully took theil
leave, after thanking their. host
ess for charming afternoon. 2

BELOVED OF ALL.

Leo, the peacemaker, is dead.
In his passing the Catholic
church has lost its great
spiritual sovereign and states
man, and the world one of It's
profoundest men. He was the
nightiest potentate in Christen-
dom, and as ruler of the Vatican
his influence extended over the
minds of millions. He had 1t
within his power to affect the
temporal sovereignty Of nations.
but he never exercised that
power. His sole thought was
how best to help mankind. He
never went beyond the duties
of his spiritual mission. I'D
ssBlessed Illness he said,
when told that Protestant wed
with Catholic in expressions OF
sympathy for him in his last sick
ness. His life was devoted to
Christ and his church, and nc
suffering was too great for him to
bear, if thereby Christianity was
advanced, and the children oi
the Master brought more closely
together. Enconiums upon his
life, character and achievements
have been offered as freely by the
Protestant clergy as by Cath
olic prelates. Eminent laymen
of every creed have been glad to
recognize and acknowledge the
brilliant qualities of his mind,
and to pay tribute to the beaut,
Of his character. The deep in
terest with which the world KEEP
vigil around the Vatican during
his dramatic battle with death
was sincere homage to grant
old man. , ...,,.- ,..:,..9j .

Refused Beer and Board.

burn and points in Yamhill coun.
ty. He went to Yaquina the
following day.
While in Yamhil1 county he
paid visit to Lafay yette, and was
surprised to find the prosperous
little village of a few years ago,
a dilapidated, deserted collection
of old houses, Once the county
seat, surrounded by fertile
farming country, and favored
with transportation facilities, it
was a thriving little city. But
McMinnville and Dayton have
sapped its life and even the de-
pct has been moved away. The
inhabitants lounge about in front
of the stores, which are mere
junk shops, and blink at curious
strangers.
A farmer rode up the street,
when Mr.. Trask was there, and
accosted every man he saw, offer
Ing board, lodging, all the beer
he could drink and 81 rs per day
to everyone who would accept a
job in the harvest field. The
proposition was met with disdain,
and the visitor rode away remark
ing that the legislature should be.
pefitioned to christen the place
