JUST A WORD OF WARNING.
Indiscriminate Kissing of Babies Is a Cruelty for Which There
 Is No Excuse

There are many mothers who give themselves infinite trouble about the big and obvious things connected with nursery management, W ho strive brave y 10 be up to date in the matter of plumbing. ventilation and infectious diseases but who fail w0fuIly when 1t comes 10 certain details One of the most important of these is the disgust ing and dangerous habit of allowing every conner to kiss and maui the baby.
 A baby. no doubt, is a delightful ob- ject and almost irresistible but that IS no reason why advantage should be taken of his helpless condition to of fer him hygienic outrages. Mothers should know that promiscuous kissing Is bad and vulgar habit. productive of much danger to adults as well as 10 children Adults can protect them selves if they like, but infants cannot, and so it is the duty of the mothers 10 protect them. know of a case where a visitor left with d clinging kiss on the lips of a three-year-old girl the quick germs of humps. from which the guest had just recovered.

 Once married the brides family iden- tity at once sinks before her new name and she is never known except as So- and-So's wife. Her chief duty is to attend strictly to her own business, not speaking except when necessary.

A shower of rain will often apparently ruin a silk dress or blouse. Before max ing sure that it has done SO see what ironing it will do. Often the silk may be made to look quite new again by be- ing ironed with moderately hot iron or the wrong side. A piece of muslin laid over the silk prevents any chance of it's being made shiny.

WHY, HOW WE'LL YOU ARE LooKING"
SO full of sad things that l believe we
should be cheered up and made happy
as much as possible. I always tell peo-
pie all the nice things l can say about
them"
| am not dealing with the man side
of it, but | know this about women,
that you can get more out of them by
judicious praise than by censure. The
right word of encouragement and ap-
probation at the right time means the
world to a woman.
Mothers who don't believe in telling
their daughters their good points for
fear of making them conceited and
who when talk becomes personal in
variably call their attention to their
faults "for their good"-these mothers,
| say, need not be amazed If their
daughters find elsewhere the praise
they don't get at home.
It's as natural as the way q flower
turns its face to the sun. So long as
woman lives she wants to be appreci-
ated and to be told that she Is.
After all, it isn't so very hard. Try 1t
on your friends and see how they will
respond. Stifle your critical mood and
if your friend comes in to see you
wearing a pretty costume speak of it.
Is it much of a bother to say, "Why,
how well you are lookingI"
And it will perhaps cheer her for the
whole day.
If you don't believe me, look back
On your past experiences and contrast
your friends. You will find that you
like best those who say nice things to
you-nice things that are true, of.
course. One readily sees through the
other kind.
We hear of our faults soon enough,
and our %stupidities the world filings
back in our face most brutally, but
the kind words of our friends we can
keep in our hearts to make life easier.

All this was done during the absences

which the body was lying.
After numbering Sikora, Francisco
went to his apartments and by means
of keys taken from his dead body

NATIONAL Bank CT this pla ;e and wI,h
drawn pistols ordered hands W.
Every official and clerk instec / of
complying jumped for his gun, a sup
ply of which are cached in various
corners of the bank, and began to
fire on the intruders, who took to
the street, firing in return, but doing
no damage.
The cashier, l. o. Middaugh, not
content with the retreat of the rob-
hers, followed them into the street
and was shot through the chest By
one cI the robbers, and instantly
killed.
The robbers who were in full re-
treat when they left the bank, then
climbed upn their horses and fled at
full speed, entirely bootless, having
not secured a dollar. Many citizens
fired at them as they fled.
A posse was Immediately formed
and is on the trial of the robbers, who
are headed apparently for the Gray

Middaugh was the only person iR-
jured unless 1t be that one of the rob-
hers was shot, which is uncertain,
though il is very strange should they
have gotten away without being hurt
as dozen citizens took shots at
them before they disappeared.

1t is reported that the 1905 wool
clip of Wallowa county, is being con-
tracted at from I6 to IS cents per
pound and that a large proportion
of the clip is already sold at those
figures.
Buyers are securing the country in
every direction and the keenest COM
petition among buyers and commits
sion companies exists.
In speaking of the wool situation
i'm Umatilla county, A. II. Sunderman,
the well known sheepman. says:
lowing to the scarcity Of wool in
the markets of the world and espec-
tally in the markets of the United
States, wool prices and sheep prices
promise to be excellent next year, no
matter who is elected president.
''The influence of the election is
not being felt in the market; the
high prices are caused now and will
be caused next year by the need of
wool by the scarcity of the commod-
ity In the wool centers.
"The old wool is all sold out of
the commission warehouses in the
markets, new avenues of trade are
consuming greater quantities of wool
and the narrowing range area is re-
ducing the wool clip in different wool
producing districts each year, SO the
prospect for good prices is entirely
independent of the election or its re-
suit. Neither party can increase the
visible wool supply of the world nor
check the increasing demand for
wool. as population increases.
$50 far, there is not a pound of
wool contracted in Umatilla county,
and I hope there will not be. The
wool of this county has been of SO
much value to the woolgrowers, that
hope it will be sacredly regarded |
and not pound Of wool
sold outside Of it."

himself. He tied a silk handkerchief
