THEY EYRD HIM.
Small Boys and a Firecracker Shooter
Celebration Incident.

a stranger of II or thereabouts en-
tered local establishment and in
quired the price of firecrackers.
Give me dollar worth was his
next remark. He took the package,
walked outside. sat down on box,
and proceeded deliberately to fire off
the crackers a bunch at time.
Then he re-entered the store, called
for another dollars worth. and again
seating himself on the box. repeat
ed the operation.
By this time, he was surrounded
by a crowd of small boys, who eyed
him with wonder and admiration.
They had never seen such princeiy
prodigality. He fired his crackers
nonchalantly as though it were a
duty, or business transaction.
When the second dollars worth
was exhausted, he walked back in
to the store. This time, the prop
rietor, who had been silent obser-
yer of proceedings, expected his
customer to buy out his whole stock
of crackers. Only half a dollars
worth was ordered on this trip, how
ever, and the new supply was exp1o-
ded in the same prodigal way that
the others went, after which the in
cident closed.
The wonder is, ifthe cracker buy
er got s. so worth of fun. His
crowd of small boy onlookers could
have had whole lot more pleasure
out Of the big pile of good firecrack-
ers he spoiled.

BANIsH THE BOMB.

1t is to be hoped that before Cor
wallis celebrates again, the firing
of bombs. frecrackers, and other
explosives will be strictly prohibit
ed on the principle streets The
practice, to most people, is ser
isus Interference with the pleasures
of the day, and is constant source
of danger to life, limb and property.
Huge bombs are exploded in the
midst of crowds of persons for the
purpose of seeing the weak.nerved
jump. They are thrown in the
street to burst as spiritedhorses are
passing, or as ladies are driving
by. That last Monday passed
without a serious accident is an
actual source of wonder. The
bomb and the frecracker, as mat
ter of fact, are of heathenish origin,
and best beliked in heathen lands.
If there is real pleasure for any
body in firing them, such should
congregate in broad field, outside
of town, and there with all such
explosives as cunning can design,
make Rome howl with the noise.
In that way harm will not come to
the innocent, and the pleasure of
many people will be heightened. A
city ordinance to Danish the
the bombs would be popularity ap-
preciated and be measure of safe
ty. Nearly five thousand people
were killed or injured by use of
explosives at the 4th of July cele-
brations of last year. Over 600
were killed outright, 10 were made
totally blind, and IS lost an eye.
The property lost by fire, result
ant from the explosives, ran into
millions of dollars. Worst of all,
the explosives, it has been demon
strated, cause tetanus Or lock jaw
in human beings. and some years
ago, this horrible death overlook SO
many people after a celebration in
an Eastern town, that there result,
ed a belief for some time that an
epidemic of tetanus might at aiy
time follow celebration attended
with carnival of explosive firing.

OREGON AT ST. LOUIS.
Has Longest Timothy on the Grounds
Crowds Admire Webfoot Fruit.

Worlds Fair Grounds, St. Louis
Mo-, July 5-The last week has
seen many visitors in the Oregon
state agricultural exhibit in the
Louisiana Purchasel Exposition.
Occupying, as it does. a good To-
cation on the main aisle of the agri-
cultural building, the exhibit draws
very good crowds.
The most noticeable feature Of
the state display is the excellent
showing and arrangement OF grains
and grasses: 1t is said to have the
longest timothy hay in the whole
building, quite an honor when it is
remembered that the whole world
is represented.
Beside the displays of grains and
grasses there are Oregon hops aud
hundreds of jars of preserved fruits.
The farming industry of the state
has been well examined, and the
resulting exhibit speaks very cred
itably for Oregon.
The principal part of the horti
cultural display is the pruues and
apples. The prunes especially
attract considerable attention, aud
at banquet of horticultural super
intendents held last week, they
were served up in style. and many
words of commendation were ex
pressed for the Oregon fruit. 4
couple of boxes of Oregon apple:
were also opened which brough
similar results.
Each day Oregon prunes are
demonstrated in the exhibit by c
V. Galloway of Yamhill. superin
tendent of horticulture. The prune:
are cooked without sugar just t,
show how sweet they grow, ane
served cold to the crowd. They
are very popular and advertise the
fruit to young and old.

ILWACO, Wash, Feb. 25. - The
schooner Frank w. Howe, from Port
Townsend to San Francisco, Can't.
keegan, is ashore at Long Beach. The
l1fesaving crew took five men off, three
men of the schooner being killed by
having been struck by a heavy sea.
The schooner was driven on Long
Beach by the strong southerIy winds
sweeping along the coast. The schooner
was sighted by the lookout at North
Cape, but owing to the thick weather
her name could not be made out. Sig
nails Of distress were displayed when
the vessel headed into the breakers and
the lifesaving crew at this station put
out to the rescue.
The vessel went onto the sands in
the bend directly north of the cape
near the place where the Columbia
river lightship was stranded some
years ago between Boards Hollow and
Sea View.
AS the schooner struck upon the
sands men were seen climbing to the
rigging. Seas were breaking over the
hull and most heroic efforts only on
the part of the lifesavers made 1t pos
sible to get the shipwrecked men from
their perilous position The vessel was
deep in the water and handled badly
before she struck, indicating that she
was leaking and waterlogged.
