A Fine Piece of Work.

We dropped into the studio of A..
Berger, in the Engbretson building
yesterday afternoon, and were per-
uitted to inspect painting from life
of Atty. E. P. Johnson, which Mr.
Berger has just been finishing. 1t is
the most lifeliKe picture of the kind
we have ever seen, and it seemed al
most as if Mr.. Johnson was sitting in
the chair. There are few cities the
size of DEBORAH in which such fine
work can be secured, and DEBORAH is
proud to nave such good workman
here. 1t will be a treat for those who
appreciate artistic work to see this
picture, and will be lifelong pleasure
FOR the family of Mr.. Johnson to own
It. Among number of other hand
some paintings was splendid picture

Seven thousand head of old ewes
from the Wallowa ranges were brought
into Pendleton yesterday for shipment
to North Yakima. The animals were

market, Mr.. Kuykendall said:
TIE trade in sheep, especially old
ewes and yearlings, is very brisk. Few
lambs ale being sold. but the sheepmen
are getting rid of their old stock. The
reason for the sale of so many sheep TO
Yakima dealers is due TO the fact that
the Seattle markets are reached easier
from that point than from Wallowa.

THE WORD LIVERY.

It Originally Meant Something De-
hvered or Freely Given.
Our word livery is derived, through
the French, from the Latin liberare, to
deliver. Hence a livery originally
meant something delivered or freely
given, and came to be applied to an
allowance of food or clothes.
From Norman times an English no.
bleman allotted fixed "livery' Of
bread, wine and candles to his servants
for their private use. A remnant Of
this system still survives at Oxford
and Cambridge, where the fellows of
college are entitled to a daily allow
ance of food called commons
An allowance Of provender for a
horse was also called a livery, and a
horse fed and groomed for its owner
at fixed charge was said to be lat
livery"
In the middle ages "liyery' was worn
by any one who was In any sense in
the service of another of superior rank
or station.
The trading companies of the city of
London used to provide a special attire
for their freemen, who became known
as liverymen, a title which they still
retain.

THE OSSETINiANS.
4 Race OF the Caucasus Mountains
With a Georgian Dialect. ri

a Race OF the Caucasus Mountains
- With q Georgian Dialect. ~
In the highest parts Of the Caucasus
mountains, around the Ixasbeek region,
there Is tribe, very tall and hand
some, which speaks it's own peculiar
dialect of the Georgian language and
has its own peculiar customs, differing
in many ways from those of the
Tscherkesses, Armenians, Circassians
and other tribes that dwell in the same
country. 1t is the tribe Of the Ossetin-
fans.
Like the rest Of the Caucasus tribes,
they have recognized Russia's authori-
ty. But they adhere to the claim that
they are not descended from Asiatic
races, like the other tribes, but that
their ancestors were German knights
who had gone to the crusades and who,
after. the disastrous end of the last
crusade, had been driven into the wild
valleys Of the Caucasus, whence it was
impossible for them to win their way
out and homeward owing to the Wig
lance Of the Moslem foe. So at last
they settled down and took wives
among the Caucasus mountain women,
who have always been noted for their
beauty.
It is a strange fact that the Osse-
tinians understand the science of brew
ing malt liquors, and they are the only
ones who drink beer, the other tribes
preferrlng Asiatic liquors.
