carried beneath the skin, as in the
wounds caused by percussion caps or
by rusty nails, and when the air is ex-
cluded the germ is reused to activity
and produces the most virulent poison
known. These germs may be destroy

(Crook COUNTY ournal.l

The nerve-shattered, hollow-eyed
trembling newspaper man knocked
timidly at the gate of heaven. St
Peter opened the door, and scraped
his head thoughtfully as the purveyol
of questionable tales introduced him
self and hesitatingly whispered his
occupation.
"And upon what do you base your
claim to be admitted into the golden
region?" asked good St. Peter, as he
scrutinized the shivering features in
front OF him.

vator descended. III
Two years ago, they say, when Park
Doak was running against J. N.

two candidates were in Prineville
making preparations to stump the
county Doak secured his team and
started toward the west about two
hours ahead OF Burgess, who hurried
after him as soon as he learned of
Doak's departure After a drive OF
several hours Burgess came to a well
OF water along the way, where a little
girl, some eight or ten years old, who
was filling a bucket, gave him drink.
Burgess asked the child several ques-
tions regarding Doak, and how long 1t
had been since he passed the place, to
all of which the girl promptly replied.
Then Burgess thrust his hand down
in his pocket and drew forth some
candy.
Here's some candy for YOU" said
Burgess,jn sweet and engaging
voice.
HE gave me some too" replied the
little girl.
Well said Burgess. as he picked
the child up and kissed her roundly
on the cheek, "Ill wager Mr.. Doak
didn't kiss YOU"
You bet he did" chirped the urchin,

WRITES
An Interesting Letter From
the st Louis Fair
St. Louis, Mo-. May IA. 1904.


we had very pleasant trip out
here. and the weather is good, and
altogether we are having very pleas
ant time. l have been out at the fair
FIVE days since we got here. While
the fair is in a very unfinished condi-
ton, both as to grounds, building and
exhibits, it is the greatest show on
earth. The grounds consists of 1900
acres. and are laid OF in fine shape,
wide streets and avenues, many OF
them finished and covered with bi'
luminous rock, but much of the
ground is unfinished, the streets
rough, and it will take months to put
them in shape.
The buildings are imense and beau
tiful, and as you look at them over
the grounds you can compare them
only to palaces Of kings. The archi-
lecture is great, and the buildings
are immense and lofty, Think OF
some 12 to 20 buildings costing each
from $500, 900 to $1,000,O0 all grouped
together. They are built of what they
call staff work, which is light tim
bers, covered with lath, wire or bur
lap, and plastered over and in all
kinds of columns, pillars. colonades
and beautiful designs and figures. In
side are the booths of exhibition,
many of which are not yet up, and all
are working night and day to get
ready, and do what ought to have
been done full month ago. The for
eign exhibits are more complete and
better prepared than the local ex-
hlbits. 1t will be fully two months
before things are in good shape for
visitors to enjoy themselves.
The state buildings are but few of
them completed and open. oregon's
Fort Clatsop is not finished, but was
open this week for visitors to regis
ter. 1 have seen Senator Wehrung
and Commissioner Harry, and, while
they have been delayed and are be-
hind with their work, 1t is no fault of
their, but the difficulty in getting
work done. When they had men the

saw an editorial statement in the
that Oregon had all her
exhibits in place on the day. The
facts are that none of our exhibits
were ready then, nor are they all up
now. The only criticism to offer to
this worlds fair is that 1t Is too
great a distance from building to
and that nothing Is ready in
time. Lordyl Lordy! Think Of spend
ing $5O,0O0,OO0 on fair for six
show Whew! This figure is
what the people here say has been
