Tenn. who presided at the New England Meth
odist Episcopal Conference, in Springfield. Mass,

pleasures Of life In the country. I secured tho
job from neighboring farmer OF driving the
cows home from pasture every night. and at
the end Of the week 1 received a quarter for
this service And, do you know, I never have
felt since such a sense OF financial independence
as I did when 1 used to receive that weekly
Iuarter."

Pendelton East Oregonian.
Two petitions were prepared and

pushed energetically this week. in order
that the monster petitions may be pre-
scented to Superintendent J. F. O'Brien
at the earliest possible date. Petitions
from Weston and Athena are expected
to arrive every day and Agent f.. {.
Smith now holds one from Adams
which will be sent to My. O'Brien as
soon rs those from Athena and Wes-

The Commercial club recognizes
necessity for quick action in this mat
ter. as it has been brought to the at
tention Of the business men of Pen
detOn. that many citizens of Umatila
county living along the branch line
have been attracted to Walla Walla by
the superior train facilities Of that city.
Residents of Athena. Adams. Yves
ton. Milton and Freewater are taking
an active interest in the matter and it
is believed that q sufficient showing
will be made to the officials of the Q.

immediate change in the schedule of
the train.

rives at 2:35 and owing to the lateness

BRYAN MEETS ROCKEFELLER
The Great Conomoner Is Formally In
troduced to Great Millionaire.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-When Mr..
Bryan attended the Fifth avenue Bap-
fist church in New York it fell to the
lot of J. d. Rockefeller to pass the
plate TO him. Mr.. Bryan put Il dollar
| bill on i without looking up. Those
sitting nearest to the two men watched
I their movements intently.
an was introduced to Mr.. Rockefeller
in the lobby Of the church. AS they
approached to shake hands they eyed
each other from head to foot. The mu-
tual scrutiny was SO keen and so SIG
nificant as to attract attention.
Every detail of costume and feature
was studied with utmost attention.
Both nodded slightly. as though an
opinion held formerly had been con-
firmed by the scrutiny. They exchang-
ed commonplace greetings. but contin-
ued to study each others faces. The
powerful features. eagle gaze. and
burly physique of the radical leader
cOntrasted strikingly with the pallor
and dyspeptic frailty of the richest
man in the world.
When they parted each compressed
his lips and smiled in an amused sort
of way.
