RUN AWAY FROM SCHOOL.

Three Umatilla Indian Girls lire OF
the Routine of Study and Are Now
In Hiding.
Three Umatilla Indian girls who
have been attending the Umatilla
agency school, have run away and are
now in hiding somewhere on the res
ervation, but will be sought out and
brought back by the Indian police
under direction of Major McKoin, In
dian agent.
The names of the three runaways
are Cecilia Coyote, aged 21; Cecilia
Allen, IS, and Cecilia Allen, aged 49,.
They are supposed to be secreted at
the tepee of friends and an effort
will be made to locate them today.
Indians who know them say they
were tired of school and because the
agency school will not be closed until
July they decided to take a vacation
now. The girls are all bright schol-
ars, 1t is said, but are tired of the
long school term.

Almanac,

From the London Chronicle.
The appearance OF new almanacs which
with Christmas numbers scarcely walt for
the end of the summer holidays to come
out, sets one wondering as to the origin of
this curious word. Some have derived 1t
from the Greek "menaios," concerning the
months, or ''mene," the moon; others from
the Arabic AL and "manah," to count.
The Saxons. we read used to engraye
upon certaine squared stiekes the courses Of
the incomes OF the whole year, and such
carved stfcke they called an al-mon- heed ~
Ihese runic almanacs are still to be found
sometimes the pilgrims had them at the
END or their staf1s. or they were carved on
the sword scabbards of warriors In some
parts or the country it was called a clogg
and was furnished with ring to hang 1t
up In the cottages. In all ages the desire
to peer Into the future, If only for a year
ahead. has been existent.
The first known alma nae in print was that
Of John Miller who lived at Nuremberg in
the fifteenth century. and not only gave the
character of the twelve months in advance
but foretold the eclipses of the moon for the
next thirty years. His almanac sold for 10
crowns of gold-a sum to make Old Moore
jealous. And Old Moore was Jealous He
went at once to a rival, In the hope of
finding out the source of his prophecies
The rival saw through him. This Is my
system" he pleasantly observed II take
your almanac, and for every day that you
predict one thing predict the opposite. and
am as often right as you areP' This did
not equal the sincerity OF the astroIoger
Cardan, who, having predicted his own
death. STAYED himself TO death In order to
verify the prophecy.

Earning Statements.

A large number of earning statements
were submitted, there were some dividend
announcements. and aside from these mat
ters, there was virtually nothing to be eiic-
tied in explanation of even the more str.k-
ing movements in prices which marked the
days dealings.
The Smelling shares and National Lead
were quoted at new high records, with
nothing that was definite to be cited In
connection with their course. The United
States Steel stocks were actively dealt In,
but were relatively sluggish, and the same
description applied to the dealings i'll the
Railway Equipment shares.
Pacific Mail at one time broke quite
sharply circumstance which the street
was disposed to associate with the prica
of Amalgamated Copper. Consolidated Gas
on expectations that the decision of the
verse to the political interests who con-
ton.
Previous to the opening of business the
usual amount of attention was accorded to
the course of prices the London stock
exchange, and a generally firm tone was
reported from that market, with American
stocks showing exceptional strength. That
circumstance and the subsequent purchases
conducted here for foreign account carried
the ordinary influence upon speculative sem
timent even though the volume of business
for foreign account was quite obscured by
the magnitude of the local dealings. With
a few exceptions. the whole stock list
showed at one time another during the
day striking advances.

From the New York Sun.
Our usually accurate friend, the Rich
mond Times Dispatch, thus amends the
n ost Immediately familiar of familiar quo
tations:
'Rambunctious friend up the river"
Then the amender goes on to comment in
nocently and learnedly upon ''rambunc-
tious,' which has no genealogical connec-
ton with the horned male of the sheep
Species" Further, d" 'rambunctious' me ms
simply 'rambustious' and indicates a ran
tarkercus disposition and cantankerous ma
ture."
Now another friend. the Dictionary of
Slang gives us much easy knowledge I'M
der the head "ramgumption, rambump-
tfCn:"
"a class of coiloquialisms compounded with
intensive prefix: a Ram dmitatively varied by
compare ramp as in 'rampageoas' Thus, ram am
bunctious' or rnmbustious. noisy. high and mighty;
'rambuuiptious, conceited, selfiassertiye."
In fact for American use a rambunctious
person can hardly be distinguished from
rambumptiouS person. Both are loud. Both
raise ructions OF rambuctions. A tremen-
dous pother, chatter and row may be ex-
pected of them. They may be thrasonical.
They are apt to yociferate about trifies. to
dispute walters bill as IL 1t were deai h
sentence or a Roman emperors edict. But
Is conceit an inevitable part of rambunc-
Nor is self-assert.veness an invariable con-
cemitant. A rambunctious one may ram
DustIcate because he likes Ii, because he Is
big and healthy, because he Is small of
stature but enormous Of lung, for many
reasons. We deny also that rambunctious-
ness indicates a ADVANTAGEOUS disposition
and cantankerous nature" This brings US
to the genuine form of the familiar quota
ton so Ill used in Richmond:
''our rantankerms friend up the river"
The rantankerous one Is troublesome,
mean. bilious. malicious. eager to make
trouble for the sake of trouble. To be
sure. as the leading case of Thersites
shows. a man may be rantankerous and
rambunctious at the same time, but this is
a combination OF qualities not often to be
expected or the stage. and even there the
stern father or eccentric uncle Is really
rcbustfous and rambunctious and only In
semblance rantankerous. The rambunc-
tious temperament Is sufficiently common.
The rantankerous disposition Is compare
lively rare. or human life wouldn't be grow
ing longer.

THE ROADS TO SUCCESS.
Three Men Who Took Their Customers
Away From Their Employers.

From the New York Sun.
There are many roads to success" said
the lean and hungry Cassus. who was
holding up one end of the mahogany bar.
The longer / live the less / believe in a
simon pure gilt-edge rise.
you look at this man and that. saying
how beautifully he has succeeded by mis-
own pure efforts. It's a miracle and an
admiration until you find out all the cir
cumstances. You don't need legislative
inquiry to establish the fact that success
Is mostly a lovely damsel down to the
waist, but she terminates In scaly fish
tail compound of rebates. ingratitude and
ohjcane.
Give an instance? A hundred IL you
like, but 1 am thinking just now of three
s,rnilar cases, where employees have be-
come employers.
Not long ago there was an oculist work
Ing for a Maiden lane firm; he exam
fned eyes and fitted glasses al IA medium
stipend with the pospects of being a hired
man all his life. He was enamored OF
the fishtail lady. He determined to WOO
and win her at any cost.
His device was merely to copy his firms
prescriptions in private notebook. At
the end of three years he had a thousand
flames and addresses. Then he quit. hired
Il little office uptown and wrote to the
thousand customers that DIR. Jones hid
for them at the old rates.
The customers were agreeable. The Old
hrm has lost most OF Its business and DR..
Jones rides in orty-horsepower car.
The second case refers to a law student,
who worked his way up In the same firm
from office boy to admitted attorney. He
owed everything to his employers.
Soon after being admitted to the bar
he left the shop and put up his own shfngle
He Immediately began to fish for the eli
ents of the old firm whom he had known
for years.
For the sake of appearances he does
this on the quiet, and for the sake of SUI
perior inducements he cuts rates In way
that would give his old employers heart
disease. These rising young men have no
sympathy with the union schedule.
Then there is the eminent and wealthy
wholesale chemist who was office boy
fifteen years ago. They thought he was
fool because he didn't empty the waste
tise writing by copying the names on old
envelopes.
But. in fact, he was developing a gold
mine from that waste paper basket. He
got hundreds of choice addresses He
set UP for himself in small way and In
1uced the old customers to trade with him.
Today he is happily welded to success
and has large family of little successes.
Now. you might say that all these cases
merely Indicate the first step: il took merit
to go l might answer that the men
the trick at every part OF the stairway.
[ wish" concluded the lean and hungry
Cassius. ordering another drink, that GER
tain of my own past approaches to the fish,
tail damSel had been more refined and IN
keeping with dignity"
