The old settlers oil oregon.

The old settlers went from one to
another, all talking at once, shaking
hands and laughing like a lot of
schoolboys. Many of them had been
on isolated ranches all these years,
and during this trip to the fair had
received constant ovation from COM
rades and fellow pioneers who had
settled in cities. A finer looking group
of old men L never saw. Some were
well up toward ninety and all had
passed the SEVENTEEN milestone. With
few exceptions their teeth were sound,
their walk was brisk and steady, and
they bore the general appearance,
physically, of the average easterner of
sixty. We went on to join the women
folks" who had gone on ahead. We
found them equally alive to the pleas
ures of doing the fair and renewing
old acquaintances. One bright-eyed
little woman, wearing a badge that
proclaimed her at least eighty years
old, was gazing lovingly at an old
plains wagon which bore the legend,

A BUGBEAR.

Ruling politicians have found the ne
gro bugbear a convenient means of
keeping the public excited and preserv-
ing party regularity. More than that,
it has been used to secure the adoption
of laws under which the right to vote
depends practically on the good will of
election judges chosen by the machines.
In such states as Mississippi, Louisiana
and South Carolina these laws actually
have had the effect of disfranchising a
considerable part of the white popula-
ton as we'll as the negroes. The dis
reimbursement movement is aimed not
merely at race, but at the democratic
principle in general.-Buffalo Express

There are models for photographers
as there are for painters, but not all
are selected for their beauty.
THE pictures that the photograph
ers are all struggling to take now"
one of them explained the other day,
"are those which afford great oppor-
tunitieS for effects in light and shadow,
which used to be impossible in the
old-fashioned photograph. There are
very few subjects that come to the
studios who afford any opportunity
for effects of this kind.
$50 it is necessary to hire a model
when a photographer wants to make
a really striking picture for exhibition.
He picks out some man with flowing
hair and if possible a white beard, as
that gives him splendid field to work
on. If he is able to get a black-eyed
man with black eyebrows and a white
beard he is certain of getting a very
striking picture.
"Of course with the model as a sub
ject he can do with it what he wants.
He can touch up the lights in relief
and do anything that makes his work
seem more striking. No other sitter
who had paid for his pictures would
submit to anything of the kind. The
model can't help herself

earn some money.-New York Sun.
