One or two nodded and everybody smiled.
The little fellow put his hands and Shout
ders against the edge of the seat and
pushed with all his might. at the same
time saying, GO long, sir!''
To his great satisfaction ana the amuse-
ment of the passengers the car did start UP
just then, and for a time ran merrily along.

the young champion again undertook the
task of getting the car started. He tugged
vigorously and shouted earnestly, Go

The Forget-Me-Not.

1t was in the golden morning of the early
world when an angel sat weaping outside
the gates of paradise He had fallen from
his high rank because he loved a daughter
of the earth. He was not allowed to re-
enter paradise until this maid whom he
loved had planted the forget-me-not in
every corner of the world.
He came down to assist her, and hand in
hand they wandered over the land, planting
everywhere the dainty forget-me-not.
When their task was ended they were both
allowed to enter paradise.
For the beautiful girl, without tasting
the bitterness of death. became immortal

An Experiment

1t is very wonderful what effects are pro-
duced by different kinds of light. Here is
an experiment to try with the help of "a
grown-up." Put in a soup plate a few
tablespoonfuls OF salt: then pour enough al
cohol over the salt to thoroughly saturate
it. Put the dish in the middle sof table in
a perfectly dark room. and ask your guests
to sit around 1t. Light the mixture and see
how peculiar each person will look.

Decisions Received I'm Two Land Con-

test Cases.
Decisions have been received here
in three contest cases that were tried
in Commissioner Parkes court some
time ago, and in which there has been
been considerable interest manifested.
In all three instances the decisions
we're favorable to the contestants, and
it was held that the contestees had
not complied with the rules requiring
continuous residence upon their
claims.
The cases at issue, and in which the
decisions have been received from the
land office at La Grande, are as fol-
lows:
involving II. f. No. $3.50 for the
northeast quarter of section H. town
ship 4, north of range 81. In this
case the land officials held that the

The other cases were those brought
by G. E. Mortamer and G. w. Nor

Fannie Duncan, respectively, These
suits involved the northwest quarter
of section 35 and the northeast quar-
tel of the same section, both being in
township 4, north of range 30, f. w.

The opinion of the register and re-
ceiver was that it had been shown the
contestees had not lived upon their
claims according to the requirements
of the law. and consequently their en-
Irles were recommended for cancella-
ton.
