BIRD LEGEND OF INDIANS.
Red Men Believe the Great Spirit
Made Winged Creatures of
Falling Leaves.

An Indian story that has been handed
down and is still believed by many In
dian tribes is about the transformation
of leaves into birds Long years ago
when the world was young, the Great
Spirit went about the earth making IT
beautiful. Whenever His feet touched
the ground lovely trees and flowers
sprang up. All summer the trees wore
their short green dresses. The leaves
we're very happy and they sang theiT
sweet songs to the breeze as 1t passeG
them
One day the wind told them the time
would soon come when they would have
to fall from the trees and die. This
made the leaves feel very bad. but they
tried to be bright and do the best they
could, so as not to make the mother
trees unhappy. But at last the time
came, and they let go the twigs and
branches and fluttered to the ground.
They lay perfectly quiet, not able to
move exceptas the wind would lift them
The Great Spirit saw them and
thought they were so lovely that He did
not want to see them die, but live, and
be beautiful forever so he gave to each
bright leaf pair of wings and power to
fly. Then he called them His birds +"
From the red and brown leaves OF the
oak came the robins, and yellow birds
from the yellow willow leaves, and from
bright maple leaves he made the red
birds. the brown leaves became wrens
sparrows and other brown birds. This
is why the birds love the trees and al
ways so to them to build their nests and
look for food and shade.

Terrible Blow to Nurse.

A medical journal has a story to the
effect that a woman who was serious
ly i'll awoke one night to find the
nurse sitting at the foot of her bed
smoking cigarette and reading a
novel. Greatly startled, the patient
raised herself up in her bed and cried
out: What in the world are you do
ing. nurse?" To which the nurse,
iropping cigarette and novel in amaze
ment. replied: Good gracious!
thought you. were dead!"-Liverpool

A Harvard alumnus of some distinc-

gave a definition of optimism that
hasn't heretofore been published, but
which is good enough for print. He
declared that he was an optimist, but
not one of that extreme type who, if

LARGE M0HAIR CROP
MARKET STRONG WITH SLIGHT
UPWARD TENDANCY.
This Years Clip in Oregon Will Ag-
gregate Nearly 10000 Pounds
Harvest Is Over.

Salem, Ore, March 29.--The great
mohair harvest Of the state is over and
is estimated that the clip this year will
aggregate from 350, 900 to 375, 900 pounds
which is slight increase over the crop
Of last year. The market. too, for this
high grade and much demanded pro-
duct has opened up well and 30 cents
pound is being paid at the present time,
which is considered high average
price.
This is another of the many products
in which the state of Oregon excels, the
Oregon mohair being classed as the
very best on the market and it COM
mands the highest prices. 1t is chiefly
a Willamette valley product as it is
raised most extensively, almost exclus-
ively, in Polk, Yamhill, Marion, Wash
ington, Benton, Linn, Lane and Doug
las counties. There are few small and
scattered herds Of goats in Eastern Ore
gon, but the attention of the stockmen
there is devoted principally to raising
sheep and cattle rather than goats.
This is an industry which does not
increase very rapidly, not SO much as in
the case of sheep because the goat is not
as hardy an animal, especially when
young, as the kids require great care
and attention in raising until they ar
rive at a certain age, when they are
more hardy than sheep. The goat in
dustry is perhaps one of the least ex.
pensive OF any in the state, therefore
making the profits all the greater. The
greater portion of the expense in raising
goats is in the taking care Of the kids
as they are very delicate when extreme
ly young. About rs per cent Of the kidl
born are raised to maturity.
The market is strong and with 9
slight upward tendancy. The usua
annual pool Of the mohair has beer
formed by the Polk and Yamhill county
Mohair Growers association, the aggre
gate holdings of these two pools amount
ing to about $4,000 pounds which il
about the same as that of last year
This pool will be placed on the marke
at Dallas on April |. They are Away
successful as the growers usually re
ceive from 2 to cents above the marke
price.

Rev. Clarence o. Kimball. former
ly pastor Of the Methodist church Of
this city, but now Of Trinidad, is
conducting q religious column in the
SUNDAY Morning Advertiser. giving
the people a pure and religious
thought for the day. His initial
sermon, every sentence Of which
contains thought or . suggestion
anent practical religion. is as follows:
Healthy religion walks on two
legs philanthrophy and moral clean
ne0. A man may be kind to the
widow and the orphan. and at the
same time be q moral leper. Gam
blers have superstition that to re-
fuse any call Of charity is to turn
their luck. Thrifty men may pur-
sue business methods which crush
out the lives Of their employees and
then contribute literally to support
their widows and orphans. Boss
Tweed provided more coal for DESC
late hearthstones and more morsels
for hungry stomachs than any other
man in New York in his day, and
yet at the same time he was . thief
and robber. On the other hand q
man may be personally upright but
forget the needy. He may be
unspotted from the world. but At
the same time have no sympathy for
nor interest in the spotted world.
He may be good. but good for
nothing. He is 50 busy with his
own absolutions that he cannot stoOp
to wash another's feet. He is 80
occupied with being good that he
he's no time to do good. In either
case he il MANNED. His religion Is
one. .lsgged. Let the charitable man
wash his spots. let the the unspotted
visit the widow and the orphan in
their affection.
