A North Dakota Club Meeting

The friends of Mrs. E. S. Hea-
~ will be pleased to read the
following notice of a club meet
ing at the home of that lady as
given in the Glenburn IN. D.)
Advance, by the club reporter:
Mre. Ed Healy ~charmibgly entertained the
Eciat Club at her home Tuesday evening, it being
the fifth regular meeting. The meeting was
opened by singing "Old Kentucky Home" The

event or quotation from their fav0rite author.
Miss Warner favored the club with 9 vocal rem
dition of .Annie Laurie" In . highly pleasing
manner A piano solo BY Annis Healy was ex-

American Rails Abroad

American rails are in growing
demand. A large shipment to
be used in England has recently
been sent to that country-orig-
inally and still one of the greatest
iron and steel producers in the
world, but which finds it to ad-
vantage to buy here. The new
road from Damascus to Mecca
was laid with American rails.
A consignment of 5000 tons is
being loaded in New York to be
sent to Australia. And $4,000
tons were recently rushed to
Canada to be delivered there be-
fore the new and higher duties
imposed by the Dominion took
effect. The Free-Traders are
finding fault because there is a
duty upon rails imported into
the United States, alleging that
such protection is not necessary.
But they have nothing to say
about Canada increasing it's rates
for the express purpose of favor
ing home products and keeping
out American rails. And how
about the Free Trade contention
that the consumer pays the duty?
If such were the case without
qualification why should Ameri.
can rail makers rush their pro-
ducts through for the purpose of
getting the benefit of low duties?
A properly adjusted Tariff en-.
courages and stimulates domes-
tic industry and checks foreign
competition in the home market,
and the Free Trade tergiversa.
tions tend to emphasize that
fact.-Troy "Times."

Goldsmith often raised money OF
some projected work, then put it aside
and started another. He once drew W
a prospectus for Dictionary of Art.
and Sciences" and obtained promises
of help from his friends, Johnson
Reynolds and Burke, but the booksell
ers were too wary for once, and the
scheme fell through. One of his lasl
proposals was the Survey of Expert
mental Philosophy" which met will
the same fate.
The more practical DR.. Johnson could
himself devise and not undertake. He
once thought of writing life of Oliver
Cromwell but it is as well perhaps
that he changed his mind. His constl-
tutional Incidence was too great to ad-
NIT of his undertaking many great lit

ridge, he was well aware of the fact.

No matter where; wise fear. you know.

would again collect the scattered pa

James Hackett, the well known
sheepman of this city, was one of the
very first sheepherders ever holding
such a job i'm Umatilla county. He
has passed through all the successive
stages of the sheep business, from
that of herder to be one of the princi-
pal sheep owners of one of the great
est sheep counties in the state.
Hackett was born in Sacramento,
Cal, and came to this county with
Jacob Frazer the man who brought
the first band of sheep into Umatilla
county. In 1866 Mr.. Frazer went to
Umpqua valley, Oregon, and purchas-
ell Land of 220O head of sheep, and
drove them across the Cascade noun
tains irto Umatilla county, and locat-
ed the famous Frazer ranch on Birch
creek, now owned by the Gurdarians.
dackett was a boy 10 years old at
that time and herded this band of
sheep on the foothills, around the
present site of Pendleton, and few
yea later formed a partnership with
Mr.. Frazer in the sheep business
Although other sheep had been
driven through the county before
this, the band brought here by Mr.
Frazer in 1866, was the very first
band to locate permanently in the
county. At that time sheep were a
drug on the market in the william
cite valley and this herd was bought
for about $1.10 per head They had
been brought from California into the
Willamette valley, and were a very
poor grade of sheep.
In 1873, when Hackett had be-
come partner of Frazer in the sheep
business, they bought the first meri-
no bucks ever brought into the coun-
ty, from John Mimic, of Salem, who
was a noted breeder of fine stock.
From that first lot of merino bucks
ever brought in to the county, the
better grade of later Eastern Ore
gOn sheep descended.
Jacob Frazer was the first man to
send a 10000 pound shipment of
wool down the Columbia river. this
being the clip from his herd a few
years after bringing the Umpqua
sheep here. It was hauled by freight
teams from his pens near Pendleton
/ to Umatilla Landing and thence tc
/ Portland by boat. There was little
market for wool at that time, and
this shipment of 10000 pounds was
looked upon as a wonderful cargo.

The dinner was in progress. 1t was
dinner given in honor Of some very,

before the guests arrived the master
of the house had been intensely rude
and annoying to his wife, and she had
not forgotten it. There was mo-
ment's pause in the buzz Of converse
ton round the beautiful table, gleam-
ing with lights, blushing with roses.
Then the wife leaned forward andl In
a voice. soft, but loud enough to- at
tract the. attention Of the whole COM
pany, said sweetly, by he way,
James, what was that story you, told
me to lead up to in the middle of the
dinner?"

The universe is under the reign of

noble and great. So far ps we have

that law of nature can be out of bal

perfect. When we advance Il theory to
the point where it would prove that a

How smrJh.. Friend Got Through.

How Smiths Friend Got Through.
They were out in Kansas about 100
miles and wanted to reach Kansas
City. One OF them had a pass for
John Smith and wife. He was John
Smith all right, but his friend could
hardly pass as Mrs. Smith. Although
they were practically without funds,
they boarded the train. Take seat
In the rear OF the car" said Smith to
his friend.
Then Smith went forward and sat
down by a young woman. Soon they
were talking like old friends, and the
subject Of tickets was brought up by
Smith. He asked her to let him see
her ticket. 1t was not Of the variety
that requires the signature of the pur-
chaser.
Smith examined 1t until the con-
ductor came through, and then he
handed up his pass and the ticket.
Pointing to his friend behind, he said,
"The extra ticket is for him" Tie
scheme worked. To this day the
young woman does not know that she
was once Mrs Smith for short ride
through Kansas.-Kansas City Times.

A Queer Food.

A most singular food is the larvae
Of a fy common in certain portions
Of California and known as ephydra.
This insect is found In such vast quap-
titles in Lake Mono, Cal, that 1t is
washed upon the shores in vast wind
rows and can be collected by bushels.
The water Of Mono is very singular.
seemingly very heavy and smooth, like
oil, so much so that 1t resists ordinary
wind and refuses to become rufiled.
When the larvae begin to appear the
Indians gather from far and near and
scrape them up, place the wormIike
creatures On cloths and racks in the
sun and dry them, when they are
beaten up and husked, looking then
like rice. The Indians call the food
koo-chah-bee, and many bushels are
collected at his time. That larvae are
nutritious is shown by the condition
Of the Indians, who soon grow fat on
the rich diet. Many birds are attract
ed by the larvae and gorge themselves
with the singular food.

An 0rHtOr'a Voice.

"Tn the church" says Emerson in his
essay on eloquence, 81 call him only a
good reader who can read sense and
poetry into any hymn in the hymn
book The test is a severe one, for there
are hymns which are wanting both In
sense and poetry. The essaylst doubt
less intended to call attention to that
charm of a good voice which enchains
attention and indicates rare sensi-
bility in the reader. "The voice, like
the face, betrays the nature and dis
position and soon indicates what is the
range Of the speakers mind. Many
people have no ear for music, but every
one has an ear for skillful reading"
John Quincy Adams was said TO- be
80 good reader that no man IN his
time could read the Bible with such
powerful effect. Mr.. Emerson, who
heard the ex-president speak when his
fine voice was broken by age. records
that "the wonders he could achieve
with that cracked and disobedfent or
gan showed what power might have
belonged to it in early manhood"
