Signs of Cold Feet.

That the coming winter is to be
the hardest one for the last twenty
years there are an abundance of
signs to show. says our friend, the
weather prophet, who is infallible
on the subject. Among the sure
signs:
The corn husks are foot and a
half thick and all of the stalks lean
to the west
The geese, ducks and chickens
are growing a coat of fur under
their feathers and are rubbing borax
on their feet to harden them up.
All the one-eyed fowls are leaving
the country one month earlier than
usual. and the bob-tail squirrels are
laying in sweet potatoes, as we'll as
nuts. for winter provisions.
The farmer who has taken the
trouble to investigate has found
that all the toadstools on the old
logs have wrinkles on them. The
last time this happened we had
winter that froze the handles off
the pillow.
Rabbits are sitting around with a
bumped up look to them, and field
mice have wrinkles in their tails
If this means anything, it means 40
degrees below zero from November
through to May.

AS the result of Offering prize for
the best original definition of "a
Friend SEVERAL years ago, London
Titbits came into possession of thou
sands from all parts of the world.
From these the following were Sc
lected as the most striking. The first

The first person who comes in

One who combines for you alike
the pleasur and bnefits of society
and solitude.
A jewel whose luster the strong
acids of poverty and misfortune can
not dim.
One who multiplies joys, divides
griefs and whose honesty is inviol-
able.
One who loves the truth and you,
and will tell the truth in spite of you.
The triple alliance of the three
great powers, love, sympathy and
help.
A watch which beats true for all
time and never runs down.
A permanent fortification when
ones affairs are in a state of siege.
One who to himself is true. and,
therefore, must be so to you.
A balancing pole for him who
walks across the tight rope of life.
The link in life's long chain that
bears the greatest strain.
A harbor of refuge from the
stormy waves of adversely.
One who considers my need before
my deservings.
The jewel that shines brightest in
the darkness.
A stimulant to the nobler side of
our nature.
A volume of sympathy bound in
cloth.
A diamond in the ring of acquaint-
ance.
A star of hope in the cloud Of ad-
yersity.

DIVORCE.

When a woman in Lucretia Bor-
gia's set fancied a new husband she
fed the old one pounded glass. When
Bluebeard desired a nice, new wife
he stropped his favorite scimiter and
held a family assassination. When
Brigham Young favored another fl
ancee he was forced into all the
trouble of building another house.
Nowadays, in this age of labor-sav-
ing devices. the inventive American
has discovered a way of saving HIM
self all this trouble.
He simply goes into court and
uses the law for wishbone.
Judge, want to get rid of
Mary" says he-in substance. "She
was a good girl in her day, but she's
right at darning soX and saving the
mortgage litter. But now I've
broken into society, she amt no
use
whats the charger asks the
judge.
"Incompatibility Of temperament, !"
answers the man. "She quarrels be-
cause | want her to wear low necked
gowns and high-heeled shoes like
Dottie Powderag. the swell SOU
brette. And one night when came
home late after a business engage
ment she dropped cold dill pickle
down my neck"
Horrors" says the judge. And
he signs a decree.
Now. a decree is a permit 10 get 4
license to marry somebody else. And
a license is officially recognized by
the police.
All of which goes to show that, al
though polygamy is frowned upon.
and uxorcide is distinctly out of
fashion progressive monogamy is
strictly au tait-St. Paul News.

Don't Swear, Young Man.

Dear Sonny-Don't swear.
Swearing is the most senseless and
coarse and extravagant habit a boy
can get into.
Your mother will tell you profan-
ity is wrong. But you will not mind
your mother, perhaps.
Then let us talk it over in another
way.
The habit of swearing is without
sense because it is useless. If you
want to say things strongly don't
swear. The more oaths you use the
weaker your statement will be.
The habit of swearing is coarse as
proven by the fact that oaths are not
used in the presence of the best COM
pany. Men and boys do not swear
when good women are about.
The habit of swearing is extrava-
CANT because 1t is not necessary for
your comfort 1t does not minister
to single natural pleasure. On the
contrary, it develops bad temper
and other things.
But here is the strongest argu-
ment against profane speech:
The use of oaths Is prima facie
evidence that the man or boy who
uses them is ignorant.

Despite the inclement weather and
the gloom cast over the community
by the recent disastrous flood, a mer-
~ crowd of good size thronged the
Catholic fair on Yakima avenue We'd
nesday evening. In fact the fourth
night of this red letter event was in
no wise inferior in interest to those
which have preceded it. All day
long the fair was visited by large
numbers, more than 125 people hay-
ing been fed by those in charge.
Thursday 100 We're served with din
ner alone. The good Sisters and
those directing the fair have excel
lent reason TO feel a modest pride
in their efforts, for financially and
socially they have been successful.
The great event of the evening
was of course the doll contest in
which there were but two contest
ants, Lille Shaeffer and Helen
Snyder. The much sought doll, Il
handsomely dressed French creation
of latest design, proved a magnetic
banner from the start, under which
nearly everybody Interested in the
fair sought enrolment. At 10
o'clock promptly Frank Donovan,
manager of this event, from his

venient chair, closed the polls ex-
cept for five minutes of what he
termed silent ballotting' At that
time the vote stood: Lille Shaeffer
81, Helen Snyder So. As matter
of fact, however, the term silent
ballot" was scarcely fitting for the
rattle and jingle of coin passing into
the boxes sounded very much like
the emptying of money sacks Nor
was the crowd disappointed in this
presumption, for when the cash was
counted it was found that $146.35

result of the balloting showed a to-
tai of 17091a votes for Helen Sny-

giving the prize to the former. AT
10 cents a vote this contest netted
the church $295.15.

FLOODS PAST AND PRESENT

There have been many greater
floods in the history Of Washing
ton, but the present Is undoubted-
" the most destructive Earlier
floods did less damage by reason Of
the lesser population OF the over
flowed valleys tn recent wears
vast tracts OF these lowlands have
been cleared of the prlmeval for
est and many towns and small cit
les have grown up in regions
were wilderness, says the Spokas-
man Review
Considering the immensely Of the
food and the vast area of country
under water. the oss of life has
been gratifyingly small.
What proportion OF the present
food and damage is the result of
the clearing away of the forests Is
problematical Undoubtedly the
cutting away of the forests and
the clearing of thousands of val
ley and hillside farms have IA
cilitated the rapid ruch of in
Vulnerable rain made rivulets in
to the valleys.
1t IS, however, a fact, that the
greatest flood in the history of the
western sections of Washington
and Oregon occurred in pioneer
days, nearly half a century ago, be-
fore the mountains and valleys had
been denuded of their forests. For
several weeks a great part of the
Willamette valley for $50 miles
south of the Columbia was a vas,
inland SEA.
Unprecedented rains late in No
vember caused a rapid rising of
rivers from southern California to
northern Washington. Towns were
swept away, farmhouses demolished.
bridges destroyed and many lives
sacrificed A winter of unusual Sc
verify followed. and for months the
settlements were cut off from all
outside communication. The melt
ing of heavy SHOWS the following
spring brought on another disas-
trous flood in western Washing
ton and Oregon and the horrors
and losses Of the preceding fall
were repeated.

Change in Location.

AS result of an agreement made
in Portland Saturday. the manage
ment of the Senator. the Knights of
Pythias paper for Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho, has been transferred
from Frank S. Grant of Portland to
E. b. Aldrich of Pendleton. The pa
per, which is a monthly, will be pub
lished in the future from the office
of the East Oregonian, and entered
at the Pendleton postoffice.
The Senator is the official paper
of the grand lodges of the three
northwestern states, and it has been
in existence for ten years. With
the change Of management the size
OF the Senator will be enlarged and
strong effort made to extend its
usefulness so that 1t may be of even
more benefit to the order than in the
past.-East Oregonian.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1906-11-21

1t stands to reason, though. that
with the clearing away of timber
western Washington and western
Oregon will be more and more sub
jeot to sudden and disastrous
floods. The country is largely
mountainous, the rainfall is heavy,
the valleys are comparatively mar
row and the banks of mountain fed
streams lie but few feet above
the low stages of water. 1t seems
inevitable that in the country west
of the Cascade mountains the
flood problem will be one of increas-
ing gravity
