ONE ON EDWARD ATKINSON.
Tart Reply to HIs Cordial Greeting
 of Old Friend.

< a
 The late Edward Atkinson used tc tell the following story at his own ex pense: In his boyhood he was one oi a number of boys who used to play ball on the Boston common, which was then against the law. At regular intervals old Erastus Clapp. the con stable, would bear down upon the tres passers and put them to flight. The boys used to have great fun with this rather choleric old man-Disastrous Clapp the boys dubbed him.
 One day after MT. Atkinson had grown up into prosperous and re. spected business man, while passing along Boston street in company with friend, he recognized in a bent and wizened old man the likeness of his old acquaintance, Constable Clapp. MT. Atkinson immediately addressed the old fellow.
 Don't you remember me. MT. Clnpp!" he asked.
 The old man leaned on his stick and surveyed MT. Atkinson coldly. Nav" he finally answered, and start ed to hobble on.
 Why, I'm Eddie Atkinson, whom you used to chase off the common years ago."
 Clapp glared at him suspiciously, and finally put an end to the inter. view, much to the amusement of l-r. Atkinson's friend, by saying sharply: Well. sir, no honest boy ever had cause to run from me-"

NOT IN NEED OF COMMODITY.
Young HouseWife's Reply Probabl,
 Caused Some Astonishment.

A story is told of a young wife who knew little of housekeeping. She was, in consequence of that inexperience, disposed to stand bit in awe of the butcher, the baker and the candle stick maker, for she felt sure they must be aware of the extent of her ignorance in household matters. She ordered only such things as she was absolutely. sure of, and she made her interviews with the tradesmenf as brief as possible.
 One morning there came to her house collector of ashes. "Ash-ees! ash-ees!" she heard him calling in stentorian tones. As the cry was re. peated again and again she became more and more perplexed as to what "ash-ees" meant. Finally, she went to the gate in the rear and opened it. "Ash-ees?" came in gutteral question from the man.
 The young wife hesitated for mo ment; then, drawing herself up to dignified attitude, she replied coldly: No, don't think care for any to- day."-Harper's Weekly.

WIT NOT A VALUABLE ASSET.
At Least it Seldom Wins Popularit,
 for lts Preseason.

Do not long for wit" said a society woman whose opinions are worth lis tening to. "A witty tongue Is often very far from being prize to its possessor.
 If you knew how much most witty men and women are hated you would never envy their gift. Those who pro fess to admire them are generally peo pie who have somehow escaped the lash of their criticism. When one oi these is at last made target for the barbed arrow of wit, admiration rap idly changes to dislike.
 "One of the most brilliant takers ever meta man full or caustic hu mor-has brought on himself double Nemesis. Those who have suffered from his shafts detest him, while oth. CTS. who find themselves dazzled and wearied by his constant scintillations are almost unanimous in regarding him as bore!"

 wire. An application has been made
 to the board of pardons and a hear
 ing on it will be held next Monday in

 ris Dobkin, fractured his right arm i few days ago by fall.
 The town will soon have an isola- tion hospital For some time negotia- tions have been carried on whereby
 the John Crofut property is to pass
 into the borough's hands. The prop erty recently came into Mir Culver's l possession by real estate deal in volving several pieces of property. A few days ago MT Culver set his price at $1,500, since which time the barn has burnt down. It is understood that $15O was paid for the insurance and so the price cannot be far from $1,350. Besides a good house, that may need some repairs, some twelve acres of land go with the property, and this will make the property in a measure self-supporting. After it becomes borough property, of course, there will be no taxes.

A Song sparrow's Gratitude.

Tt is rare occurrence for animals in a wild state to select man for a companion and friend. yet well au- thenticated instances when this has been done are matter of record" says the Courier-Journal. "The fol. lowing incident is vouched for by a young woman who is a close and ac- curate observer: Last week my brother, a lad of 12. killed a snake which was just in the act of robbing song sparrow's nest. Ever since then the male sparrow has shown his gratitude to George in a truly wonder full manner. When he goes into the garden the sparrow will fly to him, sometimes alighting on his head, at other times on his shoulder, all the while pouring out tumultuous song of praise and gratitude. It will ac- company him about the garden, never leaving him until he reaches the gar. den gate. George. as you know, is quiet boy, who loves animals, and this may account in a degree for the sparrow's extraordinary actions"

The bachelor is useful person in this world. A woman who has req soned the whole thing out concludes that he contributes indirectly to the happiness of her sex. Her view of 1t is this: T don't know why one's husbands bachelor chums should, as a rule, be so deadly dull. but they usually are. and. as a matter of fact. 1t was probably their dullness which originally drove him into matrimony. only he has not the sense to see it."

I happened last evening to be talk. ing politics with a physicians good physician and one trust says writer in the Boston Transcript. Presently he said: Did you ever hear of c. P. I.?"
 "WEo's he?" I asked.
 "Oh." exclaimed the doctor, "G. P. I. isn't a politician; it's disease-gen. eral paralysis of the insane"
 Then he explained that the malady begins with delusions of grandeur. that the patient thinks himself great, that he conceives enormous ambitions, un. dertakes colossal enterprises. displays frantic energy. Only, he accomplishes nothing.

The REASON WHY
Bourne Should Not
Be Elected U.
S. Senator

The Ms~l Age has said before and IL
now says. again that it does, not be-
l'eVe that the next Legislature will
elect J.; Rouraes, Jr., to the United
States senate. It has. been said that
our opposition to Mr. Bourne is in
aspired by prejudice. and that we can
give no good reason for opposing him
since Re was regularly nsnaed BY the
republican voters for the office.
We opposed Mr.. Bourne during the
primaries for the reason that we knew
him to be unfit Ter the high office to
which he aspired.
First-Thst he is not a loyal and
consistent republican.
seeond-That he ls traitor and
lpoIlteaI bIack-Ieg,
Third-That he could not be depend
ed upon to support Roosevelt.
lfhe had been loyal and consistent
Republican he would not have deserted
his party IN the hour Of its dire dis
tress, when the blight Of Bryanisrf and
lpopuIism overshadowed the country in
1905. But as a true and loyal repub-
lican would have put self aside and
Tenocfe0 Whatever service he could
for his party and his republican
friends. If 5ourne's will had prevailed
and Bryan had been elected who can
say that there would have been TODAY
a strong, invincibIe republican party
in oregon to honor him for his perfidy.
il The legislative session Of 1895 was
the most spectacular in the .InrS .I.--rS or
oregon and the King Pin of that ses-
sion was J. Bourne Jr., whose mai
odorous record is even yet stencil in
the nostriIs Of decent people. With a
goodly supply Of money and other cor
rupting influences the trick of thwart.
ing the will Of the people and debauch-
ing the honor Of the citizenry was the
special mission of this political monte
bank, who, now, ten short years after
ward, has the brazen affrontery to seek
this high and honorable position az
the hands of the party, whose murder
he eonspired to bring about.
In the light of the past record Of
Mr.. Bourne, who is so unsuspectino as
to trust him in the future7 Does any.
) one who knows him, save his hired
henchmen, think for a minute that he
} can be depended upon to stand up for
, republican principles and policies In
the United States senate, and to up
hold the hands of lifelong, true and
Q tried republican leaders in that body,
and to "stand pat" with the party's
matchIess leader, NOSE profound
stateman, patriot and humanitarian
; since the days of LincoIn-Theodora
Roosevelt.

Killed at the Egyptian.

Word comes to us, although We could
not get any of the particulars, that an
accident occurred at the Egyptian mine
in keystone on the llth of this month
in which Mr. Robert Atchison was kill
ed and two others were more or less in
iured AS near as our reporter could
learn there were three men descending
the shaft on the bucket when the cable
broke, precipitating them all to the bot
tom Of the shaft The names Of the
other two men on the bucket at the time
were Joe Rage and Mr.. Ostler the ex-
tent of whose injuries we could not
learn.
The Rapid City Journal of Thursday
gives the following particulars Of the
accident: The men were being let down
the shaft in a bucket when the chain
broke and they were dashed to the
ground, Mr.. Atcheson being killed by
having his skull smashed. Richard
Maiwald was one of the men who was
| hurt, but advices from Keystone say that
his injuries are not serious. The two
other men who were in the bucket were
strangers and foreigners and were not
much hurt.
Mr.. Atcheson is known to great
many people in this section. He was
married and leaves two children. The
accident is deeply regretted, but the
Journal does not know whether care
lessness had anything to do with it or
NOT
