An Experiment in Driving.

A fair-haired youth who re-
sides IN Southern Benton, was
seen riding one of his carriage
horses home Sunday evening and
leading the other, with no buggy
in sight, and when accosted bv a
friend he smiled feebly but Gfer-
ed no explanation. The young
rnan drives a swell rig, with a
pair of prancing bays, and his
forlorn appearance Sunday even
ing created much speculation for
a time among his friends.
The matter, however, became
clear as Corvallis mountain
water when early Monday morn
ing an elderly gentleman was in
this city, telling how, on the
previous evening, his daughters
fair haired admirer had let his
team run away and smash up
said elderly gentleman's barn
yard gate.
The gentleman declared his
intention of buying a keg of
nails at a local hardware and
charging them up to the reckless
youth with the pink-and-white
complexion; but when it was
brought to the old gentleman's
mind that the lad had mashed
up his own buggy as we'll as the
gate, the irate father decided to
matter.
lust how the runaway occurred
has not been explained, but it is
suspected that the yonng man
was. trying the experiment of
driving with his teeth.

A PIONEERS PASSING.
Burial of Mrs. Drury Hodges
Crossed the Plains.

After lingering illness, Mrs
Drurv Hodges died at the fam.
| lily home at Wells, in northern
Benton, August 4th, aged II
years and one day.
The funeral occurred from the
residences at p. m, Nor dav,
and was one of the largest helo

A FEW sUGe EsTIoNs.
Are You Guilty as Charged?
Things that Count.

As has been said a Thousand
times, the world is made up O.
little tn ings and it is the little
things'that count, yet there are
dozens of people who ignore the
fact in ways that are decidedly
annoying to their fellows.
For instance, the person who
helps himself to peach, plum,
an apple, a handful of, dried fruit
or other edible every time he
happens in a grocery store, for
gets that stealing little thing is
just as bad principle as steal
ing mans purse, and that it
counts up in expense to the gro
Ger when the habit is practiced
by dozens of people in the course
of week. Some individuals
even carry their nerve SO far as
to step behind the counter and
take candy or nuts from the show
case or even open the peanut
roaster in confectionery store
and proceed to grab handful Of
nuts, all OF which, in common
reason, must be aggravating in
the extreme to proprietors of the
establishments, who are in no
position to object to the practice
for fear of offending customers.
These same people would not
think of going into a dry
goods store and walking off with
necktie, pair of shoes or a
shirt waist, yet where is the diff
ference in principle? Both acts
are petty thievery, one fully as
detestable as the other.
Another of the 'little things
is the trespassing on the rights.
of others and making oneself a
bore to a whole neighborhood.
When a hair-brained youth, with
a surplus of enthusiasm but total
lack of ability sits up late at
night blowing ear splitting
blasts on a cheap horn, keeping
nervous people in a state border
ing on frenzy and starting COM
munity howl among restless bab-
les and noisome dogs, it is.time
that the law took a hand to abate
the nuisance. ~e
Fortunately, Corvallis is free
from the latter during the sum-
mer months, but with the return
of the college students such dis
turbances are frequent in all parts
OF town.
These, and many other appar-
emily trifling matters might be
prohtably poudered by many
careless, thought]ess person.
1t may be added that these
suggestions originated in the
mind of the writer, and are not
set forth at the solicitation of any
one else.

The Errors in Type.

Strange ''mlx-ups' occur in
the printing Office sometimes, the
following list being not exagger.
ated in the least, as such errors
are frequently made:
Some of these tricks of type
have immortalized themselve s, as
for instance, that of the item
stating that a locomotive had
"cut a cow into calves,'' and
another informing the public that
the army was Sin want of con-
secrated beef and desecrated vege-
tables;;" and still another gigan-
tic headline which should have
read, "The British Lion Shaking
His Mane," dazzled readers with
the alluring spectacle of ''The
British Lion Skating in Maine. y
A book entitled "Humor OF
Bulls and Blunders," gives a
luscious list of these fashesSof
genius, one of which was a New
York society journals strange
story of a ball at the White
House. The unfortunate repor-
ter, all unconscious that he was
to be led like a lamb to the
slaughter, had written: "Mrs.
Nestor wore nothing in the na-
ture of a dress that was remark
able," but the demon of the
printing-house was loose that
night, and next morning New
York was horrifed to see that,
"Mrs. Nestor wore nothing in
the nature of dress. That was
remarkable"
Again, in the New York
Worlds report of a political
meeting the word shouts was SO
ludicrously misprinted as to make
the blunder famous. 1t read:
THE snouts of ten thousand
democrats rent the air. -
A Kansas paper reported
speech in which St. John, the
prohibition candidate for Presl-
dent, sald: ITO get drunk is
folly.' But the printer got it,
"To get drunk is jollv."
There are others just as good
that have never been printed
that is but once-and one of these
was the substitution OF coffee"
and "beer" for the words
coffin" aud "bier" which ap-
peared in the New York World
IN an elaborate account of great
Masonic funeral.
A writer for a religious paper
in Springfield, Mass ouce
printed ''6ery rum" for ''fery
ruin"
In the makeup" of papers,
too, there is any amount of op-
portunity for the demon of the
composing-room to queer things
after his own evil devices. For
instance, a New Haven paper
announced that "the large cast
iron wheel, revolving 900 times
minute, exploded in THAT city
yesterday, after long and pain
full illness. Deceased was a
prominent 23rd degree Mason"
aud again, that 'John Faddeu,
we'll known florist, and real es-
state broker of Newport, Rhode
Island, died in Wardner Rus
sel's sugar mill at Crystal Lake,
Illinois, on Saturday, doing
$4,000 damage to the building
and injuring several workmen
SEVERITY"
At least there is this to be said
for type blunders: They add to
the none too large fund OF the
worlds merrimeut.
