is, you may use dime and a penny, or
half-dollar and a quarter, or a dollar
and nickel. Then, to vary it, YOU
may sometimes inquire whether the
final result is odd or even, or you may
ask for the figures of the result Of
course, the figures don't matter to you;
you only want to know if the sum is odd
OF even"
"One more trick, uncle, please, "
begged Lucy; it's half an hour yet till
dinner time
We'll, get some dominoes or checkers,
or 'parcheesi counters, or anything like
that"
So the children dumped the checker
box and domino box both on the table
Now III turn my back to you and
sit in this chair while you do as tell
you. Each of you may take lot of
the dominoes or checkers or both, and
arrange the ones you take in two rows
in front of you on the table. Make
one row longer than the other; say, six
teen in one row and nine in the other, or
any such way you like"
After a time this was done.
Now, each subtract the number in
your shorter row from the number in
your longer row, and tell me the differ
ence'
Fifteen" said Lucy promptly, and
Fred said: Three"
Now, Lucy, from your short row
take away two; and, Fred, from your
short row remove seven"
Yes, sir"
Take away from your long row as
many as are at present in your short
row."
This was carefully done
Lucy, you have now" said Uncle
Bob without looking around, Just seven
teen in your long row, and Fred, you
have ten in your long row"
Il do believe you have eyes in the
back of your head, uncle" said Lucy.
" Please try it again"
So they tried it again, and then Uncle
Bob explained it.
OF course" he said, 1T is harder to
do two at time, DIS did with YOU. But
suppose you are trying the trick on one
of your young friends. Ask first the
difference between the two rows Then
tell him to remove d certain number
from his short row. This number
which you tell him to remove, plus the
original difference which he told you,
will be the answer you want. Remem-
Der it carefully, then tell him to take
from his long row IS many as are in his
short row, and then announce the
answer as the number left in his long row.
1t will always come out right"
But, uncle, suppose | tell him to take
twelve from his short row, and he hasn't
so many as that in his short row."
Well then, he'll say so, and YOU
may say: Oh, well, then take away
three, or some small number like that"

r AINY-DAY DIVERSION S
With Coins and Checkers
By CARO- Lynn WE Ellis

JINGLE Bob" said Lucy in her
" wheedlesome way, " it isn't raining
but the paper says Probably showers,
so won't you give us new trick"
I'D like to know" declared the long
suffering uncle, if you children think
I'm made of tricks
We do said Fred, and l think we
have good reason to think So"
All right" said Uncle Bob resignedly
I'll show you {. trick if you can put up
the cash. Have you dime and a
nickel"
The silver coins were quickly pro-
duced
If you had two dimes and two nickels,
you could both try the trick at once"
Two more coins were exhibited
Now" went on Uncle Bob, hold
your hands behind you, with one coin
in each. Consider the number of pennies
represented by the coin in your right
hand, and multiply that number by any
even number"
After moment of calculation both
children wagged their heads to prove
that this had been done.
Remember the result, but don't tell
it to me- Now take the number of
pennies represented by the coin in your
left hand, and multiply it by any odd
number you choose"
Again the heads nodded affirmatively
Now add together your two products
Lucy, is your final result even or odd?"
Its odd"
Then you have the dime in your
right hand and the nickel in your left
Fred, what is your final RESULT"
One hundred and twenty"
Then, my boy, you hold your coins
the other way-the nickel in your right
hand and the dime in your left"
And as usual, Uncle Bob was right
Tell us howl clamored the children
and Uncle Bob explained it thus:
You need perform no calculations
to do this trick. Simply tell anybody
to multiply the coin in his right hand by
an even number, and the coin in his left
hand by an odd number, add the two
products, and tell you if the final result
is odd or even. If odd, he holds the
dime in his right hand; if even he holds
the nickel in his right hand"
Il like that trick" said Fred Just
because it is so simple"
You can use other coins, if you
wish, ," said Uncle Bob; but they must

POINTERS FOR HOMESTEADEk
Con ditIOns on which Forest IKE.
serve Lands May BE Acquired.

Much uncertainty exists among
settlers and others desiring public lands
a. to the conditions upon which agri'
cultural lands may be acquired in forest
reserves under tho agricultural settle
ment bill recently passed by congress-
Following are points condensed by
the Crook County Journal from in
structions to forest supervisors:
That the secretary of agriculture may
use his discretion about examining and
listing lands under the proposed law.
Only lands chiefly valuable for sgri'
culture will be classified under the bill.
Land covered with . merchsntable
growth of timber will not he declared
agricultural, except upon the strongest
evidence of it's value, both as to pro-
ductlon and accessibility to a market.
Areas known to have been occupied
by actual settlers prior to January !,
1906, will be examined first. and when
such areas are found chiefly valuable
for agriculture they will be listed, in
order that the occupants may make
entry under the act.
ANY one who was a bona fide settler
on land within forest reserve before
January l, 1906. but who has already
exercised or lost his homestead privi-
lege, may. If otherwise qualified, make
homestead entry under the provisions
OF the proposed law, but must pay
50 so per acre for any lands entered.
All applications must give the name
OF the forest reserve and describe the
land, examination of which is requested
by legal subdivision, section. township
and range, if surveyed, and it not sur
veyed, by reference to natural objects,
streams or Improvements with sufficient
accuracy to identity the land.

FARMERS ORGANIZE.
Sherman County Will Initiate

That Sherman county farmers have
taken hope from the success of the In
land Empire Whesigrowers' assoca.
lion formed in this city thsee weeks
ago. is shown by the fact that they have
organized on similar lines. says the Eas,
Oregonisn.
George N. Crossfeld OF Wasco, Sher-
man county, attended the mass meeting
in this city three weeks ago. at which
time the U.natlls county association
was formed and Immediately on his re-
turn the farmers OF that county arrang-
ed to organize.
A special from The Dalles says;
A mass meeting OF farmers has been
called to meet at Wasco, Sherman
county. Saturday, July 7, to discuss the
price now asked for grain bags and the
advisa ability OF holding periodical sales
of wheat, the same as woolgrowers cell
their wool.
Prices tor grain bags are out Of all
reason. the farmers say. and they intend
to hold off ,hreshing for 60 days, If need
be, until they can get sacks in the open
market at Hongkong, or in the east, and
bring them t. Portland. Enough
wealthy and independent farmers are
ready to pledge themselves to insure
this being done. The price OF bags in
Moro is II cents each. An option on
lot of begs in Portland was held by
Sherman county man todav at IA
cents. but his order for 10000 begs was
raised Q cents as soon as the option ex.
pired, because his money had failed to
reach the bank in time. The bags were
there and farmers cay they were worth
no more than they were before the
option expired.
Arrangements are being made by the
independent farmers to loan money to
farmers who may need financial assist
ance go that no wheat will be threshed
until the cheap bags get here form
Hongkong.
Threshing is not expected to start
here much before August 10, so that
working in conjunction with Umatila
and Walla Wall farmers, Sherman
county can get cheap sacks by direct
buying in the open market, if not other
wise, and still not delay harvesting
dangerously long.
After threshing the proposed organiza
tion will take charge of all wheat
offered for sale and invite outside
buyers and mlllers to come and sttend
genuine wheat sales.

TRAIN TELEPHONE.
O. r.. Il n. 10 Conducting Series Of
Experiments.

To connect the engine cab with the
rear OF tho train and in fact any portion
of it by telephone 10 the aim OF the
operating department Of the y. X. Il NJ,
and TO that end series Of experiments
is being conducted. So far they have
proved unsuccessful, as conversation
could not be carried on from one end of
the train to the other, but the results
we're decidedly salts factory between the
locomotive and bagRage-car.
At . recent session of the general
managers of the various Hartman
roads the question Of telephone COM
munication was discussed, and it was
pointed out that if the system conld be
applied to trains go that the conductor
and eogineer could talk while the train
was in motion operations could be
facilitated. Accordingly orders were
issued for experiments.
1t was found that the sensitiveness Of
the transmitter and receiver OF tele-
phone interfere with conversation. The
vibration of the engine and the noise
forward is carried to the speaker in the
rear, with the result that it has proved
difficult to distinguish the voice with
out almost yelling into the instrument.
The particular purpose for which the
train telephone was suggested was for
freight trains. Often 40 or so cars are
started in one train, and in the event
the conductor neglects to inform the
engineer OF the work ahead he is forced
to climb over the entire train to consult
with the "head end" Another matter
that has been given prominence in the
experiments is to provide cabooses on
freight trains with telephone instru-
ments so when they are chung up" at
blind sidings and cannot get onto the
line again without consulting the dis.
patcher they can connect with the tele-
graph wires, which are also used by the
telegraphone, and thus receive orders.
Requisitlon was made yesterday for
dozen instruments, and these will be
used On freight trains and at stations
where telegraph operators are not
stationed.
Cabooses carrying telephones are
equipped with ree-jointed pole,
similar to fishing rod. on the end OF
which is hook, connecting q wire run.
ming through the pole with the tele-
phone instrument and telegraph wire.
Bv means of the apparatus q freight
conductor can open communication With
the dispatcher and conversation can be
carried on at q distance of IS to 100
miles. The telegraphone is working be-
tween Portland and The Dalles salts
factorily. and likewise north of Rose
burg. At stations where there are no
operators the phones have been found
convenient. A request has been made
for the service at Meacham tunnel,
where considerable blasting will be
done TO widen the passage. Because OF
the absence Of telegrspher q phone
will be necessary go the workmen can
be kept Informed of the approach OF
trains and have the track clear.
In the operation of the telegraphone
connection 10 made with the telegraph
wires so messages can be sent and con.
versation held at the same time. The
speakers can distinguish the working Of
the telegraph keys distinctly. but the
talking does not interfere with the
transmission of messages.
