In the Wedding Month,

Bishop Olmsted of Colorado was
talking at dinner party in Denver
about June weddings.
June is a lovely month";" he said,
and that it should be the month of all
months for weddings is a fact easily
understood.
Il was amused by the remark a jew
eler made the other day.
"The jeweler said that at this sea.
son 1t is a very common thing to see
well dressed, handsome, intelligent
looking young man come into his shop
and say, in painfully nervous way:
UNI, ali, er er-ah, er-ha, UNI
In this contingency the jeweler
simply calls to his clerk:
Get out that tray Of engagement
rings, Jackson"

A Hartford Editors Dream.

Will there come time when the
whole American people will unite in
support Of some one man for the pres.
idency, no other candidate being pro-
posed or thought of?
It may be SO. We wish it might
come about in 1908.
Should such situation arise, the
platform on which the American peo-
pie will stand, all together-not a
kicker among them-will naturally be
very short and simple. Indeed, 1t may
consist Of less than half line Of the
narrowest column of the smallest
newspaper in the land. Here it is:

IRISH IN AMERICA.
Philadelphia Recorder.

Philadelphia Recorder.
No page in history reveals mi
grafton as that of the Irish to Ameri-
ca. The figures are astonishing.
From 1910 to 1860 not fewer than 2,
100000 Irish immigrants crossed the
ocean to settle in the U nited States.
from 1860 to 1880 an additional /, >
900, 900 made a fresh start in life in
the Great Republic over the seas,
and from 1880 to the present time,
another 100000 was added to our
population. Since 1860 the average
has been 100000 a decade. The 12
agricultural states, represented by
Ohio, Indiana. Michigan, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Missouri. Iowa, Mime
sofa, Kansas, Nebraska, North and
South Dakota, contain one-fourth of
the 5000, 900. OF the portion settled
in the North Atlantic states, but one
fifth are on farms; but this tendancy
to crowd to towns disappears when
tnO dLO dS
is shown by the large per centage--
over 50-of those who have taken to
farming in the IL agricultural states
above mentioned. 1t is only because
the bulk of the Irish in America are
not in the midst of farming districts
that they are less an agricultural peo-
pie than the other immigrant .ele-
ments added to the population. They
have found an outlet for their energies
in the congested districts, and their
wonderful adaptive natures have
allowed them easily to enter upon the
industries of the people among whom
they were thrown. It is in the eastern
states that the Irish promise to ulti-
mately constitute majority of the
population. This is already the case
in three New England cities. In
New York City they are barely be-
hind the Germans, and also slightly SO
in Chicago.

TILLMAN ILLUSTRATING 1T.
New York Tribune.

Senator Tillman was accusing po-
litical leader of overbearing and arbi-
tary methods.
He goes so far" said the senator.
He is like militia captain they
used to have in Concord.
This man came to Concord with a
war record and got a captains ap-
pointment in the militia.
He was martinez. The first day
he reviewed his company he examined
every hair on their heads, every but
ton on their coats. 1t was an ordeal
for them.
"On the whole the captain was
pleased with his inspection. One
thing dissatisfied him though. His
men all had clean shaven upper lips
Some had side whiskers, some had
mutton chops, some had goatees, some
had patriotic chin boards. There
was not one VINO had a moustache.
"The captain complimented this
company in short speech and con-
cluded by saying:
"tOnly one thing is lacking to
make crack, maItial-looking COM
pany of you-moustache. / want
every man Jack of you to raise a
moustache.

ATHENA, ORE, OCTOBER. .2s, 1906

The Pilot Rock branch road is as
suming something of more tangible
form than mere paper railroad. J.
W. Morrow, right of way agent for
the Hartman interests, in company
with Pilot Rock citizens. was busy last
week in securing right of way for the
road, and reports are to the effect that
in almost every instance he was sue
cessful. A. J. Sturtevant, one of the
oldest residents Of the place, set the
pace of progression by deciding grounds
for the depot and yards. He gave the
grounds free to the company, but
wise agreement was insisted upon by
the old gentleman to the effect that
two miles of the road bed must be
graded at the Pilot Rock end of the
track within three months and that
the road must be completed within
one year from date. Thus the road
seems assured. With it's completion,
Pilot Rock should forge to the front.
1t is the center Of the newly settled
district rich in resources, farming and
stock raising predominating.

Is Disease a Crime !?

sS0t very long ago, popular magazine
published an editorial article in which
the writer asserted, in substance, that all
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain it is, that much of the sickness
and suffering of mankind is due to the
violation of certain Of Natures laws.
But 10 say that all sickness should be
regarded as criminal must appeal to
every reasonable individual as radically
wrong.

ORATOR sHERIDAN'S STRATEGY,
Leslie's Weekly.

An orator who was equal to an EN-
ergency was the late George A. Sheri
dan, noted ''spellbinder' often
engaged by the republican national
com mittee.
At big meeting he was addressing
in town near New York, be was in
troduced by Mr.. O'Brien, the
chairman, in most fiattering terms.
In order to reciprocate, Mr.. Sheridan
paid glowing tribute to the sterling
qualities of the chairman, and
wound up the eulogy by asserting that
no man could say Mr.. O'Brien owed
him cent.
He owes me three dollars" came
Keen Celtic voice from the rear of
the audience.
1t was almost solar plexus blow
for the orator, and the audience start
ed to laugh and jeer. Rallying, the
speaker said: Don't be alarmed,
good friends; l will answer that man
presently" His intention was to gain
time, and, il possible, have the
audience to forget the incident, but
again that penetrating voice cried
out:
"He owes me three dollars cold
cash. -
Advancing to the edge of the plat
form, General Sheridan, in a conf
Dental tone, said: Eyes, know all
about the three dollas for my friend,
Mr.. O'Brien, has given me the inside
facts. Ladies and gentlemen the
truth is simply this, and it reveals a

Now this man is going around saying
my friend, the honorable chairman,
owes him three dollars, because he
could lend him only seven dollars
when ten was requested" A roar of
laughter filled the hall, and the in
man tried to answer the ora
tor. He was howled down. The
chairman whispered in General Sheri
dams ear, "You have saved me-you
