The South the Place to Die.

Two southerners now living in a
northern city were exchanging recol-
lections.
Whatever became of -, who

years after reconstruction" asked
the Kentuckian.

ments, about four years ago" an
swered the Georgian.
Didn't he do well here?"
Better than he ever did before.
But Jim had a streak of that fool
sentiment which has kept so many
Southerners down at the heel. He
was always pining."
IF he was doing so we'll why did
he pine?"
He always used to say to me that
this was the best town on earth to
live in, but he always got the blues
when he got to thinking about dying
here. And what do you suppose was
the kick about that?
II was up at the house one night
and he got to doing business with
the undertaken as usual made my
self very inquisitive, for 1 had got
tolerable tired Of hearing him on that
topic.
''Thereupon he dug up a bundle OF
southern newspapers They were
from several states. Jim began open
ing the file. Nearly every paper he
opened had an obituary of some
prominent man or woman.
Look at 'em!' said Jim, in a for
lorn sort of way.

That's it, he replied. Every one
Of these obituaries has mourning rules
at the top and bottom, and in some
cases the whole of the page IS In
mourning. They read as If the wri-
ters were broken hearted. Some OF
the articles have poetry in them
Now and then there is some Latin
"I asked him If it wasn't all right
for a good man to have such a send
off.
He allowed as 1 was right.
THAT'S what l am talking about,
he said. That's what l want fell
low, like you and me has no chance
to get a nice notice here. The other
day one OF the best men in Alabama
shuffied the coil and got less than
half dozen lines, and some OF the
papers here don't know yet that he
is dead. When l got my batch OF
Alabama papers they had left out the
sheriff's sale and some of the county
news in order to make a spread on
my old friend. It's the same when
ever a good man dies down there
1T was a streak of sentiment in
Jim. He couldn't help 1t. 1t preyed
on him until he just quit good bus
mess here and hiked to the back
yonder."
And he is waiting to die, reckon,
so as to get a good obituary"

day after his demise, and all there

lived long there to go anywhere else.

CHAPLAIN TALKS ABOUT CANTEEN
Army Preacher Says Its Abolition Has
Resulted DisastrousIy to Ma
jority Of Soldiers.

Chaplain John A. Ferry, of the Tenth
United States infantry, stationed at
Fort LawtOn, in a speech delivered at
the entertainment of the Knights of
Columbus in Seattle recently, in speak
ing on ENLISTED Men at Short Range
declared that the abolition of the army
canteen was curse. He scored the w.
Q. T. U. for it's misguided efforts and
said 20 per cent of the men got drunk
now on pay day, a much larger per-
centage than when the canteen was in
existence. The men then stayed at
the canteen and were content with
beer. Now they go into the cities and
become intoxicated. Ferry said:
''The soldier boy is we'll aware of the
distaste the average civilian has for
him. Is it any wonder, then, that, be-
ing a social mortal, he sometimes seeks
the companionship Of questionable
characters? I say sometimes, but not
always. The rule is otherwise. I find
much self-resepct under the cover Of
the rough blue shirt. The rank and
file is a school of advancement as we'll
as the military academy at West Point
Self-respect is a requisite for promo
ton as we'll as intellectual efficiency.
In the army there are close to $50 COM
missioned officers who have come up
from the ranks out of a total of about
$500. The mere fact of commissions
being granted them is a convincing
proof of their moral as well as mental
efficiency. That some fall by the way
side is quite to be expected, as even
the divine institution of the church
has it's renegades''

Much interest Taken in Probable
Outcome Of Smith Case
WILL AFFECT MANY WHO HAVE RETIRED
ATTORNEYS SEEK TO COLLECT
ANNUAL FEE FOR SECURING
MORE PAY.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 81
Retired officers of the United States
army and navy are now awaiting with
considerable interest the outcome OF
the suit Of George A. and William B.
King, practicing law in Washington
D. c., under the name of King & King
against Rear Admiral Joseph A. Smith
U. S. N. (retired), now pending in the
common pleas court. The suit is for
about $500, for legal services rendered
in obtaining, or trying to obtain, fol
the defendant increased pay under ar
old law
The suit is particularly interesting
because it is we'll known that King &
King have been instrumental in Sc
curing the increased pay for more
than ninety other officers of the army
and navy on the retired list, and that
they will file similar suits against all
of them should the decision in the suit
against Rear Admiral Smith be in their
favor
The common pleas court denied judg-
ment against Rear Admiral Smith, but
King & King took an appeal and the
appeal is now pending. 1t is stated
that according to an existing agree
ment the ninety or more officers for
whom King & King obtained the in
creased pay, are bound to pay to the
lawyers twenty per cent of the increase
in their pay as long as they live.
Decision of Court.
Under a decision of the court of
claims on June 7, 1900, all rear ad-
mirals of the navy listed in the nine
lower numbers were entitled to in
creased pay. Some time between that
date and June s. 1902, King & King
secured powers of attorney from all the
officers affected, and under this power
OF attorney anu Contract started anu
fought to a conclusion their test case,
entered in the name Of Rear Admiral
William c. Gibson. On April 25, 1904,
King & King lost that suit, and it is
claimed by the officers that the loss
of the suit cancelled the agreement
on their part to pay 20 per cent of the
increase to King & King in case they
should win the case. 1t is claimed that
the ruling of the court of claims, I'M
der which the increased pay was final
ly granted, was made in a case which
had been decided favOrably by the at
torney general of the United States
previous to the filing of the Gibson
test case. King & King had nothing
to do with that case.

HEPPNER POLITICS ARE BOILING
Question Is, Whether Town Shall Be

HEPPNER, Or. March 27-POlitics
in this county is beginning to simmer
Several parties have announced them
selves as candidates for the various
county offices at the coming June cleo
ton Among them are E. M. Shut, OF
Heppner, the present sheriff, and A. K

who will try for the sheriff's office.

ticket E. G. Noble. present county
treasurer, has announced his intention
of running for that office again this
spring, on the democratic ticket. w. E.
Hiatt, of this city, will be republican
candidate for county commissioner. The
democrats are slow about coming out,
but it is expected that some announce
ments of democratic candidates will be
made soon. Registering is going on as
we'll as can be expected.
Considerable excitement is looked for
at the primaries, and the fight for
nomination for sheriff between Fuller
and Shut will probably be a hard one.
Shut will represent closed town,

prominent citizens did he consent to

Mrs. Stephen had been spending the
afternoon with a neighbor, and in the
evening her husband telephoned to her
asking when she would be home She
replied that she would soon be there,
and within an hour she reached the
house. She was astonished at not find
ing her husband, but as he was fond
OF playing practical jokes, she imagined
he had hidden himself, in order to give
her scare. After calling up her
friends on the telephone and assuring
them of her safe arrival home, Mrs
Stephen started to search for the miss
ing man. He was nowhere to be found
about the house, and taking a lantern,
she went to the hay barn. She CROPPED
about in the semi-darkness, finally run
