by Chamberlain's Pain Balm.

Vernon, Conn, was recently in great
pain from a burn on the hand, and as

CREEPING UP THE STAIRS.
By Eugene Field.

By Eugene Field.
In the softly falling twilight
OF weary, weary day
With quiet step entered
Where the children were at play;
was brooding DER some trouble
Which had met me unawares,
When little voice came ringing,
ME is creepin' up the stairs"
All, it touched the tenderest heart strings
With breath and force divine,
And such melodies awakened
AS no wording can define!
And L turned to see Our darling,
All forgetful of my cares
When [ saw the little creature
Slowly creeping up the stairs.
Step by step she bravely clambered
On her little hands and knees,
Keeping up constant chattering
Like magpie in the trees;
I'LL at last she reached the topmost
When DER all her worlds affairs
She, delighted, stood a victor,
After creeping up the stairs.
Painting heart, behold an image
VI mans brief and struggling life,
Whose best prizes must be captured
With noble, earnest strife.
Onward, upward, reaching over,
Bending to the weight of cares;
Hoping, fearing, still expecting,
We go creeping up the stairs.
On their steps may be no carpet,
BY their sides may be no rail;
Hands and knees may often pain us,
And the heart may almost fail.
Still, above there is the glory,
Which no sinfulness impairs,
With its rest and joy forever,
After creeping up the stairs.

A SAD DAY FOR MY DOLLIEs.
By Elizabeth Leigh.

oh, dear, such an accident happened to-day
While Dora and Molly and l were at play!
We harnessed my kitty to Molly's red cart
And fixed in the dollies all ready to START
My kittie behaved just as we'll as could be
Then into our yard trotted Molly's dog Rover
And stopped for minute to look the cart over.
My kittie just flew with that cart at her heels
And purr'd every minute, she liked it, you see
And tore round the corner, when off came the
wheels
Then Dora's rag baby bounced into the street
And Molly's Amanda cracked both china feet
And-isn't it sad? My wax Ethelind Rose
Lost off the wee tip of her dear little nosel"

END OF a BAD GANG,
Lewiston Country is Now Rid of Trio
of Bold Thieves,

The Lewiston Tribune says of the
disposal of a bad gang of thieves OF
that section:
Michael Burns, one of the trio who
robbed the five stores in Charleston
last June, and who subsequently be-
came insane from exposure to the
weather during an escape. being later
committed to the Medical Lake asy-
lum, has been discharged as cured,
and arrived at the county jail today
to stand trial on the burglary charge.
Burns has been in the hospital
about a month. and at the time he
was committed was unable to talk or
hear, his condition being considered
by physicians to be very dangerous.
The affliction was the result of be-
ing subjected to the suns rays during
the warmest period of the year, when
in company with Fred Stang and
Frank Brown he was enjoying a BRET
period of liberty from the Asotin
county Jail. The prisoners sawed out
of the steel cell on the morning OF
July 4 and escaped down the river
being later captured at Goose island
by Sheriff Richards and posse. Stang
fell victim to Harry Draper's deadly
aim, and Brown is doing time in the
state penitentiary at Walla Walla.

SALEM "FELL DOWN"
Capital Journal Complains OF Poor
Entertainment for League.

The Salem Journal complains about
the way Salem treated the meeting
Of the Oregon Development league, in
that city as follows
Salem people are not satisfied with
the way the State Development league
was entertained, says the Journal The
local committee, composed of Presi-
dent Derby, II. b. Thielsen, John H.
Scott, J. II. Albert and f. A. Turner,
were very active in making arrange
ments for an excursion over the city
on the new electric line and an en-
tertainment at the Salem Indian
school, with a banquet at Hotel Will
lamette for the officers of the State
league, and the other prominent men
at the head of the state development
work from all parts of the state. All
these arrangements of a social nature
were Cancelled on request of the Port
land manager, who was opposed to
much doing in the line of entertain
ment.
Delegates were here from Klamath
county and from Coos Bay and South
ern and Eastern Oregon, who had to
pay admission after admission to the
state fair, only to be told there was
no opportunity given for presenting
the matters in which they were vitality
interested. They went home disgust
ed, and say no more such manage
ment is desired when an organization
attempts to speak for and represent
the whole state.
