The Egg Cure For Ee1ons.

A Chicago doctor says that for the
last fifteen years he has used egg to
cure ielou and has yet to see a case it

Make Il hole just large enough to admit

Southern Cotton Convention.

When the cotton convention meets in January fully 5000 delegates and their friends will gather in this city to remain here three or four days. Our hotel capacity is as large as New Or leans, but it is not large enough to accommodate 5000 people. The homes of our people should therefore bear a part of the burden No free entertain ment is expected, but all who are will ing to take for a consideration num- Der of those who are coming to the con vention should make the fact known to the committee of which F. Y. Ander- son is chairman. The more who will open their homes to our coming visitors the easier the task of entertainment committee will be.
 The delegates and their friends will be numerous. but to a man or woman they will be to the manner born. They will come up from southern towns and southern farms-for plantations have been abolished-to discuss the great southern staple. It will be a southern gathering in every sense of the word and all who come should be given a warm welcome and good attention.

ARMY OFFICERS CLOTHES.
He Must Spend 5000 for an Outfit
 When Commissioned.

From the Kansas City Star
 How would you like to be forced to in vest 5000 for clothing whether you had the money, or wanted to or not?
 This is what an army officer holding a commission in Uncle Sam's service has to do much oftener than he likes. If he does not happen to have the ready cash (and many of them do not have ib' he Is forced by army regulations to buy enough clothes on credit to tog out fir teen men.
 It is an army secret, but some of the lleutenants, fresh from West Point two years ago have only recently finished paying for their first 5000 worth Of clothes Their salvation is that their credit is good with the tailors who cater to the army officers trade. All the uni- forms are tailor made. It is nothing out of the ordinary for an army officer to be paying for his clothes on the install ment plan. That is one part of the army officers life that will probably not ap- pear very romantic-especially to the wo- men. But the rigid requirements make it necessary for the officer to spend a large sum of money for his clothes or suffer penalty for not having them.
 The pay of second lieutenant is $1040 year. One of the first things he has to do on receiving his commission is to fit himself with clothes to meet the re- ouired regulations. In the first place he has to have service uniforms of olive drab and khaki for summer and winter wear. There must be one kind for Irf, 1t while dismounted. It requires not less than four khaki uniforms of wash goods for field service. There are trousers for use while dismounted and the riding brooches. With the service uniform go the boots shoes, pigskin leggings, cap, service hat, saddle blanket to match unl- form, leather equipment and few other things.
 Then there are dress uniforms of blue cloth, one for mounted and another for dismounted service, with black boots and black shoes cap, cape, overcoat, hat and helmet There must be two sets for summer and two sets for winter of all the different uniforms. Then come the official dress uniforms for mounted and dsmounted service. With the official dress go gold shoulder knots and a belt OI SOlu, tOSllnS diJOut eoVs cap, iidb' patent leather shoes and boots. Next are the white suits for summer with white shoes and cap. Then comes the social full dress uniform for evening wear, with hat. patent leather boots and shoes, purely for social affairs.
 These are not all. There must be a mess jacket rancoat of a certain color, and flannel shirts. The officers have to furnish their own horses. saddles, and blankets. They have to pay their own board and for fuel and lights They even have to buy the furnishings for their quarters Uncle Sam only furnishes the shelter and the commission. Even the officers trunks have to be of regula- ton size. All these things mean an in vestment of about s2oOo at least, to begin with This is more than the first year S salary, and expenses never stop.

PAYS TO BE COURTEOUS.

William Hickok, in Angling by Guide Book" in the Outing Magazine for November.
 A canoe trip down the Fish river to the St. John. down the St. John to the carry connecting Long lake and the others in the chain-Mud, Cross, Square, Eagle and St Froid-was likewise barren of result. The second day out upon this trip we came up to a sportsman and his guide making camp by the only good spring of water within ten miles. Padding up to them, 1 said to the gentleman:
 How do you do, sir?'
 He replied with a grunt, How do,
 said, This is a warm day sir!'
 He replied: 'I know it."
 I whispered to my guide that l thought we would not camp near him, even if we had to drink river water. so We pushed on.
 A few days later at Cross lake while preparing to break camp the same pair hove in sight. When within hailing dis tance, the gentleman. in a most cordial tone of voice. said:
 Why. how do you do?''
 I answered. How do you do, sr?
 He said, "Got any tobacco?'
 I said, "Yes. sir
 He said, win you give me little?
 I said. No, sir
 He said, Come, now,I know why you say that it's because 1 was little grouty with you the other day when we met: but l am heartily ashamed of it now, and I awfully want the tobacco
 Come in to breakfast I said. ''I have plenty of tobacco. and a man who apolo- gizes as handsomely as that may have all he wants

Wonderful Animal.

'I have seen large number of per- forming animals on the stage, in circuses and owned by private individuals, but with a single exception l have never seen one that equalled Tip the little dog at the Majestic theatre this week, ' said an old theatrical man.
 Tn Barnum & Bailey's circus this year there was. an act in which an acrobatic dog performed and he performed many of the same tricks that Tip performs, and many that Tip does not attempt.
 Both of the dogs do some things that seem wonderful. The dog at the Majestic theatre this week seems to me to have more intelligence than the one in the circus for there are several Of his feats that he could not perform unless he did some pretty clever think ing Tip is not a bright looking dog; in fact his appearance on the stage $ that of a very sleepy animal. l have noticed that in connection with other ani- mals of unusual ability.
 For instance, Dan Patch appears 10 be the laziest horse in the world. On the track, until he commences racing, he looks as if he were half asleep Talk ing Tom, the pony at the Majestic the- atre recently had that same dreamy look about the eyes, but he had an abundance of sense. If I remember Jim Key, the great performing horse, he had rather q sleepy appearance
 "A person does not expect much Of Tip when he appears on the stage as first but the audiences warm up to him and he gets more applause than any of the performers"

Mir. Hearst's Position

It is not surprising that a candidate who admits under oath that he spent $256,370.22 in a single campaign, does not desire to run again very soon. But MT. Hearst makes his position plain, and he is a man who stands by what he says. He says he will never again tional, and he clinches this declaration with the remark, T am for Bryan for

 at least on his desire to prove his sin cerity in the principles he advocates. When a man is candidate, it is diff.

Respect Old Age.

"I have often remarked how polite and courteous young men are toward young ladies, and how dsrespectful the same young men are toward men who are their elders or superiors in merit" said one of the old school
 ''Gn my youth was taught to pay re- spect and deference to age, not only among rich people, but among the poor. was forcbly reminded of the changed condition of things by a story l heard Captain White tell in the federal court yesterday He spoke of a young man who was boasting of his knowledge, and said that he knew more than his father. Well if you know more than your father, he must be great fool said the person to whom the young man was making his boast
 You will never see young man rise to give his seat in a street car to an old man. although if lady enters, they will jump at once. These young men do not understand the principle upon which gen. tlemanly conduct is built. It is as much the duty of young man to show respect and courtesy to an elderly ntsl as 1t Is 10 d young lady.
 There is a saying to the effect that old age is honorable, and, if so, It should be honored. The old people are the ones from whom we learn wisdom. They can tell us where the pitfalls of life lie and save us from them. They may not know much about modern inventions and short cuts to wealth or greatness, but they can give valuable counsel in matters that con- cern morals and conduct. which many could hear with advantage"

IN THE HIGHLANDS.

By Robert Louis Stevenson. In the highlands, in the country places, Where the old plain men have rosy faces, And the young fair maidens
 Quiet eyes: Where essential silence cheers and blesses And forever in the hill recesses. Her more lovely music
 Broods and dies. to mount again there erst I haunted: Where the old red hills are brd-en- chanted And the low green meadows
 Bright with sward; And when even dies the million-t tinted, And the night has come, and planets glinted, Lo the valley hollow
 Lamp-bestarred to dream, to awake and wander There, and with delight to take and render Through the trance of silence
 Quiet breath: Lo. for there among the flowers and grasses. Only the mightier movement sounds and passes: Only winds and rivers,

OREGoN'S DALLYiNG.
c. L. Mckay, in Sunset Magazine
 

G. L. Mckay, in Sunset Magazine for
 November.
 oregon's climatic conditions render it one of the best live stock countries in the world ,Its climate is quite similar to that of Great Britain, which furnishes the rest of the civilized world with most of it's full-booded stock. William Watson, the noted Scottish breeder of Poll Angus cattle, when looking some years ago for an ideal place in which to breed cattle, selected Oregon. That his judgment was well placed can be readily seen by the number of fine herds that exist in Oregon at the present time. The Jerseys owned by w S. Ladd of Portland Is one of the finest herds of cattle that has ever been brought together. It Is doubtful if a better herd. of equal numbers could be found in the world. Their record at the world fair held at St. Louis thoroughly demonstrated their worth. While many of this herd were leaders in that famous test, we might mention Loretty D., that led all others in the cheapness of pro duction In 120 days, during the test, she gave 5,SO27 pounds of milk. containing 2sO 16 pounds of fat. Missy Miss. two year-old Jersey owned by Mr Ladd, has just broken the worlds record, giving over II GOO pounds of milk in one year. The Ladd's not only excel in Jerseys. but their Shorthorn herd carried off the herd premium at St. Louis, and again at the Lewis and Clark exhibition. Oregon has a number of other herds of different breeds that have won out at some of the leading fairs

Gen. Grosyernor's 1903 Forecast.

General Grosvenor, who has but three months more of congressional service to come, gets fuller of "figgers' as his term of retirement and obseurity approaches. He says the elections of 1906 determined the result of the cleo tions of 1908, although two years of legislation and discontent will inter- vene Nothing can, however, obstruct a professional forecaster when he is "fgger" struck. Triggers have long been General Grosvenors specially, and the habit clings to him even in his days of defeat.
 To be brief, he hands over New York to democracy, thus giving them 193 electoral votes. leaving 2S3 votes for any man who can stampede the next republican national pow-wow.
 Minnesota and Rhode Island went democratic this month, but General Grosvenor says they will elect repub- lican electors in 1908, and the other states that he depends upon are: Cali fornia Colorado, Connecticut, Della ware, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland Massachu- setts, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, 'S-5ew Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota. Utah, Vermont, Wash ington. West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
 But if Congress refuses to revise our noble tariff it refuses to make wealth carry it's share of the public burden in the form of an income tax if the trusts go on feecing consumers, and discontent becomes deeper as the cost of living is increased-what then Will New Jersey, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colo rado, Idaho and even Massachusetts, remain republican? The cost of living, controlled by the tariff and the trusts, will be the measure of discontent, and that in turn will be the measure of voting in 1908.

II matters not if a man or woman is only thirteenth cousin to the old general, that is sufficient to eonsti- ute a bond which the senator never all lows to relax.

Our November Weather,

If the weather man persistenly pre- diets much colder weather,' no doubt time will vindicate him, but just at present time is not coming to his aid with promptness and satisfaction. His predictions attest the courage of his convictions, but the thermometers con. tinue to record daily maximum tenn perature of so degrees. Eighty degrees in the later days of November is pretty warm, especially when a minimum temperature of SO degrees goes with it.
 The truth is, the weather of week has been chaotic in the south. While there has been a cyclone belt along the Tennessee line tapping over into Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, with warm waves at all points east of the big river-while this has been going on Texas and New Mexico and Colorado have had blizzards of which snowfalls, cold winds and freezing weather have been incidents.
 The cold wave of Texas is due here today, or at the latest tomorrow. and if 1t comes in "on time" the weather mans predictions of much colder" will be tardily vndicated. No doubt never" and the wayfarer wearing thick underclothes will certainly welcome a change to more seasonable weather
