much concern and curiosity. They
read: I'VE are short of pennies. $500
for 1881 pennies He looked down up
on the lady, who was nervousy ex-
ploring the inner regions of her pocket
book, and replied, "Well now, really
cannot. I'll ask" And strnightway he
dow and besought of Mr.. Still, the
night operator. the desired informa-
ton Still didn't know; he had just
come on duty; it was probably Bur-
tons work. The tall gentleman with
the Vandyke beard returned to his
client and delivered himself of the sup
positive information received. TIL 2
ladys search in the depths of her purse
had evidently not been fruitless for she
produced an 1851 penny and with
something of a CLEAN of satisfac-
ton in her eye she presented her
name and address and asked. will
you take this penny and give it TO Mr..
Burton and collect the five dollars
If you will we will share the prem
ium
Her request was complied with and
the next day the tall gentleman with
VIC v ohpS NS oSoid appeared oSdit az
the ticket window and interviewed Mr.
Burton. Mr.. Burton's face broadened
into a grin. He seemed well pleased
with his bargain. Yes, he was giving
five dollars for 1881 pennies. He would
take this one and give the lady credit
and as soon as she sent him 1880 more
she would receive the promised reward.
Then the tall gentleman with the Van
dyke beard began to see the thing In
the proper light. He figured a moment
mentally and the result of his figuring
showed him that 1881 pennies We're
equivalent TO 1881 and that five dol
lars was not enough to warrant him in
making the contract. He took day 20
figuratively kick himself few times
and then set himself down and penned
a postal card to the nervous little lady
who was so anxious to exchange 4
penny for five dollars. 1t ran: II have
seen Mr.. Burton. 1t will require just
1880 more pennies to get the promised
SIS. I did not invest. Moreover, after
mature investigation. I find that about
the most valuable thing you can get
with an 1881" penny is a postal card.

IT'S HOT.
Manson Democrat1
The sun shines hot on the baking soil
And there's sweat and srumbling from
those who toll;
It's hot!
It's too hot to work and too hot to rest;
For summer drinks there's a con-
stand quest,
And the sun keeps shining it's very
best;
It's mighty hot!
There's the hush of death all over the
And the heat is baking the gardens
brown;
It's hot!
No rest by day and no sleep at night:
It's sweat and swear and feel like fight.
While the ice man laughs in his keen
delight;
It's beastly hot!
The ice cream man has his fortune
made
There's all kinds of money in lemon
ade;
It's hot!
The man who has peekaboo waists to
And OPEN work hose, is doing we'll
And smiles because it's as hot as
well,
It's plenty hot!

THE POPPY.
[Burrell in the Washington, Ia. Press1
If it had perfume and pretty stem

But there is no absolute perfect thing

child, climate country: everything has
its drawbacks and discounts. Aside
from the flower, the poppy is ugly.
peacocks, and the stem as harsh as the
voices of those birds.
Besides, it is so contradictory. Some
poet said ''the poppy hangs in sleep"
Where? When? On the other hand,
it is the most agile, intense, active
plant in the garden, never still, always
alert 1.-THE, all a-fiutter, its sensitive
petals crinkly with ripping motions,
as unquiet as an aspen leaf. 1t seems
to want to leap from its stem and go

tian Ghawazee. 1t is Gypsy all over
and thro' and thro'. 1t does not take
its own medicine, opium.
The bees are it's especial lovers, and
such freakishnesr, wantoness. and
mad frolic as go on in the garden all
day long. Amelia Rives and Ella
Wilcox should wear no other
flower in their hair. 1t is just the
blaze to set them off.
The poppy has variety too. 1t af-
fects red, vivid red red so intense as
to smart the eye" of the Witness
and paler tones of red, and white and
of them the liveliest of
stains. Perhaps Burbank could make
green and blue peoples, to complete
the gamut of signal fire colors in this
queer plant.
A vase of peoples on the dining table
gives the central tones to the board.
And when a petal falls here and there
on the cloth, it seems feather from
the Cardinal. These lovely scallops
hold their shell-like forms for hours
and days, and seem like flakes of fire,
but they do not ignite. The British
poets speak of peoples in the wheat"
as the perfection of the rural landscape.

Tacoma, Wash, June 2-The report
that the Hill and Hartman interests
may reach an agreement whereby they
will coo. erat, in the building OF q
double track down the north bank Of
the Colum hia River is not generally be-
lieved he'e by railroad men. Harri-
mans title to rights of way on the north
bank is nowhere clear, save at the
Cello portage road, and that could BE-
condemned under the detle and canyon
act.
"The defeated may surrender" said
a prominent railroad man today, one
too, who has been in the thick OF the
uorth-bank fight, "but he cannot offer a
compromise to the disadvantage of the
victor. Hartman can't block the
north.bank line now being built by
Hill. Completed, it will shorten the
distance between Portland and Spokane

ouzhly understands how serious a
menace that is to his interests. He il

Oregon will again become the center
OF lard fraud attraction next month l..
As soon a. Special Prosecutor Heney
gets through with the letterbook trial Of
Bineer Hermann in Washington, it ID
expected that he will come to Portland
aud resume the trial Of important cases
pending there.
It 10 not expected that the Hermann
cases ia Washington will take much
time. Now that the diIatory tactics OF
the congressional defendant have been
put to corner, and the case is schedu'-
ed to come to trial before the 10th Of
next month. it is expected to finish it in
little time. The governments evil
dence in the letter-book case ia believed
to he compact in form and little time
will be tak en- up IN placing 1t before the
jurv. The case Is unlike the Long con.
spiracy cases heretofore tried
District Attorney Bristol has said that
it is the policy of the government to
complete the land fraud cases between

means that ,he federal court house will

men OF prominence in the state and in

According to dispatch from Port

alleged destruction of 80 letter press
copy books belonging to tie general
land office, would come up for trial at
