A Little GOosebOne Rot.

Welcome, welcome, sweet Octo-
Der when the quail shall whistle
shrill, when the coal man gets in
action with his pesky little bill;
when the frost and pumpkin poets
sing the old familiar strains, and
the foot ball gladiators scramble
one another's brains. Doubly well
come, hallowed season,
When the wild goose travels
space, when the hunter in the wild
wood shoots the rabbit in the face.
When the last years hat made
over shows up in the new fall
stock, and the bug-fed turkey
shudders every time he sees the
block.
The husky husker in the corn
will trill his little ballad, the rae
coon in the forest deep will eat
persimmon salad, the robin red
breast, growing chilled, will slowly
southwark nutter, and the angels
in the skies will catch the scent of
apple butter.
The football rooter, full of root,
will go off on his autumn toot; the
player with the college hair, the
while the horns and trumpets
blare, will butt around till he is
thrown and someone breaks his
collar bone. The lusty sound of
rah rah rahs will urge the fell and
bloody cause; the girls in mass and
colors come, will sing and scream
and swallow gum. The giant full
back, fierce and stout, will pick a
little fellow out, kick in his stats
aud change his face, and maui him
up and down the place, and when
the foe shall cease TO breathe, will
proudly claim the victor's wreath.
The baseball fan will lose his
job, the highball iend is broke, the
crank is now abroad
spreading odor thick as smoke.
The ice cream soda has fixed out,
the ice man slacks his pace, the !
small boys save their nickels now
to buy a comic face. For IIallow-
cen will soon be here with pump.
kin, spooks and pranks, and II the
hoodlums pass us up we surely |
may give thanks.
BE glad, be glad, the worst is
past, the next few weeks look good. |
The tramp has quit the road be.
cause it's time for saving wood.
November crisp is OH the way with
'old Thanksgiving airs, and the
president will set the day in time
or turkey prayers.

SWIFT GETTING ACTIVE.
Twenty-eight Acres of Floor
Space Under One Roof.

Swift & Company plan to begif

blocks. Its stupendous size may
be realized when il is stated that
there will be four acres of space on
each Of the seven floors or 2S acres
under the one roof, a total of / 40
600 square feet.
G. &. Colt, local manager for
Swift & Company, has just left for
Chicago, where plans and specifca-
tions for the main building above
mentioned, for the cold storage
plant, the EGGPLANT, engine house
aud power plant, will be drawn
forthwith, following in a general
way the plans of construction Of
the vast establishment at Pack

stated definitely that not an indus
try in the Northwest will be oper-
ated on so large scale or embrace
so many large and up-to-date build
ings as will the beef trust plant
and stockyards here.
Mr.. Leonard, of Chicago, who
is chief of construction for all the
building operations and extensions
of the Swift people, has been in
Portland for two days looking over
the local situation with view of
determining the convenience, cost
and opportunity of getting the
structural material needed for fhe
vast plant in the local market.
Portland, il is said, will be given
the first chance of supplying every
brick, beam, spike aud shingle for
the plant, and n good deal Of the
equipment in case local people can
furnish il. This decision has been
reached by the Swift people be-
cause Of the car shortage and the
inability TO get orders for structural

many months. II is almost an
indication that the beef trust desires
to hasten work OH It's plant.

From london Bridge In a Sack.

Some years ago Il porter named
Fuller, employed at Billingsgate
market, London, made bet that he
would jump from London bridge
tied up in a sack, his only stipuls-
tion being that he should be proyid-
ed with a knife, which he was not

with which to rip open the sack.
He succeeded in accomplishing the
feat and when picked up by some
friends in boat was none the worse

the following answer; "In the first

as that which has no parts and no

Calmly pisnifisd Under The Most Try.
inc Circumstances.

Calmly Dipnified Under the Most Try
ing Circumstances.
A great man whose wife was de-
voted to him, but was subject to in
zane attacks Of jealousy and resent
ment, was once visited Mt his coun-
try house by two old time friends.
He welcomed them with marked
eordiality, and, seating himself be-
tween them on the piazza, was soon
deep in confidential conversation.
While he was listening to what they
had to say and occasionally replying
to an argument which seemed to
him more plausible than logical the
door behind him was suddenly open
ed, and from it emerged his wife,
with an angry face and pail of wa
ter.
Without a word she deliberately
upset the pail and drenched him
from head to foot. The two friends
sprang to their feet in astonishment
and caught sight Of the resentful
woman retreating into the house
with triumphant air.
The man who had been subjected
to this shower bath arose without
word, went into the house and in
ten minutes returned to the piazza,
having made q complete change Of
dress.
His friends were still in the yard
and were wishing that they could be
transported by balloon or magic car
pet to their own homes, where they
would not be witnesses of strange
and embarrassing domestic scenes.
Their host called to them and
placed the chairs on the piazza.
When they were all seated he re-
sumed the conversation with the
simple remark, "As / was saying,
my friends" and then went on with
the discussion, picking up the thread
where IL had been dropped and max
ing no reference to what had hap
pencd.
He was quiet and dignifed and
did not betray in his manner trace
OF the modification and annoyance
which his wife's exasperating attack
must have caused.
"A weaker man would either have
TO his friends for sympathy
or striven TO apologize for the
strange and irrational conduct Of
the woman. lie had neither accusa-
tions TO make nor excuses TO offer.
He stroye to put his friends at ease
by diyerting their attention from
the painful exhibition of his wife's
iniirmity by engaging them in ami
mated conversation.
So successful was he that the three
were soon laughing, chatting and
arguing together us though nothing
had happened.
When the time came for the two
visitors to drive 20 tho station TO |
take train their host said goodby
TO them ut the gate with tho re-
mark that they had had a delightful
afternoon together.
The great man loved his wife and
knew that she was not responsible
lt all times for her caprices and re-
Unwilling TO talk about
her inhrmities, even with old and
trusted friends, he acted with rare
self possession and good taste in
maintaining rigid silence and leav-
ng them TO infer for themselves the
reasons for his reserye.-Glasgow

How to Cure a Coli.

The question of how to cure a
cold without unnecessary loss of
time is one IN which we are all more
or less interested, for the quicker
a cold is gotten rid of the less the
danger Of pneumonia and other
serious diseases. Mr.. B. w. l..
Hall, of Waverly, Va, has used
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for
years and says: II firmly believe
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to be
absolutely the best preparation on
the market for colds. I have re-
commended II to my friends and
they all agree with me. For sale
