 He stepped to the back of the barn and looked about him. Nobody can see me from here," he said in satis- faction. Then he scraped together a pile of chips and sticks and built a fire, filled the tin can at the brook, sat it on two stones over the fire, rolled himself cigarette and waited. A large, yellow tomcat came out of the brush and threw his green headlights on him, meaowing tentatively.
 Hello, pussy!' said Red. "You hun gry too? We'll, just wait minute and we'll help that feeling. Like bread, pussy?" The cat gobbled the morsel greedily, came closer and begged for more. The tin can boiled over. Red popped the eggs in, puffed his ciga- rette to bright coal and looked at his watch by the light. Gee! Ten min utes more now!' said he. Hardly seems to me as if I could wait" He pulled the watch out several times. "What's the matter with the d-n thing? I believe it's stopped" he growled. But at last "Timew he shouted gleefully, kicked the can over and gathered up its treasures in his handkerchief.
 "Now, MT. Cat, we're going to do some real eating" said he. "Just sit right down and make yourself at home. This is kind of fun, by Jinksr' Down went the eggs, and down went the loaf of bread in generous slices, never forgetting fair share for the cat.
 "Woosh! I feel better. cried Red. And now for some sleep" He swung up into the hayloft, spread the blan- Eet on the still fragrant old hay and rolled himself up in a trice.

 The cat came up, purring and "mak- ing bread" He sniffed feline fashion at Reds face.
 ''Foo! Shoo! Go way, pussy! Set tie yourself down and we'll pound our ear for another forty miles. I like you first rate when you don't walk on my face" He stretched and yawncd enor- mously.

 DOan's Kidney Pills are recom- mended by your own tOwnspeople.
 Waterbury Testimony.
 James COnnally, of SI East Clay street, Waterbury. Conn. says: "Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of backacIe and kidney trouble after I had suf- fered for years and had doctOred for it without getting relief. Thomas Mill fer, a friend of mine boarding It this house. was all broken up on account of his back paining him. He was weak in the loins and sO badly trOubl- ed that he was homesick. He had as bad case of kidney trouble and backache as I ever saw. told him about Deans Kidney Pills and asked him to send to H. W. Lake Drug Company for a box. He began taking them and in a few days was back at work. His hack is as strong as ever now. \ number of cases have come to my notice where Doan's Kidney Pills have cured people of kidney com plaint and backache. I look upon them as a certain cure. My own ex- perience with them was some years ago and I have not had to use any kidney medicine since"

Rescued a Foxy" SouirreI.

nescueo FOXY SquIrrel.
 A man in New York state who owns several fine cats stepped out of his house one day to see two of his feline possessions crouched in the grass, and equidistant between them sat a com mon striped squirrel, not daring to move hair lest he invite the sharp claws of one or both of his enemies, but the anxious brown eyes rolled from side to side as he calculated his chances of escape between the two. The man walked on toward the squirrel, and when he came within jumping distance the squirrel seized his opportunity and leaped upon the mans trousers and ran nimbly to his shoulder. Then the man backed slowly toward a tree at no great distance from him. Again when within leaping distance the squirrel jumped into the tree and dis appeared amid its branches.

Move to Prevent Hoardinq.

Clearing house bankers announced that an arrangement had been made
 hy which practically every trust com
 pany and every small bank would is sue checks for large amounts upor clearing house banks. thus sending the checks through the clearing house fol payment and causing the issue of ad. ditiOnal certificates. The value of such move. it was pointed out. was that 1t would prevent in great measure the taking of large deposits from banks and trust companies for the purpose of hoarding and would enable business men and other persons to get a great or amount of cash for ordinary busi- ness dealings.
 George w. Perkins of !. P. Morgan X Co. announced that all the trust com panies had agreed to issue checks in payment of large amounts stamped with the words Payable through the clearing house." Practically all the trust companies have deposits with clearing house banks. and they can issue checks upon those banks It was explained further that all trust com panies that wished to abide by the re- Iuirrment of the clearing house to keep q surplus reserve of 15 per cent of their deposits would get substan. tial aid from clearing house banks at once.
 The banks. it was explained. would accept securities from the trust com panirS for the checks caShed. Such securities. of course. bank may de- posit with the clearing house as a pledge for certificates.
 Sixty Day Rule Not to Be Enforced.
 \ cheerful feature of the local sit nation is that the application of the thirty. sixty and ninety day rule by the savings banks will not be rigidIy enforced in cases Of actual necessity. 4 plan to issue certificate checks to take the place of cash has practically been decided upon. and ii is believed that this scheme will prove satisfac- tory.
 The departure of Secretary C0rtelyOu for Washington removed a conspicu- ous figure from the field. but it is felt that with President Roosevelt's strong support. as expressed in letter given to the public. Mr. Cortelyou's presence at Washington is favorable to such further governmental assistance as might le required.

PANIC DISAPPEARS.
Confidence Is the Keynote of
 Financial Situation Now.
QUICK RECOVERY EXPECTED.
Issue of Loan Certificates, Bankers Believe, Will Prevent Hoardins and Relieve the Coneested Money Market CorteIyou Returns to Washington.

New York. Oct 2S.-IndicatiOns on
 every hand pointed to complete re- i turn of confidence in financial condi.
 tiOns. The feeling was apparent ev- | anywhere that the uneasiness of the last few days had disappeared. Officers of banks and trust compa- nies united in an expression that the 1 situation, critical at times, had been met and provided for entirely by the able and concerted action of strong men under the leadership of J. Pier. pont Morgan and George B. Cortelyou, secretary of the treasury
 In many of the churches in Manhat- tan and Brooklyn the pastors took Oc. caSiOn in the course of their diScOurSes to warn their hearers of the folly of drawing their funds from the banks and eXh0rted them to remain calm and do all in their power to aid in the speedy restoration of absolute busi. ness confidence Archbishop Farley was among those who urged concerted action to this end.
 Satisfied Storm Is Over.
 William A. Nash, president of the Corn Exchange bank and who has act ed as chairman of the clearing house committee during the absence of Will liam T. Woodward; l. Edward Sim mons, president of the Fourth National bank. and other leaders in banking cir cles expressed themselves as satisfied that the financial storm was over and that day or two more would find the situation entirely cleared.
 Mir Morgan and James Stillman, president of the National City bank and active representative of Standard Oil interests. were absent from the city. both having gone to spend the day at their country homes The ab- sence of Mir. Morgan was perhaps the strongest indication that a strong tide of improvement had set in. Mir. Mor- gan during the last week has worked | early and late and was naturally fa- tigued as result of the long hours he has been compelled to devote to the solution of the problems in hand.
 Tired as he may have been, his 1 friends know that he would not have | left the city had conditions remained | with further work for him to do to aid in the restoration of con. fidence

new office on recommendation of c. W.
Lamar, the local manager Of the com
pany, and it is well to assume that the
Improvements here with the Western
Union, are only made to meet those of
the railroad companies.
When MFR. Reed was in Astoria on a
recent visit he remarked to Mr.. Lamar
in connection with the moving of the
office:
"rhe company is making this change
because it firmly believes in the future
of this city and is merely preparing for
the time when it will have to meet more
business, Astoria is on the front page of
progress and the company is willing to
carry out its part 1t will not be re-
sponsible here with a small office when
the city is growing and prosperity is on
every side"
Mr.. Reed had not been in Astoria and
only came after continued invitation by
Mr.. Lamar and being furnished clip
ipings from newspapers concerning the fu-
ture of this city. This is one of the
best ways Of advertising and if every
manager of an outside company would
furnish its publicity bureau or superin.
tendent with newspaper clippings con-
eerning Astoria there would be more
frequent visits from the big men and
later on improvements as a result of
these visits. 1t is certainly good way
to advertise and Mr.. Lamar's system has
shown results.
The office will be finished throughout
in oak. The plans that are being drawn
now provide for as convenient and as
efficient office as the San Francisco
office of the company. There will be a
waiting room for customers and tele.
gram desks fitted out with blanks, check
books and all other documents needed
for transacting business over the lines,
There will be thoroughly modern
A. D. t, system and employees enough
to provide prompt service to all parts of
the city.

The fact that the Western Union
Company is to move its office from its
present location to No, 100 Twelfth
street, alongside the new Weinhard-
Astoria Hotel, October |, has more sig
nifcance than appears on the surface of
the statement. The Western Union will
not only change its lantion but will
spend several thousand dollars in doing
so and in fitting up the Office and the
A. d. I. wires in the city The office
will be one OF the most modern on the
coast when completed and there will be
an addition of the American District
Telegraph of $50 boxes in this city and
the present boxes will be rewired and
renewed.
r.. I. Reed, superintendent of the
Northwest on second district OF the
Western Union, comprising the States Of
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Mon
tana, would not spend all that money
in fitting up new office if he was not
well assured that Astoria is going to
grow into big city, He will have an
office here that win be second to none
on the coast, Mr.. Reed, by virtue Of
his position, is familiar with all the
railroad manipulations throughout the
country; if he isn't, the head offices of
the company are. Wherever new rail
road goes there the Western Union key
men are found. Where the terminals of
railroads occur there the Western Union
has large enough office to handle all
tho business.
1t is known that Mr.. Reed has recent.
ly been in communication with several
Of the railroad interests which are build
ing towards Astoria and his orders for
