a ROASTED RAT,
{: appears In Many Guises, According
to a Japanese Leqend.

q Appears In Many Guises, According
to a Japanese Legend.
IN olden time, runs a japanese leg
and, a Buddhist priest became ac-
quainted with daimio's courier who
on his journeys to and from Tokyo
would often stop and spend the night
~ The temple. He seemed to be a man
Of remarkable intelligence, with whom
it was IL great pleasure to converse up
on all sorts of subjects. One night, as
the two were talking together, the cou-
ricr said:
Il thank you for the many favors
you have shown Inc since we became
friends, but tomorrow morning l must
bid you farewell and never see you
again"
why must that beT' asked the
priest.
Il will tell you the whole TRUTH" an
swcrcd the courier. Il am not n man,
but fox. For the purpose Of deceiv-
Ing the daimio l assumed human form.
One of his retainers, however, became
suspicious and learned my secret. He
has made trap and baited 1t with q
roasted rat in order that he may cap
ture me on my return journey and put
me to death. Alas, 1t will be impossi-
bic for me to escapew
The priest exclaimed in astonish-
ment: Can it be true that you are O
fox? This Is a strange story. Since
you know all about the trap, why do
you not leave the bait untouchedT
Because it is impossible for fox,
when once it smells roast rat, to keep
from tasting it."
"Why, how is It," asked the priest,
that you, whose wisdom Is more than
that possessed by most men, can throw
away your life for the sake Of eating
roast rat? Among men, even fool
would know too much for that"
The fox answered, with a bitter
laugh: "Ah, it is only roast rat that
can lead fox astray. But men, though
we'll aware of the danger, are caught
by their love of pleasure, Of strong
drink or of gold. To obtain these they
not only throw away their own lives,
but they bring ruin upon their families
and their country.
"These temptations are only other
forms of roasted rat."-Youth's Com
panion.

THE WORST OF ANIMALS.
A Striking Portrait of Man With
Schopenhauer's Compliments.

A Striking Portrait of Man With
Schopenhauer's Compliments.
Man is the only animal which causes
pain to others without any further pur-
pose than just to cause 1t. Other ami
mails never do 1t except to satisfy their
hunger or in the rage Of combat. No
animal ever tormentS another for the
mere purpose of tormenting, but man
does 1t, and it Is this that constitutes
that diabolical feature In his character
which is so much worse than the mere
~ animal. l have already spoken Of
the matter in its broad aspect, but it IS
manifest even in small things, and
every reader has daily opportunity Of
observing it. For instance, If two little
dogs are playing together-and what n
genial and charming sight 1t island
a child of three or four years joins
them, it Is almost inevitable for 1t to
begin hitting them with a whip or
stick and thereby show itself, even at
that age, the worst Of animals. The
love of teasing and playing tricks,
which is common enough, may be trac-
ed to the same source. For instance, If
a man has expressed his annoyance at
any interruption or other petty incon-
venience, there will be no lack Of peo-
pie who for that very reason will bring
it about This is so certain that man
should be careful not to express any
annoyance at small evils. On the other
hand he should also be careful not to
express his pleasure at any trife, for,
If he does so, men will act like the
jailer, who, when he found that his
prisoner had performed the laborious
task Of tanning a spider and took
pleasure in watching 1t, Immediately
crushed 1t under his foot This Is why
all animals are instinctively afraid Of
the sight or even Of the track Of
man, that animal mechant par excel
lence! Nor does their instinct play
them false, for it is man alone who
hunts game for which he has no use
and which does him no harm.-Scho-
penhauer.

The Falling Leaf.

The falling of leaf is brought about
by the formation of a thin layer of
vegetable tissue at the point where
the leaf stem joins the branch Of the
tree. After the leaf ceases to make
starch and sugar for the tree this It's
sue begins to grow and actually cuts
the leaf off. 1t is therefore not q
mere breaking away on account of the
wind bending the dried stems. but an
automatic severing of the member no
longer useful The falling Of ripe
fruit is dependent upon the same proc

The Art of Skin READING,

Skip reading is an accomplishment
of our own time. An ordinary man or
woman of today can extract all the
requisite information out of n newspa-
per In less than five minutes by the
exercise of this new sense-for 1t Is
little else than this. The eyes race
down a column, pick up instinctively
an essential word here and there, and
the brain fills in the intervals intelli-
gently, producing q precls which Is
sufficient for the purpoSe.-Londop

The Oregonlan refers to Slusher'S 9
bill relating to certain fees for the
sheriff of Morrow county, vetoed
by the governor, as "a bill to re-
store the sheriff of Morrow county
to the fee system" But this is
not correct, says the Pendleton
Tribune. 1t had no reference to
the duties of the sherlff-only to
those of county coroners in such
cases as, for any reason, the sheriff
was called upon to discharge them.
1t was a good law, is the law now
as to Umatilla county, was per
mitted bv tie governor to pass
two years ago and would not cost
the taxpayers a cent more than
will be the case without it. But
Slusher was a member of the leg
islature and necessarily was looked
upon with suspicion.-Pendleton

GIVEN RANGE
Stoc men Got Subtraction From
For the First Time.

It seems that the forest reserve
officials have at last agreeded to
consisder the needs OF tho Grant
county stockmen for the stockmen
who weat to Heppner to the meet
ing returned with smiling faces.
They are we'll satisfied with the
distribution of the range; satisfied
because they got what was their
dues and nothing more. In other
werds they all received range in
,he Heppner Forest Reserve and
were given range in accordance to
the rulings of the department
which state that the men. who
live next to the reserve shall be
considered before those who live
at distance. Furthermore, it is
reported that the Columbia river
stockmen were only given a mar
row strip for passage through the
reserve. This considerate action
on the part of the forestry officials
comes in the nature of a surprise
and is scarcelv understood.

The Thomson boys, of this city
received a letter from sister who
lives in the Alberta country, stat
ing that they We're experiencing 2
the coldest weather in the history
Of that country. She said that the
thermometer had legist cred as
low as Is degrees below zero, and
that stock were dying in large
numbers. But very few stockmen
had hay and those that did could
not look after their cattle owing to
the severe weather, and were offer
ing their cattle for sale as low as
$3.50 per head. She said further
that now since the weather has
moderated they we're hearing of
people that were frozen to death,
daily, most of them being stock
men. There seems to be worse
places than Oregon. Better stay
with your Morrow county ranches,
where you have a sure thing.

1T PAYS TO he HONEST
Smnrs Young MAN Tries TO Work
Surveyor and Gets PInchea.

A fresh young man hailing from
Iowa came to Heppner one day
last week, with the thoughts OF
getting a timber claim uppermost
ID bis mind.
The thought that Heppner peo-
pie were easy has been entirely re-
moved from the mind Of the young
man who fua!ly landed in Jail.
Going to the Office of County
Surveyor Heath, the young man
whose name is Hess, made known
his wants and employed Mr.. Heath
to take him out and show him tie
timber.
Mr.. Heath after a couple Of
days Of hard work succeeded in
pleasing the locker for timber.
Hess was shown the timber, was
given the proper description of the
land and the matter was to be all
fixed mp Monday, when Mr.. Heath
was to be paid for his work.
Bat Hess had The description Of
the land and had no more use for
the surveyor. He skipped out
Sunday for lone and Monday
morning took the tram from the
slatter place for The Dalles where
He intended to file on the land.
Mr.. Heath heard of Heis's move
ments and went to lone Monday
morning, where he got cold re-
ception from the foxy land locker.
To shorten the story, Mr.. Heath
telephoned to an officer at The
Dailes aud Hess was placed under
arrest as soon as he arrived at the
latter place. He was placed in
jail and now wants to settle.
