QUA HIRED MAN.

There never was. since time began,
A bigger shlRk than our hired man.
MerlaSses amt one-half as slow.
When he sets out a row to hoe
He takes q mornin' to a rev.
But when he sets to dinner, why,
XOu never seen a man so spry.
He covers ground like some old GOVT
A week Is what we must allow
For each blamed acre that he'll plough
But when it's time to feed
He'll have the record broke for speed
When in the medder pitchin' hay
He'll loaf one-half the livelong day.
Too hot fer work." IL what he'll say.
But when to grub he drors his seat
1t amt too hot fer him to eat.
In winter time he amt much good.
1t gifts too cold fer sawin' wood
he wants to have that understood.
But dinner time the colds all right
1t Jest gives him an appetite.
When corn's to shuck or seeds to drop
Or when we're harvestin' the crop
He allus thinks it's time to stop.
But meal times that don't 60 bit,
BY shucks he never wants to quit.

Parted BIZ : Half poIlnr.

In a certain Denver church On
Thanksgiving day a bright new halls
dollar was noticed in the aisle By q
woman In one Of the pewS. She was
wondering how she'd get 1t, and, gIane-
ing around to see II her discovery had
been noticed, she saw a woman direct
ly behind her looking at the coin. Tho
first woman feared the second would
"beat her to it." 30 she put her hand
over her mouth and whispered:
allow shall get that half dollar Z
just dropped"
"You didn't drop that 1 dropped
It." replied the other.
The women were both wondering
how to get the half dollar when a man
came along with the contribution box.
As he offered her the box a woman
across the aisle from the other two
said to him:
II Just dropped half dollar on thu
floor. Would you be 80 kind as 10
hand It to met"
The man picked 1t up and gave It to
her. The other two women, although
they are neighbors, haven't spoken "a

to habIt-but onlseeing the smartly clad
girls figure beside that OF Seamore, he
turned away and looked for his friend

No Plot Suspected.

Some of the witnesses of the shoot
ing said that Maille fired in the air.
1t is believed the man participated in
the recent seamen's strike and that
his mind has been unhinged by fan
cied grievances. 1t is believed also
that he aided in the revolutional agi-
tation of the general federation of
labor and the anti-militarists. There
is no reason to suspect plot, as Mail
lie only arrived here from Rouen last
night.
Maille appeared before an examining
magistrate and the authorities only
succeeded in extracting from him a
rambling statement about family per-
secution directed against him. 1t was
in order to draw public attention to
his grievances, he said, that he fired
the shots. The prisoner terminated
the examination by announcing his
intention to give no further explana-
ton, as he believed the magistrate
would do nothing to remedy his
wrongs.
President Fallieres has received nu-
merous kilograms of congratulation
from the rulers of many countries on
his lucky escape.
The attempt on the life of President
FaIlieres probably will strengthen the
governments intention to put stop
to the anti-militarist propaganda
which is already demoralizing the
army and becoming a menace to the
republic. Thirty-nine ringleaders
were arrested Sunday for kissing sol
diers who were returning from the re-
view. Other arrests were made at the
Place de la Concorde, where the lea
que of patriots held their annual cere-
mony.

LEON MAILLE FIRED TWICE AT
EXECUTIVE OF FRANCE.
FalIieres Was in Carriage on Crowded
Avenue Returning From a Review

MailIe, a Naval ReserVist of Havre,
Gives No Excuse for Act.

Paris, July 15.-The national fete
Sunday was married by dastardly
attempt on the life of President Fal-
Heres by Leon Maille, a naval re-
servist of Havre, who, it is believed,
is suffering from a mania of perse-
cution. Maille fired two shots at the
president, but did not hit him. He
was at once placed under arrest.
On account of the activity of the
anti-militarists, who tried to organ
ize demonstration against the army
throughout France Sunday, excep-
tional precautions were taken to safe
guard President Fallieres. The at
tempt on his life occurred on Avenue
des Champs Elysee while the presi-
dent was returning to the palace
from Longchamps, where he had re
viewed the garrison of Paris in the
presence of 100000 enthusiastic peo-
pie. Premier Clemenceau and NJ.
Lanes, the presidents secretary,
were with the president in his landau,
which was escorted by a squadron of
cuirassiers. The carriage had safely
emerged from the Bots de Boulogne,
where the militarists had been station
ed with the intention of hooting the
soldiers, and was descending the
broad Champs Elysee amid the accla
nations of the crowds thronging the,
sidewalks, who were shouting, "Vive
Fallieres!" "Vive Earnest" when at
the corner of Lesueuer street, Maille,
from the curb, fired in quick success
sion two shots point blank at the
president. Miraculously no one was
hit President Fallieres was cool and
collected when the cortege stopped.
The diplomats who were following the
presidents carriage alighted from
their carriages and hurried to the
side of M. Fallieres.
Finding that nobody had been in
jured, by the presidents orders the
cortege moved on. In the meantime
two policemen seized Maille, who
made no resistance, but the police
with difficulty prevented the irate
crowds, from lynching the prisoner
until a Gordon of reserves came up
and conducted him to the station.
There Maille refused to give any rea-
son for his act, saying:
''The revelations l have are so
grave and serious that l will only
make them before a magistrate for
transmission to the chief of state. I'll

and me. Il am the victim of many

New Line to Yellowstone.

Travellers to Yellowstone park will
soon have a new and more direct and
picturesque line of approach to this
wonderland. Work was begun some
time ago on an extension of the Ore
gon Short Line from st. Anthony,
Idaho, to the Madison river entrance
at the southwest corner of the park.
1t is now more than half completed
and the Hartman engineers con-
structing the line say that track will
be laid this year on the portion re-
naming to be built. There is a gap
of only about Is miles between the
finished portion of the Yellowstone
Park railroad. as the new line is to
be called, and its terminus at the

he desired men to work instead of
something with which to ouench his

Within the past few days a ship
ment Of coal arrived here for the
lumber company. and to unload the
cars the services Of a small crew Of
men were needed. In hopes of pick
ing UP q few workmen Mr.. Robinson
made tour Of Main street this morn
ing. Plenty OF idle men he found.
but they were all looking for work
In the abstract, and could not be per-
suaded to shovel coal. Whether II
was because they did not fear coal
famine or not, Mr.. Robinson did not
learn, but at any rate his offer OF
employment was rejected, and at the
last account he was still seeking in
vain for worhngmen who desired
work.

VIII Enforce the Screen Law.

Joe Clemens, fish and game warden
in this county, was in the city last
week looking to the protection of
the fish by asking ditch owners to
screen all bitches leading from the
main streams. Mr.. Clemens states
that in the past the authorities have
been very lenient in the enforcement
Of these laws, but are now inclined
to see that the law is observed to the
letter. The majority of the. farmers
and ditch owners put in screens as
soon as notified, and with only few
exceptions has the warden had to re-
sort to prosecution for open viola
ton of the laws. Mr.. Clemens states
that all violations of the law will be
prosecuted in future regardless of
who the offenders may be.-Wallowa

r. E. Berry, who was sent to the
penitentiary from this county in May.
1909, for the crime Of forgery, is the
first convict to receive the benefit
Of the law allowing prisoners credit
for good behavior. and was released
from the penitentiary yesterday, up
on the order Of Judge Galloway of
Salem.
Berry was serving six-year SEN
tence and would have been released
in 1908, at the expiration OF his SEN
tence, but a law passed at the last
session gives prisoners credit for
good behavior and by the terms Of
this law Berry should have been re-
leased June 1. but Superintendent
James refused to release him without
an order from a court, as It was not
certain whether the law was retro
active or not.
James maintained that It only ap-
piled to prisoners committed after the
law went into effect, but Judge Gal
loway held that II applies to all
prisoners in the penitentiary. and the
fate OF about - convicts were thus
effected by the decision.
