No Rhyme For Tipperary.

A poet once jumped to the conclusion
that there was no rhyme to Tipperary
and said so. whereupon an indignant
Irishman, who chanced also to be bit
of a versffier. pounced upon him and
poked fun at him in lengthy poem.
every other line Of which rhymed or
was supposed to rhyme with the place
In question. Thus:
A bard there was In sad quandary
To find a rhyme for Tipperary-
Long labored he through January,
Yet found no rhyme for Tipperary;
Toiled every day In February.
But toiled in vain for Tipperary:
Searched Hebrew text and commentary,
But searched in vain for Ttpperary.
And so on through many scores Of
stanzas, ending up with:
He paced about his ayiary.
Burnt in despair his dictionary.
Blew up sky high his secretary.
And then I'm wrath and anger sware he
There was no rhyme for Tipperary.

Cooking and spoilins.

There are three kinds of cooking
negative. neutral and positive The
first Is no cooking at all. 1t Is only
spelling good material. 1t Is simply
jabbing wildly at a delicate duty. The
neutral sort Is the kind where person
eats and doesn't know it-just swal-
lows and goes; no sentiment, no beau
ty, no delight In 1t. The third Is where
the light Of the mind and the grace Of
the heart join In the delicate mingling
of the material and touch this and
that feature Of the process with the
lovely vision Of the sculptor who
rounds the white muscle of Venus
shoulder or of the artist who blends In
a flower the tints of another world

Cajanus. Swedish giant who was
nine feet high. was on exhibition In
London in 1742, and several old hand
bills still exist which set forth the
measurements of this freak of nature.

twenty-five. from hard drinking. Cot
ter O'Byrne. another Irish giant, fol-
lowed a few years later. He was
born at Kinsale in 1761 and at the age
Of fifteen was eight feet high. This
by the time he was twenty-three had
increased to nine feet four inches, and
then he changed his name to O'Brian
In order to make people think that he
was descended from King Brian Bo-

ADAMS ESTIMATE.


i Charles Francis Adams Is quite
72 years of age, and ex-United
soldier. of distinction, who served
down to the end, and was mus
tered out of service in 1865 with
the rank of brigadier general of
volunteers. He was, from his
early days, his family traditions.
/ his environment and his educa-
tion, intense in his loyalty to the
cause of the North, and equally
intense in opposition to that of
! the South.
4 He was selected to deliver, and
:. did deliver, the chief address on
the Centennial of Robert E.
i Lees birthday at the Washing
ton and Lee University, Virginia.
/ His address has attracted wide
and deserved attention. aud the
following excerpts should be
perused and preserved, as the
Icandid estimate of a former foe
of the South's chief and great
Imam:
/ Whatever the technical charge
of treason against Lee, the great
leader of the army of Northern
i Virginia. and one of the greatest
isoldiers of all time, "he stands
awaiting sentence at the bar of
history" says Mr.. Adams. Gin

William of Orange, with John
Hampden, with Oliver Cromwell,
with SIR Harry Vane, once a
lgovernor Massachusetts,, and with
3 George Washington. eff in all
respects similarly circumstanced,
/ / hope should have been fillial
and unseifish enough to have
Ildone as Lee did,"
! "Whether acting on the defen-
'lsive upon the soil of his native
Estate or leading his army into the
enemy's country" said Mr..
Adams. "Lee was humane, self
restrained and strictly observant
of the most advanced rules OF
civilized warfare. His famous
Chambersburg order was model,
, which every invading general
would do well to make his own. "
The Gettysburg campaign was. in
J my opinion. timely. admirably
} designed, encrgetically executed
and brought to close with con.
sumate military skill"
"Lee and Jackson made an
extraordinary and most excep'
tional combination. They out.
classed McCleilen and Burnside
Pope and Hooker; outclassee
them sometimes terribly, some
ftimes ludicurously. always hope
lessly."
81 do not believe that any
more formidable or better organ
lied or animated force was evel
set in motion than that which
Lee led across the Potomic in thu
Iearly simmer of 1868. 1t wa
essentially an army of fighters

: mass, could be depended upol
for any feat or arms in the poNe
of mere mortals to accomplish

was in the estimate of his an

e
was based on his own recen
lexperience, though in othe
fields. - I fully believ'
that on the fourth day of Get
teysburg Meade had but firmly +

NEWS OF THE WEEK


Through the efforts Of the peo-
Pile Of Spray and Of that vicinity,
a good road around the Sheli
Rock grade has just been COM
pleted. This road will now make
a good route of travel into Spray
for the people up the river and
will be a boon 10 them as well as
to the enterprising town of
Spray. These same good road
builders" are now agitating an
other Improvement, a road
around the Black Rock which
would put them over five miles
nearer Fossil or this city than
by the present route of travel.
In an editorial the Spray Courier
has the following: I'VE have
heard several persons say that
they would give both money and
work and many more would give
work. The business men in
Spray and the ranchers around
town could well afford to give
$500 in money and as much more
in work. With this work COM
pleted and the cut off from Win
lock to Condor finished our
freight depot would be many
miles closer than it now is.
Then Condor would draw much
of the trade from up the river
which now goes to Heppner and
II would all have TO pass through
here thus helping our own town.
This work will not do itself, so
who will be public spirited enough
to start a movement with this
end in view?"
