A Rare Specimen.

 Poor Bilkens.
 Bilkens was strolling up the board walk at Atlantic City when he ran into his friend Einstein
 Well" said Bllkens, "how goes it?''
 ''Why, haven't you heard the news? 2" asked Einstein.
 What news?"
 "Im marriedi'
 Congratulations, and all that sort of thing" said Bilkens shaking his compan- ion by the hand.
 "Yes, and that's no joke" replied Fin stein, for she's the most remarkable woman you ever saw
 "Of course"
 But Elnstein ignored the cynical inflec ton in his friends voice and hurried on. She cooks like q French chef and she's $ so economical that our joint expenses are less than when l was a bachelor, and she never scolds me for going to the club and staying out late. and she never gives me letters to mail, nor sends me on wild goose chases to match goods in the stores. and she doesn't cry if 1 forget to kiss her when I come home, and she says she wouldn't own an automobile if l could afford one. and she never has mentioned her former husband once. and I'm both cred with no mother-in-law, and she hasn't yet spoken of getting di--
 Stop stop" gasped Bilkens weakly.
 Why what's the matter? You're as pale as a ghostn'
 For an answer Bilkens only reeled to the ground-deadi
 The shock had been too much.
 Poor Bilkens!

Many shoppers on Streets.

A large crowd of shoppers thronged the city tonight as the result of the big pay on the mountain The Republic ore mines all paid off, together with other of the local plants. A record breaking crowd is on the streets tonight and the mer- chants are all doing a splendid business, the best midsummer trading of many years being done.
 Several sales are in progress and others are being arranged for the coming week. The second and third Saturdays in the month are the big pay days in this city and consequently great preparations are made by the local business men to cater to the trade.

Trials of Joe.

As king of the peddlermen. our dear Jo- seph Rosenbush has always taken the palm, but when 1t comes down to selling
 all-healng save we are not so sure that Joe will make good.
 Joe has traveled all over the district, and his fame as peddler has spread the whole county over.
 When Joe joined the order of Odd Eel lows, he distinctly stated that one of his easons for so doing was because he would at all times enjoy the privilege of being in the odd class, and his latest in- fiction on a long-suffering public proves conclusively that Joe means to make his word good.
 For the past forty years he could be seen at any time on the streets or roads, with wagon load of rugs or old hats, trying to "get something out of nothing" If d large firm in Birmingham happens to have a fire or a failure, Joe gets busy, and he was never known to waste nore than an hour in getting to the scene of trou- ble. Like good many of us, Joe is prone to mistakes, and he made quite large one in his last spring purchase. He hitch ed his little goat of mule up and started for Birmingham the other day In order to get there by the time certain sale open ed He got there too late and by that time everything that was worth having
 
 ty hats at 70 cents piece, and was com pelled to dispose of them at % cents each.
 After his return to the city, following his dismal failure in high finance, he an- nounced to his old college chum, David Fulton. that he was determined to do something that would put him "clean up on the streets. where even the dust fails to blow" Well, he started out to make an all healing salve, and he guaranteed in the circulars spread broadcast that this salve would cure anything from the ground itch to the pip.
 A person has to know Joe intimately in order to appreciate the importance of his discovery He has been accustomed to doctoring his little mule with turpen- tine, ginger and swamp root, and when the mule responded nobly he conceived the idea that he could make up d save that would cure every human i'll dreamed of The exact formula of the new prepara- ton could not be learned, but 1t is under stood to contain one ounce of Fulton s dream to health, two ounces of Rosen- bushes pride, one ounce of Forget Me- Not, seventeen ounces of "I Loved You But You Didn't Know It." and four

 From the windows of the house the offi- cers watched him run across the road anu climb the wall. He made his way quick ly to the nearest sufferer, raised the poor fellows head on his arm, and gave nun a long draught of cool water
 From one he went to another uhtll ms purpose was so plain in inc eyes oi the federals that all danger was over
 From all parts of the field came the piteous appeals again and again kirN- land had to return for water, and he spent an hour and a half in ministering to the needs of the wounded. Then he reioined his company unhurt.

 A drunken negro and two fighting wo- men were causing a rough house and the remainder of the crowd were in fear of d general riot. The appearance of the off, cers, however, quieted things down and the arrest of the belligerents enabled Darktown to proceed on the even tenor of their joyous way.

The Bank Clerk.

1t is the duty of the clerk to be zeal
Gus. The low spirited has no place in
a bank. Neither has the frivolous.
The man who works for a bank is re-
spected in his community because 1t is
known that the character Of his work
Is important and particular. He must
not only be direct and speedy in what
he does, he must not only be faithful
and constant in all that he does, but
he must go a step further and do what
he does with will, and good will
at that. Zeal requires interest and en-
thusiasm. One Of the troubles with
the bank clerk is that his senses and
his buoyancy are apt to be dulled by
the endless repetition Of details. There
is no way to shirk 1t. No bank clerk
can go home at night with his work
unfnished.-C. w. Stevenson in Bank
ers' Monthly.

over the government lands. These
roads will later have trees planted
along them. and will be made very
beautiful.
The visit of the Portland business
men is being looked forward to by
the people of Hermiston, though it
will be short. Nothing will be left
undone to show them the worth of
the future Of this end of Umatilla
county.
The meetings are still being well
attended in the Chapel car. Mrs.
Hermiston, wife of the Rev. Mr.. Her
miston, will go to Pendleton Sunday,
where she will speak in the Baptist
church at that place.
The foundation for the Hermiston
Mercantile company's building is
rapidly nearing completion, and it
,, will not be long before the building
will be put up.
Work is now progressing rapidly
on all parts of the Umatilla project
since the weather is so favorable.
The buildings which are in course of
construction will soon be completed,
and more new ones are being plan
ned.
The different contractors who had
work to do on different parts of the
TJmatilla project expect to complete
their work within the contract time,
which is May l for some of them.

at his house he saw the Quaker's wife,
who in reply to the inquiry whether
her husband was at home said he was,
at the same time requesting him to be
seated, and her husband would speed.

tiently for some time, when, the fair
Quakeress coming into the room, he
reminded her Of her promise that he
might see her husband. "Nay, friend
I promised that he would see thee,
He has seen thee. He did not like thy
looks. Therefore he avoided thee and
hath departed from the house by an
other path"

DIET AND HEALTH.

Use Foods That Will Give the System
the Oil II Demands.
Every person requires a certain
amount of oil In his food in order to be
healthy. Our ancestors lived to large
extent on olives, filberts, chestnuts
and other nuts containing oil. The
present generation uses too little oil In
its diet. This can be taken in the
shape of the pure expressed olive oil,
as an emulsified salad dressing or by
eating nuts, olives, etc. 1t may be a
matter Of choice how the system gets
Its oil, but certain amount is essen
tial to the enjoyment Of good health.
The good results of the habitual use Of
the above articles in the diet are soon
shown, especially when persons are in
clined to colicky indigestion and con-
stipation. Doctors will do well to IN
struct their patients to use pure olive
oil in moderate doses, also as dressing
for salads. Various kinds Of nuts have
high dietetic value because of the
oils which they contain and can be
used to advantage. When patients in
cline to consumption, pure cod liver
oil ranks at the head Of oily sub
stances, but the lesser oils also can be
taken In moderation.
Nature furnishes many cures for the
successful treatment Of diseases If we
