to get home. She confided in Officer

Careless.

From Harper's Weekly.
 During the financial dog dags of a south ern college a wealthy merchant called upon the president to say that he had provided in his will for a rather handsome bequest to the college, to be paid after the death of himself and his wife, The president was overjoyed, and asked per mission to announce the gift in the city paper. This request was granted on con- dition that the donors name should not be mentioned
 Accordingly the president wrote a eulo- gfstic notice of the donation and hurried to the newspaper office. In his haste he neglected to give his item a title The editor, hurried and worried, absently clapped on the first words that came to his mind; and the item appeared the next morning with the following caption:

Barney Kelley, a laborer on the

Of a stick Of dynamite, while endeav-

says the Dalles Chronicle. The man
had the explosive under his left

tore the mans left side just below the
heart, leaving a cavity large enough
to hold a mans closed fist and allow

Rcplenlshlng Stream and Field.

BY reason of persistent fishing and
the construction of dams on the low
er Touchet which prevents fish from
getting to the upper branches of the
stream, the famous Touchet as a
fishing stream has been destroyed,
says the Dayton Courier-Press. The
only practical remedy has been the
replenlshing OF the stream In the
headwaters with young fish propa-
gated by the aid of the government
Charles e. Whitney Of Walla Wal
la, deputy state game warden, has
taken much interest in this matter,
and he has made application to the
government for 250,000 rainbow trout
eggs in the eye, which will be hatch
ed out in the established hatchery at
Walla Walla.
A good portion Of the fish hatched
out from these eggs are assured for
Columbia county for the county
commissioners at their last meeting
appropriated 800 out Of the fund ac-
cumulated by the charge made for
hunters licenses for that purpose, to
be paid when the young fish areade-
llvered.
The remainder Of this fund should
be put to some good use by importing
young Chinese pheasants and eggs Of
that fine game bird, and liberating
them at an age when they can take
care Of themselves, as they have
shown they can when given a rea-
sonable opportunity.
The experience OF oregon is a good
object lesson in this respect. In fact
these birds have multiplied so rap
idly in certain sections Of oregon that
the farmers are seeking relief from
their ravages. We do not fear such
conditions here.
