1t is reported that Andrew Lewis
made a crackerjack of a horse trade
the other day, and that John Day
negotiated the deal.
~
The 4th of July now a thing Of
the past, the clamor Of the small
boy for q circus is again heard in
this town.
People can talk all they please
about the strawberry crop being
rnined with frost; it's nothing COM
pared to the way it is being ruined
with cream and sugar.

A young man was seen recently
with two heads on his shoulders.
Both were fully developed with
rather handsome features. The
young man is not museum freak,
as might be supposed. The other
head was the property Of his sweet
hearl.
22S
A man dropped into Benefits
drugstore yesterday and inquired of
Carson Wh1tmoro the price of
sulphur. ''Ten cents per pound"
said Carson. Isn't that pretty
high? l can buy it of Sears & Roe
buck for seven cents" You can
get it in hill for nothing" answered
the druggist.

A young man inquired of us a
few days ago whether he should
marry a beautiful or sensible girl.
Well, if it was our case we would
endeavor to have both of these &C
cOmplishments blended in one. A
sensible girl is a help to her hus-
band, and her beauty is always
pleasant to look upon.
SSs
The other day a small boy with
fish pole passed the printing Office
on his way home. The devil, who
is rather an 1nquisitive fellow, fail
ing to see any in the lads posses
sion, yelled out: Hello kid! What'd
you catch?" The lad promptly
answered: Don't know. Hain't
been home yet"

council was held at the city hall
Monday evening for the express pur-
pose of acting upon a license ap-
piled for by Dorous Griswold to
maintain billiard hall in the Rud-
ersdorf block, and to consider other
matters of Importance.
Mayor Miller presided, Clerk
Stone read the minutes and all the
aldermen were present but Aid.
Bailie.
A little episode was enacted, not
on the program, that will not be for
gotten for some time.
Editor Burne Pollock of the Teller
has incurred the ennity of the
mayor in various ways the past
year to the extent that the execu-
tive informed the reporter at the
last meeting of the council held a
few weeks ago not to enter the
council chamber again.
Mr.. Pollock advised with the
sheriff and plead for protection but
as no warrant was made out to ar
rest anyone or to quell any dis
turbance no attention was paid to
the matter.
After calling the council to order
Mayor Miller observed Burne
Pollock over near the door, pre-
pared to take notes, and his ire was
aroused. Without ceremony he
arose from his chair, walked across
the room, grabbed the Teller editor
by the arm and pre- emtorily assist
ed him to the door, ejeciag him
with a push. Pollock IS gritty,
figured he was in the right, and
returned, only to receive the same
gentle reminder that his presence
was rot wanted. The third time
similar dose was applied with pos
sibly little more force, by the
mayor, who stood barring the door.
But few words were exchanged in
the ejectment proceedings, but the
city's executive had blood in his
eye and the newspaperman was
determined to stand his ground and
obtain admission to the room.
At this juncture Aid. Fischer,
who could not put up with much
grief on account Of a painful wound
to his eye-a1d was present against
the wishes of his family-arose, said
he had seen enough of the per-
Torrance and retired from the
room.
Aid. Barnett HANDED the mayor
an admonitiOn that things haG
gone far enough" and not being
championed by any member Of the
council in the difficulty the mayor
desisted IN his attempts to keep
Pollock out and went TO his chair.
The Teller man then was free to
chronicle events of the evening with
out further interruption.
The business of the council was
then taken up. DorOus GriswOld's
license was allowed; it was voted to
purchase 20 rustic seats to be placed
around the court yard park; and a
lengthy discussion was had in ref
erence to the new cement side
walk Miss Watts is about to con-
struct. The matter was finally left
to the board of public works, with
authority to act, and the council adj
journed.

MRS. WIN GRAHAM.

And he that sat upon the throne said
Behold. make all things new. Kew Il D.
EVERYTHING here upon earth will grow old
And crumble to dust, and decay.
But Oh! the glad promise we have in Gods
All things shall be new some day.
Lille Taylor was the Oldest
daughter of Geo. E. and Charlotte
Taylor; she was born Oct. %, 1870;
was married to VIM. Graham April
z, 1897, and crossed over to her
home in heaven July Sd, 1907.
She received early Christian train
ing and at very early age stood
up before men and made public
confession of her faith in Christ, as
the dear heavenly father asks each
one of us to do.
AS years went by circumstances
seemed to make 1t hard for her to
meet with Gods people in his house
of worship on his holy day as
Christians should, but she had often
expressed the desire to do so especi-
ally of late, since she considered
that little Harvey (their only child
was old enough to understand the
teachings of Gods word.
But she has now gone where she
will be near her Saviour to worship
him without any earthly tempta-
ton to draw her away. What a
happy thought, to be IN his loving
presence forever, day and night.
All, did say night? What habit
we mortals have of using earthly
expressions, l should have said
always as there is no night there.
There is no night on the other shore.
Everything bright forever more"
After her marriage she went to
keep house for her husband on a
farm near Potosi only a few miles
from her childhood home. Here
this loving wife and mother faith
fully performed her home duties as
best she could altho her health had
been failing her day by day for a
long time. But few months ago
she became unable, try hard as she
would, to do for the home any
longer, then it was that loving
hands tried to do all that poor frail
mortal hands can do to help one in
distress; sisters left their homes and
spent weeks with her doing what
thew could to help; the aid OF sever
al physicians was called, but none
could take away the suffering, until
the Great Physician laid his loving
hand upon her poor pain racked
brow, when 10, the pain vanished.
She was not at home when the
death angel called her, but was at
the home of her husbands brothers
in Dubuque, Iowa, where we had
taken her for a short stay hoping
the change would benefit her; she
was brought back to her home IN
her casket thus adding to the sad
ness of the occasion. Her trouble
was at first pronounced disease OF
the nerves, but later, tumor on the
brain. She leaves here besides her
husband and little son, q father,
two brothers, four sisters and many

other relatives, her mother hav-
ing passed through the gates of
pearl many years ahead of her,
and fr1ends-no need to mention
friends for one of dear Lilies quiet
loving nature has friends wherever
they go.
Friday afternoon, July 9Th. a
gooAly number of these friends met
at the home and followed her first
to the Boice Creek church where
we had very good sermon by Rev.
r. G. Bennett of PotOs1, and sweet
singing by Rev. and Mrs. Bennett
assisted by others of the Boice
Creek church, then on little farth-
or to the cemetery, where we laid
the form of our dear Lille to rest
until the resurrection morn.
Her body near the bodies,
OF loved ones gone before
Her spirit with their spirits
Safe on the other shore.
We are very greatful for the
kindness shown by friends in our
time of need. COUSIN FLORENCE

TURNED OVER THE STORE AND
STOCK.

The New York Credit Co.. dealers In
finest grades of men and womens
wearing apparel assigned the entire
stock for the benefit of the creditors
to the Shafer- Whittier Co., of Port
land. Sometime ago the New York
let the lease slip on the big store on
Commercial Stand moved the fine
stock on 9th and Bond SITS. 1t was
fatal mistake as the present store is
not large enough or central to the re-
tail districts. The stock, including
new spring goods arriving, amounts to
about s1O,OOOOO. Just whether the
stock will be sold in a lot to some big
Astoria firm. handling fine goods or
whether it shall be sacrificed at retail
sale will be decided in a short time
The Shafer- Whittier Co., agents are
in charge of the affairs representing
majority of the creditors.
