Oh, but Patty did look sc different. And so very funny.
 See 'er switch it, said one of the boys, and then they all laughed very heartily indeed.
 Then the leader of the Gang un- tied Patty and walked her about so the members could view her from all sides. Then, weak with laughter, they led her back to her stall in the barn.
 The Fierce Gang sat in their leave" talking earnestly. The "cavo. ,so-called, was in the hay now, and had hay ceiling. hay walls and hay floor. Simply hole burrowed in the hay.
 The Gang" was composed of four members, the sons of the village doc tor. There was Albert, alias Black Bert" aged IS; Richard. alias Dan gerous Dick" aged II; Leonard, alias Terrible Len," aged nine. and Ben. jamin, alias Bold Ben" aged seven. A dangerous Gang" surely.
 "Black Bert" holding in his hand an old revolver, of which half the bar rel was gone, was speaking with con- iviction.
 T tell you, fellers, we're in for 1t. Course. father can't help findin' it out right away, and then-well, we're brave fellers. ain't we? Say, did you ever hear of a trust?"
 : The younger members of the Gang glanced at each other inquiringly, looked uneasily at the leader, then nodded their heads solemnly.
 Well" the leader went on. q asked father what trust is. And he told me. But can't tell you. not just like he told me, but anyhow it's something where fellers bands theirselves to- gether to protect each other. Every body helps everybody else. and nobody never. never tells on nobody else. That ain't eggsactly what father told me: mebby you'd better ask him to tell you But nobody ever tells on mo- body. no matter what happens"
 "Father'll try to find out which one of us acshully done it." asserted "Black Bert" But" he went on, we all done 1t an we're to stand by each other. no matter what An no whip pin. shuttin' fin the stairway closet, goin' to bed early fer lots of nights, nor no nothin' will dr-a-a-ag 1t out of us.

Delinquent List in Baker County.

sheriff Ed Rand yesterday struck
his balance sheet on the 1905 delin-

due by the taxpayers and that the
sheriff has collected S200,$9S.S7.
This is the smallest delinquent list
ever to be printed in Baker county
and is extremely creditable to the

A FACT PROVEN.
shouIa Convince Even the Most skep-
teal of Its Truth.

II there is the slightest doubt in the
minds of any that Dandruff germs 10 not
exist, their belief Is compelled by the
fact that a rabbit innoculated with the
germs became bald in six weeks time.
1t must be apparent to any person
therefore that the only prevention of
badness Is the destruction of tho germ
which act Is successfully accomplished
In one hundred per cent. of cases by
the application of Newbro's Herpicide.
Dandruff Is caused by the same germ
which causes badness and can be pre-
vented with the same remedy--Newbro's
Herpicide.

When delegates from the conduc-
tors and brakemen met with O. r. &
n. officials in Portland yesterday af-
fternoon to consider the adoption OF
the eight-hour day on the Hartman
lines, it was decided to postpone the
final meeting and decision on the
matter for 80 days.
The delegates have returned home
greatly encouraged with the prospects
of securing favorable consideration at
the final meeting with hte officials.
In the meantime efforts will be
made to secure recognition for the
shorter day on other lines included in
the Hartman system and what may
be called a concerted movement for
an eight-hour day is now on. The
local difference between the firemen
and engineers on the Atlantic and Pa
cific in Texas has been settled, but
the eight-hour day issue is still being
considered.
1t is now thought that when the
brakemen and conductors present

Texas Trouble Settled.
A special from Austin, Texas, says
of the settlement of the trouble:

The basis of settlement was reached
tonight during a conference betweeI
Vice Grand Master Shea for the fire
men, and Vice Grand Master Wills TO
the engineers. The railway official
had no part in the final conclusion o
the trouble. The firemen are said t
