FOR REALISM.
Robert Louis Stevenson's Injunction to
Small Nephew at Play.


A story about Robert Louis Steven
son not generally known, according to
the New York Sun, is told by Mrs.
Stevenson's grandson, Austin Strong.
When Mr.. Strong was a little chap
Mr.. Stevenson liked to sit propped up
In bed to watch him at play in the
next room. And often it happened
that the bigger boy of the two would
make suggestions for the make be-
lieve games and insist that they be car
ried out too.
One day Austin had arranged some
chairs in a row, playing that they
were ships. and he, standing on the
front, was the captain. For a long
time he proudly walked the deck OF
his vessel, encountered pirates and
weathered all kinds Of storms until he
felt the floor positively heave under
his feet
Mr.. Stevenson looked on in perfect
silence. but complete absorption. no
doubt playing the whole thing much
the harder Of the two. Finally Austin
got tired of his vessel, climbed off his
chair and began walking across the
room to some object which had at
tracted his interest.
This was too much for his uncle.
Still deep in the game, Mr.. Stevenson
rose in his sickbed and shouted ex-
citedly at the recalcitrant sea captain:

THE Last Spike" Comedy.

the northwest no longer has the allure
ment for the people that this feat once
possessed on the frontier 1t is a per-
functory matter now, and its chief
interest is the opportunity it affords
people to get out Of shops and Offices
for . day and enjoy an excursion.
Twenty-Five years ago when the o.
r. & n. railroad was being built
through eastern Oregon, hundreds Of
people then living in the eastern Ore
gon counties had never seen a railroad
train and there was a genuine interest
in the construction Of the track and the
coming Of trains.
People rode in on horseback, in
wagons, buggies and by every known
conveyance to see the railroad. Every
mile Of the construction through east
ern Oregon was marked by crowds Of
eager people anxious TO see the marvel
Gus work Of tracklaying proceed.
The locomotive, cars and even hand
cars were things Of SURPRISING inter
est. The locomotive drivers Of the
pioneer days, dad" Moon, John
Matheson, Frank Leayitt and Others,
were beings but little removed from
the angels in the sight Of the school
children and school ma AIMS, and 10 ride
on an engine with one Of these superior
beings was an ilridescent dream ever
lingering sWeeuy about The heart Of
the timid school MAJ

II Gave the Hungry Preacher an APP
petite For Dinner.
Before accepting an invitation II is
as well to be sure it is given in good
faith. After an afternoon service held
many years ago I'm a certain village in
Scotland the preacher, a stranger. who
had officiated. accompanied one Of the
elders of the congregation home and
was introduced to his wife. The good
man having asked the clergyman TO
stay to dinner, the latter. after a little
pressing, consented
The good lady hurried off TO prepare
for the unexpected guest, and, seeing.
as she thought. her husband washing,
as was the custom in those days, at
the family sink. she seized the family
Bible. approached stealthily from be-
hind and brought down the ponderous
tome upon his bald pate, exclaiming:
TAX ye that for bringing hungry
preachers here to dinner every time
they come TO the parish"
AS soon as the assaulted one could
get the suds out Of his eyes he looked
about him and, after thinking the mat
ter out. concluded that the old lady
had made a slight mistake. She, too,
came to the same conclusion when, on
returning TO the parlor, she beheld her
husband patiently waiting for his rev

FOE -nE COMPLEXION

4 young lady came into the Appeal
information bureau this afternoon
and timidly wanted to know OF a good
recipe for the complexion. How The
mischief she thought we knew one
has got us freed, but it SO happens we
do. We give it here entire for the
benefit OF our feminine readers: Take
one large basketful of clean clothes
fresh from the wash tub that your Old
mother has been breaking her back
over all day; go out to the clothes
line in t he back yard; stick two big
clothes pins in one corner of your
mouth three in the other and one in
the middle, and hang out nine sheets
while the wind is blowing with the
velocity of seventy miles an hour. Do
this without using a crossword, and if
you don't have a complexion that will
skin Nine Yales a mile, your case is
hopeless.

HOD SLOCOMB
 LOCKED UP!
Feed by His Wife

Eod sloeomb has suffered the loss of a buffalo robe, a halter and several other things from his buggy shed this winter, and when he went out tother morning to do some work and discovered part of a harness and some other things missing. Hod was mad as a wet hen and almost beside hisself with anger tords the theeves. He cussed around some. and then he made up his mind that he would fasten up the buggy shed so tight that no thief couldn't get in without a key to save his neck. Well, with this thot in mind and in the heat of rage Hod went back to his house and stayed a few minnits and then come out with big spring lock wich he nailed on the buggy shed door. After turning the key back and forth a few times and finding the lock give turrible satisfackshion, dod went into the buggy shed to work. for getting to take the key outen the lock. After a short spell the door closed with a bang before Hod knowd whot had hap pened.
 Then it suddintly come to him that he had locked hisseif in and he hollored to his wife who had went to spend the day with Mrs Amri TIaines. Hod tried to kick the door down. but it resisted his assaults. and as Hod lives some distance from the road no person heard his cries. so the result was that he didn't get out until evening. when his wife come hone and was horrible surprised to Ind Hod missing and the house all dark. She then hollored for Hod and ast him where he was, wich Hod answered mighty quick. and she let him outen the shed. The fust thing TIod done was to smash the lock all to pieces, and then euss the man who made it.
 At present they aint any lock on the shed at all, being as there aint ennythink in 1t to steal except old buggy and horse collar.
