THE MAGIC ARTIST.

Jack Frost has wings of rainbow
And skates a dainty pair
He skins o'er the ice-bound waters,
He speeds through the frosty air;
He carries a magic pencil,
And he sketches, every night,
Millions and millions OF pictures
Before the morning light.
He draws for US the vision
OF his home at the northern pole,
The crystal sweep OF the ice fields
The frozen waves that roll
In humocks, and berg, and snowdrift
Across the Arctic sea,
And he smiles to think that no Other
Can draw as well as he.
--Lue +. Vernon.

SOMEWHAT PROFITABLE.

From North Yakima comes a story
that is worth noticing. for it shows
the wonderful possibilities Of the sage
brush soil when properly farmed and
watered.
s The story states that one of the
+ residents Of that city has discovered
the value Of his land when planted to
celery. Some japanese gardeners
leased it and set it to celery plants.
Then they fell sick. and the crop was
given over to the landlord. He cul-
t!yated the celery and placed it on the
market. At the lowest figure received
from dealers the crop would return
$500. and at the highest price $4,000
an acre.
That old resident Of the Yakima
valley has been one Of its citizens for
the past twenty-four years. He owns
tract of land that had not been
cleared of the native sagebrush until
last spring. The japanese gardners
saw the possibilities Of celery growing
i'm the rich muck soil that made up a
portion of the pasture. They quickly
seized the opportunity and began ac-
tive operations toward establishing a
profitable garden. The only thing
that caused their failure was sickness
and that brought out a revelation to
the owner of the land.
This incident is Of importance here
because in this county there are many
thousands Of acres of land equally as
rich as that Of the Yakima valley.
There is no better land anywhere than
that under the Umatilla irrigation
project Some day stories will be
told at Hermiston that will rival II
they do not surpass the one from the
Washington town.

Portland has seemingly not gotten
beyond the border day period. Last
evening bank in the heart Of the city
was held up and robbed Of $4,000
This sounds like tale from the olden
days when bold bandits held up stages
and raided towns. But the method Is
slow and II is now little used. The
modern mode Of bank robbery is
from within and usually the haul is
greater than that made by the Port
land thugs.

IN JUNGLEIlAND.

The beasts that roam in Jungleland
Are worried now to beat the band,
Where'er they be
They seem to see
a rifle held in Teddy's hand.
From Maggersdorp to Spion Kop
The jungle beasts are on the hop.
From ev'ry brush
They fear a rush
And 'spect to hear Ted's rifle pop.
From Hodderskrag to Kimberly
The jungle beasts are weak Of knee.
They haunt the shades
Within the glades
And wonder where can Teddy be.
