Tho Poor Hungry Fish.

"Here is an interesting thing that
happened last summer to friend and
myself" said a New Yorker. I'VE had
gone on a fishing trip in a rowboat
but it seemed that either all the fish
were at another place or were not hun
cry. We decided If those fish were
not hungry we were. We had taken
our luncheon, as wise fishermen will,
and in order to keep the bread as fresh
as possible had left 1t in loaf form.
My friend asked me to pass 1t to him,
and In doing so the loaf of bread went
overheard. We made out the best we
could without the bread and later row.
ed to another place to fish. On our
way back we passed the place where
we lost our bread. Then we saw the
sight Of our lives. On each side of the
loaf OF bread stood n big fish, and for
as far as we could see there was a
great line of small fish. We wondered
what 1t was. and then the thought
dawned on us-those fish had formed
a "bread line" and the two large fish
were dealing out the bread After that
we didn't have the heart to try to
catch any Of those poor, hungry fish"

A Bride With Some Good Points.

Some years ago In an agricultural
district IN England there lived a farm
er who wanted to sell one of his cows.
There was not at that time weekly
paper in which he could advertise, so
he resolved to follow a local custom
and ask the vicar of the parish when
giving out his notices at church to ad-
vertise the COW.
"Yes, farmer" said the vicar al
should be willing to oblige you. but
you don't attend my church."
Presently, however, they struck
bargain that the vicar should adver-
tlse the COW, and the man in return
promised TO go to church Now, un-
fortunately the man was deaf. and on
the Sunday following when the vicar
gave out the banns Of marriage be-
tween Joseph So-and-sO, bachelor, and
Sarah So-and-so, spinster, the farmer
took 1t for granted that the vicar was
giving out particulars of his COW and
shouted out:
You might as well say while you
are about 1t that she is most gentle
creature and entirely free from vice"

Thompson street.
The display Of fireworks will be one
feature OF the social. The place will
be suited for this, being upon high
ground and where all can see.
The young people are enthusiastic
in regard to this affair and will un-
doubtedly have a good time and make
an interesting display Of fireworks.
This organization is for the purpose
of helping all young people who come
to Pendleton. To give them good,
healthy social life, thus tending to
keep them away from other forms Of
life which are harmful. 1t is not de-

pices Of the NJ. +. church.

tainment were appointed last night for
the next social the first Friday In
July. That time will also be the

CAN'T SHOOT THE RAPIDS.
Spokane Police Refuse to Allow Lun-
attic TO Commit Suicide.

George A. Downing will not be al
Washington street bridge under any
consideration"
This was the statement of Chief of
Police Ren II. Rice when asked this
morning whether he would permit
Downing to make the attempt, says
the Spokane Chronicle.
There have been threats to shoot
the falls, the rapids, and both from
time to time in this city" said Chief
Rice, "and all manner of craft have
been suggested as the vehicle but for
some reason no one ever made the at
tempt. l regard the attempt as the
height of foolhardiness and will not
permit it under any consideration"
Downing is in the employ OF the
Dulmage- Rose Auto company, and
announced he would make the at
tempt to negotiate the rapids from
the Washington Water Power dam be-
low Post street, provided a purse of
$1,000 was raised to be given him pro-
vided he succeeded.
Downing is said to be an expert in
the canoe and to have worked on the
White Horse Rapids in the Yukon for
several years. 1t was his intention
to circulate a subscription list among
the business men to collect the $1,000,
but the attitude of Chief Rice will
probably prevent further plans for
the attempt

Where Red Hair Is Disliked,

In Cornwall, particularly the Lands
End district, It is not advisable to dub
a person "a red haired Dane" though
in most parts Of England, especially
inland, the expression would as likely
as not provoke no comment at all or be
regarded as simply frivolous.
At police court case heard in 1867
at Penzance town hall it came out In
evidence that the defendant had called
the complainant "a red haired Dane"
and this led to an assault. The strong
repugnance Of Cornishmen to be dubbed
by this strange appellation is as strong
as ever.
The Celtic nations hated the Danes
and were always fighting them. And
not only In Cornwall, but also all along
our coasts, where the Danes or Morse
men made their ravages, this deep
rooted prejudice against people with
red hair. "red headed" more or less
remains ingrained in the national char
acter.-J. Harris Stone in "The Eng
lish Illustrated"

Deputy Sheriff Larkfu Killed

Sunday forenoon Deputy Sheriff
Harris received dispatch from Sheriff
Lamb of Humboldt county stating that
one Of his deputies had been killed at
the Kings river ranch by Charley Barr,
and asking the sheriff's Office to do
everything possible to apprehend him
should he attempt to escape through
this county and asking that the As
ranch be closely watched as Barr work.
ed there during the summer
Deputy Harris called up the Spanish
Ranch as soon as possible and started
two vaqueros from there to the As ranch.
One of them has worked with Barr and
knows him well. They should reach
the ranch by noon today and will
capture Barr if he shows up there.
This morning a letter was received
from Sheath Lamb. which gives the fol-
lowing particulars of the murder:
A few. days ago Sheriff Lamb sent
William Larkin, special deputy, to
the Kings river ranch after Basque.
As Larkin was walking from the barn
TO the house. Barr stepped to the door
and shot him in the back Barr then
took the best saddle horse on the ranch
and made his escape
Barr is chased as a pal of Taylor, the
desperate, killed by Sheriff Lamb last
summer. He accused Larkin of work
ing against Taylor and had it in for
him. This being the first time Barr
had seen Larkin since Taylor was killed
he shot him on sight.
Barr has been working at the kings
river ranch about four months. He is
about 81 years of age feet 8 inches
tall and of light complexino. He is
said to be pretty tough citizen for so
young a man.
1t is to be hoped that he will be
captured and then speedily tried and
hung. The quicker such men as he are
put under the ground the better it will
be for society.

CRITICISM CAUSES STIR.
Cohalan Tries to Explain TRADE
AGAINST Cardinal Gibbons.

The republication in The Tribune yesterday
~ an editorial from 1.-The Gaelic American,
criticising Cardinal Gibbons for some recent ut
terances caused a stir in local Democratic cir
cles because Daniel F. Cohalan, chief adviser OF
Charles F. Murphy and grand sachem CT the
Tanmany Society. is president of the company
publishing the paper in question.
One of the paragraphs in the structure OF
Cardinal Gibbons read:
The gush that may be excusable in a cham
nasne prirned descendant of the Puritan at the
fable of Dives becomes a blasphemy when
spoken by an Irish-American prelate from a
Catholic pulpit to audience which is mainly
composed of 1rishmen
Mr. CohaIan said of the article in THE Gaelic
American:
That article as understand 1t, was written
by John Dewey and was intended TO call atten-
ton to an historical inaccuracy by Cardinal Glib
bons in some recent address in referring to the
first American bishop Englishman, when,
In fact he was a native OF Ireland"
Mr. Cohalan said that II was not intended as
an attack on Cardinal Gibbons 1t could not be
ascertained vino was mailing marked copies of
