When &. w Hodson stated that
he would not vote for any man who
signed Statement No. I, he showed
that he was honest, and that he is
not going to do that which would
require him to vote for Democrat
for United States Senator. His
objections to Statement No. are
legitimate and merits the considerat.
ion of every Republican in the State
of Oregon. Now is the time to put
n stop to his business. John Shat
tuck Oregonian.
We thought most intelligent men
had outgrown the idea that a man
simply because he was a candidate
of his party must be voted for by
every member of that party. This
is oae OF the most pernicious prin.
ciples ever advocated by any politi.
cal party and is responsible for more
rottenness in politics than any other.
Statement No. is wise measure
and the man who wonld break il is
either political fraud or as many
times a blinkety-blank fool as lIcinlz
makes pickles.

CODY. How much meaning it conveys
in some lands of the east is told in the
pages of "In Moorish Captivity"
The pious proviso is a very useful
formula to the Moors and Is frequently
used in making promises that they
have no intention whatever of keeping,
as they can then take refuge behind
the Almighty when they are taxed
with their breach Of faith.
There is story told Of man who
kept shop in Gibraltar and who
knew the ways Of the Moor. To him
one day came one of the faithful, who
was DESTROYS of buying some cloth.
On being informed that the price was
50 yard, payment in sixty days be
replied:
"All right I will take so much and
will pay you in sixty days, Inshallah."
NO" said the vender, "the price is
50, payment in sixty days. For sixty
days, Inshallah, the price is $3.50"

An Unsecured Loan.

Though pawnbrokers are not sup.
posed to have any friends, only custom
ers, there Is story that is told in New
York that shows that they sometimes
stretch their rules-if the right man
comes along. A certain racing man
had been having very hard streak of
luck. If there were twenty -one horses
in the race, his choice would never be
better than No. 20. Finally his money
was all gone; also all Of his negotiable
property. When he had spent his last
dollar for breakfast, he turned into the
pawnshop where all his valuables were
being cared for. and they amounted to
considerable.
I'D like to have $500 on this" he
said to the proprietor, laying down an
ordinary lead pencil on the counter.
Without change Of countenance, tho
pawnbroker made out a ticket and
passed the money over the counter.
Right there the racing mans for
tunes seemed to change. Every one Of
his selections proved an easy winner,
and, as he pushed his luck. he was
able at the end Of the week to redeem
his pencil and all his other valuableS

In Case Of Accident.

Don't buster. Be tactful. If there
are dangerous germs present, ask them
to withdraw. If they demur, ask them
where they were brought up with gen
tie irony.
Be careful to render first aid to the
injured. A great deal of unnecessary
suffering has been caused by persons
hastily rendering third or even fourth
aid where first aid was indicated.
In case of drowning select best
method Of resuscitation. There are
4,639 best methods in all. Have them
about you in the form of loose news
paper clippings and run them over
briefly before acting
Keep cool. Stop every little while
and take your temperature.
If the coroner arrives while you arc
at work, Immediately desist. 1t is dis
courteous to save life In his presence.
Take accurate notes of the street and
number. Reviving patients almost al
ways ask where they are.
If possible, induce death to super
vene rather than to take place merely
or even to ensue. It gives the family
q sense Of dignity.-Puck.

Prof. H. A. Howell, of Howell's Amer

breathing was difficult. l did not
