are many. The one great point VIII
be to stir MP that enthusiasm 10 the
goat industry that will bring many
nne Angoras to the Rogue River

Pierce, q very successful and eIper'
fenced Angora breeder, What we
want is the best; poor ones don't
count, will be realized.
"In the Rogue River Valley at this
time there are about so Angors goats
in flocks ranging in numbers from oo
TO 500 head. Angoras do extremely
we'll in Southern Orfgon, the climate
being ideal both for the goat and also
for the growth Of the finest mohair
shipped 10 the United Stats. Nj.
Pierce has letter on file stating facts
to the above effect. which was writ
ten to him by an expert on mohair.
IL is not to be doubted that, in a
very few years, Rogue River valley
will be one Of the most famous dis
tricts on account Of the quantity ana
quality of mobsir shipped.
''It is desired by the charter mem
bers of the association that every
Angora goat breeder Of Southern Ore
gon become member of the sssocia-
tion and thereby support the Angora
industry of Rogue River valley. Not
only the breeders but those interested
in the growth and development OF the

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

George Washington was born Feb.
%, 1872, in Virginia. He has been
truly called the Father of His Coun-
try. In 1855 he was sent by his gov
ernor to build fort, which he did,
and defeated a large army of French
and Indians, but later he was obliged
to return to his native state after a
number Of his men had been killed.
Washmgtpn vas appointed com.
man6er IN chief Of tho American
army In May, 1775, which osition. he
held until the close Of the revolution.
and until he resigned on Dec. %, 1888,
having served as commander in chief
eight years.
He was elected president April 6,
1898. Having served eight years he
declined another term. The presidents
salary was fixed by congress at $685.
900, which continued to be the salary
until about 1858 to 1862 Washington
died Dec. IA, 1899. His death was
the result of a severe cold contracted
while riding around his farm in rain
and sleet storm. The cold increased
and was followed by chill which
brought on rheumatism. Thus ended
the life of one Of the greatest men
that ever lived, and will be remember
ed as long as time continues to be.

"THE CRAZY ENGINEER"

My train left Dantzer about eight
O'Clock in the morning. We had to
wait once week for steamer from
Stockholm. 1t happened one morning
when the engineer was too i'll to run
his engine. The steamer was soon
heard coming up the river, the passen-
gers flocking to the train. "Why don't
we go asked fat Swede." At that
moment I felt touch at my elbow.
turned and saw a tall person about
middle aged looking at me. 81 under
stand you want an engineer" he
said. "If you wish I will run as far
as Bromberg"
Are you an engineer?" | asked.
Yes, one of the Oldest in the coun-
try" at once accepted his offer. He
backed down to the baggage coach
with good care. We were soon on
our way and the train was going
along at a great rate of speed when
a guard asked me who had on the

A DUCKS PUNISHMENT.

My chicks, said the hen to her chill
dren one day, you know this is the
time for nuts as it was in the fall. II
you will be good will let you go to
the mountains today. Oh let's do, Wen
have very happy time, said the
chicks. So off they started for the
mountains. l do not know whether
they ate too much or if they were very
tired, but they they could not walk
home. They made little carriage Of
the nut shells. The old hen got in It
and wanted the chicks to pull her but
they would not do so. We would
rather walk home then pull you, said
the chicks. They were still quarreling
When duck came by and said, What
You go away from here or you'll ge.
the worst Of fight So the old hen
would not take that and she flew at
the duck and they made her pull the
carriage. They met needle and pin
on their way and let them ride too,
When they reached the inn the land
lord made many excuses but the hen
got the best of him and she said he
could have all the eggs that she and
the hen might lay. So he let them
stay. They was glad to get to rest.
The next morning they got up before
any one in the house. The hen saw
the egg she had laid and they ate II,
and threw the shell in the fire place.
They took the needle and pin and put
the needle in the landlords arm chair
and the pin in his towel The land
lord came in the room to wash and
the pin made long scratch on his
face How it hurt. Then he went to
light his pipe and the egg shell flew in
his face and hurt it, He then went to
sit down in his chair and he got up
quicker than anything. He thought
his guests that came late that night
might have done it and he went to
look for them and they were gone.

LAURA TELLS OF HER CANADA
TRIP.

Dear Papa and Mamma:
I will tell you about my trip to Can
ada. stood the trip very well and
enjoyed it too. I had fine time In
Fairfield and Brighton. We left Fair.
field Thursday morning at q: 55 O'Clock
on a slow train and got to Columbus
Junction about o'clock, changed
cars there and got a through train to
ST. Paul 1t was splitting snow when
we left Columbus Junction. l never
saw such bluffs as I did in Minnesota.
We got to ST. Paul at 1870 o'clock.
The depot there is Just grand. We
left there at o'clock, so we had no
time to spend foolishly. We got a
sleeper from there to Winnipeg. 1t
cost us s1.5O, but was worth it, for
sltpe all night long. We got into Win
nipeg about Z o'clock. The depot
there is the finest I ever saw. It is
much nicer than the one in st. Paul,
but thought 1t swell. Winnipeg is a
beautiful city. We took local from
Winnipeg to Elm Creek and got there
about II O'Clock. The water here
tastes like salts, but is 80 healthy. If
you say good morning to Canuck
they say mot 50 bad" went to Can
ada with my brosherin-law.
Yours truly,

They first cut cash in the tree and
let the sap drip out. 1t is something
like milk. They let it get hard and
then it is rubber.
They catch fish and dry them. In
the morning they go out to river
nearby and take bath. Sometimes
the men paint their faces with red and
yellow spots.
The men part their hair in the mid
die and have long braid down the
back. They wear combs. The women
hardly ever part their hair And in
stead of rings in their ears they have
piece Of grass with a feather. They
wear very little clothing.
Their houses are made of logs and
poles for the roof. They have no doors
but mats. They sleep in hammocks
out doors made by twisting leaves

AN EASTER SUNDAY.

Edith and Mary lived on a farm.
They were small and believed in
Easter rabbit, the same as other little
children do. The night before Easter
they went to bed happy, talking about
what they were soino' to do tomorrow.
That night their mother was very
busy coloring eggs.
The next morning when Mary and
Edith got up, they came down stairs
and found the table all set There was
bowl full of boiled eggs on
the table, and the whole breakfas.
ready and chairs up to the table.
After breakfast they went out t.
hunt eggs. First Mary found an egg
all colored blue. Soon Edith found a
red egg. Not before long they wers
both coming up to the house as happy
as any little children could be.
All this time their mother was busy
hiding candy eggs in the sitting room.
Edith found a whole nest of eggs In
rocking chair. Then Marry found
some in a drawer. Soon both of them

black stripes. L sat in it until my
brother Harold was two years old,
then / let him sit in it. BY that time
it began to get quite wobbly in the
legs "from old age Iexpect," and one
day it broke down, and my Grandpa
Scannell took an old chair and hxed
1t as good as new.
Than my little sister Ellen used It
until it broke down again. And mann
ma carried 1t out to the smoke house,
and there it lays. Papa says some
day he will fix it. Then mamma win
paint it up. I have another little sis
ter now and 1t would be nice for her.
It makes me feel sad to look at it.
This is true story. My grandma is
living yet and is rs years old.
