A Quiet Rebuke.

An "object admonition' like the
one described by Warren Lee Goss in
his article. campaigning to No Pur-
pose," published in Johnson's "Bat-
ties and Leaders Of the Civil War. y
is often more effcacious than storms
of reproach.
One day the colonel of the regiment
noticed a soldier on parade wearing a
badly soiled pair Of gloves.
"Corporal, said the officer, "why
do YOU set the men such a bad exam
pie as appearing before them IN dirty
gloves? Why is it?"
"I've had no pay, sir, since | ell
tered the Service,' returned the cor
poral. "T can't afford to have them
done up
The colonel drew from his pocket
a pair Of gloves, spotless white. Hand
ing them to the corporal, he said
quietly: "Put these on. I washed
them myself.''
It was an unforgotten lesson to the
whole regiment.

An Oppressive Ointment.

A Baptist minister Of Kansas City
tells. this incident Of services which
he conducted in the court house OF
Stanley county, North Carolina, on
the occasion of visit several years
ago. "Uncle WASH Russell, whose
piety and faithfulness no one ever
questioned, was deacon in the
church and leader in the movement
to complete the partly finished
church building and stop holding
services in the county court room.
The minister called on Uncle Wash
to lead in prayer. What his prayer
lacked in elegance is made up with
fervency. In it, with the North Caro-
lima pronunciation, were these words:
80 thou exhaustible God! Ain It
this here visitin' brother with the
Isle of Patmos?"-Kansas City

Tit for Tat.

An Irishman was sitting in depot
smoking when a woman came and,
sitting down beside him, remarked:
"Sir, if you were a gentleman you
would not smoke here.'
"Mum,' he said: "If ye wuz a
lady ye'd sit farther away"
Pretty soon the woman burst out
again:
''If you were my husband I'd give
you poison.''

Without hesitation, or even giving
himself time to enter his own house,
; he set out again. Those who saw him
pass wondered what grave business
caused him, fatigued as he was, to 60
back hastily by the route he had just
come.
I When he had covered a quarter Of
the distance to George Andres house,
he questioned some people to know
! if they had seen the traveller. He was
told that George Andre had passed
some time before. Joy at his return
gave wings to the one, as to the other
did the thought Of preventing evil
crossing his path.
There was no doubt that Andre
had taken the road which would con-
duct him to the burned mill. By TAX
ing difficult and dangerous foot
path, however, the postman calculated
that he might still arrive at the mill
first. He still more hastened his steps
and reached the fatal spot when the
evening was somewhat advanced.
The place was propitiouS for an am
buScade. \ kind Of cuttin had been
o"ened between some rocks. and small,
buShy trees growing on each side
| formed 4 miniature avenue. The
clouds were passing quickly. and ev-
cry now and then covered the moon,
whose rays accentuated still more the
sinister character Of the landscape.
In the middle of the culvert he heard
footsteps. It was doubtless George
Andre a few yards ahead Of him. The
postman hastened to meet him, when
shot rang out, and he fell, struck
in the breast.
The assassin Immediately came out
of an adjacent thicket, but as he ap-
preached his victim to dispatch and
rob him, he found himself in the
presence Of new arrival, and his
disappointment found vent in an aw-
full curse as he recognized George
Andre.
The blade Of knife glittered in the
assassin's hand, but before he could
Use it he was felled to the ground by
vigorous blow from the newcomer.
At the same moment woman wild
with terror threw herself upon the
postman's body, crying:
"Unhappy woman that | am. |
saw it all! He has killed him.
! 1t was Madam Andre, who arrived
there just as the postman fell.
"Jane," said her husband, II am
not hurt.'
''Is it not you? Who, then, has
this wretch murdered?'
They stopped over the body, and
by a ray of moonlight which just
then appeared, they recognized the
postman's face.
The husband and wife carried him
to their house. where he lived for
twenty-four hours.
Before he died the couple learned
the story of his devotion to duty and
noble heroism.

Mr.. Editor: How Is It that Oregon
City has bridge across the william
ette, and has had Il for years? 1t is
also free" They had It when their
population did not exceed two thous-
and people. Is It not time for the
people of st. Johns and Linnton to
get together and see what can be
done in this respect? Now Is good
time to act, while the Legislature Is
in session. An appropriation would
be necessary. The whole west side
of the river on the hills will soon be
densely populated. They now have
an excellent car service to Portland.
A bridge across the river and a
street car line TO the packing plant
would be Of great value to st. Johns.
Such line would be well patronized
by St. Johns people on account of
quicker service. No high water
would ever put the bridge out of com
mission, and many business advan.
tages would be derived from II. The
bridge should be built about half way
between Linnton and st. Johns.
