With a Copy of Keats.

Like listless lullabies of twilight seas .
Heard from still coves, and soft and sad
as these
Such is the echo of his perfect song
1t lives, it fingers long!
Beside his fame Hyperion's lustre pales,
SWeeter his own song than his nightln-
gales;
No voice speaks, in the century that has
fled,
So deafness from the dead!
How many stately epics have been tossed
Rudely against Times shore and wreck'd
and lost,
While Keats, the dreaming boy. floats
down Times sea
His lyric argosy!

NEARLY A FATAL ACCIDENT
George DeCows Good LICK
Stays With Him.

Tuesday of last week George- De-
Cow left home intending TO be away
for some three days, he was driving
his bay carriage team, and while on
the Moses Black, land south. of
Meade, one of the horses tangled in
piece Of loose wire lying on the,
ground. One of the horses -sprang
forward and the. other drew back,
the result being that the check
buckle was drawn through the tur-
rent ring and became fixed so that
1t could not be drawn back. The
team started to run and with only
one line could not be controlled, and
began to run in circle.
George jumped from the carriage
to grasp them by the head, in so
doing he also got mixed up with the
wire and while going at high speed,
was thrown forward several feet
striking On his right shoulder strain
ing it as well as sustaining several
bruises on the shoulder and arm.
He was slightly cut on the leg by
the wire. He held the one line so
tightly that it broke and the team
was free.
One ran faster than the other and
after circuling around the large en-
closure some time ran into the cor
ner where two lines of fence met and
stopped. Some men blowing near
under the creek buff did not see the
runaway but went about SO yards
and found the team standing in the
corner uninjured, and carriage un-
hurt.

What is Pendleton going to do in
the matter of offering normal in
struction during the next two years?
This Is question that is now agitating
the minds of school authorities and
1t is one that will come up for de-
cision soon.
Ever since the legislature failed to.
provide for the state normals for the
coming two years the subject of a
normal course for this city has been.
under consideration. The question of
establishing such course is being
considered by both the public school
board and by the trustees of the PEN
dleton academy.
Ihough no active steps have vet
peen taken by the academy people II
IS known that the board would like.
greatly to establish a good normal
course in that school. The question,
OF raising an endofnment for the
school is under consideration and the
movement promises to show much
strength. Influential local people ara
interested In the matter and they ex-
press the belief that a 800. 600 en-
doWment can be secured. But IN IN
this time the plans have not been
worked out and pending their COM

action, though they intimate thew will
