THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

Take me back to Peaceful Valley
To the good old handset' day,
When we juggled with the galley
In the good old-fashioned way,
Where the editor and devil
Snapped tobacco to and fro,
And they all were on level,
And were comrades, don't you know
All your higl-falutin' presses,
And your linotypes and such,
And your new attractive dresses"
Don't amount to very much
To a feller educated
Mid the romance OF dav
When the paper was created
In the good old " handset' way.
When a tightin' man meandered
In to clean up on the shop,
Maxim claims that he'd been slandered
And we never called cop;
When the boys would all unlimber
Mallet, wrench and shootin' stick,
And would chase him to the timber,
AT al pace that made him sick.
When We always had column
Of obituary stuff
That WAS full of rhyme so solemn
1t was plenty good enough
For each old delinquent brother
AS he saw fit for To die.
No use settin' mp another,
So we used the old standby.
When the extra" quick edition
Was thing We never knew
Under any old condition,
And the heads were mighty few.
With no hurry and no hustle,
Till it came to Friday night,
When we'd all turn in and hustle
Some to get the sheet out right.
What a wealth "f v"IIi. ambition,
When we got our first real place,
\ most gloriiled position
That ii workin' at the case.
There is where we got our knowledge,
In the good old-fashioned way.
Didn't have To 90 to college
In the good old "handset" day.

Misses a Chance to Miss Anything.
You'd better keep on the right side
of the telephone girl, for she sits in
her chair and listens to the voices
from everywhere. She hears all the
gossip, she hears all the news. she
knows who is happy, and who has the
blues; she knows all our sorrows. she
knows all our joys, she knows all the
girls who are chasing the boys; she
knows all our troubles, she knows of
our strife; she knows every man who
is mean to his wife, she knows every
time we are out with the boys. she
hears all the excuses each fellow en-
ploys; she knows every woman who
has had q dark past, she knows every
man who is inclined to be fast: in fact
there's secret meath each Saucy curl
of that quite, deInure looking tele-
phone girl.
If the telephone girl would tell all
that she knows, it would turn half of
our friends into bittereSt foes; she
would SOW u small wind that would
soon become gale; engulf us in trou-
bic, and land us in Jail; she would let
the story, (Which gaining in force),
would cause half our wives to sue
for divorce; she could get all the
churches mixed up in 4 fight, and
turn all ourdays into sorrowing night
in fact she could keep the whole town
in stew. il she'd tell the tenth part
of the things that she knew. Now
doesn't it make your head take 4
whirl when you think what you owe

THE osTEoPATHIc PRIMER.
What a "Lesion" ia.

Growing out of this common sense
reasoning, osteopaths have come to
adopt the technical term "lesion" as
representing any departure from the
normal of the body's tissues. That
Issue or part of the human machine
which is out of its natural position
and relationship constitutes "le-
sion."
Ordinarily 1t refers to disordered
iocality in the body. yet as bad
habits or even improper mental
states may likewise cause sickness.
in broader sense the term Isl al
so used by osteopaths to mean the
rirst cause, the starting point, OF a
,hain of disordered functions.
All diseased states may be defined
in simple terms such as disturbances
Of the bony framework OF the body,
Dr. disturbance Of the nerve supply
# the parts affected, or a distur-
,ance to the b.ood supply Of some
ocalNy, or an abuse OF Junction
ing, or improper mental activity or
Dad sanitation and hygiene-which
after promptly comes back to mean
some abuse of function. These are
he slmples which underlie dtesase.
he termination and correction Of
which spell cure
Nature wants us each to have
good health, is trying to give it to
rs all the time. Some of these er-
.ors come about and interfere with
Natures plans. The osteopathic way
Is 10 find out what has gone awry
in the machine andcorrect 1t. Ma
ture does the rest.
0steopathy Is the only system Of
therapeutics which pays attention to
he diagnosis of hidden LESSONS. 1t
IS the only system which corrects
such LESSONS and thereby puts the
human machine In good mechanical
order -Osteopathic Health.

$4,000 POUNDS OF
WALLOWA PORK
FAT ANIMALS FIT FOR STOCK

448 head in total. They weighed an
a. erage of 25O pounds each, making
a total shipping wgeiht of $4,000
pounds.
From North Country.
The porkers came from the north
precincts OF the county-from up
around Flora and that neighbor-
hood, where they raise corn as well
as the smaller grains, and fatten
hogs easily. Where wide range is
at hand and the development of the
great American pig is assisted by all
nature
There was just one distinguishing
fact about these hogs: They were
all fat. There were no scrubs"
among them. They had hams that
seemed to run entirely to the feet
and jowls that were the prototype
of plenty. And they brought a top
lotch price in the market.
MIR. c. F. Walker purchased the
shipment of Hotchkiss & CoDbes.
All the hogs, it is understood, came
from the following persons, up in
and about Flora: Cole brothers, w.
