Letha Marie OdOm.
She is dead! No sleep so beautiful
and calm,
So free from trace of pain,
So fair to look upon,
Shall we behold again.
She seemed a creature fresh from
God;
Waiting for life's breath,
Not one who on earth had trod,
For fifteen years and suffered death.
Not as a child shall we again behold
her,
When with raptures wild,
In our embrace we again enfold her,
She will not be child.
But a fair maiden in her fathers
mansion,
Clothed with celestial grace,
Beautiful with all the souls expan-
sion,
Oudll we USllOlu uSl lave.
In that great cloister's stiffness and
seclusion
BY guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation and sins pol
luton,
She lives! whom we call dead.
She is not dead-daughter Of our
affection
But living two years in heavens
school,
Far beyond our poor protection,
Where Christ himself doth rule.
LOVING MAMA.

GIFT FROM JOHN TEAL
Folk County Trout on Exhibition az
State House.

People working in the eanitol tbese
uays are casting longing and yearnine
iooks toward the master fish warden's
oilce and, If the call Of the wild gets
a little too strongly. slyly slip in there
ana enjoy to the full gazing upon five
oi the prettiest brook and rainbow
trout as ever mortals have seen in any
stream that gets its waters from the
SHOWS OF the eraggy Cascades.
Ihe trout are a recent addition to
'he governors family and have consid-
apiy frightened the atmosphere of the
state house. No doubt many a one,
rom the governors private secretary
uoWh to the news gathers who haunt
the house with the big black dome on
EAST state street and worry the officials
there Tor news, has felt a tug in his or
her breast and wished they could have
those fish out in some wild mountain
iastness and put them sizzling over a
campfire on an old-fasioned skillet.
Anyhow, to look at them calls up
memories of long-forgotten trout that
looked pretty well and tasted a mighty
sight better. But the fish kept in a
fresh water tank in the fish warden's
Office are too beautiful to eat and one
gets more pleasure out of contemplate
Ing their beauty, their fine coloring
than in wising to- see them sizzle in a
frying pan.
Coming from the private hatchery
of j. B. Teal, of Falls City, who raises
them in a pond for his own pleasure
and enjoyment the trout are fine spec
linens of the finny tribe. There are five
in all, four brook trout and one rain
bow. The latter is the prettiest of all,
his coloring being exceptionally brill
ant. Besides he seems to be more
spirited than the others and has been
quite restless since being made a cap
tive in such a strange pace. The other
trout were also restless for a time, but
soon quleted down and now seem to be
enjoying themselves as good, respect
able fish ought to- If all fish worried as
the rainbow trout does, what a stew
the master fish warden would be in all
the time
The biggest of the brook trout meas
ures about two feet from tip to tip and
is a beauty as it swims gracefully
back and forth, needing little the gaze
of the curious. The rainbow will meas
ure about fourteen inches. The other
three vary in size. All have the intens-
est black eyes.-Salem Statesman.

.ontatiyes several weeks ago. was
ssomptly reported. to the Senate and
10 on the Senate calendar for two
.ueeks before 1t was called up by Sem
a4or Chamberlain yesterday and pass
"a saturday the bill was engrossed,
a,oned by the Speaker of the House
III Vice President Sherman, and was
aid before the President when he
oome to the Capitol Saturday night.
As the bill relates to affairs of the
,nterior Department, the President re-
ferred it to Secretary Ballinger, who
yas present, and he advised against
ne approval, contending 1t would le-
galize titles that might better be hand
,ad in the regular way by the Interior
recruitment on this advice President
Taft declined to sign the bill.
representative Hawley is deeply
aisanpointed at the failure of this bill
for he devoted a vast amount of time
securing its passage through the House
and regarded it as measure intended
TO grant relief to persons who have
honestly striven to acquire title under
adverse circumstances.
AS the Interior Department prob
ably will pass upon all entries that
would be affected by the Hawley bill
before Congress reconvenes in Decem-
her. probably no further attempt will
be made to legislate along this line.
Had this particular bill been
promptly passed through the Senate
when reported, however, Hawley
would have had an opportunity to ex-
plain its provisions to the President,
and he feels that under those circum-
stances Taft would have acted favor
ably.
Saturday night, with great mass
of bills to sign, the President had no
opportunity to discuss any one in de-
tail.
