Had the Effect.

"Yes." she said in answer to some. thing he had said, "the old songs arc very beautiful.
 "Beautiful" he exclaimed entpus1' astically. Beautiful hardly describes them. They are-they are-well. com pared with them the songs of today are trash, the veriest trash"
 II agree with you. yet the old songs sometimes contain sentiments that one cannot wholly approve"
 .I think you are mistaken
 II will give you an illustration. There is John Howard Payne's Home. Sweet Home.' for instance. You surely do not agree with all the sentiments 1t con- tains?"
 "N,hy not?" he asked warmly. "Why not?''
 Because" she said. glancing at tue clock, which was marking the hour Of l1-"because there is line In that song which says There's no place Like home You do not believe that, do you?'
 Then he coughed hollow cough and arose and went silently out into the night.

"Great Expectations"

Charles Green. one, of Dickens H. lustrators, had two models. one of whom was a likable fellow. while the other. Gregory by name. was greedy. self seeking character. always think ing of himself and his perquisites.
 When Green was on his deathbed Gregory was very officious. and one day Green. noticing this. said to him:
 .'Oh. haven't forgotten you. Greg ory: got you down in my will.'
 At the funeral Gregory invested in a wreath and duly attended to hear the will read.
 Green had kept his word. and the model was not forgotten.

What Wearied Him.

A friend once asked an aged man what caused him to complain so orten at eventide of pain and weariness Alas" replied he, Il have every day so much to do. I have two falcons to tame, two hares to keep from running away, two hawks to manage. ser, bent to confine, lion to chain ana sick man to tend and wait upon"
 Well, well," commented his friend. "you are busy indeed! But l didn't kpow that you had anything to do with a menagerie. How. then. do you make that out?'
 Why" continued the old man. "lls' tnn. Two falcons are my eyes. whlcD must guard diligently: the two hares are my feet which 1 must keep from walking ill the ways of sin; the two hawks are my hands. which l must train to work. that may provide TOT myself and those dependent on me as we,! as fer needy friend occasionally: tGp serpent is my tongue, which must keep oyer bridled lest i. speak un- seer.iv; the lion is my Eaart. Wlta which l have continE'!t tight lest pvi things come out of it, and the SICK man is my whole body. which IS al. ways needing my watchfulness and care. All this daily wears out my strength"

TESTING FIRE CLAY.
The Most Practical Method Is to Lit.
 orally Eat 1t.


 eraliy Eat 1t.
 Fire clay has been in use for cen turics, and yet 1 believe the industry Is one which lacks definite laws more than any other, including those which are either modern or ancient and of less prominence. You can go to a manufacturer of steel and specify what you want by actual figures or statements and you can check the prod uct by chemical analysis or mec chanical tests and thus make sure you get what you need. The producer knows how to combine certain elements and what quantities of various kinds to comb.ne in order 10 get a result at least very closely approaching what you call for, but not so In the fire clay business In the past the most skilled and highest salaried chemists have been employed to make tests, to promote and carry through Investigations on the natural product and to study the workings of certain manufactured and elaborated articles derived therefrom. The result has been. generally speaking. confusion worse confounded Two professors, working at similar times on brick UT clay obtained from the same source and manufactured under exactly equal conditions. have recorded diametrically opposed conclusions! The same scien- lists at different periods have reached vastly varying conclusions when test ing identical qualities and shapes of bricks, so can you wonder if promi- nent fire clay manufacturer should ex- claim. as heard one on an occasion after having the above experience. "All tests of fire clay are empirical, and would sooner trust our superintend- ent to pick and select his clays in the old fashioned way than pay a high fee for highbrows recommendations" The chief method of testing fire clay by a practical man Is literally to eat it. He can detect grit and sand best by that method, and good fire clay (free from silica. quartzite or flint clay) is free from grit. His only other personal test is by eHperiment.-En- gineering Magazine.

A CHINESE BANQUET.
Culinary Mysteries That 6ewiIdered
 an Enqlishwoman.

an EnqIishwoman.
 One moment we were eating ducks eggs whose blackened. lime favored whites indicated that their age was unimpeach chable; the next we were crap bling with sea weeds, macaroni and the slippery sharks fins that eluded our clumsily manipulated sticks. Now we tackled-not without fear-un- known meats and vegetables cooked in sugar, fresh shrimps, mushrooms from Mongolia, young bamboo sprouts, pi- geons' eggs and hundred different foreign tasting messes. Then clean plates were given to us, and bowls of sickly pink sirup, sweet potato and Indian corn cakes of dusky hue were set before each one. These were only crevice fillers and concluded the first and lighter portion of the repast. Now came the real substantial meal, where in every dish had an accompaniment ot smaller ones, containing gravies, etc, in which to dip the morsel taken from the central bowl.
 AClc was olCW C0 0UCh SOOhCO WILT out salt, roast sucking pig, forcemeat balls and chicken; there were soups of birds nest, of mushroom, of vegetables and of sea slugs. There was grilled fresh water fish, which, according to custom, was helped from the top side only. for the Chinese remembers his servant. And, finally, at the conclu- sion the inevitable small bowl of rice and rice water was set before each person.
 After some three hours, with a feel ing of thankfulness that all was over, pipes. cigarettes and tea were served, and it seemed to me that the delicious aroma which rose from the latter soothed our senses and almost dis pelled the antipathy that had been growing on us for all things Chinese.- Mary Moore in London Express.

kisaina In Iceland.

Among old time laws against kissing those of Iceland appear to have been the most severe. Punishment was the penalty laid down for kissing another mans wife, either with or without her consent. The same punishment was enforced for kissing an unmarried wo- man against her will; if 1t could be proved that she had consented to be kissed the offender was still liable to a fine of a great quantity of cloth for each offense.

Wenatchee, Wash, Feb. 10, 1910.
To the Investing Public:
I arrived in Wenatchee June -,
1903, from Augusta, Woods county,
Okla The people were all strang-
ers to me, and the country new and
very different from what l was used
to in Oklahoma, which was a stock
country, while this was a fruit coun-
try.
On my arrival here l had a family
of ten and $12 in money, and went
to living in two tents. The fruit
growers gave us employment at good
wares and paid us the cash. Within
sixty days I purchased ten acres of
land, six acres of which was set to
young trees / did not pay dollar
down, but promised to pay $4,000,
which l did, and I met my payments
easy.
The cut herewith shows my pres
ent home. We now have eleven in
gious diseases we have been very
healthy. We are all satisfied, and
I do not know of a place on the
earth where we could have done bet
ter.
While waiting for my young trees
to come into bearing / have been en-
-, lot ht1ci
and am now the senior member of
the Red Apple Real Estate Company,
live on the Red Apple Rarm, and
have a large Red Apple on the top
of my house, which fronts on Red
Apple Road.
At my Office in room of the Hal
bert Block, we have nice display
of Wenatchee Valley apples, for the
benefit of those who have not had
the privilege of seeing the apples
growing on the trees.
To those who wish to invest in
city property or irrigated fruit land,
we should be very glad to have you
call on us. You are always welcome,
and we will do all we can to help
you get a home or make an invest
ment If you are a nonresident,
write us and we will be very glad to
give you all the information pos
sible
Yours truly,
A. J. LINVILLE.

Heppner gazette. [volume] (Heppner, Morrow County, Or.) 1892-1912, 1910-10-20

AT spare time and principally
Tor amusement, Eugene Noble, oI
this city, from his residence loI
comprising one acre of ground has
this year sold poultry and garden
vegetables to the amount Of $2l7,
not counting what was given away,
or the amount that WAS consumed
for family use. In doing this Mr..
Noble has sacrificed very little
time that belongs to his business
every day. This is very strong ar
gument in favor Of more intensi-
fed farming methods in Morrow
county. Smaller farms and better
cultivation would make a great
change from present conditions.
The Willow creek valley alone is
able to comfortably support more
people than we have in the entire
county at the present time.
