PRETTY THIN.

The tail-of-the-season reform that
swept over Coney Island might we'll
have considered the welfare of the
wretched horses which are used for
the "dime-ride" business. When the
season closes they are auctioned off,
and are knocked down to the bidders
at next to nothing. Generally they
are so skeleton-like that they are
practically useless.
At the end of this season a buyer
bought an exceptionally attenuated
specimen after he had been coaxed
to bid on him by numerous promises
made by the auctioneer, who wound
up by saying:
Now, look a-here, boss, if you buy
this hawse an you amt pleased with
the animile. you just bring him back
and get your money-see?"
Yes" retorted the buyer: "but this
is the last day of the sale, and the
beast is so blamed thin he may die on
my hands. Then, supposing 1 did
bring him back, you probably would
not be here to receive him.
"Oh, WE'LL" blandly replied the
auctioneer, "if you do bring him back
and we amt here. you kin just shove
it under the door."-January Lippin-

PILING IT ON THICK.

He had been on a hunting expe-
dition for several days in the back
woods, roughing it rather severely,
and on taking a seat in railway car
riage returning homeward he looked
as begrimed and weatherbeaten a
trapper as ever brought his skins In
to settlement.
He happened to find seat next to
a young lady-evidently belonging to
Boston-who. after taking stock Of
him for a few minutes, remarked:
Don't you find an utterly passion
full sympathy with natures most in
carnate aspirations among the sky

"THE OREGON PLAN"

Much has been said against the So
called Oregon Plan" The critics
. of direct legislation and all it implies,
consisting for the most part of ma
chine politicians and ringsters who
have been driven to the tall timber,
have called her "the fool Of the fam
fly" A recent eastern visitor, a col
lege professor noted for his theoretical
knowledge of government, has made
sarcastic remarks concerning the
Oregon way Of doing things political.
But despite these criticisms it is a sig
nificant fact that a great majority of
the twenty-seven governors who sent
messages to the legislatures of their
states during the past week recon-
mended the adoption Of such salient
features of the "Oregon Plan" as the
initiative and referendum and the d.
rect election Of United States senators.
The same reports have come from
the far east and the middle west that
have emanated from the far West
In far-off Massachusetts, Governor
Foss goes even further and recon-
mends the adoption of portions OF
oregon's corrupt practices act.

A REASONABLE REQUEST.

Now that Nat Goodwin's fifth con-
secutive wife, Edna Goodrich, has
tired of his double chin and other &C.
centricities, the veteran actor is likely
to come in for a liberal fund of good
natured joshing from his stage friends.
Willie Collier, the comedian, met
Goodwin a day or So after he had
married Edna Goodrich. Collier was
just coming away from the Lambs
club in New York and Goodwin was
just going there.
Hello, Nat. exclaimed Collier, with
friendly clap on the shoulder.
Same to you, WILLIE" was Mats re-
sponse.
whats the rumor I hear that you
have just been married again?" asked
Collier
Goodwin acknowledged the truth of
the rumor.
Say, Nat" broke in Collier with
effusive cordiality, why can't you in
vite me to one Of your weddings some
time?"

HIS CHOICE.

"One of your countrymen," said
Miss Ellen Terry at a luncheon in
New York, spoke very bitterly the
other day about the divorce habit am
ong the rich. He said that some chill
dren in Newport have five and six
fathers. He was right. A child with
five fathers is unfortunate"
Miss Terry smiled
But these children" she said ito
whom the gentleman referred, do not
realize their misfortune while they
are children, for they see very little
OF their fashionable mothers and
fathers. 1 heard a story about a lone
ly little Newport boy whose mother
called him to her and said:
" Robert, your father and are 60

do you wish to remain?'
THE boy hesitated, his mother
waited anxiously and then he replied:

THE WOMEN OF BRITTANY.

To the casual observer the Bre-
tonne is not attractive or even su-
premely interesting. AS a femme de
chambre she is clumsy, slovenly and
rough Of speech, lacking the graces
and neatness Of her Partisan sister.
She shuffles about in felt slippers,
her voluminous black skirts catch in
everything, and il she waits at the
table d'hote her methods of handling
cutlery is strongly calculated to sever
ones juglar vein. She has no regu-
larity in her work, and at the hour
that she ought to be making beds she
is probably sitting on the public stair
case nursing her baby. She is gen.
orally married and, conversely, often
ten years younger than you take her
to be. To English eyes she is rarely
beautiful. Her hair Is strained tickh-
ly under her cap, her cheeks have
seldom any delicacy Of tint, and her
figure and motions are ungainly and
awkward.-January Wide World.

S.S.S.
PURELY VEGETABLE
The ONE SAFE BLOOD REMEDY

1t is a generally recognized fact
that medicines taken from the botan-
ical kingdom are better adapted to
the delicate human system, and safer
in every way than those composed Of
strong mineral mixtures. Among
the very best and safest OF vegetable
preparations is S. S. S., blood med
cine made entirely of roots, herbs and
barks, in such combination as to
make it the greatest of all blood puri-
fiers and the finest of all tonics.
s. S. S. does not contain the least
particle of mineral in any form, and
is an absolutely safe medicine for any
one to use. While purifying the
blood, this great vegetable remedy
builds up every portion of the system.
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh,
Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases,
Scrofula, Constitutional Blood Dis
eases, and all impurities and morbid
conditions of the circulation. 1t is
perfectly reliable and safe for children;
and little ones who have been weak
ened with scrofulous affections or
other inherited blood troubles, can
take this mild vegetable remedy with
good results and without the slightest
danger. S.S.S. is unequalled as a
tonic; it invigorates every portion Of
the system, and the healthy blood it
creates largely assists in overcoming
any arrangement Of the stomach
and digestive system. If you need a
blood medicine you could do no better
than to take S. s. S. It has been in
use for more than forty years and Is
still recognized as the best. Book on
the blood free to all who write.

A JUST NEED.

1t is stated authoritatively that the
University of Oregon intends to ask
for another increase in appropriation
at the session of the legislature which
will be convened Monday. When it
Is remembered what a hard fight was
necessary under the referendum to
secure the last increase, there are
some who will judge this further at
tempt to be i'll advised. But when it
is taken into consideration that the
state university has almost double
the enrolment it had when the me-
morable fight was made; that every
building is crowded to capacity; that
the entire s125,OO0 is inadequate for
maintainance purposes and therefore
affords no margin for the construc-
ton of new buildings which are sore
ly needed; that the present appro-
priation is less than one-half the am
cunt used by the University Of WASH
ington for maintenance alone and
less than one-fourth the amount used
by the University of California; when
all of these facts are considered, 1t
will be seen that there is justice in
the request of the institution for more
funds. Oregon has long been mig
gardly in her support of schools and
it is time she placed herself on record
as favoring and encouraging higher
education.
