guilty of disobeying the law, but they
were ignorant of it, and no prosecution

show the injustice of some measures.
1t would seem that the railroads ought
to be compelled to honor those tick
cts. They were paid for, for round
trip, and when their holders fail to use
them on the return journey, the rail-
road is getting something for nothing,
in other words, it has fulfilled only
oue-half of it's contract. 1t agrees

in Poseyville, Ind, to Portland and

pays the amount and departs on his

just the amount of expense it requires
to haul Jones back to his Indiana
home Railroading may be different
from other businesses, and one often
has reason to believe that this is true,
but there is no justice in permitting
the carriers to dodge their contract.

A terrible state of affairs was that
disclosed by the last report OF the
county assessor, in which he shows
that there has been a startling de-
crease in the number of dogs in this
county during the past year. This is
something that should be Investigated.
Is it possible that we are drifting to a
"dogless age?" Will the time come
when the gladstone bark of the plenti-
full pup will be hushed and the cute
antics of Fido but a lingering mem
ory? Perish the thought.
Where are the pups of yesteryear?
The pups we used to know,
Whose joyous bark in the nighttime
dark,
Led straight to the hearth's warm
glow.
Where are the pups and the festive
heas,
And he howls at the summer moon;
And the frantic spat of the Thomas
cat
Disturbed at his midnight spoon?
The high -browed pup, and the loWly
cur,
Have barked their last bow-wow;
Out under the trees, without their
feas,
They're peacefully sleeping now.

According to the press dispatches
man in Honolulu is very much com
forted over having his "toes returned" ;"
1t appears that he lost his toes and
advertised for them, and through this
medium located his missing anatomy
The man in question is some big gun
or other in the government employ
and, few years ago, he suffered an
accident of some sort that required
the amputation of two of his toes
The surgeon left the cut off toes be-
hind and their former owner pinned
them together and hung them over

Following the hottest weather in
history, people in the Middle West on
Monday and Tuesday were shivering
in a temperature in the smaller forties
while heavy frosts destroyed corn and
growing crops. While all this has
been happening in the East and Mid
die West, people on the Pacific Coast
have been enjoying their usual brand
of Weather, free from worry over
frosts and crop failures. Why folks
prefer to exist East of the Rocky
Mountains is an enigma.

President Taft will visit Salem on
his western journey, arriving there
from California at noon on Friday
october 13, and will remain until 3

Everybody should get in and boost
for Dallas first Harvest Festival and
Carnival. It will be the means of
bringing a large number of people to
the city and it will offer an unrivalled
opportunity for the display of the pro-
duets of Polk county soil. The COM
mittee has provided a long list of
amusements for the sightseers and
there are no dull moments in sight
during the entire four days. Neigh
boring communities have promised to
take part in the festival and in order
to make the days set apart for them
successes in every way some original
attractions are promised.

them a beautiful gray color that pol
ished easily. So the former owner

that's his big toe, you know" In
deed, isn't that just too cute for any
thing; I must speak to Mr. Dinwiddie
and have him see if he can't furnish
me with one And think of the va
rfeties of toes one would find. There
would be the big, fiat toe of the Mis-
souri, farmer, and the long, slender
toe of the Boston bean artist. Fat toes,
and lean toes, and short and stubby
ones, resplendent in all their fossilized
beauty, would glsten and sparkle
from the soft lace at milady's throat
and CLEAN in gray brilliance from the
red necktie of her fat husband. What

problem that has veXed the minds

them immortal by handing them down
through generations yet unborn who
in after years, will gather round the
hearthstone and sing the praises OF

ment is a great thing, sure enough.
