er drivers. and Sam washed stages,
, in addition to being agent until the
old man happened by. caught him at
it and booted Sam up to the office
and told him to stay there. What
the old man said to those drivers was
something scandalous.
There was a paper in Pendleton
called the East Oregonian. Sam had
always been interested in types, be-
cause he bought a printing press
with the twenty dollars his father
gave him to go to the Centennial; and
he was so much impressed with the
big hand press and the real type in
the East Oregonian office When he
wasn't working he hung round the
office. The editor was a southern
gentleman who filled the paper with
long editorials on "The Lost Cause"
and The Virtues of jefferson Davis. Z"
Sam soon saw there was no nourish-
ment in that, and one day he said to
the editor: Say, what you want to
put in this paper isn't this stuff about
The Lost Cause but locals?"
Wherein l get them" asked the
editor.
"I'll get them" Sam replied: and
he did, after hours at the stage office.
Presently the editor offered to sell
Sam a quarter-interest in the paper,
and sam bought it, giving his note.
There were two or three sales and re-
sales, but 1t wasn't long before Sam
owned the paper, and the career of
Charles Samuel Jackso the present
big man of oregon journalism began.
Sam is a humorous cuss, with a gift
for paragraphinG and a sense of busi-
ness as keen as 'an be. He hitched
onto a brilliant rellow for editor and
began the upbuilding of the East ore
gonian, which presently became a
daily and eventually became known
as the best paper of its kind in any
town of the size of Pendleton on the
whole map of the United States. He
was a democrat, but he let his editor
do the politics of it and hold the Of
fices Sam busted himself with the
business end supervising the editorial
side of it and writing those biting
paragraphs WITH such effect that once
when his editor was in the state sem

to impeach the editor because they
thought he was writing them, when

there and look over the plant and
prospects of an afternoon paper call

started some time before and had
been a total loss as far as making
money or getting circulation and in

That was nine or ten years ago.
Sam went down, made a proposition
that was accepted and took over the

money he put in and had some very
lean years. Finally he turned the cor

stage Sam washed back there in PEN

Beware Of Side Needle Spine

Physicians today recognize the sewing
machine as being the basic cause of more
nervous disorders peculiar to woman than
any other modern convenience.
of all human inventions, the ordinary
sewing machine does more to wreck worn-
ans health, by producing spinal weakness,
causing nervous troubles, and lingering tor
turing internal displacements than any other
cause.
The reason is piain-look at the construc-
ton Of your sewing machine: on account OF
the needle being AZ inches away from the
centre, where it should be, you have to sit in a
position with your body twisted out of plumb
to operate it.
Think what this twisting of your spine and
other delicate internal organs means, and YOU
can't operate your machine with your feet on
the treadle without this twist in your body.
Now compare this with a STANDARD
CENTRAL NEEDLE MACHINE built to
operate with the needle central, right in
front of you and directly over the centre of
the treadle.
straight and do your sewing without the
least strain on your spine or any part of
your internal r anatomy; You can sew on
CHINE all day, without feeling tired or get
ting pain in your back. You can sit in a
natural position without undue strain on your
stomach and nerves.
This new type of machine means freedom
from suffering and ushers in Tremendous
advance for health and happiness and free
dom from disease. And this machine Is
easily within your reach-easy to buy and
easy to operate, will save its cost in doctors
bills, to say nothing of health.

Samncl,s Honest Father.

The pretty lady and her husband
lived in Pendleton. which is in east
'ern Oregon and there is where they
told Sam to go and begin to grow up
with the country. So Sam went there
after some vicissitudes. He had no job
and not much money. One day he
heard OF the position of stage agent
was vacant, and he went to the man
who owned the stage line-it was
eleven hundred miles long and quite
an institution-and said: II hear you
are going to appoint new stage
agent and l want that job
The stage man looked at Sam, who
was tall thin, cadaverous, lantern
jawed and shambling. "By jinks!"
said the stage man; "any chap who
tavors Abe Lincoln in his homeliest
days, like you do, can have anything
I've got" and he made Sam stage
agent at forty dollars a month and
room and board.
Sam went to work. When he drew
his first pay. which seemed all the
money in the world to him, he wrote
to his father:
Dear Paw: I've got n good job.
1 get forty dollars a month and room
and board as stage agent and I'm do
ing fine. Your loving son, Sam"
Three weeks later Sam got this re-
ply: Dear Sam: I have your letter
saying you are getting forty dollars
month as stage agent. You must
not keep that place, Sam. You are
not worth it. Your loving father"
on the first day a stage came in
the driver told him part of his work
was to wash all the stages. and Sam
went down to the barn and washed
the stage while the driver loafed. This

A QUEER STAPLE FOR A STRIKE
During the strike which the high
cost of living lately caused through
out England, the most curious and
interesting is that of the Noting
ham Worm growers Union. 1t may
seem to the public generally that
this demand for fish bait is excessive,
but the assurance is give that it is
by no means too large in some places
like Nottingham near the seashore.
For years the regular price paid the
gatherers for work done by lanterns
at night was 43 cents per thousand
worms. During the strike several
advances on this figure were made
until they attained a little more than
double that price, before the combi-
nation was broken.
