The Fly That Eseaped.-On recent
trip to Germany, DIR. Harvey Wiley
the governments pure food expert
heard an allegory with reference to
the subject of food adulteration, which
he contends, should cause Americans
to congratulate themselves that things
are so we'll ordered in this respect in
the United States.
The German allegory was substan-
TALLY as follows:
Four flies, which had made their
way into a certain pantry, determined
to have a feast.
One flew to the sugar and ate very
heartily; but soon died, for the sugar
was full of white lead.
The second chose the -four as his
diet, but he Jared no better, for the
flour was loaded with plaster of Paris
The third sampled the syrup, but his
six legs were presently raised in the
air, for the syrup was colored with
aniIine dyes.
The fourth fly, seeing all his friends
dead, determined to end his life also
and drank deeply of the fly poison
which he found in a convenient sau-
Ger.
He is still alive and in good health.
That, too, was adulterated.-Lippin-
colts.

"Yes, 1 saw him last night when he
was doing a very foolish thing. He
had a party of friends at one of the
hotels and seemed to be trying to FIND
out just how much wine it would be
possible to buy without causing 6

Not long ago he decided to obviate
the necessity of hunting for the key
hole when he got home at night, so he
hired a mechanic to go to his house
and put in an electric device that
would cause the door to open when
one stepped upon a certain spot on the
porch"

A Mixed Drink.-A cafe at Peoria
which was famous for it's Pilsener, was
owned by a Bohemian and conducted
actively by his son and nephew. The
old man seldom had occasion to &c
behind the bar, or to deal directly with
the public in other ways.
One day, however. all hands were
out of reach, when a man came in tc
get a drink To make the situation
acute, he ordered a cocktail.
The proprietor knew of such things
vaguely; but in a place where every
body came to drink Bohemian beer g
cocktail had no place.
First he took a lemonade glass and
put some ice in it. Then he poured
from every bottle behind the bar and
set the mixture before the customer.
There" he said. You have every
thing but the license. Drink it,

washington, D. c., Herald.)


Judging the American hustler
from my observations of him in his
own country" Joseph Lyons, painter,
novelist, dramatist and one of the
greatest hustlers of England, said, "I
should say that the American hustler
shows lack of adaptation of means
to ends, because he puts more men
tai, physical ana nervous energy into
his work at all times than 1t de-
mands. Regarded as a machine, he
is not an economical one. He breaks
down and has to be laid up for re-
pairs too often. He tries to do every
thing too fast.
"IIe ruins his digestion by eating
too fast; he plays havoc with his
nerves by trying to work too fast I
hold that a man pays much more for
his success than his own success is
worth-no matter how many millions
1t represents-when it demands of
him the expenditure of all his pow-
ers and leaves him no time, inclina-
tion or energy for the exercise Of his
faculties or talents in other dlrec-
tions.
"The typical American, the hustling
American, never seems to be salts
fed, as most Englishmen are with
what might be called moderate sue
cess"

crew who reached San Francisco
would discuss the accident at all.
One, George Anderson, fourth mate
on the Santa Rosa, declared he be-
lieved seven passengers, four of them
babies, were drowned by being
washed out of the life boat while on
their way ashore.
L. W. McHern, an assistant engi-
neer of the Santa Rosa, said the
wrecked vessel had split in two be-
fore he left it, Both men asserted
that Captain Faria did all that was
possible for his passengers and that
they did not blame him for the wreck
or for their being kept aboard yes
terday until the heavy seas of last
night commenced to break up the
ship.
A wireless message from Point Ar
guello late this afternoon said that
Miss Clara Rodgers, address un-
known, was among the passengers
| known to be dead. Late today the
beach adjacent to Point Arguello
was being patroled by searchers,
waiting for the bodies of the vic
tins to be washed ashore.
Relatives of passengers bound for
Los Angeles, and who have not been
heard from, arrived here this after
noon to assist in the search. Chief
Engineer Allison, of the Pacific Coast
Steamship company, arrived late this
afternoon to view the wreck with
the idea of raising the vessel. After
an examination he declared that II
was useless to attempt a rescue, as
the ship was absolutely worthless.
Survivors Of the wreck this. after
noon announced that they would pre-
fer charges Of derellction of duty
against Captain Faria. The pas
sengers announced that charges OF
drunkenness would be incorporated
in the complaint.
When informed Of the passengers
charges Captain Faria refused tc
talk about the drunkenness accusa'
ton, but in regard to the holding OF
the doomed passengers on the vessel
he said: -,

A few THINGS
INCIDENT TO
The Big FAIR

According to police records, Salem
is doing herself proud in regards to
an orderly celebration. Although
Salem is not dry" town, only two
drunks have been taken in during the
last "a hours. Chief of Police Ham
ilton stated this morning that it is
the quietest crowd for a three-day
celebration he has even seen.
Joe Pepe, who escaped from the
Linnton rockpile, below Portland
was arrested in Salem yesterday by
Chief of Police Hamilton. The Sa-
lem police did not have description
of the man, nor did they know a man
had escaped from Portland. Hamil-
ton was apprised of the fact by a
man who saw Pepe on the street yes
terday and recognized him. Pepe is
said to have been serving time as a
result of threatening to kill his wife
He will be held for the Portland po-
lice.
A Hebrew horse trader from Sa-
lem, went to Albany yesterday with a
horse to sell. He wanted SS5 for the
animal. A supposed friend, who was
with him, sold the horse form SIC
without the owner having knowledge
of the transaction. The man who
sold the horse is supposed to have
gone south. A search is being made
for him.

who appreciate the value of baseball
as a sport and a rejuvenator of mind
and body, and are enterprising
enough to back a good baseball team.
Salem, so far, has proven rather
backward as a baseball town, the
crowds not being as large as city
the size of Salem should turn out to
boost a strong league as we now have.
Woodburn has won six games, lost
one and is at the head of the league
now, with a percentage of 1857. Salem
is second with percentage of ,714,
having won five games and lost two.
On the Fourth, at Woodburn, in
an exhibition game, Allegaert, of the
Senators, held his opponents runless
and hitless for five innings. This is
certainly expert pitchig.
