A railroad conductor was asked to
take up a collection in church. 1t
was his first experience as taker of
collections in church. He started
down the center aisle. There were
several children in the first pew and
each put in penny. The people in
the next pew also contributed some
thing each. A big, glum fellow sat
alone in the third pew. The conduc-
tor passed him the plate. The man
shook his head and stuck his hands
deep in his pocket The conductor
stopped, put up his hand as If to jerk
the bellcord, and said: well, you'll
have to get off, '-Atchison Globe.

fused at first as they were incessant
takers and he thought their chatter
would interfere with his driving.
They promised, however, not to say
one word during the entire ride, and
he consented. Just after they had
passed rough bunny road, at high
rate of speed one of the women
touched him timidly on the shoulder
and said: ''Mr. Jones, Oh promised

Probably there has been more snow
troubles during this winter of 1911
II than ever occurred in this country
before. All classes have had to bat
tie with a super-abundance of the
beautiful element, which, in many
instances, perversly insisted on piling
itself up in great heaps where it was
least wanted and leaving bare some
of those places where it was most
needed. Farmers, teachers, doctors,
pupils and all those who are concern
ed with travel and transportation,
including train and mail men, have
had greatest cause for complaint,
but it has affected all classes The
result is more or less talk of snow
| fighting or snow moving implements
or legislation According to our ex-
changes almost every town along the
line from Kansas City to Denver is
talking snow ordinances In some
towns the officers have built snow
plows and plowed the walks, even on
Sundays But, perhaps, after all,
this snow will prove a blessing.
Bumper crops and Fourth of July fire
crackers will help us to forget snow
plows And snow drifts before we see
as much snow again.

To PALE, THIN PEOPLE.
Druggist Koeppen & Bros. Offer to
pay for SamOse If 1t Does Not
Make Thin People Fat.

Pale, thin people are simply suffer-
ing for want of nourishment. They
may eat enough, but their food is not
properly digested and does them no
good.
Samose. the remarkable flesh form
ing food should be used by all who
are pale weak and thin. It mingles
with the food and aids assimilation,
so that when taken for short time.
Nature will soon assert her normal
powers. and the food that is eaten VIII
give strength and good flesh.
The woman who longs for rosy
cheeks and the plumpness of beauty
should use Samose. The man who
wants to be strong and we'll and gain
health and good flesh, will find his
desires accomplished by Samose.
Such remarkable results have fol-
lowed the use of Samose that Drug
gist Koeppen & Bros. are willing to
pay for the treatment IL II does not
give the desired results They make
this offer generally and want all who
are thin, weak and out Of health tc
! get a box of samose from them or
those terms.

At THE OREGON THEATRE
"PoIIy Of the Clrcus.n

There is famous paragraph in the
discipline of great church which
puts the circus rider under the ban
along with other Objectionable am
usements. The liberal element of the
denomination, who strove in vain to
have the paragraph expunged, might
have their opponents invited to see
Miss Ida st. Leon in Frederic Thomp-
sons great play. "Polly of the Circus"
and which is one of the tenderest and
most touching that will be seen at the
Oregon theatre on January 14th.
This is one of the greatest scenic
productions on the road and it is
due to that genius, Frederic Thomp-
son, who built and designed the huge
Hippodrome and who owns the great
est amusement park in the world
Luna Park, Coney Island, New York
City. 1t is an exquisite idyl, full of
humanity and humor-a three ring
circus with a sermon thrown in. The
company is well balanced and coher-
ent and the stage settings deserve no
less than the work of the company.
During the course of the play there
is shown a circus with all the equip
ment, such as clowns. bareback rid
ers, acrobats, ringmasters and aerial
acts. also horses, dogs, ponies, also
lights, noise and the smell of the
sawdust ring.
