A Close Shave.

About the most sensational escape
from injuries that ever occurred in
the Rock Island railway shops at
Cedar Rapids took place when j.
Dvorak was caught in a flue cutter,
had practically all his clothes torn
off and escaped with only slight in
juries. Dvorak's jumper, shirt, trous-
ers and even underclothes were torn
from his body, only his shoes re-
naming intact. The only injuries he
sustained were slight bruises about
the arms and body. How he escaped
from being slashed and torn to
pieces is something railroad men
cannot account for.

You will pay just as much for a
bottle of Meritol Cough Remedy as
for any of the other cough medicines,
but you save money in buying it.
The saving is in what you get, not
what you pay. The sure-to-cure-
you quality is in every bottle of this
remedy, and you get good results
when you take it. Neglected colds
often develop serious conditions, and
when you buy cough medicine you
want to be sure you are getting one
that will cure your cold. Meritol

ExTEMPoRE RHYMES.
For the Oregon Methodist Episcopal
Conference of 1912.

(By w. S. Gordon.)
Well boys, hurrah for Ashland!
What a model place to meet,
With its fine chautauqua spirit,
And a climate hard to beat.
And | think of ancient Eschol,
AS I'm sitting down to dine
On the famous pears and peaches,
And the clusters from the vine.
And I've climbed the Scenic High
way"
And no shepherd son of Shem
Fer beheld a brighter jewel
In mountain diadem.
Well, we've made a little progress
In the battle for the right,
And have seen our nations banner
Marching upward to'ard the light
1t was fine to see La Toilette
And big Bryan use their goad,
Till the old reaction circus
Went progressing down the road.
Why, if they keep advancing,
And a-growing more in grace,
They may steal our Cnapin's plat
form
In the prohibition race.
And here's hurrah for Oswald West,
Who has dignified his trust,
And would save our state from aliens
Who would drag it in the dust
Let him feel our touch of elbows!
Our support he must not lack,
For the allied powers of darkness
All would stab him in the back.
Yes, things have been a-going some
Since last we met together
Why, everything's progressing so
1t even struck the weather,
And Portland's drizzle-drizzle
Got three months ahead of date,
And rained most all the summer,
At pretty lively gait
But the summers like the judgment,
And I'm satisfied to know
That we get what's coming to us,
Though it seems a little slow.
Let's be thankful that we're living
Where the Lord is doing things
Where the nations, like the airships,
Are a-trying out their wings.
And let's not be lame and laggard,
Or attacking in the spine,
AS we stand in holy armor

Audience With Her Sweet Voice
Long Before She Thought

Years ago wee tot of a girl at
tended Methodist evangelistc
meeting There she sang with the
congregation. So clearly did the
childish treble rise above the voices
of the big audience that the minister
conducting the service asked. the lit
tie singer to come to the platform
Her fresh young voice was a mar
vel. She could scarcely read, but the
well-trained ear of the director rec
ognized the beauty and quality of
her voice above the others and he
urged her to sing a solo from the
platform. This she did from the
good old Moody and Sankey hymns,
pausing occasionally to spell per-
picking word. Then the congrega-
ton joined in the chorus, and what
a song feast it really was 1t con-
tinued thus for many nights during
the meetings.

PIONEER EDITOR SUICIDES.
Captain Merry Ran Paper in jack
sOnville and i'm Yreka in '7Os.

Captain Thomas B. Merry, n years
old, steamboat captain and veteran
newspaperman, shot himself through
the heart Monday morning in the
washroom under the grandstand at
the Country Club race track at Port
land after policeman who had been
sent to find him and return him to
his friends had asked him to go to
the police station. He died instantly
Captain Merry is well known among
the pioneers of southern Oregon and
northern California, having edited
papers at Jacksonville and Yreka in
the '70s.
The suicide, climax to days of
dependency over his growing age
and inability to secure work, was
evidently premeditated, and the ap-
pearance of the officer served only
as the final event to hasten the de-
nouement to his resolution. He had
evidently chosen to seek the end at
the race track, in remembrance prob
ably of other days, when, as a sport
| ing writer, he had covered" bril-
liantly many a race meet of great
Importance.
Few men in the newspaper game
along the Pacific coast have been
better known and better loved than
Merry. His friends were numbered
| by the scores, not only in this city
but in California, and when he dis
appeared they sought to find him and
make some arrangement by which he
might be set on his feet financially
The news of his death brought deer
grief to the circles where he was
/ known.
Captain Merry was one of the
greatest race track reporters that
ever covered races on the Pacific
coast. For years he was race track
writer for the Los Angeles Times.
Scarcely a pioneer the length o.
the Pacific coast from Mexico tc
Alaska but knew Tom B. Merry
Frederick " Holman and John Lewis
say that he had been known at Port
land 40 years. His life was largely
given up to newspaper work anC
horses. He published the Inlant
! Empire at The Dalles and from this
paper the name INLAND Empire" fol
all the interior portion of Idaho, Ore
! gon and Washington was taken. His
residence had been various towns o.
the coast.
In 1871 Captain Merry edited the
Jacksonville Times when Charles
Nickel, the pioneer newspaper man
was a devil on the same paper.
