CHANGE WOULD NOT IMPROVE.

In conversation with Post
master Logan. The Times-Her-
aid finds that a change in rout-
ing our western mail by way Of
Bend as suggested in our last
issue would be of no benefit un-
less it could be brought in by
auto stage which is not practical
except through the summer sea
son.
Western mail reaches Bend
sooner than it does Baker but
from the former point to Burns
the time would be lost as it would
be impossible to make Il schedule
of less than 40 hours for stages
from that point. Under these
circumstances il would not be
advisable TO ask for route that
way, but rather try and improve
the present facilities to get mail
in. Another suggestion along
this line is to get better mail con-
nections throughout the county.
The present service is not salts
factory rs connections are not
made rs they should and the peo-
pie of the southern part of the
county who have considerable
business with Burns in land and
county matters are very much

service.

THE WILD STRAWBERRIES.

One day, an old soldier with a wood
en- leg came into village, and became
suddenly ill., He was unable to pro-
coed any further; but was obliged to
lie down on little straw in a shed,
and fell into the utmost distress.
Little Agatha, the daughter of a
poor basketmaker, took compassion on
the poor sick man. She visited him
every day, and every time she went
made him present of three-penny
piece.
One evening, however, the old SOL
der said, with much concern: Dear
child, 1 heard only today that your
parents are poor; tell me honestly,
then, where do you get so much
money? For / had rather die of hun
ger than accept of a single halfpenny
which you could not give me with
good conscience"
''Oh, said Agatha, make your mind
easy; the money is honestly gotten. |
go to school in the next market town;
and the road thither lies through
wood, where there are abundance of
wild strawberries. Every time I pass,
gather basketful, and sell them in
the village; and I always get three
pence for them. My parents know
this well, and they have no objection.
They often say: There are many peo-
pie still poorer than we, and therefore
we must do them as much good az
our condition permits u.s.
The bright tears stood in the eyes
of the old soldier, and trickled down
his beard. MY good child" said he,
God will bless you and your parents
for your charitable disposition"
Some time afterwards, distin-
guished officer, who was decorated
with many orders, was travelling
through the village. He drew up his
carriage, which was magnificent one,
before the inn, in order to feed his
horses; he there heard of the sick
soldier, and went to visit him. The
old soldier Immediately told him
about his little benefactress.
What" cried the officer, has a
poor child done SO much for you? Your
old general can not do less. I shall
Immediately give orders that they pro-
vide for you the best accommodations
which the inn affords"
He. did so accordingly, and then
went to the cottage of little Agatha.
my good child he said, deeply af-
fected, "your benevolence has warmed
my heart and brought tears to my
eyes. You have presented the old
soldier with great many three-penny
pieces; accept now, in return for
them, the same number of gold
pieces"

You must do this, you must learn

ST. cUTHBERT's PEACE.

In the north of England, in the
seventh century, writes F. H. Sucking
in The Brotherhood of Love- there
lived little orphan lad named Cuth-
bert, who earned his bread by tend
ing sheep upon the wild moors and
lonely hills. And there he grew to
love every wild creature that wore
fur or feathers. And as he watched
the gulls sweeping inland upon their
beautiful white wings, he longed
above all things for wings also, for
then, he thought, he could fly away to
heaven.
And sitting in solitude day after
day, and thinking so much about
heavenly things, Cuthbert resolved to
give up shepherding and to become
servant of God. So, six hundred and
fifty years after the birth of Christ, he
entered Melrose Abbey for spiritual
instruction. His heart was so full of
love for everything, and his preaching
was so persuasive and beautiful, that
no one who heard him could ever
help attending.
One very cold night Cuthbert went
out to pray by himself under the
stars, and as he knelt two brown
offers came up out of the water and
licked his poor frozen feet, and lay
upon them to keep them warm as he
prayed. Then he determined to be-
come a hermit, and to live by himself
on wild little island in the Scottish
seas named Farne. He lived in a
cave in the rocks, which made him
two rooms, one for his little chapel
and the other for his bed And though
so far away, he was never lonely, for
the birds whom he loved found him
out, and flocked to his cell, and would
sit on his shoulders and feed from his
hand, and never left him unless
scared by the people who came there
to see the wonderful preacher. And
st. Cuthbert loved his gentle feath-
cred friends so dearly that when he
was dying he blessed them and left
them his peace, and because he feared
they might be molested in the time to
come, he prayed that anyone who
harmed the birds of Farne might be
severely punished. And st. Cuth-
bert's peace is still said to rest upon
the Farne Islands, where flocks of
sea-birds still congregate, descendants
of the birds that the saint loved so
well-gentle, innocent creatures that
hurt no one; and yet there are cruel
people in these days who want the
beautiful white sea-bird's wings for
ladies' hats and, forgetting about St.
Cuthbert's peace, go there to kill the
birds. But is it quite certain that
the men who go to shoot them, and
the women who wear them, are
exempt from the. penalty of breaking
st. Cuthbert's peace?

Sometimes a boy who is handy with
