HIS TWENTY DOLLAR EGG.

A hen on the farm Of Henry l..
Jost, first assistant prosecuting attor-
ney, laid her first egg the other day.
Incidentally, it was the first egg laid
by any member of the flock and Mr..
Jost took his account book down from
the shelf and figured just what that
egg cost him.
GAS nearly as I can estimate" said
he, 81 am out just 500 for hat egg.

LAYING 1T ON.


B. s. Josselyn, head of the Port
land Railway, Light & Power COM
pany. is credited with a talk from
which the following is IN extract:
Therefore in case o have occas-
ion to speak with regard to what the
transportation companies do for Ore
gon keep in mind this thought that
of every IS paid in support of the
state, municipal and county govern
ments 81 comes from the transpor-
tation companies"
A very sublime argument, But
Mr.. Josselyn should point out also
that the public service corporations
get their money from the public and
that they are adequately paid for
handling the coin. 1t is not their
cash at all. The electric trust in
particular seems to use very little
money of its own. 1t operates main
ly on borrowed coin and requires the
consuming public to pay the interest
as well as dividends on excessive cap
italiZation. 1t is a pretty one sided
arrangement and 1t does not improve
ones temper to be told how great and
good the corporations are and how
we should kow-tow before them.

VOTES FOR N EN-

Pendleton suffragists are glad to
to know hat Mrs. La Toilette will &C
company her distinguished husband
on his trip through oregon.
Mrs. La Toilette is an officer of the
National Suffrage association, a not
ed club woman, and Pendleton wo-
men hope to hear her speak in this
city.
Woman suffrage has been endorsed
by organizations of women counting
more than 9 millions of members. Do
women want to vote?
If there were no question of man
hood suffrage or womanhood suf-
frage, If all citizens of this republic
were confronted with the task of gov
eminent, and the suffrage had not as
yet been conferred on any of them,
would there be any hesitancy in
awarding the privilege to men and
women upon some basis of equal quail
ification?
The world needs women's influ-
ence in public affairs, and women
need the influence of a larger world,
a larger responsibility, than they have
been allowed to feel. Only with men
and women developing and progress
ing side by side can we expect an ap-
Proclamation of that splendid destiny
which awaits the arousing of all citi-
zens to the exercise of the privilege
and responsibility Of cooperation in a
government for all the people by all
the people.
Mr.. Louis Brandeis is an eminent
publist, whose devotion to the COM
mon welfare has brought him fame
for many years past; he is also a
keen lawyer and a practical mar of
affairs. That is proved by his brilliant
handling of the Pinchot-B allinger case

EGGS IN MISSISSIPPI.

When a certain Mobile man stop
ped for luncheon at a small railway
station eating house in a Mississippi
town an old darby shuffled up and
announced in a gruff voice that the
bill of fare consisted of ham, eggs,
corn bread and coffee.
Such a ~pretentious order for one
person only appeared to stagger the
aged servitor. But he soon recovered
his ~equanamity and started toward the
kitchen. Then he turned and came
back with this inquiry:
Boss, how will yo' hab dem eggs,
blind or lookin' at yer?"-Lippin-

The Three Eates In Greece.

The peasantry of Greece firmly be.
lieve that the future of every child is
determined by three fates. known as
the Moral. The trio is supposed to be
three old and wrinkled women who
dwell in a mountain cave and who
come simultaneously to the house in
which a new baby has made its APP
pearance. In order that their aged
and uncertain feet may not be hinder
ed, all furniture is carefully set aside.
and honey. cakes. bread and wine are
set out so that the important though
invisible guests may refresh them
selves. If the household is sufficiently
wealthy to possess little real money.
this, too, is placed on the table with
the food. All things. good and bad
are in the hands of the three fateS
On no account must the childs beauty
be alluded TO at the time when the
visitors might be present. To do so
would cause its good looks TO instantly
disappear. Nothing must be said To
annoy or displease the Moral. and this
makes the situation a bit difficult. as
no one is quite sure what might or
might not displease them.

Sailors Queer Customs.

The sailors broad collars were de-
yised so that the powder or tar on the
wearerS cues should not come off on
the blOuses. In those days every
sailor wore his hair in cue and either
had the cue powdered or held together
by tar. This was not good for the
blouse or jacket underneath. So de-
tachable broad collars were added.
Sailors stopped wearing cues a cen
fury ago. But they still wear the
wide collar. When Lord Nelson died
the British navy went into mourning
for him. Sailors put broad black rib
bons on their caps and black ribbons
on their blouSes. And the ribbons re-
main to this day not only on the uni
forms of British sailors. but on those
of other navies as well. The broad
bell shaped" ends of sailors trousers
legs were thus shaped so that the
wearer might more easily turn his
trousers up above his knees when he
had to swab the decks. Deck swab
bing was hateful and supposedly de-
grading task. Hence the sailors call
ed their enemies "swabs" as a term
Of contempt.

Strenqth of a Spiders Web.

When taking into consideration the
materials employed. the size of the in
sect and the thickness of its thread
the web of a spider is almost incom.
prehensibly strong. Late experiments
have shown that a single thread of q
web made by spider, which weighed
fifty-four milligrams. supported end
wise weight of four grams. or seven
ty-four times the weight Of the spider
itself. When a spider spins a web to
let himself down from the ceiling or
from the branch of a tree we may be
certain that he is in no danger of fall
ing. but that he could carry many
more of his kind on the same thread
The threads Of the web when inter
woven and REINFORCED one by another
have a very considerable strength and
are able to hold bees and wasps. them
selves very powerful in proportion to
their size. and to bend without break

RICE, FARMERS NOW
 IN MIDST OF HARVEST

 Mills Will Start Soon. However.

Harrisburg, Oct. 10.--Rice farmers are now in the midst of the rice mar ket and it is estimated that half O. the rice has already been cut, although some few farmers have not yet com menced cutting on account of the lateness of their crops. Some of them have started the thresher to work this week. Labor is scarce with them and in great demand. None of them has teen able to get as much help as they wanted. But the rice will soon begin to pour into the mill and will then be put into opera tion. The crop is fine this year.
