y a young officer in India who con-
suited a great physician because he
felt tagged from the excessive heat
and long hours of service. The ply
stefan examined him and said he
would write to him on the morrow.
The letter the patient received in.
formed him that his left lung was en-
tirely gone, his heart seriously at
fected, and advised him to adjust his
business affairs at once. "Of course,
you may live for weeks" it said, but
you had best not leave important mat
tiers undecided"
Naturally the young officer was dis
mayed by this death warrant. He
grew rapidly worse, and in "a hours
respiration was difficult and he had an
acute pain in the region of the heart.
He took to his bed with the convic-
ton that he Should never rise from 1t.

OAKLAND SALOONS IN
HANDS OF SHERIFF

Roseburg, Or, Nov. 25.-oakland in
this county, is dry as a result of the
insolvency Of its saloons. The saloons
allowed their wholesale bills to run as
long as they could, awaiting the re-
suit Of the state election. Then they
let their creditors get judgment, close
their saloons and take the fixtures.
This Sheriff Quine has done. The
Crouch saloon, it is claimed, neglected
part of its preparations until IL was
too late, as the Sheriff seized 5000 in
coin, which was found in the safe.
Oakland went dry at the recent election
under the local option law, effective
January l, 1915, and the saloons could
have kept open until that date had
they so wished.
