Any BUY a cut of cloth. sir"
The Northern man replies.
"Oh, buy barrel of apples,

And Buy box of oranges,

Before all Wall street fails"

Or Wont you buy a horse, sir,
To save your weary iegs?
"Oh, buy a ton of copper"
The mining magnate writes.
For copper's going begging
While every German fights.
"Oh. buy me a little bye-bye!"
The babe In the cradle bawls.
'Why don't you buy my wheat, sir!
The Western farmer calls.
And it's buy this, that and the other,
And it's buy from morn till night

One of the stories told by Henry

handed down to him from the genera
ton that preceded him, and tells Of a
visit made by John Quincy Adams to
New York as late as 1874. He went on
committee from the Massachusetts
Historical Society with DR.. George Ell

Battery and took large airy room to-
gether. Mr.. Adams would have no
fire, though II was November, and he
insisted on having the window wide
open. After they were both in bed
Mr.. Adams would begin stories and
tell all sorts Of experiences. full Of
vigor and snap and extremely anus

had to stuff the sheet in his mouth
to keep from roaring aloud with
laughter at Mr.. Adams fun. Present
ly Mr.. Adams would say, Now 1t is

The distinction of having a post
office of the first class Is something

A Satisfactory forward to with pride
Showing. and for Pendletoa
the goal is in sight
The business of the local office is
showing a sure and steady increase
and it is very probable the $4,000
mark will be attained by the end of
the present fiscal year.
business Of $4,000 a year will
entitle Pendleton to enter the first
class list and our local postal employees
will then receive salaries commen-
surate with the increased business. In
the event the O.-w. r. & y. freight
terminal is located here-as 1t will be
from indications-it is within reason
to predict an office of the first class
for this city.
In the Baker high school q rumpus
is on between the students and the
principal over the ques-
High School ton Of encouraging
Talebearing. talebearing. The stu
dents claim the princi-
pal has been wrong in his policy on
the subject and they have committed
various depredations to show their
feelings.
The case is interesting because II
raises the point as to whether the
principal is wrong or the students
wrong. The answer Is the students
are wrong in blaming the principal.
They should blame themselves IL any,
one and they are poor losers Of they
howl.
If high school is to fit students
for real life student affairs should be
conducted on the same principles that
apply in real life 1t is generally rec
ognized everywhere that those who
stand for constituted authority may
with propriety obtain information
from detectives and talebearers. That
is why we have the secret service and
why we have detectives. without evi:
dence secured from such sources It
would be impossible to enforce the
laws and secure convictions for
crimes. Society would be endangered.
Yet this is not saying that the pro-
fession Of detective or talebearer is
high class calling or anything of the
sort. II is a questionable occupation
but II often produces wholesome re-
suits.
Now the theory that a high school
should be a government In miniature
Is pretty sound theory This being
so high school authorities should have
the privilege of securing evidence
from talsbearers il they wish to do so.
Students will be face to face with such
conditions after they have finished
school. Why not prepare them for
citizenship by giving them a taste OF
what they will face later on. In real
life lawbresker who gets sore and
abusive simply because someone may
testify against him gets no sympathy.
Apply the same conditions in minia-
ture government and the schools Will
turn out fewer lawbreakers. ss

Prosecuting Attorney Shepherd
said. Monday morning, that the real
story for the day. concerning the

Pastors union. which would adopt ft-

nothing Of the sort, which shows that
even prosecuting. attorney doesn't
know as much about the news that's
going to break as he often thinks he
does.
In fact. Mr.. Shepherd couldn't work
up any new sensation about the Dres-
den., He said that 1t Is now up to the
common council.
"One thing is sure" he said. with
emphasis. III there Is any way to
do II, I'm going to carry this case to
that saloon license can be sold. Cor
p0ration Counsel Lawson says that
he doesn't think so either. He hasn't
given written opinion on the sub
ject, but off-hand he says that he
agrees with me on that point. And
Dick Lawson's some lawyer, believe
me.
"A saloon license isn't property. It's
q permit to certain individual, and
1t can't be transferred with the bar
fixtures. That's my reading Of the
law. and I'd IKE nothing better than
to take q case against Friedman tc
the supreme court, III the council
grants Friedman license on thl
claim that Barnett has sold out to
him."
The prosecutor has not yet written
