Sayino Came True

The discovery that Scottish bank notes have actually been forged with in the walls of Peterhead convict prison recalls an amusing incident.
 Unlike the notes of the Bank of England (which are destroyed as soon as they find their way back to the barA), notes on Scottish banks are put in circulation again and again. The result is that some of these notes get very dirty, the one-pound notes got ting particularly grubby and worn in the course of their travels.
 An English barrister who was once given a sheaf of these notes in pay ment of large amount regarded them with horror for a few seconds, holding them delcately between his thumb and finger.
 Now" he said. holding them at arms length. now I understand the meaning of that saying about filthy lucer.'"

MADE UP OF LITTLE THINGS
Small Events Count for Much More in Life Than Those We Consider
 of importance.

We love little things, we hate little things, We fear little things; our lives are knit up with little things from the time we are born to the day we die.
 Big things draw us up to Heaven or crush us down to hell. Little things live beside us on the earth, eat and sleep with us, laugh and grumble with us, catch the early train with us, or make us miss it, irritate and appease us-never leave us alone for a min ute.
 That is why they are so much more important than the big things-the things that only come once in a way, at long intervals. and even then are nearly always the result of a hundred and one little things combined.
 To be crushed by large misadven- ture is natural, but to fall victim to series of petty misfortunes is hu- initiating. There are many who would prefer to break their necks once and tor all by falling off mountain, than to bruise their whole bodies and dis. locate their tempers by the daily stumbling over a mole-hill. It is the little things that count-the satisfac- ton of climbing Mount Olympus is a poor sort of attainment if the scores and scores of pleasant details which wait upon success be absent-From the Atlantic.

WHITE SERVANTS GOOD WORK
Did Much Toward Building Up the South In the Days Before the
 Revolution,

Socially the white servant was an important factor in helping to build up a landed aristocracy in the south, be- cause he made possible the cultivation of extensive areas of land, declares a writer in Harper's Magazine. But in the course of few years he became a free citizen and owner of a small estate. Thus was developed a yeoman class, much needed democratic ele- ment In the southern colonies, while at the same time settlers were secured for the black lands, where they were needed 10 protect the frontier. Never, theless, they did not form a distinct class after becoming freedmen. Some were doubtless the progenitors of the poor white trash" of the south, but 1t is likely that environment rather than birth was the main factor in producing this class. While comparatively few rose to prominence. yet there are some notable examples to the contrary. Two signers of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, George Taylor and Mathew Thornton: Charles Thompson, the sec retary of the continental congress, and General Sullivan of revolutionary war fame, had all been white servants. It is certain also that many became sue cessful planters, and perhaps the ma jority respectable and desirable citi- Zens.

An interested Visitor.

Mr.. Fred w. German, prominent
citizen OF Portland, Ore. was here
the first OF the week, the guest OF X.
II. Traill Mr.. German held an OPP
ton on a piece of land on the tract
northeast OF town and his mission
a prospect OF purchasing 1t. 1t was
his first visit to the tract and he was
astonished at the magnitude OF the
improvements that had been made
here, and he was not long in decid-
ing that he would take advantage OF
the option he held on this certain
piece OF land and become the pos
SCISSOR OF 1t.
Mr.. German, besides other bust
ness is engaged to some extent In real
estate business, and is therefore com
petent to pass judgment upon what
he considers most favorable oppor'
tunities and after a few days spent
In going over the tract here he con-
siders property here one OF the mos
| profitable and safe investments tina
he knows OF, and he advised US thai
upon his return to Portland he would
encourage some of his friends who
are looking for safe investments t.
put their money In North Side prop
erty.
Seeing is believing, and we onl,
wish that more OF just such people
could visit the tract and Judge To-
themselves what we have to OFFER t
the investor and farmer.

House Cleaning for Stock

Whether horses, cattle, sheep, hogs
or poultry, means a good cleaning
and disinfecting of all pens, sheds
and yards, dipping or spraying all
animals showing signs of scab ticks
or lice, SO they will start clean and
healthy. For this purpose We han
die only the best government tested
disinfectants not like the thousand
and one cheap dips that are peddled
through the country and are apt to
contain injurious ingredients.
Our Sanax Dip. Kreso Dip No. /.
DR.. David Roberts Disinfectual and
Pratt's Germathol are standard prep
arations and mix about 1 part to rs
Of water. So the cost is a trifie, and
as the stock is the moneyed end OF
the ranch, we would advise a good
disinfecting every six or eight weeks
1t will pay big in the end.

Pleased with the North Side.

A couple of weeks ago we noted
the visit here of two gentlemen from
Mcpherson, Kans., who were investi-
eating the tract. These gentlemen
have returned home and the follow
ing taken from the local paper at
Mcpherson, is an indication of their
opinion of this section of the coun-
try:
Miles Wright and B. A. FELTON, re-
turned Saturday from Jerome, Ida

trip with Rev. Dodge. Mr.. Wright
brought with him some samples OF
grains and fruits raised there and
this gives one an idea that Idaho IL

brush. These we're raised with irri-
cation and were of vigorous
growth. About everything raised In
a prairie state grows there and the
fresh soil produces In abundance
They visited the different places OF
especial scenic interest and also saw
where VIM. ]. Bryan has a farm. Mr.
Miles is especially well pleased with
the climate and the products appealed
to Mr.. FELTON,. Although they have
not bought, they are considering 1
an opportunity.

Mr.. Henry Misplon had ten acres
in clover last season which was
gathered for seed. and after laying
all winter he finally succeeded In get
ting II threshed last week, and the
result was both surprising to him as
well as the men who operated the
huller. The Yield OF the seed from
the 10 acres. according to the weight
behind the huller, was fraction over
81 bushels, which exceeds by a peck
the largest amount ever obtained
from a like acreage on the entire
North Side tract, according to the
statement OF the threshers. Messrs
Bray and Calvan, who have threshed
all the clover seed that has been
threshed on this tract
Mr.. Misplon is highly elated over
the result of the yield. as he consid
ers 1t one OF the most profitable crops
that can be grown. At a conservativ,
estimate the seed is worth something
like $500 per bushel. which as Hen
ry puts It will make the entire pay
ment on the land and leave a surplu
besides. We are pleased to note thes
most satisfactory results in seed rails
ing, as II evidences our claim tina
this section Is most admirably adapt
ed to the raising OF all kinds of grass

spring comes. Mr.. Brayton will de-
vote a portion OF his time during the
coming season to improving lands
for others. and his announcement to
this effect will be found in another

And do not strike note.

Sixteen brethren brought him home,
Though he says he brought them.
His wrist was sprained and a big rip
Had rent his Sunday coat.

When father rode the goat"
He is lying on the couch today
A practicing his signs
The hailing sign, the working grip
And other monkey shines.
He mutters pass words beneath his
breath.
And other things he'll quote.
They must have had an evenings

This goat, he leads what Teddy CALI

Makes trouble for such candidates
