proposed road from Condor to the
head of Dry Fork, 1ntersecting the
Heppner road at that place. The
people of Dry Fork want postoffice,
and are willing to join the citizens
of Lone Rock in a petition for a mail

prove a great convenience to Hepp-

THE BEST FROM JUDGE
Unconscious Joker.

What the case was about no one
seemed to know exactly. The lawyers
themselves were pretty we'll mixed
up.
Then an important witness entered
the box and was presently asked to
tell the court the total of his gross
income.
He refused; the counsel appealed
to the judge.
"You must answer the question" 4"
said the judge sternly.
The witness fidgeted about and
then burst out with:
"But-But, your honor, l have no
gross income. I'm a fisherman, and
it's all net. ."-Pittsburg Chronicle

And Then She Blushed.

A party of strangers were visiting
at the college. 1t was in the late
fall and the air was crisp and cold.
One of the members of the party, a
charming young woman, was escorted
through the grounds by learned but
very much preoccupied professor.
Suddenly two members of the track
team, accoutred for their sport,
passed them.
"It's dreadfully cold," remarked
the young woman, with dainty shiv-
er, as she gazed after the runners,
ito be without stockings"
The professors mind, deep in con-
temptation of the fourth dimension,
was attracted by the sound of the
girls voice.
"Then why" he asked absently,
did you leave them off?"-Youth's
Companion.

The man who does not have times of serious reflection is a fool or rascal. Every man knows what it is to ponder some of the more sober Questions of life and existence. Amongst these he wonders just why lie is here in the world, how he can get the most out of life, how he can best develop himself, and to what he is moving each day and week and year. The person who does not give these questions some consideration is only playing with life, and is a very dangerous person to have as an acquaintance. He will bear watching. = Are Men Slaves.
 Now there are various influences at N ork to give men answers to these queries. Some say a man is here to De a slave, a slave to his work or business, a slave to a machine, or desk, or a counter. And some men hre really slaves and no more, whether they draw small wages or big salaries. Then there are other Answers. But no influence or agency has given these matters deeper con- s1deration than the church.
