A Bilious Attack.

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
tions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stom-
ach instead of digesting. This in
flames the stomach and causes nau-
sea, vomiting and a terrible headache.
Take Chamberlain's Tablets They
will tone up your liver, clean out your
stomach and you Will soon be as well
as ever. They only cost a quarter.

A delightful book of original fairy
tales that will please the younger
children can be found on the fairy
tale shelf. And because the author
has really lived in our own city, these

Flight to Mt. Hood" and 1.-THE First
Morning in Santa's Home" as well as

for again and again by the child who
has once heard them.
Imaginative fancies that emphasize
the beauties of nature will delight the
little readers of fairy lore. The au-
thor, Mrs. Geraldine Berkeley, and
her little niece and nephew for whom
these stories were first written, often
visited in Pendleton and are well
known by many who will enjoy read

HE ate and drank the precious
words,

He knew no more that he was poor,
Nor that his frame was dust,
He danced along the dingy ways,
And this bequest of wings
Was but a book-what liberty
A loosened spirit brings!"

BOY LOSES LEG
Harry FOos May Also Forfeit His Life
through Foolhardiness

marty rOO" NAY AlSO FORFEIT His Life
through Foolhardiness
Harry Foos, eight years old, is in a
precarious condition at the Mary Flet-
cher hospital as the result of being
; run over by coal car In the yard of the
Rutland railroad Monday afternoon.
His left leg was severed above the
knee and just what the result of the
loss Of blood will be Is not yet known
by the physicians at the hospital. Be-
cause of the recuperative powers Of the
child. however. 1t Is expected that he
Will live, although no certainty Is ex-
pressed by the doctors who are attend .
ing him.
In spite Of the efforts of the rail-
road officials to prevent children from
going around the yard. a number Of
them do creep In. AS near as could be
ascertained Monday some of the
children had crawled under a line of
cars and young Foos followed suit
Just as he had nearly completed his
dangerous journey a shifting engine
backed into the line Of cars and several
tons of iron went over Foos' leg with
the result that the bones and all Of the
muscles were severed with the excep-
ton of one muscle which remained
intact.
The screams of the children, who
were with the boy. attracted the at
tention of the railroad men and they
did what they could by way Of first
aid treatment. while others ran to the
nearest telephone to obtain medical
assistance. DR. b. j. A. Bombard was
the first on the scene and he lost no
time In sending the child to the hospital

LONG TERM FOR GORDON
Man Who Beat Up Aged Waterman
Gets Sentence

Mdh VINO beat Up Aged waterman
Gets Sentence
A sentence of not less than four and a
half nor more than five years in the house
OF correction was imposed on Peter l..
Gordon Monday afternoon in city court
by Judge Stearns in answer to his plea
of guilty to breach of the peace. Gordon
has been in Jail since February 2S, when
he was arrested for assaulting Martin
Belaski, the aged night Waterman who
was nearly killed while doing duty in one
Of the lumber yards. Gordon, on receiving
sentence, apparently took the matter
lightly and evidenced no concern over the
fact that quite a slice would be taken out
of his life while he was doing duty in
Rutland.
Gordon, who seems to make the bust
ness of being an adventurer his lifes
work, was arrested after Belaski had
been found unconscious in one of the lum-
Der yards. 1t was evident on examination
that he had not been merely knocked out,
but that he had been kicked and abused
For some time it was a matter of doubt
as to whether lie would recover and be-
cause of this doubt, the trial has been
postponed until yesterday.
1t was evident from what could be
that Gordan and a man named Joseph
Miner were seeking a place to sleep in the
lumber yard and that Belaski would not
consent to let the men stay there. Gordon
then attacked Belaski and after beating
him into inconsistencies, kicked him and
evidently continued his brutality to the
point where he became tired of 1t. Miner
demonstrated with Gordon and there was
no evidence to show that he was in any
way complicated in the assault. The
case against him was nole pressed.
BOYS PLEAD GUILTY.
City court was busy with other cases
also Monday afternoon. Max Winters
and Merton Sampson pleaded guilty to
breaking into the pool room of Sam
Zeskind on st. Paul street on March 3d.
They were sentenced to not less than two
nor more than two and half years in
State prison but the sentence was sus-
pended and they were placed in the hands
OF the probation officer. They paid the
costs.
The boys took from Zeskind's place Is
watches and some money. Practically all
of the booty with the exception of one
watch has been recovered by the police
and 1t will only be a matter of few days
before the other watch is returned to its
rightful owner.
TWO WOMEN SENTENCED.
Susie Carter and Mary Bombard, who
were arrested Saturday night on a charge
OF keeping house of il-fame, also were
sentenced. They will serve not less than
SIX months nor more than a year In the
house OF correction. The women pleaded
guilty to the charges preferred against
them. There are two small children in the
lombard family who were found to be
IN a pitiful state of neglect. These will
be cared for by the proper authorities.
