gorgeous Caves

The Oregon caves, which hunter
stumbled upon in 1874, by no means
equal the Mammoth Cave of Ken
lucky in extent, but far surpass that
of any other known cave in this coun-
try in natural splendor.
Water, saturated with carbonate OF
lime, seeping from the ground above
has slowly incrusted the whole sur
face of the cave. Ceilings and walls
are frescoed: alcoyes, balconies and
corridors are fringed with the NJ
immaculate of draperies; floors have
the lustre of silk and look as if never
meant for the tread of mortal feet.
The formations are curious; many
bear actual or fancied resemblance
to objects of various kinds-weird,
fantastic, awesome. Everywhere crys-
tai facets CLEAN in response to tn
explorers light. Here the walls glow
softly as If with the sheen of velvet;
there they blaze as if with the twinkle
distant stars reflected in myraids of
mirrors; everywhere diamond-like
points and facets scintillate with fire
and color.
The caves have not been wholly ex-
plored. but the visitor can travel per
haps three miles and half under
ground. The trip takes three hours.
The entrance to the caves is twenty
seven miles from the nearest railway
station.

III She Got Paid.
lFrom the Wilkes Patriot J

tFrom the Wilkes Patriot
We note where the University of
Nebraska has inquired into the place
the farmers wife occupies in farm
economy. and il reports that if she
was paid on the same basis as other
people her yearly earnings would
amount to four thousand dollars.
First. as cook. she earns $40 a week
And AT that has no days off and is
expected TO be on the job all the
time. She generally is, as every farm
ers wife in three thousand miles of
Wilkesboro can testify. Then, she
does all the washing and ironing. and
for that she is allowed SIS per week.
On an average there are 10 days
of sickness each year on farm and
in those trying times the farmer :
wife if she is not the one who is
sick, has to be nurse. For this the
man who made the figures allows SIS
per year, assuming the wage of a
nurse in the country is $25 week.
She does the sewing and should be
credited with Sc week for that Add
to all these items the fact that she
does the scrubbing and cleaning. pic
king and preserving and teacher for
the children. and the man at the
University says she easily earn $4,000
a year
And we are right here TO agree
that it's not too much and to ask at
the same time, how many of them
ever get IL? They bear the bulk of
the burden. and they bear il without
grumbling. So our advice to the
husband of any one of them is TO
remember. next time he is asked for
the price OF a new dress, that he's
getting off pretty cheap as il is when
he figures that he has a $4,000 year
employee who isn't costing him much
more than her board and lodging,

Is This Your Town?

A fly one day in hungry mood
Began TO search around for food,
And coming TO a grocery store.
Ii flew right through the unscreened
door.
II seemed to know the place quite
well;
Perhaps it knew the way by smell.
II got its breakfast before long
Within the closet next door,
And where a typhoid carrier stayed
Who every day visit made.
And left exeretions in the shack
A filthy hole with open back
And here the fly at peep o day
Went in TO eat as was its way,
And incidently laid some eggs
Within this filth and human dregs.
And from this mess six score would
pass
In half score of days-alas!
A fly has taste, is fond Of sweets.
And when a savory dish il meets,
II yomits what II ate before,
And then begins TO eat some more,
Ii may alight on your dessert,
And vomit there-ah, does il hurt?
Stand in a store and look around,
And soon the filthy pest is found
Promenading on the fruit
In an unscreened boX-the brutel
Sugars sweet, and there il goes,
And there il stays till time TO close.
Can one who sells such food as TIN
Fer claim that he is not remiss?
As sure as God in heaven lives.
A mans a murderer If be gives
Infected food TO mar OF child
To close that store sentence mild!
And yet disease and death are spread.
And not a single word is said:
And if there is a law for such.
II surely can't amount TO much.
Disease and death may claim the
street
Where towards live who have cold
feet
And what is said above is true;
You know ii is, what will you do?
"A dirty town il is" they say.
And others are the same old way"
Is your reply-you let IL rest,
And nothin's done to fight the pest

Libcrtys Range a Full Point.

Liberty 3las repeated yesterday some
of their unusual movements of last week.
their prices covering a range of almost
full point. At their maximum quota
ton they were fully three points above
the-lowest level of the last ten days, a
swing so extraordinary in a Government
issue as to cause considerable comment.
Evidently speculation has been active,
first for the fall, and In the last day or
two for the rise. the original sales for
the short account having a basis i'm ex-
peotations that changes of the income
tax law would come up soon for discus
sion ) in Washington. But the market
believes that extensive liquidation has
occtirred TO degree more pronounced
than speculative sales. which may have
been connected with the need of corpora
tionS and individuals for funds to meet
income taxes on June is. The 3hs
sold, yesterday from $3.50 down to Ss.1s
and then proceeded straight upward to
ss,1o. Toward the close 40 cents 500
was Topped off the top price. The Vic
tory ANS were less active than they
were on Thursday. Corporation bonds
did very little in their price changes and
their turnover was rather small.
