A FISH STOET.
An Oregon Rancher Say. Carp Eat BU
Meadow Oral.
A rancher, whose place is on tte bot
tom alnz the Wi'.liamette slough, be
low Holbrook station, was In the city
yesterday to find out whether he bad
any recourse against the United Sta'ei
Fish Commission for the lntroJuc.lon
c carp into the rivers In this section.
He says tht fifh are destroying hl
meadows by eating his grass and grub
bing up the roots. As the water over
Cows his meadows the carp follow it
up in thouian is, the small ones, weigh
ing about three pounds, pushing their
way up where the water is only three
Inches or so in depth and clearing oil
all vegetation, so that when the water
recedes he will have mud flats In the
place of meadows. He says that while
looking at the fish eating his grass cn
Sundays te got so mad that he took
off his shoes and stockings and went
out into the shallow water and attack
ed them with a hoe. He slashed a lot
of them in two. but when the drove be
came alarmed, and made for deep water
they bumped their noses against his
shins and came near knocking him ofl
his feet, and his ankles are all black
and blue from the thumping he sot. As
for driving the carp away, he say. he
might as well have tried to sweep back
the rise of the Columbia with a broom.

A Pie for th. Inonrenta.
My trembling hands must write 8
freest against the slaughter of the in
nocents. I quote from a writer in Flor
ida: "The birds are killed at the sea
son of the year when they are rearing
their young. On passing the rookeric
where the hunters had been a few
days previous, the screams and calls of
the starving young birds were pitiful
to hear. Some were Just fledged while
others were so young that they could
make but little noise. But all must in
evitably starve to death. I cannot de
scribe the horror it gave me to hear
the pitiful screams of the dying little
blrdB. If every woman who wears
birds could hear those cries the work
would soon cease. Xo Christian should
ever carry a grave upon her head, even
If made of lace and silk. They come
and sing no more. Their wings, heads
and whole bodies in countless thou
sands have been sold for ornaments to
gratify female pride and vanity. We
never see a lady's bonnet bordered with
the carcases or wings of the slaughter
ed songsters of the forests that It does
not remind us of the coffin and the
sepulchre." Does any woman imagine
these withered corpses are beautiful?
Not so; the birds lost their beauty
with their lives. "Blessed are tbe
merciful." I think so much of this
paper that I feel sure it is as anxious
as I am to see the dear little songsters
preserved and without arsenic. Mrs.
Maria S. Crocker.
Summer Vacation In Winter.
I would like to tell the Tablers a
good way to enjoy their summer vaca
tion In the winter. At least, we have
tried it and enjoy it very much. While
on your vacation, gather flowers, ferns,
etc., from the different places you visit,
press and label as you gather them, and
take them home with you. Provide
yourself with a stiff-covered notebook
and a bottle of mucilage. -Some cold,
stormy day In winter, when perhapB
you are f'-elir.g dull or blue, take out
your notebook and mucilage, get pen
and Ink, spread your souvenirs on the
table before you. see that the room is
warm and comfortable, and you are
ready for a pleasant afternoon. Fasten
your first flower or fern Into your note
book and describe the place and cir
cumstances of the time In which you
picked it. V.'ith the second flower do
the same, and so ou as long as you
like or have time. As you thus recall
the pleasures of your vacation you will
be living thein over again, and tbe
sturm, the cold or the blues will be for
gotten. When flnl&hed, your book
raiikes a nice souvenir to lock at any
tims. Ph ase try this and report next
winter. One of Ten Daughters.

these elephants V asked the reporter.
"I've bad m three years." replied
the keeper. "Been training 'em steady
all that time."
"Do you have to be sever with
them?"
"Always. If ever you let an elephant
get the upper hand of you Just Once
you're a goner. If you try to boss him
and he finds you're afraid of him, he'll
watch his chance and kill you. Aa
elephant ain't ruled by love."

"Oh, yes. He knows If he goes
through his performance without a
break he'll get a tit-bit of some kind,
and If he doesn't he ll get the pitchfork.
And sometimes we have to give him
the pitchfork anyhow."
"Doesn't It require a great deal of
patience to train ad elephant?"
"Now you're talking, young man. It
lake more patience than anything else
in this world. An elephant Is a mighty
smart animal, but he's tricky. When
you think you've got him all right he'll
take a wrong shoot, and you have to
do it all over again. Patience? You

A friend of mine who writes stories
the other day had an order for a piece
of work to be finished in a great hur
ry. He dashed Into it head first, and
that night read his Introduction to the
family in the dining room for the ben
efit of domestic criticism. A servant
was clearing the table during the read
ing, and when his wife visited the
kitchen afterward she asked:
"Sure, did that fellow find that girl
Mr. Smith was tellin' yez about?"
"Mr. Smith will make him find her,"
the author's wife replied, and then
something in the servant's manner led
her to think the girl regarded it as a
veritable occurrence. So she added:
"You know that Is only a made-up
story; there were no such people."
"What! Mr. Smith made that up
.out of his head?"
"Certainly."
"And he never seen that girl at all?"
"There was no such girl to see."
The devout daughter of Erin reflect
ed a moment. Then she exclaimed:
"Sure. Mr. Smith will never get to
heaven If he goes around makln' up big
lies like that," Brooklyn Life.

He fixed a passionate, yearning gaze

"I am about to buy a wheel," he said,
"and I have come to you at this crisis
in my life to ask your advice upon a
matter that is more to me than life It
self." For the first time since she become
accustomed to wearing bloomers a gen
tle bluBh suffused her cheeks, for she
realized what was coming.
"Speak!" she said, and her breath
came in abbreviated bloomers.
"Would you or would you not advise
me to get a tandem?" he asked, and it
was easy to see that his whole future
was bound up In the question.
Her eyes rested on the ground aa she
answered softly: "Get one."
"Darling," he cried Joyously, and for
a minute or two their heads were so
close together that it was Impossible

which was hers.

TEE LATE BILLKfE.
Characteristic ol One of Our Creates!
Native Humorists.
When Bill Nye went to the New
York irltf, he was offered $150 a
week. "I had to use a great deal of
persuasion, said Colonel Cockerill
in speaking of it afterward, ' to get
him to take up his abode in New
York and become a regular member
of the World staff. He was afraid of
the big city. He thought that his
homely humor would not be appre
ciated here, and that he would lose his
touch with things rural. I convinced
him that the metropolis was made up
of country born men, :,and that our
active, potential citizens loved the
smell ol dog fennel, the hum of the
bee and the sweet incense of the hay
mow on wet days.
" Nye never cared much about his
personal appearance. He wore clothes
simply to cover him, he said, and it
was true. Some persons might think
that Nye was a peculiarly fortunate
man. It is a fact that he was the
victim of many misfortunes. Soon
after he began to make money by his
writings he was afflicted with spinal
meningitis, which was epidemic at the
time. He had just recovered and
had gone to Wisconsin, where he was
visiting his brother, when he was
caught out in a cyclone and almost
killed. About both misfortunes he
wrote in such a humorous manner
that those who did not know him
personally think to this day that he
was merely romancing. The incidents
were serious realities, however. He
used to explain his lack of hair by
saying ' that the spinal meningitis
loosened the roots and that when the
cyclone came along his hair was blown
off with the leaves. On another oc
casion he seriously assured an inquirer
that his head grew faster than his hair.
Then he was confined to a hospital
for a long time with kidney trouble,
and was shipwrecked about a year
ago in the Betraudas. Both incidents
served as topics for humorous articles.

Coie Erothers Find a Coal ilice.
A dispatch from Beaver MeaJow
says that by mere chance Coxe Bros.,
& Co., recover a property wor'.h
millions of dollars. In 1853 the o'J
Temperance mine at this place wis
set on fire by an explosion and three
lives were lost. The maps were lost
and all traces of the ramifications of
the opening was lost. The r.i;r.e was
filled with water and has since bcea
closed. Many thousands cf dollars
have been spent in endeavoring to
find the underground extension with
out success. Coxe ten years ago
proposed tunneling the Quakake
Mountain to reach it but the project,
which would cost millions, was aban
doned. Since his death the company
took the matter up, and recently ar
ranged to carry out the scheme.
Meanwhile the Cross Creek Coal Co.
and YanWickle & Co. were on oppos
ite sides of the flooded mine.
The searching party carried bore
holes ahead of them to avoid a catas
trophe. Last Sunday superintendent
Kudlich directed his men to put a
hole through the roof of the gangway.
To their utter astonishment they ran
into the long lost mine after drilling
five feet The men had to run for
their lives from the water which
already flooded Beaver Meadow anJ
Coleraine, and the mine will Le clear
ed in a short time.
The terrible risk that !us kn
taken is only now appreciated, but
the bright prospects for the commun
ity percludes any censure.
