COUVALLIS, BEATON COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1889.

Print Newspaper in Eenton County er CurvaUi

The Germans of the United

States have selected October 6th

as the day of the landing of the

first German in this country, and

propose hereafter to celebrate

it.

A young lady of Columbus, Ga.,

has made a crazy quilt out of

Louisiana state lottery tickets that

failed to "connect" with the prize

wheel. The numbers are worked

in silk of beautiful colors.

A French physician reports

.cases in which the usual incuba

tion period of measles twelve to

fourteen days seems to have

been considerably exceeded. In

two cases the disease appeared at

least twenty .days alter expous

ure, and in the third case in nine

teen days.

A published card thanking their

friends for their services in the

sickness and death of a relative is

decidedly out of taste, says the

Chicago Inter Ocean, and is now

followed only in the back-woods

countries. If a man's friend can

not wait on him in sickness and

bury him after death without be

ing publicly thanked for it, they

are very poor friends indeed.

Oommon humanity should teach

all people to visit the sick and

bury the dead, w-thout any ex

jactation of reward or a display of

gratitude through the columns of

a newspaper.

: Burning and Itching-

I was sick in the fall of 1SSS with a burn

ing and itching so bad that iu three weeks

was covered with a rash, and .could uot

sleep nights or Work days. Home doctors

thought it might be spit rheum (eczema),

audsaid they had never seen anything like

it before. I received no help from any of

them, or from any medicine that I could

pet hold of until I tried your Cuticura

Remedies. After thiee weeks' use I was

able to work, and kept getting better, until

I am now entirely cured. 1 recommend

them to all suffering with skin dise-i3es.

Most Intense Itching

I have used the Cuticura Remedies suc

THE FRONT GATE.

An old and crippled gate am I,

And twenty years have passed

Since I was hung up high and dry

Betwixt these posts so fast;

But now I've grown so powerful weak

Despised by man and beast

I'm Scarcely strong enough to squeak,

Although I'm never greased.

'Twas twenty years ago, I say,

When Mr. Enos White

Came kind o' hanging round my way

'Most every other night.

He hung upon my starboard side

And she upon the other,

Till Susan Smith became his bride,

And in due time a mother.

I groaned intensely when I heard

Despite I am no churl

My doom breathert in a single word;

The baby was a girl!

Aud as she grew and grew and grew,

I loud bemoaned my fate;

For she was very fair to view,

And I I was the gate.

Then in due time a lover came,

Betokening my ruin,

A dapper fellow, Brown by name,-

The grown-up baby wooin.

They sprang upon me in the gloam,

And talked of moon and star?

They're married now and live at homo

Along with ma and pa.

My lot was happy for a year,

No courting night or day

I had no thought, I had no fear,

Bad luck would come my way.

But Oh! this morning, save the mark!

There came a wild surprise,

A shadow flitted, grim aud dark.

Across my sunny skies.

A doctor, with a knowing smile,

A nurse with face serene,

A bustle iu the house the while,

Great Scott! what can it mean?

My hinges ache; my back is weak,

My pickets in a whirl;

1 hear that awful doctol speak;

4 It is auother girl.

Burdette en Women.

What would I do

it I

were a

woman?

I wouldn't try to be a man.

Cut that out and paste it on your

looking-glass, daughter, and it will

bean ornament of grace unto thy

head and chains about thy neck

many times a day.

I wouldn't shudder and groan,

every time the name of the

Monster was? mentioned, but I

would studiously avoid acquiring

the lightest of his many ac

complishments and the best of his

manifold ways.

I would neverlearu to lay a fire

in range or fireplace.' Every time

I touched a fire, summer or winter,

I would put it dead out. Then I

would never be expected to make

one.

The first loaf of bread I baked I

would let drop on .the dog and

kill him. Then I'd never be asked

to bake bread again, and I'd get a

new dog.

When I descended into the

laundry, I would manage to bring

out all the fancy flannels white as

gnosis, ana an tne while skirts as

blue as the skies of June. Then

I'd never be asked to assist at the

washtub again.

I would pinch "every baby that

was given me to hold, black and

blue in halt a dozen places before

it could catch its breath enough to

shriek, and I would frighten - the

life or tease the temper out of

anybody's children whom ; I wras

asked to amuse. Then I'd never

be troubled with other people's

young ones, and nobody would

never ask me to teach the infant

class while the tired teacher took

a vacation.

If I had to sit on the front seat

when asked to drive, I would carry j

a large . sun umbrella and gouge

the driver's eyes out and - iuu the

team into a fence corner the rst

mile out. Then I'd get the back

seat on tha shady side every time

afterward.

I would always sit sideways in a

street car. Then I would have

plenty of room.

I would wear a carriage dress in

the street car if I had no other

place to show it off.

I would smash something choice

and expensive every time I ; swept

Children Cry for;

Pitcher's Castcria.

a room or dusted a parlor.

Then

such

I'd never be asked to do

work.

In church I would never

rise

during the singing and never

kneel during prayers. Then peo

ple would notice me and say,

''Who is that pretty girl with such

lovely eyes?" '

At the theatre I-would wear the

biggest hat obtainable.

At cricket and lawn-tennis

matches I would sit in the front

row and raise my parasol.

I would cultivate such chaiming

helpless, such hopeless innocence,

such pretty, childish ignorance,

such fascinating dependence, such

dainty baby ways that people

would say, "Oh, we must take

care ot her, she doesn't - under

stand these things." Then all my

life long I would be petted and

coddled and fondled and cared for

in a thousand different way, where

more independent women have to

'hustle" for themselves.

jjiat is, daughter, if other

women would care for such a

sweet little bit ot helplessness.

Maybe they would. You know

better than I do how women re

gard that sort of a woman.

But, you can gamble your peace

of mind, your love of ease and all

your enjoyments of life that the

Monster Man wouldn't torment

the solitude of such a woman with

his presence longer than a day or

t wo, and she would thus be spared

one ot the greatest annoyances to

which mankind is subjected.

A GOOD "MORREL" TOWN.

A Boston woman wrote to the

mayor of a new town in Wyoming,

asking him for information regard

ing the state of society in his town,

as she contemplated going there

for the benefit of the health of her

children. On receiving liis reply

she concluded to remain in Boston

for awhile longer. The mayor

wrote:

"As for sowciety, it is bang up.

This is a mity morrel town, con

sidering that there's sixty-nine

saloons to a popylation of "2,000.

But every saloon has a sign up

saying: 'All fitin' must be done

outside. No killin' allowed in

This Room.' Two men has been

killed since Monday and to-morrow

is Wednesday. Cheating at gam

bling is punishedby lynching and

every effort is being made to

put the town on a good moral

basis. Ladies is universslly re

spected and I sell them beer at

half price when they buy at my

place. There is a grand sacred

concert and free dance here ev'ry

Sunday night, and preaching every

Sunday that the pastor don't have

ter stay to home on account of the

big rush at his Bowling Alley.

Don't hezzitate about coming here

on account of sawciety. This is a

morrel town.".

HE MADE THE FIRST THIMBLE.

There is a rich family of the

name of Lofting in England, the

fortune of "whose house was found

ed by such an apparently insig

nificant thing as a thimble. The

first ever 6een in England was

made in London less than two

hundred years ago by a metal

worker named John Lofting. The

usefulness of the article com

mended it at once to all who used

the needle, and Lofting acquired a

large fortune. The implement

was then called the thumbell, it

being worn on the thhmb when in

use, and its shape suggesting the

rest, of the name. This clumsy

mode of utilizing it soon, changed,

however, but the name, softened

into thimble remains. Public

Opinion.

i

A TRILLION KISSES.

The case of the Florida man

who had his love letters produced

and read in court should teach

other lovers moderation in the

matting of osculatory contracts.

In a single postscript the

Florida man undertook to deliver

to the lady of his choice no less

than 1,000,000,000,000 kisses.

And as such contracts are not in

frequently made in love letters, it

may be well to give a thought to

the magnitude of the undertaking,

sa3rs the Boston Globe.

Whoever will take the trouble

to figure it out will find that, even

if this amorous southerner should

give the lady 15,000 kisses a min

ute (and we affirm that no person

could hope to-do more than that),

and even if he could keep up this

rate of osculation twenty-four

hours a day, never pausing to eat,

sleep or take breath, working 365

days every year, it would take

him more than 100 years to com

plete the contract; and by that

time, it is painful to reflect, the

ardor of his love may have cooled

Even at the age of 100 years,

counting 15,000 kisses a minute,

there would remain an undelivered

balance of more than 200,000,-

000,000, a number which in itself

might well appall the most indus

trious.

CONSUMPTION OF TIMBER.

To make shoe pegs enough for

American use consumes annually

100,000 cords of timber, and to

make lucifer matches, 300,000

cubic feet of the best pine are re

quired every year. Lasts and

boot-trees take 500,000 cords of

birch, beech and maple, and the

handles of tools 500,000 more. The

baking of bricks consumes 2,000,

000 cords of wood, or what would

cover with forest about 50,000

acres of land. Telegraph poles

already up represent 800,000 trees,

and their annual repairs consume

annually thirty years' growth of

75,000 acres and to fence all the

railroads in the United States

would cost $45,000,000 with a

yearly expenditure of $15,000,000

for repairs. These are some of the

ways 'which American forests are

going. There are others: packing

boxes, tor instanee, costs in 1874

$12,000,000, while the timber used

each year in making wagons and

agricultural implements is valued

at more than one hundred mil

lion dollars.

AN UNFORTUNATE WINNER.

Carl Hendricks arrived in Port

land on Saturday last from New

Orleans, en route for Victoria. B.

B., in a very unhappy frame of.

mind, at which none will wonder.

Early last month he bought .a

quarter ticket in the Louisina lot

tery: the number that drew the

capital prize, which entitles him to

$75,000. After buying the ticket

he thought no more of it till he

boarded the train for- the- north

west, and glancing over a paper

containing the list of drawings, he

found that he was the winner of a

handsome fortune, but when he

came tc-iook for his ticket it was

gone, and up to this - moment has

been unable to find it. While re

lating his misfortune to a reporter

his eyes glistened wilh gathering

tears. He said, "Anyone having

the ticket in his possession can col

lect the , money, and there is no

probability that I will ever get a

dollar out of my luck."

Children Cry for

Pitcher's Castoria.

Mrs. Dart's

President Cleveland's Prize for the three best babies at the Aurora County Fair, in 1887, was

flven to these triplets, Mollie, Ida, and Ray, children of Mrs. A. K. Dart, Hamburgh, N. Y.

he writes : " Last August the little ones became very sick, and as I could get no other food

that would agree with them, I commenced the use of Lactated Food. It helped them imme

diately, and they were soon as well as ever, and I consider it very largely due to the Food

that they are now so well." Lactated Food is the best Food for bottle-led babies. It keeps

them well, and is better than medicine when they are sick. Three sizes : 25c., 50c, 81 00.
