SHOOTING A SALMON.

It Was Mighty Exciting Evn if ttw Fish Did Escapa. Uncle Ken Brown was one of the earliest settle s in Oregon. He was rn intelligent man with a keen sense o humor, and his tales of pioneer day always drew an interested audience. This story is one of the most popular: "There used to be lots of Indians op. the Rogue river when I came here. And they sometimes did mighty queer things. There is a place above Gobi Hill called the Dardanelles, where tho river rushes between steep rocks, with a big. quit pool below. "I was camped at the Dardanelles in. T:,. and one evening a packer came along, going south. An Indian was there with his canoe. He'd been sittin? on a stone for an hour or more without moving, watching (he big salmon that kept shooting out of the pool, upending like a stick of cord wood anc then plunging bac k into the water. No doubt he was thinking how good a liieak off one of those salmon would taste. The packer soon made a barpain with the Indian to take him over. "The Indian piled most of the pack in the front of the canoe and took his neat in the middle. The white man sat behind and towed his horse at the end of a lariat. The packer had an old, fat barreled, sawed off musket, called s. 'yauger,' that the Indian laid across the pack in front of him. Halfway across he stopped paddling and squinted down into the water. He saw a monster salmon right under the canoe. Grunting 'Skookuni salmon!' he dropped the paddle and, grabbing up the

yruiger, rammed it into the water up to the locks, took aim and discharged it. "I guess he didn't know that he couldn't blow a hole in the Rogue river with a gun without startling results. The canoe turned over like a flash. Tieces of the old yauger went twenty feet into the air. The Indian and th white man both disappeared. Presently the packer came up and began to swim around, trying to collect his poads, sputtering and making severely critical remarks about Indians in general. "The Indian didn't come up for some time. When he did it was near the foot of the pool. His face was covered with blood. In two plunges he made fshore on the other side of the foot of the rapids, rushed up the bank and stopped a moment to brush the wet hair hurriedly out of his eyes. Then, with one dazed look in my direction, he exclaimed. 'Iloosh. hoosh!' and dived into the brush. lie must have thought that the salmon or the gun or the river was bewitched, for I never saw him again on Rogue river. So far as I know, the salmon was uninjured." Youth's Companion.

Force of Habit. In New York, during the old Bohemian days of Ada Clare, Harry f'lHpp. George Arnold, William Winter ami the rest, Nat Urner. the novelist, knew every bohemian and had got so iiswl to pathetic tales of personal distress that whenever he met a man he unconsciously assumed that man to be in hard luck. Meeting Frank Patton one day, he said to him, "Well, how are you. my dear boy?" "First rate." hh'hI Patton: "got an editorial position, pot a good wife, got a bank account. nd everything is lovely." "Well," nn'ul Arnold, "never mind, old fellow. Cheer up, cheer up."

A Prtumptuou Teacher. A public school teacher on the downtown, east side, in New York city, had a pupil so persistently unruly that It became necessary to write to the child's father. This the teacher did in the

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. What has become of the eight hour law? And the woman's minimum wage measure ? Are they lost, buried in committee, railroaded to pigeon-holes or disposed of in other of the various ways known to the canny legislator? The attempt to make the public think the women wage earners of the

state are opposed to these laws, or proposed laws, is a failure. It was said in this city, in instance,

that the girls who work in the laund-1

rles preferred a nine hour day. i

That the girls had so stated. i If you really want to get an opinion ! on this subject, go to the girls. Not the employer. An employer will skim off the top and hand it out as the whole thing. When the truth is he has just skimmed the top and hasn't disturbed the foundation. The girls in the laundries of this city are, according to the observation of the most casual, over-worked. An hour at noon is given for lunch. But when they go on at one they have to continue until all the work is out. Whether it is five o'clock or eight. And they do not get off for supper until they are through. This entails, as everybody knows, continuous standing and working of the machinery with the foot. The writer is not acquainted with the technical details. But this much is known to the general public. There is nothing that is as fatigueing and injurious as standing. It is especially bad for women. And when, in addition, vou must keep your foot in motion, and engage in the business of ironing all sorts of garments the result is obvious. Some of these young women are married and after the fatigues of the afternoon go home and prepare a family meal. The writer understands the difficulties of employers. Especially of those who do not operate on a small scale. And who must meet the demands of their customers. It is the demands of the customers,

after all, in which the difficulty lies. The shirt must be there by a certain hour or the owner will threaten loss of patronage. The petticoat must be handed in at the appointed time or mademoiselle will change her laundry. The fact is that the public has very littlt mercy on the employer. He, in turn, has little on the employe. When reduced to the last analysis it is the public that is the offender. If there were laws regulating hours of labor as there are, of course, in many instances the public would have to accomodate itself to them. And it would soon readjust itself to the new condition. For nothing lasts long. There is always growling and grumbling over changed social conditions. But it is inevitable people soon forget, accustom themselves to the new habit of procedure and go on to something new. Laundry labor is abused in this city. But if there were an eight hour law which regulated and restricted, all employers would be put on the same basis and the public would be compelled to abide by the new order. Herein is the benefit of labor legislation. It becomes part of the social fabric. We get used to it, and, after a time, lose consciousness of the contrast with the former state. The public demands too much. The employer strains to keep up and imposes on the employe in so doing. The whole world rushes on pell mell to obhvion. What boots it if the shirt is not ready on the moment? If the petticoat comes in the next morning?

all. It is this phase of human vagary that makes havoc of the marriage relation and strains the ties of blood. It can't be laughed away. It exists. And it is one of the most sardonic and vivid realities of life. Although life has no reality as reality is understood by the average. The unreality of life imposes itself more and more on the individual as It flits away. Therefore the absurdity of many of our social laws and customs.

To return there is no discounting j

the importance of the eight hour law for women. Nor the minimum wage scale. Both measures will be stubbornly fought. Because they touch private interest. And when you touch private interest you have touched the sensitive economic nerve. In common parlance people will "do anything for money." One of the amusing phases of the Sunday amusement agitation is the

CARD OF THANKS. Thanks to the many friends for the kindness shown to us during the ill ness and death of our husbaml and father, also to the K. of P. Lodge and the Metropolitan Insurance Company for their kindness. Mrs. Anna Jackson and Daughter.

The records show that the ceremony was performed by Judge Meek

; and the license was granted to them ' March 11 of the same year. The records are now aged and time worn. The names are scarcely discernable.

A peculiar feature of this marriage was the then uncommon proceeding of a divorce which followed soon after the marriage was recorded. The book in which it is recorded Is not more than ten inches long nor eight inches wide. Only marriage licenses were recorded in this book.

Monroe, 'Wis. "When my baby wae eiz weeks old there came a rash on his face which finally spread until it got nearly all over his body. It formed a crust on his bead, hair fell out and the Itch was terrible. When he would scratch the crust the water would ooze out In big drops. On face and body It was In a. dry form and would scale off. Be was in great misery and at nighte I would lay awake holding his hands so that he could not scratch and disfigure himself. I tried simple remedies at first, then got medicine, but it did no good. Finally a friend suggested Cuticura Remedies, so I sent for a sample to see what they would do, when to my surprise after a few applications I could seeaa improvement, and be would rest better. I bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and a cake of Cuticura Soap and before I had them half used my baby was cured. Bis head is now covered with a luxuriant growth of hair and his complexion la admired by everybody and has no disfigurements. I hope other mothers will profit by my experience and not be worn out with poor babies who are tortured with akin and scalp affections." (Signed) Mrs. Annie Saunders, Sept. 29, 1911. .
