Out in n certain town in Oregon the Indians make a living in the season by gathering huckleberries on the adjacent moun tains, bringing them down and peddling them from house to house. Always, heretofore, the standard price for huckleberries has been a dollar for four quarts. But last fall the copper-colored venders all at once, and all of a sudden, put the price up to a dollar and a quarter. A thrifty housewife, making a purchase from a ragged buck, was moved to question the fairness of the advance. "Aren't huckleberries just as plentiful as in former years, Big Joe?" she asked. With a grunt he admitted that the huckleberry crop. was bountiful. ''Well, they aren't any harder to pick than they used to beware they?" she pressed. "No." > loss this summer.

One day while meditating outside the city of Tiensien, Confucius noticed a woman weeping bitteFlv beside a fresh grave which she was fanning vigorously. Touched by her evident grief, he said: "O sorrowful one, what is your trouble?" "Your honorable excellency, my husband is dead." "No doubt he was a good husband and vou are to be pitied, but why are vou fanning his grave?" "Exalted one," replied the woman, and her voice was choked with sobs, ''my husband made me promise not to marry again until his grave was dry."?Selected. tWWWVWiW J \ ?

Cit Gaffncy Ledger We saw the other flay a longleged, pursillanimous caricature of a boy, aged about sixteeen or seventeen years, kick a poor dog violently in the ribs because the poor canin e fawned upon him a little, asking him for sympathy. It is our prediction that this boy will come to some bad end. He has not in his whole system enough human kindness to en able him to live through the space of a natural life. This boy would strike the mother that brought him into the world just as readily as he struck the poor dog. We do not know his name and we hope never to see him again for the reason thai if we did we would be impelled to ad minister to him the same treatment which he accorded to his superior on the occasion above referred to.
