A Scheme With Beat Estate Trimming * That Won In Oregon. "Speaking of schools in relation to politics , " said the ex-boomer from Oregon gen , "always reminds me of a campaign in which I was interested some years ago. The Douglas county representative in the Oregon state legislature , realiz ing that his popularity woz not exceed ingly great , had been talking of build ing a new state normal school , presum ably at Boseburg , the county seat and his own home. This caused great con sternation among the 350 inhabitants of the little city of Drain , who had been profiting by the courtesy title of 'Drain Academy aud Oregou State Normal school , ' uuder which the school there had beeu run since 1885. The postmas ter , who kept a drug store aud sold school supplies , took counsel with his sister-in-law. who dealt in millinery and ran a boarding house for students , and she sought the mayor , at whose general merchandise emporium she was the principal customer. "The mayor was a man who thought slowly , but to a purpose , and , having set himself the task of devising some way of circumventing the member from Roseburg. he passed the next three days in profound cogitation. He con ceived a scheme whose various elabora tions and ramifications were too diver sified for him to handle alone , and he came to me for help I had just gained considerable influence in the " county through backing a projected railroad to the coast , aud also as a real estate deal er and sawmill owner. With my busi ness methods aud the mayor's knowl edge of the conditions confronting us our plans were soon put into operation. First , we suggested the candidacy of an ambitious young Drainite , a dealer in leather goods and hardware , for member - ber of the legislature , taking all the wind out of his opponent's sails by heartily indorsing the talk iii favor of a new normal school. Meantime we had a largo grain field of the mayor's , which had begun to lose its fertility on ac count of overcultivatiou , surveyed into city lots , and as soon as our candidate had received the regular party nomina tion we put the town site of East Drain , with its streets named after conspicuous men of the state , on the market and gave one of its centrally located blocks for the new normal school. " Well , everything came to pass ex actly as we had planned. Our candidate was elected , and the building of the new normal school on the site we gave was authorized. We sold a sufficient num ber of East Drain lots to more than pay for the laud , and all expenses. The con tractors on the new school were men who had aided the legislation authoriz ing it , and they got their supplies from the mayor , their hardware from the member and their lumber from me. My mill also supplied lumber for other buildings in East Drain , including a new boarding house for the milliner , who has prospered ever since. The post master's increased business soon war ranted his moving into one of the two brick buildings in the city of Drain , and the former dealer in leather goods and hardware is still member of the Oregon legislature. " New York Sun. ' * Duration of Human Life. That the human being was intended for greater length of life than is usually attained in our artificial existence is probable from the fact that he does not reach his full and complete development until his twenty-fifth year The life of most of the low animals is reckoned to be about five times their maturity in a natural condition , and , although dis turbing causes interfere with human life in the present day , yet within cer tain limits man is subject to the same laws as every other type of existence in either the animal or the vegetable king dom. dom.Nature Nature has assigned to'him a certain period during which he should attain tea a sound physical and mental maturity , and any attempt to curtail that period by early forcing is aud must be neces sarily productive of lamentable results. The boy or girl may be developed under a system of steady "cramming" into a highly accomplished mau or woman , long before full age has been reached , but it may bo accepted as an axiom in almost all instances that the earlier the development the earlier the decay The lesson to be learned from the records of those who have lived to advanced years is that moderation in all things , whether physical or intellectual , is the secret of long life , and that it is easy by system atically violating this rule to produce an artificial old age. Nineteenth Century A Friendly Bar Examination. A Georgia correspondent sends us this account of a young man's oral examina tion for the bar by a local committee before an old judge , who was also an old acquaintance of the candidate. Be- ingasked. "Whatis arsonr" he scratch ed his head and finally said , " 1 believe that's pizou , ain't it ? " On this the old judge , to help him out , says : "Tut , tut , Jim. Suppose 1 were to set fire to your house and burn it dowu , what would that be ? " With quick and emphatic reply Jim says , " 1 think it would be a dad dratted mean trick ' But although this answer was not technically accurate Jim was in the hands of his friends and was honorably admitted.

Laura Pickering of Gerver pre cinct was a recent visitor in this vicinity. The Sunday-school at Coleman school-house will have a Christ mas tree. Ed. VauHorn pulled out , last December , and went to Kansas. He is back now aud satisfied to stay. Quite a number have been eo busy sowing wheat and rye that they have not commenced to pick corn yet. There is preaching regularly every two weeks in the Coleman school house at 3 o'clock p. in. , fast time. Mrs. John Beach and son Tom visited with Mrs. William Cole- mau , Saturday , coming down from Hayes county. Mrs. William Divine and daugh ter , who went to Oklahoma in Au gust , have returned , Elmer Divine coming with them. Singing-school at the Coleman school-house has opened with twen ty-five scholars. A singing-school was organized at the school-house in district 65 , last Friday evening , with seventeen members. Uncle William ploughed twelve acres of land in four days , recently , with two horses and a fourteen-inch plow , and it wasn't a riding plow either. Three acres a day is good work these short days , especially for a man who is sixty years of age. There was a social in the schoolhouse - house of district 58 , one night re cently , in which cakes , sandwiches and pickles played a particularly particular part. The price was ten cents and the proceeds pro vided curtains for the windows. The teacher , Anna Irvin , hung the curtains. Mrs. H. B. Wales has a birth day every year. It came on the 30th day of November this year. She was not much surprised , as it had often come before on that date , but when , about half past seven p. m. , the door yard sud denly filled up with teams , men , women , boys and girls , she was completely surprised , as she had not the least idea of such a sur prise being planned. About twen ty-five gathered to express their good will and best wishes. The visitors brought an abundance of good things for the inner man , and it was midnight before they started for home. Mrs. Wales will long remember the evening of November - ber 30th , 1897. A little child of J. R. Hays , living near Col quitt , Georgia , overturned a pot of boiling 1 water , scalding itself so severely that the skin came off its breast and limbs. The distressed parents sent to Mr. Bush , a merchant of Col1 1 quitt , for a remedy , and he promptly forwarded - ; ed Chamberlain's Pain Balm. The child was suffering intensely , but was relieved by a ' single application of Pain Balm. Another . application or two made it sound and well. For sale by L. W. McConnell.
