United States Depository PORTLAND, OREGON, SATURDAY, JUNE 23. 1906. NEWS OF THE WEEK In a Condensed Form for Busy Readers. HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS A Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Events of the Past Week. The peasant revolt is growing in Southern Russia. English woman suffragists have been arrested for rioting. Fresh mutinies have occurred in several big Russian garrisons. Bryan says his kind of conservatism were he president would be to destroy the trusts utterly. The passage of the lock canal bill by the senate is considered a personal victory for Roosevelt. Idaho is asking or information regarding the insurance companies which refuse to pay their San Francisco losses in full. A bulletin just issued by the census bureau shows that there are 83 manufacturing concerns in Alaska with a capitalization of $10,000,000. Los Angeles physicians have just removed the heart of a man and after washing it replaced the organ. The patient's chances of recovery are good. In an accident the prong of a wooden rake pierced the man's breast, carrying in dirt which lodged on the heart. The United States has a lower death rate than any country in Europe except Norway and Sweden, according to a bulletin issued by the Census bureau. Consumption is far in the lead as the cause of death, but this disease has shown a decrease of nearly 40 per cent in the past six years. The Corean revolt is spreading. Japan plans to monopolize the trade of the Orient. Fire at Los Angeles destroyed a block in the wholesale district. A number of Russian newspapers have been suppressed for printing news of the Bialystok massacre. It is expected that the Italian enrmment will soon issue an order for the complete exclusion of American canned meats. Count Witte expresses the opinion that the Russian douma is becoming revolutionary in its character. He also says the Jews have brought their troubles on themselves. A submarine eruption recently threw up a small island near Borsolov, an island in Alaskan waters. Borsolov was uphheaved in the same way 100 years ago and another small island in 1882. Dr. W. T. Harris, commissioner of education, has tendered his resignation to the president and the latter has announced the appointment of Dr. Elmer E. Brown, professor of education at the California university, as his successor. Revolutionary feeling is spreading in Russia. Tobacco trust officials have been indicted for conspiracy. Evidence is being found that Dreyfus was convicted by forgery. California is pushing the fight on "six-bit" insurance companies. The president and house committee have agreed on a meat inspection bill. The Hermann land case trial at Portland is expected to take place the first f July. The Russian nobility will refuse to divide their estates with the peasants in order to prevent a revolution. The 131st anniversary of the battle of Bunker hill was celebrated at Boston, where the day is always regarded as a holiday. A.I. L. Craig, general passenger agent of the O. R. & N., has resigned to take a better position with the Great Northern. William McMurray, of Portland, will likely be Mr. Craig's successor. Presbyterian churches throughout the United States are raising a fund of $300,000 with which to rebuild the edifices of that denomination destroyed by the San Francisco earthquake and fire. Japan has suppressed the outbreak in Corea. Castro will resume the presidency of Venezuela July 5. The army will soon abandon San Francisco relief work. The cxar is preparing for an open revolt in Southern Russia. A Texas negro has been sentenced to the penitentiary for 999 years. AFTER STANDARD OIL. President Decides to Have Criminal Action Begun at Once. Washington, June 22.—Plans to begin immediate criminal prosecutions against officials of the Standard Oil company for violations of the Sherman anti-trust law and prosecution against Standard Oil officials and high officials of railroads for violation of the Elkins rebate law have been completed by the administration, according to information from a high authority tonight. These plans, it is understood, were considered at a mysterious meeting of five cabinet officers at the White House last night which aroused much speculation in all circles today. It is said to have been the intention to keep the master secret for a few days until the department of Justice was ready to strike the initial blow. Wall street, however, which seems to get information from every conceivable source, even when the secret is supposed to be confined to the president and his confidential advisers, got a "tip" today that Standard Oil and the railroads were in for new trouble, and on the strength of this stock tumbled. Reports from New York tonight say that Washington had already heard of the "leak" and that steps had been taken to locate it. A person of high authority declares that the department of Justice, as a result of investigations conducted prior to and since the Garfield report, has enough evidence on hand to secure the conviction of high Standard Oil and railroad officials under both laws under which prosecutions are to be made. PREDICTS MUTINY OF SAILORS Narodny Says Army and Navy Officers and Nobles are Rebels. New York, June 22.—Ivan Narodny, a Russian who came here in the interests of the Revolutionists, said yesterday: "There will be soon a great mutiny in the Baltic fleet at Cronstadt, with vastly more success than the already historic mutiny of the Black Sea fleet. The captains commanding are in sympathy with the revelutionary movement and will declare at the appointed time for reforms. "The army officers' drawn from the noble class are on sympathetic terms with the men from the peasant and artisan classes. The common people and the nobles in Russia are not separated by the gulf that stood between these classes under the ancient regime in France. The nobles throughout Russia, and the gentry, too, are the peasants' closest friends, on the most cordial and friendly footing. The nobles are the backbone of the revolution in neither the bureaucracy is drawn from classes. "It is the system which riots like that at Bialystok. The reason why the bureaucracy stirs up this resentment against the Jews is that they are seen to be an element strong for revolution—radicals." TEST CASE ON INSURANCE. Lawsuit About Earthquake Clause — Lawsuit Unite for Defense. San Francisco, June 22. — Two test cases, brought by two women, who are refugees from San Francisco, against the Palatine Insurance company, of London, England, to recover $600 insurance money, were tried in Justice of the Peace Quinn's court in Oakland yesterday and decided in favor of the plaintiffs. Notice of appeal was given in each case, and the matter will be thrashed out eventually in the superior courts. The defendant company announced its intent to rest its defense on the legality of the "earthquake clause" in the policies. The judge said no evidence had been produced showing that the loss was caused by the earthquake. The several commercial bodies of San Francisco will meet Monday, June 25, to organize a policy holders' protective association for the purpose of securing prompt and fair settlements for their members from the various insurance companies in which they hold policies. Britain Will Not Intercede. London, June 22.—In the house of commons today Walter Runciman, parliamentary secretary to the local government board, in behalf of Foreign Secretary Gray, again declined to inform the government of Russia of the views of the British people concerning the anti-Jewish outbreaks. He said the impression made and the sympathy aroused not only in this country but everywhere by the disturbance and loss of life in Russia were known to the Russian government, and further protests would be useless. Hail Destroys Corn and Fruit. Dallas, Tex.. June 22.—A severe wind, rain and bail storm caused much damage throughout the Brazos river section tonight and has practically destroyed all the growing corn and fruit. Travel on the Texas Pacific railroad be between Dallas and Fort Worth has been suspended because of washouts, and all of the section crews have been called out to repair the damage. MOB ATTACKS JEWS Soldiers Come to the Rescue and Prevent Second Massacre. SOLDIERS MUTINY. KILL OFFICERS Troops Again Control at Bialystok and Government Will Prevent Further Rioting. St. Peterburg, June 21. — Another outbreak at Bialystok Wednesday afternoon was only quelled when troops charged the mob and dispersed it. During the trouble one Jewish woman was killed and another wounded, while several persons were struck with stones and more or less hurt. A further demonstration is feared, and the government has been asked to send additional Cossacks there to cope with the situation. The anti-Jewish rioting at Bialytok is now ended. The troops are in full control, and, in view of the outcry raised, it is certain that the authorities will not permit a renewal of the horrors recently witnessed at Bialytok. The most imperative orders to prevent further outbreaks have been issued to the governors and governor generals from St. Petersburg When the correspondent arrived at Bialytok Sunday morning, the worst was already over, but on all sides was revolting evidence of savage bestiality on the part of the blood-drunken mobs, which sacked and burned the Jewish houses, shops and stores. Over 72 hours, with a slight abatement during the daytime, the mad怒 of blood and pillage went on unchecked. The inhumanity displayed would have done credit to the Mongol hordes of Genghis Khan, in his conquests of China and Central Asia early in the 13th century. APPEAL TO CIVILIZED WORLD. Jews of Russia Cable to Compatriots in All Countries. New York, June 21. — Jacob H. Schiff has received cable messages from abroad asking aid from this country to prevent a general Jewish outbreak in Russia. Dr. Paul Nathan cabled on June 17 from Berlin that Bialystok is but the beginning of systematic massacres similar to those of October, and urging Mr. Schiff to exercise pressure through the United States government and financial circles. Another cablegram reads: "The occurrence at Bialystok is evi scheme, beginning of a terrible can prevent its being incarbonation alone On June 18 the Alliance Unc cabled Mr. Schiff from Paris as follows: "We have received the following from Finland signed by a member of the douma, St. Petersburg: "The awful occurrences at Bialystok signify a new scheme leading to most difficult complications. Intervention on your part alone would prevent disaster." On June 18 Sir Samuel Montague cabled Mr. Schiff from London: "We are seeking intervention of our government. Try yours." STATE WILL SUPPORT CLAIMS. Attorney General to Defend Rights of Losers by Disaster. San Francisco, June 21.—Deputy Attorney General George A. Sturtevant came to San Francisco today to commence the state's fight against the fire insurance concerns that have not lived up to the law. For some hours he was in consultation with Insurance Commissioner Myron Woff. "From now on it will be made the especial business of the attorney general's office," said Mr. Sturtevant, "to prosecute every action by which the state can conserve the rights of the insured who lost property in the great fire. We want the smaller losers, the mechanics and retailers who have become confused in their efforts to receive just treatment from the insurance companies, to feel that they have an office which is fighting their side of the case." Will Not Be Pinned Down. San Francisco, June 21.—Of the 120 insurance companies to which telegrams were sent by Mayor Schmitz and Governor Pardee calling upon them for some outline of their policies relative to the payment of insurance losses in this city, 49 have given answer. The majority of the companies operating here content themselves with the general statement that they will deal fairly with policy holders; that the claims against them will be settled equitably and that the insured can be confident of honorable and just treatment. Wrecked by Big Wind. Chicago, June 21.—One man was fatally injured, four were slightly hurt and the Illinois Steel company's plant at South Chicago was damaged to the extent of $150 000 as the result of a violent rain, wind and hail storm. NO. 9. DISHONEST MORTAR THE CAUSE Japanese Tells How to Make Earth- quake-Proof Buildings. San Francisco, June 20.—"Dishonest mortar—a corrupt conglomeration of sea sand and lime—was responsible for nearly all of the earthquake damage in San Francisco," said Dr. T. Nakamura, professor of architecture of the Imperial university of Tokio and a member of the committee dispatched to this city by the Japanese government to investigate the effects of the tremblore and fire. Dr. Nakamura will sail on the Korea today, to report to his government. "I find," said Dr. Nakamura yesterday, "that much of the damage to San Francisco from the earthquake was due to poor mortar and faulty construction, and the greater portion of the damage to the class 'A' buildings by fire was the result of misguided use of hollow tiling and so-called fire blocks instead of concrete. "There has developed as a result of the earthquake in San Francisco, great prejudice against brick buildings. However, they are largely employed in Japan, where earthquakes of greater severity than the one experienced in this city are not uncommon. The secret of their success, however, lies in the fact that good mortar is used. The mortar should either be composed of one part cement to two parts of sand, or of one part cement, three of lime and five of sand. The bricks should be thoroughly wet before being laid, and when the mortar has set under these conditions, a wall becomes practically one stone." COMPANIES WOLF MAY SUE. Names Those Which Disobey Law and May Forfeit Licenses, San Francisco, June 20.—The following insurance companies, by reason of their failing to comply with Insurance Commissioner Wolf's demand that they either sign stipulations extending the time for filing proofs of loss to August 18 or furnish the commissioner with their lists of policy holders, have rendered themselves liable to forfeiture of their right to do business in the state of California: Agricultural, American of Boston, American of Philadelphia, Dutchess, Eagle, German of Peoria, Germania, Globe and Rutgers, Girard, New York of New York, Northwestern Fire & Marine, National Union, North German of New York, Spring Garden, Security of Baltimore, Traders, Union of Philadelphia, Westchester, Western Underwriters. Commissioner Wolf intends to proceed against these companies without delay unless advised to the contrary by the attorney general of the state. He made this statement yesterday and added: "Furthermore it will be my business to see that these companies are compelled to meet their just obligations. By giving retire without paying, I shall state under will be taken against them corrupted." San Francisco Assured of $12,000,000 of Government Funds. Washington, June 20.—A tacit agreement was reached today by the president. Secretary Shaw and the delegation of representative citizens of San Francisco by which substantial aid will be given San Francisco by the government. It is proposed that the United States treasury deposit with the San Francisco banks $12,000,000 of government money, with bonds of the city as security, the money to remain in the banks until the government shall call for it. Under the law the secretary of the treasury has authority to deposit government funds in this way, but cannot bind his successor. It is hoped in California to organize a corporation with a capital of several millions of dollars, to issue bonds to guarantee the government against loss through the banks. Other plans have been suggested for the raising of money to enable the people of California to rebuild their homes and business houses, but thus far nothing has been proposed that will meet the ideas of congress. Troops in Mutiny. Odessa, June 20.—General Kaulbars has received words in Russia to the effect that the troops there are mutinous and have refused to act as police in quelling street disturbances. The identity of these garrisons is being concealed, but all the facts have been telegraphed to the minister of war. It can be stated on the authority of a general officer of the staff that the reason why the government has not carried out its plan to mobilize 700,000 Cossacks is the fear of civil war. Militia Fund is Doubled. Washington, June 20.—The militia bill, which finally passed congress yesterday, will double the annual allotment to various states for their National Guard. Under the new apportionment Oregon will receive $15,958; Washington, $19,947, and Idaho $11,984. This annual appropriation will begin July 1, 1906. Men who are always attempting to kill two birds with one stone never bag much game. A Paris doctor explains that hot irons will prevent hair from turning gray. So will a scalping knife. The Methodists are planning to look over their creed. An ounce of revision is better than a pound of heresy trials. The millionaire who is compelled to subsist on crackers and milk finds it easy to believe that poor people eat too much meat. The germ of rheumatism has been found, and a good many people will hope that it may be quickly hit on the head with a club. The Boston company that started out a while ago to pay premiums on births has discovered that the race suicide scare was wholly unfounded. Another "get rich quick" concern has come to grief. But the victims need not be discouraged. Others will be organized for their express benefit. While attempting to lift a stove the other day, a man dropped dead, and it is safe to say that every married man who heard about it told his wife. It has been said that the drum was the first musical instrument in use, but how any one discovered that it is a musical instrument is still a mystery. Standard Oil has established a publicity office and hung out a sign, "Reporters Welcome; Walk In." This may be described as another sign of the times. "I admire the spirit that never gives up," remarked John D. Rockefeller, Jr., to his Bible class. And Russell Sage is now sorry that he let the country catch him at it. John D. Rockefeller's physician has recommended ball playing as a cure for the oil magnate's physical troubles. Ida Tarbell will probably concede at once that John D. ought to be able to make a great record as a base stealer. A Norwegian scientist has discovered that moss, when properly cleaned, makes a delightful and nutritious food. Two cents' worth of it will make a meal, and the scientist thinks it is destined to become the popular food of the masses. Look out for the moss trust. In a recent affair of honor over in France one of the duelists shot a hole in a fence, while the other tore up several inches of sod. The gentlemen then shook hands and were friends again. The French duel is a glorious institution, and it is a pity that it is occasionally marred by an accident. Not the least touching thing in connection with the San Francisco calamity is the character of many of the contributors to the relish as five cents. Very large, the lists in the daily papers, he finds waiters and bell-boys in the hotels, street-car conductors and motor-men, office boys, shop-girls, and many others whose earnings are small and whose needs usually are great. It is such givers as these who show how widespread is the sympathy and how universal is the generosity of the country toward the capital of the Western coast. The last great chunk of the rock of man's prerogatives that has fallen into the swift stream of woman's progress is the "obey" in the marriage service. Of course, for a long time this simple word has been a mere meaningless form coed without sincerity by the lips of countless brides, but man, in his egotism, has held on to it as a slender thread of connection with the sterner days. But, after all, who cares a rap whether the word "obey" is in the marriage service or not? Certainly no one ever took it seriously and, anyway, it is no time to weigh more words when one is stumbling along in the dark after a minister who himself is only pinching detached sentences out of a book. "Olympic games," in which the winners are youths from America, Australia and Canada look like a very new thing, but there is really nothing new about the success of the outlying districts in these classic contests. It was quite a common thing in the ancient day for athletes from the outlying Hellenic states and the colonies to take the prizes, and the conditions that made victories for greater Greece in those days are precisely the same as those which win the laurels for Sheridan, Sherring and Asty to-day. That is to say, it is the pioneer who has in him the spirit of the champion and the tradition of overcoming. It is the "new country" that gives the hope, the eagerness, the elasticity that makes great athletes. That very large element of the population which bestows more serious thought upon the condition of its stomach than it does upon the state of its mind would do well, for a change, to swallow and digest this bit of good advice from Dr. Frank M. S. Billings, professor of medicine in Rush Medical In- attitute. "Eat slowly," he says. "Masticate thoroughly. Eat no more than you can enjoy. And do not become a crank about any kind of food." If Dr Billings had been asked, "What else would you advise one to do who does not feel very well before eating and who feels worse afterward," he would probably have replied: "Forget yourself on rising in the morning, keep it up through the day, and forget yourself harder than ever when you lie down at night." For every advanced medical scientist knows in these days that indigestion is a state out of which one can think one's self, if one will only learn how to think healthy thoughts. However, aside from this, it must be apparent to the observant that it is the person who is most careful about his diet who finds it necessary constantly to be the most careful, while it is the person who is most careless who finds it unnecessary to care. The man who sits down at the restaurant table and orders a baby food dinner is the man who has been suffering from all the pangs of dyspepsia since he ate a baby food breakfast, whereas the man who sits down and tells the waiter to bring along anything he has got is the man who had sausage, ham and eggs, griddle cakes, and two cups of coffee in the morning, and who expects to wind up in the evening with a New England boiled dinner. There is, of course, a happy medium. And it lies somewhere between the man who nibbles his food like a rabbit and the man who goes at it like a much larger animal, the name of which it is unnecessary to mention here. After the invention of lightning rods for the protection of buildings there ceased to be much expression of difference of opinion about them even in difference existed. It was admitted that care and knowledge must be used in applying them, otherwise they might add to instead of ward off the danger. But the public mind seemed to settle down into acquiescence in the substantial efficacy of the safeguard. During a long term of years few buildings of any considerable value were left without some such device. Several years ago there was a reaction in the fashion and builders began to apply the cost of supposed protection against lightning to other purposes. The decline of the fashion began in large cities and was helped along by occasional failures of some conductors when used. It has gone on until the weight of fashion is now back to what it was before Franklin and his kite and door key opened a new era in civilization. Those who have fallen out of the fashion are, as a rule, not very positive either way, rather explaining that the theory of artificial protection is at least an open question. At all events the lightning rod of a generation ago has "gone out" as a general fashion, and it is noticeable that the decline of the fashion was far more sudden than its growth. For a decade or two men who build houses have apparently tried to forget that lightning ever injures them. No doubt the increasing use of steel in building in large cities, had had influence on the fashion, yet it is hard to see why. If there was a basis for the fashion at all the use of the steel skeleton should make occasion only for difference of application. It could not affect the principle. Quite likely again, namely it has been pointed out that while the steel skeleton skyscrapers in cities, though often higher than the most modest church spires, have been nearly always exempt from electrical injury, and at the same time there has been a surprising number of unprotected city church spires, not of steel construction, that have suffered by lightning. In England it would seem that though aware of the decline in the fashion they have not yielded to it and some of the most influential publications are supporting the use of conductors quite as a matter of course. They know that there is skepticalism, but they do not regard protection from lightning by means of conductors as any more an open question than is protection from smallpox by means of vaccination. One of the leading London dallies points out that the great cathedrals and all the old churches with tall spires have been so protected since the theory of protection was first considered tenable and since so protected no one has been damaged, while some had been injured before. It instances especially Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's, both of which are so protected and have wholly escaped injury, nor has anything within the areas surrounding them which are theoretically included in their protection ever suffered any injury. A UNIQUE STREET RAILWAY. The apparently impossible situation herewith depleted is an actual occurrence at Denver, Colo. A street car drawn by a single horse makes regular trips to the top of a high hill in the vicinity of the city, from which a fine view of the surrounding country is obtained. The horse pulls the car to the summit, but he is not needed in the descent. So he is trained to stand on the platform of the car until the bottom is reached. People should quit ice cream sodas at thirty-five. THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON IDAHO ADVERTISING Thos. Blyth, Pre Lyman Frego, Vice Pres The Blyth & Fargo Co.

Care-not is a greater hindrance to success than cannot. Self-forgetfulness is only acquired by remembering others. The world is a vessel in whose hold the fire is already burning. God's first act after the creation was the organization of a home. Many public professions are criminal over-issues of religious stock. When there is a fire in the church the people will gather about the hearth. The Christian heartstone is an essential in the foundation of this republic. When a man shows his goodness in his home, the chances are that goodness has its home in him. The fullness of salvation comes in only when Christ takes out our old faults and puts in new forces. When the Lord listens for the din of his workshop, He too often hears but a symphony of snores from the droning churches. FAMOUS LOST TREASURES. They Include an Arm of the Venus de Milo. The Venus de Milo which has been in the Louvre for many years is, as all the world knows, an imperfect piece of sculpture, though it is the greatest treasure of its kind the world has ever seen. A great reward would be given the man who could find the missing parts. About twenty-eight years ago the most important of them—the right arm—came to light in London and was proved by experts to be genuine. The owner, however, refused to part with it and concealed it for fear it would be stolen. Unfortunately he died without revealing its hiding place, so it is as much lost as ever, says the New York Herald. A bronze drinking cup which was stolen from an Egyptian temple in 1739 and brought to Europe has miraculously disappeared. On it is engraved the whole history of the Pharoahs and it could easily be sold for $109,000. In fact the French government offered a reward of $14,000 for its discovery, but the famous cup has vanished, probably forever. ed in a treasure which has vanishen vase of the Dresden is the Marcellia the only piece missing from the mous Dresden Marcellia collection, the value of which is said to be $75,000. It bears the cross, arrows and the lion's head. Not long ago the vase was said to be in England, but be that as it may, the person who rediscoverss this treasure may command any price in reason for it. How it is possible that a treasure so large as a painting could be lost sight of entirely is not easily explained, but this has often happened. One of Roynolds' paintings, "The Countess of Derby," which is considered his best portrait, has disappeared. Not long after it was painted it disappeared from the collection of the Earl of Derby and has never been heard of since, though it would bring $150,000 to the finder. There are also two Vandykes and a Rembrandt missing, for which collectors are willing to pay $200,000. The Earl of Crewe would give a large sum for the return of a Cupid which some vandal cut from the portrait of the former Countess of Crewe and her son, who was painted as the sprite. Presence of Mind. Mme. Rachel, the great actress, was resting alone in her dressing room one night preparatory to going on the stage, when a man suddenly entered and, drawing a dagger, said he was going to kill her if she did not at once consent to marry him. The actress saw at once that the man was mad and meant what he said. So with the utmost coolness she replied: "Certainly I will marry you. I wish nothing better. Come with me to the priest at once; I have had him come here for the purpose." She took his arm and they went out together—to where there was assistance, of course, and the man was immediately put under arrest. He lifeless Are Always Lovely.

Decimal weights ani measures are in order for Uncle Sam after July 1, 1908, according to Dr. A. G. Bell, who has pointed out that all civilized coun- tries with the exception of the United States and Britain and her colonies have adopted the simpler and more scientific decimal system. By refer- ‘ence to the decimal eystem of coin- age, Dr. Bell has provided convincing inetances of the simplification possi- ble with it in the conversion of units, and explained that the United States, when it changed from the old system of pounds, shillings and pence to dol- lars and cents did not adopt the met- ric system of weights and measures because the latter, as we know it, did not appear until after the Ameri- can coinage act of 1792. The facts that our whole system of arithmetic is decimal, that no difficulty whatever is experienced by ordinary workmen in the use of the metric system— provided there is no question of con- verting their measurements, and that the use of the metric system need not mean the use of new tools—were all clearly explained. “We in America are great mixers,” said Andrew Carnegie in his epeech at the cornerstone laying of the ‘United Engineering building in New York recently, Great mixers we are, indeed.

An army of teachers in our schools and colleges are by their lives of self sacrificing and conscientious devotion to the cause of education making unremitting protest against prevailing selfishness and avarice. From many thousands of pulpits through- out the land is ceaselessly enforced the inspired assur- ance “better is a little with righteousness than great reve- nues without right.” It may be that directors of organizations who have in- vited the confidence of the people and who have negll- gently or viciously betrayed their trust will not thereby Jone caste among thelr fellows In the gulld of riches; but there are millions of thelr countrymen who will persist in measuring their conduct by the plein, simple standard of moral rectitude.

She bai deen reading some time, when sudden ly she heard hoofbeats, Peering throug! the vines she saw a young scout, one o her husband's friends, come galloping up the road toward the house ver} much excited. She thought of her bus band Immediately and suspected that he was In danger. “What's the matter?” she exclaimed, seizing him by the arm, “It's—tt's Will,” he answered, quite breathlessly. “Is he burt?” she cried, excitedly, “No, but he's going to be,” he an- swered softly, at the same time glancing around about to see whether or not he was telling this to more chan one person. “When? Where?” she cried, almost shouted. “Yer know where Black Rock is, ‘bout ten miles from here, don’t yer? Vell, that's where they're golng’ to wait or him.

THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON heart must be consulted, yet there is an Implety in this attitude, inasmueh as a couple will withdraw from its #0- clety and prociatm its right to enter into bonds of matr!- mony regardless of any social demand. ‘The divorce movement Is the effect of this individual- ism. When 2 couple marries solely for thelr own happt- ness one will dissolve the bond as soon as this end falls of realization. The best and truest marriages result when the parties enter into them not for personal happiness, but with a desire to reach the social end. Parents should remain together if only for the sake of thelr children. In strained parental relations, why would it not be feastble to divorce a son from a father, a aughter from a mother? A father cannot cast off a profilgate son; there is no such thing as disowning him, for we hear of that only in novels. Likewise, there 1s no such thing as disowning a wife, however grave her offense might be. She may be exiled for life, but the mental relation should never cease, even when the inti- mate does.

The laws against adulteration passed in 1875 have abolished the first, and the laws with regard to housing have ex- tinguished the latter. ‘The authorities have discovered that {t is cheaper not to have smallpox, cholera, and ty- photd than to have them, and they have taken steps that have made these affiictions a hundred times rarer than they were.

This time he got out and held his horse by the head and as the automobile went by he remarked: “These darned horse are a heap of trouble, ain't they.” The tourists, who had no doubt expected a torrent of abuse, laughed hard and lon, us they whizzed by.

Tommy—I think he's bigoted. Uncle—In what way? Tommy—Well, he tinks dat words ougher be spelt his way all de time. Molly—He is a student at one of the big colleges. Polly—Nonsense! He talked with us for an hour when he was here yesterday and never used a bit of slang—Somerville Journal. “This flower is strictly up-to-date,” said the florist. “What do you mean by that?” asked the prospective customer. “Why,” he explained, “it was obtained by grafting.” Detroit Free Press. “Is she pretty?” they asked of the young man who was speaking of his fiancee. “Well, I don't want to boast,” he replied, “but she always gets a seat in a crowded street car.”—Stray Stories. If the sweet girl graduate of last June hasn't got a school or an engagement ring yet, it is high time for her to study shorthand and hustle around to get a job at typewriting—Somerville Journal. Ferdy—Really, Patrick, I'd rather ride Staggers than take a spin in the touring car. The Groom—Sure, 'tis strange ye fale that way, sor, considerin' that Staggers is ownly a wan-hoss-power hoss.—Puck. "He claims that he built the first passenger elevators used in this country." "Nonsense! The Mississippi steamboats were running and blowing up regularly long before he was born."—Philadelphia Press. "No, my little girl, I can't lend your mother any flour or oil or butter or flatirons or lamps or potatoes or anything else that she sent you over for, but go back and tell her I have a lot of trouble she can borrow."—Baltimore American. Mother—Come now, Will, if you'll only be good I'll give you a penny. Willie—No'm; I won't be good for less'n five cents. Mother—Why, you were good yesterday for a penny. Willie—I know, but yesterday was bargain day.—Philadelphia Press. First Girl—What are you waiting for? Why don't you finish your letter to Ella? Second Girl—I don't know whether to say "Ever yours, with truest love," or simply "Yours affectionately." You see, I can't endure Ella. See here!" snapped the landlord, who had responded to the tenant's hurry call for a plumber, "I thought you said the water in your cellar was two feet deep. "It's only a few inches." "Well, that's as deep as my two feet," retorted the tenant, "and that's too much." Clara—Did the papers notice your father at the great banquet? Johnny—Yes. Clara—Well, mamma said she could not see his name on the list. Johnny—No; but the list ends up with "and others." That means papa. They always mention him that way.—Illustrated Bits. Magistrate and M. P.—After mature and careful consideration of your case, I have come to the conclusion that you are a lazy, good-for-nothing rogue. May I ask if you ever earned a shilling in your life? Prisoner—Oh, yes, I have, yer 'onor. I voted fer yer 'onor once. The Sketch. Tom—Look at that crowd of women trying to get in that department store. Dick—Yes, it's a regular crush. Tom—But it's so early. Why, the doors aren't open yet. Dick—Yes, they're the women who followed the line of advice in the advertisement: "Come early and avoid the rush."—Catholic Standard and Times. The desperate man, weary of life, opened an upper window in the skyscraper and threw himself out. He landed on top of a load of mattresses with which a teamster happened to be driving along at the moment. "Hang the luck!" he exclaimed, as he rose to him feet, shook himself, and found that he was practically uninjured. "I might have known this would be the result of jumping from the thirteenth floor!" Mrs. Jenner Lee Ondego had just returned from her summer vacation. "My goodness!" she exclaimed, as she inspected the alterations that had been made in the house during her absence. "This isn't the kind of wall paper I wanted. It won't harmonize with my complexlon at all!" "Well," irritably answered her husband, "you can change your complexlon a good deal easier than we can repaper the whole house." —Chicago Tribune. A clergyman who had accepted an invitation to officiate at Sunday services in a neighboring town entrusted his new curate with the performance of his own duties. On returning home he asked his wife what she thought of the curate's sermon. "It was the poorest one I ever heard," she replied, promptly—"nothing in it at all." Later in the day the clergyman, meeting his curate, asked him how he had got on. "Oh, very well," was the reply. "I didn't have time to prepare anything, so I preached one of your unused sermons."

THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON Conquest <3 Great American Desert nts | Irrigation is going to be a success, saya the Boston Transcript. The third inquiry by the House committee on this ‘enterprise has brought out evidence that appears to Justify confidence in ‘the results, The Secretary of the In- terior has testified that including the rrigation projects under construction ‘and those contemplated and approved but not begun, there will have been spent in two years from the last of next June $37,000,000, while the est!- mated receipts from the opefations of the law up to that time will be about half @ million more than that amount.

It is generally on the back, breast, arms, legs and face, though other parts of the body may be afflicted. In TETTER the skin dries, cracks and bleeds, and is often very painful. “The acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, causing a dry, feverish, hardetied condition and giving it a leathery appearance.
