# The Sea Fairies
### Foreword

The oceans are big and broad.I believe two-thirds of the earth's surface is covered in water.What people inhabit this water has always been a subject of curiosity to the inhabitants of the land.Strange creatures come from the seas at times, and perhaps in the ocean depths are many,more strange than mortal eye has ever gazed upon.
This story is fanciful. In it the sea people talk and act much as we do, and the mermaids especially are not unlike the fairies with whom we have learned to be familiar.Yet they are real sea people,for all that, and with the exception of Zog the Magician they are all supposed to exist in the ocean's depths.
I am told that some very learned people deny that mermaids or sea-serpents have ever inhabited the oceans,but it would be very difficult for them to prove such an assertion unless they had lived under the water as Trot and Cap'n Bill did in this story.
I hope my readers who have so long followed Dorothy's adventures in the Land of Oz will be interested in Trot's equally strange experiences.The ocean has always appealed to me as a veritable wonderland, and this story has been suggested to me many times by my young correspondents in their letters.Indeed, a good many children have implored me to "write something about the mermaids", and I have willingly granted the request.

# The Souvenir of Western Women/Babies of the Pioneers (Poem)

Also anthologized in Ben Hur Lampman's 1947 Poems of the Covered Wagons
Babies of the Pioneers
By EUNICE W. LUCKEY
Tired cattle stumbled on the dusty trail, Men's hearts grew faint and women's cheeks turned pale. But some there were who knew no cares nor fears— The laughing babies of the pioneers.
The giant mountains made their gloomy boast. And frowned defiance at the weary host, But still their laughter lightened toil and tears— Those jocund babies of the pioneers.
Where widening rivers rolled in sullen pride.
Bearing a menace on each sombre tide.
Their voices woke the mirth that charms and cheers— Those bonny babies of the pioneers.
Wherever danger lurked and courage failed,
When even the stout hearts of their fathers quailed, They scorned the foeman's arrows and his spears— Those sturdy babies of the pioneers.
Life's morning broadened into glowing day.
Life's noontide faded into twilight gray,
They bore the heavy burdens of the years— Those stalwart children of the pioneers.
The time of testing is forever past.
The days of rest and honor come at last; We give them every title that endears— Those toil-worn children of the pioneers.
And still they smile, as memory leads the way
Along the trails the cattle made that day;
They smile and wait till evening's star appears— Those gray-haired children of the pioneers.
# The Souvenir of Western Women/Abigail Scott Duniway, Mother and Home Builder

Abigail Scott Duniway
MOTHER AND HOME BUILDER.
WHEN we consider the hands that build a nation, we naturally look to those whose workmanship is uppermost—the statesman, the legislator, the soldier, the philanthropist, the author, the painter, and the poet. Beneath all these we find the work of smaller, but sometimes mightier, hands. The former may have laid the cornerstone and fitted the keystone to the arch, but the solid masonry of the foundation, upon which the entire structure must rest, is the work largely of the latter.
The hands that work unobserved and silently have builded into the national edifice that which will enable it to withstand the storms of time; and these hands are the hands that rock the cradle—the hands that keep the hearthstone bright and the light burning in the window for wandering feet.
Sometimes the great hands that have helped to chisel out the cornerstone and to mold out of human thought the keystone to the arch have also been among the silent workers. While building grandly above, they have reached down among the workers in the realm of home and builded as grandly and as wisely there.
Among these dual workers are most of the women whose names stand pre-eminent as builders in state, in literature, in philanthropy—not least of whom is our own Abigail Scott Duniway.
In our community is the fruit of her home work. Five sons, solid citizens of their country, stand as worthy testimony to a mother's work. As a public worker in the cause of freedom, as a framer of laws for betterment of the condition of women under the law, Mrs. Duniway stands equal to any; as a mother and home-builder second to none.

From the diary of Mrs. Elkanah Walker (a missionary of 1838): "February 15. Camped at the Sweet Water at the foot of Independence Rock, so-called because the Fur Company once celebrated Independence day here. In company with Mr. and Mrs. Gray went to the top of the rock. This, I should judge, is one hundred feet high and a half mile in circumference. It is coarse granite, quartz predominating."
# The Souvenir of Western Women/A Scrap From an Old Diary

A Scrap from an Old Diary
By MRS. E. M. WILSON. The Dalles. Or.
IN September, 1851, 1 was riding from Albany to Forest Grove, where I was then engaged in teaching. Only for short distances was there anything that could be called a road for wheeled vehicles. Much of the way we rode over a grassy trail, and everywhere the "ooihut" was in the open.
The few-and-far-between settlers, as soon as was possible, had a corral fence for cattle and horses if they were fortunate enough to have any, and a field for grain, but nowhere could a fence be found on both sides of the way. The day waned; we met no one; we passed no one as we rode. It was a delightful ride, though a lonely one. Several times from adjoining thickets we saw the faces of deer steadily gazing at us with their penetrating eyes wholly without fear.
We were still many miles from our destination and very tired (at least one of the riders was), and it was decided that the next cabin (there was nothing else) should be interviewed to see if possibly supper could be obtained. As we turned the bend of a large hill, somewhere in Yamhill County, we came in sight of a man plowing in the open. At some distance was a cabin, and a fence enclosing a piece of land for gardening. My escort rode to the plowman to make inquiries, and I to the cabin. Two children, about 4 and 6 years of age, were standing by a rude stile. I asked them to tell their mother that I wanted to speak with her. They made no reply, but steadily stared at me. "Go call mamma," said I. There was no response. I then dismounted, wondering that no motive of interest or curiosity had caused the cabin door to open, but still all was silent. I said to the oldest: "Take me where mamma is." She readily took my hand and led me through the tall rye grass and stopped by a newly-made grave.
Stony Point was at one time an Indian burying ground. The dead were put in canoes on scaffolds. Years later some of the oyster men turned the skeletons out and patched up their coffins and used them for oyster boats. In one of the skiff's was found the petrified body of an Indian. It was carried on board a vessel in the night and shipped to some museum.
# The Souvenir of Western Women/Academy of The Holy Names, Seattle, Wash.

ACADEMY OF THE HOLY NAMES, SEVENTH AVENUE, SEATTLE, WASH.
On June 15, 1905, this institution of learning for young girls will celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of its foundation. Upon its past work God's benedictions have been shed, while upon its future rests the crown of promise. Within two years the general government of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary hopes to have erected and completed one of the finest academies of the Great West. The site has already been secured on Capital Hill, which commands from this point a magnificent view of the Cascades and Olympic ranges and the grand water environments of the Queen City.
In 1880 Very Rev. F. X. Prefontaine laid the foundation of Holy Names Academy on the corner of Second and Spring streets. The work of these twenty-five years lives in the hearts of hundreds of pupils who are the joy and solace of their Alma Mater.
# The Souvenir of Western Women/Art in the Northwest—Extracts from Fine Arts Journal

Art in the Northwest
Extract from Fine Arts Journal, Edited by Marion White, Chicago, Illinois
IT IS pleasant to contemplate what artists are doing in the North-West. Many of these reside in Portland or its immediate vicinity. And no wonder, for there is every inspiration here for the student of landscape. The beautiful Willamette, heading with a sure, swift current toward the Columbia, is one of the most picturesque of streams. Its wondrous falls adds greatly to its charms. Green pastures with cattle knee deep in luscious verdure, trees stretching their big branches in benediction, glimpses of orchards, and an atmosphere charged with scent of woods, and all a-quiver with its own purity and strength and subtle charm of movement when day is melting into eve.
The artists of the West are all telling more or less of this grand story of Nature's perfect self; all growing in appreciation of the truly beautiful. They are the art pioneers of this Greater West, and like all pioneers of any newly-discovered country, they must work patiently and unfailingly. And this they are doing.
It is this tender beauty that Jennie E. Wright portrays with such good feeling. Mrs. Wright also paints mountain scenery, and Hood has been studied by her under every condition.
Miss Frances C. R. Grothjean is one of Oregon's most notable young artists, her work having been seen in exhibition in many cities in the United States. In 1900 she was represented among the American artists at the Paris Exposition. Miss Grothjean was born in Germany, but brought by her parents to this country when very young, her education being received in the schools of Portland, Oregon. She went to Paris, studying under Courtois, Girard and others.
Annabelle Hutchinson-Parrish is another local artist whose work in enamel and tapestry painting is of rare quality. Mrs. Parrish possesses the broad technique and grasp as well as the innate love of that which is of country which will bring an impetus to art in the Greater West.
# The Souvenir of Western Women/Behnke-Walker Business College

BEHNKE-WALKER BUSINESS COLLEGE.
The Behnke-Walker Business College is an institution of which the City of Portland can well feel proud. It was founded only five years ago. To-day it is classed as the leading institution of its kind in this part of the country. Within the past four months they have enrolled more than 300 pupils, this number being only 100 less than during the twelve months previous.
The equipment is of the latest, complete in every detail. They have left no stone unturned for the benefit of their pupils. The business practice department has ten offices; Retail, commission, real estate, insurance, bank, etc., each having a different set of books. In this way the pupils become familiar with all phases of bookkeeping, from the simplest to the most complicated transactions.
This college possesses the unique feature of being the only college in the United States that equips each of its offices with a typewriter. The bank is equipped with an adding machine, the only one used by a business college west of the Mississippi River.
The business and shorthand departments are connected by a private telephone. The business department is under the direct supervision of Mr. I. M. Walker, one of the proprietors. The shorthand department is in charge of Mr. H. W. Behnke, president of the college.
The Pernin system of shorthand is taught. It employs no shading, no position, has only a few word signs, and connective vowels follow consonants in their natural order as in longhand. This system can be learned in one-third the time required to learn the Pitman, Graham or Munson. The standard for graduation is 125 words per minute for five consecutive minutes.
The college is in session throughout the entire year. A night school is also conducted for those unable to attend during the day.
# The Social Contract

The book theorizes about the best way to establish a political community in the face of the problems of commercial society, which Rousseau had already identified in his Discourse on Inequality (1755).

The St. Joze Indiano
APPEAL from the circuit court for the district of Massachusetts. The ship St. Joze Indiano, bound from Liverpool to Rio de Janeiro, was captured and sent into the United States, as prize of war, in the summer of 1814. The ship and most of the cargo were condemned as British property in the circuit court, and there was no appeal by any of the claimants except in behalf of Mr. J. Lizaur, of Rio de Janeiro. The right of Mr. J. Lizaur, to have restitution of property belonging to him, at the time of capture, was not contested by the captors; but it was contended, that the property in question, when captured, was at the risk of the shippers, Messrs. Dyson, Brothers & Co. of Liverpool. The bill of lading did not specify any order, or account and risk. The invoice was headed, 'consigned to Messrs. Dyson, Brothers & Finnie, by order, and for account of J. Lizaur.' In a letter accompanying the bill of lading and invoice, of the 4th of May, 1814, from Dyson, Brothers & Co. to Dyson, Brothers & Finnie, they say, 'For Mr. Lizaur, we open an account in our books here, and debit him, &c. We cannot yet ascertain the proceeds of his hides, &c., but find his order for goods will far exceed the amount of these shipments, therefore we consign the whole to you, that you may come to a proper understanding with him.' The house of Dyson, Brothers & Co., of Liverpool, and of Dyson, Brothers & Finnie, of Rio, consist of the same persons; goods claimed in behalf of the latter house were condemmed on the ground that both firms represented the same parties in interest, and from this decision there was no appeal.
Harper, for the appellant and claimant. This ease may be contrasted with those said to be similar. In the case of Kimmel and Alvers,a on the authority of which this portion of the cargo was condemned in the court below, the claimants had ordered the goods shipped, but there was no evidence that they had paid for any part of the goods, or that they were charged to them by the shippers. In that case the breaking out of the war produced a change in the destination of the goods, and a complete control over them was retained by the vendor, which control
Dexter, for the respondents and captors. The case is clearly within the principles adjudged. Thus, it has been determined, incidentally, at the present term, in the case of Van Wagenan,e that property is not immediately vested in the correspondent by a purchase by his agent, by order, whether it be with the money of the former or latter. The case of Messrs. Wilkins was not a unanimous decision of the court, but is clearly distinguishable from the present.
March 9th.
STORY, J., delivered the opinion of the court, and, after stating the facts, proceeded as follows:

# The St. Joze Indiano/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
The single question presented on these facts is, in whom the property was vested at the time of its transit; if in Mr. Lizaur, then it is to be restored; if in the shippers, then it is to be condemned. It is contended, in behalf of the claimant, that the goods having been purchased by the order, and partly with the funds, of Mr. Lizaur, the property vested in him immediately by the purchase, and the contract being executed by the sale, no delivery was necessary to perfect the legal title: that nothing was reserved to the shippers but a mere right of stoppage in transitu, and that if they had been burnt before the shipment, or lost during the voyage, the loss must have fallen on Mr. Lizaur.
The doctrine as to the right of stoppage in transitu, cannot apply to this case. That right exists in the single case of insolvency, and presupposes, not only that the property has passed to the consignee, but that the possession is in a third person in the transit to the consignee. It cannot, therefore, touch a case where the actual or constructive possession still remains in the shipper or his exclusive agents. In general, the rules of the prize court, as to the vesting of property, are the same with those of the common law, by which the thing sold, after the completion of the contract, is properly at the risk of the purchaser.f But the question still recurs, when is the contract executed? It is certainly competent for an agent abroad, who purchases in pursuance of orders, to vest the property in his principal immediately on the purchase. This is the case when he purchases exclusively on the credit of his principal, or makes an absolute appropriation and
On the whole, the court are unanimously of opinion, that the goods included in this shipment were, during their transit, the property, and at the risk of the shippers, and, therefore, subject to condemnation. The claim of Mr. Lizaur must, therefore, be rejected.
Sentence affirmed with costs.

 in the house of representatives
 Tuesday, January 27, 2009
 Mr. YOUNG of Florida. Madam Speaker, The St. Petersburg Times, my
hometown newspaper, began its 125th year of publishing this month.  Starting from humble beginings in the back of a Dunedin, Florida
drugstore, 3 people--a doctor, dentist and printer--turned out 480
copies of the newpaper's first edition. Today, The Times is Florida's
most read newspaper.  Following my remarks, I will include for the benefit of my
colleagues, a column by Paul Tash, the Editor, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of The St. Petersburg Times, commemorating the
newspaper's growth and plans to celebrate its history over the next
year.  Madam Speaker, The St. Petersburg Times has dutifully recorded the
history of our community these past 125 years, and as Paul Tash writes,
"sharing in the success, suffering in the setbacks." Please join me
in thanking all those past and present employees of The Times who have
brought the news to our doorstep, in good times and bad, and even
during the most trying of times.

APPEAL from the circuit court of Georgia. This vessel and the cargo were libelled as prize of war. The ship was claimed by John E. Smith, the supercargo, in behalf of John Meyer, alleged to be a Russian subject residing at St Petersburg. The cargo consisted of logwood and cotton, 200 bales of which were claimed by Smith, in behalf of Platzman & Gosler, also alleged to be Russian merchants of St. Petersburg. The remainder of the cargo, consisting of 950 bales of cotton, and 58 tons of logwood, were claimed in behalf of John Inerarity, a Scotchman, domiciled at Pensacola, and an adopted Spanish subject. The vessel was restored in the district court, and the cargo condemned, except the logwood, which was restored. Both parties appealed to the circuit court, and the cause was then heard and considered; but that court, under the influence of personal considerations, rendered only a pro forma decree, affirming the sentence of the district court, at the same time expressing a strong opinion that both vessel and cargo were liable to condemnation. The cause had been continued at the last term of this court for farther proof, but no farther proof was produced at the present term.
The cause was argued by Key and Harper, for the appellants and claimants, and by Pinkney and Charleton, for the respondents and captors.
March 21st.
