that last year they decided to open a
house in Portland and did so at 43 First

partner, a gentleman who thoroughly un-

and who has become to all intents and
purposes thorough Oregonian The
house here carries an immense stock of
goods and people in the interior can pur-
chase almost anything they want here in
Portland and not have to wait for it to be
ordered from below. Gregory & Co. made
a splendid exhibit at the late Mechanics

bronze medals and diplomas. This house
carries everything from a large $4,000
steam fire engine to wood working ma.

SuperstItiOns About Marriage.

That May, with us, is not month for
marrying, may easily be seen any year
from the list of weddings in the Times
newspaper, the proper belief being sum-
med up in the familiar proverb, MARRY
in May and you will rue the day." Some
of the numerous reasons assigned for the
ill-luck attaching to this month are the
following. That women disobeying the
rule would be childless; or, if they had
children, that the first born would be an
or that the married couple would not
live happily together in their new life,
but soon become weary of each others
Interpretations which still retain
their hold throughout the country. In
spite, however, of this absurd prejudice,
it seems that, in days gone by, May was
honored in feudal England as the month
of all months especially congenial to
lovers.

by some to the day of the week on which
the marriage is performed. Thus Friday,

found the ladies greatly alarmed. The
clock in the unused room, where the
death occurred, had been heard to strike
in the afternoon. They asked me to ex-
anime the clock and tho room, as they
dared not. 1 found an old fashioned
twenty -four-hour clock, with thin pine

close up to the chimney. AS the chin.

fallen and had melted on the inside. OF
course the bricks of the chimney back of
the clock had absorbed much moisture.

Not Down In the Bills.

There was a little scene at the Casino.
in New York, to the Rochambeaus and
Won Steubens, that was not down on the
bills, and which has given no end of
food for gossip. The committee of ar
rangements had picked out certain la.
dies prominent in New York society to
accompany the foreign guests to the sup
per-room. After manner of gentlemen at
balls, the foreigners fitted about from
lady to lady. staying longest with
those they found most agreeable.
1t so happened, Just at supper time,
General Won Steuben was engaged in
animated conversation with one of the
best known ladies in New York. As she
spoke German almost as well as he did,
he felt very much at ease in her society,
and vowed that he had never met more
entertaining woman. He offered her his
arm and escorted her to the supper-room.
When he reached the door, and was in
the very act OF conducting his partner to
the table, what was his astonishment to
see the foor-manager making violent
gesticulations at the lady on his arm.
The baron stared, and the lady smiled
and went on with her chat, still advancing,
The committeeman then stepped up,
and told her in choice English that she
was not the lady selected to accompany
the baron to the supper-room, and that
she must retire in favor Of the rightful
one. With eyes flashing and in indig-
nant tones, she told the baron in Ger
man that she was being ordered out of
the room, and that the committee had
selected some other lady for the honor
of his arm. Dunder and Bitten! Here
was an insult Baron Steuben's right
hand instinctively clutched his sword
hilt. Was not this lady the wife of an
ex-minister to- Germany and to France?
and to whom more rightly did his at
tention belong? All his gallantry and
patriotism rose. Strengthening himself
up to his full height, drawing her arm
more firmly through his. he turned his
back on the supper-room and N the ball.
If such thing had happened in Ger
many, he said to friend. he would have
drawn his sword and run the oflicious
floor manager through.
