The Oldest Oregonians.
From the Salem (Ore.) statesman.

Miss Helen Leslie, daughter of Rev.
David Leslie, was born in what is now
Fairfield, Marion County, in 1889. She
is still living in Salem, and she is prob
ably the oldest native white person liv-
ing in the State. Maria Campbell,
daughter of Rev. Hamilton, now Mrs.
Smith, of Portland, was born in the fall
of 1S49, in the old Institute Building in
Salem. She was the first white child
born on Salem Prairie. Julia Ellen
Waller, daughter of Rev. A. F. Waller,
now Mrs. Stratton, was born in the M.
E. parsonage in Oregon City in May
1871, and was doubtless the first white
child of either sex born ia that city. In
the autumn of the same year, 1871
Abbie Beers, daughter of Rev. Alanson
Beers, and afterward Mrs. Jesse Parrish
was born in the same house. Early in
1912 George Holman, son of Joseph Hol-
man, was born in or near Salem. So far
as tie information of the writer extends,
he was born on Salem Prairie. In Au-
gust, 1913, 0. A. Waller, son of Rev. A.
Waller, was born in Oregon City, and
later in the autumn of the same year
Charles Parrish, son of Rev. j. l.. Par
IRISH, on Clatsop Plains. This record
may omit some names, but it gives the
principal facts, and brings us down to
the immigration of 1S43, into the history
of which it is not necessary to go.

IN A GROVE.
NIX pEMPsrEE SHERMAN.

BY FRANK DEMPsTER SHERMAN.
Yonder beyond the meadow. lies the town.
Its white spires cleaning in tie golden glare
Like slender swords of flame uplifted there
To guard its peace and strike invaders down; ,
There is no sound, save when that minstrel
brown
The thrush, in slumber sings all unaware,
Or when the bees across the amber air,
Cry from the clover wherein they drown.
Near by, in shadow patches browse the sheep:
Below, brook in silence slips along
With scarce ripple on its silver tide:
And here, within this green domain of Sleep,
In dreams see Theocritus with song
90 down the path, Pan piping at his side :!

VICTIM OF A VAMPIRE.
A Young Girl ir Venezuela Killed in
Strange WaJ.

"A
Strange WaJ.
From the Chicago Times.
Mrs. Cornelius Rainwater, OF Savan-
nah, Ga, received recently a letter
from her brother, James Uhl, who is
engaged in the wholesale coffee business
in Calabozo, Venezuela, in which eplstle
he gave an account of the singular death
of his daughter last September. The
young lady, who had just entered her
18th wear. had been q somnambu llst
since childhood; and it was supposed
that it was while in one of her frequent
frances that she left the house and wan
dered several miles out in the country;
She was missed, and, on being searched
for, was at last found near the roadside
dead, with large vampire cllnglng TO
her throat.
The bat at the approach of the search
ers rose from the body of its victim and
attempted to fly off, but was 80 gorged
with blood as to be unable to make its
escape, and was shot by one OF the
party. The placidity of the young
lady's countenance showed that her
death had been painless one, and 1t
was probable that it was not until she
sank down, still fast asleep, that the
vampire fastened upon ner. "A eluall
wound, resembling the puncture OF a
large needle, Just over the jugular VEN,
marked where the small white teeth
had liberated the blood which it had
then sucked, all the white soothing its
victim to deeper sleep by a gentle
lulling movement of it's outspread
wings, which is the habit of these
creatures. The one which killed Miss
Uhl was unusually large. measuring
three feet and some inches from the tip
of one wing to that of the other, and
while it's weight would have naturally
been ten or twelve pounds, it was SO en-
gorged that it was found to weigh some
thing over twenty.

THE curious discovery has recently
been made that vegetarians are never

La GrIpne-A FeM PoInters.

Persons who have a cold are much
more likely to take the influenza or SO
called, la grippe.
1t is much more severe when accom-
panied by cold.
The most critical time is when re-
covering from the disease, as slight ex-
posure will often cause a relapse and
then is almost certain to end ia lung
fever or pneumonia.
The feet should be kept dry and
warm, the body well clothed and care
used to avoid exposure.
The bowels should be kept regular and
persons physically weak should take
quinine 10 keep up the vitality.
With these precautions and a free
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
prompt recovery is reasonably certain.
That remedy is unequalled for a severe
cold and this disease requires precise
~ the same treatment. For safe by
