An Old Fashioned Belfrx.

Since bells have been used to call con-
gregations to worship tower or bell
gable has formed an important part in
most churches. Sometimes this tower
is quite separate from the rest of the
church. This is often so in Italy, and
also in the case of some English churches.
In hilly countries the church was often
placed in a sheltered valley, and the
belfry perched on the top of some height
near at hand. This was the case of st.
Feve, in Cornwall, and at some places
in Scotland. Instead Of building bel
fry it was not unusual in Scotland to
hang the bell upon some convenient tree
Two hundred years ago this rude con-
trivance might often have been seen
there.-Exchange

One of New YOrk's Poetesses.

That dear puritan of song, Edith
Thomas, though born in Ohio, comes of
the truest, bluest New England blood.
The elder of widows two daughters,
her bringing up was of the simplest, but
nowhere in all the land will you find a
woman with more of fineness and charm
OF manner. She is tall and slight, with
q longish, oval face, bright dark eyes
that see visions and dream dreams, q
pale, clear skin and jet black hair. For
several years now her home has been in
New York, where she is very great fa-
vcrite with some of the most exclusive
circles. Mrs. Vincenzo Botta has been
her social fairy godmother Want of
time and strength, though, keep Miss
Thomas from going out very much. She
is a close student, a very hard worker,
and under all her fame as poet keeps
the fresh heart of child.-Epoch.

A ROMANCE SPOILED.
Moral Is That Young Women Should Deal
Discreetly with Their Fiances.

Moral Is That Young Women Should Deal
Discreetly with Their Fiances.
A charming romance has come to light
over in the unromantic city of Brooklyn.
1t appears that not long ago teacher
in one of the schools for children set
them to writing compositions, of which
she herself was to be the subject-that
is, the scholars were told they might
write out their impressions of their
teacher.
One of these essays, of peculiar literary
excellence for small child, drifted, in
some way, into one of the Brooklyn pa
pers, which in it's turn fell into the hands
of a young dentist in one of the growing
towns in Montana. The description of
the teachers charms so captured his
fancy and fired his imagination that he
was moved to write letter, addressed
to her in care of the paper which pub
Hshed the composition. In due time the
letter reached her hands. She answered
it, and brisk correspondence soon
sprung up, with an exchange of photo
graphs and condolences, which resulted
in the formation of an engagement.
The marriage date was set, and shortly
before the month containing the we'd
ding day arrived the young dentist re-
ceived a letter from his fancee, in which
she said that she had one more important
fact to reveal to him, namely, that while
her picture represented her as being a
young woman of some personal charms,
she considered it only frank to tell him
that her beauty was marred by very de-
fective teeth, which, she naively added,
could easily be repaired after their mar
Eiage without any great expense.
Whether the young woman's physical
defect or her business enterprise de-
stroyed the young mans ideal is not def
initely known, nor is it really known at
present that the marriage is positively
declared off, but it certainly does look
as if it were, for three times since the
receipt of that letter has the slittish
young dentist written to postpone the
ceremony, and the young woman is con-
sequently obliged to keep altering the
fashion of her wedding gowns in order
that her trousseau may very properly
represent the latest modes-a privilege
which every bride is certainly entitled to.
This fable teaches, or should teach,
that a young woman should manage her
matrimonial arrangements with discre-
ton as well as with frankness. New

Riot of Women in Bologna.

Bologna was in an uproar short time
ago in consequence of the violent street
demonstrations of the 1900 women EN-
ployed in the arsenal there. The gov
ernment had just ordered 81 ,000 900 car
tridges, and in the midst of the resulting
hurry and hustle several women threw
about explosives with the greatest care
slessness. A young woman superintend-
ent reported this, and the careless women
were discharged. The superintendent
had already earned the hatred of the
women under her by her pretty face and
popularity with the officers.
The discharge of the woman she had
reported for discipline brought this
hatred to white heat, and conspiracy
was formed to lynch her. The officers
in charge Of the arsenal discovered the
plot and gave the pretty superintendent
a guard of ten policemen, who watched
over her night and day. All the women
in the arsenal then went on strike and
marched up and down the streets, shout
ing, stoning every one they met, and
usually bringing up before the pretty
.superintendent's house. Whenever the
superintendent appeared in the street
the women were after her with clubs
and stones, and were fought back in
hand-to-hand tussles with her escort of
policemen.
At night the women painted the town
till the last Bolognaite was aroused and
brought to his window with loud de-
mands for peace. The government
finally listened to these demands, and
had the streets kept clear at night by a
company of soldiers. Although most OF
the women have since returned to wPrk'
the plot against the fascinating sup@ win

An Unkind Question.

"See that notch on my finger nail?" said
one gentleman Of leisure occupying a
seat in the City Hall park to another
equally tranquil person.
"Yep."
"Well, made that when I borrowed
the last V. It's the only way kin re-
member. When I borrow V cut a
notch close down at the bottom of my
finger nail, and when the notch grows
up to the top pay up"
"Yep?"
can don't that allow me time to con-
slider? Don't it show me about when it's
goin' to come due? An amt I always
got it before me? It's better'n any
memorandum book, amt it?"
"Yep, only
"Oply WHAT"
"When ther notch gifts to the top, does
yer allus pay up?"
There was moments silence and
then, with a scathing look of indigna-
ton, the first gentleman of leisure arose,
put his digital memorandum book in the
remnant of a pocket, and with cold con-
tempt spread upon his countenance,
strolled away.-New York Times.

Not So Dangerous as He Looks.

Because a man has heavy eyebrows, a
hairy face, burly frame and a strong
voice do not thence infer that he is fear
less and resolute. Pluck and determine
ton do not depend upon physical con-
formation. Your man of mighty brawns
bull necked and bull chested, bearded
like pard" and deep voiced as a bas-
soon, may be as arrant cur as ever
turned tail on danger. Who has not at
some time or other seen coarse, swag-
gering giant, with the bone and muscle
of three ordinary men, cowed and 81
fenced by an indomitable little fellow
half his own size? AS rule the most
formidable looking specimens of human
ity are by no means the most TERRIBLE

THE
Diamond Watch Club !

For the benefit of those who do
not already understand the plan we
wish to explain just how it is ope-
rated. We run a club for so weeks,
and every member pays us certain
amount every week. This amount
depends upon the value of the watch
or diamond the member wishes to
get. Thus, if the member desires a
$50 watch or diamond, he or she
must pay 81 a week; if he or she
wants $25 article they can pay
either 90 cents week for fifty weeks
or 81 q week for twenty-five weeks;
and so on. In other words, the
weekly payments must amount to
the price of the watch or diamond
in fifty weeks. Now, in return for
this money which we take in we
give out one watch or diamond a
week until every member has been
supplied. Thus every one gets just
what they pay for and get it OH easy
terms. Our way of giving out the
goods is perfectly fair aud open.
Every member is numbered, and
all of the numbers are placed in a
small sealed envelope in a glass jar
in plain sight, and then they are
thoroughly shaken up and mixed,
and then the first one drawn is
awarded the watch or diamond that
week. We draw a number every
Monday evening at 7:30 and all are
invited to be present if they wish.
We have also found it desirable not
to make known the names of the
members of our club. Ladies, in
particular, object to having it known
how they buy watch or diamond,
or what they pay for it. For this
reason we assign a number to each
member, ard when we have draw
ing we simply announce that such
Il number draws, without mention
ing the name.
This is not in any sense a lottery
or anything of the kind, for every
member is sure to get just what he
pays for. Now, if any member
does not wish to wait until his num-
ber draws, they can at any time pay
up the full amount and take their
goods. We furnish any kind, make
or price of watch desired. or anv
other article you may want, and we
endeavor to use every member per-
fectly fair. Every watch is Just as
fully warranted and the price ls just
as low as if it were bought from us
for the cash down; and besides this
on account of our selling so many
watches we are able to make the
price lower than we otherwise could
possibly do. 1t will readily be seen
that by this plan every member is
put on an even footing with cash
buyers aud is enabled to purchase
much cheaper than under any other
credit system. The payments are
so small that they are hardly felt,
and good article is secured at bot
tom cash rates.

you. c. A. BURBANK,

LENToN SEAsoN.-On Wednes-
day the 10th Of the present month
begins the Lenton Season. Ii will
probably be Of interest TO many
readers TO read little history on
this important and much observed
time. Properly speaking, IL Is the
fasting time before Easter, which II
duly observed In the Roman and in
the Greek, and the Oriental
churches. Under the head of FAST
have been considered the doctrinal
and historical questions connected
with the general practice of fast
ing. 1t remains only to explain
briefly what is peculiar in the in
stitutlon aud the observance Of the
Lenten fast. II Is certainly Of very
ancient, If 1t be not a primitive in
stltution. The earliest illusions to
IL SPEAK Of II as an established usage
handed down from the fathers.
The forty days period, as comnlem-
orative of our Lords forty days
fast, or of the similar perfunctory
fasts Of Moses and Elias, commences
with Ash Wednesday, between
which day and Easter Sunday
(omltting the Sundays, on which
fast is not observed) forty clear
days intervene. The rigor Of the
ancient observance, which excluded
all flesh, and even the so-called
"wbite meats" is now much re-
laxed, but the principle OF permitting
but one meal, with Il slight rejection
or collation., IL everywhere retained.
In the Anglican Church, Lent is re-
tanned rs a church season of the
calender, with special services, and
proper collects and prayers; but the
observance Of the fast Is left to the
discretion Of each individual. The
season IL largely held sacred through
out Salem and vicinity.

an efficient and capable officer. His
administration Of the land Office at

ence in public positions, there is no
question, in my opinion, that the
affairs Of the u. 5. marshal's office,
will, in his charge, be carefully
conducted and rendered salts
factory to all concerned.
The fact that he received the solid
recommendation Of Oregon's delega-
ton IN Congress for the place, is a
sufficient comment In itself as to his
fitness and ability for the place. ]

faithful servant to the republican
party aud well deserves the appoint
ment he has received.
J. G. Wright: He is a good man.

Hon. VIM. Armstrong: The
party have placed Mr.. BARN in
a position for prominence and
aud he il perfectly worthy Of the

son could do no better than to

Hon. J. r. Gregg: have known
Mr.. BARN by reputation for IA num-
Der Of years; became personally ac-
q1ainted with him in 1888. TO
say the least, he is a man well

sltion and will make good mar
shal. He has been successful In all
his undertakings and his close
friends are all jubilant over his APP
pointment. All the working re-
publicans of the state and those es-
peclally who were not in the fight
are more than satisfied with the APP
p0intment the delegation has made.

A dissenting voice was found. Mr..
