A Club piscu.sien.

'sNow, ladies, if have left anything
untold, or there is anything not quite
understood, am ready to answer ques-
tons."
She was the president of a woman's
club and had just returned from a visit
to the famous "Sorosis." She had been
telling them what questions were dis
cussed and what was the programme of
the evening. There were q number of
women present, and they had all been
very much interested.
The president sat down in her chair
and waited for questions. There was a
silence for an instant, and finally timid
voice from the background said:
81 would like to ask a question. Was
twas it a dressy crowd p
The president jumped up and said:
81 just want to tell you! Those ladies
all had on the most beautiful bonnets.
One was heliotrope velvet trimmed
with gold lace. And another was made
of bands of jet and pink roses (the
ladies commenced to gather around her
with enraptured expressions) 'sThe hand
soonest of all was worn by Mrs. -
just then the president of this woman's
club caught a smile on the face of a
newspaper correspondent who was pres
ent, She drew herself up with great
dignity and said:
Ladies, think we are wandering
from the subject"
The ladies settled back, conscious OF
the superior advantages of this. popular
club, but with heeting expression OF
disappointment, that gave indication OF
a willingness to 'wander" still farther

Latest Use for the chi1d,s Hatr.

When Dotty Dimple has her first thatch
of long curls cropped off her mother
doesn't gather them up one by one as she
used to do, and lay them carefully away
in long box with an incription some
thing like this on the outside, ssDotty's
curls, cut off when she was years old !"
She gathers them up, to be sure, and car
ries them away with her, but the next
day or so she is seen going into certain
hairdresser's in Twenty-third street.
where notice prominently displayed in
the window reads, DOLLS Wigs Made
Here" And Dotty Dimple goes with
her, of course, and carries Rosamond
Arabella or Fifine, or whatever the name
may be of the potential little lady in
bisque. And in box the mother carries
the curls.
Then the attendant gravely measures
the bisque pate after he has first removed
the shock of flax that covered it, and
looks wise over the box of curls and says,
"Oh, yes, madam, there will be plenty
of them, think" Madam and Dotty
Dimple go away after a great many low
ing pats and admonitions, and in a few
days Rosamond Arabella comes home no
longer with the haxen pate, but wearing
a lovely blonde wig of real hair-hair that
curls up about her temples and down her
back just as Dotty Dimple's own does
And that is just what it is, Dotty Dim
ple's own severed curls. And thus are
the demands of sentiment and fashion

tory it still offers greater inducements
to home seekers than any place we have
seen, not excepting North Dalles, here
we have deep rich soil, an abundance
of the purest water by digging from ten
to forty feet. The surface is practically
level, sloping to the north, while the
river which stretches away to the west
and northwest is unsurpassed for scenic
beauty, the soil is well adapted for rails
ing all kinds of fruits, berries and grapes
without irrigation. Some two thousand
trees, mostly Italian prunes have been
SET out this last season fifteen buildings
have been erected the past year, many
OF the lots having been sold to parties
who bought merely to hold for specula-
ton.
While travelling down Five-mile hill
recently we noticed that it was very
rough, and we thought what fine time
it would be to fill up the low places and
make the trough way smooth while
the ground is moist enough TO pack and
while the farmers are idle and have the
time to do it. Call them out Mr.. Road
Supervisor and get the blessings of a
grateful public.
While reading of the grand success of
the sugar beet industry in Nebraska,
we have been thinking that it would be
worth while to investigate the subject in
Wasco county. We believe the soil and
climate is well adapted to the culture
of the sugar beet. Try it farmers, the
seed will be furnished you free by the
state agricultural experiment station and
they will also analyze samples sent to
them.

A NEW MOVE.
Wee Xiv Trade Review,

New YORK. January 12-R. q. Dun &Co .'s
weekly review of trade says:
The year opens with the expected improve
ment in the money market and collections
resulting from the free annual disbursements
which have been larger than usual. The
hopeful feeling in most branches of trade
continues also, and the railroad outlook is
improved. II is becoming clearer every day
that one great obstacle to prosperity Is the
fear that debasen:ent of the dollar may p-o-
duce violent contraction, withdrawal of com
investments, collapse of credits and disas-
ter winch will be felt by every branch OF
trade and industry.
Iron. steel and cotton manufactures are
depressed by shrinkage in credits and lower
prices.
The wooden manufacture is doing fair,
though extending moderately and buying
wool with caution. IL the boot and shoe
manufacture the outlook is regarded as espe-
cially favorable.
Reports from different cities generally in
dictate large volume of traffic. with marked
Improvement since the monetary pressure
.abated. Boston notes large sales OF boots,
shoes. leather. wool and lumber. Philadel-
phia trade is not brisk, but still good. Chi
cage, st. Louis and Cincinnati report brisk
trade. Greater activity prevails throughout
the south.
The monetary markets throughout the
country are less stringent. and collections
are more favorable. Speculative operations
are wholesomely inactive.
Wheat is u lower: corn, cotton and pork
unchanged; oats, hogs and oil higher, but
coffee \ lower. The most active center of
speculation Is the stock exchange.
Foreign trade continues favorable and ex-
ports show a large gain over last year. while
there is some decrease in imports. For some
weeks at least comparatively easy money
may be expected if there should be no dis
turbance arising from legislation.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country for the past week number 403,
against 34S last week, and 313 the cores
ponding week last year.

They All Wore EN-.

Near-sightedness may not be o great
misfortune. but doubtless it is a sort of
condition that ~loves company" The
New York Sun relates this incident:
The passengers in Broadway car
smiled little when they looked about
and found that every one of the nine
passengers-fou four men. three women. a
young girl and boy-was wearing
spectacles. Then a man in middle life
came in, and everybody watched him
while he drew newspaper from his
pocket, took ont his spectacle case, put
on his spectacles with deliberate care
and looked all about him to find every
pair of eyes in the car smiling at him
from behind the disks of glistening
glass.
Everybody looked just little more
amused than before, and when the con-
ductor came in to collect his fares,
with pair of gold-rimmed glasses
perched on his nose, the young girl
looked at the boy and giggled, the boy
smiled broadly back, while the old gen
tleman called out with a Boythorn
roar:
"Bless my soul! We're all in the
same basket"

THE .JeWelers' Weekly notes that the
war on watch clubs is rapidly spread
ing to every part of the country. 1t
SAYS the lottery laws of the United
States have little bearing on the sub
ject except as they deprive the promot-
ers of the benefits they might other
wise derive from newspaper advertis-
ing. The prosecution thus far conduct
ed have been based on the statutes of
the States wherein they have occurred.
Missouri, Ohio, and one or two other
States have already condemned it, and
New York, Pennsylvania, and New
Jersey courts will soon be called on to
decide the question, the public prose-
cutors in each case saying that these
clubs are clearly within the provisions
of the penal statutes.

German

A. Hale, proprietor of the De Witt
House, Lewiston, and the Tontine
Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men
meet the world as it comes and goes,
and are not slow in sizing people
and things up for what they are
worth. He says that he has lost a
father and several brothers and Sis
tiers from Pulmonary Consumption,
and is himself frequently troubled
with colds, and he,
Hereditary often coughs enough
to make him sick at
Consumptlonhis stomach. When
ever he has taken a
cold of this kind he uses Boschee's
German Syrup, and it cures him
every time. Here is a man who
knows the full danger of lung trou-
bles, and would therefore be most
particular as to the medicine he used.
What is his opinion? Listen! Il
use nothing but Boschee's German
Syrup, and have advised, presume,
more than a hundred different per-
sons to take it. They agree with
me that it is the best cough syrup
in the market" o

MILITIA ORDERED OUT.

Dead Lock In NobraSka.

LINCOLN, NEB., January 9.-The proceed
ings in the legislature we're of an extraor-
binary character. Both houses assembled in
joint session to canvass the vote for state
officers. Lieutenant Governor Micklejohn
advanced to the chair to preside. Speaker
Elder, of the house, refused TO vacate and
the two officers occupied chairs side by
side. each claiming the gavel. The speaker
attempted to call the body to order and was
himself called to order by the lieutenant gov
ernor. The hall wGs crowded and the ex-
element was intense. The official returns
were brought in by the secretary of state and
laid before the convention. The speaker was
directed by the lieutenant governor to open
the package and read the returns. He began
TO do so, but was advised by the attorney fcr
the independent party not 10. He then re-
fused to go on with the work. The lieutenant
governor ruled that no business could he
done until the returns were canva>sed, and
deadlock resulted.
The point involved is this: The lndepend-
ent or alliance party is contesting the cleo
ton of the democratic governor and the re-
manning state officers, all republicans. They
wish to prevent the announcement of the
election of these officers. evidently prefer
ring to seat the contestants directly.

The fast new cruiser Philadelphia is
the second of the name. The first bore
a notable part in American naval his
tory. In the war against the pirates of
Tripoli 1S0l to 1909 the gallant wood
en- cruiserP Philadelphia was wrecked and
captured by the Tripolitans. They
turned her into a first class war ship of
their kind and placed her in the harbor

catur, with a force of eighty-three men.

Philadelphia to set fire to her and blow
her up, destroying her completely with
large number of the piratical force
on board, and then sailed away safely.
This exploit helped to make the fame of
the American navy in those days.

Cutting Criticism.

WASHINGTON. D. c., January 9.-Consider-
able criticism is heard in the war department
against Colonel Forsythe's suspension. As
to the charge that Colonel Forsythe allowed
his men to Kill women and children, 1t is as
serted that it would be impossible in the con-
fusion of an unexpected fight and the subse-
quent stampede and pursuit to detect the sex
of the Sioux. One officer remarked: The
women and men look very much alike In
their blankets ana the former are quite as
fierce fighters as the men. The Sioux sauaw
is quite as bad an enemy as a buck at times.
! The little boys, too, can shoot quite as well
as their fathers. And what a spectacle it
would be for soldier on seeing boy point
ing gun at him, with as true an aim as the
best marksman in the army, to stop his ad-
vance and cry out: ''My son, you must drop
that gun. for YOU ase minor, and am not
allowed to hurt YOU"
Another officer said: ''At this rate the
Sioux troubles will grow to be jus. as bad as
the events of the first three years of the war,
when every officer with an independent COM
mand had not only an enemy in front of
him, but court martial behind him."

In the matter of rapid transit, Ne W
York might learn much from a con-
sideration of the new underground line
that has just been put into oper-
alton in London. The line is only three
miles in length, but the best English
engineering authorities consider that
the system is destined to revolution
ize the whole plan of metropolitan rail
way construction" A shaft fifty or
sixty feet deep was sunk, and from this
two tunnels were dug out and lined
with circular iron plates. Inside these
tunnels the trains are run by an electric
motor. Electric lighting, elevators

tunnel single rate of fare and other
arrangements very much after the man.
ner of our elevated roads complete
the system. The cost of the work was
very heavy, but there is general belief
that the patronage will make it a pay
ing enterprise.

THE Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
has rendered an opinion on an interest
ing question never before raised in that
State. A brother and sister who had
lived together many years and were
advanced in age, joined in making
will. Each had separate property, and
the will provided that it should 60 to
the survivor during his or her life, and
afterwards to be disposed of in speci-
fed way. The brother died first and
has property went to his sister. Before
her death she made new will and the
question was raised whether she could
revoke the double will. The court said
she could, Here is its reasoning: The
will so made must be regarded there
fore as the separate will of each tesla
tor as fully as though the will of each
had been separately drawn up and
signed. There was no joint property
or Joint devise. 1t is not, therefore, a
Joint will. 1t is not a contract between
the makers in 70 M or effect. No con-
sideration passed from one to the
other, and none is suggested accept the
affectionate interest which this aged
brother and sister felt for each other.
This moved them to provide for each
others comfort BY life estate in the
survivor, but beyond that each gave
to the remainder what the other
owned. Such will is properly exc
cuted as double will. 1t must be con-
strued and treated as the separate will
of each testator who signs it, in the
same manner rs though separate copy
had been executed by each. Whether
a Joint will disposing of joint estate
may be revoked by either party is
question on which the courts have not

PINE RIDGE, S. D., January 9.-Jack Red
Cloud. Big Road, High Horse, Lone Bear,
Lone Hawk and the five other Indians who
came in from the hostile camp to hold
pow-wow with General Miles, were allowed
briefer conference than they expected.
General Miles plainly told them to come
in and surrender: that he was not there to
listen to their complaints; that they would
be allowed to 60 to Washington to make
them after the trouble was arranged here.
They stated that nearly, if not quite, all of
the Pine Ridge Indians were DESTROYS of
peace ana wanted to come back to the
agency.
General Miles had another short talk with
these Indians and they sc. out on their re-
turn. 1t is thought most of the Pine Ridge
Indians will be here Ii day or two.
