Iova,s Fond Home Blasted.

The tender, budlike hopes of Lewiston
youth who has been dreaming the first few
winks of loves young dream are crushed,
and he sometimes thinks that he never will
recover, but we think he will.
He has been keeping young lady in
Raymond up nights good deal lately, and
she has been reciprocating the attachment.
The only party to che affair who was not
warmly and deeply in earnest was the
young lady's father, and for some reason
or other he didn't seem to warm up a bit
and didn't seem to pay much attention to
it one way or the other. The Lewiston
young man has been over there good
deal, his disease of the heart keeping him
restless at home. Now and then he has
hitched up the horse of his father-in-law-
never-to-be and has taken his girl out to
drive in the sober moonlight, and by ju-
dicious care in getting the sleigh out noise
lessly he has finally learned how to evade
suspicion and drive with one hand at the
same time.
A large, mellow night came along and
stopped at that town very recently, and
the young man was caracoling the old
mans horse over the hills gayly. Coming
back he committed a Treat error. He tied
the horse with a slip moose. The horse did
not die. He was discovered before death
had claimed him for his own, but he was
almost moribund and the flash that had
erstwhile been in his eye had flashed out
He was depressed beast.
The old gentleman made no charge for
the extra kerosene, coal and wood that had
been consumed in the front parlor, but he
says that young man with such danger

his girl, and the match is of.-Lewiston

Andalusian Enthusiasm,

If African women are to be transported

vie with them for the right, for the Anda-
lusiap is q far more beautiful gem, and
wopthy Of being born in the shadow Of the
Alhambra or the Alcazar.
Her form is soft and flexible, the quint-
ESSENCE of the word "pliant" applied to
her She crouehes in the smallest corner;
she robs the sharpest angle OF It's sharp
ness by sliding stealthily around it; she
winds her supple body through the narrow
est ereyiOe, Her senses partake daintily Of
what may be offered TO them, Her nose
fingers but moment above the fragrant
ehalice of the rose; her lips sip but single
drop from the fiery malaga and reject the
rest.
Her most powerful sense, Unsuitable, yet
held in check by her. and holding others
within its wondrous ban, is her large,
beautiful eye. In the midst of the snowy
Bplendor of her face this strange, black
flame Is the confession of the extremes
which unite in her breast. Chicago GLOBE

A Wonderful New y-Originated
in Oregon-The Matteson.
There has been originated in the
great strawberry region about Turn
er and Aumsville new seeding va
riety propagated by Matteson & Mat
teson, at their RedHill Berry Farm.
The first berries sent tothe CAPITAL
JOURNAL Office, Salem, last year
were of this variety, and they were
the most perfect fruit in every re-.
spect that was shown in this city F..
The berry is of a deep red clear
through, high flavor, yet sweeter
than most kinds. An experience in
producing the finer sorts of straw
lerries, leads the editor Of this paper
o say that he does not know of A
SUPERIOR BERRY IN FINENESS OF
QUALITY in every respect to
THE MATTFsoN.
He has secured the sole agency
rom the Originators and now for the
first time places limited supply ON
the market. Testing the fruit, and
description Of its habits, leads the
editor of the JOURNAL to conclude
that it has exactly those qualities
,I,at must be sought after to produce
iine berries In Oregon. It is of high
'olor, great sweetness, rich flavor,
fneaty, firnI, not watery, no hard
center, aud exceedingly palatable.

plaine's six Questions.

Secretary Blaine has made public
his latest communication I'm the
BeEring sea matter. It Is addressed
70 Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
minister, and reads as follows:
The notifications which Lord
Salisbury suggested in the questions
for arbitration do not wholly meet
the views of the president, but the
president changes the text Of the
third and fifth in such manner as
will, Il is hoped, result In All agree
ment between the two government 5.
While Lord Salisbury suggests a
different mode of procedure from
that embodied in the sixth question,
the president does not understand
him actually to. object to the ques
tion, and he therefore assumes that
1t is agreed to. The six questions
as now proposed by the president
are as follows:
First-What exclusive jurisdiction
III buc btd iloN hhDN II 10 pNhiih-
sea, and what exclusive rights in
the seal fisheries therein, did Russia
assert and exercise prior aud up t.
the time Of the cession of Alaska to
the United States?
Second How far were these claims
OF jurisdiction as to the seal fisheries
recognized and conceded by GreaI
Britain?
Third-Was the body of water
known as Behring sea included IN
the phrase "Pacific ocean," as used
In the treaty of 1925 between Great
Britain and Russia, and what rights
If any, in the Behring sea were beld
and exclusively exercised By Russia
after said treaty?
Fourth-Did not all the rights of
Russia, as to jurisdiction and as to
the seal fisheries in the Behring sea,
east of the water boundary described
in the treaty between the United
States and Russia, Of March 80,
1867, pass unlmpaired to the United
States under that treaty?
Fifth-Has the United States any
right, and If so, what right, of pro-
lection of property In the fur seals
frequentiAg the islands of the United
States in the Behring sea, when
such seals are found outside the
ordinary three-mile limit?
Sixth--If the determinations OF
the foregoing questions shall leave
the subject in such a position that
the concurrence of Great Britain is
necessary in prescribing the regula-
tions for the killing of fur seals in
any part of the waters of Behring
sea, then it shall be further deter
mineu:
First-How far, If at all, outside
the ordinary territorial limits, is il
necessary that the United States
should exercise an exclusive juris-
diction, in order TO protect the seals
for the time living upon the islands
of the United States and feeding
therefrom?
Second-W Whether a closed season
during which the killing of seals In
the waters of Behring sea, outside
the ordinary territorial limits, shal
be prohibited, is necessary to save
the seal fishing industry, so valuable
to mankind, from destruction, and
If so,
Third-What months, or parts OF
months, should be included in such
season, and over what water should
extend?
