How to Pack Exhibits.

The following instructions have been
received from the floral department of
the horticultural society for publication:
Have roses cut on the evening of the
10th inst. Leave as long stems as possi-
bic and pack each rose separate, per-
fectly dry in paper. After the roses are
wrapped, pack same in a wooden box
tied and take to Wells, Fargo Express,
where we will call for them as soon as
they arrive and treat same.
Should you send any potted plants for
exhibition, which we hope, take fiat
box, as high as pots of respective plants
are, pack pots solid in moss, or in other
words put your plants into said box and
have moss put between the pots SO that
pots cannot move; then nail two strips
of wood on the sides as long as the
plants, nail another piece of wood across
and tack cheese cloth over it.

WI A. COMMENCEMENT.

Probably the newly dedicated Baptist
church will never again be taxed to the
extent it was last night to contain the
hundreds of people who embled to
listen to the commencement exercises of
the Wasco Independent academy-cer-
tainly not until next year. The aisles
were filled with chairs, and every avail
able foot of space was utilized for seats.
And then a vast number of people stood
up throughout the long evening, their
interest remaining unabated to the end
The walls around the platform were
girdled with the beautiful foliage of the
state flower, the ilex-leaved mahonia,
among whose leaves were fastened in
prodigal abundance the beautiful roses
which grow here. The arch back of the
pulpit was festooned with flowers and
from the center suspended a hammock,
literally covered with flowers. On either
side were terraces of syringas. From
side to side of the building was the motto
of the class, made of marguerites, the
class flower, and reading "Non soluns
esse, sed esse MOBILIZE meaning, mot only
to be, but to be noble"
The exercises opened with duet by
Miss Lang and Miss Newman, very
musical selection entitled "Walzer
Capricen.''

Crowned After Death.

A French princess is said to have
been crowned after death. This was
Inez dc Castro, who was murdered in
the fourteenth century BY three as
sassins. The lady was the wife Of a
Portuguese crown prince, and she was
murdered by order Of the king her
father-in-law. The prince never
spoke to his father again. and when
the old man died the remains Of Inez
were lifted from the grave, placed on
a magnificent throne and crowned
queen of Portugal. The clergy, the
nobility and the people did homage
TO the corpse, and kissed the bones
of her hands. There sat the dead
queen, her yellow hair hanging like
a veil around her CHASTITY form. One
neshless hand held the scepter, the
symbol of royalty.

The old woman looked at him with

up and went out. When she returned
she had rifle with her and had it
cooked. She seated herself in the
doorway, the gun across her LAP At
this exhibition Big Jim found ou.. for
the first time, that he was q coward.
The uncanny sight OF the old woman,
in this out-of-the-way tomb-like
locality. and dallying with a cooked
gun, all united in a conspiracy
against his courage. Little sensa-
tions, like cold finger tips, began to
play up and down his spinal column.
Then his lower jaw got loose and be-
gan to play against the upper one
rapidly and automatically At last he
said:

with a grin OF beastly Joy.
Big Jim knew now, of course, that
the old woman intended toIguard him
until the arrival of her husband, after
which he would be murdered and his
money taken.
AMain, in a despairing plea, he said:

But Jim now felt his time was up,
and he tried TO remember q prayer

He was fumbling over the debris OF
memory IN search OF the prayer When
his ear was startled BY chusglng
