The case is given as follows; Mr.
Wheeler, the Rock Greek nursery man
frequently has business in Salem, and
IN going 10 that city passes the home
OF Mrs. Myers. near Stayton. Miss
zinc, her sister; and the subject Of this
nearly tragedy, lives with her. Mr..
Wheeler has seen the young lady but
few times in passing the house, vet
often enough for her to become COM

last week Miss Zinc appeared at the
home Of Mr.. Wheeler on the North
Santiam above Rock Creek and said
she had come to marry him. The ac.
ton was somewhat of surprise to
Mr. Wheeler and placed him an EN-
oarrlsing situation. He temporized
matters with her, however, later In
the day by persuading her to 90 to his
neighbor, Mr.. Barzee's to spend the
night. On the following morning she
returned to Wheeler's aud returned to
Barzee's at night. On Wednesday

the value to health of the pure liquid

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

better for it.
CHURN early in the morning; don't
wait till the air becomes heated

and the main thing is not to overdo it
GIVE the cows some sweet corn. If
you have none, feed field corn. You
can't afford to have them dry up.
HARD times did not take root in good
dairy localities. The creameries paid
cash as usual and the farmers do not
know the times are hard. r
STIR the cream in the cream jar every
time an addition is made, and stir from

the cows a good night feed, either in
the manger or in night pasture.
WHEN the butter comes" in granules

ion of certain knowing ones to the con-
trary. Retrenchment has been the
order in the management of late and
many large salaries have been reduced
or entirely cut off, and In other ways
the expenses have been reduced, all of
which goes to show that our great ex-
position is in fair way to prove a

The history of the Sunday closing at
the worlds fair has been interesting
and highly amusing. First the Of
ficials dcclai ed, in private session, that
the gates must be opened on Sunday
because they could not afford to waste
the day. and in public they pleaded
the cause of the poor workingman, who
had no other day TO come to the fair.
Religious exercises were arranged

within the grounds and the gates
opened, but somehow the Chicago
workingman did not realize his advan-
tages, or found that "a day of sight
seeing was the poorest possible prep
aration for week Of toll. lie lid not
need the Bible to counsel day of rest.
Experience became an individual and
potent teacher. The small crowds that
did come on Sunday were far more
likely to make their way to the theaters,
dancing halls and beer gardens Of the
Plaisance, than to the Art gallery or
Horticultural hall, and few appre-
ciate the advantage of paying fifty
cents to go to church on the fair
grounds when far more attractive
preaching is offered free of cost out
side the gates. The majority of state
buildings, all the exhibits of Great
Britain and her colonies and hundreds
of others were closed on Sunday, and
the attendance Slowly diminished
Then the authorities discovered that
the poor. worl,ing:nan" inside the
grounds needed day of rest, and, on
account of this and other deductions,
decided to close The great gates.

Several of the states have he'd their

marked by some special order of exer-

Babies from Far-On Lands Who Add to
the Interest of the Exhibits.

| the Interest of the Exhibits.
Among the young people who are
visiting the Columbian exposition this
summer are Javanese baby, three
Chinese boys of from two to six years,
"a pickaninny from Dahomey, dancing
! Soudaneso baby, little Bdlouin girl
who dances in the Arab encampment,
a pappoose or two in the Indian village,
and a half-dozen Egyptian boys who
belabor the tiny gray donkeys in the
Cairo street These boys and girls did
not visit the fair to see the curious
things in the wonderful white build
ings, but to be parto the show. They
are there to be looked at, not to look,
ard they are among the most interest
ing of all the exhibits.
The black baby lives in the Dahomey
village, which is supposed to look as If
1t had been picked up in Africa and set
down In Chicago. In some respects it
certainly does resemble the hot coun-
try about which Mr.. Glave has told us
during the past year. The ground is
sandy enough and the sunshine hot
enough for Sahara, aud the reed
matched huts which line the high
board fence surrounding the village are
uncomfortable enough in appearance
to satisfy the most enthusiastic eX-
plorer. In the middle of the village is
larger hut, open at the sides aud COW
cred with thatch, and in this hut the
jewellers of the Dahomey village dance
the war dance of their native country
every hour or two Tor the entertain
ment of the white people who stroll in
to see them. All of these men and
women are hideous in their gay calico
clothing with strings of teeth and
strengthening bits of stone and metal
hanging about their necks and dangling
from their arms and ears. But the
pickaninny is as cunning as most other
babies are. When l saw him he was
sitting in a puddle of dirty water with
no clothing on to get soiled, watching
his mother and older brother securing
two or three brass and silver rings with
a bit OF RAJ and a handful of sand
The little fellow wanted the rings to
play with, and when he found that he
could not have them he set up howl
that sounded very much like white
boy of two years crying because he
could not have porcelain clock or a
circus wagon to play with. -Harper's

these meetings between the peo-

these unique entertainments. Such
bouts were hardly ever before wit

lover of notoriety and prefers the re-
tirement of his own quiet quarters and
the seductive fumes of his peculiar pipe
