TALLY, too. At present the articles are
slowed away in Beth's mothers gar
ret, but there is quite pile of them
by this time. It's pity, though, that
the card playing season is so nearly
over now added Peggy.
You see, they're furnishing their
fat with prizes won at cinch and
euchre parties. They are fine players,
and it is rare thing, indeed, when
they do not come home with either
the first or second prize. Their friends
have entered into the spirit of the
thing, and whenever a girl invites
them to come in for an informal lit
tie evening she buys something which
will shine in the famous visionary fiat.
Then the other players, too, have
caught the contagion, and they work
with wonderfully unselfsh spirit to
help the struggling would-be house
keepers win. Beth told me the other
day that she and Fred had enough
'bonbon spoons would fit out jewelry
shop. AS for pictures, she thinks she
will have to lay the superfuous ones
on the floor, instead of having rugs.
Her doilies and embroidered center
pieces will last her for years, and there
is a whole shelf full of books for the
prospective library.
I of course there are several dupli-
Gates among all these things, but a
clumsy young housekeeper will soon
reduce that surplus. Beth says that
her only fear is that with next win
ter's earnings added to the wedding
presents which will come some day
the fat will have to be enlarged into
a storage warehouse. The whole
thing is lots more exciting than the
usual humdrum accumulation of mere
bits for the trousseau. If brides would
put little more thought into getting
together hall rugs and dresser covers
and library lamps, and less into pale
kid gloves and lace petticoats there
would be fewer young men with a hor-
ror of matrimony. l wonder if it
would be unmaidenly for girl to be-
gin a collection of things for house
keeping before she has found the ex-
act man who is to pay rent for the
fat ?"-Chicago Daily News.

is large spring Of pure, c Id water,
and although this spring is fully a
mile from camp there is constant
stream of men with buckets going
there all day long. There are other
springs nearer camp, but the water in
this spring is SO much better than
the others that the men do not regret
the long walk to obtain it.
Just back of Capt Watkins tent is
large tree that some time in the past
has been shattered by shot and shell
and it still bears the scars. And
many of the large trees throughout
the camp bear traces Of the terrible
hail of iron and lead that occurred
here during the war between the
States. Several of the men have
found MIME balls and worm eaten
tent stakes and broken swords, all
mute evidences of that awful struggle.

A Murderer Arrested.
,rcm The Eussns Revister:

From the Eugene Register:
Recently an old man named Nelson
was assaulted by two tramps on freight
train south of Rosebnrg- The old man
vas put of OF the train during the night
and crawled some distance to . house,
where he was found the next morning
nearly dead, but he was able to give .
good description OF his assailants-
He had been struck over the head with
q couplin pin A search resulted in two
men styled "whitey" and "Blackey''
being arrested for the crime a Roseburg.
Their clothes we're covered with blood
and they answered the description given
BY Nelson. After being arrested
"Blacky" got away from the officers, and
it seems has just been recsptured at Cot
tage Grove.
Sheriff Barnes states that Whitley
will undoubtedly hang though be claims
that the blow that killed Nelson Was
dealt by "Blacky" and that he twhitsy'
was standing so near that the blood
spurted on his clothes.
