"WhatMakeS Mamma
So CrOSS%
A Child's Question Answered by
a Famous Specialist.

The mother had one of her nervous
spells, and the little boy, had been
warned to be very quiet. The restless
little fellow moved on tlptoe about the
room trying to amuse himself but al
most every move he made was followed
by the querulous cry of the mother:
willie, don't make 50 much noise" AT
last, in his over-anXiety to be quiet, the
boy dropped a book on the floor, and his
mothers angry scream of protest drove
him to the shelter of his fathers arms,
The father laid down his paper and
earessed the fearful boy who whispered
between his sobs: Papa, what makes
mamma so CROSSE" Papa made no answer.
He did not know how to answer. He
could only wonder that in a few years the
gay and sprighty girl he had married
had lost all her spirits had faded in face
and fallen off in form, and had developed
an Impotence Of temper and an irrita-
bility of disposition which was generally
ascrlbed to NERVES"
But there was something else that papa
did not know. He did not know that
every such nervous outbreak caused his
wife intense mental suffering because of
her own weakness. He did not know
that even now behind closed fingers that
hid her face the mother was weeping
because of her own passionate impa-

NOT DRY SHoD,
Excellent Time Made by
Various Local Companies.

Clinton, Oct ia raw afternoon,
with dashes of rain, and heavy ground
underfoot, kept the annual inspection,
parade and trial Of the Clinton fire
department from being a primrose path
of dalliance for either firemen or spec
tators. But the conditions gave the
men chance TO show that they are
no dry-shod fremen, and are able to do
excellent work under trying conditions.
In appearance, in attendance, and in
the speed with which they conducted
the various maneuvers of fire fighting,
they justified the confidence of Chief
Lawrence Fury in them, and increased
the pride the people Of Clinton have, al
ways had in them.

Tho Ingenious Man.

He was a very ingenious man. he
had made an invention which was OF
great value. He thought SO, at least,
if the world did not, and he had his
invention patented. It was combi-
nation camp stool, cane and umbrella.
The cane was the usual form Of the in
vention. At big parade nothing
could be more convenient, and for an
ordinary, unexpected rainstorrn, what
could be better? A man is sure to have
his walking stick with him.
1t was not SO long after the invention
had been perfected that the man was
out walking with his wife, and q sud-
den shower came up. There were no
cars accessible, and the only thing to
do was to run, and the unlucky pair
did this with q vengeance, reaching
the house hot, uncomfortable and
pretty wet.
"Well, we are here at last, said the
man, drawing long breath of relief.
YES said the wife. disconsolately,
.but I think have ruined my new
bonnet. And, John Smith, she
added, suddenly, with little scream.
what do you think you have done?
You had that old invention of yours
cane-camp-stool umbrella affair - in
your hand all the time ready for an
emergency, and forgot to use it.

it is a great joke.-N. Y. Times.

A Fugitive Kings Fete.

"About four miles from Philadelphia
there was a magnificent mansion built
after the Italian manner in the previ-
GUS century by Governor John Penn,
and known as Lansdowne house In
honor of the Marquis of Lansdowne.
Here Joseph Bonaparte," records WI,
liam Perrine, writing in the April
Ladies' Home Journal OF When the
King of Spain Lived on the Banks OF
the Schuylknl,' established himself
in rural ease until he had built his
palace at Bordentown, N. ]. Toward
the end of the summer of 1917 Joseph
had little dinner party at Lansdowne.
Among the guests was DIR. Benjamin
Rush's daughter, Julia, who was
pleased with what she thought his
fluent conversation, his urbane man
ner and his good looks, and who, per-
haps, was somewhat inclined to sympa-
thize with his complaint that Napoleon
had not been at all disposed to let him
have much of his own way either as SOL
der or king.
"On one occasion only he gave q
magnificent fete on the lawn of his
princely estate, and all the beaus and
bellies of Philadelphia who had been in
vited dressed In their most picturesque
summer gowns and made haste to at
tend. 1t was brilliant afternoon fete,
and Bonaparte was the center OF attrac-
ton as he stood on his lawn and well
coined his guests. But it is doubtful
whether there were at any time more
than half dozen persons in Philadel-
phia or for that matter in the whole
country, to whom he bore anything like
close and confidential relations. he
liked little children, and they were
sometimes in the habit of speaking OF
him as the good Mr.. Bonaparte.

Alaska SALMON FISHERIES.

Secretary Of the Treasury Has Bill
for Their Protection.
The secretary Of the treasury has
submitted to congress the draft of q
bill for the amendment Of the laws
now in force for the protection Of the
salmon fisheries Of Alaska. The secre-
tary thinks that the present laws are
inadequate to meet the existing re-
uuirements and should be amended.
The proposed changes are based on rec
concentrations submitted by agents
who we're appointed to investigate the
state of the fisheries, and are as fol-
lows:
Traps should only be erected under
regulations prescribed by the secretary
Of the treasury.
The protection to salmon trout
should be withdrawn, as those fish
are said to be destructive to salmon
spawn and fry.
The laws should be extended to ter
ritorial waters SO as to prevent the
erection of distractions in rivers and
streams.
No salmon canneries should be erect.
ed in Alaska without permission from
the secretary of the treasury.
An annual statement should be made
by all canneries and such establish
ments to special agents for salmon fish
cries, and employees of the treasury
department should be assigned to act az
special agents without extra compensa-
ton.
A tax should be levied upon the out
put of all canneries, salteries, fish oil
and fertilizer works; and the penalty
for violation of the fisheries law should
be increased from S., 900 to So, 900.

The Prohibition party Of Oregon
held its state convention in Newberg
Wednesday. The number of delegates
present was somewhat smaller than ex-

and much enthusiasm was manifested.
The following nominations were
made:
Observation-Disclosures district, L.

Supreme judge-T. E. Hackerman,

Attorney-general-T. ]. Bright, OF
Wasco.
State printer-M. p. Marquam, OF
Forest Grove.
The national platform, which was
adopted, follows:
1.-THE prohibition party, in national
convention assem- bled, declares its
conviction that the manufacture, ex-
portation, importation and sale OF al
coholic beverages has produced such
social, commercial, industrial and po-
litical wrongs, and is now so threaten
ing the perpetuity of all our social and
political institutions that the suppress
sion of the same by national party,
organized therefor, is the greatest OBJ
ject to be accomplished by the voters
of our country, and is Of such import
ance that it of right ought to control
the political action of all our patriotic
citizens until such suppression is &C.
complished. The urgency of this cause
demands the union without further de-
lay of all citizens who desire the pro.
hibition of the liquor traffic; therefore,
Resolved, That we favor the legal
prohibition, by state and national leg
islation, of the manufacture, importa.
ton, expectation and interstate trans.
portation and sale Of alcoholic bever.
ages; that we declare our purpose te
organize and unite all the friends Of
prohibition into one party. and in order
to accomplish this end, we deem it bu,
right to leave every prohibitionist the
freedom of his own convictions upon
all other political questions, and trust
our representatives to take such acticr
upon other political questions as the
change occasioned by prohibition, ano
the welfare of the whole people shall

War Talk in the Senate.

War between two powerful nations
was the sole topic of discussion in the
senate today. Such excitement, sup
pressed though it was; such feeling
that the country was on the verge of
events that would make history for all
time to come; such eloquent and inn
passioned orato1y. and such keen and
brilliant repartee have been known in
the senate not since the day when the
country was convulsed in the greatest
war of modern times.
Notwithstanding the throng in the
galleries, that semicircular chamber
was almost as silent as if it were de-
serted. Conversation was conducted in
low whispers.
A full quarter of an hour before the
senate was convened, Davis (Rep.
Mimi, chairman of the foreign rela-
lions committee, entered the chamber
and quietly went to his seat in the CEN
ter of the Republican side. He care
fully placed on his desk bulky pack
age, which all intuitively knew to be
the Hateful resolution and report from
his COMMITTEES, upon which peace or war
might hinge.
The chambe filled rapidly, and when
the vice. presidents gavel fell, nearly
every senator was at his desk. Scarcely
FIVE minutes had elapsed after the ses-
sion convened before the vice-president
recognized Davis. An instant's hush
fell over the chamber. Davis present
ed to the senate the resolutions and re-
port from his committee and requested
that they be read. The report was a
terrific arraignment Of Spain and her
policies, yet so eager were all to hear
every word that not the slightest
demonstration occurred throughout the
reading.
Following the presentation of the re.
port and after Hoar (Rep. Mass.) had
insisted that consideration of the reso-
luton 60 over until tomorrow, on a
point of order, came two of the most re-
markable speeches yet delivered on the
Cuban question. Foraker (Rep. o.
and Lodge rep. Mass.) both impas-
stoned and brilliant orators, presented
different phases of the Cuban situa-
ton. Foraker advocated the direct
recognition of the independence of the
Cuban republic, and with an eloquence
and vehemence seldom heard in the
senate splendidly maintained his posi-
ton. A sharp colloquy between him
and Elkins (Rep. w. Va.) caused ex-
element.
Lodge followed with an appeal fol
action in preservation of the national
honor and in wiping out the stain OF
the "atrocious murder" in Havana
harbor. His words so reached the
heart, that the galleries were swept by
a tremendous wave of applause.
Lindsay ended the days discussion
with a powerful speech, in which ht
advocated the recognition of the Gu.
bans, and concerted action by the in
surgent army and United States troops
in driving the Spanish. forces from the
island of Cuba.

INTERVENTION At ONCE.
Only Nineteen Against the Resolution
In the House.

only N1mete0u HdlusS thO AsOSSAssos~N
In the House.
Washington, April 1.-THE house OF
representatives today, after one OF the
most exciting and memorable days in
it's history, by vote OF 322 to 10,
adopted resolution which nine-tenths
of it's members believe makes war with
Spain inevitable. 1t is fact which
was grimly commented upon today by
members as they spoke of the future,
that every war in which the United
States has engaged began in April, and
that today was the anniversary OF the
fall of Fort Sumter, which aroused the
patriotic fever of the North and made
the four years civil strife certainty.
The resolution adopted directs the
president to intervene at once in Cuba,
to restore peace and secure to the people
of the island "a stable, independent
government of their own," and author
ICES him to use the army and navy to
execute the purpose Of the resolution.
Although only 10 members-15D DEM
ocrats, Republicans and l Populist-
dissented upon the final vote, the pro-
ceedings were marred by bitter and
acrimonious display of partisan feeling.
During the height of the excitement
the lie was passed between Brumm
(Rep. Pa and Bartlett dem. Ga.),
and disgraceful scene followed, that
almost descended to the level of free
fight. Order was finally restored, and
later the two members found that the
alteration had arisen out of a misun-
Outstanding, whereupon there were
mutual apologies.
