A BOX OF HORNETS.

VtIc cdCucS, dS CSudl.
A professional man in St Louis, " no
months to have his fruit sent him by
express from his farm, in Central Mis-

the pilferiDgs of .baRgsgemen. No
matter how carefully his choice pea b.

were sure to be broken into and des.
pOiled with free hand. He stood the
loss without murmer for several
weeks, when, having noticed thai tho

mete out little righteous retribu. ion.
Three or four days later he rece we'd
notification that an express pacE ge,
addressed to him, was coming in car

a position near the express car and

Sha, ks.

Sharks furnish a number of vslu-
able products. The liver of the shark
contains an oil that Possesses medicin-
al qualities equal to those of cod liver
oil. The skin after being dried takes
the polish ard hardness of mother of
pearl. The fins are always highly
priced by the Chinese, who pickle
them and serve them as a most delicate
dish. The Europeans, who do not ap-
preciate the fins as a foo convert
them into fish glue AS for the flesh

THE KITTEN,ANDTHE PELICAN.
How it Happened That They Became
Good Friends.

Behind big, old fashioned house, in
large city, there lived a large pe1i-
can. The bird was allowed the liberty
of the yard, around which he would
walk sedately. He could not fly far.
and he had lived there 80 long that he
seemed content to stay.
One day. when the pelican was TAX
ing his morning exercise, little
kitten from a neighbours yard came
strolling along the fence. When she
first saw the big bird her eyes opene d
in wonder, her tail grew big and her
hair stood out. But presently. as the
pelican did not hurt her, she became
used to him and jumped down into the
yard to investigates
Now, whether the pelican happened
to be in a lively mood and wanted a
game of play with somebody. or wheth-
err he remembered the way his father
used to catch fish by throwing them up
in the air and catching them again,
while he was lit e nesting and lived
in a tree beside river, don't know.
But the pelican picked up the little
kitten, and, giving it toss in the air,
opened its huge mouth as if to catch it
as it came down.
Puss seemed to think it was rather
good fun. With quick motion she
turned over and came to the ground Oh
her feet. Then she scampered around
Mr.. Pelican's legs, nearly upsettipg
him. He turned, made another grab
at the little cat and gave her another
toss. Down came kitty again, landing
safely on the grass, not at all frighten-
ed at this new rough companion. She
seemed to enter into the sport of the
thing and stood still to be tossed as if
she ra ther liked it.
The pelican got tired at first. His
master came out of the house with a
GOOD dinner of fish for him. He pick
ed up fish. gave it toss aud csught
and swallowed it. Puss, who was look
ing on with open epes. came in for q

Women in Business and Social Life.

caunot conceive Of anything that
women could do in the future that
would shock the public now as the
things they actually are doing would
have shocked the public of thirty,
twenty, or even ten years ago. Wo-
men attend the business meetings of
corporations, ard in some cases, no.
tally small manufacturing or business
concerns, if they have q large amount
of money invested, they serve as direc-
tors, even as president and tire asurer.
They vote on school matters in the
shortly OF the states. They have full
suffrage in Wyoming, Utah, Colorado,
ard Idaho and municipal suffrage in
Kansas. Even in states where they do
n vote, women are frequently seen
at the polls, notably me mbers of the
distributing ballots or providing coffee
in the interest OF temperance.
We sea the same changes in social
life. VI ars ago mans club was the
one spO. where q woman could rot set
her TO t. It was generally supposed
that the moral tone of the place was
such that she would not wish 10 go
there if she could. Customs have
chang so much that women not only
visit the club ON "ladies nights" but
they are &C rua'ly invited to the restau-
rants on ordinary days. Almost all the
newer clubs, especially those in the
country. and those connected with ath
letic interests, make provision for wo-
men, and in soma csses the club sup
pers are almost as dome stic as family
parties. Last winter 1 attended q meet
ing of q woman's society at mans
club in one of our great cities. TIE
club men were not invited to the NEE
ing, but the cour tesy of q portion of
their house was extended for the day.
the club could offer finer accommo da-
tions than any hotel. Some of the Ia
dies, when enjoying the perfect ap-
poiutmenrs of the dressing and d ming
rComs, remarked that it was q pity
that women should ever undertake
housekeeping when men had shown
that they could do it so much better

Little Innovations in Table Service


A stickler for good house service is
suggesting the abolition of the saucer,
and subs itute in the way of dOilies
and cups with three tiny leps or feet.
The spoon then would remain in the
cup at al times. 1t is not at all a bad
idea, but would Eecessitate little re-
form in spoons. There is tendency
toward using small cups, even for
breakfast coffee. One woman who
loves good coffee always uses teacups
for It; as in the large cups it. ccols too
quickly. Any way teaspoons are too
large for most of the shallow cups in
use. One with shorter handle could
be used to advantage. There are house
wives who, during the serving of. coffee
will nOtsmake the slightest sound of
cup against saucer or silver against
china. But the noise of table service
provided, of course, it is only the
slight noi>e made in an ordinary train
ed household by the moderately train
ed servant, is as nothing when the
n"ise made by servants on the stairs
of otherwise well'or6e cred houses is con-
sit cred. The clatter of servants with
heavy boots on uncarpeted stairs con
hardly be understood by a caller who
sc Mt her card up to woman in whose
home every thipgsel is'wen ordered
Even on carpeted stairs some clumsy
servants can be heard elm bling two
flights, fairly shaking the house, while
the caller in the parlor below listers

And ever the rose was shy,
But q roses life, like dream, is fleet,
And rose in day will die.

who will vote for Mitchell for U.
S. senator. Republicans will not
quarrel with them over this. Mr..
Mitchell has no claim upon the
party and the republicans of the
county are practically united in
insisting that he keep out of
the race. No republican is ad-
vocating the reelection of Mr..
Mitchell, and the charge that a
force is at work secretly to for
ward his interests is plain lie,
manufactured at democratic
headquarters and peddled by re-
publican stool pigeons of the
democratic leaders. From the
democratic standpoint, anything
that creates suspicion in the re-
publican ranks, is good politics.
The republicans have as much
interest in the Legislative ticket as
have the gold democrats, and

be distasteful to gold democrats
will be as unsatisfactory to re-
publicans.
There are men in Corvallis
who will be greatly disappointed
if they fail to secure the nonlina-
ton for joint senator. But peo-
pie in politics must expect to
encounter disappoint1nents and
the ambition OF the party over
shadows the ambition of any
man.
There is no true republican
that does not honor and respect
the motives of those who separ-
ated from the democratic party
in 1896. And the men who sew
cred their political ties for the
sake of a great political party
are not making their support ot
the republican ticket dependent
upon the nomination of any one
man.

HARMONY---HOW TO SECURE 1T.

The success or defeat of the
republican party in Benton
county is in the hands of the
delegates to tornorrow's conven-
ton. If sober judgment, fair
ness and unselfshness prevail in
the deliberation and control the
actions of the convention, vic
tory will be ours in June.
The interests of politicians
may clash, but the majority of
republicans are not wrapped up
in the ambitions or pecuniary
advantages of partizan would-be
leaders.
We hear much today of
"pushes," >" "pulls," "cliques'
and factions" The popular
sentiment is against any such Or
ganization. Such combinations
may succeed in primaries but
cannot stand the test on election
day. The fact must not be for
gotten that, whether beneficial
or not, party obligations rest but
lightly upon a controlling NUM-
Der of. voters.
/ But this is generalizing. Let
us get down to particulars. One
hears much lately concerning the
Gazette push," the "anti-Ga-
zette outfit" the "Union clique" "
the "Yates-Lord combine" etc.
This paper is conscience-clear On
this score, but still the charge Is
made and it is a condition, not a
theory, that confronts the party.
The convention should see to it
that all these factions or alleged
factions are subdued and their
representatives given a rear seat
under the gallery. This paper
is perfectly willing to become a
martyr for the good of the party,
bat it insists on having company.
To be very frank, the GAZETTE
is not making very serious sacri-
flee, having no candidates to
urge.
The legislative candidates,
viewed from "hartnony" stand
point should come from outside
of Corvallis. This is fair prep
osition and cannot be construed
as being a "job." The delegates
to the state convention should be
pronounced Geer men, for Geer
is the almost unanimous choice
of Benton county republicans for
the gubernatorial nomination.
Keep the Lord people at home.
If the delegates are in earnest in
their talks for peace they will
not send to the state convention
/ a delegation who will nominate
for joint senator the GAZETTE S
candidate, if it has one, nor the
Unions candidate.
This not demand. 1t is a
substantial suggestion and the
clear headed members of tomor-
rows convention will recognize
its justice and its Importance.
