OREGON REPRESENTED AT BUFFALO.
Mrs. Weathsrred Writes Of our State and ol
Its Interest in the Pan.Amsrican
Exposition.

The Pan.Americsn Exposition con.
slider one OF the grandest things ever
presented. 1901 will mark the dawn of
new era in the history of America,
Each section of the western hem
isphere will be Oregon
may seem but drop in the bucket, but
that drop, we hope, will spread until the
wave reaches from shore TO shore. We
are away out west, only little square
state, but a land OF milk and honey.
We have great natural endowments of
forestry and minerals-a soil so rich
that agriculture, horticulture, nuts and
flowers grow with but little trouble,
tim. or expense. Oregonlans have the
reputation of being lazy-well, il they
are, it is the fault OF nature. Farmers
90 to sleep and their dreams are undis-
turbed with thoughts OF drought or
cyclone.
Our valleys are so fertile that grass is
green all the wear aud the cattle do not
have to pay house rent during the
winter. The heavy evergreens make a
warm and dry shelter at night Truck
gardens furnish supplies all the year and
as fast as one crop is marketed another
is planted. Flowers bloom through the
winter in the yards. Beautiful American
Beauties and other choice roses. This
is not applicable, however, to all parts
OF the state, for we have many ranges OF
mountains which divide Oregon into
valleys and uplands, therefore we have
a climate for each and all. II one kind
is not beneficial, fifty or hundred miles
ride will make an entire change. Our
mountains are filed with gold, silver,
copper and other precious metals. Our
state has only just begun TO let the
world know OF her wealth OF minerals.
We are interested in the fan-Ameri-
can Exposition. We are coming in full
force. The commission will return TO
our homes and herald glad tidings of the
greatest show on earth. Our visit here
has not only been OF much pleasure and
satisfaction TO us but we are going 10
try and reciprocate for your fair and
just consideration in assisting us while
securing our space.

hut II Is Safe to Say the American
Was the More So OF
the Two. -

There is no method Of telling by sim
ply looking at Chinaman how far ad-
vanced he II in his knowledge Of the
English language, says the Philadel-
phia Record. An incident that illus
trates this point happened recently
on one OF the streets leading TO the ex-
port exposition. party of young peo-
pie were making their way toward the
grounds when Chinaman, dressed in
the conventional garb OF the Flowery
kingdom, with hat pulled well down
over his eyes, leaned idly against the
corner Of building, putting away at a
cigarette. He looked as II the whole
world was bore to him, and one Of
the party suggested that an attempt
be made to engage him in conversation
and ascertain thereby just how much
English he really knew.
The first advance was made by a
young man with a mercurial disposi-
tion, who always goes at things with
rush. "Slay, john" he yelled, in imita-
ton OF pidgin English, do you speakee
de Mclean talkee?" and he slapped the
Chinnman on the shoulder. The reply
dazed all hands. Calmly blowing
cloud Of smoke into the air, the Celes-
tial turned slowly and said, in pc
culiarly sweet voice, in the purest OF
English: 81 beg your pardon, sir, but
were you addressing your remarks TO
me?" 1t transpired afterward In the
course of conversation that the China
man was graduate Of Yale.

right to which everv child Is more surely
entitled than that OF good, sound health.

children such conditions as will insure
them sound bodies and perfect health,
not only because health will bring them
the greatest range Of comfort, but be-
cause IL is the means whereby the high
est and best possibilities Of life are
developed and maintained. Proper
clothing OF the body is one Of the basic
factors in the promotion OF health, not
alone in adult life, but thro' all the
years from childhood up; indeed, at no
time is there greater need OF care respect

The old man, now pacified, was being led

all was quiet below. The silence lasted
till he heard Dawes voice outside

bottle for which she was searching, and
turned to go.
"IIe won't last long" she said TO

The sudden change In Mrs. Fanshaw
was not alone due to gratihed surprise.
Ronald thought he had never seen her
look at him quite SO strangely. She
started TO say something, which seemed
to have rushed impulsively to her
tongue, and then she shook her shoul.
