An Enticing Myth.

Whatever may be said about the ro-
mantle features OF nearly every one OF
the lost mine stories OF mining camps
IN the West, is II useless to try to show
to host OF veteran gold seekers that
the Mother gold mine. somewhere
either In Arizona or New Mexico. is n
myth from the Aztecs. They believe
that the Mother gold mine Is actually
great blocks Of pure gold, and that It
lies buried somewhere but few feet
below the surface OF the earth. Schol-
ars in Aztec life and lore say that the
aborigines of the Southwest believed
that Montezuma would return TO his
dominion on earth. and then he would
need vast quantities of gold. SO the
Aztec youth were taught that when the
happy event occurred a supply OF the
precious metal would be found in the
mountains roundabout. The story OF
Mother gold that only awaited Monte.
xuma's coming to be gathered for the
Aztec monarch grew from generation

Giving and Getting.

One Of life's paradoxes Is that ne
who gives gets. The way to success is
10y surrender. They who are most Law
lsh of their own life are the ones into
whose lap the world pours the Richest
treasures. Thousands of hearts are
starving to-day simply because they
are stlngy. They have withheld them
selves. and with the Withholding have
grown lean and poor. The fat and
prosperous soul is the one which Is lib
eral with itself. which offers itself as
food and strength to every needy man
and cause. There Is no secret for
greatness like the secret OF giving
constant and unsparing giving of selrs
hest.
Not they who seek to gct-to gather
to themselves the worlds best things.
anG thus find satisfacti )n--but they
who bountifully offer themselves In
sympathy and service to the world,
learn life's deepest JOY.

slIpners Are Much Worn.

Quite the most pronounced fad that
has been taken up for some years is
that for slippers. They are worn at
all times. even for travelling. and
they have almost ousted low shoes,
except for hard use. There seems
no explanation OF how IL began, but
the fact remains that in order to be
in it a woman must have a pair Of
black, high-tongued slippers for gen
eral wear. They take the place Of nice
low shoes. Wide buckles are feature
of them, and any metal Is correct.
although silver is the favorite. With
them are worn either very open-work
black stockings or fancy colored ones.

In Prnlae of the Needle.


All manner Of arguments are being
put forward just now-yide silly sea-
son correspondence in half a dozen
daily and weekly papers-for the pur-
pose OF caJoling or frightening WON
en- back into becoming the excellent
housewives which "our grandmothers"
are said 10 have been. But the clev-
crest argument in favor OF a return
TO the vanishing dOmesticlties Is put
forward by French lady in the col
umns Of a Partisan contemporary.
Turning from housewifery in general
TO the "art of the needle" she says:
1T cannot be denied that a pretty
hand. welding this delicate weapon
o pretty figure bending over a piece Of
work; pair Of bright eyes. thought
fully. attentiyely considering the ar
tlcle In hand. have a charm OF their
own. The attitude OF calm serenity
and innocence is. moreover, a delight
full piece OF coquetry, standing in
graceful contrast to the general rest
lessness Of the time"
IL anything could bring the non
domesticated woman back TO the for
saken workable. surely this vision Of
herself ought to do so. 1t Is certain
ly more attractive than the woman on
her wheel, or on her automobile. as
she may be seen all over France.-Tho

A CoquettIsh Little Garment.

A smart bolero OF Irish point lace
is made double breasted and the ampli-
tude in width atones for the excessive
shortness of a coquettish little gar
ment. This Is fastened on the left
side with three fat buttons about the
size Of n penny and cleaning like
guinea gold. Three seems to be the
canonical number for these beautiful
fastenings. They look like golden pen
nies and have none Of the superficial
aspect OF cheap gilt buttons.

Three months of school have now

20 per cent. The increase in the
upper grades runs from 40 to so

School will be dismissed on the

and remain closed until the Mon
day following New Years.
The different grades of the school
raised the amount of about five

The ninth grade organized their
class on Friday the sixth of this

A Free Ride.

Last Monday Willard Price, OF
Kings Valley, let one OF his
brothers have a saddle horse to
ride to Wren. On arriving at
Wren the brother fastened up the
bride and turned the horse loose
to find its way home. The an
irnal did not arrive home as Mr.,
Price expected it would and
Tuesday morning he started out
to look for it.
He learned that a young man,
whose name we do not care to
mention, had stopped the horse,
and mounting it, had ridden the
animal nearly to Corvallis. He
then dismounted and turned it
loose and came on to town. At
ter lettering about town for
awhile he crossed the William
cite and went to the house of a
relative who resides a short dis
tance east of this city, in Linn
county.
Willard Price, in his search,
learned the above particulars and
crossed over into Linn county
and found the culprit and
persuaded the young man to
core over to Corvallis with him.
The young fellow stoutly denied
all knowledge of the horse, but
when in the presence of officers
admitted the whole thing. Mr..
Price concluded to do nothing
with the boy, as he had found
out where his horse was and no
particular damage had been done
him. 1t is hoped that the young
man will mend his ways, as this
is not the first time that he has
been the star actor in the perfor.
nance of deeds that might have
caused him trouble.

Strnck a Snag.

About two o'clock Tuesday
morning the steamer Ruth ar
rived from Portland. At five o.
clock, having un1oaded some
freight and taken on part of a
load she left the OR N dock
to steam up to Fischer's FIGURING
Mills to take Oh a lot of -four.
The distance from the o R & N
dock TO the mill is nearly half a
mile and when the Ruth was
about half way to the mill she
struck a snag and stove a large
hole in her bottom. Just how
large is not known, but it must
be of fair dimensions, as in about
two minutes she had swung
about and grounded on the east
side of the river. She lies very
nearly across the river. She was
in command of Captain Inman.
It was still dark when the ac-
cident occurred and the few pas
sengers on board and part of the
crew were considerable exercised,
according 10 reports, and fancied
that they had figured in a wreck
that will make history. Aside
from other items of freight there
were fifteen tons of dried prunes
aboard. This itself will form no
small loss. The prunes belong
ed to Hugh Finley.
Information regarding the af-
fail was at once telegraphed the
main Office of the o R & N COM
pany in Portland and other boats
were put on the route to take
care of the freight during the
time that will be consumed in
getting the Ruth out of her pres
ent position and making the nee
essary repairs.
