His Creed,

A gentleman handed the News s
bit of well-thummed card board the
other day on which was printed the
following paragraph entitled my
Creed" We do not remember who
was the author-it. makes little differ.
ence-for it is good stuff" and we
reprint it as per request. 1t is as
follows:
EDO not keep the alabaster boxes
of your love and tenderness sealed ur
until your friends are dead. Fill
their lives with sweetness. Speak
approving, cheering words while
their ears can hear them, and while
their hearts can be thrilled and made
happier by them. The kind things
you mean to say when they are gone
say before they go; the flowers you
mean to send to their collins, send to
brighten and sweeten their homes
before they leave them. If nv
friends have alabaster boxes laid
away full of fragrant perfumes of
sympathy and affection, which they
intend to break over my dead body,
| would rather they would hiring
them out in my weary and troubled
hours and open them, that I may be
refreshed and cheered' by them while
| need them. | would rather have a
plain coffin without flower, a funer-
al without an eulogy, than life
without the sweetness of love and
sympathy. Let us learn to anoint
our friends beforehand for their bur-
ial. Post mortem kindness does not
cheer the troubled spirit. Flowers on
the coffin cast no fragrance back
ward over life's weary way"

COMO.

A very enjoyable entertainment
was given by the Como Knights of
Sunshine in the V. 1. A. Hall on Fri
day evening of last week. The hall
was well filled and the children, the
gramaphone and the audience were
at their best. The recitations by Miss
Phebe Palmer, Miss'Victoria Babers,
Miss Leila Prior, Masters Lyon
Chamberlain, Jimmie Miller, Felix
Haymart were excellent, Misses Ba-
bers and Palmer being especially
good, while Rollo Belknap made a
hit with "How Lyndon wanted his
hair cut" Every piece was received
with well merited applause. Mrs.
0. B. Robinson recited 1.-THE Last
Hymn" with dramatic force. The
entertainment was opened by the
gralnaphOne with "Blue Danube, "
and the bugle sounding the assembly
the children promptly took their
places, and to the stirring notes of
John Browns body" gave a fine ex-
hibition drill. The gramaphone,
which Mr.. E, G. Grimes, from Petos-
key, Mich, kindly volunteered for
the evening, is one of the best makes
and delighted the audience with the
excellence of the music and the
faithfulness with which it repro
duced the human voice and musical
instruments. Ice cream was served
and everybody enjoyed themselves
and were delighted with the little
ladies and gentlemen who showed
what Como children could do.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. A. Williams and
son arrived from New York and are
guests at All View Cottage.
Mrs. Laura NJ. McNab was expect
ed to arrive from Lake Helen on
Tuesday of this week.
On Wednesday morning of last
week a gentleman here while stroll
ling around his yard picked up tin
box, something like blacking box.
Opening it he found a piece of fresh
bread moistened with a solution pro-
nounced arsenic by a physician.
The box was evidently intended to
come open when tossed into the yard
near the dog kennel, but failed. The
particularly diabolical nature of the
act lies in the fact that the little son
of the gentleman, about two years of
age, is accustomed to playing around
the yard, and it is mercy that the
child was not poisoned. Comment
is unnecessary. To vent a petty
spite, whoever is guilty would risk
killing an innocent babe rather than
forego his grudge.

PLANS FOR ARMY POSTS.
Fort Sheridan to He Made the Larg-
est and Most mplete Military
Post of Army.

For some time general board of
army officers has been in session for
the purpose of selecting sites for four
great camps where troops can be mo-
bilized and trained. The board has adj
iourned and the recommendation will
not be made public until passed upon
by the secretary Of war. In addition
to selecting the camp sites, one of
which is to be near Fort Riley. Kan. the
board has been charged with the duty
of determining what army posts shall
be retained and what shall be made
important military centers.
While the report of the board is still
withheld. it is known that it favOrs the
retention of Fort Sheridan, near Chi
cago. and in fact its large development.
1t is not suited for the purpose of
large practice camp. but members of
the board say that in all probability
if congress gives the necessary appro-
priation it will be made the largest and
most complete military post in the
United States.

n STARTS ON LONG VOYAGE,
Titus, n SeaGOinE Tug Has Left New
York to Make SOundings for
the Pacific Cable

To take soundings in the Pacific
ocean from near San Francisco to the
Hawaiian islands, thence to the La
drones, and from there to the Philip
pines, for the projected Pacific cable,
the Titus, 120-ton sea-going tug, has
just left New York. Stops probably
will be made at Valparaiso and Pan
anna. One of the governments most
trusted transport captains, who has
knowledge of soundings and mathe-
matics. took the Titus out.
He expects to begin soundings about
the end of April. and to complete this
task by the end of May. For ascer-
tanning depths, a new device will be
used. 1t is a large iron cylinder. topped
by cone, containing air, and is her
metically sealed. except when the cylin-
der is immersed. Then water, flow
ing into the cylinder and through q
tube. has access to the cone containing
the air.
Working on the principles of hy-
draulics and gravitation, it is possible
to drop the cylinder to a reasonable
depth. and the pressure is indicated
on dial attached to the cone. When
the cylinder is drawn up, by taking the
pressure and the depth. and making
the proper computations, the total
depth of the sea at that point is de-
tcrmined.
Soundings will be taken every hall
hour, with the tug going at IA speed
of about six miles an hour. 1t is not
expected that greater depth thar
5000 feet will be found on the course

A MYSTERIOUS GIFT.
Admlral Schley Rece1ves q thousand
Dollar Piano from q Sincere
and Shy Admirer.

A mahogany piano stands in Rear
Admiral Schley's apartments, and the
rear admiral and Mrs. Schley are won
dering where it came from. In the
rear admirals desk is a receipted bill
of $1,000 for the instrument. Several
days ago a van drew up in front of the,
Richmond hotel in Washington and
several men began to unload a piano,
which they said was for Rear Admiral
Schley.
The rear admiral came down stairs,
protesting that he had ordered no
piano. One of the men handed him the
receipted bill for 81 900 and also short
note. The note partially cleared up the
situation. 1t concluded:
please accept this gift from sim
cere admirer. one who desires no not or
cd of expressing his regard for you"
There was no signature. nothing on
the paper to indicate the identity of
the writer. and the handwriting was
wholly unfamiliar to both Rear Ad
miral and Mrs. Schley. When the men
had placed the instrument against the
wall the rear admiral offered them a
bill of large denomination. They po-
litely declined to accept, saying that
they had been paid, and that they were
instructed to receive nothing from
Rear Admiral Schley. The rear ad-
miral could learn nothing from them
concerning the gift. They evidently
had been ordered not to talk about it.
Since that time he has been able to
learn nothing more.

WIRELESS PHONES ON FARMS
Two Men Who Live Near HAge rstown,
Ind, Encounter a Mysterious
Circumstance.

Robert Hall and Axum White, farm
gerstown. Ind, have been using wire
less telephones for two months. Each
of these men is at the end of a far1n ers'
system of telephones. Hall lives at
the north end of the system that ends
in the village of Lewisville, six miles
to the south. Axum White, whose
house is mile west of Halls, has
phone on the north end of system
entirely Independent of the one with
which Hall has connection. The two
lines terminate in the village of Lewis
vile. one at the west end of the town
and the other at the eastern extrem-
ity. The wires of the two systems are
not less than half mile apart at any
point on the entire course, and the
houses of Hall and his neighbor are al
most mile apart.
1t was noticed after the telephones
were put in that when Hall rang his
bell that Of White responded, and the
latter was able to hear every word of
conversation spoken into Halls
phone. Likewise, when White rang
his telephone bell Halls also rang. and
the voice speaking into Whites phone
could be heard distinctly through
Halls receiver. There is absolutely
no communication between the two
systems. and no electrical expert has
yet been able to explain the mystery.

DRUNKEN SPREE IN MADRID,
Wealthy OreEOnian Goes on a Tear
But Spanish Authorities Deal
Lenient1y with Him.

United States Vice Consul Dean r.
Wood at Madrid has cited to the state
department an instance of Spanish for
bearance which he regards as evidence
of growing good feeling towards the
United States. This grows out of the
outrageous doings of man from Ore
gon, who invaded Madrid, became in
toxicated, cast money about the
streets, knocked out with his fist half
a dozen Spanish policemen and gen
darmes, and yet was permitted to go
scot free by the Spanish judges on the
single condition of quitting Spain at
once.
The state department does not care
to publish the name Of this man, be-
cause, according to Mr.. Woods ac-
count, he truly repented his exploits
and misdeeds. He had not touched
liquor for five years. and when he did
yield he became so thoroughly intoxi-
Gated that he knew nothing of what
he did. After he had been subdued
with great difficulty by the Madrid po-
lice he was locked up and the Ameri-
can consular agent was sent for by the
Spanish judges.
When he explained the matter to
them the judges courteously offered to
release the prisoner at once if he
would leave Spain, and the Oregonian
was shipped at once homeward.
