Rival Four. Headed Monster
Proved to Be Four Men Who
Had Tied Themselves
Together.

giant opened his tent 10 the public ana
when the time came to start the psr.
formance, he was amazed at the great
size Of bis snakea, and could not un-
dsrstand what had caused them b
change so In size and appearance In
one night, but IS the large audiencs
wa waiting. he vas compelled to 60
on with the performance without CIV
ing the matter further thought
So, raising his wand, he took eight
little trumpes and began playing the
tunes which in the past had always
charmed the snakes and set them per-
forming.
To his amazement. he found that he
had no longer power to charm them
for they never moved till, In his age,
he brought his wand down on the head
Of one Of them.
Now, this was the signal for ths
other snakes to take part and, spring
ing upon him, he was soon completely
In their coils and unable to move
hands. feet or heads.
By this time the noise and commo-
don had reached the tent Of the three
headed snake charmer opposite. and
he hurried over to see what was thu
matter.
At a glance he saw what was to Dc
done, and drawing forth q small
trumpet be played ~furiously, for he
did not want to see the snakes destroy
the ~four-headed giant, even though he
was his rival In business,
Soon the snakes began to succumb to
the power of the ~three-headed charm
er's charming, and soon commenced to
uncoil from the giants body, though
each kept tight hold Of some part Of
his raiment.
One uncoiled TO the north, n to the
south and the others to- the east and
west. and, freeing themselves from his
body, they gave a great bound back
ward, and rs each pulled q different
way, they rent his garments asunder,
and, 10! there rolled out not the body
of q huge ~four-headed giant, but the
four rival snake charmers. who had
bound themselves together In such a
way that the people easily mistook
them for one person.
Now, when the three-headed snake
charmer saw what IN imposition had
been worked sen him and the people
he Immediately ceased playing and the
snakes, no longer under the pow
er Of his charming, seized the I'M
posters and carried them Oh. and from
that time the ten of the three-headed
snake charmer was hardly large
enough to hold his audiences, for the
people realized that he was the snlz

Fairy Tale In Which a Show.
mans Reptiles Come to Hip
Aid by Exposing a Fraud.

Once upon q time there was a snake
eharmsf with three heads and he al
ways had large audiences to see his
wonderful performances.
Owing to his numerous heads, he
could charm more snakes at one time
than any other charmer in the profess
sion. and consequently wherever he
pitched his tent there was nothing do
ing with the other. snake charmsrs in
that locality.
This state of affairs continued fora
long time, and az there were no pros
poets of matters improving. all the
other rival snake charmers got to-
gether to see what could be done t o
put the t~hree-headed wonder out Of
business.
After this meeting, they all disap-
peared and the three-headed snake
charmer had everything to himself till
n day there came an immense giant
with four heads, eight arms, eight legs
and one body.
he pitched his tent opposite to that
of the three-headed charmer, and the
next day the public was invited to
witness his wonderful feats Of snake
charming.
In a short time the tables were
turned and the three-headed charmer
was left with no audience at all. and
In a little while. the poor fellow was
quite broken hearted.
Now. as he had always treated his
performing snakes very kindly, they
naturally felt a great deal OF compass
sion for him In his sorrow and deter
mined to do what they could to help
him In his trouble.
$50 that night while their master
slept they all crept out Of the tent ana
crawling away to the forest went to
Ehe lonliest, dreariest partsof IT
There they found a large cave filed
with all sorts Of snakes, to whom they
told the object Of their visit, and the
sympathy OF the ave snakes being
enlisted they decided to help the three
headed charmer, who had always
treated his snakes SO kidly.
So they seurried away to the tent OF
the four-headed giant, whom they.
found asleep. It not yet being day.
SEEKING his performing snakes. they
were dragged from their baskets, and
In the place Of each crawled . huge
boa constructor.
After the boas were snugiy fixed In
their new quarters their companions
carried the giants snakes of to the
cave and made them prisoners.

WOMAN PRISON CHAPLAIN.
Ministers Regularly to the Harden ed
CharAe2ers Conf a ed tn Lar
Amie (Wyo) J@tl.

The only woman in the world en-
gagged as chaplain in a prison is Mrs.
May Preston Slosson, of Wyoming,
and she performs her duties with a
zeal that is worthy of all praise. She
is a regularly ordained minister of
| the Gospel and might be settled over
prosperous church. but she sees her
duty lies among the convicts at Lara
mic and has chosen that as her field
of effort, reports the Chicago Chron-
icle.
Mrs. Slosson received the first de-
gree granted to a woman at Cornell
university, where she worked for two
years after she had received the mas
ter's degree at Hillsdale college, Mich
igan.
After graduating she accepted the
professorship of Greek at Hastings
college, Nebraska, and was married in
1891 to Prof. Edwin E. Slosson, pro-
fessor of chemistry at the University
of Wyoming in Laramie.
In Wyoming the prisoners of the
state penitentiary were at one time
kept without work ON account Of the
opposition of the trades unions to
their employment, Men deprived of
the saving grace of work, no matter
to what part of the community they
belong, soon become thrown out of
their balance. That happened to the
prisoners, who got into a peculiarly
morbid and unruly condition.
1t was in that frame of mind that
Mrs. Slosson conceived the idea which
the authorities permitted her to put
into practice. She arranged for a
series of Sunday afternoon talks and
experimental lectures by the profess
sors of the university.
She herself gave two lectures before
the convicts, and when the minister
who was acting as the chaplain left
the town the prisoners petitioned the
governor to appoint her chaplain. He
acceded to the request, and since July.
1899, she has filled the office not only
to the satisfaction Of the authorities.
but, what is more important, to the
satisfaction of those who are the en-
forced members of her congregation.
The prisoners number some 220 and
consist for the most part of young
men who have gone west from a spirit
of adventure and have got into trou-
BILE either through drink or from get

as cattle stealing is euphoniously re-
ferred TO by the men themselves.

For the large number of people in the
Northwest whose mail facilities will not
permit them to take daily newspaper,
the Weekly Oregonian is especially de-
signed. 1t is edited expressly for traders
in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, con-
tanning besides all the important news of
the Columbia River Basin, systematic
presentation of the news of the world,
supplemented and elucidated by editorial
comment written FROM the beginning to
the close of every week. illustrated
stories, travelling correspondence and fea-
ture articles add to the attractiveness of

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The four greatest needs of Greece
grein, coal. iron and lumber-are the
ones which the United Statss would
best be able TO supply.
The yearly gross earnings OF the
United States Steel corporation are ep-
proximately equal to the gross revenue
received by the United States govern
ment.
Seventy French firms manufacture
motor cars and their combined output
last year was IL, 900 cars. The industry
employed 10000 workmen, earning on
an average $3.50 year each.
Large deposits of stone suitable for
photographic purposes have been dis
covered and opened in ThesSaly. Greek
experts report that this stone is far SUI
perior in quality TO the best htho-
graphic stone heretofore known in Eu-
rope.
Under the heading, "A New German
Industry" German papers state that
the manufacture of quartz glass is
rapidly developing in that country.
Quartz glass consists essentially of
melted quartz and Ia perfectly trans
lucent.
The membership of the United Mine
Workers Of America. as shown from
the number who paid the per capita
tax during the month OF Morch, is
larger than it has ever been in the his

The weather during the week
covered by this report was warm
during the fore part, cool during
the middle part, and again warm
at it's close. There were light to
heavy frosts on the 25th and 26th
IN exposed localities of the eastern
counties, in some places damaging
tender vines. There were light
showers in the eastern counties
during the first part of the week (,
which were not sufficient to inter.
rupt farming operations. There
were heavy rains at the same per-
iod in the Puget Sound basin, and
during the entire week the rains
were heavy in the coast counties.
Thousands of bushels of oats, stand
ing in shocks, were wet in Chehalis
county, and considerable in the
Sound country. The oats will be
discolored, if not more badly dam
aged. High winds occurred on
several days, blowing off a good
deal of fruit.
In the eastern counties the
weather was, on the whole, very
favorable for wheat harvesting.
Cutting is finished, stacking done,
and threshing is three-fourths or
more done, except in the latest To-
calities. Much of the crop has been
hauled to the warehouses. Potato
digging progressed in districts where
the rain was not too heavy. Con
siderable blight and core rot are re-
ported from coast and sound local..
ties. Hop picking is completed in
the Yakima yards, and in the small
er yards of the western counties.
Rain has greatly interrupted pick.
ing, and has somewhat injured the
crop. Mold is reported by some.
Sugar beets are now being gathered
in Spokane county. The yield is
good, and the test shows a high
percentage of sugar. Conditions
have not been good for saving the
second crop of clover, and much Of
it is badly damaged.
Pastures and ranges have been
greatly improved by the rains. The
moisture has been beneficial to root
crops and to late apples. The ap-
pie crop will be considerably larger
in consequence. Fall wheat that
was sown during the rains of the
early part of the month is up and
growing nicely. Much seeding has
been done, although the ground in
some places is rather dry. Altogeth'
er the conditions are unusually IA
vorable for fall wheat.
Briefly summarizing the results
of the season, we note that the
yield of winter wheat, on account OIL
poor stand, from unfavorable con
ditions last fall, was only two-thirdf
of the average. but of good quality
Barley, near the foothills of the
Blue Mountains, was good croI
of excellent quality. Oats were
only fair crop in the eastern coun
ties, but heavy in the western coun
ties, although somewhat damaged
near the coast by excessive rains
Spring wheat, owing toa very back
ward spring and shortage of mois
ture during the growing season
yielded only one-half to three
tourths of crop, according to 10
cality and cultivation, but thu
wheat was of high grade. Hop
are of fair quality and somewha
below the average yield. The hay
crop was a good one, of fine quality
