HOW THEY MARKED
In the oratorica1 Contest-Judges DIFF.
fered Much in Markings.

In last Friday nights local, try
out for an orator for OAC, the
judges on delivery were Mrs. Hum
bert, Rev. Carrick and Prof Emer-
lex of Phi1omath College. The
judges on composition, whose
markings had been made previous
to the contest, were Rev. Kantner,
and Rev F. A. Powell of Salem,
and Prof 7. D. Davis of the Port
land High School.
The table below shows how each
contestant was marked by each
Judge, both on composition and de-
livery. The figures indicate that
the judges varied widely in their
opinions of the merits of the orat-
ors. In the case of Mr.. Witty, one
judge gave him first place for COM
position and another gave him
eighth. Various other instances Of
similar character are to be noted
by comparison Of the figures, in
dicating that after all, the findings
of two separate sets of judges in
the same contest might have total
ly different results. The markings
are as follows:

LOST A LIMB.
Reported Terrible Experience of Per-
civaI Nash in Alaska. I

Accounts received in this city
lead to the belief that Perciva1
Nash, second son of Mr. and Mrs
Wallis Nash, recently lost a limb
in an accident near Dawson City
Alaska. The only information on
the subject is in a dispatch pub
lished in the Salem Journal of the
18th, as follows: "
Dawson, Y, T. Feb. Percy
Nash a trader of Lansing, on the
Stewart river, has just arrived at
Dawson. after a terrible experience
on the trail. He missed death by
a narrow margin, but will escape
with nothing more than the loss of
limb.
On a trip from Lansing to the
Canon river while Nash was cut
ting tree, the ak slipped and sunk
deep into his skin. He was alone
on the trail. He sewed up the cut
and laid down to await assistance.
For five days he lay there help
less in the snow. Not knowing when
help might arrive he husbanded his
provisions, but on the fifth day they
gave out. He had prepared to kill
his dogs when he was aroused by
hearing rifle shot, in the woods.
He answered it and his shots
brought a miner by the name of
Woods, who was prospecting in the
vicinity. Woods took him to Can
on river on toboggan, where the
wound healed but recently.
After it healed, however, the
bone still protruded, and an oper-
alton was necessary. Accordingly he
was brought to Dawson, where it
was successfully performed.
Rodney Nash, younger brother
of Percival, is a student at the agri-
cultural college. All he knows Of
the accident was learned from the
above dispatch. He has no doubt
but the person described in the tel
gram is his brother Perciva1, as the
latter has been conducting a trading
post for some time on the Lansing
river" referred to,

BERTHA GALLAND.

There is unsual interest in Bertha Galland's appearance in 'FNotre Dame" Friday evening at Polls. and the indi- cations point to the gifted young stars being greeted by large audience. 'fNotre Dame" is a dramatization of Victor Hugo's celebrated novel pre- pared for the stage by Paul M. Potter, who dramatized "Under Two Flags" ''Trilby" and other plays. It was given its first appearance at Dalys theater. New York. where it enjoyed a run of many weeks. Many plays have been built around this romance. but MT Potter has treated the familiar TO- nance and incidents of the story in a spirit more acceptable to modern au- diences than any of the other adaptors The production will he sumntuous one. elaborate scenery having been pre- pared by TTnitt. while the incidental

THEATRICAL
 FRATERNAL
FOR HER cF1rLDREN's SAKE.
# .s .ss x 8lS

There is a beautiful atmosphere about the domestic drama, For Her Children's Sake" which will be played at Polls tomorrow afternoon and evening. The play opens on Christmas eve at the residing parsonage on the outskirts of big city. Much to do is made of, the love affair of the rec tors nnotherless daughter, Edna, who after stirring scene with her father, opposing her marriage with the man of her heart, forsakes the parental roof, and after series of exciting adven- lures is known to fame as Madame Ashton, the daring equestrienne. This allows of one of the biggest scenic in- vestituresl ever attempted, and that Is the representation under real canvas of the dressing rooms of a circus with an evening performance in progress. With the defiant curse of her aged father. whom she has denied, ringing in her ears, the persecuted heroine,
 now the mother of two beautiful chil- dren, the victim Of a brutal husbands

IN THE DOMESTIC REALM.
Odd ntts of Information Which May Not Come Amiss to the Young
 sHousekeeper.

Every family treasure box contains few daguerreotypes and if these are of direct family interest they are as valuable as oil paintings or minia- lures. The difficulty is to display them interestingly. Unless they are viewed in exactly the right light and at the proper angle they are almost invisible. They should never he taken out of the odd little box frames as they are extremely perishable. Re- move the velvet-lined cover and frame the portraits in broad flat frames of dull gold. Still better frame them as if they were minia- lures in narrow gold frames, and put them in deep, glass-covered shadow box. Study carefully the best light in which to place them, and hang them near the mantel or beside a flat cast They are too indefinite to ap- pear to advsntage near other pie lures.
 The good shops are full of bits of tapestry and other beautiful fabrics suitable for pillow covers, and most of them may be had for very small sums. It is not always safe to buy pillows for other people unless the color scheme of their rooms has been studied. A woman whose sitting. room is in aesthetic green is made miserable by a gift of a pale blue pillow. Of course she can put it in another room, but she feels that she has not shown herself appreciative when she does so, says the New York Post.
 Tn putting away white silk or muslin gown, it is good idea to place in the box several cakes of fine white wax. Wrap the gown and the wax in plenty of white tissue paper. and put blue paper over all. The wax will turn quite yellow in time, but the clear white of the gown will be preserved.
 The value of dates for children's school luncheons is not fully appre- ciated. They are rather sticky, both .ersome things. as they are originally purchased, and children rarely care for them. They should be separated and washed, the stone removed, and a peanut or almond, salted prefer ably, substituted. The date is then rolled in powdered sugar, and straightway becomes one of the ap- petizing trifles dear to youth, and at the same time is healthful and pourishing. ~
 Every kitchen should have a set of the little brown earthenware cups that come for custards and other bakings. Popovers are delicious baked in them, as are also soft corn bread, rice mullins, and other lunch con breads. For popovers sift to- gether a cupful of -four, table spoonful of baking powder, and a little salt. Add gradually, stirring all the time, scant cupfu1 of milk. Beat in a wel1-whipped egg and beat the mixture for some minutes with a Dover egg beater. Have the cups hot and buttered. Pour in the bat ter and bake 35 minutes in mod crate ovens The cups should not be more than half-filled, as the batter rises. .......
