During the distress among the Co
penhagen wOrkmen on account Of a
lockout in 1857 the public was appealed
to for contributions.
An old couple in Jutland, having no
money, sent in their wedding rings as
their humble contribution for the relief
Of the starving people. The organiza-
ton kept the rings as memento Of
this kind act.
Recently the old couple celebrated
their golden wedding under very dis
tressing circumstances. They were ac-
tually starving. This came to the
knowledge of the Copenhagen work
men. 4 collection was organized, and
In a few days the old couple received
$50 in cash and two new wedding
rings, with a grateful acknowledgment
Of their kindness during the time Of
trouble

A Historic Bible.

Asa w. Waters of Philadelphia has
presented the Bible of his pilgrim an
cestor Governor Bradford. to the Pill
grim Society Of Plymouth. This his
toric Bible was printed in London in
1892 and was taken to Holland by Will
liam Bradford when the pilgrims emf
grated to that country early in the sew
enteenth century. In 1920 it was
brought over in the Mayfower and
used as a family Bible by Governor
Bradford until his death in 1867. when
it became the property of his son Jo-
seph, whose name with the others OF
his family, is written on the fly leaf.
The order in which it was handed
down from that time follows From
Joseph Bradford to his son Elisha:
then to Alice Bradford, daughter OF
Elisha. who in 1867 married ZebulOn
Waters of StOughrOn, Mass; then TO
their eldest son, Captain Asa Waters,
who fought valiantly in the Revou
ton; then to his grandson, Asa Brad
ford Waters of Marietta, o. Asa w.
Waters of Philadelphia inherited ii
from his father upon his death in 1885.
The book is about 6 by 8 inches, bound
in black leather and printed in Gothic
text. The margins are covered with
annOtations, but the writing has be-
come too faint to be seen with the ma

AS an illustration Of the distance

the fumes and exhalations from the
sulphur springs Of Colorado can be dis
tinguished at distance of fully twenty
miles. The delicious perfume Of the

in foggy weather travellers 100 miles

proximity to the coast Of Colombia by
the sweet smell brought them on a

A Tender Husband.

In connection with a slight affec-
ton Of Mrs. Ulysses s. Grants eyes a
very pretty story is told indicative of
General Grants tender devotion to her.
When he was president, she became
somewhat sensitive about her eyes
she suffered from strabismus-andc con-
suited a specialist to see what could be
done for her. The specialist told her
he thought he could improve her eyes,
but the operation would be painful.
She consulted her husband to learn
whether he would advise the operation.
Don't have 1t done, dear" said the
general, pressing her cheeks with his
two hands. Let those dear eyes stay
Just as they are. If they were changed,
l might not recognize my sweetheart"

And so, young physician, as you are
now ready to consecrate your life to
the Saviour | am going to tell you
about beautiful scene which perhaps
may happen in your life and death.
hope the death scene may happen many
years from now. Some day in the dim
future, let us hope when your life's
work Is drawing to close, there Will
be great excitement in some village or
In one Of the neighbOrhoods of great
city. Everywhere the word will be
whispered: Have you heard the newsE
Have you heard the news? The doc
tor, the good old family doctor, is very
sick" Then the news will be printed
In the village or the city newspapers
that the good doctor, the family doctor,
is dead Then in your family home
there will be assembled fearful gath
erlng. The young men and the young
women there will not only remember
that you welcomed them into the
world, but also Will tell how you put
your gentle hand Of remonstrance upon
their shoulders when they were about
to drift away into sin. Then the older
folks will tell how you prayed with
them when they lost their first babies.
And the minister will tell how your
presence was always the strongest splr-
itual reinforcement in the church. And
the poor families will tell how you not
only paid for the medicines out OF your
own pocket. but also how you got your
friends to help out their winter need
with clothing and food and coal. And
while these weeping friends are telling
Of your good works, as the weeping
widows did about the corpse OF Dorcas.
there will be heard fiutter Of wings.
Then the same messenger which car
ried up your soul-yOur redeemed soul
to the white throne Of God will return.
And the same voice which spake when
the white dove lowered over the Christ
standing in the Jordan will speak then.
And then all the weeping friends Will
recall the divine cOmmendatiOn, Il was

FIRE AT NORMAL SCHOOL
Big Building Saved From Destruction
After a Hard Struggle.

Dallas was thrown into a state Of
great excitement at o'clock Tuesday
afternoon by a telephone message
from Monmouth saying that the Ore
gon State Normal School building
was burning and asking for help
from this city. On account Of the
absence Of transportation facilities, it
was impossible to send any part Of the
fire apparatus, but large crowd Of
men and boys boarded the motor and
were soon speeding toward Monmouth
at a lively rate. The run Of seven
miles was quickly made, and
when the train arrived in the Normal
town the Dallas people rushed to the
aid of their neighbors, who, by heroic
work, however, had gotten the flames
under control. The Independence
hook and ladder company arrived on
the scene few minutes later and lent
valuable aid in putting out the fire.
The fire started on the roof on the
West side Of the building and burned
over about one-third of the surface.
The interior Of the building was dam
aged to the extent Of about $1,000 by
smoke and water. The total damage
is estimated at $25OO, covered by in
surance. The fire originated from a
heating pipe.
School will be reopened as soon
as the repairs. to the building can
be made. The good work Of the
students and citizens in saving this
valuable building is entitled to the
highest praise.

WOODMEN MINSTRELS
McMinnvlIIe Camp VIII Put On It's
Big Show i'm Dallas Tuesday
Night.

Arrangements were completed yes
terday for the appearance Of the Nc
Minnville Woodmen Minstrels at the
Dallas City Hall next Tuesday eve
ninc. The boys played to crowded
houses two nights in McMinnviIle
last week, and the papers of that city
say it was the most enjoyable minstrel
entertainment ever given there. The
McMinnville News says:
GAS a usual thing an amateur min
strel show never fulfills the expecta-
tions of the public. But it falls tothe
local camp Of Woodmen, under the
supervision Of d. A. Doty, to not only
come up to general expectation but to
accomplish what is seldom done in
acknowledgements the same bill
a second evening and greet house.
On Thanksgiving evening the opera
house was filled to overfowing.
CATER the opening number by the
company, Delwin Warren rendered rs
1t Lover in very satisfactory man
ner, and responded to an encore. Fred
Boardman followed in a beautiful
bass solo, When You are Here, Love,
and sang the last verse softly as an
encore. TIM so Tired O. Livin, was
the title of Dave Doty's song, but he
didn't act like it; he, too, had to ap-
pease the audience with second pro-
duction, as did Mr.. Wheeler in the
Song of the Anvil VIM. T. Macy
sang Only a Soldier Boy in his
ususual easy and pleasing style. OF
course the END men kept everyone
aware of their presence between songs.
"H. S. Park and his African harp
entertained the audience previous to
the appearance Of the 'Woodmen'
quartet which consisted Of Dell
Wheeler, Bill Logan, Dell Warren
and Dave Doty. They rendered Down
in the Deep in a most captivating
way, responding to two encores. Harry
Woodrum, Will Kingery, @. Hender-
shott and B. F. Cannon became in
volved in some awful predicaments in
a sketch entitled Absent Minded
DR.. Fl. L. Toney, champion U. of M.
Gym. team, performed on the flying
rings, winning round after round of
applause. Elmer Cummins was not
improperly designated on the pro-
gram as slackwire equilibrist. His
feats are simply wonderful. In THE
Haunted Music Room Messrs. Park
and Doty made everyone laugh until
their sides ached. D. W. Feely, Harry
Connoway on the cornet, Dell Warren,
on the saxophone and Howard Kauff-
man on the trombone, greatly pleased
their auditors in three selections. The
Woodmen drill team concluded the
program with their drill. The affair
was we'll advertised and we'll managed
from conception to completion"

as he has treated my horses for the
