H ad Suitors in Plenty

There is chidlike simplicity about
the peasant folk of Montenegro A
woman who has travelled among them
says that both men and women, on
her arrival, asked her, with perfect
frankneSs. the most personal ques-
tions. When she explained that she
had come by train and steamboat, the
inference was that she had great
wealth.
And you have come so far to see
us? Bravo. Are you married?"
No" said the traveller.
There was great excitement and
much whispering.
Wait. watt" cried woman. Then,
at the top of her voice, she shouted,
"MilOsh, Milosh!"
A tall, bronZed boy about 1S years
old edged his way through the crowd.
His mother stood on tiptoe and whis-
pered in his ear. He looked coy and
twiddled his fingers.
ASK her! ask herr" cried men and
women, encouragingly.
Milosh plucked up courage, thumped
his chest and blurted out:

How the Pigeons Mate

On a south Jersey farm, which was
the home of thousand pigeons and
which was conducted by a woman
who had formerly been bookkeepcr
in Philadelphia, was found one par
tcular fly and coop which was the
abiding place of young doves that had
reached the mating season. says the
Era Magazine. These young birds
were associated together SO that they
might select their life companions.
The interior of the walls of the coop
was filled with boxes and those
pigeons which had mated would
select one of these boxes for their
home and nest.
This period of courtship is one filled
with excitement for the birds Two
young pigeon cocks, having selected
the same hen for mate, have been
known TO fight to the death in their
rivalry. The method OF combat is
peculiar. The beak and wings alone
are used, the combatants catching
each other with their beaks by the
skin of the head and beating each
other with their strong wings.

ing might be too crude for perfect

fessional in New York city to have the
beautiful fly more carefully preserved.
Immediately the old collector went
into ecstasies.

WHITE HOUSES NEW EAGLE.
Symbol to Be Larger and Finer Than
Ever Before.


Ever Before.
A new gilded eagle will stretch its
protecting wings over the white house
at an early date.
The new bird will be finer and larger
than the old eagle that has perched
for so many years on the Flagstaff
over the main entrance. What is more
to the point, it will be more securely
fastened.
Oddly enough, there has been no
eagle over the white house since Pres
ident Roosevelt's election. The flag
staff ornament was blown off by a
high wind An the day previous. 1t
was replaced quickly, but the next day
the same thing happened again.
No one about the white house is
affected with supersttious ideas, but
the recurrence of this incident natural
ly suggested to the officials in charge
OF the presidents house that some
thing was wrong with the bird. and it
was decided to replace it with brand
now one.
The figure is about one foot across
the wings, and is of the usual type
as exhibited on government buildings.

The occasional instances of infidenty

one pigeon tires of his mate and seeks
another he meets vigorous protest
from the companion of the bird whicu
he covets. When they have agreed
to spend their lives together Mr. and
Mrs. Dove select box and the laying
begins. The parent birds may then
be less than eight months old.

HOW TO
DOUBLE
TRADE
A Salem Business Man Re
VealS Secrets of His
Success

One Salem business man is truly an
Ioptimist. He has been here 10 years,
and has doubled his business every
year since coming to Oregon's capital
city. Reference is here made to c. H.
Hinges, the State-street jeweler, and
he makes it clear to anythinking per.
son that these statements are correct.
To start with he admits that he COM
menced with a very modest beginning,
small stock and small trade. He
started out to do certain things, and he
made his point every time by close at
tention to business. He does not claim
to be smarter than other business men,
but rather adheres to the homely AK
IONS of the old-fashioned, self made
man who worked his way up.
To start with Mr.. Hinges is a finished
mechanic of the old school, who knows
how to make anything in his line from
the raw material. This enables him to
do what many others dare not attempt.
In short, he is a master of his trade, and
that gives him solid foundation to
build upon.
MIR. Hinges has been in business for
% years, and says that one of the
strongest reasons for his success is his
strict adherence to the fundamental
fact that he has pushed popular prices
from the start. He has held down his
rofts, and always marked his goods
in plain figures, and these facts appeal
to the average thinking person.
Mr.. Hinges today has one of the most
complete stocks in his line on the Pa
,ifc coast. 1t is not the largest stock,
but it contains rare variety of the
newest and most practical things on
the market. For instance, instead of
wading through a stock of several hun
dred pieces of cut-glass, which con-
tains only limited number Of the new
ost designs, you find only the latter in
his stock. Thus you are saved time in
making selections, and no additional
profits are required to pay for carrying
dead stock. Thus it is with his other
lines, such as iewelry, watches, silver
wear and novelties. He only carries the
most desirable articles, and, as re-
suit, can carry on his business with the
smallest profits. just test his stock
and see for yourselves.

Another curious pendant to her sen.
tence was the loss Of honor for the re.
mainder Of her natural life. The de.
tails of the trial were revolving in the
extreme, proving the woman to be
monster of iniquity.
The story of her career is one Of
the most revolving in the criminal an.
nails Of the empire. 1t appeared from
the evidence given at the trial that
she was born in Hanover, in 1859, her
maiden name being Berkefeld. After
somewhat checkered career in her
native province, where several prose.
cutions and imprisonments for illegal
operations and imposture had rendered
it impossible for her to carry on her
calling of midwife, she moved to Ham.

professional foster-mother.
Her method of procedure was to in

pers prominent advertisements, in
which the adoption of children born out
of wedlock was promised in return for
single monetary payment. These no.
tees brought her many clients from
the fashionable, as well as from the
humble, ranks of society. For in.
stance, it is stated that for taking
over a child whose parents belonged
to the highest circles of the town of
Hanover she received fee of $1,000
in addition to $3.50 as hush money.
At the same time she inserted in the
papers other advertisements to the eff
