Philadelphia woman. This woman had
noticed that one Of the pipes connected
with the washstand In her bathroom

leak precisely without tearing out any
more Of the wall than was necdful.
She shnt her cat up in the room di-
reCtly below the bathroom, and In the
basin Of the defective wnshstand she
secured q vial Of the oil of valerian.

WESTON PEOPLE RISE AGAINST
PRESIDENT FRENCH OF THE
STATE NORMAL.
Alleged He Took Exception to One OF
Teachers Associating With
Brickyard EmpIoye.

Because it is alleged that President
French, of the Oregon State Normal
school, at Weston, took exception to
one of the woman teachers at the in
stitution keeping company with a
brickyard employee, and because he
made public a statement that none
but hObOes worked in brickyards," he
has been made the target for rotten
eggs, and factional strife in the school
has resulted, says a Weston dispatch.
People of Weston have interested
themselves in the controversy and its
effects bid fair to be far reaching.
Brickmaking is the principal indus
try of the city, and a large force of
men is constantly employed there. 1t
is from these men and their families
that the town derives its support.
Shortly after President French had
made his Objectionable statement he
was Waylaid on his way home and rot
ten egged. Who threw the eggs is not
known, but it is supposed brickyard
hands did it.

CALL THEM SELF RISERS.

People.

tary John X. Hardy encountered a let

of Idaho and the people thereof The
house was about to issue a standard

ings.'
Secretary Hardy accepted the COM
mission under protest. He communed
with leading old timers and authori-
ties on early day happenings and as a
result the following letter was dis
patched to the publishing house:
Replying to your communication of
the 25th ultimo inquiring as to the
nickname applied to the state of Idaho

that Idaho was called The Gem of the

of the pantaloons of one of the boys in

he advertised and established the fact
that IdahOans are .Self-Risers.
