With all Difference to English customs. a
very safe rule Is. cat nothing with a spoon
| that can be taken with a fork.
A hostess does not press IL guest to eat
more. nor assure her that there Is an
abundant supply: it were invidious for her
to doubt it. Where considerations of health
do not forbid II. Il is courteous to partake
a little of every course.
No guest passes a plate. or offers to
serve anything unless requested to do so.
To detect oneself In a soleciSm is. as a
rule. as mortifying a thing as can happen.
Under such circumstances. men and
women behave very differently. and so be-
tray themselves. In the sequel more than
they do in the act.
a young woman with an undue amount
OF Country-Cirl ignorance and lack of ex-
perence was invited to luncheon at a fash
ionable house. Bouillon was served in
cups.
The girl thought 1t was tea and asked
the maid for sugar. Before she put it in
to the bouilIon. the hostess, by whose ell
bow the young woman was sitting, said:
That. my dear. Is bouillon."
Yes. l know retorted the guest. but
l always take sugar in mine"
A CUSTOM WITH HER.
A a matter OF fact. she had never taken
bouillon in any way. and had not the re-
hottest idea what It was. and she made her
mistake all the more glaring by not fol-
lowing the plan which indicates breeding
simplicity.
Abraham Lirroln had an experience not
entirely dissimilar to that OF the Young
woman in question. At a dinner party at
which he was present there was a saddle
Of mutton.
When the butler passed a glass of Jelly
Lincoln took 1t and ate Its contents. An
other glass was passed from diner to diner
and each took n spoonful. Lincoln OBJ
served this. and with a characteristic quiet
laugh. said:
II seem to have taken more than my
share"
There was no apology and no embarrass-
ment. a particularly fastidious woman
who was present said afterwards that the
s~ad-looking and rather awkward frontiers
man was, by nature. a better gentleman
than any one she had ever met. even in
places where men were supposed to be
gentlemen as a matter of course.
One of the fundamental rules to observe
Is the manner of sitting down at the table.
In a certain recent book a young girl
writes to her mother: II am sure you
made "a mistake in what you told me, tina
ell well-bred people behave nicely at din
ner. and sit up. because they don't a bit.
Lots of them put their elbows on the ia
BILE. and nearly all sit anywhere on their
chairs"
Do not sit on the edge of TIE chair. nor
sidewise. Nor should the back rest con-
tinually on the back of the chair. An easy
upright position In the proper one.
The feet should rest on the floor, and sit
far enough away from the plate to be able
to use the knife n fork without awk-
wardness.

Arrested Yesterday by Sheriff Burnett
"A Washington Man-Now in
Tail

y
Milton Gable, ex-member of the
Legislature in the state of Washing
ton. and ex-grain dealer of Wilbur,
Washington is in the Benton ceun-
| ty Jail, awaiting removal to Lincoln
county Washington for trial. He
was arrested by Sheriff Burnett at
the home of A. G. Schumacher,
several miles north of Corvallis
yesterday morning. He is wanted
in Davenport, Washington, on
charge of embezzlement, and for
his arrest reward of $Ioo is offer
ed. The man has been living for
some time at various farm homes
in northern Benton. where he was
well known as NJ. Mum. When
taken in custody by Sheriff Burnett
he admitted that his name is Gable.
and made an explanation of the
circumstances that led to the charge
against him.
Gable, alias Mum, is man of
55 years of age, and is a man of
culture. He has pleasant face
and evidently man OF affairs be-
fore he got into trouble. He has
been in hiding since July, 1903,
when he skipped from Wilbur,
Washington, leaving his family be-
hind. He came to Corvallis dur
ing the summer and was in town a
day or two. Before that he was
in Albany, in Salem and for a time
in Polk County. From Corvallis
he went into the northern portion
of Benton, where he worked as a
carpenter for time on a new house
built by one of the Dodele Brothers.
j Two or three days ago, Sheriff
Burnett received a number of circu-
lars, containing a description ol
Gable. As is his custom, the
sheriff sent copy of the circular to
persons in various parts of the
county. A telephone message from
/ Wells announced that a man ans
wering the description of the party
was at the Stellmacher heme.
i 1t was yesterday morning when
Sheriff Burnett knocked at the
Schumacher door He was array
ed in hunting suit as though
kChina shooting. "Come in, u
said a voice. and as Mrs. Stell-
macher opened the door, his eyes
fell on the man he wanted. care
you Mr.. Gable?" inquired the sher'
iff. "No; my name is Mum" an.
swered the stranger. "Well, am
the sheriff Of Benton county, and
I want you was the reply. Mum
asked permission to change his
cloth hes, and it was granted. Or
the way to town, he admitted his
guilt. He was a grain dealer ii
Wilbur, and in charge Of a ware
house. AS a result of operations
/ he discovered that the stock o1
wheat in the warehouse was moi
sufficient for outstanding receipts.
He mortgaged everything he had
and purchased a carload of whea,
to apply on the deficiency. It was
not nearly enough, and seeing that
trouble was ahead, he left the coun-
try. That was in July 1903. and
ever since, Mr.. Gable has been is
olated from his family. and a ref
ugee from home. He has waived
his right to demand extradition
papers, and the sheriff at ,Daven-
port has been wired to come for
him.

The two football games that
are to determine the Northwest
championship are to be played at
Corvallis. There are only three
teams in line for the honor. These
are the University of Oregon, the
University of Idaho, and OAC.
Pullman is out of it by reason of a
defeat at the hands of Idaho and
U of o has defeated Albany and
Willamette. The University of
Washington is not in line because
of her defeat by OAC. This leaves
U ofO, U of I and OAC to settle
the matter between themselves.
The University of Oregon plays
OAC on the 10Th at Corvallis, and
FIVE days later, on the same ground
Idaho plays the OAC men. Unless
there should be tie scores or de-
feat for OAC in both instances,
the two games should decide the
Northwest championship. In any
event, greater interest will attach
to each game than to any other
intercollegiate game played In the
Northwest this season.
