THE MIRACLE PORTRAIT.
One of she Popular Legends of the
Middle Ages.

One of she Popular Legends of the
Middle Ages.
One OF the popular legends OF the
middle ages. which appears to have
been known in various forms in all
Catholic countries of southern Europe,
has been preserved in the folklore tales
Of those countries either with the title
Of "The Story of Beatrice and the yir-
gin" OIL as "The Miracle of Our Lady
According to the medieval legend,
Beatrice was a nun in a convent at
Cologne. She knew nothing of the
wicked outside world-having been
placed In charge of the sisters when
very young-but just as she was bud
ding into w~cnanhood she was seized
with an uncomfortable desire to learn
something Of the mysteries lying be
yond the great brown walls of what
had always been her home. Finally,
after many nights of fearful restless
ness, she took the key of the sacristy,
and, p~rostrating herself before a pic
ture Of the Virgin, she said, Madonna,
l am internally tormented with dis
quietude both day and night, and today.
in order to relieve myself of this dis
tracing agony, | leave this house and
thy service to become a person of the
world" For fifteen long years, so the
story goes, she remained away from
the convent, and in this time saw all
the ups and downs and miseries of city
life in the great European trade cen
tiers. During these many weary months
she never forgot the quiet home she
had left at Cologne, and the kindly
faces of the nuns seemed to be ever
near her, especially in her troubles.
At last, when this mode of living had
become unbearable, she returned to
Cologne and applied at the convent
for admission. Seeing hat the person
who answered her rap did not seem to
recognize her, she ventured a few
words in a kind of wild attempt to
find out If possible whether the sisters
had really cared for her or had ever
longed for her return.
ID you know aught," she said.
concerning the nun Beatrice?"
uuSt VI hCl "OhdCl IiChl "Ht lht
reply came, "She has lived in this con-
vent, holly and r~eligiously, from her
youth up"
Puzzled Beyond measure at these
words, Beatrice was about to turn
away when an apparition of the Ma
donna appeared before her and said:
"My child, fifteen years since thou
quilted this convent. From that day
to this l have daily and hourly dis
charged thy duties in thy form and
dress. No n in the building knows
Of thy long absence. Go, now, and
take the keys from the altar where
thou didst leave them. resume thy
dress and do penance for thy many
sins"
Immediately after addressing these
remarks to the erring one the vision
moved as a fash of light to the sacris-
ty and assumed its accustomed place
In the portrait Of the 'holy family"
Even after settling down on the can
vas the picture Is said to have smiled
approvingly while the maynard nun
was making preparations to again be
come n of the holy sisters.

Steel i'm his Eye.
Thomas Lanplier, a stereotyper in
Sioux Falls, had an accidant last week
which might have proved serious but
for the skillful treatment which he
promptly received. While driving an
iron hoop on a barrel, using and old
hammer and a cold chisel, a small piece
of steel struck his eye and was buried
in the eye ball, He went TO an eve
specialist who by means of a giant mag
net drew out the particle.

1T is a great mistake, In my opin-

each other by any term Of endearment.
1t generally begins In the first part Of
their married life. They feel 1t is rath-

In public: 1t emphasizes their sense of
possession. Later on habit makes them
continue the epithets. but they become
meaningless. They might just as well
be Molly and Billy al far as sentiment
goes, and the simple Christian name
sounds, to my way of thinking, in bet
ter form. When especial names have
been adopted. as Is sometimes the case,
they are obnoxious in the beginning
and later on become absurd. l know a
man who began by calling his wife
Baby They have been married now
for several years, and he keeps 1t up
through force of habit, but 1t does
sound ridiculous. I was playing whist
the other day with a quondam pair Of
turtledoves who have become quite
pockish with q decade Of married life
behind them, and II was funny to hear
the old names used with marital sharp
ness. They were playing together and
were losing which made them quite
cross. You should never have taken
that trick. Honey he said sharply. "A

NEVER Saw IT
LOOKING BETTER

Rinaldo NJ. Hall and S. Glen Andrus,
railroad editor of the Chicago Record.
Herald, after their drive through the
valley Monday afternoon, declared they
never saw better fruit prospects nol
nicer kept orchards.
II thought things looked pretty nice
last year, but they are better than ever,
this season" said MIR. Hall to Glacier
man. "An orchard OF which took par.
ticular notice last year, has made such
rapid changes since then that / hardly
recognized ii as the same one. / never
saw the Hood River orchards looking
better. The prospects are that the
valley will have the largest crop ever
grown here, and il indications count foi
anything, the crop will be first class in
every particular.
"The orchards here are 80 well taker
care Of. Not weed is to be seen any
where, and the ground is smooth as (
floor. Beulah Land, the orchard now
owned by Mr.. Vanderbilt never did look
In better shape. Mr.. Vanderbilt came
here from Chicogo knowing nothing al
all about the culture of fruit, but he IL
taking deep interest in the business
and tells me he is delighted with Hood
River.
"HOod River must send good lot OF
fruit to st. Louis exposition. We expect
this valley to carry off the gold medals
there. Hood River has the fruit and
there il no riason why the growers
shouldn't have the gold medals, This
thing means great deal for Hood River.
The o. II. & N. will be glad TO cooperate
with your Commercial club in arranging
to send an exhibition of fancy fruits to
the worlds fair. ! hope you people dc
not let this opportunity slip by"

Oil On Streets a Success.

w. M. Barnett, banker, miller, mer-
chant and farmer OF WascO, Sherman
county, spent Wednesday in Hood Riv-
er. Wasco is one OF the towns of Oregon
where the citizens have found that oil
on the streets is success in laying the
dust.
Mr.. Barnett says the people of Wasco
purchased two car tanks of oil, or $500
gallons each, for 5000 a car laid down,
that was applied to six and one-half
blocks The streets of Wasco are 80
feet wide, and the blocks are larger
than they are in Hood River, being
300 TO $50 feet in length.
The oil is applied while hot, says Mr..
Barnett, and when the ground is yet
damp from the spring rains. Last week
the day the wind blew so strong and the
dust was filling the air everywhere in
Hood River, Mr., Barnett says the
streets of his town were as free from
dirt and dust as is Oak street in front
of the Glacier Office after it has been
we'll sprinkled with water,
The people of Wasco are well pleased
with the experiment of placing the
crude oil on the streets, and propose tC
apply another application next year
buying more oil and putting it on more
of the streets.

Fine Cherries From Woodworth,s.

G. D. Woodworth is turning off some
fine cherries from his Keystone ranch
at Belmont From nine acres of young
trees, Mr.. WoOdworth expects to ship
1000 boxes or 10000 pounds. The cher
ries are chiefly OF the Lambert variety
They are all put up in fancy packs and
marketed in st Louis and point in
Mexico, 100 miles south of the city of
Mexico, where Mr.. Woodworth tells
the Glacier the cherries are bringing
$1.75 per l0-pound box. This nets him
about 81 box here.
A trip to the Keystone ranch affords
a sight well worth seeing. She packing
house and orchards are filled with
crowds to busy to talk, but you don't
have to be told much; glance here and
there is sufficient to tell one that Mr..
Woodworth has a good thing. The
cherries are large and beautiful speci-
mens of the fruit. They are packed by
experts in boxes made of paper and ten
of these fit in the large boxes made of
wood. This shows the fruit off to good
advantage. 1t must be toothsome
showing that the cherries make on the
fruit stands of the worlds fair CITY.

FLOUR Mill
NOW CERTAIN

The Glacier is informed that the pro-
posed -four mill to be established in
Hood River by John P. Aplin OF Hood
River Is a sure go. 6. j. Gessling has
subscribed sufficient stock in the pro-
posed enterprise to insure its success.
1t is understood that arrangements
have been made with Mr.. Batchelder
for location and the 0. r. & N. has
promised track privileges for transpor-
tation purposes. G. j. Gessling in
formed the Glacier that he has exam
ined into the proposition and finds that
the mill machinery that Mr.. Alpin pro-
poses to move here from Cornelius is
one of the latest models and practically
new. When moved here and set up it
will be fully worth the $4,000 capitali-
zation of the company.
Mr.. Gessling left Thursday morning
for Portland where he will confer with
the other stockholders and arrange for
the incorporation of the company,
which it is proposed shall be called the
Hood River Milling Co.

have taken stock in the new Touring

Two years ago the business men of
Hood River arranged with Frank Lee
Of the Pacific Farmer to take page in
a special edition Of his paper, which he
said was TO be sent 10 100000 bona fide
residents of eastern states who were
seeking knowledge OF this western
country. The business men then agreed
to pay 500 for the page writeup with
Illustrations. Mr.. Lee met with an
accident which resulted In broken leg,
and the undertaking was delayed. Last
week, Truman Butler, president Of the
Commercial club, received commun-
ieation from Mr.. Lee, enclosing sam.
pie Of the first 10 pages OF the issue Of
the special edition OF the Pacific Farmer.
The work is printed on book paper,
with illustrations showing up clear and

most practical and concise information

Churches Oppose Sunday Base Ball.

A union service OF the Hood River
churches was held at the NJ. +. church
Sunday evening, July IL. The attend
ance was large and very able sermon
was preached by Rev. G. +. Clapp,
state superintendent OF missions OF the
Congregational church. At the close of
the discourse the following resolution
was adopted by a rising vote:
Whereas, The history of families,
towns and peoples has been, that as the
Sabbath has been broken, the morals
have gone down and the highest ideals
have been lowered,
And whereas, We feel that the intro
ductiOn OF ball games In the city OF
Hood River on Sunday has already re-
suited in lowering the standard of good
order and quiet that prevailed here, and
that the Sunday excursions to these ball
games have brought here many obiec-
tionable characters,
Therefore, We protest against this
Sabbath desecration, not for the purpose
of imposing Puritan Sabbath or any
religious idea on any one; but we do APP
peal TO every lover Of his country to do
atl III llo pONOI iOi JHO nlOidlo VI Oul
youth that they may become law.abiding
citizens, and to secure to all our citizens
the peace and quiet to which they have
right and which they need for body
and mind on the Sabbath day; and we
appeal to all lovers of good order, and
for the future welfare OF Hood River,
to do all in their power to secure quiet
day.
ave also request that copy of this
protest be published in the Glacier"
The church people state that they pro-
pose by an appeal to the moral and re-
ligious sense OF the citizens of the town
TO have Sunday base ball discontinued,
but if this proves futile, the people at the
head of the movement intend to take
legal action inseeing that the game is pro-
hibited hereafter.
The meeting Sunday night at the ME-,
church was we'll attended. The union
meeting consisted of the congre.
tions of the Methodist, Congregational
and United Brethren churches. On the
rising vote upon the resolution against
base ball, it is said that every man, wo-
