I have packed my 45 years accumu- lations in a baking powder can and am going to Douglas to stay. Talk about your snaps. l went in there last Friday at an expense of three dol lars, and the way I broke even would not ruffle the bosom of a duck pond l just leaned up against the redwood and drank Copper City beer at five cents 3 glass. Every glass l took saved 71-2 cents, and I kept that up till I got even with my expenses and was $1.35 ahead Now I have rented a shack down along side of a sharp curve with heavy grade tipping west whe nthe freight comes along, some coal is sure to roll off the cars. 1 use part of the coal and sue the company for damages for injuries sustained from falling over the balance of it. Then purloin a few pockets full of barley and induce my neighbors' hens to come over to my house, where they fool around until it is too late to 20 home to law. and their joyous cackie comes up through the cracks in my floor. Another scheme for getting coal was invented by Davy Crockett. That was to paste up a picture Of the President and Superintendent close 70 the track. and the trainmen will throw coal at them as long as they are n sight. The rest is easy.

 The audience of 10000 people ap. plauded wildly at the graceful act. and the gallant matadors pinned the roses in their hats.

 The exposition which is to be held in Portland next summer revives in- terest in the thrilling journey of Lewis and Clark. The people of the North west are sparing nothing to make it in all respects worthy the expedition whose centennial it commerorates. The exposition site is made up Of hills and valleys, an attractive lagoon and islands; the beautiful Willamette swings around the eastern and north ern boundary, Mt. Hood and Mt. St. Helens mark the sky line. and in the far distance Mt. Rainier and nt Adams can be clearly seen. No expo sition ever had such a wonderful set ting. The location is indescriably beautiful. The landscape gardening has simply emphasized natural beau ties The forest trees, fir. spruce, and smountain ash are left standing. the Oregon vine growing as itonly grows in it's native state; great quantities of dogwood, whose color glory is only rivaled by the many varieties of ma pie. lawns are green and thousan Is of La France roses are storing reserve strength for next summers blossoms. Bridges will connect the islands to the mainland while gondolas. row boats. and canoes will add greatly to the pleasure of the guests.-Juiia Fraser in Sunset Magazine for April.

When Eugenie Thais Law ton. as Madame Alvarez. came upon the stage she was bombarded with flowers by the matadors and their friends. A tthe close of the act a huge floral piece was handed over the footlights and attached to it was a small sandal-wood box. Tn the box was a magnificent white mantilla at Juarez. Attached to the valuable maDtilla was a card bearing the best wishes to Miss Lawton of the mata dors and their friends.
 Miss Lawton wears the mantilla nightly at the Tabor, and experts say that the delicate lace work is worth $1 900 in American gold Needless to say Miss Lawton is proud of the pres. ent made to her by the bull fighters of Mexico.
 Rider Haggard. author of "The Brethren" who was in Fl Paso re- gently and is now so-journing in Cali fornia, has been very active in the in- terest of the poor in England, es- pecially on the question of the over crowding of cities, and the relief that can be afforded to the tenement dwellers through emigration to The country. He has been laboring for the development of the agricultural side of English life, and this method of relieving congested city districts is one part of his scheme. He has interested the English government in his plans and has obtained a notable recognition. An appointment as com missioner of the British government has been given him, and he is being sent to the United States to investi- gate the conditions of the poor here, and to look into the methods of relief work as carried on by the Salvation army and similar charitable organiza- tlpns. Though Mir.
