giving a great worlG's fair he at once
volunteered his services. and the ie.
suit is that he has several acres at

drotion OF a typical Oregon ranch Is
being made. Here he will show 10
al who -ome his truly remarkable
collection. vLich has cost him his
spare time u ring ten years and his
spare chaLGe to the extent OF $S2,c50.
Included IN his fine collection are
tairty-six varieties Of pheasants, every

fowl, storhs, crane, jungle-fowl, wild
turkeys, pigeons. fancy poultry. qualis,
tlagopans, Angora goats, Aranian
horses, and so on through long
i,st.
Mr. Davenport will win amending
gratitude by affording an opportunity
u seeing genuine Arabian horses
which are a rarity in America.
Up to this time his collection has
been kept at the famous Homer
Davenport farm at Morris Plains, N.
J. AT that place the animals have
been visited by the country's greatest
men as Mr.. Davenports guests. His
departure for Portland last week was
the occasion Of big barbecue, at
which many of the best known wri.
ters, editors, actors and politicians
were present.
Further interest in the bringing Of
the famous collection TO the Lewis
and Clark exposition Is added by the
fact that number of investigations
into the habits and peculiarities of the
birds and animals are to be made by
Portland scientists and ornithologists.
These Investigations will begin short
ly, and will continue until October IS.
Work on the Davenport Farm Is now
nearly completed, having been plan
ned and pushed ahead by Mr.. Daven-
ports boyhood friend, George l.. Ba-
ker who has been highly successful
as theatrical manager and who is
helping the cartoonist in this period
of recreation and visit among old
familiar scenes. Like all other por-
tions Of the great exposition, the
farm will be complete in every detail,

czAREVlTcH's
Russian Troopers Who Have a Sin
gular Distinguishing
Feature.

When the baby czarevitch was a few
hours old he was gazetted to Pavlovski
regiment Of the guard, one of the finest
looking Lodies of troops in Europe. No
man can belong to this regiment I'M
less his nose is decidedly turned up,
and the more %retrousse it is the more
desirable the result.
AS might be imagined, says the Bos-
ton Herald, the regiment is not marked
by comeliness, but it is because EN-
peror Paul, whose nose had nostrils
that caught the rain, conceived the idea
that he would collect a company of
soldiers and offices possessed of the
same extraordinary style of feature
that the Paylovski regiment was so
named, but his conservative descend
ants still pay him the honor of retain
ing his nosy regiment and recruiting it
from the ugliest men in Russia.
Another conservative observance in
stituted by Emperor Paul is compelling
the P~avlovskis to blow their noses i'm
mediately before the appearance on the
scene of the sovereign on the occasion
of any inspection by him of the regi-
ment. Baby Alexis. if he is as OBJ
serving as other Kids, will be certain
to comment or the proboscides of his
guard. However. it won't hurt their
feelings. That is why they are there.

THE BLUE GOOSE MYSTERY
Tale of a Dutch Ship That Was Re-
garded with Suspicion by Early
New Workers.

When New York was still young a
sturdy Dutch merchant by the name o.
Van Linkle acquired wealth by his ven
lures in shipping. In those days, writes
Dan Beard, in Recreation, the differ
ence between a pirate and an honest
merchantmen vas often as slight as ii
Is to-day between an honest merchant
and a trust magnate, and it had little
or nothing to do with business ethics.
Van Linkle sem many ships to the
Red Sea-" as ii was called, loaded
with gunpowder and shot, which was
traded off for silks, spices and orien-
tai goods. These were brought back to
New York by vessels manned by
strangely dressed and fierce-lookins
sailors. The details of the trade did
not appear on the books of Van Linkle,
though his less venturesome neighbors
shook their heads and threw out dark
hints and even suggested that the gun
powder was exploded and the shot ex-
PEELED through the brass and brolse
threats of the comical old cannons be-
fore the trade was effected. However
that may be, Van Linkle invested his
earnings in land and generations of
people who needed the land as an op-
portunity to carry on business willing
ly aid large sums for the privilege 0
using it, and the Van Linkle estate
