The Girl From Sweden.

Manager Clarke informs us that he
has secu ed an exceptional attraction
for our theatre-goers in "The Girl
From Sweden" comedy drama in
which heart interest and comedy are
provided in about equal parts.
This attraction win be presented at
the opera house January 6, by Man
ager Fred Falkner IL tells an inter
esting story woven about the lives of
a Swedish girl and her Swedish lover,
and while it Is largely of the domestic
style of drama, it offers thrilling
touch or two of melodrama. The
Swedish dialect character is fayorite
with many theatre goers, and the tun
evolved in the stage stories of the ex
periences in this country of the hardy
immigrants from the Northland is of
sane and enjoyable kind. "The Girl
from Sweden, the heroine of the
play, is loyable character and wins
the sympathy ard applause of her
audiences by her simple devotion to
truth and duty, and her courage in
dangerous clisises. The hero of the
play is young Swede who is ever
ready to do battle with his wits or his
fists In defense of what is just and
right. An unusual amount of comedy
Is developed In the action of the play,
and many specialties are introduced,

stocking. Of Human Hair.

They were black stockings, thick,
stiff, lustrous, and the price mark on
them was SIS.
From China" said the dealer--'from
northern China. Every family has a
few pairs Of human hair stockings
there. They are worn over the cotton
stocklngs-they are too prickly to be
worn next the skin - and, properly
treated, they last lifetime. The Chi
nese exporter who sold me these stock
ings said that when a child's hair is
shaved In northern China the hair is
preserved in special hair box Of lac
quer. AS soon as the box is full enough
the hair is taken from It, and a pair of
stockings is woven. Such stockings
have sentimental, almost religious
value, and they are rarely parted with.
1t would be safe to bet that there are
not six other pairs Of hair stockings on
sale in America" New York Press.

QUIET CHRISTMAS
IN HOOD RIVER

Christmas was quietly observed in
Hood River. Saturday was very
busy day for the merchants, however,
some Jf them having done tho largest
business In their history. The rail
road station presented the busiest
scene OF activity, as there we're many
home eomings TO spend the holidays
under the parental roof.
The day itself was wet aud dreary
and the streets deserted and those who
could do SO stayed at home, ntent-
ing themselves with good Christmas
dinner and examining their gifts.
The churches held services appro-
pirate to the season and the Sunday
schools Of the various churches held
exercises.
Tho Sunday school of tho Unitarian
church held appropriate services for
Christmas Saturday evening. Songs,
reeitations and dialogues made up the
program. After the entertainment
the distribution Of gifts was made and
supper was served. There was large
attendance and the children spent a
very pleasant evening.
Exercises were held by the Sunday
school Of the Congregational church
Saturday evening, with program that
included singing by the scholars and
recitatlons, after which the gifts we're
distributed from the Christians tree.
A very enjoyable sacred concert was
given in the church Sunday ev H.
ing in which Miss Hershner, Miss
Gleason, Mrs. Slettin and Mrs. z. S.
Davidson and Messrs. McCalley aud
Clay Brock took part. The choir also
rendered several selections. Mrs.
jerks presided at the organ. The
church was crowded aud the concert
much enjoyed.
The Christmas exercises held by the
Sunday school scholars of the Episoo.
pal church Sunday afternoon we're
we'll attended and program was rem
dered In which songs and recitetions
were given, The affair was concluded
with the distribution of gifts from
the Christmas tree, which was very
prettily decorated Superintendent
Wood was in charge of the exercises.
The teachers in the new Sunday school
feel quite encouraged at the good show
ing made by the scholars aud the in
terest manifested by them in the Sun
day school work.
The exercises IN the United Breth-
len church were given ON Saturday
evening, and as usual, were very en-
ioyahle. The audience was not the
Characteristic jam of the place, but
that added to the pleasure of the en-.
tertainment, for every one was com.
fortably seated
The cantata, "In Search of the
King, was we'll rendered. The reci-
tations by the children we're all good.
Miss Florence Hauna's solo deserves
special mention, because of the excel
lent manner in which it WIS rendered.
The chief feature Of the evening to
the children was the treat folloWin ing
the exercises, when all formality was
cast aside and every one entered into
the spirit of tie occasi IN, without
which Christmas is not Christmas.
Young and old, rich and poor should
be made to feel happy over the worlds
greatest gift of uineteen centuries
ago, In this matter of gifts we are
oil more or less children.

There are pecullarities of our Eng
llsh language which no other language
exhibits. Did you ever notice how
many English words are formed by
simply dropping alternate letters-for
example, wheat, heat, eat at; sham,
ham, am; wheel, heel, eel; whale, hale,
ale, and scores Of pthers2
Again, we haGiv in our mother tongue
two words which, Joined together,
make distinct word of an entirely
different meaning, just as a single
word disjointed does. Take the words
"since" and "rely' or the separate
word sincerely" To illustrate:
Your letter came. in words that tempt me
dearly.
You wrote them, sweet, most truly and
sincerely.
For praise like that heroes might gladly

An indian SEQ serpent Legend.

An AhulAm Sc@ 5EEPCAa A~B~~
The red men Of the west have many
curious legends concerning the rivers
lakes and mountains Of that region
none more weird than that which II
told concerning Rock lake, Washing
ton. Since time out Of memory thu
Indian tribes of that vicinity believed
the lake to be inhabited by a sea mon
ster which never grows old and whose
chief diet is Indian flesh. According
to the legend, no Indian ever entered
its waters and returned therefron
alive, no matter whether the rash ac
was committed by approaching its mar
gin for drink, for plunge and
swim or for canoe ride upon III
placid bosom. All of the Indians Of
the northwest know OF the terrors Of
Rock lake, and each and every one
would prefer death with a poisoned ar
row rather than to touch Its waters
The last Rock lake horror, according
to the legend, was in 1858, when
whole band of noble red men were
sent to the happy hunting grounds by
the monster.

OyERPRODUCTION.

In another column we publish an
article on the subject Of overproduc-
tion that no doubt will be perused
with much interest by present grow
ers and also those contemplating the
raising Of apples In the valley and
elsewhere.
Much of the success In raising fruit
of superior quality at Hood River
has been due to the fact that nothing
has been done blindly. The growers
have ever been ready to experiment,
Investigate and improve on all the
known methods of fruit culture. To
look ahead and not backward and not
to keep on using a method because
some one else used it,
1t is we'll then to look the matter
of overproduotion in the face as it
were aud see If there is anything in
1t. From the figures adduced there
is apparently nothing to fear There
Is always market aud good one
for the best and t is not probable that
Hood River growers are going to take
any steps backward in the growing or
packing of their fruit. The standard
has been established aud those who
intend to enter the field hereafter viii
be compelled to aspire TO ii.

RossiaI,s Memory.

Rossinrs memory was lacking in re-
tentiveness, especially in respect to
the names of persons who had been
introduced to him. This forgetfulness
was frequently a cause Of amusement
whenever Rossini was among compa-
ny. One day be met Bishop, the Eng.
lish composer. Rossinl knew the face
we'll enough and at once greeted him.
"Ah, my dear Mr. but the name es.
capped his memory. and to convince him
that he had not forgotten him Rossini
began whistling Bishops glee, when
the Wind Blows" compliment which
the English Mozart" as Bishop had
been dubbed, recognized quite as readi-
ly as il his ecclesiastical surname had
been mentioned.

Bryant always thought he could
write much better poetry than that
contained in his "Thanatopsls," which
was one OF his earliest. During his
later days he on several occasions ex-
pressed some surprise at the prefer

particular poem, when l have done so
many things better" He believed the
translations Of Homer to be the best
