THE IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny of Men-The Influence of
Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestmated.

Seven-eighths of the
men in this world marry
n woman because she is
beautiful IN their eyes
because she has the quail
ties which inspire admira-
ton, respect and love.
There is a beauty In
health which is more at
tractive TO men than mere
regularity of feature,
The influence of women
glorious In the possession
OF perfect physical health
upon men and upon the
civilization of the world
could never be measured.
Because of them men have
attained the very heights
OF ambition because of
them even thrones have
been established and de-
stroyed.
What a disappointment.

Great Gunsl

Harvey Sargent reports splen-
did success in selling his gopher
guns. For a number of years he
has been manufacturing and sell
ing these guns and finds that in
going over the same ground
formerly canvassed he meets with
greater success than in new terri
tory.
These guns do the work. Oh
this there is no doubt, as is
evidenced by the fact that Mr..
Sargent shot one of his fingers
in perfecting the gopher ex-
tinguisher.
A short time ago he started for
Southern Oregon on a junketing
trip and took with him us oi
the guns. He got no farther than
Roseburg when a shortage in his
supply compelled his return tc
this city that he might manu-.
facture more of them. A day OF
two ago Mr.. Sargent started on a
trip. down the east side of the
Willamette with Portland as his
destination. He will be absent
two or three weeks.

Bad StubbIe Fire.

What might have been a most
disastrous FIRE occurred a few
miles south of Corvallis late
Tuesday afternoon. It appears
that a couple of boys, aged about
II years, are thought to have
been smoking in the stubble of
Mrs. Ann Smiths wheat field
and to have thrown away their
cigarettes. Thus is explained
the origin of the fire.
The flames spread rapidly and
men gathered from every direc-
ton to do battle. Some wheat
standing in the shock, the prop.
erty of Mrs. Smith, was destroy
ed. The fire reached the division
fence between the farm Of Mrs.
Smith and Riley Hurlburt and
destroyed considerable of it. At
one time the flames were headed
directly for Mr.. Hu11burt's resi-
dence, but by good fortune were
checked. A large stack of straw
belonging to Mr.. Hurlburt was
consumed by the flames.
But for the prompt arrival of
fre-fghters untold damage might
have resulted. AS it was, it was
a narrow escape and should serve
as warning, not only to boys
but to everyone to be very care
full about fire, especially at this
season of the wear.

George II. received four million dollars for ruling
over England; but he could not live this and the
country had to pay his debts of two million, two

III surrendered his interest in the lands to the
nation in return for fixed annual income of four
million dollars which afterward became five million,

his reign complaisant Parliament had to settle for

fact. but the statement does not convey the whole

Kings allowance salary; some of them know that

are getting good value for the money.

British Empire might have ruler for something less
than fifty times that amount But the Kings pOpu-
