Grace takes after her mother. That's plain enough. Still. don't know but that I'd rather be mar ried to a woman who get a little too plump along late in life than to nave one who dried up to nothing but skin and bones.
 1:23-We're of again This is the ninth time they've run us down the track and then run us back. with a nerye-destroying bump at each end. Oh. well. l guess there's no use trying to go to sleep now. I'm going to take it philosophically and save wear and tear on my temper
 1.31-For heavens sake! They're yelling at somebody now to set up on the roof of this car and pour water into il. l wonder if they didn't have time to attend to that earlier in the eve ming, when people were not trying to sleep? l believe this road is run by lunatics
 1:50-I know that man in the next berth is now in the last throes. Con- found him. he ought to die. Any man who can sleep through a racket like this deserves an ignominious death. Still, 1 don't suppose he's to blame after all. He makes so much noise of his own that he doesn't know anything else is going on.

Bsanty Evsrvxhere

Having thrown aside her wraps and furs and donned the ligl> attire which oomports with the seashore. or the short skirt and blouse which go along with the alpenstock of the mountain climber. or appearing in the natty garo of the yachtswoman, or else lounging at ease in a steamer chair on an out going liner. the young American wom- an in her annual evolyement as sum mer girl is distributed 10 the four quar- ters of the globe. II Is merciful pro- vision of Providence. opines the Bal umore News scribe. which showers opportunities upon the sex which is not tied down eight CT ten hours day during the summer time to the ledger and day book But it is more than an opportunity; f is process of education, Of inspiration and Of eleva- tion. Were it not that the American sovereign can always find enough coins jingling in his pantaloons pocket to give the fair members of h!s household a loose rein during the summer months. the world would be denied the revelation of feminine beauty which is brought to it by about every other, if not every. woman who goes abroad with the stars and stripes upon her heart. If it were not the case that, eojoined with the privilege of means, there is an innate peregriIatory i'm pulse in the American race, which the gertler sex heroieally assumes to honor in behalf of both sexes, Ameri- can beauty would not be distributed abroad so widely. Nor would Balti. more beauty be so scattered through out the states of the union where na- ture has not been concerned that wom- en should be an ornament as well as force. It is only when one pauses to consider the value of the esthetic con- tributions which America makes to the world that one realizes the impor tant place the Baltimore American type of femininity holds toward the es- sentials of art in this age.

Bitter feeling against tEe methods through which many great fortunes of the day are acquired finds expression in all sorts of ways and in all sorts of places A somewhat unexpected and significant indication of the intensity of this feeling is found in the fact that the addresses of educators and public men to the graduating classes of the colleges and universities in every part of the country denoence the dishonest "get-rich-quickH methods by which so many great fortunes of the day are acquired.

menced in earnest and this summer
promises to be the banner season for
this popular resort. All hotels at Sea-
side and Gearhart are open and pre-
pared to take care of their guests in
manner that has justly made them
SO popular in the past, and that these
famous watering places are the OBJ
jective points Of nearly all visitors
to the Lewis and Clark fair at Port
land, who have included in their itin-
erary this delightful side-trip to the
ocean, is evident by the activity on the
part Of the A. & G. r. r. in provid-
ing ample transportation facilities at
extremely low rates, as well as the
propritors of the numerous hotels in
preparing for most desirable accom-
modations for their guests at the beach
at moderate charges.
Round trip excursion tickets are
sold at reduced rates by agents of the
o. r. & N. company from all points
on that company's line to Seaside,
Gearhart and all other points on Clap
son beach, the only summer resort en-
joying direct rail connection from
Portland. In order to avoid transfers
to boat line at Astoria, prospective Wis
itors to beach resorts should be partic-
ular to specify Clatsop Beach as their
intended destination.

1T WILL COST MONEY TO W.T.
NESS THE NELSONBRlTT
FIGHT.
Price of Admission Tickets Range
From 81 to $3-Accommodatons
From $50 to $3-Accommodations

Every form of sport in San Fran
cisco is subservient just now to the
Britt-Nelson fight. The lovers of that
game talk nothing else, even though
the Gardner-Ryan battle tonight
should and doubtless will be well
worth seeing.
If any other man other than Nelson
can give Britt an interesting evening
Gardner is the person. If he can get
down to weight, it may be that he will
be given mis- chance.
If you want to see Britt train, it
will cost you so cents, and you will
be compelled to have one of 100 tickets
issued daily to the training quarters.
That's the idea of William Britt the
fighters brother and manager. It's
a pretty scheme and it will help the
family Golfers. "Willus' justifies it
on the ground of necessity, declaring
that without the charge and the limit
ed number of tickets, the crowd
grows so great as to leave Britt no
room in the gymnasium for his exer-
cises.
the ring will be below the level of
the sea. The ropes are to be stretched
in pit so that all will have a fair
view of the battle. Chairs for the
press and the $40 box seats will be
even with the arena. The benches
next to the $40 boxes will be sold at
SIS. They will be built a fair shade
higher than the chairs ahead. Then,
in order, come the SO, the $3.50 and
the IS accommodations. And back of
these, extending to the fence, will be
the bleachers at SO per ticket.
1t will be just 100 feet from the
seat fartherst from the ring. So that
whether you pay $40 or SO, you will
have fine view of the fight. Coffrotn
has planned to seat 10,10O persons.

EIGHTY MILLIONS.
Yield Of Corn May Reach 100000, 900
Bushels.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Aug. 25.-If
there is no killing frost in Iowa until
after the first week in September, an
idea by a college professor will have
added 100000 to Iowa's corn yield
and give the state a 100000 bushel
crop-the biggest in it's history. That
Iowa farmers will make 100000, 900
this year as a result of needing the
advice of a man who receives $500 a
year for teaching agronomy in the
Iowa state college is the prediction of
North Western and Illinois Central
railroad officials, who have obtained
weekly reports of the corn crop in
Iowa.
This apparently magical achieve
ment must be credited very largely to
Professor P. G. Holden of Ames, VINO
came forward three years ago with the
surprisingly simple statement that
Iowa farmers were not getting more
than two-thirds of the possible corn
crop for the reason that they did not
put more than two-thirds enough corn
in the ground to grow.
Farmers ignored his advice, but
railroads didn't. Last spring the

estimate is that the Iowa corn yieli
this year will be 100000, 900 bushels"
Railroads report that they have
found that about 20 per cent of the
gain in the prospective corn yield is
due to the work of the Ames enthu-
siast.
