A HeadstOne.

While engaged during the past
few days in cleaning out a lot OF
rubbish that had accumulated in
the brick stable, preparatory to
remodeling it, workmen unearth-
ed a soldiers tombstone. It had
been stored there for a number
of years and it seems had almost
been forgotten.
The inscription on the stone is
as follows;
2nd Lieut.. Rich'd Fox
Co. F.
Ist Oregon Inf. 4,
Born
Nov. I8, 1888
Died
Feb. 10, 1894.
After some little inquiry we
have learned that Richard Fox
was d brother of Mrs. August
Knight, at present living in this
city. He was a member of the
G.. A. R. of Albany. The head
stone above referred tots the kind
usually provided by the govern
ment to mark the last resting
place of departed soldiers.
The stone was ordered by the
Albany G. A. R. and sent over
from Albany to this city. Through
misunderstanding on the part of
private parties interested over the
matter carriage from Albany
to this city the stone was left at
the brick stable, there to remain
until the present time. In this
neither the G. A. R. of Albany
nor of TINS city were in the least
to blame.
AS the case now stands, the To-
cal G. A. R. has taken charge of
the stone and, if not already, it
soon will be placed above the
grave of the deceased lieutenant
whose remains were inferred in
Crystal Lake cemetery.

Future Events.

Arrangements have just been
perfected for an athletic event of
unusual importance to occur here
on May IS. This will be Thurs
day., almost two weeks hence.
On this occasion a track team
from the University of Washing
ton (Seattle) will try conclusions
with our boys on OAC's field.
The visiting team has always
been unusually strong on sprints
and it is thought it is at present.
As we are not slow there will
be some pretty good races on this
occasion. Speaking OF sprints,
brings to mind that Physical Di-
rector Trine made a talk in chapel
a day or two ago and sprinting
may be said to have been his SUBJ
ject. In the course Of his re-
marks he said that tomorrow
would see one of the greatest con-
tests ever promised the public in
the way of swift-foot races. He
said that Kelley, of Columbia, is
one of the swiftest of. foot on the
coast, and equally fast men from
OAC would be pitted against
him. In fact, in this event
three Of the swiftest men on the
coast would participate. Think

.Mnn L. Nature. Enemy,

Man." said Professor Lancaster in
his Romanes lecture at Oxford, lis ma
lures rebel" Natural selection hav-
ing, as supposed, lifted him from so
low-the monad-to his present high es-
tate is now believed by many of its ad-
vocates to be failure as regards rails
ing him any higher. Having done so
much in the past, it is thought to be
incapable of doing ''the little more"
which is of such great Importance.
While in the case of other creatures
their actions are supposed to play into
the hands of natural selection, so that
this beneficent force becomes the alma
mater of new races, in the case of man
it has been otherwise. His own ac-
tions have defeated the aims of natu-
raj selection for his welfare. Darwin
held similarly pessimistic views. I'm
one of my latest conversations with
Darwin" writes Dr. A. r. Wallace, "he
expressed himself very gloomily on the
future of humanity" And this was on
the grounds that under present condi-
tions the fittest did not survive.-Lon-

A POOR FILTER.
why One Central American Town

why One Central American Town
Had Bad Drinking Water.
Here Is an incident that illustrates
the unexpected difficulties which en-
terprise has sometimes to face In Ger
tain regions of Central America: From
a certain large lake an important town
drew its supply of water. By means
of powerful steam driven pumps the
water was drawn from the lake
through a strong iron pipe, which, aft
er running some eighty or ninety yards
into the lake from the shore, ended In
IN upward turn, short arm bent at
right angles to the pipe and rising to
within few feet of the surface. Sud-
denly an epidemic visited the town In
question. The company's reputation
being threatened, 1t was decided to
straightway pull up the streets and ex-
pose the main pipes and conduits.
The entire system was laid BARE
from the outskirts of the town to the
very shores of the lake, but the minut-
est examination failed to reveal any.
suspicious feature. Then, almost at
their wits end, for the epidemic was
raging as badly as ever, the officials
entered upon the last lap and turned
their attention to the submerged por-
tions OF the conduit, and here 1t was
they found the cause. A huge ALL
gator had been drawn toward the
mouth OF the main by the very strong
Influx, and, being unable to release
itself from the suction, had remained
there until it died, and thus, for good
ness knows how long, all the water
consumed in the town had first filtered
through the decomposed carcass Of the
alligator

Persfa,n Anthem.

Persia is an ancient country, as the
world goes. 1t has ancient monuments
1t has a literature in several ages.
But one OF its institutions, its national
anthem, is comically modern. Several
French bandmasters were in Persia
less than half a century ago, organic
ing military bands. The shah was
about to start for Europe and it oc-
Cured to him that he ought to have a
national anthem. Summoning NJ. Le-
Eaire, the French military music mas
Ter of Teheran, the afternoon before
his departure, the monarch, with an
instinct more imperial than musical,
ordered him to have q persian" ma
tional anthem composed and played
before him by the imperial band next
morning. There was night work for
everybody concerned in Teheran that
night, but next morning the national
anthem" was duly played and ,ap-
proved, and it is the national anthem"
still.

rs. pe,ect. Of Memory,

With the mass Of men it is unques-
tionable that one fact drives out an
other, and it Is doubtful IL the most
learned person carries In his mind more
details OF knowledge when fifty years
old than he carried at twenty. 1t Is
only that he carries different things.
The great lawyer, for instance, obliged
to retain in his memory all the MIMI
tiae of the most complex case, with
the liability of hopeless defeat should
one fact drop out Of place In the chart
of his mental voyage, may very likely
have to enter on another case by who'll
ly forgetting the first one. He can no
more carry it all with him than he can
carry the knowledge by which he per-
haps graduated summa cum laude from
college ten years before-as, for In

calculus.-Atlantic. {,

HUMANITY'S HUNGERS.
What They Are and the Ages q
which They First Appear.

what They Are and the Ages at
which They First Appear.
Professor Earl Barnes is authority
for the following list Of human hun
gers" and the ages at which they can
first be noticed:
Hunger for food and drink-infancy.
Hunger for action-infancy.
Hunger for nowledge-infancy.
Hunger for companionship - six
weeks.
Hunger for property-two years.
Hunger for self aggrandizement-five
years.
Hunger for beauty-two years.
Hunger for reasoning-seven years.
Hunger for thirteen years.
Hunger for righteousness = fifteen
years.
The natural desire for food and drink
is strongest, said the professor, at
birth. After twenty the appetite
should, IL not misused, become less and
less till at seventy q man or woman
ought to require only one small meal
a day
The ''hunger" for property Is very
strong at about fifteen-the collect
ing age, when boys will amass any
thing, from stamps to beetles. When
all other "hungers" fail the property
hunger" still exists, and man is most
likely to be a miser when he is nearest
his grave.
The hunger for beauty-that is, the
real beauty hunger" which means the
admiration Of art for arts sake-is the
most uncommon Of all.-London Ex-
press.

Rings Mt Weddings.

There is a popular idea that ring
made Of geld is the only one that can
be legally used in wedding ceremony.
That is, however, a fallacy. Any and
every kind of ring may be used, and,
though gold ones are customary, there
is no reason whatever why silver or
any commoner metal should not be
called into requisition. Numerous in
stances are ON record of runaway mar
riages in which a brass ring has play
ed the all important part, and the legal
ity of the ceremony has never been
questioned. In some cases Il piece Of
hurriedly tied string has answered the
same purpose, as have also circles cut
out of card or paper. In not few
weddings where CONSERVATION has
reigned on the discovery that the ring
has been forgotten door key has been
used instead or ashastily severed link
of silver chain. 1t is only required
that ring be used, but Of what nature
it is not tipulated.-London Answers.

There IL Always IA Demand For tn
ExcentfOnnl Man


Progressive employers are always
looking for the exceptional man or
woman, the one who can step out from
the crowd and do things in an original
way. who can economize in processes,
who can facilitate business. They are
always looking for the earmarks Of
leadership. of superior ability. They
are looking for the progressive en-
ployee with new ideas who can help
them to be more of a success. They
know very well that they can get any
number of automatons multitudes
who will do thing just well enough
to keep their places-but they are look
ing for originality, individuality. for
up to date methods. They want en-
ployees who can put things through
with vigor and determination, without
tagging, whining. apologizing or ask
ing questions. Nothing can bar the ad-
vancement of employees of this kind.
Nobody can keep them down. IL by
chance some one above you is actually
trying to prevent your promotion for
selfish reasons, 1t ought TO be very
flattering TO you to know that he is,
trying to. keep you back and should
make you all the more determined to
