A Story Of Tom Watson.

Before Thomas e. Watson attained
to his present confidence while address
ing audiences he had several misad-
ventures on the platform. On one &C.
casion he was speaking to mixed
crowd not far from his home and was
blazing away in good style when a
singularly beautiful young woman en-
tered the hall. The orator, impressed
with the girls loneliness, lost the
thread Of his discourse, hesitated and
finally stopped. The audience. not I'M
derstanding his embarrassment, en-
couraged him with cries Of "Go on"
but Watson knew he could not respond
with good effect. His quick wit came
to his rescue, however. Stepping to
the front Of the platform, he said in q
low voice, Ladies and gentlemen,
should be glad to continue, but the lady
who has Just come In fairly took my
breath away" Then he sat down amid
q hearty round Of applause.

Can you tell me why it is that In
nearly every town of any size you are
sure to find Pearl street? There Is
reason in plenty for Main street, State.
Front, River. Water, Church, Chapel,
High, etc. but this so often repeated
Pearl street is too much for me. If
it were only here and there it might
pass for coincidence. but it is SO gen.
eral that l am inclined to think there
must be some reason for it, though for
the life Of me I can't imagine what
the reason may be. Though it may
seem queer to you, have special
ground for wondering about this thing.
am not jealous Of the man or woman
or thing that may be the cause Of it
all, but whoever or whatever he, she
or it may be l am anxious to find out.

 MT Atchison and Mir Hitchcox were present representing Mill Plain dis trlct, to obtain ideas and informat ton for the formation of an improvement society in Mill Plain district. MT Atchison spoke as being in favor of consolidation of the ten outside dis tricts, it being his idea that they would in a great measure check vicious legis- lation now going on, such as proposed by the superintendent of schools when even the president does not enjoy the same privilege.
 Mir Rasmussen brought up the ques- tlon of trying to get the proposed Mid dlebury trolley to come over Highland avenue, and thought if an inducement would be offered the trolley companies would bring the trolley through this district to the school house.
 Attorney James Lawlor backed up MT Rasmausen vigorously Alderman Callan was present and spoke to the meeting. He was thanked for his presence and for his help given in a former petition.
 The meeting adjourned at 10 o'clock

The pride of every housekeeper is her table service, and nothing adds so much to her pleasure as the ability to place on her table few pieces of cut glass; but cut glass is a luxury in which the majority of housekeepers cannot indulge. This fact has encour- aged manufacturers to search for a substitute and they have found it in Pres-Cut which is made heavy and in cut glass patterns. The process used not only strengthens the ware but gives it the brilliancy of the genuine cut. and this lustre will last as long as the article itself. We have an as sortment of this ware and the price is no more than the same styles made in common glass. Come and examine it.

Kuropatkins defeats in the far east, the famines, the strikes and the massa- cres in Russia are all due to an "in- tellectual microbe" which germinates in the brain and causes people to be- come dissatisfied. He insists that schools should be discountenanced as breeding places of these noxious mil crobes, spreading discontent against things as they are.
