E%SN turn TO Boston ne SAID NY
GSsV&5 mother and, in fact, all 10y
people seem to think so much more OF
me since have set about fitting my
self for a profession Father says he
is growing proud Of me, and that
pleases me best Of all, for he is and
always has been my best friend. Of
course I think the world Of Blanch.
and she seems to think I am the best
fellow in the world. Little do any Of
them Enow that it is you for whom l
am working, and always With the hope
that you will deem me worthy OF the
prize. How many times recall every
moment of that one short hour on the
old mill pond and all that made 1t
sacred to me no one can tell. I go out
little except to escort mother and the
girls to the theater once in awhile, and
so anxious am I to be able to pass an
examination I often go to the Office
and read law till midnight"
When this effusion reached alice the
mountains around Sandgate were just
putting on their autumn glory of col
or. and that night when she sat on the
porch and heard the katydids In the
fast thinning foliage Of the elms she
had what she called an old fashioned
fit Of the blues And how lonely 1t
was there too!
Aunt Susan, never q talkattve per
son, sat close, but as dumb as craven
image; no house near and only the
twinkIing lights Of several on the other
side Of the valley were visible. On
knoll just below them she knew were
few score Of white headstones, among
them her mothers, and when there
was a moon she could see them plain
ly. 1t is during the lonely hours Of our
lives that we see ourselves best, and
this quiet evening-no more quiet than
many others perhaps, but seemingly so
to Altce-she saw herself and her pos
sible future as it seemed to be. Every
word Of her lovers letter had beeI an
emissary Of both joy and soTow-Joy
that he was so devoted to her and sor-
row because she felt that an tmpassa-
BILE barrier separated them. He will
forget me in a few months" she said
to herself, land by the time he has
Won his coveted law degree his schem-
Ing mother will have some eligible girl
all ready for him to fall in love with.
AS for me, she Will never have the
chance to frown at me, for even II
Blanch begs, would never set foot in
her house" When her feelings had
carried her up to this point she arose
and, going into the parlor, began play
Ing. Her piano was the best and about
the only companion she had and quick
ly responded to her moods. And now
what did it tell? She played, but every
chord was a minor one, full Of the
pathos OF tears and sorrow. She sang,
but every song that came to her lips
carried the same refrain and told only
oe hungry hearts and unanswered love.
And last, and worst Of all, almost in
sensibly her fingers strayed to the
chords Of one well remembered song.

Danton, the celebrated caricaturtst,
had a wonderful power Of modelling
from memory. After one long look at
his subject he could 80 to his studio
and make a bust quite perfect in its
resemblance.
One day young man came to him,
saying that bis sister was i'll and about
to die and that, although the family
wished her bust modelled, they dared
not excite her by mentioning Il.
Would be undertake to reproduce her
features after seeing her once! Dan
ton agreed, and next day the brother
informed his sister that be intended
10 present her with some jewels and
that young man would bring some
specimens for her approval.
Danton brought in the Jewels and,
going home, modelled bust Of strik-
ing resemblance. Next yeaG an old
gentleman, the father Of the young
woman, came to order bust Of the
brother, who also had died. This, too,
was q marvellous success.
The result Of such planning, how
ever, was not always as satisfactory
to his patrons as In these cases. A
gentleman WHO could not persuade his
wife to sit asked Danton to enter q
certain omnibus one day and TX 10 MS
memory the features Of the lady op-
posite him.
He did so, modelled q beautiful! bust
and sent 1t home. It proved, however,
to be not the mistress, but the maid,
who had also taken the trip in the
omnibus.

Strength of Insects and Anlmals.

A series Of experiments made to test
the Jaw force and pulling and lifting
strength Of various kinds Of insects
gives some curious points for study. 1t
has been found that cockchafer can
draw fourteen times his own weight
and the common honeybee thirty
times. From this it may be argued
that, weight for weight, each Of the
above named insects IS twenty-one
and thirty times respectively stronger
than the horse, whose strength, as g
rule, Is taxed to its utmost IN drawing
its own weight as a dead load" A
scientist once experimental with a
small hard shelled beetle by putting
him under common table tunbler.
The little creature, not more than one
third Of an inch in length, was able to
move the glass In any direction. After
the experiment had been satisfactorily
made both the tumbler and the bug
were weighed, whereupon it was found
that the little Hercules had lifted $50
times its own weight. BE did not car
ry the weight, Of course, but caused 1t
to make some lively motions.

SALEM
Given an Early Morning
Lunch and Shown the
Capital City

Ten carloads Of the delegates Of the
American Editorial Association stopped
at Salem this morning for an hour and
half, and were shown the courtesies
Of the season and some Of the sights
and hospitalities of the city. There was
large delegation Of Salem people in
attendance, with carriages and autos,
and in person to welcome the visitors.
There were bouquets and cherries for
tho ladies, coffee and sandwiches for the
whole procession that filed past the i'm
provised refreshment tables, and plenty
of jollity and good will on the part Of
the hosts, which comprised all the en-
terprising and wide-awake people who
could get away at such an early hour.
The executive committee of the Com
mercial Club had charge Of the enter
tainment, and, for a performance got.
ten up on half an hours notice, it was
n record.breaker. George Bros, as ca
terers, surpassed all previous records,
and their coffee and sandwiches were
pronounced delicious.
There was an especial delegation Of
Iowa people, who have become Oregon
ians, and they hunted up all the Iowa
editors and their ladies, and showered
them with especial baskets Of cherries
There were exactly $40 one-pound sacks
Of cherries for the $40 guests. Mayor
Waters, John II. Albert, II. b. Thielsen,
Hal d. Patton and f. Hofer, Of the
Commercial Club executive committee,
distributed literature among the visi-
tors, and number Of Salem merchants
and business men and bankers were on
the ground with vehicles, smiles and
information for the visitors. They were
escorted to the state house and present.

lighted with the reception, and said it
was tho most cordial greeting they had
received anywhere. As the visitors were
all the way from Maine to Louisiana,
and from Minnesota to Texas, IL was
certainly a good way TO mako wide
advertisement Of this community.

Tired
Nervous

When you feel languid, tired,
nervous and irritable, your vi
tality is low--your supply OF
nerve energy exhausted, and
your system running down for
lack of power,
The organs of the body are
working poorly, or not at all,
and you are not getting the
nourishment needed. This soon
impoverishes the blood and in
stead of throwing off the inn
purities, distributes it all
through the body. This brings
disease and misery.
Feed the nerves with DIR.
Miles Nervine, a nerve food,
nerve medicine, that nourishes
and strengthens the nerves, and
see how quickly you will get
strong and vigorous.
my wife suffered with nervousness
previous to recent attack Of typhoid
fever, but after her recovery from the
fever, she was much worse, and could
hardly control herself being exceed
lngly nervous when the least excited.
She was very restless at night, and
never had a good nights rest. She
also suffered much from nervous head
ache. DIR. Miles Nervine was recon-
mended by a friend. After the first
three doses she had a good nights
rest, and at the end OF the first weeks
treatment she was wonderfully Inn
proved. Continued use Of Nervlno has
completed her entire cure"

COIN DIES DESTROYED.
A Standard United States Die Has a
Long Life.

Al the end Of each calendar year
the three mints controlled by the treas
ury department destroy the dies The
old custom Of defacing the dies by inn
printing a cross with a chisel and
sledge hammer and distributing the
junk as souvenirs of the mint, have
been superseded by grinding the en-
cravings into pulp ON an emery wheel.
This change has been made necessary
by the discovery that the eross'mark
on old dies had been deftly filed in
and smoothed over, making them al
most as good as new, and permitting
the willy counterfeiter TO circulate
homo made dollars at a discount to the
public.
The WORT designing the dies used
by the government is conducted at the
Philadelphia mint, the experts employed
receiving high wages. The manner
Of tempering the steel used for the
dies is important, and fine blue color
is required, A standard United States
die should make from $4,000 to 100000
impressions before rehardening becomes
necessary, one at the San Francisco
mint having made 100000 impressions.
In Great Britain the average number
of coins struck by die is less than
10000, and runs as low as 1900, indi-
eating the superiority of the American
mint.
