The senior officer on the retired list of the French army has just celebrated his one hundredth birthday. This vet eran is Major Desmarets, whose mili- tary experiences began as long ago as 1915. He was in Huningue when the Austrians besieged it, and his father was one of the defenders who marched out with the honor of war, as is shown in the famous picture by M. Detaille. The principal scenes of his own ser- vices were Algeria, the Crimea and It. ally. In 1870 he volunteered again, and. being rejected as being too old at six ty-fve for the regulars, went through the campaign as a franc-tireur and got a lance wound from an Uhlan. He had previously nearly met his death in the assault on the Malakoff, where he lay for four-and-twenty hours buried be- heath the debris caused by the explo- sion of a mine.

Motor cycles for capturing offending automobiles are the newest equipment of the Chicago park police. Horses have proved inadequate to the task, as the automobile found to be violating the speed limit could always outrace the policeman, and the offenders-men and Women-would often wave their handkerchiefs in derision at the dis tanced horseman in pursuit. Now the race is one between motor cycles and the automobile, the results are differ. ent Exciting contests may often be witnessed in the Chicago parks. While the automobile is generally the speed fer, the motor cycle has the advantage in it's superior mobility When two or three of the little puffing machines start after big tourist or racing car they dart through the narrow cut-offs, over the lawns and across corners, and the automobile soon finds itself headed off Numerous captures have been made as a result of the innovation.

Sir Walter Parratt, master of the Kings musick' at the British court, is sixty-four years old and was a notable
 musician even in childhood. At the age of ten he could play from memory all of Bach's "Forty eight" and the following year was receiving $50 a year as organist at a church near Hudders- field where he was born. Sir Walter was a great favorite with Queen Vie- toria, who knighted him in 1892. He is an excellent chess player, and on one. occasion won a game against two play CTS without once looking at the board, remaining at the piano and playing compositions of Beethoven, Mozart and Bach during the whole time the game lasted.

Missouri paper says that new judge arose to charge the jury, and spoke as follows: Gentlemen of the jury. charging jury is a new busi- ness to me, as this is my first case. You have heard all the evidence, as we'll as myself. You have heard what the learned counsel have said. If you be- lieve what the counsel for the plaintiff have told you, your verdict would b for the plaintiff; but if, on the other hand, you believe what the defendants counsel has told you, then you will find verdict for the defendant; but if you were like me, and don't believe what either of them said, then I'll be d-d if I know what you'll do.

BY HIS SISTER.
Haroun Prosecuted on Criminal Charge
at Eugene Former Philomath
Man.

e.
A heap of trouble has befallen
F. S. Haroun, the former Philomath
business college man, now at Eu-
gene. At last accounts he was in
jail, confronted by a criminal
charge. His wife was suing him
for divorce, and he-is held to the
circuit court to convene in June,
to answer a charge of obtaining
money on false pretenses. The
criminal charge was lodged against
Haroun by his own sister. Par
ticu1ars of Haroun's troubles are
thus detailed by the Eugene Guard:
"The examination Of F. S. Ha-
roun, charged with obtaining mon
ley under false pretenses from his
sister, Mrs. Lottie Stewart, which
was begun before Judge Winter
meier yesterday afternoon was post
poned until this afternoon in order
to give time to secure an import
ant witness.
Haroun spent last night in the
county Jail. Two of his lodge
brethren L. N. Roney and w. Wad-
dell last evening volunteered to
furnish the necessary $3.50 bail re-
quired to insure his appearance
this morning, but about nine o clock
last night they withdrew their
names from the bond. Constable
Jack Smith was then instructed to
hunt up the erring professor, and
he was found at the Hazelwood res
taurant When he was told that
he would be compelled to go to Jail,
Haroun was naturally chagrined.
but went with the constable with
out protest. He was locked up in
a cell where he spent the night.
| Haroun's sister, Mrs. Lottie
Stewart. declares she will leave no
stone unturned to convict him. On
the other hand, Haroun's attorneys
L. Bilyeu and c. M. Kissinger will
put forth their best efforts to clear
him.
The business college of which
Haroun is proprietor, has almost
suspended operations since his ar
rest. Yesterday afternoon the stud,
ents were restless and is said that
no order could be maintained by
Miss Maud Decker who had charge
| of the classes. Last evening near
| 1y every student took his books
home, and this morning it is said,
only a handful out of the fifty OF
sixty students appeared for work,
4 Judge Wintermeier took the case
under advisement.

About Alfalfa.

Ed. TIMES
| have lately come to the conclu-
sion that alfalfa can be grown sue
cessfully on this Western Coast. I
believe 1t will grow most here
in this valley or mountAius, where
it does not overflow or water does
not tand, and where there is six
feet OF soil, providing it is put in
rig t. with ground put in proper
co.t.ltion and tnoculated to the al
fal bacteria and land plaster use,
an not pastured the fret year, but
ke.,t moved at the proper time. I
SOW 4 two acres the 26th day of
I'M 1904, and after all the unu-
sus. dry year it did splendidly and
at is writing in places it is Is
inenss high, and growing very rap.
idly. If there is any one that has
the opinion that alfalfa will not
grow in this valley I would like to
show him this two acres, Gown on
a side hill and on clay point Of
red soil. I put it on one of the poor
est spots on the farm with the idea
that if it grew there, it would do
1 most anywhere. Some was sown
on lumpy ground, some on smooth,
we'll pulverized ground, some was
lmanured and some not, some with
land plaster, some without, some
sown with other grain. ALI this
was to test how it would do the
4 best. Ny intentions are to put hall
/ of nay plow land in alfalfa in the
near future and shut off half of this
blowing, My opinion is this val.
ley will again be stock country
when every person has from 40 to
| 100 acres of alfalfa tor hay and pas
ture. This country will soon be
thickly settled and land as valua.
BILE as it is in the East, after East.
ern people find out what an even
climate this is, and how the soil
will produce good crops of alfalfa
and vetch and clover.
4 Then there will be more profit in
raising cattle and hogs, and much
less plowing. less work and more
profit. It seems to me there is 9
bright future for Oregon and that il
Is not for off. Any one wishing te
try raising alfalfa, I have the seed
flor sale and with every order full
| directions how to prepare the
ground, how and when to SOW. and
| to care for it the first year. I have
the tests to show what 1t will dc
under different circumstances, OF
| the clay side hill. I would like *
hear from others regarding Their
experience with alfalfa.
