Special Correspondence.
The entertainment held at the
Mount Hood hall Friday evening, Jan
uary 26, was pronounced a decided
success by the large audience which
was present. The roads we're bad,
and the night was dark, but all who
possibly could turned out, even from
as far away as the town Of Dee. They
all felt amply repaid for the trip In
the enjoyemnt of the excellent pro-
gram which was rendered. Every
number was good. Especial notice
should be given to the doll drill by
the little girls and boys and the
Eastern Band" The little comedy,
IAN Economical Boomerang, was
very laughable. Mr.. Knox as Mr..
Dabbleton showed quite an experience
in domestic affairs, and the troubles
Of married life should have no terrors

In the part assigned to him.
Mrs. War en- Cooper was excellent
as Mrs. DabbletoB, aid Mr. Monroe
and Miss Mae Cooper made most
adorable newly married couple. Mason
Baldwin as the spruce young doctor
sustained his part well, and Mrs.
Baldwin as Maggie the Irish servant
WIS inimitable. Taken altogether,
the whole cast was most creditable
and gave very entertaining little
play.
The teachers and pupils of the
school feel very grateful to all who
took part in any way and thereby
helped to increase the library fund to
the amount of about s27 worth OF
books
The lunch and candy counters we're
well patronized and seemed much ap-
preciated.
After the entertainment was over a
few hours we're spent in social enjoy
ment, all wishing as they departed
that such affairs would happen often.

SIGNIFICANCE OF MONEY SIGNS.
English Terms Derived from Latin
Words-DoIIar Mark.

Words-Dollar Mark.
They were discussing the other az
ternoon the question of currency SYM
bols. The discussion had started by
some one making a casual remark
about a. S. d." referring, of course,
to pounds, shilllngs and pence says
the Washington Star The question
arose why some of the coins were de.
noted by letters that had nothing at
all to do with their selling, and there
was not one in the crowd, though
there were some nomlnally well-in-
formed people present. who could tell
the significance of the letters till the
question was looked up. 1t appeared
that the pound sterling mark was
simply capital l.. with line drawn
across the stem. 1t came from the
Latin word ''librae," meaning a pound.
The I'd" used for the penny came also
from the Latin, meaning "denarius,
originally small Roman silver coin,
but later having developed into a
generic term for money and specifi-
cally for a small copper coin of in
significant value.
The "lb" mark, also used for the
avoirdupois pound. came from the
same word "librae" as in Saxon
times the pound avoirdupois was the
same weight as pound sterling OF
silver and the shilling was one-twen-
tieth of this, making the old shilling
about three times the size Of the
present one.
When 1t came to the dollar mark,

being half a dozen explanations for
this sign. But the most likely seemed
to be that it was simply a modified
figure 49," there having been eight

Professional GosSips,

In China elderly ladies are regu'
larly employed as gossips. and they
are paid well. 1t is usual for them to
go to the best houses, beating drum
to announce their arrival, and to
offer their services to the lady CT the
house as entertainers. If their offer is
accepted they sit down and tell the
latest news, the choicest scandal and
anything that they think may interest
their hearers. Should their stock in
trade prove very delectable they most
likely go away with handsome pres
ent in addition to their regular fee,
which is at the rate of about rs cents
an hour. Some of these gossips have
a large number of clients, whom they
visit at regular intervals.

REVEAL DICKENS AS A LOVER.
Series of Letters Of the Great Nov
elist Recently Found.


The Tribune, the latest arrival
among Londan daily newspapers.
published for the first time a short
series of letters by Charles Dickens,
to which is rightly ascribed remark
able value. They reveal light on an
episode to which there had formerly
been no clew. 1t is known that,
though Dickens cwn married life con-
cealcd no serious trouble, yet 1t was
not an affair of high romance. These
letters show that while still bound In
matrimony's bonds he was still ca
pable of deep and disinterested pas
sion.
The young girl who was the object
of Dickens sentiment he introduced
to an intimate friend, with the re-
suit that the friend and the girl mar.
ried. The letters written to his friend
indicate Dickens feeling, which was
none the less strong for being ele-
waited under control.
II swear" he writes of letter an
nouncing his friends similar wooers
mission, that when opened and
read your letter this morning, | felt
the blood go from my face to | don't
know where, and my lips turn white"
The Tribune remarks that one OF
this group Of three Is still living.
Though the publication of familiar
names might add interest to the story
CT the letters, rcticent anonymity
seems to be indicated. No letters
could better bear to be Judged on
their own inherent merits. Though
they deal with an attachment of a
second and third person, they them
selves are almost in the nature OF
love letters, the tenderness of which
touch a tone of exhlaration.

OF No Importance.

Two men were standing together on
an East River ferryboat when one
pointed out third man with the re-
mark: -
II can't recall his name at this mo-
ment, but he writes for number Of

His friend looked at the stranger
with much interest.
ooh, one of our frenzied finance
captains, is he?" he asked.
mo, he"
writes up trusts and things,

ooh, then he's prizefighter or an
actor-he is rather husky looking"
"No, no! He's just a plain author
writes stories"
"Oh!" the friend exclaimed, the
look of interest suddenly dying out
of his face.-New York Journal.
