vacation if ever an executive has. and
while there is not the urgent need of
it that there would be in the case of
a man who was not about as delicate
and fragile as grizzly bear. Mr.
Roosevelt himself will welcome the
change and the chance to get once
more to out of door life and to work
off some of the flesh that has aceum-
ulated during the winter in Washing
ton in spite of his constant tennis
playing, walking and horseback
riding. There will be an effort to
keep just as much work from him as
possible while he is at Sycamore hill
But there is a certain amount of rout-
Inc and special work that the presi-
dent has to do even in summer, and
the modest little executive office at
Oyster Bay has been all fixed up in
readiness for his coming, and will IN
all probability see a considerable
amount both of personal and public
work done before the summer is over.

Whose Say=so is Best =?

With nearly all medicines put I'D for
sale through druggists, one has to take
the makers say-So alone as to their curl
tive value. OF course, such testimony is
not that OF dislntereSted party and
accordingly IS not to be given the same
credit as if written from disinterested
motives. DR.. Pierce's medicines. how
ever, form a single and therefore striking
exception to this rule. Their claims to
the confidence of invalids does not rest
solely upon their makers say so or
praise. Their ingredients are matters of
separate bottle wrapper. Thus invalid
sufferers are taken into DR.. Pierce's full
confidence. Scores of leading medical
men have written enough to fill volumes
in praise of the curative value of the
several ingredients entering into these
well-known medicines.
Amongst these writer's we find such med
ical lights as Prof. Finley Ellngwood NJ. D.,
Of Bennett Medical College, Chicago; Prof
Hal Hale, Of the same CITY; Prof. John NJ. Scud-
John King, NJ. D.. late Of Cincinnati, Ohio;
DR.. Grover Coe. of New York; Dr. Bartho-
low, of jefferson Medical College, of Pa,
and scores of others equally eminent.

sus, anteversion and retroverSion and correctS

Hatching Eggs In the Mouth

Some curious examples of the egg
laying habits of certain frogs are re-

one species. Il species which was re-
Gently exhibited at meeting of the
Geological society, carries the eggs
about in her mouth until they are
hatched. When the young emerge they
are tadpOles, but fully formed, though,
of course, diminutive frogs. An Amer
lean tree frog, again, has a pouch
along the whole extent of its back, in
which the eggs are carried until hatch

this curious habit. The case OF the

MICHAEL ANGELO.
The humble Start In Life of the Fa-
nous Master.


nous Master.
Two boys were herding swine in
Italy. They were evidently discussing
some very important subject, for they
were earnest at it, 4 man approach
ed, and tie boys separated, each for
his own side of the pasture. The man
was angry and was shaking bis hand
at them. The boys said nothing: they
drove their swine in and were quiet as
mouse about it. The man had said
they should stay out until dark, and
the sun had not even set yet. After
they had driven the swine to their re-
spective places each crept to his room,
took his clothes and tied them In a
bundle, This done, they both crept
down and ran to the road which led
to Rome. Ones name was Peter; the
other Michael Angelo. Both were Door
boys. They tramped and tramped, and
the first thing they did when they
reached Rome was to so to church.
After they had rested and prayed they
looked for employment. Peter received
employment as the cooks boy in some
cardinals house, but Michael could
find nothing to do, so he almost de-
SPARED.
He went to his friend Peter, who
gave him something to eat AID at
night secretly let him into his room In
the attic to sleep, This went on for a
long time, Peter content to let his
friend do this and Michael content
also. Michael when in church had seen
some fine pictures One which fasci-
mated him was "Christ Ascending to
Heaven" Taking bits of charcoal. he
went to Peters room and drew pic
lures on the white walls. One day the
cardinal had occasion to go to the
room. Michael had meanwhile secured
employment in the cardinals kitchen.
The cardinal, upon seeing all the pic
lures, was dumfounded with their
accurateness. He called Peter and
Michael upstairs and asked who had
drawn them. Michael confessed he
had, but said he thought he could rub
them out again. The cardinal EXPLAIN
ed to him that it was all right so far
as the wall was concerned. He took
Michael and sent him to a drawing
master and gave Peter a better posi-
tiOn. And Michael worked hard at his
drawings, learned diligently and be-
came the renowned Michael Angelo,
one of the greatest painters of his
time

Where Four States Meet.

The United States is the only
country in the world that has "four
corners, that is to say, a place
where four states meet. Look at
your atlas, says the Chicago News,
and you will see Colorado, Utah,
New. Mexico and Arizona touching
each other. At no other place on the
globe do four states, territories or
provinces unite to form such juno
tion. The spot is on spur OF the
Carlo mountains, and few tourists
visit it, partly because it is not easily
accessible and partly because COM
paratively few people think about it,.
A monument marks it, however,
erected by the government surveyors.
The point is reached by trail lead
ing from the road from the Navajo
springs in Colorado, in the Ute
reservation, to the San Juan river.

Claimed By Death.

At the family home several
miles southwest of Corvallis J.
P. McBee died Friday night,
from the rupture of a blood ves-
sci in the head.
A week ago Sunday morning
Mr.. McBee was in Corvallis for
the purpose of consulting physi-
clan. On his way to the Doctors
Office he suddenly fell on the
street, but managed to arise and
proceeded to the Office. An ex-
animation showed that Mr.. Nc
Bee had suffered a slight stroke
of paralysis aud he was taken
home. Tuesday two local physi-
clans were hurriedly summoned
by phone and Mr.. McBee was
found to be helpless from Sec
oud and more severe stroke.
He was unconscious for about
two days before death came to re-
lieve him.
"Doc" McBee, as deceased was
familiary called, was born in Mis-
souri, in IS47, and came to Ben
ton county when young boy.
He was one os the best known and
wealthiest farmers OF the county,
and had just fairly started to en-
JOY life, having built handsome
new residence last fall and sur
rounded himself and family with
every comfort.
The funeral occurred from the
family home at two o'clock Sun
day, and interment was in New.
ton cemetery.
The immediate survivors are
the widow and four children.

In SALT LAKE PAPER.
Account of Oregonian Contest
Party's Visit to Utah.

Last Mondays issue of the
"Deseret Evening News" pub
lished in Salt Lake City, in tell
ing of the visit of the Oregonian
contest party, of which Miss
Agnes Wilson of Corvallis is a
member, has the following to
say: ...
Yesterday they had reserved
seats at the regular tabernacle
services where they listened to
discourse by Elder c. w. Pen
rose. Following the services
they were rendered a musical
recital by Asst. Organist Edward
Kimball, assisted by Emma
Ramsey Morris, and in the even
ing visited the Holmes art gal
lery.
Today it was a case of 'Wake
and call me early" for the crowd
was out sightseeing with the
dawn. This morning they did
all there was to do in the way Of
a speedy ''seeing Salt Lake" trip
in automobiles and cars, and at
noon repaired to the Commercial
club for luncheon. The club
was the host on this occasion,
and there were present several
prominent guests, besides the
party.
To welcome them to Salt Lake
and Utah a committee went to
Ogden yesterday. It was COM
posed of Gov. Cutler, Adjt. Gen.
Ray c. Naylor, N. P. Nelson,
private secretary of the governor,
Fisher Harris and ]. c. Nc
Donald. After the Tabernacle
recital Gov. Cutler thanked the
organist and Mrs. Morris on
behalf of the visitors for the
courtesies shown them.
This afternoon following the
luncheon the party went out to
Saltair, from winch they plan to
return in time to catch their
train out on schedule time, at s
O'Clock tonight.

The SECOND TRAGEDY.
In Mitchell Family-Esther Shoots
Brother at Seattle.

"Esther shot and killed George
in depot this afternoon-L. T.
Sandell. "
Such was the dispatch sent
from Seattle at S o'clodk Thurs
day night to o. V. Hurt, that
shocked Corvallis and sent a
shiver of horror over all who
listened to the direful news.
Liberated from prison only two
brief days, after standing all the
agony of suspense incident to a
trial for murder in the first degree,
George Mitchell was shot down
in cold blood by the sister whom
he desired to protect.
o. V. Hurt, the man who has
perhaps suffered most from the
unholy teachings and influences
of the late Holy Roller Crefield,
was nearly over come by the
horrible news contained in San
dell's telegram. Mr.. Hurt stated
that he had known, when in
Seattle, that the two women,
Esther Mitchell and Maud Hurt
Crefield, were carrying loaded
revolvers and they told Mr.. Hurt
at that time that Mitchell had
better leave them alone. Mr..
Hurt warned George Mitchell
of danger and advised him not
to modest the two fanatics, but to
leave Seattle as soon as possible
and avoid the possibility of fur
ther danger. That Mitchell
would have been wise in follow.
ing this advice is proven in the
recent tragedy.
Mr.. Hurt states that during
the Mitchell trial, in Seattle,
Maud Crefield and Esther Nit
chel declared that they would
willingly walk to Walla Walla
to see George Mitchell hung:
With such cold-blooded, mer-
ciless natures, and with minds
completely dominated by Cref.
feldism, to the apparent efface'
ment of all womanly feelings,
it is little wonder that George
Mitchell was shot like a dog by
sister who, all along, has shown
no appreciation of his love to-
her.
Whether Creheld's influence
and Holy Rollerism will enc
even now, is a matter seriously
doubted by the majority of Cor
wallis people familiar with the
history of the cult.
