FIFTY Years Without Vacation.

Joseph j. Little, the publisher, ex-
congressman, twice president of the
New York board of education. and
now president of the General Society
of Mechanics and Tradesmen, has
started for his first vacation in half
a century. Except for three years at
the front during the civil war and for
short business trip to Europe, Mr..
Little has never been away from his
work for ten consecutive days. The
holiday on which he now has started
Is planned for two months. Fifty
years ago, when he was 13 years old,
Mr.. Little began three years ap-
premiership at the printing trade.
He received S25 for the first year, $35
for the second and S45 for the third.
which nearly paid for his clothes. He
lived with his employer above the Of
fee of the little country newspaper
office and three years later went to

JAPANESE BANTAMS.
Wonderful Types Into Which They
Are Bred,

Are Bred.
The craze for producing diminutive
fowls has led the fancier outside the
realms of mere reproduction in minia-
ture of the larger types, says Country
Life in America. 1t has resulted in the
actual creation of bantam types which
are individual in character-that
to to say, they do not represent
any larger type. These are called
variety bantams. The ideals in
these cases are purely arbitrary,
and are simply modelled accord
ing to ones ideas of beauty. Each type
is law unto itself The peculiar
characteristics of the different indi-
viduals, or even nations, may thus be
carried into their fancy poultry
Perhaps no more striking illustra-
tion of this idea could be cited than
the Japanese bantams. What we have
come to understand as Japanese art
clear-cut in its color combinations
we see carried out in remarkably char
acteristic style in these birds. They
are strikingly distinct from any other
group. One of the most noticeable
characteristics, giving an immediate
feeling OF quaintness, Is the extreme
shortness of the legs. A first-class
specimen, indeed, should not show any
limb whatever when walking, delu-
sion which is greatly helped by the
profusion of feather with which the
bird is endowed. The tail is very
largely developed, the feathers stand
ing erect as high as the head or
higher and often touching the back of
the neck. The wings are very large,
reaching right down to the ground,
helping materially to convey the idea
of legless bird.

Boise, June THE latest gossip Of
the railroad circles is to the effect

Further talk is that with the con-
struction of the new line there is a
possibility that Butte will be made a
connecting point in new trans-con-
tinental line to be built by the Gould
people. The latter proposition re-
ceives but little credence in Butte,
but the railroad men there think that
the new line is to be Gould line.
The organizers of the company have
fatty stated that their road will con-
meet with the Western Pacific, the

WILL HONOR GREAT CHEMIST.
Discovercr OF Chemical Uses for Coal
Tar, 80 Years Ago.

New York, June THE committee
formed by the Chemists club of this
city to frame plans to commemorate
the semi-centennial anniversary of
the discovery by DR.. william Henry
Perkin. OF the chemical uses of coal
tar has decided in favor of the estab-
lishment OF a library of works on
chemistry, probably to be known as
the Perkin library, and to cost $780,
0o0, the appropriation of $4,000 for a
Perkin medal and a token to DR.. Per-
kin and a dinner on October 6, at
which the distinguished chemist is
expected to be present.
1t is planned that the Chemists
club be made a national institution,
with nonresident members who will
have the uses of the books in the
new library for IS a year. There arc
to be two sets of books. one for local
ton throughout the country. Ten
thousand dollars has already been
promised toward the establishment OF
the library.
DR.. Perkins discovery so years ago
when he produced his first color
mauve, from coal tar, has become an
important factor in chemistry, not
only because Of the anilinr colors
produced, but also on account of the
value of the discovery in synthetic
chemistry. The anniversary will be
celebrated in Germany. where the
successful experiments were frs,
made half century ago. and also In
France, Italy and England. The COM

PORTLAND Is DRIER.
Seventeen Square Miles OF Territory
Added to "Dry' List.

As a result Of the election there
are II more square miles of territory
in Mulnomah county where the sale
of liquor is prohibited, says the Ore
gon Daily Journal. In consequence of
this result the leaders OF the Anti
Saloon league movement are rejoic-
ing, for II means that they have sue
ceeded in carrying nine of II pre-
cincts wherein the question Of wet
or dry came up directly and they
have hopes that the returns from
precincts No. 80 will score victory
for them there.
The efforts OF the Anti-Saloon
league in the campaign preceding the
general election were confined to that
district where is located the greatest
number OF saloons. the Mount Hood
brewery and the Oaks. Failure TO
carry the day rs registered only in
eight of the II precincts where the
question was voted upon. and those
I'm which tR anti-saloon workers
were successful were: Precincts 30,
80, "a, As, 46, Al, AS. so and SO.
TlaJp Saloons Must Close.
There are II saloons located I'm the
district voted upon. and as result OF
the election only three will be forced
TO close-one each I'm precincts "a, Al
and Sc, but the leaders In the anti
saloon fight feel gratifled over even
a. moJlified victory and assert that II
will only spur them on to greater ef-
forts IN future elections. Superinten-
dent Paul RAIDER of the Anti-Saloon
/ league when seen i'm headquarters
this morning said:
I'VE do not mean to brag or crow
over what we have accomplished In

FIRE INSURANCE HIGHER.
Rates Raised I'm Boise City Over ..
Per Cent.

AS predicted some time ago, fire
Insurance rates in Boise have been in
creased 25 per cent, says the Boise
Statesman. The new rates went into
effect here June 1. The risk is no
greater, in fact, it has been lessened
by increased efficiency of the fire de-
partment and by higher pressure of
water being maintained in the mains.
Local conditions do not govern. The
insurance trust desired to levy heavier
tribute on the people of this city.
Tho increase was the work of a soul
less combine, all-powerful in the in
surance field. All that was necessary
was for the members of the board
which controls rates in the northwest
to pass ukase that the rates should
be raised. 1t is high time the people
had some legislation to protect them
from these high handed plunderers. In
South Dakota few years ago 1t was
learned no direct redress could be
gained, but an indirect method was
adopted to get some of the money
back. A heavy tax was levied on all
companies doing business in the state,
and each company was forced to print
n statement, at a cost of S25, in each
judicial district in the state. Idaho

Nevertheless, to reward him, there, not far from
the Circus, he saw sitting patient in bus corner
the sailor-hat the bolero, the Chinese eyes, and
reddish-white hair of Jenny.
The moment she stepped out, two men sprang
forward to address her-David and van Hupfeldt S
valet. Van Hupfeldt lived near the lower portion
of Hanover Square, the way to which being rather
shut in and odd to who does not know it, his
restlessness had become unbearabe when Jenny
little late; he had described her to his valet
whippersnapp named Neil-for Hupfeldt
had several times seen Jenny with Miss L Estrange
and had sent Neil to Piccadilly Circus where he
knew that Jenny would aght, in order to conduct
her to his rooms. However, as Neil moved quickly
forward, David before him, and the valet
thought to himself Hello, this seems to be case
of twos company and threes none"
David was saying to Jenny: You Miss
LEstrange's servant"
" am, answered Jenny
She sent me after you l must speak with you
urgently. Come with me-"
Now, in Jennys head visions of nothing less
than wealth-wealth which she was eager to handle
that very hour. She said therefore to David: Il

it is much too late And there isn't any need. |
will let Jenny go to you early as you like in the
morning, if you give me your address, or you can
come yourself tomorrow.
All don't be hard on met he pleaded. Il
mustn't lose night. Send her down to me, if l
can't go up"
Co on; the poor girls asleep" she answered.
Where's the in carrying on like a loony?
Can't you take it coolly?'
In the end he had to go without seeing Jenny,
having left his card the understanding that she
should be with him not later than ten IN the morn
ing, and that Miss L Estrange should keep his adj
dress inviolable secret.
The moment he was gone from her, Ermyn L Es-
TRANCE darted UP the stairs to catch something,
and, entering her fat tripped into her bedroom,
turned the light, threw off her cloak and put
the necklace before her mirror 1t fine affair,
and no mistake, all lights and coors playing bo-
peep in the stones. She made curtsy to her i'm
age inspected herself every side, stepping this
way and that, daintily, like peacock, keenly enjoy
ing the gift, till the novelty of possessing it
gone stale. But at time did she feel any graf
tude to the giver, or think of him at all in con
nectiOn with it just the fact of having it occupied
her mind, it didn't matter whence.
And the mere knowledge that it valuable
proved it TO be a bride, pointed to weakness in
the gver. Some gifts to women, especially spen-
did ones, produce not only gratitude, but
nifty. Perhaps there is feeling of Il ought to be
grateful but being too happy to be grateful, they
are bored with sense OF fault, and for this they
punish the giver with the opposite of gratitude.
AT all events, by the time Miss L Estrange had
taken off the string of gems, a memory had grown
up within her of David Harcourt and with it
a mild feeling of partnership and liking for David
against Strauss. 1t hayward machine,
that she-heart under the bodice of Miss Ernyn
L'Estrange hayward without motive, subtle with
out thought, treacherous for treachery's sake. As
a matter of fact before waking Jenny, it came into
her head to give a friendly tip to David on the
ground that he not bad sort and she
tualy went out of her way to send him postcard,
telling him that she had expected him to call on
Jenny that day, and that, If he meant business he

But stop-how long is it since she has gomez"
Not three minutes. It's just possible that YOU

How can that be? l shouldn't know her I have
never seen her. We may have passed each other
in the street.
Listen. She is small, slim girl with nearly
white hair and little Chinese eyes. She has a
blue serge skirt with my qlde astrakhan boero and
a sailor hat. Now you can't miss her"
But which way? Where does Strauss live?"
l promised not to tell, and I'm always as good
my word" cried the reliable Miss Ermyn
L Estrange; but between you and me, it's not
thousand miles from Piccadly Circus; and that is
where Jenny will get down off her bus; if you
take a cab
Excellent! Good-byl See you againl" said
David.
David was gone in heat of action He took no
cab, however but took to his heels that he might
be able to spy at the occupants within and on the
top of each bus on the line of route by running a
little faster than the vehicles At this hour London
already out of doors, going shopping, going
to office and works. 1t bright morning, like
the beginning of spring. People turned their heads
to look at the who ran faster than the horses,
and pried into the buses. Victoria, Whitehall,
Charing Cross he passed-still he could see no
one just like Jenny. He began to lose hope, find
ing, moreover, that running in London was not like
running in Wyoming, or like his run from
Bucks. Here the air seemed to lack body and wine.
1t did not repay the lungs effort nor give back
all that expended; that in going up the steep
of Lower Regent-st. he began to breathe short.
