Rev. Mr.. Long says that Roosevelt's
article. both in diction and idea, was
purioined from the following poem.
entitled 'Hypatia":
An elk looked out OF the pine forest;
he shifted up east and he shifted down west
Stealthy and still.

The bow IT ratified: the arrow few;
It smote his blade bones through and through
And warmed my hands In the smoking blood
Hurrahi
DR.. Longs parents were Irish, and to
the Irish blood in him is attributed his
fighting qualities, and although he is
not an aggressive man, yet, when put
to it. he can turn on those who howl
on his trail and strike right out from
the shoulder. Ordinarily, however, he
is mild hammered.
stituting an animated advertisement Of
the states resources and opportunities,
spent several days in New York this
week. Their ideas of New York may
be epitonized thus: The women are
badly dressed: the men are pale, un-
dersiZed and selfish. Here are some
sample expressions:
"I have been surprised at the pale.
undersized men in New York and the
white compilations of the women. Yes
terday when riding in q crowded car
the men blew smoke in my face, some
thing the men OF the west would not
think of doing. / was much impressed
with Central park and Riverside
drive. They seemed more like home
than anything we had seen. tsew York
Is very much as we expected to find It,,
especially the poorer districts. Such
poor are unknown in our state To me
the immense population seems wonder
ful In our ride this morning some OF
the streets seemed but masses OF hu-
manity, something we do not see at
home except on circus days"
What impresses me most Is the
complex railroad system and the high
buildings. If high buildings bred high
thoughts and ideals New Workers
would be morally perfect have been
struck by the number OF large women
and small men.
New York impresses me with It's i'm
mensity, its rush, hurry and the siren
business of life in general; in word,
think you have no, time to nve-you
only exist"
.sThe women of New York have very
up, not natural like the cheeks that
come from our own dear Oregon. In
the subway people do not show that
they ever had any raising and have
never been taught manners as people
are In the west Instead of having
wide and beautiful streets your streets
are narrow and dirty, nothing like we
have in Oregon When reached mere
had my neck stretched at pretty
good length that I might see the tops
of the tall buildings. But / was dis

Wilson Miner, having at last been
divorced by his rich wife. has completed
his new play, entitled "A Loyal Decep-
ton" which, 1T Is believed, will have
reference in some way to his recent
matrimonial venture. He has been
writing the play since the court granted
Mrs. Yerxes her freedom three weeks
ago. "a Loyal Deception" will be first
tried on an Asbury Park audience. If
they can stand three performances 1t
will be presented In New York
Mizner wrote the sketch In collabora-
ton with Edwin Westby, who, in addi-
ton to being an author for vaudeville
purposes, claims cousinship with Lord
Dunraven and the duchess OF Strozzi,
who lives In Florence
The leading parts in the new sketch
will be played by Miss Lillian Ian
caster and Wilson Melrose. The lat
ter was leading man of the Keith and
Proctor stock company in the Fifth
Avenue theater and is an actor Of ex-
perience. The others in the little COM
pany will be Walter Slater and Frank
Gherr.
A large party OF the authors friends
will attend the first performances. and
a considerable number of vaudeville
managers also will be present.
Still another Californian has achieved
distinction abroad. this is Miss Maud
Allen, who is regarded in Paris as
"a marvellous dancer" She was born
in Toronto, but spent her girlhood in
California, and SO considers herself a
Californian
She will sail for New York on Oc-
tober 20 and will make tour Of the
United States. Miss Allen has given a
new sensation to jaded Paris. but she
fears that in New York there are not
enough people who would appreciate
the beauty of her work. The general
run might object to seeing q woman
running about the stage In bare feet
Maud Aliens idea Is that by means
of the movements of her form and tho
expression of her face she can convey
across the footlights the sequence and
the emotions of dramatic incidents. She
appears on the stage without tights.
Her body is covered with light orien-
tai garment. studded with precious
stones. Her figure. symmetrical as
Canova's Venus. gives no suggestion Of
athletic overdevelopment, but rather OF
the perfect proportions which ut the
Greek idea. Her bare feet are not too
small. but are beautifully modelled.
Still, It is bound to excite hostile
criticism. both from dancers OF the old
school and from the prudish public,
which will cry out against an exhibi-
tion OF nudity even II It be a mere
matter of baroness OF legs below the
knee. 1t is for that reason that Maud
Allen will delay her return to America
She wishes to convince Europe first.
Then. with the hallmark OF approval Of
artistic centers. she win sail for
Gotham.
