all of its characters are absolutely
modern, and with the exception of
three all easterners, all the scenes of
the play take place in Mexico.

three seasons appeared so successful

The new college girl play cupid at
Vassar,' the first and original play of
the kind ever written, in which Miss
Florence Gear, whom Mr.. Murry feat
ured last season in "The Marriage of
Kitty" will appear supported by a
company of 2S, is what is now most
popularly known as a musical COM
edy drama, that is, play with music.
The music and words for Cupid at
Vassar" have been written by A. Bald
win Sloane and George Totten Smith,
famous throughout the country as the
composers and librettists of "The
Gingerbread Man" Comm Through
the Rye and other of the most re-
cent successful musical comedies.
"At Yale" the big boy college play
| success of the past season, will again
| be presented the coming season by
two different companies, both thor
oughly equipped and of equal strength
but booked in different territories
thus enabling Mr.. Murry to present
this play in every city, large or small
| throughout the country.
All these plays will require and re-
ceive complete productions, scenically
and in every other respect. The casts
are now being completed and frs
rehearsals will begin the middle o.
July.

MISTAKEN OCCUPATIONS.
Do Not Continue In a Pursuit For
Which You Arc Not Fitted.

Do Not Continue In a Pursuit For
Which You Arc Not Fitted.
There Is, In these alert days Of COM
petition, OF quick opening and closing
OF places where bread may be earned
and a path In which to 60 forward
secured, no time for doing anything
that one can't or that is of no moment
when accomplished. Know for GER
tainty that never half the harm has
come from firm and dlgnifed refusal
to enter upon or to continue In a pur-
suit not fitted to one as from engaging
In such pursuits. What loss the world
would have sustained had Handel con-
sented to become lawyer, Turner to
remain a barber, Claude Lorraine a
pastry cook, Schiller a surgeon, Pascal
teacher of dead languages, as was
intended by relatives. But, great as
would have been the loss to the world,
the loss to these men themselves would
have been far greater.
Doubtless thousands of crimes which
have ruined an incalculable number of
lives could be traced to mistaken occu-
pations. Joy and delight in ones work
mean progress, and progress and its
result and satisfaction mean a nobler
life than stagnatlon and partial or en-
tire failure could fashion. Doing the
thing one can is working for morality
and toward perfection on all the
planes of life, physical, mental, spir'
itual.-Lida A. Churchill In the Define.

ENLARGE HOTEL OREGON.
Half Million Dollars to be Expended
on Portland Hosiery.

In addition to the 10-story annex
to the oregon hotel to be erected by
Mrs. Margaret S. Ainsworth, an
nouncement of which was made some
weeks ago in the Journal, arrange
ments have been concluded to build
another 10-story addition to this hos
telry which will occupy the lot i'm
mediately north of the present build
ing, says the Oregon Daily Journal.
The double improvement will cost ap-
proximately 100000, and will take
about IS months to complete.
The present plan is to erect the
Ainsworth annex, facing Park street,
Immediately, and when 1t is COM
pleted to begin the construction OF
the second annex, facing Seventh
street.
The Ainsworth annex will increase
the capacity of the hotel by 15O
rooms and rs private baths. The
building will be equipped with its
own water pumping station, electric
light and power plants, complete sys-
tenn of refrigeration and a compress
ed air cleaning plant. 1t will also
be equipped with a ventilating sys-
tenn that will permit the introduc-
ton of fresh filtered air throughout
the entire structure every Is min
utes.
The new grill, which will occupy
the entire space beneath the main
floor Of the present hotel, will seat
700 people, and will be the largest
grill on the Pacific coast.
When the second annex is complet-
ed the Oregon will have 400 guest
rooms, one-half of which will con-
tain private baths.

Garfield Not Coming.

The proposed excursion on the CO.
lumbia river, from Pasco down, has
been called off by the Pasco Com
mercial club, according to letter re-
ceived today by Secretary A. C.
Moore of the local club, says the Wal
la Walla Bulletin. The reasons given
are that Secretary Of the Interior
James Il. Garfield will be unable to
change his itinerary to take in Pas
co. However, Pasco agrees that IL
Walla Walla will arrange an excur-
sion on the river that 1t will join in
and also try to get Kennewick to do
the came. Whether or not the invi-
tntlon will be accepted has not been
decided.

vaIorous,

An old time lord mayor OF London
whose sporting experience was limited
rode forth one day to join the city
hunt In the fields about Marylebone.
Placed by his escort under tree. his
lordship heard the hounds give tongue
In the distance. and the sounds grew
louder and louder till one of the city
scouts shouted out "The hare comes
this way. my lord" The lord mayor
rose to the occasion, and, drawing his
sword. he exclaimed heroically: LET
him comel thank my God fear him
not!'-Household Words.

MANY NEW PLAYS NEXT YEAR.

Paul Gilmore in a new play by Geo.

not having been decided upon. is to
be announced in the near future, will
begin his regular season the early
part of September. The play deals
with automobile, business and SOUTH

better than anything he has ever done.

automobile habit, who on a visit to
New York straightens out business

HEIirtlnar With Brook Trout.

If the farmer boy is more successful
in his catch than the city fisherman 1t
Is because he realizes the advantage
of keeping out of sight. OF course the
supposition Is that other conditions are
equal. Familiarity with stream Of
ten has much to do with the size OF
the string. Trout especially love to
hide under wooden bridges, water
soaked logs, branches, etc. They seem
to realize that safety Is found in such
places. When the current will not take
the worm to these spots one must re-
sort to flirting" This is done by
holding the hook In the left hand and
bending the pole until the tension Is
sufficient to throw the worm over the
spot. Considerable practice Is neces-
sary to make the bait land exactly
where 1t is wanted, but flirting" Is an
art well worth acquiring.-Circle.

Saloon Restrictions at La Grande.

1t was not until few weeks ago
that the city council was aware of
the fact that there was no ordinance
against the keeping of saloons open
on Sunday. Aa a recent meeting an
ordinance was passed, but upon ex-
animation 1t was found defective and
Mayor Richardson withheld his sig
nature. Last night another ordi-
nance was presented and passed,
which not only prohibits keeping
open on Sunday, but prohibits keeping
open on week days between the hours
of 1 and o'clock a. M. The
penalty for violation being fine Of
not less than $50 nor more than $500,
or by imprisonment in the city Jail
for not less than 25 days nor more
