Mon His Bet.

One of the most singular wagers
which might be taken to be the out
come Of a growing industrial age
Was made and decided in 1911. Sir
John Throckmorton at that time
bet thousand guineas that he could
have a coat made in a day from the
first shearing of the sheep to the
last stitch of the tailor's needle.
According to the agreement, at 5
in the morning Sir John gave two
Southdown sheep to a Mr.. Coxeter.
The sheep were shorn, the wool
"spun," the yarn "spooled, warped,
doomed and wove," the cloth ''bur-
red, milled, rowed, dyed, dried,
sheared and pressed" At 4 o'clock
in the afternoon it was in the hands
of a tailor. At exactly twenty min
utes past 6 that workman finished
his task and the completed coat was
presented by Mr.. Coxeter to Sir
John, who put it on and appeared
in it before a crowd of 5000 ap-
plauding spectators Metropolitan

Guinea Fowls.

NJ. Lewis Harding writes as follows
in the Farm Journal of Philadelphia:
The Guinea fowls originally came
from the coast Of Guinea.
They are naturally wild and will
hide their nests, SO it is often difficult
to find them.
The eggs are speckled and not quite
so large as a hens egg and are more
pointed at the little end.
The Guinea will lay about $50 eggs
in a year. and after getting start in
growth the young are very hardy.
They are of nervous disposition and
will send an outcry upon the appear
ance of strange cat, dog or man.
They are equally watchful for hawks
and have been known to fight deadly
battles with these birds.
1t is best to buy eggs and hatch the
young where their future home is to
be. If hatched and raised by hen
from the poultry yard, they will be
much more tame when allowed to run
with the Guinea hen.

John Hollister was one of the
most popular men in Washington.
He was always doing favors for 9TH

abused his confidence.
One day Hollister was standing
in the Arlington hotel lobby when
this man came up to Hollister and
said very efusively:
'1'm thousand times obliged to
you for what you said to Secretary
Foster. I got the place."
"And you are "a thousand times
obliged %'' queried Hollister in his
most innocent manner.

BEST OF PROOF.
That Hyomei Will Cure all Forms
of Catarrhal Diseases.

Testimonials could be printed by the
thousands, many Of them from Corvallis
and nearby towns, that Hyomei is an
abeolute cure for all catarrhal troubles,
but the best proof of its unusual curative
powers is the guarantee that Graham i
Wells give with every outfit that they
sell, "Money back if Hyonei does not do
all that is claimed for it,
Hyomei is not . secret remedy. Its
formula is given freely to physicians who
want to know what they use when they
prescribe Hyomei. 1t is guaranteed un-
der the Pure Food and Drug Law by
serial No. 141S.
By breathing Hyomei, the healing
medication goes directly to every nook
and corner of the air passages where the
catarrhal germs may lurk, and disinfects
and heals. To be convinced of this you
have only to give it trial, remembering g
that if it does not cure, Graham & Wells
will refund your money.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$1.OO, and in most cases is sufficient to
cure the disease, making it not only a
scientific treatment but one that is highly
economical. Get an outfit today from
