A MYSTERY OF THE SEA.

Of Oregon.
OF all the secrets held by the flotsam
and jetsam Of many years none IL
stranger than that of the beeswax of
the Oregon beaches. Long before the
white man came to the great north
west by ship or prairie schooner yes
sells from the orient had skirted the
coast. Bits Of wreckage have told the
story of Chinese junks gone to pieces
on the shore, but the most curious evil
dence Of this eastern traffic has been
found on the Oregon coast south Of
the Columbia river. Mr.. Clarke gives
an account of this treasure troye in his
pioneer Days.
When Lewis and Clark made their
famous expedition they learned that
the native Indians of Oregon had for
many years found Jumps of beeswax
on the sandy shores.
Beeswax is practically indestructible
in water. but these pieces had pounded
in the surf until they were black and
battered almost beyond recognition.
In 1914 one Henry, engaged in the

scattered over wide stretch of coast
and were now covered. now uncovered.
| by the blowing sand. Some of the
Jumps were softened into all shapes
and sizes by the heat of the sun and
bleached nearly white. Others were
square and stamped with strange char
| acters.
In 1895 Mr.. Howell, walking on the
beach, saw something exposed in the
sand. 1t proved to be the corner of
some large squares of beeswax weigh
ing several tons. Many smaller blocks
were also found, all bearing the stamp
ed letters 81 Fl So Besides the squares
Of wax, quantities of large candles
were discovered. In looking up the
matter it was learned that as far back
as records ran these tapers had been
found with the wax on tSe shore.
OF course the explanation may be
that some oriental ship bearing church
supplies for a mission farther south
went to pieces on the Oregon coast
many, many years ago, but what
would a ship bound for Mexico or
( South America be doing so far north
and what use could any mission have
for such an enormous quantity of wax :?

When Miss Irene. Jackson left Co
lunibus, o., to pay visit to her aunt
at Hastings, N. Y, her mother gave
her many warnings. She was to look
out for collisions. She was to beware
of open switches. She was to hold no
converse with either young or old
men. She was to hang on to her purse
She was to regard any woman who
might address her as an adventures.
All but one of these instructions were
carefully followed by the nineteen
year-old girl. She was somewhat sur
prised and good deal delighted to
find herself in New York city at last
and she bravely followed the crowd on
to the ferryboat and landed at the foot
Of Thirty-fourth street. There she took

The marriage of Miss Frances EN-
ma Sholes to Mr.. Harry E. Little Of
Oberlin, Kan, was solemnized Wednes-
day afternoon. March 81. at $3.50
mother, S31 Jefferson street.
The Rev. DR.. Estey. of the First
Presbyterian church, performed the
ceremony.
The bride, who is an exceptionally
pretty blonde. wore becoming dress
of white farlette lawn. Only the rel
atives of the family We're present,
Mr.. and Mrs. Little left imme diately
for their home in Oberlin, and will be
at home to their friends after April Is.
1t really seems as if the Snobbing-
tons can't have any luck at all. Just
as they had wormed themselves into
the good graces of the family of that
Mr.. Nuritch, who made five hundred
thousand dollars in six months ("And
nobody knows how he did ito he lost
all his money as mysteriously as he
got It, and they were driven to the an
noying necessity OF snubbing their new
friends, whose English had suddenly
become intolerable. Then the Snob-
bingtons took up with those new peo-
pie who took the Chisholm house. To
take the Chisholm house makes any
new family persona grata with the To-
peka smart set, and besides the head
of the family had an important railway
position. His wife was harmless
married when he was a telegraph OPP
orator on d part of the system of
which he is now general something
other, and she was greatly impressed
by Mrs. Snobbington's grandeur and
greatly battered by her attentions.
You see she had been living in Chi
cago, where a mans family isn't nee
essarily socially prominent just because
he is the general something's other
of a railway. So the Snobbingtons got
in, as usual, on the ground floor; but
before the new railway people had
been here six months the general
something's -other was sent back to
Chicago and social oblivion, the CHS
holm house lost a tenant and there
was another vacant chair in the local
smart set. In this calamity, however
the Snobbingtons saw q ray of hope;
they had a place to visit in Chicago,
and were fixed" for transportation
But Just as they were congratulating
themselves on this silver lining the
Hepburn rate bill was passed and there
was nothing doing in the way of free
transportation. The Snobbingtons ma
turally were somewhat discouraged.
but they have taken hope again and
are now rushing some new people who
have come from a neighboring state
bought a Big House. and are said to
have Nothing But Money.

AN EXCITING TRIP
Fifty Lexington EIks Made Pilgrimage to

Monday afternoon shortly before

Elks gathered at the station to take
the special train which had been
chartered to carry them to Marshall,
where they went to install Lodge
1895, B. p. O. E The train which
had been made up in Sedalia, was
only 81 minutes late, SO that the
tart was made on comparatively
good time. Due to a mistake, prob
ably, one coach was an elegant, new
one, which looked rather out OF pla, E

On board already we're y sedalia
Elks who added an amount Of jollity of

at Myrick and tore up track on the
river route at a pretty good clip. At
Waverly there we're several addi-
lions to the passenger list and also
to the baggage. The crew reached
Marshall at 6:45 and dispersed for
supper.
At eight the installation cere-
monies began in the commodious odd
Fellows hall, which had been en-.
gagged for the occasion. Theodore
Bates and c. @, Barnard had ar
ranged the paraphernalia so thaf
the iniation went of in good shape.
After the initiation there was
banquet, but owing to the late hou.
after dinner speeches had to be dis
pensed with. At three the specia
train pulled out of Marshall. Som
there were, as usual, who insiste'
upon sleeping and some there were

that nobody else slept. At $50 tn
