to succeed himself. Henry M. Cake get
ting the nomination. Cake In turn was
beaten in the State primary by Gov
George Chamberlain, Democrat Under
the Oregon law the majority Of RepuD-
Ilcans had pledged themselves. in choos-
ing a Senator, TO stand by the choice
OF the majority of voters; wherefore.
the Legislature though Overwhelmingly
Republican, is pledged TO elect Cham

Senator Fulton has not accepted the
situation cheerfully, and neither have a
good many other Republicans Of the
State, especially the politicians Oregon
gave a whopping majority to Taft, and
has Topped back squaTely into the Re

Gustave Eberlein, the famous Ger

all others-that the American type
OF beauty approached almost abso-

"But we have no children to drink
the milk. and neither of us want to
take on more fesh," protested Mrs.
Bowser.
He smiled In a superior way, and,
taking pencil and paper, he sat down
and said:
"Mrs. Bowser, can't you see bust

"You know / won't do any such

goats. Now for the profits. Let me

Mr.. Bowser had to walk the length
Of the room six times and back before
he could overcome his emotion suffi.

II buy three goats at $40 each. That's
$45 capital laid out. You can under

Perfectly"
1T costs nothing to keep a goat.
There is grass In the back yard, and
the cook can throw our crumbs and

"But they don't, Mr.. Bowser; they

A very good illustration of the dan.

luxuriant. were all diseased, most Of

Suppression Of Opium Smoking.


An observant traveller who reached
Hong Kong the other day from the
interior by way of the West river tells
Of great change so far as the use Of
opium is concerned. says the North
China News. He points out that the
edict issued by the throne on the sub
ject has had marvellous effect on
the people-and especially those who
have learned the seductive power Of
the drug.
On the river steamers and passen-
ger boats, where hitherto there has
been free use OF the pipe. there Is
now marked diminution. The steam
ers trading to Chiangmen have no
tees conspicuously posted prohibiting
the use OF the drug on board, and
not only are the notices posted but
they are observed. The traveller de-
clares that on voyage on passage
boat to Chiangmen he did not see a
single opium smoker. This speaks
well for the action of the Chinese a,l-
thorities.
