A Bankers Generosity.

One day Humboldt was dining with
Mendelssohn, the banker, and, an un-
usual thing for him, was very silent.
His host, remarking 1t, observed to
Humboldt that he was sure he must
be III.
NO" said Humboldt, "but am in
great trouble. Only ten minutes be-
fore leaving my apartment to come
here / received from my landlord Il
note informing me that he had sold the
house In which ! reside and that
must move. The very thought drives
me to despair. really cannot bear to
move again"
Mendelssohn gradually led Humboldt
into conversation, during which he
found time to write note and receive
an answer to 1t. He then took Hum
boldt aside and said: "By this note
learn that am now the owner Of the
house in which you reside. The condi-
ton, however, upon which l have be-
come Its possessor is that you continue
to occupy your apartment In It as long
as you live"

ScaIded I'm Hot Springs.

Two small children, a boy and a
girl, belonging to ]. NJ. Currey, were
very badly scalded Tuesday evening
by falling into the creek running from
the hot springs at the Hot Springs
bath house in the south part of town,
says the Lake County Examiner. The
water is chalding hot as 1t escapes
from the ground.
It seems the children were playing
along the edge of the brook and the
boy fell so that hands and arms were
immersed, He screamed with pain
and so alarmed his little sister that
in the attempt at getting him out she
also slipped into the water to her
armpits, scalding her lower limbs
and body so badly that 1t is feared she
will die. She is in a very critical con-
dition. The little boy may recover.
The children are under the care OF
DR.. Smith.

Wanted q BARGAIN.

One day q small Cincinnati boy came
to halt before a sign over a desk in
the Office Of the express company. II
gave the rate for money orders, and
after studying 1t for few minutes he
walked up to the cashier and said bold
ly:
II want money order"
How large a one. my boyT the

fellow. "The rate for a ten dollar Or

"Yes; that's right"
well, want a drum and pair Of
roller skates and a new straw hat and
some candy. Ten dollars viii be

Then he nshed through his pockets
and triumphantly placed a nickel and
three coppers before the astonished
clerk. II took ten minutes to convince
the youngster that nothing less than

TO GROW CHRISTMAS TREES.
New Plan for Wornout Farms of the
Country.

Washington, July 30.-The United
States forestry service has a plan fol
the utilization OF the worn-out farms
OF the country-a scheme to make
them a paying proposition. The idea
is simply to plant trees.
An Ohio farmer suggested the
scheme. He owns a homestead where
farming has been a losing PROPOSE
ton. He has therefore decided TO
plant the entire tract with trees.
Norway spruce has been selected as
the tree, and as soon as they are large
enough they will be sold for Christ
mas trees-and, by the way, Christ
mas trees bring first-class prices.
One of the fundamental principles
of forest economics, say the experts,
Is that soil which is not good enough
to make the growing of cereal crops
profitable, should be devoted to the
growing of wood crops. This does
not mean that trees grow better on
poor soil than on fertile soil. But,
in proportion to the money invested,
better returns are secured from trees
planted on the less valuable land.
The Ohio farmer mentioned above
expects to plant chestnut in the blank
spaces left after removal of the first
crop of Christmas trees. About the
time when the last spruce is cut, 1t
is predicted that the chestnut will be
ready for the axe. In addition, ca
talpa, black locust, elm, boxelder,
and sycamore will be planted. All of
the trees mentioned are excellent for
the purpose; growing well on less
fertile land, and furnishing COM
quick return on the money
invested.

well lived for several years, there is a
bridge spanning the lazily flowing

Other improvements - President
Campbell Sent East TO FIJI Vacan-
cles-COngested Condition Relieved.

University of Oregon, Eugene, July
29.-The annual meeting Of the board
OF regents was held Saturday in the
presidents office, In Willard Hall,
with all members but one present.
Additional land was purchased for
the campus and committees appointed
to investigate and arrange for the
purchase OF other tracts; $4,000 was
appropriated for library books, to be
purchased as soon as possible.
L. r. Alderman, a graduate OF the
University of oregon and at present
city superintendent of the schools Of
Eugene, was elected assistant profes-
sor Of education; DR.. Hugo Koehler
was elected instructor in German;
Mr.. James Currie, instructor In chem
istry; Mrs. Ellen NJ. Pennol, instruc-
tar in English, and assistant dean Of
women; Miss Mozelle Hair, assistant
instructor in English literature, and
Miss Mabel Cooper and Miss Miriam
Van Waters assistants in the cores

President Campbell Goes East.
President Campbell was authorized
TO make a trip east at once in order
through personal investigation, to Sc
cure the best possible men for the
following positions: A head for the
department OF geology, librarian, a
professor OF political science. an as
sociate professor of civil engineering,
and an assistant professor Of psy-
chology.
New Building Ordered.
The president OF the board was au-
thorized TO construct at once a new
building to be completed by the open
ing of the fall semester. The plans
have already been drawn for one that
will contain about Is rooms. and
work will begin on It at once. II will
greatly relieve the overcrowded con-
ditlon OF the other buildings. Sever
al other new buildings will be con-
structed as soon as possible. but prob
ably no work can be done until
spring
The addition Of the new instructors
10 the teaching force will mean much
for the work of the university. The
rapid growth in the number OF stu
dents has greatly crowded many de-
partments and some, like the depart
ment OF geology. have been without
a head for some time. The cores
pondence school will be much strong
er than last year and the new man |
In the department Of political science |
will greatly strengthen the course |
preparatory to law. The work of the |
library will be greatly expanded. -
1T will be the policy OF the uni
versity to secure the best possible
men for these and all other positions"
President Campbell said today. "for
the real success Of any school is
measured by the worth OF Its teach
ing force. No college on the coast
has a better instructional force than
the University OF oregon and every
effort will be made to keep the stand
ard at the highest. l have a large
number OF applications for each po-
sition to be filled and during my trip
east shall select the men who are
best qualified for the work"

FRANK GARDNER.

In the passing of Mr. Frank Gard
ner, at Laurel Friday evening, the
citizens of his own town and the
state lose progressive citizen and a
true man. Upright, honorable, genial
and kind, Mr.. Gardner was a good
and in many respects a great man.
His splendid business achievements
and almost always successful vent
ures in many fields bespoke a mind
of superior mould. He was a self
made man, beginning his career with
only hands and brain as capital. and
he was heard to remark-not boast
ingly, for such was not his way, but
with a sweet candor that we'll became
him-"Every dollar have I made my
self"
Public-spirited, generous, courteous
and ever thoughtful of the happiness
of others, his character stands out
grandly as to what true man is and
should be.
Friends are sorrowing throughout
the State with his bereaved wife to-
day.

THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE.


We've all got griefs that we're bound
to nurse,
Some clouds darken and some dis
perse.
There's songs of sorrow and songs
of glee;
The worlds no worse than it used
to be.
The folks that lived in the ancient
days
Had fights and famines-all kinds of
ways;
The things that they were called on
to control
Were rougher than running short of
coal.
Some of them had to live as slaves,
And row in galleys to watery graves.
The tyrants so wealthy and unjust
Did things lots worse than to start
a trust.
OF course we have a long way to go,
But we are giving the Golden Rule a
show.
And this world, honestly, seems to
me,
Is a great deal better than it used
