The markets reflect the idea
that a nominee who has lost
twice will be apt to get even a
harder jolt the third time.

A distinguished medical man
holds that the real secret of per-
feet health is to be found in
walking on the hands and knees.
He says that this is how we were
intended to walk, and that the
erect attitude of man is a mis-
taken and comparatively modern
innovation. According to his
view, a good, steady walk of four
miles in and four miles out on
hands and knees every day would
bring every muscle of the body
into full play. Ne doubt, but
most of us rrefer the good old
style of locomotion-when we
can't ri !e. Il

DIED IN SEATTLE,
Former Proprietor of -0ccidents |
Hotel-Jack Young.

The remains of the late Jack
Young, who died in Seattle last
Tuesday, arrived in Corvallis
lSunday morning on the $50
train. They were taken to Bo-
wees undertaking parlors' where
brief funeral services were con-
Quoted at one o'clock, Sunday
afternoon, by Rev. w. w. Davis
OF the Baptist church, and were
then conveyed to Mountain View
cemetery for interment.
Mr.. Young came to Corvallis
many years ago with his twin
brother, Wash Young, the two
boys being the only surviving
members of the family. He re-
sided here several years and fin
ally married, buying a farm near
Mountain View, where he and
his young wife resided. Five
children were born to this couple,
all of whom, with their mother,
have long since passed away and
are buried in the Mountain View
cemetery where the father was
laid to rest.
Mr.. Young married again and
came to Corvallis to reside, as
sumlng the management of the
Occidental hotel of which he was
proprietor for a number of years.
He was divorced from his second
wife and left Corvallis, going to
Seattle, where he entered the
real estate business and became
quite wealthy. He married a
widow of that city, who, with
two stepchildren and his broth !
er, survives.
Death came as the result of !
cancerous growth from which i
he had suffered for almost two
years. Mr.. Young was aged
about 73 years and was widely
among the early pioneers
II this locality.
The remains were accompani-
I'd to this city by the widow, his
and his brother,
Who have the sincere sympathy
II the community in their loss.

NEEDLEWORK NOTES,

A deep 'ruff1e added to the lower edge
Of the gingham aprons used in the
kitchen is a great protection, so many
grease spots seem to get ON the bit of
the dress skirt showing below the ordi.
nary apron. The rutfied aprons are be-
coming and picturesque.
For summer porch cushions get a
good grade Of Bulgarian linen and
work them with the Wallachfan stitch.
The patterns need not necessarily be
large. elaborate or highly decorative.
A neat monogram in one, flowers in
second and a conventional design in
the third would make three good Pat
terms. Use white mercerized cotton for
the work
girl who paints china will find that
breakfast tray set is much appre-
ciated present. The Set consists of a
tray, teapot, sugar bowl. cream pitch
er. hot water jug. cup and saucer. 1t
should be painted to match the ere
tonne in the room for which it is in
tended. One objection to the porcelain
tray is it's weight. In that case a
wooden tray may be substituted, or a
tray of Japanese lacquer may be used.
When sewing the two raw edges Of
fine lace together, like the tiny lace
ruffle on lingerie blouses or dresses, do
not fell it in the old fashioned way,
but place the two right sides together
and bind the edge with the finest
thread, making buttonhoIe stitch
along the edge. Put a stitch in each
mesh, and you will have neat lace
seam which when pressed can scarcely
be observed, and it will not fray.

Il stood on the brink of the
Grand Canyon of Arizona" relates a
local railroad man. 81 stood almost
spellbound, for when you gaze into
that vast canyon you feel as if you
were almos. in the presence of the

ems you. Just while / was in that
mood a party of women came from
the big hotel and paused to look
into the canyon Oh spoke up

Left-Handed Men.

A man with his right arm off at
the shoulder got off the Corval-
lis train and was met byanother
man with his right arm off, at
the Albany station, says the Sal
EN- Journal. The two one-armed
men shook hands with their left
arms.
The first was Frank L. Hay OF
Harrisburg, who lost his arm in
a train accident. He is teleg-
rapher and used to be great
ball player. He is very handy
with tools, and can whittle out
chair and put it together in a
glass bottle so that no one can
tell how it got in or how to get
it out. He says there is facto-
ry in the East run entirely by
one-armed men. He has been
working for machinery house
at Harrisburg, and can set up a
binder as we'll as any tWo-armed
man.
The other one-armed man
was Ben Cleland, one Of the best
oird shots in Albany. For the.
amusement ofthe crowd he asked
some Of the boys to pick up a D..
OF of empty bottles which are
always lying about a dry town, !
md as they threw them up in

thing is impossible. Favorite rooms

An Enterprising Thief.

Last Thursday a chaffeur was
arrested at Independence for
driving an automobile without a
license. An examination of the
car disclosed the fact that it was
a stolen one, having been spirit
ed away from Cbicago in Nav
last.
Subsequent to his arrest the
man was released on bail, and
that night entered the garage
where the car was stored, re- stole
it and made his escape out of
town.
A full description of the chat
feur and machine has been sent
out to all parts of the state and
it is likely they will soon be re-
captured. The automobile was
a Haynes model, W 8, for five
passengers; was painted gray,
and the engine numbered 1852.

Smallest Bone In the Huma

The smallest bones in the human
body are to be found in the ear.
The smallest of these is known by
the anatomical name of stapes. It
has a head, neck and two launches
and is shaped not unlike stirrup
iron. The full extent of its dimen-
sions does not exceed that of pea
and is frequently smaller. By some
authorities it has been named the
lenticular bone, from the idea that
its shape and appearance resemble
that of lens. 1t is situated within
the drum of the ear.
