days much by just one trial, and If
thee likes it not, I'll never trouble

Even the imperturbable face of old
Ware shows slight smile at this
mingling of acerbity and sweetness,
but he made no demonstration.
Il am on my way to see old Bet
sey," says Rebecca, quietly extending
her hand and placing the loaf on the
gate-post. "She's one of the towns
poor-or rather one of the Lords
poor, 1 think, for she doesn't belong
to this township. Poor old Betsey!"
One might have imagined that old
Ware gave a sort of start just now,
as if an invisible electric shock had
struck him. He was not used to
hearing sympathetic talk of any kind.

"She's one of the town poor, is old
Betsey," said Rebecca, meekly, and
had said it meekly year after year,
striving to allure the vagrant old
woman into feeling at home on the
charity list of the good towns-folk,
and to rest her aching old bones in
the town poor-house. But old Bet
sey was not to be trapped.
If one must be poor and ragged, at
least let one have plenty of fresh-air

pauper and drudge both is little
too much. And to be preached to

Rebecca clears her throat. at has
long been borne in upon me, friend
Timothy" she says, in a high, con-
strained vsice, as one who delivers a
difficult message-"it has long been
borne in upon my mind that thee is
living too much alone. There is none
to look after thee, or fix thee up bit
comfortable for the winter; and
have had clear leading from the
Lord which l have suffered hitherto
to be hidden IN my heart-it is that l
should offer thee a home with me,
neighbor Timothy, if so be it seems
good in thy sight"
"a home?" said Timothy, looking
up queryingly at his weather-beaten
old mansion. "As how, Rebecca?"
AS how, Rebecca? There was a
group of small boys hidden just be-
low the hedge, in the opening where
the great apple tree dropped it's fruit
age on either side of the rails. Tom
and Jim and Dick were there, bare
legged, and sly as weasels. OF course
the apples belonged to them on that
side of the fence; but then night was
the safest time for getting them.
There was no withstanding the logic
of old Wares dog by any argument
of justice and fair play. TIE twilight
had quite faded now, pale moon
shown in the heavens, and there at
the gate stood Rebecca, with her
hand in Timothy's.

have him for her ole man. Bully for
her! She'll never set the dawg onto
feller."
And with full pockets and beating
hearts the youngsters file off past old
Wares very gate. Tom gives a loud
whistle when the feat is achieved,
and stands a moment looking back
with an eye of approval. Il knew it
all along back" says Tom, oracularly
-"course did; didn't see old Tin
ware looking down that ere road
time an agin arter her? Why, she
could sweeten a crab-apple, she
could"
And I think that she did, for the
boys of the village had grand din

his Quaker bride walked down among
them, smiling right and left, and Tom
and Dick nodded knowingly to each
other and said, Il told you so."-

True Journalist Defined.

Journalism, Politics and the Uni
versity" was the subject of lecture
by George Harvey, of New York, in
the Bromley lecture course at Yale
University. Mr.. Harvey confined his
remarks to a consideration of the
proper relationship of journalism to
politics and of the university Of jour-
nalism.
1.-The master journalist" he said,
must have stability of purpose and
GOODNESS of judgment; he must have
perspective as we'll as perception; he
must have conscience, character, con-
viction; his aim must be to uplift hu-
manity, not to profit by its degreda-
tion. The master journalist must
cherish no personal animosities;
though relentless in pursuit of wrong
doers, he must be just and forbear-
ing when vindictiveness could only
inflict pain upon the innocent and
serve no useful purpose"
Mr.. Harvey declared political am
bition to be the bane of journalism.
True journalism" he said, and the
politics that seek personal advance
ment are not and cannot be made
cooperative. The journalist must be
Independent not only of politics but
OF his community"

unbearable, says old Betsey, shrug-
ging her bony shoulders under her
ragged shawl, and setting out warily
on her everlasting tramp. She is
an incorrigible vagrant, utterly ire
claimable. Perhaps Rebecca thinks
a half-fedged thought like this when
she finds her prey has escaped her
and is fairly on the road again.
On the road again, untamable,
ragged, hungry and free. She walks
at rapid, uneven pace, her thin
shawl fluttering in the wind, her un-
tidy slippers tapping at her heels. 1t
grows dusk as she steals along; the
road is dreary with cloud and shadow,
and with mocking moon that CLEANS
out now and then, lodging viciously
after this gray old ghost of a woman
fitting below. There is a white OBJ
ject there ahead of her-something
tall and queer, with a round white
head. The vagrant swerves a minute
out of her way, surveying it furtively.
Then she puts forth her claw-like
hand and clutches greedily Rebecca S
sweet, dainty loaf.
Aha! what good providence is
here! All can it be that Fate should
come, for once in way, with sweet
ness and luxury in her hand for an
old pauper, and night and darkness to
devour it in! Bewildered with pleas
ure, old Betsey hugs the dainty un-
der her faded shawl.
There is crash then, as if the
heavens were falling; a shout that
curdles her thievish blood; a rough
hand is laid upon her with vise-like
grasp. Law and justice seem to have
come down bodilyupon the marauder;
but it is only old Ware, who has been
watching from his window. His
hand is raised to strike the thief
the thief with vagrant and vagabond
written all over her; in her vulpine
eyes, her long blue nose, her skinny
claw-like hand. The woman shrinks
back, covering, against the gate-post
with wheezy cough; the old shawl
falls away from her face. Out comes
the moon and sails along with sin
lister ray pointing right down on the
shivering, crouching figure and on the
countenance that for one instant up
turns toward the assailant.

ly dressy effect, calls for the smallest
possible quantity of all-over lace or
other material of a similar sort and
which allows a choice of plain or
frilled sleeves, in elbow or full
length In the illustration 1t is made
of lawn with the yoke of all over
lace and the sleeves of lace edging
to match, but tucking or lace edging
Joined one strip to another, or, in
deed, any pretty material that may
be liked can be used for the yoke
with the sleeves of frills as illustrated
or of the material lace edged, or made
plain with cuffs. For the foundation,
lawn and silk both are correct.
The guimpe is made with front and
backs. 1t is faced to form yoke,
which can be made on either round
or square outline, and is finished at
the lower edge with a basque portion
which does away with fulness over
the hips. When frilled sleeves are
used the frills are arranged over
puff foundations and are finished
with bands at their lower edges. The
long sleeves, however, are made over
fitted Innings, which are faced to
form the cuffs.
The quantity of material used for
the medium size is three yards twen-
ty-one or twenty-four, two and one
half yards thirty-two or one and one

Plain Blouse or Guimpc.

The plain guimpe is favorite one
for heavy lace, embroidery and ma
terials of the sort and this season 10
being made both with long and with
short sleeves. This model is per-
fectly adapted to such material,
while 1t can also be utilized for the
blouse of silk and wool materials, In
addition to all of which 1t serves the
very practical purpose Of making q
satisfactory foundation for tucked
lingerie materials and the like.
When used in this way the plain ma
terial can be elaborated to suit in
dividual taste before cutting, and the
plain pattern can be laid on SO pro-
viding the necessary guide as to
shape. In this instance, however,
embroidered filet net Is used as a
guimpe with long sleeves and the
lining is omitted. The long sleeves
are much liked just now for net and
other thin materials and are very
pretty beneath the short ones Of
heavier material, but the full three
quarter sleeves gathered into bands
can be substituted whenever pre-
ferred and both are equally correct.
The blouse consists of the fitted
lining, which can be used or omitted
as liked and is made with front and
backs. 1t can be adjusted by means
of a tape at the waist line as illus
trated or gathered and attached to
the lining when that is used.

chillng storm that might make the
veriest tramp thankful for shelter.
Old Ware, sitting motionless in his
upper chamber, hears the rafters
shake overhead. He listens; perhaps
he is afraid the house will come down
over his head. The wind raves and
shrieks about window and doorway.
He gets up by-and-by, and lifting the
dripping sash, looks out into the
road. He sees nothing; no boys will
rob his melon patch tonight, and no
beggar come whining to his gate.
Afar off, where the road circles to the
south land, old Betsey has crawled
into the shelter of way-side barn.
No, there is nothing to be seen any
where about. Timothy shuts the
window with q shudder and crawls
to bed.
A week after this Rebecca, sweet
and tintless as snow-drop, stops at
the gate once more.
"Old Betsey,' my poor old vagrant,
left us last night, neighbor," she says.
1.-THE blankets and pillows they sent
were a very great charity, but she
needeth our charity no more"
"No more?" repeated old Ware,
vacantly.
"She died last night" answers Re-
becca, and her lip trembles little.
There is no reply. Rebecca does
not break the long, long pause. She
is used to the old mans moods. Final
ly she sets her face to the road again;
it is getting late.
"Rebecca," says the old man, abb
ruptly, placing his bony hand upon
hers-"Rebecca, you-you needn't

flush on his face. "a bright and

Elizabeth Ware"
A long and weary winter had
passed; summer has frightened and
faded; the autumn twilight is settling
softly on bloom and barrenness, as
old Warestands at his gate once more,
looking down the road. In his hand
is something Wrapped in white, which
he sets upon the gate-post as a gray
clad, graceful figure comes walking
up the road.

about 1926 per acre. He expects
to raise 400 bushels an acre after
the land has been cultivated more,
and some times cranberries are
worth S4 bushel there.
From one Gravenstein tree, a
Moro man picked eight boxes of So
apples, and his pears did even bet
ter than that. The Sherman coun-
ty climate is alright and so is the
soil, for almost ANYTHING that viii!
grow anywhere in Oregon, by the
application of sound reasoning and
little elbow grease, says the OBJ
servor. These trees never have
had the least bit of irrigation.

Alfalfa Meal for Stock.

Alfalfa meal is looked upon as
the coming food for stock in the
Northwest, where fattening is nee
essary. This fodder is now manu-
factured in large quantities in the
state of Colorado and shipped to
the fatting grounds of Illinois, Ne
braska and Missouri where corn is
raised on large scale. Alfalfa can
be produced in Oregon and Wash
ington on much larger scale is
the opinion of stockmen here who
have investigated its advantages.
Heretofore Oregon and Washing
ton, as we'll as Idaho and Montana
have been sending thousands of
head of cattle and sheep to the
feeding grounds of the east. This
sto k, bought here in good condi-
ton, but not fat enough for the
butchers, is shipped into corn-grow-
ing states, where it is kept for
year or SO before being considered
fit for the markets at Chicago,
Kansas City, or Omaha. The idea
has consequently prevailed among
stockmen that Oregon will do very
well to raise stock, but not to fatten
it. With the production of alfalfa
meal" this notion will vanish, as it
can be produced cheaper here than
corn can in the states of the Miss
lssippi Valley. The Portland Com
mercial Club is having the advan-
tages of alfalfa meal" investigated
with the idea of having the mills
for grinding it started in different
parts of the state.
