The Dark Princess had stopped before
great bush that seemed all of green leaves
bearing no flowers, until suddenly as she
gazed, the wind blew the branches aside, to
give one glimpse of clustered flowers that grew
deep down amid the sheltering foliage. Quick
ly the branches closed again and hid them.

garden" declared the Dark Princess, fasten-

the color of every precious jewel in the world,
and their scent was like jasmine. What is

Dream Kisses answered the gardener.
"Young maid, do not waste too much admlra,
ton over those flowers. They are sweet and
lovely, all the poets that ever were have writ
ten verses to them, for they stand for the
ideal. They mean everything that Is unat-
tainable in life. They are the love and the
happiness that you dream over until real
love and the happiness of everyday life come
to take their place. If you gazed too long at
the beauty of these flowers you would become
disconnected with any others. That's the
danger of day dreams and the like"

The new theory advanced by l.. l..
Cooper relative to the human stomach
has attracted such widespread attention
that the public in cities visited by the
young man has been joined by many
physicians in discussion of his beliefs
and medicines.
Mr.. Cooper says that human health is
dependent almost entirely upon the
stomach. He says that no disease can
be conquered without first alleviating all
stomach disorders. He further says that
most men and women of this generation
are half-sick owing to degenerate stom-
achs. And lastly, he claims that his
New Discovery medicine will rejuvenate
the human stomach in 80 days.
Cooper has been travelling from one
city to another, conducting in each what
he calls a campaign of education: For
the past year he has met the public In
the larger cities of the country, and his
success has been phenomenal. Thou
sands of people have flocked to his head
quarters wherever he has gone, and the
sale of his medicine has been beyond
anything of the kind ever before wilt
messed.
Possibly the most interesting feature
Of the attention this young man has at
tracted is what his army of followers,
whom he has converted to his beliefs
through his medicines, have to say on
the subject. The following statements

The Largest Logs.
GIANTS OF THE OREGON FOREST ARE
SHIPPED TO PANAMA.

A Portland, Oregon, newspaper tells
of sawed logs measuring SO inches square
at each end and go feet long, said to be
the largest ever set afloat in any port in
the world, which were placed on board
the Norwegian steamship Minerva at the
Portland mill. There were two of this
dimension, one 80 inches square at the
ends and go feet long and fourth "a
inches and of the same length.
To make sticks of the larger size 1t
was necessary to get trees six feet In
diameter at the butts, or the small end
would not have cut three feet square.
These moparchs of the forest came from
the lower Columbia River and formed
part of q raft which was towed to Port
land.
On arriving at the mill 1t proved a
most difficult task to get them ashore
and properly set for saving. Before the
work was completed the heaviest log
chains were broken.
When a number of slabs had been
sawed from them it was found that they
were entirely too large to be planed with
machinery. Consequently the planning
had to be done by hand. The operation
was necessarily slow.
When it came time to load them 1t was
also found that the steamers derricks
could not handle the timbers. Brown &
McCabe, the stevedores, were forced to
slide them aboard inch by inch. This
was accomplished with prizes, after they
had been dropped on skids.
The huge fir sticks were placed on
deck and will be taken to Panama by
the Minerva, which is scheduled to sal
the early part of next week. They are
consigned to the Government and will
be converted into spuds for new dredgs
being built to assist in digging the
Panama Canal. 1t is said these splendid
specimens of Oregon fir will 60 into the
makeup of the most powerful dredgt
which is being turned out by Uncle San
at that point.
Several cargoes of lumber have beer
forwarded from Portland to the cana
zone during the past season, but the
most of it was intended for the building
of locks, houses for the employees ane
other like purposes.
In board measure the two larger logs
contain 1880 feet, enough lumber te
build small residence. A quarter Sec
ton of such trees from which the cut,
were made would furnish sufficient ma
terial for building city representing
population of MANY thousand.

Coughing In Church.

Coughing is one of the nuisances that
no one has been able to abolish in
churches or in theatres. A physician,
however, asserts that the coughing
nuisance is mere question OF acoustics.
"There is a subtle connection between
the ear and the throat" he said. "When
the ear is strained the throat is affected,
and cough is the result.
"When we can hear perfectly in
church or theatre it never occurs to us
to cough; but when we bend forward,
straining every nerve to catch the actors
or preachers muffled syllables, then we
find ourselves coughing every little while.
"Build auditoriums with perfect
acoustic properties and l warrant that
the thunderous choruses of coughs so
common now among us will be no more
heard"
