BAKER COUNTY MAN
FATHER OF TWENTY ONE

On Sunnyslope, September 18, the
wife of X. Irby presented him with
fine ten-pound girl. Such an event
ordinarily does not attract much at
tention outside of the family circle
and immediate friends and relatives,
but the facts of this case make 1t of
unusual interest and will delight the
heart of Theodore Roosevelt and all
opponents Of the race suicide idea.
Colonel Irby has reasons to be
proud as this makes him the father
of twenty-one children, eleven from
his present wife and ten by his first
wife. It is doubtful if another fam
lily can be found in the country in
which four Of the children celebrate
the anniversary Of their births all on
the same day, as is done on the 18th
Of September in the Irby family.
Lawrence and Clarence, twin boys,
and Ada and Ida, twin girls, two years
younger, were born on that date, and
this youngest daughter, can later join
with the twins in the birthday cele-
bration, as he is but two days later,
and what youngster is there who
would not rather eat a birthday cake
two days before time?-Baker Her

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local appliances, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There ls
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachlan Tube. When
this tube Is lnflamed you have a rumbllng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal con.
ditlon, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases ont Of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which Is nothing but an inflamed condl-
ton Of tha mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
case OF Deafness fcaused by catarrh) that

CHINK LOSES PIGTAM
CHINATOWN IN UPROAR

The bad boy got in his work last
night and severed cut from the head
of Chinaman over in Chinatown.
Hardly had the priced fair fall
en- from the chink's head until bab-
BILE of voices could be heard that
drowned music from every electric
piano in the city. They gathered
around their unfortunate brother,
wringing their hands and prattling
like a flock of geese. Frequently
one would drop in crouching posi-
ton and cross his hands as though
in prayer.
After sending a hurry up call to the
police department, Cinnamon danced
around in their enclosure much the
same as Indians when enjoying their
famous green corn dance, only it was
a much more serious affair. The tall,
swarthy chink, who, ike Sampson,
had been shorn Of mis- all powerful
locks, assumed stolid attitude, his
face plainly showing that he thought
his chances to enter heaven were for
ever gone.
But the small boy who had so skill
fully clipped the divine fringe from
a Celestial head could not be found
Some said he was seen running as
though his life depended upon his ef-
fort to get away, and there probably
was good ground for the conclusion
for a Chinaman without a cue is con-
sidered by his fellowman as being for
ever dead, damned and delivered.
Police remained on the scene fol
/ sometime but all Chinatown refused
to be comforted. They appealed tC
the police as thougt it were in theii
power to grow the cnink new ant
! luxuriant crop OF hair by shaking hi
! magic stick. 1t required some time
before quiet again prevailed and the
Chinese population resumed their re
spective shacks there to discus!
around their own fireside the awfu
tragedy which had just befallen
member of their band.-Baker Her

guild pose. which is so often distinct
i've of a tall woman. She loves life,
and she loves chatter, she is generally
loyal and true.
But it is in times of STREET and dan
ger that the little woman shows her
real nature. She is resourceful, gem
tie and enduring, and she will rise TO
heights of heroism which cali forth
the admiration of everybody.
Truly the little woman has no need
to be envious. If nature has denied
her grace of figure, she has been pro-
digal in gifts that are infinitely more
important She captivates and be-
witches mankind, and her tall sisters
recognize this and envy her accord

WHY MOST MEN
LIKE SHORT WOMEN

Short women nowadays frequently
declaim against nature. They gaze
with envy upon their tall sisters and
sigh as they note their elegant, grace
full contour.
Tall women are the first consider
ation," they exclaim, and that is true,
so far as Dame Fashion is concerned.
for dressmakers and millners vie with
each other in creating modes which
will accelerate the charms of a tall,
willowy figure.
The poor little dumpy woman like
to follow the fashion, and they fire.
quently appear grotesque in costumes
not at all suited to their individuality
They realize this and resent the prom
inence given to their tall rivals.
But although tall women are the
most important folk in the world of
fashion, it is proverbial that short
women reign supreme in the affection
of men.
A man will openly speak Of his pre-
ference for the little woman. There

qualities Of man. The latter is old

The innate sense of power is inher-

woman invariably brings forth his
most chivalrous instincts.
The character, too, of little wo-
man is usually bewitching. She is full

happy nature is very inspiring. She

Doctor" said Mrs. Spriggsworth, IT
wish % would come and see my hus-
Dand as soon as you can do so con-
v~enlently. I've been urging him to call
on you at your office, but I just can't
get him started. I'm awfully worried
about him."
i Will try to stop and see him this
afternoon. Is he in bed?"
"Oh, no. No, he's not in bed. and per-
haps you better come in the evening
or early in the morning, because you
won't find him at home in the after
noon.'
Very well, I'll come tonight. What
seems to be the trouble? Has he
caught a bad cold?"
mo, he hasn't any more of a cold
than it is common for most people to
have at this time of the year l really
don't know what is the matter with
him. I think you ought to give him a
thorough examination"
I'm sorry to hear that his health is
not good. l thought when l saw him a
few days ago that he vas looking re-
markably we'll. When did you begin to
notice that he was not feeling right?"
"Why, he claims that there is nothing
the matter with him, but, of course,
there n ust be-"
Does he appear to be bothered by
INDIGESTION"
NO, Re has always been very free
from anything of that kind. You see, he
ranges to get a good deal of outdoor
G ercise."
That's good. A man who takes plenty
G outdoor exercise really ought to
hive little use for a doctor. Perhaps
the trouble is with his eyes. Does he
complain of having headaches?"
mo, he never has them at all"
well, does he seem to be run down
physically"
"Not ~noticeably So"
SIS he unusually nervous or irrita-
ble?"
ooh, no, not at all. Really, do you
know, l sometimes believe he can't have
a nerve III his body. He is always so
placid. Nothing ever seems to disturb
him in the least"
"A very curious case, indeed. What
has caused you to think { ought to ex-
anime him."
why, he hasn't been In bed a day
or taken a drop of medicine for about
fifteen years, and l can't get it out of
my head that he ought to see a doctor
before he gets down sick. 1t may be
that an operation of some kind now
would save him an awfully hard time
later on."-Chicago Record-Herald.
