Serious Auditor 'Misinterpreted the vi
vacity Of Bonapartc.

Charles J. Bonaparte, attorney gen.
Aral of the United States, was presid-
ing at a meeting of the civic reform
league in New York, May, 1905, where
a sequence of long, dull papers were
presented. Between papers Mr.. Bona
parte would arouse the jaded interest
of the audience with humorous refer
ences and jokes. Each was punctuat-
ed with vivacity of manner that in
dicated his French ancestry.
But-and here hangs the story
there was one in the audience to whom
Mr.. Bonaparte's name and work were
unknown, who contemplated these
mannerisms with growing disapprov-
IL. He was serious minded, be.spec-
tacled man, tall and spare, with q
vagrant wisp of gray hair rising from
q much rubbed and wrinkled forehead,
and who seemed deeply interested in
the overly dull papers until Mr.. Bona
parte began to enliven the dullness,

in with the potatoes. Fry potatoes
brown, and break over them as many
eggs as you need for the amount you

from the fire as soon as the white is
partly set. The egg will continue
cooking after taking off the stove.

To Bake Fish.

All housekeepers know how difficult
it is to wash a pan in which fish has
been baked, the glutinous skin of the
fish adhering to the pan until vigorous
securing is necessary to remove. it,
Butter the pan we'll, and then spread
in it piece Of thick waxed paper,
preferably the kind used to line crack
er boxes. When the fish is baked it
can be easily lifted from the paper,
which in turn slips easily out of the
pan.

Checks for TRIMMING.

Many Of the newest fall dresses are
showing touch of trimming or piping
of checked material For instance, a
black suit is beautiful trimmed with
a tiny piping of black and white
checked serge. A dress of plain ma,
terial-serge or panama-is very
modish trimmed with bands of checked
taffeta. What difference a new
touch like this makes! Even in an
old-fashioned dress quite a new ef-
feet may be obtained by just little
modern trimming, which lightens up
the whole and at once shows the
wearer is up-todate.

The newest stockings for women
show bright tartan effects.
On first thought they would seem
to BE- loud, but are really charming
when worn with shoes that harmonize
or contrast.
A less striking but equally effective
combination is the plaid of the
Black Watch in hose, worn with dark
green suede shoes, closing smoke

shoes are In narrow raised stripes,

oregon Caves a "National Monument

The President has just signed a procla-
nation making a National Monument Of
The Oregon Caves, or Marble Halls" Of
Josephine County, in Southern Oregon.
These natural wonders are located in the
Siskiyou National Forest, about 30 miles
south of Grants Pass in Cave Mountain.
The caves are in marble and other lime
stones and consist of innumerable cav
erns, corridors, and passageways of yari-
Gus sizes, all of them decorated beyond
description in crytallized carbonates. They
have been explored TO a distance of two
miles or more the lowest of them being
at n depth of about 1000 feet below the
summit of Cave Mountain, the highest be-
ing some seven or eight hundred feet
above it. There are many passageways
and rooms which have never been opened.
and with these distant and unexpfored
openings the magnitude of the Oregon
Caves is practically unknown.
These natural wonders were discovered
in 1874 by Eliza Davidson, while bear
hunting. and the greater part of the ex-
ploration work was done by F. NJ. Nick
erson, of Kerby, Ore, in 1877. when four
floors or levels were partially opened
Many of the old ladders used at that time
are still in use.
In past years visitors have broken off
and carried away many of the most valu-
able specimens, and this destruction, as
well as TO retain these natural wonders
as public property. induced the recon-
mendation to PLACE them in National
Monument. 81 Ed
The Forest Service has rebuilt and i'm
proved the trails leading to the Caves
from each side Of the divide in order 20
more easily protect the valuable forest
surrounding. and TO make the caves morer
accessible to tourists.
