dressing the white aproned attend

, Color Of Plymouth Rock Female.
The color of the white and buff
Plymouth Rock hen is the same as of
the male bird.
The color of the barred Plymouth
Rock male and female is the same, ex-
cept that the female should be a
| uniform color throughout, while the
male bird can be little lighter in the
neck and saddle feathers, though 1t Is
desirable to have the male bird, as
well as female, of uniform color
throughout. 1t is also desirable to
have the feathers on female terminate
with dark tip
1t is a hard matter to describe the
| perfect colcr of a barred Plymouth
Rock, as it can only be learned by OBJ
servation and experience. but I may
add that most fanciers of barred
| Plymouth Rocks seem to be trying too
hard for perfect coloring to the detri-
ment Of the shape, and have seen
recently a good many nicely barred
birds, with good color that had the
shape of Wyandotte, while the shape
| is what makes a breed and the color
only makes the variety of the breed.
Shape counts 81 points out of 100 and
color only 40, so it will be seen that
fanciers should not work too hard for
color without due consideration of
shape and size, as it will be ruinous
to the general usefulness of the breed
or variety if continued.
This completes the description Of all
the Plymouth Rocks, and if anyone in
terested in Plymouth Rocks would like
any information on the subject we
would be glad to answer them through
these columns.

state secret-namely. where Mtesa's
powder store was hidden. DR.. Felkin
remembered this at the right moment

QUEEN ALEXANDRA
OVERHAULS JEWELS

London.-Queen Alexandra has late
ly had her immense collection of
jewelry completely overhauled, and
some Of II is to be reset in accordance
with the latest fashions.
The queen has always been very de-
voted to jewelry OF every description,
and her collection today is one of the
finest in Europe. 1t is kept in large
burglar proof safes at Buckingham
palace, and the Hon, Charlotte Knoll
lys is the only one who carries the
key to this. A few years ago a care
full inventory was taken Of every
jewel the queen possessed, and the re-
suit was surprising.
Since that time, however, the
queen has made large presents of
jewelry to several members of her
family. The queen is constantly hav-
ing her jewels reset as. new ideas oc-
cur to her. while the Duchess of Ar
gyil has drawn several charming de-
signs for her lately. Her majesty's
jewelry is all carefully put away in
sets.
Each set rests upon a properly de-
signed tray of white velvet and the
whole OF the queens jewels are care
fully locked up each night before she
retires to rest. 1t is a proud boast
OF the queens that out OF her ex-
tremely large collection she has never
lost single article in her life.

STUDENTS ADVERTISE
BY PAJAMA PARADE
BASKETBALL CONTEST WITH
WALLA WALLA TONIGHT
High School ROOters March Through
Streets i'm ''Their Nighties Arrayed"
Much Noise Heralds Champion
ship Game Tonight.

Last night the peaceful citizens of
Pendleton were shocked by new
event which will take a place in the
history of this city. The majority of
the citizens thought that Jeffries and
Gotch would be the whole show, but
with these two worldwide known
characters in this city there was
something else that attracted much
attention and interest. Mayor MUIR
ply thought there was a celebration
and he was not the only one that
thought that charavari was in pro-
gress for even the central girls were
kept busy answering question after
question concerning the great clamor
on Main street. Some thought there
was a fire, and still others a mob,
but these events could not possibly
result in such a tumult as took place.
The cause of the affair was two
fold. First there was to be a de-
bate in the city that evening and.
second, there was to be a basketball
game in the high school gymnasium
tonight. The event was Pendleton's
first pajama and shirt tail parade with
cowbell and tin can accompaniment.
The column of sixty high school boys
was lead by Hawley Bean, who was
clothed in pink pajamas, high silk
hat and carrying a gold headed cane.
Every high school boy was in the
procession, especially the freshmen,
for there was notice on all bulletins
at school of the penalties to be in
flicted upon the absent freshmen.
The parade was great success and
accomplished the result for which it
was intended for the large crowd at
the debate helped the team to victory.
1t is hoped that the same success will
attend the basketball game this eve
ming and it is rumored that the citi-
zens of the city will again have the
opportunity of witnessing a similar
affair this evening.
The basketball team is going to
fight with the same determination as
characterized their playing in for
mer games and will enter the game
tonight with the same zeal that both
debating teams put forth to win the
victory, at both Weston and Pendle-
ton.
The Walla Walla team arrived this
morning and appears confident of vic
tory Their lineup will be as fol-
lows: Center, Steele, forwards, Gross,
Blackman and Bishop; guards, Jones,
Bolts and Crawford. This is the
same team that played against the
local high in Walla walla and there
Is not only keen rivalry between the
