RINGING BROS. WILL
WINTER AT ALBANY

Albany, Ore.-Albany will become
headquarters for the Ringing Bros
circus. This fact has just beer brought
out.
The eldest son of one of the Ring
ling brothers came to Albany about
two weeks ago i~ncognito and pur-
chased an automobile from Barrett
Bros. implemtn dealers. He secured
the country around about Albany and
purchased the Thomas Froman 500
acre farm, about two miles southeast
of here, on the branch line of the
Southern Pacific. 1t is said that he
has also purchased several residence
properties in Albany, one of them be-
ing the finest house on Lyon street.
The information has been obtained
that the ~Hagenback & Wallace show
will be wintered here next winter, and
that the Froman farm will also be
used as a training ground for the
Ringing circus.

HENRI BATAILLE OBJECTS
TO THE PURITAN CRITICS

Paris. - Henri Bataille, the sue
cessful French dramatist, has just
sold two of his plays to Charles Froh-
man, making the unusual condition
that the English version must be
submitted to him for approval before
the plays are produced. These plays
are 1.-THE Scandal" and The Foolish
Virgin" Bataille said: Il am I'M
willing to sacrifice the artistic value
of my work to Anglo-Saxon hypocrisy.
over here we know that great loves
and great hates produce certain re-
suits. The American mind seems to
consider the natural play of the emo
tons between sexes as vulgar. On
the other hand we recognize that love
may rise to great heights and sink to
the lowest depths. That is the motive
that makes the saint or sinner"
Mr.. Frohman has guaranteed pro-
duction of these plays in New York
next winter. The Foolish Virgin"
has been one of the big successes of
the Paris season.

FINDS BRUTE DOING
THE FAMILY WASHING

Kansas City.-On the complaint
of Mrs. Charles Deal, wife of a far
mer residing lea Dodson, a consta-
BILE was sent out to arrest the hus-
band.
HE treated me like a dog-no, ever
worse than that" said Mrs. Deal,
speaking of her husband. II can't
live with him another day. 1 am
afraid he will hurt the children. You
must do something for me-"
Sam Lowe, a constable, was sent to
serve the summons. On his arrival
at the farm he was met by the sur
prise of his life.
There the brute was" said Lowe,
describing conditions at the Deal
farm. "his head bent over the wash
tub. He was doing a two weeks
wash. When 1 told him of the
charges of cruelty he told me his side
Of the story.
He said he did all the cooking,
washed the dishes and MIXED a small
herd of COWS. In addition to his
household duties, he told me he farm
ed 40 acres of corn land and raised
pigs and chickens.
Il was instructed to bring his five
children to town with me, but they
appeared so happy and we'll taken
care of that I refused. Maybe the
wife's charges are true. 1 don't know
but seeing what I did, 1 could not but
sympathize with the poor, downtrod-
den husband"
The sympathetic officer quickly
made the arrest and relieved the
brute of his burdens.

ed husband of Anna Gould. former
Princess de Sagan and now Duchess
de Talleyrand, recently offered to
marry Baroness Vaughn, widow of
the late king Leopold of Belgium. ac-

by an alliance with Leopold's widow.
Boni is up for reelection to the
chamber of deputies this year and it
Is reported that he has nothing with
which to make a fight for the place.

general exodus OF local anglers to
these streams as the water is yet too
high in the river. Only 10 licenses

WOOD FOR PENCILS
is NOW IN DEMAND

New York-The supply Of cedar
for pencils is playing out and the
pencil manufacturers have sought the
aid of Uncle Sam to help find a sub
stitute. The requisites are a wood
which will white easily, which shall
contain a large amount of material
free of knots. which shall not be por-
Gus nor spongy nor undnly hard. and
which shall occur in sufficient guam
titles to meet the manufacturers de-
mand.
At the suggestion of the pencil
makers, the forest service is to CO.
operate in a test of a number of ma
tional forest woods. Among those to
be tried are Rocky mountain red ce-
dar, alligator juniper, western juni-
per. redwood. incense cedar, western
cedar, Port Orchard cedar and Alas
ka cynress. n.
Wood specimens collected from the
national forests will be sent to four
leading manufacturers. who have
agreed to make pencils of them. The
manufacturers will keep a record of
the tests and report to the forest SER
the results as well as their judg-
ment as to the fitness of the individ-
ual woods.
The forest service is assisting in
this experiment because on the ma
tional forests are large quantities of
jumpers and cedars which may be
suitable for pencil manufacture. For
several Of these woods no very valu-
able use has yet been discovered. For
ests believe that in the future the
woods from the national forests may
to a considerable extent come into
use to supplement the diminishing
stock of eastern woods, the supply of
which has received no protection.

Corns.

In the present article departure Is
made from the usual custom, ant
treatment, and little else than treat
ment, is considered. Doctors as a rule
ignore corns, seeming to regard theil
treatment as belonging exclusively tC
the chiropodist. The result of this IS
as usually happens when the unin
structed or partly instructed try to
practice medicine, or when one treats
himself, that the disease is often NAL.
treated, and the corn, instead of being
cured or improved, is made worse.
A corn is not a callosity, although
often so called, for the two things are
produced in different ways A collos-
ity is due to pressure intermittently
applied; a corn is due to more or less
constant pressure, combined with fric.
tion. A callosity is superficial; corn
is we'll described in its Latin name,
clavus, a nail 1t is like a nail driven
into the tender tissues of the lower
layers of the skin and the parts be-
meath.
PAIRING a corn, the usual treatment,
may give a little relief for a time by
relieving the pressure, but soon the
horny growth is pushed above the sur
face again, and the condition is as bad
as ever, or worse.
The only lasting benefit is from the
removal of the entire growth, and this
is best effected by the application Of
moisture. Every night the sufferer
should go to bed with a thin poultice,
or a wad of absorbent cotton saturated
with glycerin and water, on the corn,
the surface before the application be-
ing thickly busted with bicarbonate
OF soda. In the daytime an ordinary
corn plaster should be worn, and in
the hole should be placed a very thin |
layer of absorbent cotton soaked in
glycerin.
This simple treatment is better than |
the use of salicylic acid, glacial acetic
acid, and other chemicals which are
often recommended. Simple rest in
bed will do just as well, but it takes
longer. In fact, a good long illness,
such as typhoid fever, may be depend
I'd upon to cure any corn. 1t is the
1nly good thing to be said of typhoid
lever.
OF course after the corn has disap-
)eared, better-itting shoes must be
worn, so that none of the prominent
,arts of the foot are pressed upon and
'ubbed by the leather at the same
ime. If the badly-ftting shoe is put
IN again the corns will quite certainly

A GHOST AT SEA.
The Phantom That Boarded the
Bark Sen Flower.


Bark Sea Flower.
The following incident is recorded
as true short story by an English
publication:
The Sea Flower, a bark of some 45O
toys, was in the early hours of the
23d Of June, 1864, bound for Bristol,
England, under the command Of the
first mate, her captain, John Ellis,
having been left behind at Kingston,
Jamaica, suffering from yellow jack"
1t was about four bells in the middle
watch Cor a. m.) when the mate,
who was standing near the pinnacle
giving the helmsman his course, sud
denly became aware of a mysterious
presence in the waist of the ship. At
the same moment his companion
clutched him by the arm, and, point
Ing, shrieked, Dye see him, sir?"
Before he could reply the mate be-
came aware that the dark shadow he
had just before observed had so far
materialized that it bore the appear
ance OF Captain Ellis. The figure Of
the captain advanced along the deck
and disappeared slowly down the COM
panion
Recovering himself, the mate left
the helmsman and hurried down into
the cabin, meeting, just coming out of
it, the second mate, who told him he
had been awakened with a start after
dreaming that the captain had come
aboard and was calling him. Both
men then made a complete search of
the saloon and the other cabins, but, it
is needless to say, without result.
Later it was found that Captain Ell
lis had died between l and a. m. in
the morning of June 23.
The story got about, and the ship
reputation for being haunt
ed; consequently a difficulty was found
In obtaining crews, and in the end it
was renamed and sold to a foreign
firm.

A Remarknble Strike.

A man in Ohio recently sought an
expert in oil because he believed that
he had struck oil on his land. He
brought a sample in a bottle.
Evidently be had been in a great

first bottle at hand. for when the
chemist had duly analyzed the sample
submitted he sent the following tele-
