In progress, and Jackson was at once
made second lieutenant by virtue Oh
his West Point commission. His serv-
ices were brilliant in this campaign,
and he was promoted to the rank OF
major.
\ Became Devout Christian.
So far Jackson had not given deep
study to religious subjects, and had
little knowledge of creeds. When he
returned to the United States at the
close of the Mexican war. he became
intensely concerned In Christianity,
and joined the Episcopal church.
From that time forward his every act
was characterized by extreme piety.
He is quoted as having said that two
hours was as long as he could go
without communing with his Maker
In prayer. Conscientiousness was one
OF his marked traits. and duty was to
him Of first consideration. His rev.

standard of perfection and Of the
source Of authority. He believed IN
a special Providence. and was errone-
ously called fatalist by some. His
abiding trust and simple faith were

WASHING
DEMONSTRATION

A demonstration of the Thor electric
washing machine has been given at the
store of Dean & Shaw during the
past week and the mechanism which
work on the same general scheme as
the big steam wshers used in laundries
is reveltion in saving the strength of
the person who does the washing. In
the early times when people first wore
clothes they took them to the river and
placed them in the stream to be
washed but this modern arrangement
brings the power Of the river to the
home laundry through the electric
wires and the river still does the
work. A small one sixth horse power
motor attached to the lower part of
the machine drives not only the
washer but also runs the wringer.
There is a reverse gear so that the
wringer may be run in either
direction. Messrs. Dean and Shaw say
that the washer although great
saver of labor is not expensive and
may be driven by the same power con-
sumed by GA candle power electric
lamp, which costs about two cents an
hour to operate. Several of the
machines, which are made in two
sizes are being tried out by local peo-
pie and one of the larger sizes has
been placed in the Hotel Oregon. The
machine is very neat looking and is
made of metal in very substantial
manner.

A Spanish Woman Answers tho Cues.
tion, "Why Do You Wear III"
The writer once asked of well
known lady OF the Spanish aristocracy
who was seated In the box of the pres
ident of d corrida in Madrid, why do
you wear mantila?' and the fair
duchess replied: Because we all wear
a mantilla at bullfght or at any
truly Spanish function. 1t Is the prop
er thing to do, and we do It."
A little later rs strolled among

woman of the people over whose
head and shoulders was also thrown
mantila why all Spanish women. to
whatever class they belonged, wore
this national headgear. II 1t may be
called thus.
This woman was sitting In the open
air. and was thinking that q large
straw hat would have protected her
better from the burning rays of the
sun and been quite as picturesque.
She replied in that droning, warm tone
SO typical Of the Spanish: "Well. hap

and ! think the reason why we all
wear the mantila is because we Span:
ish women are most careful about our
hair. We think the chief charms of a
woman are her eyes and her hair
And, as you may see, we all have
splendid, thick. lustrous hair. and we
are supposed to have. many of us, fas-
cinating eyes. Now, why should we
hide our deliberately arranged hair un.
der a hat and conceal our eyes In the
shade cast by the brim of hatf"

reads the play giving the lines of all
the characters and her work is ex-
tremely effective. The dramas which
she has selected for her repertoire are
deserving of the best Interpretation
which can be given them and the read
er, who appeared here few months
ago, will no doubt meet a large pat
ronage at this appearance.
Nine. Labadie is making a tour of

Hood River she has been in Alaska for
a couple of months, having just re-
turned. She gave readings throughout
the north country and Mrs. Anna b.

THE FIRST WINDMILLS.

Could Work Only When the Wind
Blew From a Certain Point.
Windmllls are said to have been in
troduced into England by the knights
of st. John, who observed them In use
among the Saracens In the Crusades.
but how long they had been in ex-
istence before this it is not possible to
ascertain. A water mill was built In
Bohemia In the year 718, for an old
chronicler mentions it. going on to say
that before that time all the mills In
Bohemia were windmills set upon the
summit Of hills"
For hundreds Of years windmills
were among the most important ad-
Juncts Of industry. yet they hardly
changed from the rude and primitive
design Of earliest days. They were
fixed in one position, and SO could only
be worked when the wind blew from
a certain quarter, while the four sails
boasted no Stats or checking apparatus
Of any kind, which must have been
most inconvenient at times.
The first idea Of arranging a mill so
that 1t could be worked "whene'er the
wind did blow" was that Of lettering
an ordinary mill in the middle of
pond by means Of ropes. When the
wind shifted the ropes were loosed
and the mill dragged around until the
sails were caught by the wind, and 1t
was then again tethered as before.
Later on a great pole, which was
worked on the principle of turntable,
was affixed to the mill. Not until 1900
did Holland. the land Of windmills,
introduce movable dome carrying
the sail axle The dome ran on rollers
and was shifted around by means of
the pole mentioned above. These an
cient mills were often of massive build,
being made of brick or stone, and later
entirely Of wood. london Globe.
