HAPPENINGS AROUND
and ABOUT ALBANY

Albany, Ore, Jan. Tn a furious
basketball game last evening the Che
mawa Indian basketball team, COM
posed of four husky braves and one
negro, defeated Albany college by
one point. In the first half the Indi-
ands played all around their oppo-
nents, the score being 20 to z. But
few changes were made in the AL
bany lineup, and the game ended 2S
to %. The feature of the game was
the rough playing of the redskins.
Two men connected with the FASH
ion stables of this city had fight in
their barn last night. Armed with a
pitchfork and neckyoke, they made
things rather lively. AS the result of
the encounter one was compelled to
have a couple of stitches taken over
the right eye. No arrests were
made.
The Baptist church of this city held
their annual meeting last night, in
which all the old officers were re-
elected. The report shows a mem
bership of 275. Under their pastor,
Rev. Douglas, the church has been
in a very prosperous condition for the
past year.
Ella Peacock filed a suit for di-
vorce today in the circuit court
against Albert Peacock. Mrs. Pea
cock states in her charges that her
husband for the past year has desert
ed her on many occasions. She also
claims that 10y" riding with wo-
men of questionable character was
a frequent habit of his. The couple
we're married in 1902 in this city.
They have one child. Mrs. Peacock
asks for one-half Of the property,
which is valued at $500, including

but the robebrs failed to reach the
money box, and their efforts were
foiled. A large hole was bored in
the top of the safe, and then charge
of dynamite was exploded, but the
hole was too small to enter. The
safe-cracker was evidently an anna
teur, judging from his operation.
In one of the fastest basketball
games of the season, Albany High
School defeated the strong team
from Salem High by an overwhelm-
ing score of 81 to "a. For the psf
week the local team has been
coached by Haman Bilyeu, of o. A.
c., and under his direction the team
has developed wonderfully. Claud
Swan, the famous o. A. G. forward,
referred the game in an able manner.
A new case in the circuit court Is
Ernest A. Kye against Sadie V.
Kye for divorce. Mr.. Kyle charges
desertion, cruel and inhuman treat
ment He also, asserts that his wife
used harsh language, and also threat
ened to run knife through him. The
couple were married April 5, 1907,
and lived together three months.
Dr. Davis, health officer of Linn
county, has made out his report for
the year 1909. The record shows
1853 deaths during the year, with
800 births. OF the deaths 80 occurred
in Albany, placing the death rate
for this city at n per cent in a thou
sand, a remarkably healthy rate
During the year there was but one
death from typhoid fever.

YOU will love mel" But Meta replied
in a cold tone: do not call me mann
ma; 1 am far too young to be your
mother. Call me Aunt Meta" on, now
disappointed little Blanche felt; but
she remembered the wise advice OF her
grandfather, and determined to fol-
low it.
Blanche, with her loving ways and
pretty face, soon gained the affection
of the mountain children, and she was
so generous to them, allowing them TO
ride on Pinto's back, that they were
her devoted friends.
When the little girl had dwet in her
mountain home about year she came
down stairs one morning and found
new baby brother, lying in tiny erio
in Metals room, then Blanches true
and loving nature shone forth, her JOY
was so great and unselhsh and she
kissed Meta so tenderly, Gaining her
my baby brothers mother" that her
heart was touched and she determined
to love Blanche.
A few days later she heard the little
girl whispering: little brother you
have a really, truly mother and father,
and l have only a really, truly fatheri
but 1 would love your mother. on! SO
dearly, but she does not love me. l

Several years passed and Blanche
had grown to be large girl IA years
old, and now she must go to board
ing school; her grandfather had in
sisted upon it. Little Donald, who was
now 6, was weeping bitterly because
his sister Blanche was going away
from hime.
Meta had learned to love the girl by
this time quite tenderely, but she still
felt that she wished to be "Aunt Meta"
which grieved Blanche very much, but
she remembered her grandfather's ad-
vice
Blanche was thinking sadly of life in
a strange boarding school, her time to-
be constantly employed with study and
practicing of music, gone would be her
glorious rides on her pony's back; she
went to the barn, and, as she combed
Pinto's rough name and looked in his
loving eyes, tears ran down her cheeks.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-10-30

Suddenly the small hand of little Dom
aid was thrust in her own, and she
heard his childish question: ''Why does
sister cry? Is sister sorry she is going
to the pretty school where mamma
says she will learn to be such a fine
lady that she will never love her home
again."
Blanche clasped Donald in her arms,
crying: 81 will never forget you; I
will always love you all and long to be
with you"
The following afternoon Blanche's
trunk was we'll packed for an early
start the next morning. She ran out
to the barn to bid Pinto last good by,
but no Pinto was to be seen. Had he
broken his strap and run off like the
little Indian that he was?
Just then she heard Meta calling. in
anxious tones: "Donaldi Donald!
Where are your" Going out of the
barn Blanche quickly Joined her step
mother. Was Donald also gone? Could
he and Pinto have run away so near
sunset? |In September" cried Meta,

Dumpy-Doo was a funny name for
a tiny bit of a girl, was it not?
Dumpy-Doo was not her sure enough
name, but one which her papa gave
h,r because she was such dumpy lit
tie miss Her real name was Grace,
but no one ever called her that.
Well, this little Dumpy-Doo lived
in the suburbs of a great city, and
her papa went to work in the city
every day. leaving Dumpy-Doo and
her mamma alone till evening. Then
such good times they all had, when
Dumpy-Doo and her mamma would go
to meet the papa at a railroad cross
ing, and from there they would walk
home together hand-in-hand. Dumpy-
Doc would walk between her papa
and mamma, and she always felt that
nothing could harm her then.
Well, one evening Dumpy-Doo's
mamma was i'll and she said to her
little grille: Daughter, mamma can
not go with you to meet papa this
evening; she is feeling too ill. with a
very bad headache. Do you think you
could go alone to meet papa?"
"Oh, yes, mammal" cried Dumpy-
Doc. IF neither of us go to meet
papa he will wonder what is the mat
crossing and wait for him."
''Well, the crossing is only two
blocks from home, and you can see
our cottage all the way" said the
m NINA and there are no trains
passing at this time in the afternoon,
only in the mornings and at midnight
do they come laundering along. So
therell be no danger in your going
down there. But do not cross the
tracks unless you see papa coming
on the other side"
Then as it was almost time for the
papa to be coming home. Dumpy-Doo
got her little sunbonnet, kissed her
mamma goodby and ran down the
little grass grown suburb street toward
the railroad tracks, two blocks distant.
She reached the crossing and sat
down on a big stone to await her
papa's coming. After a few minutes
she espied a man down the street who
resembled her papa, and just as she
was about to take off her little sun
bonnet to wave to him he disappeared
into a shop at a distant corner
DumpyDoo jumped up from her seat

HER NEW MOTHER

have a young and pretty mamma to
call me darling Blanche!"
Then her grandfather looked very
wise and said; Dear little girl. you
are filled with joy, and it is right you
should love your new mother, but per-
haps she may not love you just at
first. In case that should happen do
not become unhappy; be dutifub be
cheerful, be useful, be obedient and 1
feel sure all will be we'll"
Blanche was to go to a good country
school, which was only a mile distant
from her fathers farm. Her grand
father had given her an Indian pony,
who was to carry her backward and
forward every clear day; so now the
little girl was travelling to her father
home, her heart filed with joy and de-
light, but when she reached the noun
tain station she met with a sad disap-
pointment; her father and her new
mother, whose name was Meta, were
there to meet her.
Her father gave her a loving greet
ing, and when he said; "Blanche, here
is your new mamma" Blanche ran to
her crying: Dearest mamma, I hope
Los Angeles herald., 1910-10-30

One beautiful fall day many years
ago little girl whose name was
Blanche Gaynor, was travelling with
friend of her fathers. For several
years she had been making her home
with her grandparents, who lived in
the far west.
When Blanche, who was now years
old, was tiny baby she had met with
a great misfortune-she had lost her
mother by a sudden illness. She could
not remember her, but she had always
cherished a sweet idea of young and
pretty woman bending over her and
calling her darling Blanche" SO,
when her grandfather read letter to
her from her father saying he had mar
ried again, this time a very young girl
ony II years old, and had bought
small farm in the mountains of Vir-
ginia, she was wild with joy, and when
her grandfather read that now Blanche
was to come and live with them, the
little girl danced around the room sing
ing my dream has come true.

and ran across the railroad tracks,
going on to the shop she had seen the
man whom she thought to be her papa
enter. On reaching the shop door she
looked about inside, but the place was
full of customers, and Dumpy-Doo
supposed her papa was in the rear OF
the long room. She entered and looked
about. Several men were there, but
her papa was not one of them. Then
Dumpy-Doo noticed that there was a
side door which led into another street,
and she thought that probably her
papa had gone out at that door, in
tending to walk around the block and
approach the railroad crossing from
another street. Dumpy-Doo went out
at the side door and ran down the
street, hoping to overtake her papa.
She went quite a long way before she
realized that she was not taking any
notice of the distance, nor the corners
she had turned. Then she stopped
and looked about her. The street was
strange to her and she could not tell
one direction from another. She
thoua1t she knew the direction in
which her own home lay, and started
out quickly, fearing that her father
would reach the crossing before she
should arrive there and go on home
without her, and that her mother would
be made very uneasy when the papa
ould arrive without the little
daughter
So ON and on went Dumpy-Doo.
thinking it strange that she should not
have thought the distance so long in
coming, for now it seemed endless.
And after a while Dumpy-Doo no.

HALLOWEEN

Halloween, Halloween!
Popcorn's swapping in the heat,
Chestnuts toasting, apples roasting,
Taffy stewing thick and sweet.
How the frisky shadows prance-
Like black COLLINS in a dance;
Down the mantel-shelf an elf
Runs with twinkling feet.
Halloween, Halloween!
Pumpkin heads are all alight,
Grinning yellow at a fellow,
In a row--a silly sight.
Thought l saw witch or two
Pass the window, didn't you?
Fairies must be out, no doubt
'Tis the Wonder Night!

out of place on Halloween, but really
and truly there are many things she
can do. It seems to me that the day is
a good excuse for girls to express for
once the long pent-up tomboyishness
which they have kept a secret for
whole long year. '"The neighbours"
who for so long have been the reason
for your ladylike, dressed-up manners,
are undoubtedly acting as boisterously
as you are, so you need not mind them
at all.

nieces and nephews will have a fine
time, but please don't break any win

many fences to tear down or gates to
hide, for we don't often see them in
Los Angeles. wish knew some new
games for you to play tomorrow even
ing, but 1 have asked every one for
new ideas and no one seems to know
anything about boys and girls games.
If you are invited to costume party
witches costumes are more effective
than the ordinary ghostly raiment.
They should be made of black cheese
cloth. 1 have also found that the
ghost costumes made of black cloth
are far "scarrier' than white; for if

You also can buy jack-o-lanterns
which are much more fierce and which
are so much lighter and easier to carry
You will find, too, I think, that they
will not be so expensive as the pump
kins, and they can be bought at most
any drug or book store. If you have
tennis shoes, wear them, for they do
not make so much noise
Now 1 must tell you about the new
topics. felt so sorry for the poor
little girl whose new mother would not
love her and satisfy her great desire
for a mothers love. / have an idea
that when little Donald, her brother,
was lost, she must have found him
and thus gained the love of her young
stepmother. / am sure she must have
had some exciting adventures during
the search, and 1 hope that you will
each be able to tell me something in
teresting about it.
l hope that my artists will be sure
to make their Cinderella pictures en-

ever so many beautiful pictures in this

to come.

buy new clothes and ribbons and pref

can tell of practical ways of investing
it. so that it would make more. ] know

they could have a strip of ground and
