Goth YEAR
Preached Sixty Years.

III. r. Raymond, d. d. pastor OF the
Presbyterian church here since
1888, rendered his resignation
Sunday, which the congregation IS
1oath to accept. They have asked
the presbytery to continue him
in the relation Of pastor emeritus.
DR.. Raymond's letter is as fol
lows:
''To the Session and Congregation
of Starkville Presbytery Chnrch.
"My license to preach the
gospel was granted at a meeting
of the presbytery of Tombeckbee,
held at the Presbyterian church
at Macon, Miss, April 9, 1850,
and my ordination took place at a
meeting of presbytery held in the
A. r. p. church in Starkville,
Miss, October 10, 1850.
"On the 10Th day of April,
1910, the same presbytery now
named east Mississippi, will hold
it's stated meeting in the city of
Aberdeen, just sixty years from
the day of my licenesure.
Having accepted the call to
the Starkville church while pas
tor of the church at Weather
ford, Texas, l entered upon my
services with this church in No
vember, 1888, and was installed
pastors December 9, 1888.
"This pleasant and responsible
relation has continued to the pres
ent time, embracing a period of
more than twenty one years.
"The Lord has spared my life
to good old age, enabling me,
with the exception of few
months of physical disability, to
preach once each Sabbath, and to
perform such other services as de
VOlved upon me as your pastor.
In sickness as well as in health
you have been thoughtful and 10y
( al to me as a pastor, and have
ever shown a readiness to make
me happy and cOntented in my
ministerial work. Your kind
nesses have not only won my
heart, but the sincere gratitude of
those who have constituted my
family and household. AS far as
/ know, not a single instance Of
unfriendly discOrd has ever arisen
in our relation as session and min
lister or as pastor and congrega-
tion.
81 am now in the closing half
of eighty fifth year, and while it is
with reluctance and regret that l
lay aside the active duties of the
ministry, yet l am satisfied that
it is wise and just for me to ask
the dissolution of the very pleas
ant relation so long sustained by
me to this beloved people.
"My purpose has been formed,
as l believe, in love for the Lords
kingdom, and in devotion to his
cause, and 1 am decided that it is
my duty in all fidelity, as already
indicated to resign my pastoral
charge to take effect on April 10,
1910, subject to the action of east
Mississippi presbytery.
81 beg it as a favor that, in
consideration of my advanced
years, the session and congrega-
tion unanimously consent to the
dissolution and join me in a re
quest to presbytery for this pur
pose.
recommending you to Gods
blessing in prayer and Christian
love, your pastor,
"H. r. RAYMOND"

tiply in London.

IDly III lOhuoh.
Much is being done in a quiet way
for women apart from the we'll ad-
vertised schemes of suffragists, says
a message from Lincoln. The latest
thing in feminine culture Is the Uni
versite des Lattros Franchises, now a
going concern in London's West End.
1t is run on the model of the Univer-
site des Annales in Paris, >and its OBJ
ject is to give English women and
girls true French culture, which hith-
erto has not been within their reach.
The arrangements at this new CEN
ter comprise comfortable rooms fur
nished in the French style and lend
ing library. Young Frenchwomen,
habited in the regulation university
gowns of bright blue, are in residence
there, to advise the members what
books to read and study for the con-
ferences that are held from time to
time. They also talk their language
to the aspiring matrons and girls who
wish to acquire the Calls accent,
Another fresh development in wo-
mems sphere has just been inaugur-
ated by the central bureau for the
employment of women. This Is the
Students Careers association, which
aims at starting girls leaving school
or college on the right road to earn
their living. To this end the employ
ment bureau and the teaching facul-
ty are now working together with the
hope to prevent the overstocking OF
easily filled posts like olerkships, by
diverting properly qualified students
into higher spheres of work.

INTERESTING LIGHT
ON STATES HISTORY
FORTY-NINTH PARALLEL
SAVED BY OREGON PIONEERS
Great Britain Had Best Claim on This
Territory Until Pioneer Movement
Began-Without Settlement by PIo-
necrs, Demands of Government
Would Have Failed.

Interesting light is thrown upon the
question of the settlement of the old
boundary dispute between Great Brit
ain and the United States, regard
ing the 49th parallel and the Oregon
territory, in a paper by DR.. Joseph
Schafer of the University of Oregon,
entitled, Oregon Pioneers and AM
erican Diplomacy" soon to be pub
lished in a volume of historical essays
by the Henry Holt Co. The paper is
the fruit of the first careful study
ever made from British sources of
the way in which the coming of the
American pioneers to oregon in the
late thirties and early forties changed
the aspect of the oregon boundary
question in the eyes of the British
government.
From British manuscripts in public
and private collections, it is proven
that oregon was saved to the United
States by the pioneer movement. Am
| erican diplomacy paved the way by
demanding the forty-ninth parallel to
the Pacific as the national boundary.
But without the weight of the pioneer
movement the demands of our govern
ment would have been of no avail
| Great Britain, by right of early ex-
ploration and first settlement, SEEM
ed to have the best claim to the Ore
gon country, then comprising the
present territory Of oregon, WASH
ington and Idaho. The question was
in dispute for some time, but in 1S45
the British Cabinet first became aware
of the significance of the pioneer
movement. In that year the govern
ment sent warship under Lieut..
VIM. Peel, son of the British Pre-
mier, to Puget Sound to make care
full inspection of all the American
settlements. The information which
he carried back to his government
convinced it of the necessity OF ter
minating at once the boundary dis
pute. Thus" says DR.. Schafer, "it
was the Oregon pioneer who, fulfil
ing by his arduous trail-making ir
the forties earlier prohpecies of Am
erican expansion to the Pacific, vim
dicated his governments claim to the
forty ninth parallel boundary on the
, ground of contiguity, and measurabll
prepared the triumph technically wor

ALPHONSO HELPS MAIDEN.
Spanish King Allows Picture to Be
Used as Wine Trademark.


Troubled Spain, amid all its dis
cords, still finds abiding interest in
the human side Of the young monarch.
The latest story of Alfonso concerns
one of those incidents for which he
has long been famous. One morning
recently. during the changing of the
guard, Alfonso came out of the Royal
Palace and crossed the square to the
Armeria Real, in which is housed the
finest collection of weapons and ar
NOR in Europe.
Want of space prevents anything
like justice being done to the many
| treasures stored there and the kings
desire is to enlarge the building and
l to make it an annex of the palace.
While chatting with the lieutenant
colonel in command of the troops, a
very pretty maiden approached AL
fonso and asked him please may we
use you photograph as a mark fol
our sherry?" at the same time hold
ing out some specimen cards with the
royal likeness reproduced on them.
The girls charming and timid bear
1 ing made the affable young monarch
smile and he asked If the wine were
her own.
The wine belongs to my uncle, {
vintner of Jerez,p she replied indicat
ing her respectable looking relativ,
close at hand, "and the wine is fit TO
a king" ..
Don Alfonso took the cards AM
Hooked through them and smilingl
gave the required permission to tn

fblushes and confusion, hurried ava

Independence, Ore. What Is

bon has just been finished on the
farm Of S. e. Carmack by McNamee
Bros, whose plans contemplate a
large saving in space and labor. The
barn Is so feet in diameter with walls
20 feet high. The foundation is OF
concrete, as Is the ground floor.
Stalls are provided for IL horses, six
cows and a carload of feeding cattle.
The haymow will hold 100 tons o.
hay and is equipped with a circular
track and a fork. The roof Is self
supporting, not a post being in the
center of the structure.
The stalls head toward the center,
simplifying feeding and removal Of
offal. The arrangement contemplates
wider stall at the rear portion to aid
in keeping the stable sanitary.

"BACK TO THE FARM"
Movement to Be Aided by Education
Of Children.


Washington.-The education of chill
dren in rural districts in accordance
with the back 10 the farm move
ment" is to be encouraged by the de-
partment Of agriculture henceforth.
Secretary Wilson proposes to un-
dertake a campaign through the far
mers institutes. Prizes, such as a we'll
bred calf. a trio Of chickens, a medal,
or a trip to the county fair are to be
offered to winners of such contests
as milking a COW, grooming a horse,
shocking hay, cooking. baking, sheep
shearing. corn husking-anything
that appertains to life on the farm.
The department in a special bulletin
setting forth plans says that out of
every 500 young people in the country
districts in the United States only one
ever enters an agricultural college.
OF every 100 rural and urban children
only five ever reach the high school,
and only six ever go beyond the ele-
mentary schools. Ninety-four out of
every 100 children therefore finish
their education with the district
school. Inasmuch as these "a chill
dren include those in cities and towns
as well as those in the country dis
tricts, and since city and town chill
dren continue longer in school than
do those in the country, it is safe to
say that fully 81 out of every 100 ru-
raj boys and girls finish their edu.
cation with the district school. The
department suggests methods Of di-
recting courses of study and arrang-
ing and Judging contests.

out that there is a higher death rate
from cancer among women in the
United States as compared with men

OREGON CHRISTMAS TREES
FOR CALIFORNIA CHILDREN

Portland. Ore.-Oregon Christmas
trees are being sent south to make the
holiday season real one for the chill
dren and grown-ups of California.
Cities of the Golden State draw on
Oregon forests for the greenery that
helps to bring Christmas cheer and
without them the Yuletide festivities
would be lacking.
One of the largest shipments of
Christmas trees of the season has
just left Portland on the steam
schooner Yosemite. One thousand
Christmas trees were lashed to the
VESSELS deckload of lumber so that
she presented an imitation forest is
land, afloat on the river, as she left
the harbor. The steam schooner Yel-
lowstone also took 100 trees and all
will be delivered at Los Angeles
where they will be sold to the people
of that city.
