Dinner Tables Smaller.

Smaller dinner tables are required
than formerly because vegetable dish
es are never placed thereon. When one
lives with any degree OF formallty the
roast also is handed by the maid, not
being put. as used TO be, before the
head Of the household.

Good
Form

"Ipformal formal invitations" is
what one might call those which come
In a line written on a visiting card.
The recipient takes for granted That
such a card means % many guests to
write notes to all, which In itself lndi-
Gates a certain formafity, and yet the
occasion is not sufficiently formal to
require engraved invitations.
Invitations to tea, cards or even 70
musicals may be sent out on visiting
cards. and that there may be no mis-
take as to the entertainment proyld
ed it is designated on the card. The
only exception to this Is when one Is
merely hidden to afternoon. in that
case only the day and hours are writ
ten on, the absence Of any other infor-
nation meaning simply that the host
! ess will b eat home at he time speei-
fed. Such cards are by all means the
~easiest and most satisfactory way Of
letting friends know n Is at home
for the winter, and one has a social
afternoon at small expense. Nothing
more than sandwiches, cakes and Tea
need be served. the table being in the
drawing room or dining room, as suits
the hostess best.
A card denoting such an afternoon
would have written on it, above or be
low the hostess name:
Monday afternoon, October fifteenth,
From four to seven.
Two lines are required for the hours
and date.
If the hostess intends playing bridge
or other card games she writes:
Monday afternoon October ffteenth,

An indiana Joke.

Indians extract no little quiet enjoy
lment from what seem to them to be
oddities In the speech, manners and
customs of white people. An Arapa-
hoe stepped into the store Of a trader
one day to purchase some tobacco.
The traders son was in charge Of the
place. Now, this son was at that EN-
barrassing stage of growth when the
voice is changing. so that he never
could tell whether tenor tones would
issue from his lips or babylike fall
setto or de profundis bass On this
occasion when the Indian asked for
tobacco the youths bass notes held the
right Of way, though they were speed

o squeaky falsetto.
He asked the Indian. "WM You have
fine cut tobacco or a plugg" beginning
In d growl and ending In birdlike So

vocal variety and then without a smile

CHIEF GURDANE ROASIS
DOG CATCHING "BLUFF'

Where is Harry Hart much herald
ed dog catcher who was supposed to
commence the catching of the Pendle-
ton CANNES on April IS? If the
aforesaid Mr. Hart has done any
thing thus far in the dog catching
line he has been very secretive about
it.
II am afraid this whole business has
been the same old bluff" declared
Chief of Police Tom Gurdane in irony
today. every year the council
makes a big bluff about dog CATCH
ing crusade, but usually nothing
comes of It. A few innocent parties
like Charles H. Carter pay their IL
censes; others tie their dog in their
yards for a few days until the alleged
storm is over. That is the end of the
thing and the Crusade closes with
about one dog being caught. l am
disgusted with the dog catching bust
ness. AS for Harry Hart I doubt il
there is such an individual"

Judging" sobbed a young mother, as
she held her child in her arms in a
Paris court, where she was being
tried for having attempted to stab the
father. The judge steeled his heart
as best he could against her tender
appeals but this task was made more
severe by the pathetic eloquence Of
the lady counsel, Mile. Misopolska
who pleaded for the mother What
was a mere man, though a Judge, to
do in such distressing situation?
He cut the gordon knot by sentence
ing the mother to six months impris-
onment. with the benefit of the First
Offenders act. The mothers sobs be-
came hysterical at this point.
Here, take my baby and nurse It
while I go to prison." she screamed
and offered to place it in the judges
arms. 1t took lot of persuasion from
the Judge, the public prosecutor, and
the lady counsel to make the mother
understand that she would not have
to go to prison as long as she kept
the peace.

PEASANTS ARE WAITING
FOR CRACK OF DOOM

Vienna.-An amusing account Of
the way in which the inhabitants of
small Hungarian village prepared
for the end of the world has reached
Vienna. In Nagy-Szt- Miklos, a viii
lage in the Thesis Valley, the inhabi-
tants have been expecting the end Of
the world for some weeks, believing
that on the appearance of Halley's
comet the whole globe will be smashed
to atoms.
Some days ago a large fire broke
out toward midnight in a neighboring
village. The watchman seeing the
skies lighted up, walked through the
streets blowing his horn to rouse the
inhabitants and shouting: The last
day has comet" The people rushed
half clothed from their abodes to die
in the open. Men trembled, women
screamed and the children cried.
What followed was a curious satire
on the actions and thoughts attribut-
ed to the dying writer's of poetry and
fiction. The simple people consider
ed first that all the provisions in the
village should be consumed. A large
fire was lighted in the square in front
OF the church, and there food and
drink of all kinds was brought out OF
the houses. Everyone joined in a
hurried orgy, while hasty prayers
were made between bites for the sal
walton. of their souls.

YOUNG MAN VICTIM
OF TRAIN WHEELS
LEGS SEVERED, HE EXPIRES
IN PENDLETON HOSPITAL
william George Hesse, Beating His
Way on Train, Knocked from Car at
Umatilla and Loses Both Legs
Lives Two Hours in Consciousness
and Displays Great Nerve.

William George Hesse, aged "a
years and a son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Hesse of Rosalia, Washington. died
at st. Anthony's hospital about 4
o'clock this morning as the result of
being run over by a passenger train
at Umatilla yesterday morning. Hesse
was a laborer and was beating his
way from Arlington to Pendleton,
where he expected to go to work. He
was stealing a ride into Umatilla on
blind baggage when the accident
happened which cost him his life.
1t seems that he started to swing off
the train just as it pulled into the
station, or was getting ready to do
so when he was struck by the coal
chute which comes close to the track.
Though knocked nearly senseless he
hung on for 25 or 80 yards, but was
finally forced to let go and he fell
with his lower limbs under the wheels.
The left leg was severed diagonally
near the hip while the right foot was
cut off above the ankle.
Though injured internally in addi-
ton to having both limbs severed the
young man never lost consciousness
and during the two hours he was
compelled to wait for transportation
to the Pendleton hospital. he crack
ed jokes with the trainmen, keeping
up his courage to the last.
According to the father, who is here
today. the boy left home last August
and was hard working honest young
man, whose only faults were a desire
to wander and to steal rides from the
! railroad company. The body was
shipped to Rosalia this afternoon for
| interment.

death. Windows were shattered and

YOUNG BOY CREATES SENSATION
IN ORDER To ESCAPE WHIPPING

With his feet wired together and
cloth gag tied across his mouth. Dale
Maggert, aged IL years, who lives
with his mother at sol South Main
street, was found lying across a side
track near the Pendleton Ice & Cold
Storage plant yesterday morning He
was found by a switchman to whom
the boy declared he had been seized
by a stranger. bound and gagged and
then placed on the track. 1t subse-
quently developed that he had tied
himself and then laid down across
the rails, knowing he could get out
of the way IL train should be switch
ed onto the track before he was
found.
According to the story told Chief of
Police Gurdane, who secured the con-
fesslon from him, he had been out
late at night with the Hutchinson boy
who has figured in several Juvenile
court escapades. The Maggert boy
says they were out so late that he was
afraid to go home, knowing he would
receive a whipping. lie therefore
crawled into the Furnish warehouse,
