Lee Fortune

LIE. Fortune was born April %.
1875. in Jackson county, Missouri,
and died October S, 1911, aged 80
years. S months and days. In
early childhood Mr.. Fortune re-
moved with his parents to Gold
Hill. Oregon, where he resided un-
Ill eight years ago when he came
to this city. which was his home
until his death. He was married
August IS. 1907 to Inez Foster, OF
ST. Johns, who with two sons: Har-
Ian, aged 3. and Earnest, one year,
survive the husband and father.
Besides these, two sisters. two bro
thers and an aunt also mourn his
demise. During the past IS months
Mr.. Fortunes father was an invalid
in his home, where he received the
best care a faithful and loving son
could render. At the same time
he had his little family to provide
for and the home to pay for He
never faltered, however, and with
his faithful wife bravely met their
burdens, met them so uncomplain-
ingly that few If any ever suspect
ed how heavy they were or they
would only have been too glad to
have aided him. His father died
aud was buried three weeks before
him. II is thought the severe strain
of the constant care and hard work
was too much tor his endurance.
Rev. ], J, Patton preached his fun
eral last Sunday in the NJ, +. church,
which was filled to the limit with
his friends, his brother Odd Fellows
and Knights of Pythias attending
in force. He was laid by the side
of his father in Columbia Cemetery.

Among humorous stories of the Par
Is law courts II Is told how well
known lawyer, NJ. Alem Rousseau,
was once pleading rather tiresome
case and. noticing that the judges were
paying no attention to him, said, "As
the president IL falling asleep sus.
pend my speech" But the Judge had
just woke up and cried. And l sus-
pend you from practiclng for six
months" Nothing daunted, the law
yer retorted. "Well, I suspend myself
forever and ever" and, gathering up
his brief and cap, he left the court
and never appeared again.
A Paris barrister, NJ. 'Clery, however,
was more vigorous. Seeing that the
president aud the assessors were all
asleep, he stopped, and. dealing n tre-
mendous blow on the desk In front OF
him that woke everybody up with a
start. he cried, Yesterday at thls'same
hour I was saying And the whole
bench rubbed their eyes and asked each
other II they had really slept through
twenty-four hours.
The same counsel was pleading at
Versailles on cold day and remarked
that the judges were all turning more
aud more around toward u stove that

The Peninsula Bank has been
approved by the government as a
depository for postal savings. This
proves that Uncle Sam has supreme
confidence in the stability of the in
stitution. Postal Savings banks
are only for the purpose OF drawing
out collateral hidden away in mys-
terious places and giving those fear
ful of banking institutions a chance
to deposit their coin. II the peo-

deuce in the banks as Uncle Sam
