way.
When the chicken came, I still
found myself gazing now and then at
the distracted couple near me. Evi-
IDENTIFY the subject of conversation was
unpleasant. Bronson was eating lit
tie, the woman not at all. Finally he
got up, pushed his chair back noisily,
thrust bill at the waiter and stalked
out.
The woman sat still for a moment;
then, with an apparent resolution to
make the best of it, she began slowly
to eat the meal before her.
But the quarrel had taken away her
appetite, for the mixture in our
chatting dish was hardly ready to
serve before she pushed her chair
back little and looked around the
room
I caught my first glimpse of her
face then, and / confess it startled me-
1t was the tall, stately woman of the

Led by the Nose.

An analytical chemist was retained
as skilled witness some years ago,
where there are questions of analyt-
lcal chemistry. There was one case
where farmer had bought some ar
tlhclal manure, and he was being
sued for the price Of it. He resisted
payment on the ground that the ma
terlal had none of the qualities Of
manure at all The expert chemist
was one of the witnesses, and had
stated that, although the substance
had the smell, it had none of the
chemical qualities of manure. Under
cross examination he was asked, if
That was so, how did he account for
hundreds of the best farmers having
taken the manure for many years
They must have been led by the
nose" returned the witness.

away again I breathed easier.
who is it," asked Mcknight under
his breath.
Ontario" I formed it with my
lips rather than said IT, Meningitis
eyebrows went UP and he looked with
increased interest at the black-gowned
figure.
l ate little after that The situation
was rather bad for me, began to see.
Here was a woman who could, if she
wished, and had any motive for so
doing, put me in jail under a capital
charge. A word from her to the po-
lice, and polite surveillance would be
come active interference.
Then, too, she could say that she
had seen me, just after the wreck,
with a young woman from the muir
dered mans car, and thus probably
bring Alison West into the case.
1t is not surprising, then, that I ate
little. The woman across seemed in
no hurry to go. She lOitered over a
demi-tasse, and that finished, sat with
her elbow on the table, her chin in
her hand, looking darkly at the chang
ing groups in the room.
The fun at the table where the col
lege boys sat began to grow a little
noisy; the fat man, now purplish
shade, ambled away behind his slim
companion; the newspaper woman
pinned on her business-like hat and
stalked out. Still the woman at the
next table waited.
1t was a relief when the meal was
over. We got our hats and were
about to leave the room, when a
waiter touched me on the arm.
Il beg your pardon, SIR he said,
''but the lady at the table near the
window, the lady in black, sir, would
like to speak to you"
I looked down between the rows of
tables to where the woman sat alone,
her chin still resting on her hand, her
black eyes still insolently staring,
this time at me.
"Tll have to co. I said to Mcknight
hurriedly. "She knows all about that
affair and she'd be a bad enemy"

observed, after glance at her. "Bet-

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out On his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then it would
break out again and 1t spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and 1t kept spreading until It was on
his hands and arms. I bought several
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had It about six months when q friend
told me about Cuticura. I sent and
got bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake Of Cuticura Soap and a box of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.

two bottles Of Resolvent, two boxes of
Ointment and three cakes Of Soap he
was sound and well, and never had
any breaking out Of any kind His
hair came out In little curls all over
his head. I don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
II have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what put
them on. I think Cuticura Is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use it. Cuttcura Soap is the best that

itv IN the courts Of this state for the
exclusion Of matter similar to the
testimony now under consideration
In Knahtla V. Oregon Short Line X.
r, Co., q Or. 1856, it was held that
under a complaint which charges
the injury complained OF TO have
been caused by the negligence OF a
defendant railway company IN per-
mitting a bridge on its road to be-
come and remain out Of repair and
failing to keep proper watch and
oversight of the same, the plaintiff
will not be allowed to show that the
bridge was constructed originally In
an improper and negligent manner
and this because the proofs and al
legations must correspond with each
other. In Lieuallen v. Mosgrove, 81
Or. 2S2, it was held that an allega-
ton that fire was negiigently taken
from defendants engine, used for
thTeshing, and placed upon the
ground in and about the stubble
from which it communicated to and
consumed plaintiffs property. is not
sustained by evidence that defen-
dants were negligent in not effectual-
ly extinguishing the fire after 1t had
been properly taken from the engine.
Other cases might be cited but
these are sufficient to illustrate the
principle as laid down by this court
in former decisions. Applicable to
this situation is Aldrich Y. Railway
Company, 80 Or. 263, wherein the
rule is held to be we'll settled in this
state that while error will not be
presumed yet when it appears from
the transcript there is no presump-
tion that it was rendered harmless
or obviated during the trial while
the record is silent.
This testimony was clearly harm
full because 1t tended to give the jur-
ors the impression that the situation
contained more danger than that al
legged in the complaint. In that II
did not correspond with the allega-
tions of the complaint and must have
prejudiced the minds of the jurors II
was harmful error to admit this tes-
timony for which reason the judg-
ment is reversed and the cause re-
manded for further proceedings not
inconsistent with this opinion.

AND DURBIN
LOCK HORNS
DISAGREE ON EVERYTHING BUT
CLASH HARD OVER SIZE OF
THE STORM SEWER ON ASY.
LUM AVENUE.

Renewing hostilitIes, which were
even more bitter in character than
those displayed at a previous meet
Ing, Mayor Lachmund and his lieu
tenant-Councllman Durbin-clashed
last evening again at the meeting OF
the city council-clashed three times,
and clashed hard.
The first clash came when the may
or proceeded to put a motion made by
Councilman Durbin, asking that a
matter pertaining TO the payment of
a sewer contract be referred to the
chairman OF the sewer committee.
''It has been moved and seconded, ;"
said the mayor, that this matter be
referred to the chairman OF the sew
or committee. When he reached the
word chairman" he fairly shouted
the word, and did 30 with voice so
full OF sarcasm, and with such an
ironical sneer on his face that 1t cut
deep into Councilman Durbin's
cuticle, and he WINGED perceptibly.
II presume" he continued, after
the motion was carried, that Coun-
Gilman Durbln, chairman OF the sew
or committee, will consult his col
leagues upon this subject"
That was more than the council
man from the silk stocking ward"
could stand, and, cropping in his
mind for a fitting reply, he reiterat-
ed: I will consult with the bayor
also"
The Second Clash.
The second fight between the two
came when Durbin opposed a resolu-
ton by Councilman Low. asking that
the FIRE department he brought up to
a higher degree Of efficiency, and the
third when the mayor arose from his
seat on the floor, and, spreading out
lot OF sewer maps, proceeded to ex-
pose the inadequacy OF a storm sewer
being Installed on Asylum avenue,
and also proceedd TO show that the
attention OF the sewer committee had
been called to II. The story relating
to the second clash appears elsewhere
In this paper, and this story will deal
with but the third and last fight of
the evening, and here It Is:
Sewer Inadequate.
The storm sewer in question is be-
aus iRiu III Asylum avenue, ana Lnen
runs across stretch OF territory un-
I'll 1t empties into Mil creek The
mayor showed that 30-inch pipes
were being laid, when, as a matter of
fact, 80 or 60-inch pipes were need
ed to carry away the water He also
showed that the sewer was being laid
along n water course, and that but a
portion of the territory which the
sewer traversed would be drained
that an immense tract would be left
undrainod, because OF the contour of
the land. III the work OF laying down
the sewer was allowed TO proceed he

night OF the evening broke loose.
A Contract Is q Contract.
Councilman Durbln, in making
defense of the sewer committee,
stated that within three days after
assuming HIS seat In the council, he
was called upon to solve sewer prob
