Who're is NJ. c. McFarlane?

Where Is NJ. G. Mctarlane!
The lips of little 1O-year-old Ellis
Greer lisped that question night be-
fore last when he got off the South
ern Pacific train in this city-when
he stood on the platform without
relatives or friends to meet him ana
without a dollar to take him to
hotel for the night
His case was called to the atteh
ton of Chief of Police Hamilton and
he and his officers since then have
been asking the same questic/, bur,
without avail, and with the hope or
locating him they have now all
pealed to the newspapers.
Was to Meet Grandfather.
Ellis Greer is a Lewiston, Idaho
boy. He left that city several days
ago with Salem as his destination.
lie came here for a visit with his
grandfather, NJ. c. McFarlane, ana
when his parents escorted him to the
depot they carried a basket of lunch
and in the boys pocket there was
/ the munifcent sum Of % cents to be
used by him only in the case OF
| administrations ones at that.
Well, in the hurry and scurry in
boarding the train the lunch was
forgotten. Remembering the emer-
gency question the boy clung on to
| the 25 cent piece. Seeing his pre-
dicament passengers on the train
saw to 1t that he was provided with
food during the journey and then
came the stop at Salem. When he
got off the train the grandfather
was supposed to meet him, but he
did not. The boy with 25 cents in
his pocket stood in a strange city

happened to see him and learn his
story and he took him to his home
at 1855 South Thirteenth street. He
theen notified the police and since
then notified the police and since
for NJ. c. McFarlane, but they have
not succeeded in finding him, ant
the boy and they are still asking
the question, "Where and who is NJ
c. McFarlane?"

YODER CASE
MAY Be CALLED
BEFORE NIGHT

A. H. Yoder, former principal or
the Woodburn schools, will this ar
ternoon-unless the plans of the
prosecution fail-face a jury on the
charge of assault and battery upon
the person of Liddy Shembeck, a L.
year-old girl, and pupil of the
school of which he was the princi-
pal.
The offense is alleged to consist II
Yoder enticing the girl to his offices
in the school building and taking
undue liberties with her person.
Yoder is an educator OF considerable
prominence and when his prelimiN
airy examination was held before
Judge Webster he flashed a big roll
of certificates of good character and
recommendations in general. Thero
are people in the little town or
Woodburn who believe that Yoder IS
innocent and there are people there
who are convinced that he is guilty
and his case has split educational
circles in that little town.
The state has summoned eight
witnesses to prove its case, and
making a desperate fight to clear Yo-
der the defense has summoned more
than double that number--1S in all.
The case will be the hardest foughy
criminal case of this term of court.
Hunter on Trial.
II, Hunter was on trial this fore
noon. The charge against him Is
that of attempting to pass a forged
check for the sum of $3.50 on ths
IT, S National bank. His case, it is
figured, will be concluded in time, SO
that the Yoder case may be taken
up before the courts work for the
day Is at an end.

Ushers in theaters handle some pc
culiar people during season. but the
experience of the employee of Chest
nut street playhouse was a puzzle for
some time. \ well dressed, middle
aged man would secure an end seat in
the front row almost every evening.
He would tell the usher if he fell
asleep he was not to be disturbed I'M
til after the show. No sooner would
the orchestra play the overture than
the ushers would notice that the man
was asleep. At the close of the nights
entertainment some one would rouse
the sleeper and he would leave with a
polite acknowledgment. One night he
explained his strange behavior:
Il suffer from insomnia" he said.

WANTED A JOB.
Therefore He Did His Best to Please
the Mapaoer

the Manager.
4 certain playwright relates how a
manager was much annoyed by the
persistent applications for Job"
made by a peculiarly seedy individual.
Time and again the manager had re
ferred this person to his stage man
ager. "See Blank" he would say, in
terrupting the mans attempts to set
forth his qualifications.
At last the applicant did succeed in
gaining audience of Blank, the stage
manager, who was in the theater for
the time sizing up" candidates for the
chorus.
There were, of course, a number
ahead of him, but this fact did not
prevent the seedy man from interrupt
ing the stage manager between songs
with requests for job.
Exasperated, the stage manager at
length turned to the pianist and or
dered him to play an accompaniment
for the stranger. With considerable
hesitation the seedy person raised
what voice he had in song. The result
was bad as bad could be.
The manager suddenly commanded
him to desist.
What do you mean by this tOmfOOl-
ery?' he demanded, disguised. "You
certainly have COMPOUNDED impudence
to ask me for a job"'

and no conspicuous place TO put it.
He stood on the corner and wondered
what he should do with it. Presently
an Italian woman carrying a big load
of wood on her head passed by.

Paste brush and paste were requiSi-

teen minutes the ever curious Broad

followed to learn something about the
commodity that was advertised in that
