Peter stretched his languld
length in the great wicker chair on
the other side Of the tea table from
which Annette dispensed afternoon
hospitality in her rose garden.

measure patriotism? Because I won't

Peters eyes narrowed. ''Then Ar

He makes his speech In the after

one seems eager to help me out with

Dear girl, I'll come and pass cake
and listen to the Declaration, but l

"Well, the men all look lovely In
their new uniforms" Annette informed
him.
Somehow" said Peter. "a uniform
is associated in my mind with service.
There are the old regimentals of my
great-grandfather, all stained with
mud, and the faded blue cape that my
father keeps in memory of Gettysburg
is blotched with red" He shrugged
his shoulders. "But it's too hot this
weather to dress up for nothing"
"Nothlng-oh" Annette flung out
her hands. II don't believe you'd fight
if there was a war, Peter"
Peter leaned across the table. Con

Annette stood up too. She slipped
from her finger wonderful hoop of
diamonds.
"There," she said, take It. If you
loved me you would see my point of
view. 1t isn't that l want you to
wear blue and buff; l want you to
show your patriotism"
"Ah-patriotismw Peter picked up
the ring. "If you ever want this again

GUNS TO AID 4ASToRIA's
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

Astoria, Ore, May 29.-Huge, dan
gerous, foe-repelling coast artillery
will boom across the harbor at AS
toria for the edification of visitors to
the Astoria Centennial. Lieutenant
Colonel Foote, commanding officer at
Fort Stevens, has issued orders for
special parade and target practice
August Is and 16, for the special bene-
ut of those who attend the Centen-
NAL
The monster guns, which protect the
mouth of the Columbia river, will
carry heavy service charges and the
big shells will be shot out into the
sea for miles. It is seldom that the
visitor to the coast resorts has an
opportunity to witness target practice
such as this, but on account of the
unusual Importance of the Centennial
the Secretary of War has authorized
the commander of Fort Stevens to
shoot thousands of dollars worth Of
powder and shell into the ocean.
This big target practice of the AS.
toria Centennial is one of the best of
the features on the programme, which
runs from August 10 to September 9.
General Manager Tremp reports that
Mesdames w. O. Barnes, H. F. Prael
and P. A. Stokes, of the Women's Aux
1liary of the Centennial committee, are
distributing thousands of aster plants
to the women of Astoria, so that Aug
ust 20. Astor day, there will be an
abundance of these typical flowers for
decorations to receive Colonel John
Jacob Aston, who is due to visit the
centennial pageant that day.

CONGRESS
TO OPEN At SPOKANE

Spokane, Wash, May 29.-Prob-
lens OF continent-wide interest are
to be solved at the first American
Egg-Laying Congress in Spokane, be-
ginning next November and continu.
ing twelve months 1t is free and
open to the world. Plans are to have
at least two entries of six chickens
each from every state and territory
in the Union and province in Canada.
Among other things this information
is sought
Will 800 chickens support an aver
age family.
What breeds are best for CONNER
cial eggs?
What is the actual cost of produc-
ing eggs?
What are the prime requisites for
successful egg-culture?
What state, province or territory
produces the best layers?
John c. Lee, a former newspaper
man, now poultry rancher at Hill
yard, Wash, who originated the con-
gress idea, has submitted tentative
plans to A. c.. Ware. chairman of the
poultry and game committee of the
Spokane chamber of commerce, for
formal discussion and action at the
next monthly meeting of that body
early in June.
"This is not to be q competitive
exposition for fancy breeds or feath-
ers, nor money making scheme .
Mr.. Lee said, "but an educational
affair in the best sense of the term.
There will be no medals or cash
prizes, though diplomas and ribbons
may be awarded for the best pro-
ducers. Primarily, we are seeking
accurate information which is not
now available through the regular
channels.
Present plans are to set aside a
tract of land near Spokane and erect
the necessary buildings for the care
of the fowls. Experts will be placed
in charge and a record kept of every
pen, the money returns going to the
owners. We believe we can accom-
plish good results here, as we have
an even climate and none Of the dis
eases common to the chicken family,
such as cholera and gapes."

He Began TO Dread the
Nlhilists and Went

There IL an old story to the effect
that man who may be called Jones
was assured by Smith that he was
the very picture Of Robinson. So he
hunted up Robinson, and appraised
him of the comparison.
well, I'll punch Smiths head for
him when next come across him!"
Robinson said.
"Oh, have already done that"
was Jones' reply.
It was in a very different spirit
from this that a banker In Copen-
hagen, named Carlsben, received the
intimation of friend that he resem-
bled Alexander III, car Of Russia
He had never seen the car. but 30
far as he could Judge by such por-
traits az were available. he found. on
looking In the mirror. that his friend
had not exaggerated the resemblance
The idea pleased him greatly. and
from that day forward he left nothing
undone to increase the likeness. and
to enable him to play the part Of

MRS. HARTMAN LIKELY
TO BUILD UNIVERSITY.

New York, May 27.-The American
says that Mrs. E. H. Hartman plans a
great university as a monument to her
husband on the Pacific coast, probably
in California, but as California is well
equipped it is not impossible that
Washington may get the institution.
Joseph w. Hartman referred all ques-
tons to his aunt, who refused to dis
cuss the plans.
