A handsome young fellow, but given
to drink, thought himself In love with
a beautiful girl.
She came into a friends room one
night and said: John proposed to-
night. He went down on his knees
and said l was the only power on
earth that could save him, and that If
I did not consent to marry him he
should fill a drunkard's grave"
What did you say?" asked her
friend.

CAUSE OF CRIME AND MISERY

There are three decisions Of the

1t Is undoubtedly true that it Is the
right of every citizen Of the United
States to pursue any lawful trade or
business, under such restrictions as
are imposed upon all persons Of the
same age. sex or condition.
2. In the case of the state of Kan

Reports 623-662: I'VE cannot shut
out of view the fact within the knowl-

THE USE OF THE COMMA.

The point on which most writer's
are at odds with the compositor is
the comma, says the London Chron-
icle. 1t is not that he misplaces 1t SO
outrageously, as in that sentence
which was the cause OF many tears in
a Berlin newspaper Office some years
ago: Prince Bismarck walked In on
his head, the well-known cap on his
feet, large. brightly polished top boots
on his forehead. dark cloud in his
hand, the inevitable walking stick in
his eye, a menacing glance"
No. but be ia too fond Of this par.

delight in breaking up the flow OF

England to Lose No Time in Protect

Bushire, Persia-The British gov
eminent has lost no time in sending
troops to Persia. 1t was the ex-
pressed intention of the government
into increase the number of Indian
troops employed in Southern Persia
to protect the British consulates and
the trade routes. Quick action, how
ever, was considered necessary on &C
count of the recent attack near Kaz-
Groom by Kashgal tribesmen on the
British consul, w. A. Smart, when he
was being escorted to his post al
Shiraz by a detachment of Indian
Sowars.
The British protected cruiser Fox
arrived here and landed 169 men Of
the Indian Carnata infantry, against
possible contingencies.
Further details have been received
of the attack upon Consul Smart. Hi
escort was engaged twice. On thu
first occasion it drove off the natives
who were cleared from the hills will

IInht on Anclent dang.

Until recently the exploration OF
The Sudan was impossible. owing to
the attitude Of the natives. but last
year the excavations of Meroe. the
ancient capital of ETHIOPIA, was com
menced. Perhaps the most important
result OF the early work will be the
addition OF Ethiopian to our knowl-
edge of languages which have ceased
to exist. A large number of inscrip-
ton In hieroglyphic and cursiye writ
ing have been found. and 1t has been
discovered that the unknown language
is based on an alphabetical system
a circumstance which will make the
deciphering Of the inscriptions much
easier than was the case with the Hit
lite language, which has occupied Pro
lessor Sayce 80 years.

Portland-While Portland and Van

under the "silver thaw," heavy rains
fell in the Willamette valley, and
east of Fthe Cascades mountains the
snowfall continued until Sunday morn

Sunday morning The Dalles awoke
to see Al inches of snow. At Hood

eLAIs REASONS WHY THE WINDS
BLOW.

Astronomers and other scientists
have not yet succeeded in ascertain
ing just how far the atmosphere OF
our earth extends above the land and
the sea on which It rests. but some of
them hope to some day soon. The
Astronomer Royal of England. who
has completed his report for the fiscal
year ending May 10. tells some very
interesting things about the varying
densities. attitudes and temperatures
OF the air cushions, air pockets and
air currents surrounding the earth.
In reference to air currents and
the reasons why the wind blows, the
report explains that air consists of
gaseous particles. all trying to get
away from one another. and that. I'M
der certain conditions, they can be
compelled to come closer together by
contraction, or forced to fly further
spart by expansion. A quart bottle.
for example. holds 20 grains OF air at
the temperature Of 10 degrees. II the
bottle be cooled by surrounding II

When this occurs. more air rushes in

There is still quart OF air. but 4

Now, consider the earth and the SCI

bright, as In England. And in very
dry climates the leaves dry up sud-
