Hammond. Ind.-The latest move
on the part of the element in West
Hammond. Ill, which is opposed to
Miss Virginia Brooks crusade against
the dives is the opening at No. 10
State street of a saloon to be named
the Virginia Buffet"
Miss Brooks was surprised when
she learned of the latest move of her
opponents, but she took the position
that If the saloonkeeper who adopted
the name sought to insult her he fell
short of his purpose.
Miss Brooks is going ahead with
plans for the opening OF her settle
ment house, which she calls Baby's
Home.
Children will be received at the
home and will be kept there and cared
for for five cents day. and Miss
Brooks hopes that mothers who are
compelled to leave their children
alone during the day while they go
out to work will not hesitate to avail
themselves of this accommodation.

EVENTSOF

Most notable among the events
which called society folk out during
the week was the oratorio concert
"EAjah," presented by the choral So
ciety of the Royal College of Porpora
at the Christian church last evening.
The auditorium was we'll filled with
an audience that was astonished at
the exceptional quality Of the enter
tainment, the success of this eambi-
tious musical venture being undoubt,
edly the most pronounced ever scored
by a home talent organization in the
city. For almost two hours, the splen-
did voices which Prof. Charles Ovid
Blakeslee had gathered together were
uplifted, and whether the music came
from the entire chorus. the double
quartette or from the soloists, Its ef-
feet was the same; the audience lis
tened in rapture and marvelled that
such melody came from homo or
ganization.
The principal solo parts were taken
by j. L. Keefe, Jr., Mrs. j. r.. Dick
son and Mrs. ]. S. Landers, and none
ever displayed their vocal powers to
better advantage Solo work was also
done by Mrs Maud Gray Swingle and
Richard Mayberry and both acquitted
themselves with great credit. The
numbers by the double quartette,
composed of the soloists and Miss Ed
ma Zimmerman, Messrs. Frank Hay.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-01-06

and Charles w. Meighan, were prob
ably the most pleasing parts Of the
whole entertainment, the voices
blending into splendid harmony. The
seven piece orchestra which played
the music is deserving of great praise
as a principal factor in the concert.
For the success which crowned the
undertaking, the greatest credit un-
doubtedly goes to Prof Blakeslee who,
as musical director, has never had an
equal in Pendleton. With untiring
effort he has labored for many weeks
with his talent and his reward is the
praise which is being lavishly be-
slowed upon the "Elijah" Of last
night.
The patrons and patronesses Of the
event were as follows:
Mr.. and Mrs. c. P. Bishop, Judge
and Mrs. James A. Fee, Mr.. and Mrs.
F. e. Judd, Rev. and Mrs. Mines,

How Adee Turned the Joke on Himself

A SS1STANT Secretary of State AL.
"A vey A. Adee is one of the men IN
the government service who are said
to be indispensable. He is walking
encyclopedia on matters diplomatic
and can handle the most intricate af.
fair of state with the confidence born
OF long and faithful service. His
predecessor in his line of work held
office for more than a generation and
was such public official as Mr.. Adee.
One of Mr.. Adee's chief character
fstics is his tremendous fund of good
nature and stories concerning his off,
c1al actions never grow old. One of
the best stories told of him was joke
on the secretary himself which he
never relished, although his intimate
friends say he has privately admitted
the humor Of the situation.
When Mr.. Adee gets down to seri-
GUS work he does not like to be inter
rupted and at one stage in his official
service he found Interruptions so nu-
merous he hit upon the scheme Of
putting special lock upon the door
of his Office, the working of which he
himself could control. One day he
dismissed his secretary and messen-
ger, carefully locked the door and got
down to business.
In the course of the morning he
wanted his messenger and rang the

Mississippi Dog a Good Lion Hunter

NEW YORK.-To hear Paul ]. Rainey
" tell about it, running down a full
grown lion with pack of plain Mis-
sissippi dogs isn't half as dangerous
as chasing scared little red fox with
q pack Of fullblooded foxhounds-par.
ticularly If said fox takes it into his
head to run over the property Of an
irate Long island farmer, armed with
a shotgun full Of rock salt.
when you run a lion down with
dogs you carry q gun along, and all
you've got to do Is to use it after the
dogs drive the lion into range" he
says. But when your are chasing
Reynard the only one who has a gun
is the irate farmer. So, me for the

The young American sportsman who
stands sponsor for these sentiments
has just returned from a years hunt
ing expedition in Africa. When he

and companion on his famous Arctic
trip, DR.. NJ. E. Johnson Of Lexington,

Young Congressman's Dates Were Mixed

4 STRANGER entered the Office Of
n Representative William 8. Rey-
burn Of Philadelphia, who broke a lot

landing in the lower house last spring
at the age Of twenty.eight.
The visitor wore a highly polished
black frock coat, td1ked with a Bos-
tonese accent and looked as II he
might be q professor Of botany.
It seemed that he belonged to some
society for psychological research and
Reyburn's case had appealed to him.
He introduced himself and then began
to ply the congressman with quess
tons.
You knew your multiplication table
by the time you were year and a

RENTON, N. flames Williams,
/ a farm hand Of White Horse, who
is firm believer in the ground hog
weather theory, was put under the
care Of a physician as the consequence
OF his endeavor to capture the anil
NAL and keep him out of his hole, so
that the six more weeks Of winter
would be eliminated. Williams expe-
rience was such that he says he will
never bother the ground hog again.
For several weeks Williams had
boasted to friends that he had found
the ground hogs hole and announced
that when the proper time arrived he
intended to insure the community good
weather by forcing the animal to re-
main in the open, even If he did see
his shadow.
Several volunteered to aid him in
the capture, but Williams desired all
the honor, and said he could perform
the feat single handed. Before dawn
he went to the supposed hole of the
ground hog, about one and d half miles
from White Horse. He armed himself
with lantern and a strong rope.
While he did not believe that his in
tended prey would make an appear

''Bumming" at 20 Below Not a Picnic

CT. LOU1S.-John Vail, q postoh1ce
~ robber who escaped jail at Macon
one night early in January in an effort
to escape 3-year term in the peni-
tentiary, was arrested at St. Charles.
Vail, who is some SO years old and
fairly well educated, chose a bitter
cold night to leave the Jail and came
near freezing to death while riding
on the fender of fast Kansas City,
Chicago train. He told about his trip
the other day.
"The night I escaped the tempera-
ture was about 20 degrees below zero"
he said. II went to the depot and
when the passenger train from Kansas
City to Chicago came in l climbed up
on the tender. didn't know how far

everything they may chance to be

my face off. I'd read about men
tramping thorugh Arctic SHOWS, and
how they suffered, but where I was
roosting that night would have made
Cook or Perry turn back. My eye
brows and mustache were frosted SO
you might have knocked 'em of with
a stick.
AT last I saw far down the track
a red light and when the engine whist
led the light wasn't changed. That
meant stop! To me it was like see'
ing a sail after drifting all night on
a raft in the ocean. l just could get
my bones timber enough to climb
down. The fireman saw me and said:
"'Why didn't you stay on, old man:
we'll soon be in Quincy?'
II told him I'd walk the rest of the
way If it was the same to him. The
station was Monroe City. My ride
had only been forty miles, but I've
travelled a thousand that were easier
on the rods and bumpers. I walked
into the depot and sat on the stove the
rest of the night. Next day l struck
across the country on foot. It was a
pleasanter way to travel"
