Reward of Hospitality

OUR FRIENDS, the Elks, are yet bubbling with enthusiasm back in their Eastern homes over the hospitable reception accord ed them by the people of Port land. Portland stock with our whilom visitors has gone soar ing away above par and friends and relatives and business asso- ciltes back there are hearing that the only section of the country is the Pacific Northwest, and the only city in the Pacific Northwest is Portland. This state ment may be regarded by some people as a trifle ornate, but in the circumstances it Is permis- sible, and we aye willing to leave it to any member of the antlered herd who has trekked back to his native range if the element of exaggeration is not so sligh, as to be hardly worth mention ing.

DELICATE BUT KEEN ! TRUST
English Lawyers Method Of Handling

Said John B. Curtis, the we'll known
lawyer and president Of the Indiana
Society of New York, speaking about
the recent heckling of Detective Burns
when he was on the witness stand in
a memorable case: 'I'm afraid that
sometimes we get little too personal
and severe with witnesses. How much
better was the handling of a famous
detective who was testifying in Lon
don court. 1t was divorce case and
Mr. Frank Lockwood was the opposing

to the stand dressed In black broad
cloth, wore a gold fob and seals and
looked much more like respectable
middle-aged solicitor than a member

Tanned Sea euIIs.

That sea gulls may be homestead
ed has been demonstrated at Long
Beach by Miss Mignon LIE Brun of Los
Angeles, CAL So familiar have the
gulls become about her as she takes
her morning walk along the beach,
and, after she has been among them
for short time, some of the birds
will even perch on her shoulder and
take food from her fingers. She has
been many weeks in overcoming the
fears of the birds. Her appearance
with her customary handful OF table
scraps is hailed with cry Of delight
by theA gulls Instantly they are in

and in front of Miss lie Brun. Then
they will drop to the sands md feed

complacently as might flock OF pet

Is your Bible within easy reach?
MI right; then proceed with this an
,cdote from Life: A man who was
staying at home during the past sum-
ner, not having received his weekly
,tter from his wife, thought he would
le smart and send her a quotation
rom the Bible that would surely
,ring letter by next mail. Not hav-
ng Bible handy, he depended on his
memory and wrote as follows: my
Dear Wife: Proverbs 25: 24.-John."
He did not get any more letters.
When his wife returned he asked her
why she had not written. She showed
him his quotation. He looked at his
Bible and said: "Oh, Lord! quoted
the wrong verse; 1t should have been
Proverbs 25: 25."

At last the woman gave herself up
to him in complete and entire aban-

proach; and at last the man took what
was his own without the shadow Of
a reservation. She shrapk from no
pressure of his arms, she turned her
face away from no touch Of his lips.
They two had proved their right to
surrender by their ability to conquer.
Speech was hardly necessary be,

time that coherent words came. Little
murmurs of endearment, little pas
sionate whispers of beloved name

When he could find strength to deny

didn't know what It was: he didn't

Maitland had insisted that Newbold
share his hospitality, but that young
