 Tue foregoing quotation Is from chapter xiii, verse 2, Book of Hebrews. and 1t Is introduced solely because 1t constitutes a vital part of this story. Julia Is ten years old and she goes to sunday school. It appears that on a recent occasion the Sunday school teather had considerable to say about this matter of entertaining angels uneCares." Anyway. 1t made a deep impression with Julia.
 A few days after the lesson Julia s mother left her fin charge of the house for few hours. When the mother re- turned she went to particular cup In the cupboard to extract therefrom onehalf dollar. In this cup is kept the famlly pin money. and Julias mother knew that she had put 50 cents there before she had gone out. But the half dollar was gone There sas an expression of anxiety on Iuiia's face and mother scented mis- chief.
 Did you take that money?" asked the mother, somewhat severely.
 Julia broke into tears: T gave it to a man that came to the back door" sobbed the little girl
 Gave 1t to man" exclaimed the mother What for?"

FOREIGN BELIEFS ARE QUEER
Spanish Wedding Is Ruined If One Person Appears Entirely in Black
 Some Other Signs.

In Spain the wedding Is spoiled il one of the guests appears entirely fin black, or if the bride looks into a mirror after orange blossoms and veil are fast in her headdress.
 When persons hair ends split, it's taken by the expectations for a sign that she Is either witch or has been oewitched. As blond hair splits more readily than dark hair, all witches. spirits and sorceresses have blond or red hair. according to the standard of art.
 On the marriage eve there is often much good-natured rivalry between the groom and the bride in the Slav countries as to who shall blow out the candle. for the person who does VIII be first to die" It is impossible to trace the origin of this superstition. Yet 1t prevails in aristocratc society as we'll as in the peasants hut. even as like this, that ito insure the life and health of the children the wom- an must occupy the right eide of the bed. In addition, she must not smoke before her forty-ffth year.
 There Is superstition in this coun- try and many others against burning a broom. The bud of birch broom is used in Southern Germany as pre-. fentive against erysipelas. These buds, a piece of yellow WAX and some other articles are enclosed in a pink silk bag, secured with red silk and worn on the back of the neck. The person must change his shirt every Friday.

THE PENDLEToN ROUNDUP.
CMedford Mail-Tribune.1


The Roundup given annually by
PendletOn is a most successful show.
1t gets the crowd. it gets the money.
it furnishes spectacular excitement
for the multituGe-therefore it is a
success. --:t o., -.s...
The Pendleton East Oregonian
says: 1T was Il 'stupenduous success.
1t provided a swift. thrilling enter
tainment for $4,000 out-of-town peo-
pie; it brought half a million dollars
of outside money to the city and has
thrown the name of Pendleton into
the glare as never before"
Anything that gets the coin and
the crowd is "a, success, materially
considered. The big prize fights are
most successful The Mexican and
Spanish bull fights are successful.
The circus maximus of the ancient
! Romans, with its .gladiatorial combats
and rending of human flesh by wild
beasts was still more successful.
The Roundup Is based upon Buff
falo Bills Wild West circus. 1t de-
picts on a grotesque and exaggerated
scale the brutal amusements of ranch
life of pioneer days-a life long since
passed away and kept alive only by
dime novels and spectacular shows.
Even the Indians brought in obso-
lete decorations from the reservation
TO parade in feathered finery, are
prosperous farmers with only one
pure blooded aborigine among them.
Long horn wild steers no longer roam
the range. Herds of wild horses years
ago went the way of the buffalo.
Eastern Oregon long ceased to be
the wild west.
Bulldogging, biting steers. roping
and throwing helpless animals. tor
turing horses into bucking perform
ances, and other exhibitions given at
the Roundup are far more cruel than
prizefighting, bull-fighting or any
other of the sports condemned as
brutalizing. It is popular for the
same reasons-it appeals to primitive
love Of brutality and savagery and
struggle that is inherent in mankind
and which civilization is trying to
eradicate. Such exhibitions never
lack popularity.
The Roundup enriches Pendleton,
but the world Is no richer for it, hu-
manity no better and in the long
run will dwarf Pendletons legitimate
development-make It merely show
town, dead fifty-one weeks in the
year

The decrease in the brick and tile in
dustry was $8,613,675; the increase in
the pottery industry was $733,882.
In the brick and tile industry there
were decreases in both quality and

Of fancy or ornamental brick, in the
quantity and value Of fire brick, and

however increases in the value of Wit
rified paving brick. in the quantity
and value of front brick, in the value
of enameled brick, stove lining. sewer
pipe, fireproofing, and the miscellan-
eous items.
The decrease in the output Of COM
mon brick may be partly accounted
for by the increased use of hollow
block or tile for the construction of
large buildings and even of dwellings.
This form of construction offers many
advantages, among which are econo-
my in construction, the ease and rap
idity with which the material can be
put in the wall, and its noncondustiv-
ity. 1t is believed that there will not
be any rapid increase in the produc-
tion of common brick in the future
and it is probable that the use of hOl-
low tile or block will largely increase.
The value of draintile increased con-
stantly from 10 years up to 1910 and
then showed a large decrease-15 05
per cent-the largest proportional de-
crease of all the clay products in

Waiting the immediate necessity for
the use of draintile.
Ohio led all the states in the value
of its clay products in 1911, with

with $2O,27O,O33; New Jersey third
s1S,17S,22S: Illinois fourth, $14.333,-
oil: and New York fifth, s1O,1S4.-
376. No other state had an output
of clay products as righ in value as
ten million dollars. OF these five
states only Ohio and New Jersey
showed a gain in value of output over
1910, the increase in Ohio being ST.
6S7.573 and in New Jersey S232,919.
The value of the imports Of clay
products in 1911 amounted to $10.-
S04,749, a decrease of $54S,592 from
the value in 1910. OF these imports
pottery formed the greater part in
1911, having a value of $10,63S,616,
the remainder being divided among
brick. fire brick, tile, etc. The pot
terry Imports decreased $492,5i2 and
the brick imports s56,O50 from the
imports for 1910.
The exports of domestic clay prod
