Lost trousers Playing Poker.

William Verne appeared in Detroit
police coudt attired in a dress coat
and some underwear-he had bet the
trousers in a poker game the evening
before and lost His cash, his watch
and his diamonds preceded the trou-
sers into the bank" The trousers
were of good quality, so William bet
several blue chips on them. But his
luck didn't turn and when he was
cleaned out again he broke up the
game by quitting. He begged the loan
of the trousers to go home in, but
the bank took no risks and declined.
So William started in dress coat and
underwear and was arrested.

A style of house that is well liked
in the middle west is practically
square on the ground with a cottage
roof and heavy veranda extending
clear across the front of the house.
Generally speaking, there is more
economy in a square house than in
any other form of building; but much
depends on the arrangement of the in
terror. A square house with a hall
way In the center leaves the four
corners unobstructed and free for the
laying out CT good, square, sensible
rooms that may be lighted from two
sides.
The plan here given is 20 feet
inches in width, and % feet deep, ex-
elusive of the veranda; and it is full
two stories high, with an attic large
enough to supply all the necessary
storage room and upper ventilation.
A plan of this size gives space
enough for eight rooms, and the nee
essary stalrWays, closets, and bath
room. The rooms are all fair-sized,
and the arrangement is sensible from
bottom to top. 1t is a style of house
that looks we'll when new, and it will
always look well. 1t has the neces-
sary height 1t is large enough, and
the proportions are symmetrical.
Fancy houses are not so common
] as they used to be. The time was
when a man thought he must have
considerable outward establishment

and the public generally that he had
money to throw away. However, as
people are becoming better educated
change has taken place; so you sci

is. The adoption of such plan will
save the schools the necessity of beg
ging funds from each session of the
legislature. Each institution will have
a permanent income and will be able
to plan accordingly
To the East oregonian it seems ad-
visable, however that there be separ-
ate bills for each institution. The
provision of having the funds for both
schools raised under the operations
of one bill and of leaving the division
of the fund to the joint board of re-
gents is liable to lead to wrangling
in the future. 1t would be more sat
isfactory could a measure be present
ed in behalf of each school and for
each institution to stand before the
people upon its own merits. In that
way nature would be free to take its
course and each institution would be
able to grow and prosper in accord
ance with the measure of it's worth to
the people of the state. Neither school
should be forced to carry the other
over the rough places.

AS in most of the other states in the
Rocky Mountain region, the coal pro-
duction of Wyoming was considerably
smaller than in 1910, when the record
output was obtained, but it was
larger than in any other preceding
year. Compared with 1909 the out
put of 1911 showed a normal in
crease. Coal mining in all the Rocky
Mountain states was abnormally stim-
ulated in 1910 by the strike among
the miners of the middle west. Wy
oming's production in that year in
creased more than 100000 tons
over 1909, reaching a total of 1888
0SS short tons. With the return to
normal conditions in 1911 the pro-
duction in Wyoming fell off to g.
744,S64 short tons, a decrease of
7SS,224 short tons, or 10.5 per cent.
The value decline from $11,706, 1877
to $10,50S,S63, a decrease of $1,197,-
324, or 1912 per cent. The differ
ence in the percentage of decrease
between quantity and value was not
due to any actual advance in price.
There was a general decline in values
for commercial coal in most of the
coal-producing regions, but in Car
bon and Sweetwater counties, where
large part of the product is mined
for railroad use by companies affili-
ated with the transportation inter-
ests, the prices were apparently
somewhat higher.
The quantity of coal undercut by
machines in Wyoming in 1911 was l.
94S.589 short tons, or 2S.9 per cent
of the total output, against 1,46S,-
994 short tons, or 1876 per cent of
the total, in 1910.

A STATE POOR FARM.

Governor West has gathered sta
tistics relating to the cost of caring
for the poor in Oregon and he finds
the various counties pay out annu-
ally the aggregate sum of 1886, 900 to
maintain their poor farms. 1t costs
the state but $4,000 a year to care
for the prisoners at the penitentiary
where the number of inmates is ap-
proximately the same as the total
number of inmates in all the county
poor farms of the state. So the gov
ernor concludes it would be much
more economical to maintain a state
poor farm or hospital for the depend
ent poor than to keep up the separ-
ate institutions now in existence.
Governor Waists plan is worth
careful investigation and should be
adopted if it is found his estimate as
to the possible saving is correct. If
the people can save $166,000 a year
they should do it. Particularly so
since there are good reasons for be-
lieving the inmates also would bene-
fit by the change. A state hospital
for the INDECENT poor would permit
of possibilities entirely beyond the
reach of any one county. The in
mates could be more adequately
housed and their welfare looked after
more thoroughly. They might also
be grouped in such a manner as to
make life more comfortable for them.
Those who are unfortunate through
accidents or other reasons beyond
their control would not have to be
confined alongside men whose con-
ditions may Ebe charged to drunken
ness or other forms of worthlessness.
The governors plan has the double
merit of being a move for economy
and also for more humane handling
o. the states poor.

WHERE WE WENT WRONG.

Speaking of the Short Ballot the
people of Oregon, probably without
realizing it, took a long step in the
opposite direction a few years ago.
They did it when they adopted a
law providing that the state election
be held in the fall instead of in the
spring and at the.same time as presi-
Dental elections during presidential
years.
The argument for that change was
that it would reduce the number of
elections and thus save trouble. Peo-
pie voted for the bill thinking they
were taking step forward but in re-
ality they went backward. There is
but one way to bring about capable
officials and efficiency in the public
service and that is for the voters to
pay close attention to business. They
cannot do that if they have too much
to do at once and there is too much
din and confusion.
When the primary election was
held a few weeks ago we had a fine
sample of how the new plan worked.
At that time the people of Oregon
nominated county, district and state
officials and expressed their choice
for president. The big excitement was
over the national fights. In repub-
lican ranks the question was not who
should be chosen for county or state
candidates but whether Oregon should
go for Taft, Roosevelt or La Fol-
lette. In the democratic party the
Wilson-C Clark fight was of absorbing
interest. The county and state con-
tests were neglected because they
were made the tail end of the presi-
Dental kite.
The way to get good, capable Off
cials is to select each set of officials
by themselves. Long ago it was
proven that municipal elections
should be held separately from any
other elections. There is just as much
reason why county officials sbou,d -

The Origin of Famous Hymns.

There are interesting stories connected
with the writing of many OF the hymns OF
the church. In "Favorite Hymns and
Their Authors" some of the best are told.
"Abide With Me" was written by Henry
Francis Lyte at Brixham, and it was his
last composition. One Sunday evening
he had hidden farewelto his congregation,
and after strolling down his garden to the
seashore, he returned to his study when
the sun had set, and an hour later had
written the hymn and had shown IT to
his family. A few days later he was dead.
Those who have read Newman'S
"Apologia" are familiar with the circum-
stances under which "Lead, Kindly Light
was written. Wesley's Christmas hymn,
"Hark, How All the Welkin Rings" is to
be found in almost all hymnals, and has
been translated into many languages.
About the other favorite Christmas
hymn, christians, Awake, Salute the
Happy Morn" pretty story is told.
The author, John Byron, who lived in
l745, had favorite daughter, Dolly, Tor
whom he had promised to write something
tor Christmas day. She reminded her
father of his promise, and among her
Christmas presents was an envelope
containing the hymn. The original man
uscript, headed christmas Day for Dol
ly," is now in Cheetham's Hospital, Man
chester, and bears evident traces OF hav-
ing been carried about in DollY's pocket.
When Toplady wrote Crock OF Ages, "
he could not have conceived that it twould
have become so widely known and so
popular among all shades of religious op-
inion. Gladstone translated it into three
languages, and it was the hymn for which
the prince consot asked on his DEATH
bed. 1t was this hymn, too, that was
sung when the London went down in the
Bay of Biscay, in 1866. The voices oi
the people singing Crock OF Ages" on
the doomed ship were the last thing
heard by those who were fortunate en-
ough to be rescued.
"Jesus, Lover of My Soul, is hymn
about which many traditions and sacred
associations cling. The story connected
with its origin may be legendary, but is
no less beautiful. Its author, Charles
Wesley, was sitting at his desk by an
open window, when dove, pursued by
hawk, flew in. The bird was saved,
for the hawk feared to follow it. The in
cident inspired Wesley to write his famous
hymn.
