MISHAPS"
AT GRAND THEATRE

One of the most laughable musical
comedies seen in Pendleton for a long
time, is the latest offering of the
Beeson-Allen Co., at the Grand
theatre.
Matrimonial Mishaps," with Mr..
Tom Beeson as the principal fun
maker is a sure cure for the blues and
never fails to keep the audience in
one continual laughter from start to
finish. Miss Dolie Richards is de-
serving of great credit for her sing
ing and clever dancing Miss Bessie
Vernon also pleases and is well cast,
as also Is Mr.. Jack Allen and "Vic"
Allyn. The chorus of this capable
organization of players is far above
the ordinary run of dancing and sing
ing "girlies," and lend helping hand
in making Matrimonial Mishaps" a
sure fire hit with the theater goers
of Pendleton. This program contin-
ues tonight, two shows at 7:45 and

LITTLE DEMAND FOR LEEcHEs
Almost Nothing Compared With What
1t Used to Be Only Few
Years Ago.

Forty years ago there were in
Paris alone 10 wholesale dealers in
leeches, each of whom sold between
100000 and 100000 leeches monthly,
for which they received on an aver
age about $50 thousand.
Today there is only one dealer In
the capital and he gets from six to
seven francs 1920 to s1.40) a hun
dred. His name is Leya and he ham
dies about 10000 per month, his best
market being the United States. He
has sometimes half million in
stock.
In former times the Paris poor law
administration purchased 10000
francs ($16,000) worth a year; this
was in the '30s and '4Os of the 18th
century; the administration now finds
itself amply supplied with $40 worth
annually.
The great breeding ground for
French leeches was the marshes
around Bordeaux. A poor peasant
named Bechade was the greater of
the industry. He rented a tract of
marsh land for about $50, and this,
when properly stocked with leeehes,
became worth $4,000.
Bechade collected the leeches by
buying all the worn out horses he
could get hold of and driving them
into the marshes five or six times
a month, especially in April, May,
June, October and November. Be
chade's business flourished, and when
he died he was worth 1.000,000f.
After while the French leech
trade was ruined, not only on account
of the great decline in the demand.
but on account of the accessibility of
other sources of supply brought about
by the improved facilities of trans
port. fast trains bringing them in
short time from Turkey. Bohemia and
Dalmatia, and to a more limited ex-
tent from Algeria and Russia.-Medi-

A writer in the Boston Transcript
remarks upon the new factors which
antagoniZe home relations and absorb
so much time and attention that home
Is less constant factor and seems to
the child less important than it did a
generation ago.
The school, not only with its regu-
lar work, but with it's athletics and af-
tiliated social interests, demands an
increasing amount of time. The
church, with its many organizations,
calls for many evening hours as well
as for a large part of Sunday. In
some communities the children seem
to have about as few hours for free,
quiet home life as the busiest of bust
ness men. and the mother needs the
best methods as we'll as the finest
Of spirit in the ever lessening amount
of time she has to exert those infiu-
ences which are recognized as the
most potent as we'll as the most up
lifting in life. The church is making
mistake in pushing so vigorously
missionary, philanthropic and social
organizations for women, while reIe-
eating to a minor place that organiza-
ton whose aim is to strengthen the
very heart of the social organism-the
home. More attention should be given
to the honoring and helping of mother

KEEPING CUT FLOWERS FRESH
Water Must Be Changed Frequently
and the Blossoms Should Be
Sprinkled Every Hour.

Almost the first thought that fol-
lows admiration for a freshly picked
bouquet is how it can be preserved
the greatest length of time? Many
experiments have been undertaken to
prevent flowers from fading-such as
placing salt in the water, or nipping
them off and applying sealing wax.
We have tried all methods. and have
come to the conclusion that changing
water in which the stems are plunged
frequently and sprinkling the flowers
hourly, will keep them fresh and fair
longer than will other treatment.
The water used should be tepid.
The cooler the temperature of the
apartment the better. Never leave
flowers under gas jet, or they will
Immediately blight. The last thing at
night, change the water on the stems
and sprinkle the flowers thoroughly.

Every person who has received gym
nasium training is aware of the fact
that an exercise which calls for pain
full effort on the part of the beginner
is often performed almost without any
conscious effort at all after a GER
tain amount of training has been re-
ceived. Again, it is perfectly we'll
known that brute strength alone does
not make gymnast, and that even a
simple exercise may offer great diff
ficulty to muscular and we'll develop
ed individual who has not been train
ed in the gymnasium. The explanation
for this is made plain in an article by
Professor du Bots Raymond in Die
Umschau, who points out that one of
the essential functions of gymnasium
work is not so much to build up mus
Gle as to train nerves and nerve groups
to work in proper unison and co-or-
dination.

excited people rush after it, plucking
branch after branch from the tree as
charms against evils, until 1t is bare
of leaf and branch. During this per-
torrance continual outcry of voices
from a hundred Threats rings up and
down the valley erstwhiIe so heavy
with the silence. Then the broad gate
OF the sacred red bridge is flung open,
and the. anxious, travel-worn pilgrims
move selemnly forward on their
march to the holy temples. Sancti-
monious priests in robes of gold bro
cade or silk chasubles and white cas-
socks, and mounted on ponies selected
with religious generation for this
plous occasion, are followed by their
train of devoted parishioners, clothed
in bright yellow gowns and holding
on long poles over their heads huge
fans. Behind these marches a long
train of warriors, made conspicuous
by their ancient trappings and arms
OF olden styles. Next in this strange
procession walk in double file, men
and boys with masks over their faces
and all wearing quaint costumes of
other days donned for this especial
scene. The last squad wave ban
ners or temple flags of queer device
over their heads, or carry live birds
or monkeys. In the FEAR, attired In
skins of wild beasts, and to make
the imitation more startling, men
creep upon their hands and knees,
following two and two abreast. Be-
sides these singular bodies of people,
at intervals along the marching col
ume jealous adherents of the faith
draw sacred cars on wooden wheels,
with temple-shaped roofs and bodies
of dark lacquer, valances of rare
needle-work, and rich draperies of red
and yellow silk. The entire scene is
enlfvened, if not rendered more en-
joyable. by all sorts of instruments,
musical and otherwise, sending forth
their medley of sounds. The process
sion is at least mile long. while the
avenue is fairly deluged by a flood
of spectators who have come from all
parts of the country-some hundreds
OF miles-to witness this famous
festival.

sters with prodigious display OF teeth
that are supposed to rule the wind

and skill in the building, an oratory
as impressive as that of Iyeyasu. and
with more of ornamentation.
The beauty, grandeur and sublimity
of these famous shrines of Nikko must
be seen to be appreciated. Art and
Nature seem to have joined hands in
out-doing themselves. India, famous
for her scored shrines, has nothing to
compare with them.
Nikko puts on her best livery at the
festival of Iyeyasu, and the shrines to
this hero are then seen to the best
advantage. But the tourist has not
seen it all until he has been present
at one of the annual pilgrimages to
the mountain shrines. The day Is per
feet. Nikko has more perfect days, It
would seem, than any other spot in
Japan. The grand avenue is provided
with refreshments for the coming null
titude, and a pine. consecrated to
propitiate the evil spirits, is dragged
furiously up the terraced path. Eager,
