A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. HERMENEGlLD, MARTYR.

Leovigild, King of the Visigoths, had
two sons, Hermenegild and Reared,
who reigned conformity with him. All
three were Arians, but Hermenegild
married a jealous Catholic, the daugh-
ter of Sigebert, King of France, and
by her holy example was converted
to the faith. His father, on hearing
the news, denounced him as traitor,
and marched to seize his person.
Hermenegild tried to rally the Cath
olics of Spain in his defense, but they
were too weak to make any stand, and
after a two years fruitless struggle
he surrendered on the assurance of a
free pardon. When safely in the royal
camp, the king had him loaded with
letters, and cast into foul dungeon at
Seville. Tortures and brides were in
turns employed to shake his faith;
but Hermenegild wrote to his father
that he held the crown as nothing, and
preferred to lose sceptre and life
rather than betray the truth of God.
At length on Easter night, an Arian
bishop entered his cell, and promised
him his fathers pardon if he would
but receive Communion at his hands.
Hermenegild Indignantly rejected the
offer, and knelt with joy for his death
stroke. The same night light
streaming from his cell told the Chris
tians who were watching near that
the martyr had won his crown, and
WAS koeninp his E.a cfnr with the
Saints in glory.

Love Story of Dean Andrews
I'm a. stenngranher.


Not the kind you read about that
men are always falling in love with,
but down-to-the-ground business

When Mr.. Andrews, of the firm of
Lippincott & Andrews, lawyers, made
me the largest offer had yet had, I
accepted promptly and obtaining a SUBJ
stitute. He read me the riot act on
ingratitude, but am used to that.
supposed that Mr.. Andrews would
be like many of my employers and
expected nothing. I found him high
minded, honorable, courteous. He
was making name for himself in his
profession, and was up to his neck in
work. But this suited me. I'm not
afraid to work. In my years of expert
ence with men I have learned to re-
gard my employers as a cash basis
from which draw in order to live;
| they look upon me as machine to
do their bidding. This machine must
| be in order, run well, do good work;
so try to keep in physical condition,
give my attention as well as time to
the matter on hand, and incidentally
dress we'll. No fri1ls for me, but my
tailored suits and shirt waists are as
fresh as they are severely plain. You
see, it is not only my own living upon
which my success depends, but that
of another. I have a delicate young
sister to keep and educate. From the

ends meet, and lay up a little some
months. It seems a pity to waste
words on myself before coming to the
real story of Mr.. Andrews. but it seems
necessary prelude to what follows.

months when noticed change in my
employer. He who was always alert
and keen seemed to attend to his work
with apparent effort. I decided that
he could not be well.
One day as he dictated and my pencil
waited for the next word, could hard
ly believe my ears when, instead of
the terse, ready, business-like English
which was always a delight to me, he
| began abruptly in worried tone:
Miss Townsend, may trouble you
with little personal matter? You
see, I am quite alone in the world; no
near Womenkind. My uncle is the best
ever, but unfortunately he and I don't
agree on matter which to me is vital.
I have observed you closely for all
these months, and feel that you have
horse sense. You are dependable, with
no foolishness about you. Now want
your opinion about the case in hand.
Your clear view of the Potter claim
aided my decision; why can you not
help me in this?" he hesitated, then
plunged boldly into the statement of
his new case
Il have met all kinds of women, but
no one appealed to me until lately.
Then, as fate would have it, the WON

out of my class. She is lady, a thor

on with decided effort: Never mind

EPISTLE:. If we receive the

OF God 10 greater; for this 10
the testimony Of God which is
greater, because he hath testi-

KLAMATH FACES PROBLEM.
Southern Pacific's Fill May Result in
Shutting Off Irrigation.

klamath Falls, Ore.-The South
ern Pacific Company is filling in the
trestle across the strait between the
Lower klamath lake and klamath
river. This is the only opening into
the Lower klamath lake, except a
series of gates in concrete channel
near by, put in by the United States
reclamation service, when the rail-
road embankment was built
If these gates should be closed, the
reuslt would be to lower the water of
Lower klamath lake and to lay bare
all the tule lands surrounding it.
The reclamation service Officials
here will not say whether they will
close those gates or not, but it is
known that if this is done it would
shut off the water from the private
irrigation system known as the Van
Brimmer canal. 1t is said that this
system could be supplied from the
reclamation service canals, but as
this would involve added expense
some one would have this to pay, as
it is certain the farmers under the
klamath project would not bear the
expense, and the owners of the Van
Brimmer canal cannot be expected to-

PIGS ARE PROFITABLE.
Rancher Realizes Well From Animals
Fed on AcornS.

E. T. McKinstry does not do all of
his boosting for richer and better
Rogue river valley by word of mouth.
He has shown his confidence in the
country by getting title to various
parcels of real estate and then by
demonstrating what the soil can be
made to do. One of his late expert
ments has been in the line of pork.
He is breeder of fancy swine him
self, but it was the common acorn
fed porker of the timber that was
the basis of this particular demon
stration.
Two months ago Mr.. McKinstry
bought eight pigs, acorn-fed for
which he paid, $4, or s. per head.
These pigs were at once put on diet
of skim-milk and alfalfa and later
on whole wheat soured in the skim
milk. The smallest pig of the lot
has just been killed and marketed,
and the returns to the McKinstry ex-
chequer were $20.S0.
All the feed for the pig was raised
on the ranch. The milk was a by
product from the dairy herd, and the
wheat was of this seasons crop Mr..
| McKinstry has no record of the wheat
eaten by this particular pig but he
says that two bushels is a more than
liberal statement. All of which
demonstrates anew that all the gold
mines of the Rogue valley are not
developed through the sluice box.
The pig trough finds some of the
nuggets.

Medford, down the Applegate, touch

river to the coast. Location work
is to be undertaken at once.
For some time the matter of con-
structing a railroad to the Blue
Ledge mine has been discussed by
the residents of Medford. A mass
meeting was called and a citizens
committee named. This committee
failed to report. This led the men
who incorporated this line to take
the matter up. A road to the Blue
Ledge was first considered, but this
was later abandoned for a road to
the coast. A branch will probably
tap the Blue Ledge.
The men who have incorporated
the road state that while the build

financed, enough money has been
pledged to do the preliminary work,

WOULD BAR NEGROES.
American Bar Association Would
Keep Membership White.

Milwaukee, Wis.-Whether negro
lawyers may hereafter be admitted
as members is one of the subjects
before the American Bar Association,
which opened its thirty-fifth annual
meeting here Tuesday. The question
arose in the special report of the eX-
ecutive committee, declaring that
although it has been the settled
practice of the association to elect
only white men as members three
negroes, including William H. Lewis,
as assistant to the United States at
torney general, had been seated by
the committee in ignorance of their
race. The committee, therefore, re-
scinded its action and allowed the
men to remain qualified as nominees
for membership, and asked the en-.
tire association to vote on the ques-
tion
Attorney General Wickersham an
nounced he would make a strenuous
fight against any attempt to unseat

In The Social Realm
DEPARTMENT Hawley,

The praise service at the Presby-
terian church last night was greeted
by a full house. The hour of sacred
music was one of the best yet given
Every number was a special one, and
praise should be given to all The
arrangement of anthems, quartets,
duets and solos was such as to give
pleasing variety to the service. One
of the finest things ever heard in
Ashland was the famous The Day is
Ended" sung by Mrs. Perry Ash
craft, with violin accompaniment
Much of the beauty. of the music was
due to the organ work of Mrs. Par

Land Marks Gone

Last Sunday morning Mr.. and
Mrs. Andy B. Powell and their
family boarded the train with
tickets for Los Angeles where
they will make their future home.
On Thursday evening a large
number friends and young folks
gathered at the Powell home to
give them a farewell reception
which was a pleasant affair.
Mr.. Powell is an ex-Confede-
rate soldier, a member of the
Duncan K. of P. Lodge and
has spent the greater part of his
life on the frontier prospecting
and mining having at times a
good stake. He has bought
property in California and his
friends here will wish him pros
perity and contentment in the
new home.
The Powells had been here
just fourteen years to a day; we
do not know whether they pick
ed the anniversary Of their land
ing here for day on which to
leave, or not however, whether
that much sentiment was purpo-
sely put into the leaving or not
it is rather a coincidence that
just exactly IA years should pass.
A large family of children have
practically grown up in Duncan;
they settled here and bought land
out of an alfalfa field in which
the principal part of town now
stands; they came before the
Indians were gone and have
never been known to go back to
a place they had left. Hence,
this is one family that will not
come back.
