An Entertainment Hint.

Do you want TO have a very lively
party for crowd of young people
Try this one: Have card tables to
accommodate four at each, and in
the center of each table put a pile
of buttons. 1t is wise to Gull out all
those with very small eyes or
"shanks." and also cloth buttons. This
part OF the fun is an individual con-
test, the players being assigned to
the various tables by means of sim
liar buttons. Pass around a little
dish or tray on which are four plain
white buttons, four black, four smok-
ed pearl, four shoe buttons, etc, and
at each table have a card on which is
sewed a fifth button of one of these
varieties. The four players having
white buttons will find places at the
table where the card bears the white
buttons, and so on.
On the table place four needles
(about No. y threaded with double
white cotton. Do not make the
thread more than eighteen inches
long, as it is apt to tangle. Waxing
the thread is also a good idea. Al
the tap of a bell the players begin
to thread buttons, using only one
hand. Naturally, if both hands were
allowed, several buttons could be pick
ed up and threaded easily; but with
one hand button might be pursued
with difficulty. and finally secured
by another player.
At the tap of the bell the threading
ceases, and the one who has succeed
ed in making the longest string is
declared winner.
OF course this may be played pro-
gressively, the buttons being un-
threaded and left on the table each
time, and tally kept by means of
score-cards In this case clever
score cards can be made by using the
large two-eyed buttons used on un-
derwaists. Glue them on cards, and
paint nose and mouth, hair and eye
lashes on the buttons, letting the two
holes serve as eyes. Then paint bod
les on the order of the "goop," and
you will find it very easy to make
most comical looking figures.
Thread a needle, and stitch through
the card leaving a strong knot on the
wrong side. Let the needle hang
down, and at each progression,
thread on small button of some pc
culiar sort,-gilt beads might be
used,-and put the needle through
the card again, so that the button

its stages, from the roulette wheel
to the dice box but Saturday we
were permitted TO see one OF the
greatest gambling games on earth
played in an open business house of
our own city. This was a game of
chance a game of lottery, where the
prize was concealed behind heavy
brown paper. thoroughly tied and

company. Discouraging. indeed. was
the game TO the man who plunked
down his gold and silver and racked
off the jack pot of old dirty socks
and buggy bedding. But with all this
disbursement some where in the
game there was an air of gain. for il
takes a winner and loser to play
such a game. The winners of this
game could easily be picked out as
they stood back of the table dealing
the cards. on their faces there was
smile half concealed with mock
earnestness.
Like the salted mine in the days of
AZ, this gold mine of the American
Express company's must have some
salt in the appearance of a gold mug
set. How freely did the auctioneer
applaud the fact that he once sold a
trunk with a thousand yards of silk

press company. already made over

Was there a minister OF the gos-
pei who crossed the threshold of this
gambling den Saturday, the one man
on whom we depend for the help of
God? Was there an officer of our
city there, the one man to whom we
depend for the administration OF our
law? II there We're such men there
l would like to ask them if they did
not feel that the poor wife and daugh-
ter of some of the men who were lur-
ed into that den did not need the
money which was so cherishly handed
over To the American Express COM
pany. l do sincerely hope that some
one with the authority will take it
upon their shoulders to see that such
gambling game shall never enter
the limits OF this city again.
Respectfully,

These were the words of Shake

where all corrupt and illegitimate

NO "GUM SHOEING."

Before the Jackson club meeting in
Portland the Champ Clark manager
for Oregon asserted that any one of
four democrats can defeat Taft this
fall. He wants Clark nominated on
the plea that anybody can get there
so why not take Champ.
1t is a sickly appeal and one that
oregon democrats are not likely to
heed. If the democrats of this state
are as progressive as they have been
in the past they will want a candi-
date concerning whose political views
they know something. They will not
favor a mere good fellow, however
wholesouled he may be as their stand
ard bearer A gentleman of that type
now occupies the presidency and he
does not give satisfaction.
Oregon democrats should be es-
pecially anxious to know how their
candidate stands regarding the Ore
gon system This promises to be the
real important issue in the coming
campaign. Oregonians know where
woodrow Wilson stands. He is
strong. clear minded champion of di-
rect legislation and direct primaries.
No one knows about Champ Clark's
views because he has never expressed
himself
The logical thing will be for Ore
gon democrats to vote for Woodrow
Wilson at the primaries in April. The
democratic party will make blunder

Save Your Freight Bills

A peculiar condition of affairs has de-
veloped in regard to the refunding OF
money by railroads where an excess has
been charged on expense bills. In sew
eral instances recently an expressman
states that refunds for overcharges have
been made, but that unless the original
expense bills were forthcoming the
money could not be returned to it's right
full owners. As q general thing people
who are not in business do not retain
expense bills. They pay them when
presented and destroy them. In check
ing over these charges later it is N
times discovered that an error has been
made, and the excess over the correct
amount will then be refunded provided
the original expense bill can be found.
A duplicate expense bill will not be fur
nished by the railroad company. neither
will a receipt be taken for the amount,
hence if the original bill has been mis-
laid the shipper cannot get his money,
which will remain with the company.
A peculiar condition of affairs.

claim that this would remove the judici-

Record is OF the contrary opinion and
believes that il would plunge the judici-

this method would secure the selection

Of recall in cases where the judges
prove incompetent, corrupt or immoral.
In fact the recall is the keystone Of the
