A wealthy timber man, S. Benson,
presented the city of Portland 20 bub-
bling drinking fountains. His object
is to keep men out of the saloons. The
horse editor can tell him how to sue
ceed, and it is very simple. Just have
some of the fountains bubble beer and
the others trickle booze.

says Marion county is two to one for
Taft. The assertion was made by a

that he does not desire ITO be taken

Lulu Glaser is playing Miss Dudle-
sack at the Hellig, in Portland. From
the comments of those who went down
from here to see her. she is also play
ing the people for bunch of suckers.
The play is decayed to the point of
offensiveness, not a live thing in It,
and Lulu is as cheerful as an under
taker, and as dull as a 'steenth SER
mon.

M Guizot. the well known French historian. while out walking in one of the public gardens of Paris noticed that he was being followed by a dis reputable looking and badly dressed individual. NJ. Guizot' was puzzled by the mans behavior, but instead of showing alarm he calmly sat down when he arrived at his favorite seat. The ruffian. without hesitation, came and sat down beside him and gave the historian so fierce look as to have dis concerted less timid man. But with delightful nonchalance M. Guizot took out his cigar case, abstracted a cigar and slowly lit 1t. The effect of this action upon his companion was remarkable. With a start and scowl the man suddenly rose and. muttering to himself. ''The man 1 want to kill never smokes" walked rapidly away. A week or so later the historian read in the newspapers that this same indi- vidual had been arrested for a violent attack upon a well known public off, cial who bore strong likeness to M. Guizot himself. The famous writer went home and smoked big cigar in honor of his narrow escape.

Anecdoto of Gounod.

Gounod was at one moment within an ace of taking holy orders. but on reflection he thought that the life of a priest would not suit him. He none the less remained firm and devout Catholic and adored religious music. On this point typical anecdote is told of him. It occurred during the re- hearsal of his "Drames Sacres'' at the Vaudeville theater. The manager call ed on him one morning and asked per mission to make a suggestion. "l think. mon cher naitre." he said, "that there is something wanting in your sacre. For example, do you not think that the Barabbas incident might be improved by a little more orchestral effect?" Gounod, without replying. hid his head in his hands and after two or three minutes of meditation suddenly exclaimed: No: decidedly no. Such a blackguard as that does not deserve more music. ."-London Graphic.

Sothern and Laura keene.

The elder SOthern had great repu- tation as practical joker. and to quote his sons own words: His nerve staggered people at times. l remember that in Baltimore he was once joined by that clever actress Laura Keene
 Laura Keene was very hot tempered
 On one occasion something went wrong, and she called my father to her dressing room and began to give him a terrific tongue flashing. in the midst of which he suddenly turned out the gas. How dare your shrieked the fascinating Laura. T can't bear to see pretty woman in temper said my father as he calmly lit the gas again."

Reassurinu "Miss Blake"

As they boarded the train they had every look. of being a bridal couple. The young man carefully escorted the young woman to seat. while the in- terested passengers smiled indulgently Then. extending his hand to the sup posed bride. he said in very loud voice. "Well. Miss Blake, the train is about to pull out: l wish you a very pleasant journey" and. doffing his soft hat. he hurried off the train. The pas. sengers looked disappointed.
 But the young woman seemed nerv. ous. By and by she called the porter and in whisper gave him some mys- terious errand. He came back in a moment and said in voice audible to every one:
 "Yo're all right. ma'am. He's in de smokin' compartment"
 Everybody smiled. and the bride blushed prettily.-Youth's Companion.

WHAT TO DO AND HOW
How to Be We'll Groomed, Though a WOrker-Even the Most TOil- some Farmers Wife Can
 Have Attractive Hands.

There is no phrase so pertinent to describe a woman's appearance as the words well groomed.'
 Of course I know that the average woman cannot spend money on Turk ish baths, manicures, and physical cul- ture specialists. But it is in the pow or of every girl Or woman to secure the superb cleanly neatness which counts far more than style.
 Take woman's hands, for example; they are either attractive or the re- verse. It makes no difference wheth- CT they are large or small. Abso- lutely clean nails, kept properly cut. with cuticle pushed back, mean so much.
 Perhaps the housewife with no ser want argues that she can't keep her hands in such condition. But she can she gives to her children.
 At night if she uses rose water and glycerine, and sleeps in gloves. she will find the skin is kept soft, white. and pliable. Though the nails lack the high polish of the manicure which to my way of thinking Is not attractive-they will at least be sym metrical and show no hang nails.
 If she must make fires, keep pair of gloves to slip on when ashes are to be removed or stoves blackened.
 Then again if she has to do her own washing, much of the roughness and hardness will be prevented if a thor oughly good soap is used. It will pay better in the end, for both the clothes and the comfort of the hands as well. It isn't the washing that causes trou- | ble so much as the hurrying out to hang up clothes with hands and arms not thoroughly dry. Here is where
 much chapping and redness begin, which increases to those calloused matches that after a time are unpleas- ant fixtures.
 I know a farmers wife who takes boarders in summer, with no help save | a woman to assist with the washing | She has beautiful hands and arms which she has kept in splendid condi- ton just by following these rules She takes also the extra precaution of pulling on the leg of stocking over her arms whenever she has to She often says her boarders like to get freckled and tanned, but she | doesn't. The balance is in her favor when comparison is made.
 Her garden is a joy. but you don't see her roofing into the earth without gloves. What she can do, others can by just a little foresight.
 with leisure and help to have un- slightly hands. But the worker need
 not feel discouraged, as she too, with a few pennies spent for rose water, glycerine, and cheap manieure articles can at only the expense of five or | ten minutes a day, get her hands in- | to a condition that will proclaim heI
