called by a correspondent in last week s
issue regarding the cherry situation.
While the Association was giving

were receiving more subtantial prices
speaking in general. With all of our
social societies there ought to be a
producers league that can keep in
touch with the consumers in our cities,
to the end that the middle man may be
eliminated. II costs something to raise
fruit and vegetables and the grower in
order to reserve proper protection
ought to devise some measures where
by he can get it.. The American
Woman's League has taken up the
matter and information in this direc-
tion will doubtless be freely received
by writing to Mrs. Lottie Harmon,
Newberg, Ore, state regent of the
League. In fact such steps have al.
ready been taken.

and burned.
THE car had gone on. It was the

The last issue of the Institution
Quarterly, the organ OF the state chari-
ties, contains a report of an investiga-
ton which was made into the death
OF one Of the young girls at the state
training school for girls at Geneva. The
story revealed is OF the most unusual
character This girl, with two others,
had attempted 10 escape from the in
stitution. not because they were dis
satisfied, but in response to q wander
lust that they could not resist. They
were living in the honor cottage,
where many Of the restrictions neces-
sary on other cottages were not en-
forced
The states investigator, in his re-
port, says the story contains the ma
terial for a book.
After telling Of the girls dash from
their cottage, the report continues:
The night was dark and the way
unknown. None Of them had been over
that part OF the state. Il was all
strange to them. They had no object
in view. They had planned nothing
The railroad offered them a route. and
they decided to follow it to a town.
The three girls had been walking
hand in hand They huddled together
between the two rails and stumbled
along over the ties.
Then Zoe said, Here are three
rails; let's walk on them, hand IL
hand One OF them stepped upon the
third rail Like a fash she fell and
uttered not a sound. She pulled the
other girls with her, and the three lay
upon the track lifeless.
Vida came to first, she says, and
saw her companions about her. She
rolled to one side and pulled Luly
with her. but Zoe remained. her body
stretched from one rail TO the other
Lulu came 10 as she touched the
ground free from the rail The two
girls began to call Zoe. but she made
no answer. They touched her, and
were thrown to the ground, blue fame
and sparks darting from their fngel
tips, burning their flesh and clothes
and adding TO the uncanniness and ter
ror OF the scene
They had never heard OF the thirt
rail They knew nothing OF electricity
One cannot fathom the depth of IN,
fright that such an experience ant

Beuinninq of the Drama.

The theater in the only sense that
is worth considering was born in

spring from feasts in honor of Bac-

found TO be out of place when intro

and comedy arose. The father of the
