lieved and yet vaguely conscious
of the Fact that she had beat
him to it. There had been Cen
eral Settlement, and he had fig
ured merely as Supreme Goat.
In his anxiety to get the
Kinks out of his own Record he
had failed to hold her up for
anything except a Pardon.
Before terminating the Peace
Conference, it was suggested
that inasmuch as everyone else
in the World had been notified,
probably it would be just as well
to let her Male Parent In on the
secret. Not that Father is re-
garded as a Principal in the up
to-date Household. Still, he is
useful as Super.
The old Gentleman was so
soft that he nearly tipped his
Hand. He gave Ferdinand a
regular Cigar and then stalled
for 80 Seconds before indicating
a Willingness to sign any form
Of Contract.
He pulled the Old One TO the
effect that the House would not
seem the same after Addie had
gone away, meaning that
Breakfast would be served in
the Morning and the Night
Shift abolished.
When Ferdinand got back to
bis Room and counted up, he
had to admit that Father was
the only Outsider who seemed
to be plugging for the Alliance.
But all petty Suspicious and
unworthy Doubts flickered and
disappeared when Nightfall
came and Queenie was once
more cuddled within the strong
right Fin, naming over some Of
the Men that he mustn't speak
to any more.
The Course Of True Love ran
smooth for a couple Of Days,
and then came a Letter from
His People, expressing the hope
that he had picked out a devout
Unitarian. Otherwise the Prog
eny would start off under ter
rible Handicap.
He knew that Adele favored
the Suffrage Thing and that she
had read a Book on how to re-
cover from Dance by lying
down and giving a Recitation,
but he never had suspected her
Of any real Religious Scruples.
Before he could tell her how
the Little Ones had been pre-
destined, she notified him that
her Kinsmen had been peering
into the Future and that all the
problematical Offspring had
been put on the Waiting List at
the First Baptist Church.
Here was a grand Opening for
Ferdinand. He resolved to make
a Stand and issue ringing u
timatum. He might as well tip
it off to her and the whole Tribe
that he was to be Caesar in his
own Shack.
So he went up to her House
ready to die in the Last Ditch
rather than yield 10 the advo-
Gates Of Immersion. After
viewing the Problem in all its
Aspects, he and Honey compro-
missed by deciding that the

An ObyiOus Solution.

After Cave Johnson had served his
long and brilliant career in Congress

rainy day in Jacksonville Wednesday.

the prospective bride all would have
turned out well. AS it is, the pretty
15-year-old bride, Minerva Withrow,
expects to get permission from her
mother and be married in the near

The young couple with as much
zeal as if an angry parent was pur-
suing them drove from their Medford
homes to the county clerks office in
Jacksonville for the license Wednes-
day afternoon. Goblet L. Smith, the
man in the case, was sent to a doc
tors office for a certificate, and while
there the clerk took precautions to
look up Miss Withrow's age in the
school directory, and found it to be
bue 10. This, of course, means that
the young couple will have to wait
three years or get Mrs. Withrow's
consent to the match.

After the Chickens.

There is considerable complaint
this spring of ''varmints" committing
depredations upon chickens. William
j. Carpenter, who resides at the head
OF Terrace street, reports that foxes
have been stealing his fowls, and that
though his sons have tried to shoot
Reynard he has proven too quick for
them. By the aroma on certain
streets on the north side it is evil
dent that 'skunks have invaded the
city and are after the chickens.
When the depredations of cats are
added to that of wild yarmints it is
no wonder that the owner of chickens
feels like violating the ordinance pro-
hibiting the discharge of firearms in
the city.

A Monster Celebration.

Grants Pass, the capital and me-
tropolis of Josephine county, which
has not celebrated the Fourth of
July for four years, her people dur
ing this period having helped various
neighboring cities to observe the ma
tion's natal day, is preparing for a
really monster" celebration on July

Individual citizens of Grants Pass
have raised several thousand dollars
to defray the expenses of the cele-
bration; the city, through it's mayor
and council, officially has donated a
large sum; and the county of Jose
phine has given the affair its official
sanction and an appropriation.
An aeroplane has been secured for
two days for flights and exhibition
and races with automobiles, motor
cycles and horses, which events will
be free to every one; the purses in
the horse race events will be con-
tested for by some of the best run
ners and trotters in southern Ore
gon; baseball will be furnished by
clubs from Central Point, Weed,
Grants Pass and probably Roseburg.
Foot races, motorcycle races, au-
tomobile races, log-rolling contests,
parades, fireworks, band concerts by
the famous Central Point band of 80
pieces, public speaking and a vocal
program by choir of 100 voices are
some of the features that constitute
two days of diversion during which
every hour is filled by program.
Grants Pass is justified in its esti-
mates that 10000 people, from with
in "a radius of over 100 miles, bor-
dered on the north by Roseburg, on
the west by Crescent City, and on the
south by Weed, Call, will be it's
