The Relative Who Never Abandons
One Afflicted With insanity.

"It's funny thing about lunatic's
relatives" said the superintendent Of
an insane asylum. There are reliable
statistics about the way lunatic's
relatives stand by him.

off. A little truer than wives hus-
bands are. but only little. Next IA

A. Koreans Shop.

Shopping in Korea is very grave
and solemn task and occupies the mas
ter OF the house the greater part of
the day. In the market here he pur-
chases his provisions, cooking utensils,
linen suits. hats, sandals, tobacco, and
the native drink. liquor obtained
from fermented rice. Only one article
Of the same Kind is purchased from a
single store. 1t would he an offense
against Korean etiquette to buy a
dozen at time. as this would de-
plete the stock too quickly and give
the shopkeeper the trouble and work
Of restocking before he was ready. 1t
will therefore be seen that wholesale
orders are not welcomed in this odd
country; little and often" appears to
be the Golden Rule in buying. Wide

Less DOdder in Alfalfa.

There is much less dodder in al
falfa seed grown in Oregon and other
northwest states now than formerly.
The number of samples examined
containing dodder at the Oregon Ag-
ricultural College has decreased from
almost one-half three years ago to
about one-fourth at the present time.
The tests also showed that the de-
crease in the number of dodder seeds
IN one pound of alfalfa seed is fully
as great. The marked improvement
in the purity Of the alfalfa seed is
due to the extensive tests that have
been made and the rejection of in
tested seed by dealers and farmers.
according to Miss Norma Waddle, ex-
pert tester OF the cooperative labo-
ratory. Miss Wsddle also calls at
tention to the fact that the new state
pure-seed law prohibits the sale of
dodder-infested alfalfa seed. Chill
dren may be taught that when dodder
has been eradicated from Oregon
fields homegrown seeds will be
bought more largely by Oregon farm
ers. This will be a great advantage
to the farmers who grow the seed for
sale and to the farmers who wish to
buy seed to SOW. Can any boy or
girl tell how it will help the farmer
to buy "Made-in- Oregon" seed rather
than imported seed?

dogs to play golf?" A younger lady
said she knew exactly how the game
was played. They get what they call
a caddier TO hunt about in the grass

they hit it into Il rabbit hole" a third
lady. who had evidently enjoyed near

ENGLAND'S CURIOUS WELL.
It's Water Never at the Same Level
For Two Consecutive Minutes.


For Two Consecutive Minutes.
Two miles out from Settle, ON the
main road between that town and In
gleton. Yorkshire. England. there is to
be found one of the most curious of
natural phenomena in the shape Of the
famous ebbing and flowing we'll of Gig
gleswick.
A small, unpretentious little struc-
ture. scarcely to be. distinguished from
the ordinary trough Of water to be seen
on many of our country roads. it is yet
one Of the most quaint and fascinating
spectacles one could hope to see. AS
the name implies. the we'll has the ma
ture of tide. It Gibbs and flows con-
tinually, though by no means with reg
ularity.
Sometimes the privileged traveller
will see the Oblong stone basin filed
with clear water; then. even as he
gazes into its pelucid depths, the wa
ter gradually sinks until the trough is
half empty. or 1t may be more. There
is barely time to wonder at this strange
thing ere, with a rush and whirl, the
trough is again full. The ebb and flow
continue with more or less marked ef-
feet. and the water is never at the
same leve! for two consecutive min.
utes. Sometimes the outflow has
scarcely begun before the basin again
fills. but at other times the trough Is
almost emptied. - Wide World Maga-

Pioneer WOman's
Interesting History

Mrs. Byron Cole. who died at Ash
land on the sixth, was born in Put
nam county New York in 1888. Her
maiden name was Chloe Ann Knox
and her grandfather was a veteran
of the Revolutionary War. In 1859
she was married to Byron Cole-also
a native of Putnam county-who had
come to Oregon in 1851 with his
brother Rufus to make his fortune
and returned east to claim his bride.
They came to Oregon in 1850 by way
Of the lsthmus OF Panama.
Byron and Rufus Cole on their ar
rival in 1851 took up a donation
claim in the mountains, seven miles
south of Siskiyou. They established
a stage station and for several years
ran the stage route in partnership
Byron Cole selling out his interests
in the place to his brother before go
ing east for his bride.
Locating at Upper Coles, Mr.. and
Mrs. Cole embarked in agricultural
pursuits-at one time owning 900
acres of land and a large amount of
stock. They subsequently sold five
hundred and eighty acres of land, re-
tanning three hundred and twenty
aeres, on which was mineral spring
of superior medicinal properties.
The spring becoming noted, the
Coles erected hotel near it in 1884
and made it popular summer resort.
the adjacent railway station on the
Southern Pacific being named Coles
tin. This hotel Mr.. and Mrs. Cole
managed successfully until his death
in January. 1894.
Mrs. Cole managed the hotel for
about six years after the death of Mr..
Cole, carryingiit on until April, 1900,
when she rented the property and
took up her residence in Ashland.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cole were among the
many worthy and respected pioneers
of Jackson county. They came to
Oregon when the country was new
and the settlers few in number and
far between. For many years they
were actively identified with the ag-
ricultural interests of this section of
the state. Taking up land that was
yet in its original wildness they la
bored energetically, and with justifi-
able pride and satisfaction. watched
its gradual development from a for
est and brush-covered tract to a we'll
improved ranch, yielding abundant
harvests and giving sustenance to
large herds.

themselves through the slightest

only thing which has kept the pro
