WORLDS WONDER IN OREGON GYMNASTICS FOR THE EYES
California Artist, Now In Her Eight
ieth Year, Tells How She Has
Preserved Sight.

Mrs. Phoebe @. Taber, wife of G.
Major Taber Of Los Angeles, is prob
ably the Oldest active artist in Cali
fornia. She recently celebrated her
eightieth birthday anniversary at a
family reunion held at the home Of
a cousin, Charles W.. Taber, and yet
she plies her brush industriously ev-
cry day and says that she is turning
out as much work rs she did many
years ago.
And the most remarkable thing is"
she says, that / do not have to wear
glasses at all when | paint I have a
good north light, and | never wear
them. | believe my good eyesight is
the result Of instructions / received
from the first teacher | ever had. He
told me to take good care CO my eyes
above all else, and when ever I should
find that l had overtaxed them to go
to the window and practise eye gym
nastics' by looking first at distant and
then at near objects. i have done SO
and am glad Of it."
Mrs. Taber is a versatile artist Her
studio is lined with several hundred
Of her paintings, and they include por.
traits, figures, landscapes and many
paintings of California fruits and flow
ers. She exhibited seven paintings at
the worlds fair in Chicago and ex-
hibited in Paris in 1891 and 1892.

CHAPTER xviii.

The high pass and the insurrectos
were behind them now and the rolling
plains of Aqua Negra were at their
feet. To the northeast the smoke ban
ners of the Gadsden smelters lay like
ribbons across the sky, and the line
was not far away.
Yet, as they came down from the
mountains, Bud and Gracia fell silent
and slackened their slashing pace. The
time for parting was near, and part
ings are always sad.
But ten miles across the plain lay
Gadsden and Phil-Phil to whom Ora
cia was promised. There had been no
thoughts of him from the time they
sat together under the horse-blankets
waiting for the rain to pass until now
that the dangers were virtually over,
and but a short time more would place
them beyond the reach Of either ru-
rales or rebels. Bud thought Of the
duty he owed his pardner, even though
that pardner had played him false.
Great as was his longing for Gracia,
he could not forget that duty. Their
companionship had been but a thing
to forget if he could, or at best he
could only remember the sweetness
Of it, and must forget the dreams he
had dreamed as he watched beside
Gracia in the hills. He was taking her
to Phil, and all else must be sacrificed
for duty. d at,t az 1-
Bud looked far out across the valley
to where a train pulled in from the
south, and the sight of it made him un.
easy. He watched still as 1t lay at the
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1914-11-19

With hand half-raised and Jaw on
his breast he struck spurs to his fright
ened mule and went dashing oyer the
ridge.
The others followed by twos and
threes, some shrinking, some protest
ing. some gazing forth ~villainously
from beneath their broad hats. As they
looked back he whirled upon them and
swore he would kill the first man that
dared to turn his head.
After all, they were a generation Of
slaves, those low-browed, unthinking
poems. and war had not made them
brave. They passed on, the whole
line of bewildered soldiery, looking In
vain for the men that we're behind the
American, staring blankly at the beau
tiful woman who sat SO co~urageously
by his side.
When the last had gone by Bud
picked up his rifle and watched him
around the point. Then he smiled
grimly at Gracia, whose eyes were still
round with wonder, and led the way
down the trail.

station and, after a prolonged stare in
the direction of Aqua Negra, he refined
sharply to the north.
what is it?" asked Gracia, coming
out of her reverie.
"Oh, nothing" answered Bud, slump
ing down in his saddle. II see the rail-
road is open again-they might be
somebody up there looking for U.S."
You mean"
"Well, say a bunch of rurales."
He turned still farther to the north
as he spoke and spurred his faded
horse on. Gracia kept her roam be-
side him, but he took no notice, ex-
cept as he scanned the line with his
bloodshot eyes. He was a handbook
ing man now, with a rough stubble of
beard on his face and q sullen set to
his jaw. AS two horsemen rode out
from distant Aqua Negra he turned
and glanced at Gracia.
Seems like we been on the run
aver since we left Fortuna" he said
with a rueful smile. Are you good
for just one more?"
What is 1t now?" she inquired
pulling herself together with an effort.
Are those two men coming out to
meet us? Do you think they'd stop
us?"
That's about our luck returned
Hooker. But when we dip out of sight
in this swale here well turn north and
hit for the line"
"All right" she agreed. MY horse
is tired, but Ill do whatever you say,
Bud"
She tried to catch his eyes at this
but he seemed lost in contemplation OIL
the horsemen.
"Them's rurales," he said at last
"and heading straight for us-but
we've come too far to get caught now
Come on!' he added bruskly, and wen
galloping up the swale.
For two miles they rode up the
wash, their heads below the level of the
plain, but as Bud emerged at the mouth
of the gulch and looked warily ovel
the cut bank he suddenly reached FOL
his rifle and measured the distance tt
the line.
They was too foxy for me- he NUT

approaching rurales. But | can stan,

Hottest Springs on Earth Said to Have
Been Located Seventy Miles
From Portland.

Springs hot enough to cook beans
and boil eggs In three minutes have
been found within a short distance OF
Portland, Ore. They are on the Clack-
amas river, 80 miles south of Esta-
cada and 10 miles from Portland.
These springs are SO in number,
and one throws out a stream seven
inches in diameter. The springs have
been known to the Indians for many
a A French halfbreed named
Michel Arquetto, a trapper, hearing an
old Indian Of the Molalla tribe speak
of hot springs this side Of the range,
made an investigation and found
them.
The springs are supposed to be the
hottest in the world-220 degrees.
Beans have been cooked in the larg-
/. er spring with the same dispatch as
on a stove. Eggs, enceased in a mesh
of any kind, have been cooked in three
minutes. Even fish have been caught
in the Clackamas river and without
being taken off the line have been
dropped into the spring and in q very
brief time cooked to a turn.
The waters come from solid rock
and are strongly i~mpregnated with
salts. but not Of sufficient strength
to make tho taste Objectionable.
Many stories are told by the Indians
with regard to the wonderful proper
ties Of these springs and they have
been known to cross the mountains

Hole as they call ~.
