Benny Diary

Little Ben likes to write and so he
was very much pleased when mamma
gave him a diary. 1t had red cover,
and the date Of each day was prettily
printed on seperate page
You had better keep your diary on
the table in your room, "sad mamma.
Then you will always know where to
find it,"
Yes. mamma" said Benny. What
shall | write?"
This is New Years day" said NAM
ma, so you might write some good
resolutions"
What are they?" asked little Ben.
why, you might resolve not to lose
your mittens and books and toys, said
mamma, smiling
"Oh, yes!' said Benny. So he wrote
something on the first page of his
diary, and put it in his pocket. He
started to carry it upstairs; but ne
met Rover in the hall, and he had to
stop and wish him happy New Year.
They had good romp together, and
LuSu Denly saw ludC IL was SllON1A6.
So he ran out to find Tom, who had
given him severe snowballing few
days before; and now there was good
chance to pay him back.
The snow kept on falling for three
days, and Benny had SO much fun that
he quite forgot his new diary. But
one day, when Tom was shoveling
path, he saw something red in the
snow. What do you think? 1t was
Bennys diary. He had dropped 1t in
snow bank when he was turning
somersaults.
Tom opened it, and this is what he
saw in Benny's writing:
January /. am goin to make a
resolution not to be careless bout
losin my things"
And that was all that Benny mad
written. How Tom did laugh!
Benny looked sober a minute, and
then he began to Taught, too.
Well" he said, Il am goin' to make
a new resolution not to lose anything
more, never again.
And mamma says that he is keeping
this resolution pretty we'll for such a
little fellow,

newspaper man in Pendleton, was held
captive in the Mountain View Sani-
tarium, Portland, for 80 minutes Mon.
day by a maniac 1t took two at
tendants some time to force the mad
man to release his hold on his VIC
tim.
With friends, McCool went to the
sanitarium to visit an inmate with
whom they were acquainted. McCool
became separated from his compan-
ions and wandered into a ward where
man taking the liquor cure was con-
fined. The madman sprang at him
threw a belt around him and strapped
him down. At first McCool thought
joke was being played on him but
the actions Of his captor soon caused
him to change his mind and then ht
sought by strategy to secure his re-
lease. He attempted to talk to tn,
man sensibly but this did no good ant
then he endeavored to free himsel
by sheer strength.
| Back and forth they fought through
the ward until finally the noise of tn,
struggle attracted the attention Of TIVE
attendants who came to the rescue
They were forced to choke the mad
man into insensibility before he woul,
relinquish his hold on McCool.

with boiled water. barley or oatmeal
water. or some similar Cruel, then
usually an antacid-limewater or so,

GREEKS INSIST ON A
WAR AGAINST TURKEY

ATHENS, June 17.-War between
Greece and Turkey is inevitable, ac-
cording to the newspaper Hestia,
which is considered as voicing the ma
jority of Greek public opinion.
The government has not not as yet
received any intimation Of the nature
of the Sublime Porte's reply to the
Greek note, demanding that Turkey
cease its persecution of the Greeks In
Turkey and make reparation to them
for the losses incurred 1t is feared
here that, in accordance with the u.s.
ual method of Turkish diplomacy, the
Turkish note will contain vague prom
ises and denials and will seek to de-
| lay a settlement.
Public opinion is strongly opposed
to dilatory tactics, the Herita says
and will compel the government tt
insist that the prosecutions cease oil
war will follow at once. 1t is report
ed that there have been several en-
J counters between Turks and Chris
tans in the Asiatic litoral and tina
the Turks are concentrating arms ant
ammunition at various points. Severa
sailing vessels with Greek refugees
aboard, it is also reported, have beer
captured by the Turks.

ounce of boiled water or one ounce

FAMOUS WRITER SCOLDS
WOMEN OF THIS AGE

PARIS, June 17.-When the fem
mime kiss Is no longer something
marketable, but assumes its definite
value as thing that cannot be
bought, woman will have attained her
proper and predestined role on earth,
says Marcel Provost, the brilliant
academican, author, and student Gf
feminine psychology. in his new book
on women published today.
Provost urges that women put aside
her vanity and cease to be slave
to man. "women nowadays are cho-
sen by men," he writes. 1T is for wo-
men to see to 1t that 1t shall be the
pride of man that he is chosen as 4
mate by a woman.
IT do not believe In the alleged
bankruptcy of that absurd but charm
ing gesture known as the kiss. but
think woman ought no longer to have
to submit to 1t unwillingly; the.
should have complete liberty of in
itiative in love affairs
He scolds modern women for theii
weakness for immodest dress, but
adds:
II am convinced however, that the
good qualities of the woman of TO-
morrow will overshadow weakness Of
the woman Of today.

COAST CHINESE EXPECT
ANOTHER REVOLUTION

SAN FRANCISCO, June 17.-All UP
and down the Pacific coast plans are
said to be ripening in the various ori-
entail colonies for another revolution
in China. The same movement is be-
ing pushed elsewhere throughout the
country but 1t is on the coast that II
has made the greatest progress. The
campaign Is said to be under the gem
eral direction of DR.. Sun Vat Sen,
wh.> vas first provisional president
of the Lresent republic and was main
ly responsible for the revolution
which overthrew the Manchus. Sun
is in exile in Japan and President
Yuan Shi-kai is reported to have Of
fered s1.OOO,00O for his head.
In the United States the agitating
is being done by Y. P. Hsieh, for
whom, dead ralive, Yuan is under
stood to have offered 100000.
Hsieh has toured the country and
processes to have found strong finan-
cial backing. He is authority for the
statement that the revolt is already
simmering in central China and may
be expected to break out in full vol
ume within the next few months.
The agitators charge Yuan with
having undone all the work of the
revolution and established despotism
of his own under the name of re-
| Public. Some of them give him credit
| for being a sincere believer in a des
potic form of government for China
but they say they do not propose to
submit to it merely because he is sin
cere in thinking it desirable.
