NO MANSION MISTRESS.

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 4.-There will
be no resident mistress of Pennsyl-
vania's 100000 executive mansion this
winter. Miss Mabel Brumbaugh, the
Governors daughter, will not give up
her duties in the Friends Select
School of Philadelphia, where she is
teacher, and will therefore be Wis
itor at the Mansion only on weekends.
This decision of Miss Brumbaugh's is
said by her friends to be characteris-
tic of the Brumbaueh conception of
duty.

MEXICAN REFUGEES.

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. 4.-The dis

brought two interesting refugees to
Los Angeles. These are Sonora e. G.

of Sinaloa, and her sister, Senorita

Hester hurried away and bought
the food and the cap for her step

was the old beggar waiting for her.
Hester gave her a loaf of bread

Hester
And then the strangest thing hap

the old woman, loaf upon loaf piled |
up beside her; the ground was covered
with apples, bag of meal was lying
on the ground, and when Hester looked
at her basket it was filled, and so
heavy she could not lift it.

Hester.
Yes, 1t does," said the old woman;

Wives Here and Abroad Contrasteo'

The American wife and the English
wife do certainly regard certain mat.
tiers from an opposite point of view.
Both are good mothers, excellent wives
and interesting, intelligent women.
But they differ decidedly in many char
acteristics.
There is more privacy in the Eng
lish woman life than in that of the
average American. Her domestic life
is Quieter, not lived so much in the
public eye, so to speak.
1t is hard for the American mind to
adequately grasp this love of privacy
in domestic life which is strong note
in the character of the women of Eng
land. The latter are fond of social
life and lead by no manner of means
a quiet life. But the women of Eng
land strike me as more devoted to
their homes, and more contented to
spend quiet evenings in the home than
the women of America.
Take the very construction of the
houses, for instance. The English
woman has her garden fenced around
by iron railings or high stone wall,
SO that it is impossible for the curious
stranger to gaze within at will. The
garden gate is locked, and only by
ringing a bell can admission be OBJ
tanned.
On entering the house itself, which,
by the way, is exceedingly substantial
and built of stone, one always notices

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
HESTER AND HER GOLD.

Once upon a time there lived wo-
man who had two daughters, Jane,
her own daughter, and Hester, her
step-daughter, Jane, would never help
her mother and spoke cross to her
many times; but Hester was good
girl and helped her step-mother, and
never said unkind things.
They were very poor and one day
Hester was working in the garden
wondering if the vegetables would
crow and keep them from starving
when she saw something shining in
the earth.
She picker it up and found it was a
piece of gold. She pushed aside the
earth and found another piece she
hurried into the house to show her
good luck to her stepmother and sister
where did you find it?' asked Jane
When Hester told her, Jane hurried
out to the garden and dug around the
vegetables, spelling some of them in
her eagerness to find the gold, but she
did not find it, and she came back to
the house feeling very cross.
you should give me one piece" she
told Hester. "The garden belongs to
me as much as YOU
81 shall spend it all for food" Hes
ter replied, "and you will receive as
much as anyone"
But Jane was not satisfied. She
wanted the gold; ana so Hester gave
her one of the pieces.
The next morning Jane said q
am going to the city to buy a silk
gown"
"You are a selfish GIRL" said her
mother Hester has given you half
Of what she found, and will spend the
rest for food, and you are going to the
city to spend your gold for dress for
yourself"
Il am tired of living here" replied
Jane, "and l am going to buy a silk
gown and live in the city," and she
went out of the house without saying
"Goodby to her mother or Hester.
She had walked along only a short
distance when. she met an old beggar
woman.

can do so without making a fool Of

for instance, but he would hate to be
caught at it. He finds it more to his
taste to go about the business of max
ing war quite as if nothing unusual
were happening. Thus he prefers a
song which has nothing to do with
heroics.
The real living feature of the song,
he adds, is the flowing rhythm of the
refrain. with its faint suggestion of
ragtime. 1t has the added merit of
limited range-scarcely more than an
octave. But "it is all born of an in.
timacy with the psychology of the
music hall goer which our best com.
posers do not attempt to assimilate."
There are several hundreds of per

Soil Requirements.
In conjunction with this study of
Oregon's crops, Professors Scudder
and Ruzick will present a study Of
the soil requirements of each crop
and the most profitable rotations for
each type of farming. They will also
discuss the value, preservation and
correct use of manures and fertiliz-
ers, and the various treatments for
acid soils. Oregon is a land Of
varied soils and there will be lee
lures, demonstrations and round
table discussions of the good and bad
features of each of the chief soil
types of the state and the crops and
treatment best adapted to each. The
fundamental facts relating to the
physical problems Of the soil, in
Guiding soil structure, soil moisture,
heat and air, soil bacteria, and plant
foods, tillage operations, will be
presented in lectures, both illustrated
and non-illustrated, and by demon
STATIONS in field and laboratory.
There will be special laboratory and
field practice in sampling and judg-
ing soils.
Work in Soils.
The work in soils will be assisted
by the Department of Ba~cteriology,
which will present the results Of Its
experiments in inocculating and lin
ing soils, and other special features
of soil management that should be
known to every farmer in both East
ern and Western Oregon. The De-
partment of Horticulture will pre-
sent the question of the proper soils
for horticultural purposes.
Illustrated lectures will be given
by DR.. w. w. Atwood on the subject
of Plant Physiology. Those bearing
directly upon the subjects Of crops
and soils are: How Plants Draw

Sugar Beet Industry.

The first b~eet.sugar factory in the
United States was erected in Phila-

success and "a dismantled. In 1853
Brigham Young imported a beet mill
to Utah from France and Peter Mag
mes set a small n up near Denver
in 1860. The first successful factory
was built In 1870 at Alvarado, Cal,
and was in operation until 1918, when
it closed down. 1t is estimated that
100000 900 is now invested in the
sugar beet industry of this country.
The sugar supply Of the American
people is drawn from three main
sources. These are: Domestic beet
sugar produced In II states from
Ohio In the East to California in the

in fact almost annihilating, the militia
under the brothers James and George
Clinton.
George Clinton, gathering the rem
nant of his defeated troops, estab-
lished his quarters at this old Falls
house. To this house, on October 10,
was brought a British prisoner upon
whose person was found a message
from the British Clinton to Burgoyne
which. if it had been safely delivered,
might and doubtless would have had
the effect to have delayed Burgoyne's
surrender at Saratoga. giving time for
a conjunction of the two British
armies. In fact, similar message was
delivered about a week later. Bur-
goyne, with suddenly revived hope.
hesitated, delayed, endeavored to pro-
crastinate negotiations.
But happily it was then too late:
Burgoyne was compelled to surrender;
Saratoga saw the ligh tide of British
dominion.
The suffering of the troops that
winter was most deplorable. 1t prob
ably was somewhat worse at Valley
Forge (for those very words have be-
come synonymous with patriotic
wretchedness), but then the army
elated by the victory of Saratoga,
was buoyed up by hope of action.

John Armstrong, aide-de-camp on the
staff of General Gates, was the mouth
piece. In letter-calmly considered
now, after the lapse of more than a
century, not unworthy of the occasion
and very masterpiece of influencing
literature-he portrays the condition
of the army, their hopelessness and
the supineness of the continental con-
gress. His stirring words must, l
think, be recalled by many.
You remember (having reviewed
the wrongs and the just complaints of
the army with what a burst of right
eous indignation Armstrong ends his
forceful address:
"'Can you consent to wade through
the vile mire of dependency and owe
the miserable remnant of that life to
charity which has hitherto been spent
in honor? If you can, go and carry
with you the Jest of Tories and the
scorn of Wings; the ridicule and, what
is worse, the pity OF the world! Go
starve and be forgottenn
THE mutiny was quelled, harmony
restored, equity established in the tenn
pie; the letter of Armstrong was
penned at the Falls house, razed to
make way for the march of progress. "
