Five Will Get Prizes.

Mrs. Winnie Braden, Polk county S
representative at the Portland Land
show, writes that a petition was cir
culated among the exhibitors, and
largely signed, asking that the $500
offered in prizes be equally apportion-
ed among the five counties having the
best exhibits, which petition was ac-
cepted by the management as being
agreeable. Therefore, instead of two
counties receiving the $500 for first
and second prize, FIVE counties will
participate in the awards.

Judge Pugh Sends Offender to o.
coquan for a Month to
d, Rest Up.

That he might cool off after trampinE
about in the sweltering heat yesterday
afternoon. Mathew Fahey entered the
Patterson House, AIS Pennsylvania ave-
nue. northwest, and proceeded to a
bathroom on the third floor. He en-
tered the room and it was more than

Milton Patterson. proprietor of the
rooming house. told Judge Pugh in
the Police Court today, when Fahey
was arraigned on charge of being a
vagrant, that he did not mind the de-
PENDANT taking the bath. but that he
did not like the idea of him locking
himself in the bathroom and remaining
so long. Policeman Lusbaugh was
called to the place and arrested the
man.
Fahey told the court he went into
the place with the intention of engage
ing a room, but that he decided to take
a bath, as he was so warm.

The Barber

When to the BARRIERS shop. l
wander 1 always feel a total loss,
with whiskers sticking here and
yonder, till they'd disgrace Chi
nese joss. And, as he shaves, the
barber whistles, or huns some
cheerful, lifting air, the while he
amputates the bristles and
spreads some tonic on my hair.
He does not talk to me or bore
me, this most discreet of work
ingmen; he sprinkles talcum
powder DER me, and hopes that
l will call again. When from
his shop, all shaved, l sally, my
self-respect again is high; l don't
go sneaking down the alley, or
shun the keen-eyed passer-by.
I'm conscious of a transformation !;
no more | feel like twenty cents;
] ornament my sex and station;
/ will compare with other gents.
If BARRIERS ceased their helpful
labors and failed US in the hour
OF need. then you and l and all
our neighbors would lose our grip
and go to seed. We would de-
scend to low condition. and in the
sinks of sloth abide. for whiskers
kill all sane ambition; they're
fatal to an honest pride.

BRANCH RICKEY TALKS
OF SCOREBOARD OF LIFE
Manager of st. Louis Base Ball Team
Addresses Large Audience at Stew
enson Bible Glass.

That the "scoreboard" of life is SINH
lar to a base ball scoreboard was as
serted by Branch hickey, manager of
the st. Louis base ball team before the
Stevenson Bible class in the New
American Picture Theater yesterday.
Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson was in charge.
The scoreboard of life and the score
board of base ball are practically the
same" said Mr.. Hickey. "On the board
is detailed every play OFT game that
leads to the final score. All of us can
look back and see where we could have
done differently, with the result that
things with US would now be different:
Our lives are peculiarly within our
own making, SO that when we hear one
talking about the luck of some one else
and his own misfortune you know that
he has not taken advantage of all of
his opportunities. You can talk all you
want to about tie standing of the Ma
tionals or the Browns being due to
luck or the breaks as we say, but
there is no such thing. A person can
make his own breaks as 1t is paying
attention to the things we do that de-
termines the result"
