OLD MAIDS ALMOST EXTINCT

One of the most notable results of the advent of
in business is the swift passing of the class
known as old maids.
In some of the country districts old maids still roam
about seeking whom they may devour but in the cities
and larger towns they becoming extinct species.
When we now of middle age were young a lady who
did not catch husband before 30 called old maid
and all the who married to drunkards and
oafers that they had to take in boarders washing to
support looked down her and spoke Of her poor
Mary"
Nowadays a lady who does not marry is called a
bachelor girl and she has good ob her check book,
her face massaged her nails mancured her hair waved
lots of good clothes-and all the married women envy
her and say: 20, you clever creatureP
Old maids had no homes of their own but lived with
other people who did not want them but kindly gave them
board and clothes for doing the work Of two three
servants The bachelor girl of today lives in her own
pretty flat apartments attends to her own business
and her relatives very polite to her because she buys
shoes for their children and pays for little Ssies music
lessons
The old maid used to weep great deal and she had
yellow letter and faded The busy bachelor girl
keeps no yellow letter or faded rose She has roses in
her cheeks and she lives not in the past but for today and
the days to come
Perhaps the most marked line of distinction between
the old maid and the bachelor girl is this The old maid
wanted to marry and couldn't and the bachelor girl can
marry but won't,

THE LIGHTS ARE OUT, THE CURTAIN DOWN

At midnight tonight the lights go out on the great
white way and the fairy dream that energetic and un
afraid San Francisco made true, will vanish into
that realm where all dreams go to- The buildings will
be for short time silent and dead; for the light and
music and changing vibrant life will have departed.
The turnsties will cease to click and the busy
will be deserted for the end has to the great living
entity Just as it must come to all things.
1t is too yet to make any estimate OF the results
the great exposition will have the future of the coast
but that they will be far reaching and of tremendous i'm
porance assured Through its gates nearly nineteen
million people have passed. and among these countless
thousands from the east who came an admired and
who will not only come again. but will awaken the desire
in thousands of others to the coast and get at least
slightly acquainted with their country
The big exposition made possible by San Franclscos
grit and faith has done to enghen the east as to-
the scenic beauties of the United States and of its vast
ness than any other one thing attempted in the
try That it has come to an end will be regretted by
thousands whom circumstances prevented seeing it, and
who now will be unable to do so.
Oregon has received advertising through it the effects
of which will be felt for years to come and which will
assist in her growth and development as any other one
thing could do We owe debt of gratitude to California;
and we rejoice with the big hearted of that state
who backed their judgment with their coin that the first
proved correct and that the coin back to them
diminished in quantity AS reviews the event the
thing that mpresses most is that the old spirit of the gold
digging days is still extant The spirit that dared ALL
risked ALL feared nothing and won ALL The spirit that
defied earthquake fire and disaster such would have
appalled, most but which only stirred San Francisco tO
greater efforts and rebuilt the great city, and top Of it
created dream city which has stonished and delighted
the world The lights out in the great exposition and
its buildings dark but its glory will umne the pages
of our countrys history and the recollection of it be
pleasant memory so long as life lasts for all who visited it.

WHALE DANCE OF ESKlMOS
Peculiar Festlvlty That Gives the
Young Mon Chance to Choose
Their Wives.

A very primitive custom Of the ma
tives of the Boring and Arctic coasts
Of Siberia, a custom that has come
down from generations of savage an
cestors, Is the annual celebration of
the whale dance. when the Eskimos
select their wives.
When the sun moves southwark az
the end of the short summer season.
and the ice closes upon the northern
seas, the whales come down to open
water. Then in celebration Of thS
seasons catch the Ice jewellers as
semble for the whale dance, which
lasts FL days.
The great dance circle Is prepared
and In the center the dancers, both
male and female, perform the most
savage of evolutions and motions to-
the accompaniment of rhythmless
beating of the tom-toms and weird
chanting. The dance songs tell of the'
prowess of the hunters and of the his
tory of the tribe. The movements OF
the women are surprisingly graceful.
and they mean to show in their dance
that, as daughters of a great people.
they are possessed of all the qualities
such women should have. The meh
execute pantomimic scenes of the
hunt, and go through all the notions
Of the kill; they spear the ice bear,
STAY the walrus and seal, and finally
with extraordinary contortions, van-
quish the mighty whale.
