but four years ago he came here from
the wind swept fields of Kansas, just
as many did before, and we hope will
continue to to do. He was net Kan
san by birth, claiming Missouri as his
native state, but anyway, wherever
they came from is where real practical
farming is taught, where barn yard fer
tilizer is valued and straw stacks are
not burned up, but placed upon the
ground where nature intended it to be
placed.
With his wife he looked over farm
after farm and finally their choice fell
on a small tract in rich Kaiser Bottom
and there they began to build the home
nest, on what could but slightly have
reminded them of the home they had
left.

Sunday Is "Fun Day" Down
in Gay Capital of Argentina

Mayo, so startingly likb Partisan
boulevard, is flanked at one end by
the beautiful and stately capitol and
at the other by the presidential palace.
An atrociOus coat of old rose paint has
earned for this latter edifice the name
of the Rose Palace. It's most fitting
sobTiquet would be the 'tPink Palace
for Pale President. - Just adjacent,
the cathedral in the impressive style
of an old Greek temple, is also hope
lessly ruined by coat of dreadnaught
grey. Just why this hankering after
the paint pots is beyond me.
At the shrine of musical art, the
elegant Colon theatre, where Grand
Opera is adequately and artistically
presented all Buenos Aires nightly does
devotion.
Here the Argentine woman comes in
to her own and in exquisite evening
attire she sits for the nOunce in regal
equality with her lord and husband.
Not only to the strains of LeOncavallo,
Puccini and Straus does the pulse of
the Argentine respond. He sways as
rapturously to the snycopation of
North American ragtime as it is man
gled by every Ubiquitous hotel and
restaurant orchestra.
Toward the art of Isadora Duncan,
however Buenos Aires has remained
This undraped nymph of Terpsichore
injured to the cold and drafts of many
a Continental stage, has been forced
to retire shivering before the blighting
frost of her reception here.
And while on the subject of the
dance let me off Immediately with this
idea. The real Argentine Tango is
danced only by the primitive and ele-
mental natives outside or in the low
dance halls and dives within the city.
No cultured Argentine lady or gentle
man could or would do this dance in
its true elemental state. The Argen-
tine Tango that we know was evolved
in Paris and owes little save it's title
to the original native dance. Because
of the associations of the name when
the dance was first introduced down
here the smart set were very loathe
to take it up and even at it's height
it was danced but mildly in b. A. in
comparison with it's vogue in Paris
and the U. S. A.
SO here IS where your long cherished
delusion among the Argentine Tango
goes bang o.

THE NEW CHURCH ORGAN

L
For all their fuss and search:
They We done just what they said
they'd do,
And fetched it into church.
They re bound the eritter shall be seen
And on the preacher right
They we hoisted up their new machine
In everybody's sight.
They've got a chorister and choir,
Agin my voice and vote;
For it was never my desire
To praise the Lord by note.
I've been a sister good and true
For five.and-thirty year;
I've done what seemed my part to do,
And prayed my duty clear.
we sung the hymns both slow and
quick,
Just like tae preacher read,
And twice when Deacon Tubbs was sick
] took the fork and led.
And now their bold, new tangled ways
Is comm all about;
And !, right in my latter days,
Am fairly crowded out.
Today the preacher, good old dear,
WIN tears All III MS eyes.
Read 81 can read my titles clear
To mansions in the skies.
/ always liked that blessed hymn
! s'pose | always will;
1t somehow gratifies my whim
In good old Ortonville;
But when that choir got up to sing,
] cOuldn t catch a 1ord;
They sung the most dog-gondest thing
A body ever heard.
Some worldly chaps was standin near;
And when ! see them grin,
] bid farewell to every fear,
And boldly waded in.
| thought ia chase their tune along
An tried with all my might;
But though my voice is good and strong
| couldn t steer it right;
when they was high, tnen ] was low,
And also cOntrawise;
An / too fast, or they too slow
To "Mansions in the skies.
An after every verse you know,
They played little tune;

| started in too soon.
| pitched it pretty middlin high
| fetched a lusty tone,
But oh alas! | found that 1
Was singin there alone.
They laughed little | am told;
But | had done my best;
And not wave of trouble rolled
Across my peaceful breast.
An Sister Brown could but look
she sits right front of me;
She never was no singin' book,
An never meant to be;
But then she always tried to do
The best she could, she said;
She understood the time right through,
An kept it in her head;
But when she tried this mornin oh!
] mad to laugh or cough.
1t KEEP her head bobbin so,
1t zen most came off.
An Deacon Tubbs-he all broke down,
AS one might well suppose;
He took a look at Sister Brown,
And meekly scratched his nose.
He looked his hymn book through and

August beer sales exceeded last
years August sales by nearly 100000
barrels, gain of more than 81 per
cent. This increase alone consumed
1900 bales of hops, figuring half Il

may stimulate the Oregon hop market
somewhat. There is no apparent reason
for the disparity in prices in the Cali

was already out through the door as
he finished speaking. Twenty steps
brought him to the loggia railing. And
Golden knew that no time was to be
lost, for already the sea had crept to
the lip of the manor garden itself.
Get down to the wharf-cut and
bring the boats" he commanded. Then
he swung back to his household serv-
ants, ordering them to carry above
stairs everything they could seize.
Then, as the water rose about his
feet, he suddenly turned and rushed
back into the manor house.
"Margory," he called, like man
gone mad. "Margory, where are your"
But that call remained unanswered.
for the old negro nurse, at the first
shouts of alarm, had caught up the
child and carried her out through the
servants entrance, on the way to the
wharf-cut where she knew the boats
to be moored. The child had proved
too heavy for the quivering old arms,
so she had left the girl, with her kit
ten still clutched to her breast, safe
in the doorway of cotton-shed. while
she herself staggered out on infirm
old legs to seize an empty punt drift
ing by on the rising, water. But the
current was too strong for her, and
as the negress and boat were carried
away the water rose still higher about
the child's feet. Yet, thinking more

cftrants were punished, together with
that flower of Inquisitional ferocity,
the Spanish Screw-Jack, an elabora-
ton of the thumbscrew, in which a
prisoners hand could be inserted and
slowly crushed to a pulp. Yet cruel
as seemed these old-time implements
of torture, stained with the tears and
blood of another country, they were
no more cruel than the relentless light
In Golden's eyes as he confronted his
prisoner, tied and trussed in a black
oak chair close beside the old Span
fsh Screw-Jack. The drunkenness of
blind rage sang through the planters
veins as he watched his stalwart ne
groes thrust the ancient branding iron
into its brazier of hot Goals.
THAT is the hand that polluted her
body" his heart kept crying, as he
commanded the blacks to force Pail
doris free arm into the screw jack
"And now crush it," he called aloud.
He waited for some cutlery as the
screw tlgntened on heSh and bone.
But the Italian remained silent. Gold
en-, now white to the lips, ordered
the negro beside him to take up the
branding iron. For that is the face
a voice within the frenzied mans
heart kept crying, that violated her
facet"
The negro knocked the coal cinders
from the glowing iron. Palidori's mus
Giles hardened. But still he was silent.

him loose. And If he is seen on this
island, after an hours time, shoot him
like dog!"
A nervous sweat still showed in q
scattering of high lights across the
planters sinewy face as he locked him
self in his study and stared blankly
about the empty room. The wine of
| rage had already ebbed from his
blood. Exultation no longer shone in
his steely eyes. He crossed slowly to
the window and closed it. He failed
to see, as he did so, the stricken figure
that skunk like wounded snake out
through the garden shrubbery, the
| figure that nursed a crushed hand, yet,
| at the brink of the manor garden,
turned wrathfully about and held his,
uninjured arm above his head as he
said: MAY my other hand wither off,
if you do not pay, and pay thousand
fold, for this!"
But Golden neither saw nor heard,
for all his being was centered about
his own misery Of mind.
His face was still buried In his
hands when the old negro nurse
opened the door and his little daugh-
ter, Margory, in her nightdress and
holding a doll under her arm, crept
in to her fathers side.
Where is mammal" asked the child
at her fathers knee. Golden steadied
himself with an effort.
you have no mamma he finally
said, looking away.
But mamma was here"
1t was too much for the torn and
passion-tossed father.
Take her away" he cried out to
the old negress. For Gods sake, take
her away!"
Yet even when alone again his
agony Of mind remained with him, and
again he sat in stupor OF misery
before his desk.
He was reused by the sudden clam
or Of voices, the excited cries OF run
ming negroes. He stared stupidity
about him, pulling himself together.
Then he rose and went to the window.
AS he did SO negro, hatless and coat
less, staggered in through the study
door.

the child clambered up the broken tim.
bers of the cotton-shed to the roof
There she sat, calling forlornly for
her lost nurse.
Golden, in the meantime, ragged
| through the flooded manor house
threatening and storming and COM
handing his servants to find his child,
He was still deep il that agonized
search when three of his old serv-
| ants appeared with small surf boat
and called frantically for him to come,
while there was still time.
Golden, water-soaked and wild-eyed,
| refused their help, ordering them
away and proclaiming that he would
find his daughter. But as he STUN
bled amid the drifting wreckage and
fell against the boatside the negroes
dragged him aboard and pushed of,
for already the water had weakened
the manor foundations and the walls
were falling about them.
Their progress was slow. It was
with difficulty in those wild currents
that they threaded their way amid the,
levee timbers, outbuildings and melan-
choly debris Of the plantation. More
swiftly-moving, in fact, was a second
boat which one of the negroes sud-,
denly caught sight of.
Golden, rousing himself at his serv-
ants shout, saw that this second craft,
rowed by a bearded white man, was,
bearing down on a nearby cotton-shed
At the same moment that he caught
sight Of his daughter Margory on the
roof of this shed he made out the fig
ure Of Palidori himself directing the
movements of the bearded man 30,
frenziedly rowing the boat.
: my child-they will kill my child!"
gasped Golden.
Open laughter showed on Palidori's
sinister face, as with his sound arm
he held the struggling figure in white,
close to his side.
Have no fear Of that" he called
back across the swirling water, as his
bearded confederate bent to the oars.
''She will live. But she will live in
way that will leave you praying she
had died!"
