WHAT ONE BOY DID.

The New York City Directory says
Henry L. Doherty lives on Riverside
Drive. The city directory is wrong.
Sometimes Mr.. Doherty takes his Sun
day dinner at his apartment on River
side Drive. His real home is in a
tenement house in lower New York.
Mr.. Doherty is president of the
Cities Service Co., which is the larg-
est public utilities holding concern in
the world. 1t includes ninety sub
sidiary companies. The investment
of the company represents approx
mately $275,0O0,00O. Three million
people are dependent on these COM
panies for light, gas, transportation,
water and power. Il Mr.. Doherty lives
in the tenement, to save time. He
found that he lost much valuable time
going daily from his home on the
drive to his Office. Upon exploring he
found his tenement home only five
minutes walk from the Office.
There is not piece of solid silver
in this seven-room apartment, and
! Mr.. Doherty says he is glad of it.

with my spools.'
ooh, could you?" cried Myrtle, tEe-
,lightedly well, I'll get some spools
"a whole lot of them-and you shall
show me how to make an Old-fagh-
toned chimney"
Myrtle's mother smiled her assent,
so they set to work. They made the
house on plan that Myrtle had never
thought of, then Topsy showed her
how she had made the chimney i'll
her house, although her blocks were
those she got from the men who were
building across the street.
When they had the chimney up
Topsy laid some toothpicks on the
hearth, then she set the dolls cradle
near, ito keep warm, she said.
They sat the toy piano across enc
corner; then Topsy thought of some
thing else nice, and, with much laugh
ter, they made a lady of spools to sit
on the piano stool, because, as Topsy
said, the spoollady would sit UP
straight, and the doll-lady would fall
off.
They set out the table and got out
the dishes; then Topsy spied q piece
of old linen from which Myrtle's
mother was cutting some dishtowcls,
and she said to Myrtle, eff your
mother will let us have the colored
border, Well cut out the birds in it
and make something pretty
OF course mother was glad to let
them have the pieces; then she gave
each of the little girls pair of scis-
sors, and they got to work to cut out
small, round pieces piece had
red bird in it. These were used as
doilies to put under the plates and
saucers. They nearly covered the
whole table with these doilies, and
even placed some on the dresser in
the dolls bedroom, and finally they
made a scarf for the little rocking
chair, pulling out threads to make a
fringe.
Mother, mother, just look. ] never
did have such a pretty house before"
cried Myrtle, gleefully.
4 think you'll have to thank Topsy
for giving you some new ideas,
laughed mother; "but now it is dark
almost, and shall have to send Topsy
home as soon as | can get a piece of
cake and an apple for her.
And I'll give her one of my dolls
said Myrtle, generously.
After Topsy was gone, Myrtle said,
why, mother, could have had
good time before if I'd just have made
myself do things whether | wanted to
or not"

PRESERVING EGGS.

Eggs are much cheaper in the spring
than they are later on in the year,
and spring eggs can easily be kept
over until the high price season by
putting them down in water glass,
which can be purchased at drug stores
for about 25 cents a quart.
A quart of water glass mixed with
twelve quarts of water that has been
boiled and then cooled will be sufh-
cient to preserve about fifteen dozen
eggs. A stronger solution should be
used for eggs that are to be held six
to eight months or longer.
Stir the water glass and water mix
ture until thoroughly mixed. Use a
stone jar that has been. thoroughly

cleaned. The eggs should also be
cleaned. Cover the bottom of the jar
with eggs stood up on end, the small
end down. Pack the eggs so they
will cover the bottom. The eggs can
all be packed at one time, one layer
upon another, or the packing can be
done from time to time. Pour in the
mixture so the top layer of eggs will
be covered fully two inches. A thin
coating of paraffin poured over the top
of the water, glass mixture when the
jar is filled will prevent evaporation;
otherwise the mixture will require re-
placing as often as evaporation makes
it necessary. Store the jar in a cool
cellar.

PRETTY HIGH HILLS.

A distinguished astronomer once
took the trouble to measure in several
paintings the size of the moon and to
tains shown in the same picture. He
found that the average height of the
hills was about forty-three miles,
while one giant peak raised it's head
more than a hundred miles above sea
level TURNER, who was one of the
greatest masters of landscape compo-
sition and coloring, frequently exag-
gerates the height OF the hills with
the intention of comforting upon them
majesty which otherwise they would
not possess.

THE HAsTlLY-WRlTTEN LETTER.


A girl who in college had made a
speciality of English composition was
ambitious to secure a high-school po-
sition, where she could teach that
branch of study. But as no such posi-
ton offered itself, and as it was neces-
sary for her to earn living, she
secured position as teacher in one
of the lower grades of her native town
the year after her graduation.
Later in the winter, she heard Of a
position such as she wanted in another
city of the State, and at once she
wrote to the chairman of the School
Board, applying for it, and sending the
recommendations She had secured
from her professors at college.

Story of Salem's Bridges
$4,000 Owing on First;
$2I, ,OOODue on Second One

The cost of building bridges across
the Willamette at Salem is going up.
The first bridge was built in 1886
and the cost was $4,000. 1t was built
within the estimated cost.
The second bridge, built in 1890 cost
$S4,401. The estimated cost was $59,-
557.
The third bridge to'be erected before
August l, 1918, will cost according to
contract, $2379O1.
Away back in 1870 there was consid-
cradle talk in Salem of building a
bridge across the river at the foot of
State street. A company was formed to
build toll bridge, but no action was
taken. Salem then was a city or about
1000.
On March 6, 1886, according to the
minutes of the city council ga large and
enthusiastic lnass meeting of the citi-
zens of Salem assembled for the purpose
of devising means to build a bridge
across the Willamette" a"
A government engineer recommended

cd the bridge further north and Center
street was chosen. Under the act of
the legislature of October 81, 1876, the
city council decided to submit the prop
osition of expending 100000. A bridge
committee was appointed of John H.
Albert, chairman A. f. Wheeler and
John Hughes.

The city council submitted to the vo-

issue, 663, and those opposed, 20. Three
blanks were cast.
John H. Albert as chairman of the
council committee reported July 20,
1886, that a contract had been closed.

The First message


LuXburg's first message dated May
10th noted "a great change in public
feeling, in Argentine, as the result
of the settlement of the Monte case.
In this note LuxbuFg counselled that
two small Argentine steamers nearing
Bordeaux then should be spared if
possible or else be 'spurlos versenkt y
sunk without trace.
LuXburg had access to news of the
secret sessions of the Argentine senate
for on July third he cabled in his code
that the acting minister had declared
Argentine would demand that Berlin
promise to sink no more Argentine
ships.
The penalty was to be a breach, but
IMxburg suggested refusal and, if nee
essary, Spanish mediation.
On July 9th, following up his sinis-
ter moves, Luxburg advised that there
be no show of concessions on Germanys
part and that she postpone her reply
until she had heard further from him.
E At that time he saw change of min
listers coming and counselled his gov
ernment either to turn back the Ar
gentine ships cor sink them without
leaving any trace, or letting them
through"
Luxburg significantly suggested that
"they are all quite small. 3"
The state department refused fur

announce it had turned the messages

An act authorizing the city of Salem
to construct bridge across the Will
lamette river Plans were submitted
to the council that the bridge had been
accepted at total cost Of 49,901. The
city recorder was authorized to col
lect $4,000 from Polk county.
Polk County Against It.
Polk county had held out ON the
bridge and would not come in with
Salem and Marion county. But the citi-
zens just across the river wanted a
bridge and in order to hurry matters, a
citizens meeting was held at Brush col
lege and % citizens went on a note
agreeing to pay Polk county's $4,000,
provided their county court refused to
pay the county's share. However, this
was not necessary, as the city recorder
reported December Z, 1886, Polk county
had sent over a warrant for $4,000, but
without endorsement. It was paid by
A. Bush who sent it to the treasurer
Of Polk county for proper endorsement.
The city of Salem still owes $4,000
on that first bridge and is paying inter
est at D per cent. Inc DOnuS were re-
funded October s, 1910 and will be due
on October s, 1920.
Bridge number two has been hoo
doc almost from the day of its com
pletion. The City of Salem still owes
$21, 900 on bridge number 2. The bonds
were refunded April l, 1914, for 5000
and within the past three years $4,000
has been paid. Hence on the two first
bridges, Salem still owes $4l, 900 draw
ing interest at five per cent.
Went Out in 1890.
The big flood was in early February
1890 when the first bridge went out.
Water covered part of Salem known
as Peppermint flats and came up on
High street from Ferry as far as the
court house. The citizens at once urged
new bridge. The Marion county court
agreed to pay 10000 on condition that
Polk pay the same and that Salem pay
the balance provided the rebuilding did
not cost more than $4,000. If a greater
sum was expended, each was to pay one
third.

New York, Sept. s.-The richest race
of the season with the single exception
OF the Hopeful stakes at Saratoga
track, will be run off at Belmont track
this afternoon in the futurity for two
year olds, over course of six furlongs
The day opened with driving rain
that made heavy track certainty.
Papp, however, elected as the favor

even better chance of winning than if
the track was fast.
The winners s share of today's race

The futurity is one of the oldest and
richest fixtures of the American turf.
Its first running was in 1885, 1t was
not raced in 191112 and 1909 and
1913 it was run on the Saratoga track.
The race, unlike most Of the richest
