SIDE TALKS
Which Had You Rather?
BY RUTH CAMERON

as it may appear they are happier on the whole than the woman whose husbands are good providers and even tempered but who omit the little amenities.
 Of course the matter depends somewhat on the form the husbands selfishness takes. l presume even the bindest wife could not be satis- fled with caresses if drunkenness or inideIty or habit of "losing his pay through a hole in his pocket went with it.
 On the whole it seems to me that l wouldn't want to say definitely that I'd be satisfied with a husband lat king in either quality. I'd have to say with the littlest Ruggles "a little of both if you please and I'm much obliged"

Has Lillian Really Solved tn
 Problem?

Dicky looked bit sheepishly at l me when Harry Underwood told him to go on with his story of the mys- terious millionaire who admired me. You see, Madge," he explained, Harry knows this elderly admirer of the story to see if he could guess the mans name from my description of him."
 The explanation was feeble enough. I guessed that the real reason tor
 Dickys rehashing of the incident t6 Harry Underwood was the vague un- easiness he felt concerning the mean ing of Robert Gordon's strange in tercst in me.
 How ridiculous you arc, Dicky!" said impatiently, for this discussion of me with Harry Underwood annoyed me extremely. As if MT. Gordon ever had any thought but q kindly memory of my mother in his asking to be introduced to me"
 "Who said he had?" retortcl Dicly with a shrewd, quick look at
 me. My checks flushed as I realized the tacit admission I had made. and then Harry Underwood joined the conversation.
 Robert Gordon, eh." he said tri- umphantly, but when he saw the chagrin in my eyes at having inad- vcrtently given him the name with which Dicky was tantalizing him, ne added soothingly: Don't you care, Mrs. Graham, l would have guessed it in another minute. There is only one man on Broadway who answers the description Dicky was giving, and that is Robert Gordon, The Quester.' '
 '"The QUester?' l repeated wonder ingly.
 '"That's what Broadway nas dubbed him. You must remember the chap l
 mean, Lil, the fellow l told you about who's always haunting tho cafes and sits alone as if he were watching for somebody"
 What Harry Said.
 I remembered Dicky's vivid de- scriDtion of the man, watching, al- ways watching," even as I turned ap- prehensvely to Lillian. She had been with me on tho day when the mys- terious MT. Gordon had first seen me at the Hotel Sydenham, and methodic- ally followed mo until he had found out my name and home. 1 had not told DlckN or lllS GSploldSe, lttu even managed to give him tho im- prcssion that I had never seen the mysterious stranger before the even- inr when Dicky had introduced him to me. Mr. Gordon, himself, at that time had spoken of seeing me before. and of his efforts to find out who I was but evidently Dicky had taken it for granted that I had been in ignorance of those efforts. At the first opportunity I meant to tell DiclSy the truth, but I hated to have it re- vealed to him by a chance word when we were in the presence of others Rut I need not have feared Lillian's 6iscretion. Her expressive face , showed no trace of knowledge, only interest and curiosity.
 "I certainly remember your yarns .bout him, Harry. Whether l have ever seen him or not is question which I am debating in my mind now" sine said lightly. I think Harrv's dramatic soul yearned to kid nap the gentleman and put him in n1avlet. melancholy smile, watchful waiting and all.'
 "I'd sure like to kidnap his ma zuma," Harry Underwood chimed in fervently. 'Wonder if l went to him and volunteered to be a sort of assist

CHESTY'S CHANCE.

Hirrocks,' said the coach Impress
lively, i know you have failed to make
the team for three successive years. 1
know, when you played on scrub teams
during practice games, you fumbled
every ball that was ever passed to YOU.
But have confidence in you, Hirrocks.
Swansong, the world IS greatest quarter
back, has just had his neck jumped on
in rapid succession by nine of Yale
ward s players, and is temporarily in
disposed. Without him we are lost
unless another great quarterback ap-
pears as though by magic. Hirrocks,
unis is your chance
Chesty Hirroeks set his jaw, rose
from the sidelines, agitated his scalp
in a slight smile, and stepped into
Swansong's place. The score was tied,
it was Yalevard's ball, and only three
minutes left to play.
" Hirrocksl" yelled the mighty crowd
hoarsely. /" Hirrocksl Hirrocks! Hickory
ham, slickery slam, Hirrocks! Hirrocksl
"They look for me to win the day,o
thought Hirrocks, and something inside
him told him he could do it. The ball
was passed to Stoosy, the powerful
Yalevard left hinge, and, swinging his
wonderful right leg in a complete circle
he booted it up, up, up, till it was caught
by an upper current of wind and car
ried clear over the Southfield fence.
Before it had time to alight, the fleet
Hirrocks had clambered out into the
street and had caught it. Only five Sec

was a kick over the goal. Shutting his
teeth and clenching his eyes, he let

His yells brought the dormitory jan
Itor and four classmates, who between
them managed to extricate his toes
from the bed-rail.

IRA WHITE WRITES A-odE
FROM CAMP GREENE, N. G.

A letter from Ira White, of the
Third Oregon infantry band, at Camp
Greene, describes that place as a beau
tiful spot, about three miles from
Charlotte, N. C. 1t is reported there
that 100000 troops will be assembled
lat Camp Greene for the winter. Hin
letter says, in part: 'We got good
glimpse of the south and its ways on
our trip. If we are here long we may
be talking the southern 'brogue' 1t
seems to me the farther south we came,
the blacker the colored people became.
TheSold plantations still have their
colored quarters which must look much
as they did in slavery days.
"One man asked me, where did you
all come 'FRONT.' Another wanted to
know if Oregon was as far away as
Oklahomie. Others thought street
ears must be something new to us. One
school ma am informed us that she
knew all about Oregon, that she had
seen it on the map. The colored folks
seem scared to death and look up to
this war as they did the Civil war;

THE SHOT THAT HURT

The first shot fired by American artillery against the
Germans was sent its way Saturday. and at the same
time the announcement made that American troops
were in the front trenches in France This should mark
the day. October 27 epochal in American history,
However a more stupendous shot fired, indeed a
genuine voley the day when in twelve hours the
American people after putting up four billion dollars
within few weeks showed what they could do and also
showed the boundess of the country by sub
scribng billion dollars in twelve hours. This required
the subscribing of about minute for the entire
twelve hours That is the biggest shell fired during the
war; and is eloquent to the Prussan sneers at
Americas weakness Germany points to the successful
floating Of her last loan for three billions but this makes
the amount she has raised in than three years butt
about 60 per than the United States has raised
in three months 1t is also an answer to those VINO call
Americans "dollar chasers These dollar chasers putt
up nearly 1900 tons of gold in twelve hours in the cause
of freedom and for the benefit of the whole world ln
the campaign that originally called for three billions
they put up within about four weeks about 5000 tons OF
gold or about onefourh of all there in the world The
shell Saturday marked Americas active entrance into the
war and the magnificent subscription emphasized her
assertion that she had entered into it with the intention OF
emaining until the menace of Prussianism and kaiser
ism was forever removed from the world The shell per-
haps did no damage to the enemy but the story OF Amer
ica's subscription of billion dollars in twelve hours
struck blow to the of Prssansm that Jared to
its foundations The German people will hear nothing
of this but instead will probably be told the loan was
failure but the kaiser and his advisers know it already

MUST USE WATERWAYS

1t is quite likely there will be few appropriations for
improving navgabe streams unless those sections blessed
with them put them to practical use The Upper Column
bia is notable example of the expenditure of vast
which are to large extent wasted With the short
age which will undoubtedly exist for couple of years at
least it would seem that Portland should wake up the
necessity of using the great water way and instead of
allowing the wheat of the inland empire to be shipped into
her front door and out of the back to Seattle the rail-
roads, that she would put enough boats to handle so
much Of the crop is within reaching distance of the
river and have it shipped from Portland instead of the
sound Of course just this wheat is finding it's way
east over the railroads owing to ship shortage but with
the harvesting of the next crop there should be also
launching of ship every few days that will have to go
into service between American Atlantic ports and Europe
and there service they perform beneficial as
carrying, each of them cargo of Oregon grain They
must carry this lumber and there should be enough
both Another boat line two from Lewiston to Port
land would prove beneficial to the wheat growers and
ainy equally to Portland. 1t would help head off
Seattle from the grain fields and by eliminating the
y 200 mile haul from Portland to that port would also help
solve the shortage problem Uncle Sam is everlasting
y right He should not spend another dollar in improv
ing water ways until those already improved are used
