Was Married i'm Boston

w 49, ~'A$AA IVA ALE A1OSeOM
When she finally married it was
to Otto Goldschmidt, German plan
list she had met in Berlin. Gold
schmidt went to England while she
was there and both helped her in
her business affairs and played the
piano at some of her concerts. After
her break with Barnum in this coun-
try Jenny sent for Goldschmidt, and
he came over to be her pianist and
help manage the concerts she gave
on her own account. They were
married in Boston in 1852, but it
was not until some time after their
return to Europe that the marriage
became known.
Her strongest characteristic, how
ever, was her charity. Misfortune
never failed to appeal to her and
children were always her especial
care. The first medal struck for her
was in commemoration of her gift in
1848 Of $4,000 to the fund for the
education and support of pupils of
the Royal Theater School, Stock
holm. Jenny gave the entire pro-
ceeds of her first appearance in
Stockholm that year to the fund.
When she came to America the pro-
ceeds Of her first two concerts went
to a list of charities selected by the
Mayor Of New York. Her friends
estimated that she gave away
$4,000 during her stay in America,
while she had given away 100000 in
England the year before.
To One Girl, $4,000
Barnum says of her:
II know Of many instances in
which she gave sums of money to
applicants varying in amount from

THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH
ON THE JOB

The Episcopal Church, the Church
of George Washington and the major
ity OF the Founders of our Nation, is
always on the job. 1t Is one of the
very few denominations that reported
a gain in membership in 1919 Her
organization covers the entire country
and all our insular possessions. She
is the pioneer in the field of social
service and now maintains more hos.
pitals. orphanages, old peoples homes,
and kindred institutions than any
other organization in America. Her
efforts at making citizens of the
thousands of immigrants excels all
others.
Last year she launched upon three
year intensive program for the en-
larging of her efforts in public service,
a program that aroused the enthus
iasm of her entire membership, nearly
two millions strong, and now a years
history has been written of that pro-
gram. Next Sunday evening the Vicar
will speak of this history and all who
are interested in purifying and main
tanning our national life upon its an
cient high plane are invited to the
church at 1880 sharp.

THE RED CROSS AT HOME

TNhe Red Cross won the highest
praise during the war for its efficient
management Of the business of relief
both military and civilian. The prob.
lem of returning to a peacetime basis
which would take advantage of the
lessons Of the war was a huge one.
Many Of us who supported the Red
Cross during the war have become at
times somewhat impatient with its ap-
parent lack Of speed
Our suspense is now ended. This
great society has worked out for itself
a policy that will commend itself to
everyone. Among other activities it
proposes to bring back to every home
its knowledge Of hygiene and SANTA
tion so that every mother, yea, every
child may know those first principles
that mean so much to the health and
happiness of all.
The executive committee of your
Chapter has completed plans for the
introducing of this work throughout
the entire county. Next week we are
to be sent an accredited instructor
nurse to begin this work among us.
She will work under the direction or
Mrs. Harding of Newport and Mrs.
Howell of Toledo. Remember that the
information that she brings is free to
all. Her plan is to form classes of
women in different communities which
she will instruct. Consult either Mrs.
Harding or Mrs. Howell.

used to stand to house the trucks and
machinery that belong to the County
This should have been done years
ago. The County has lost good
many hundred dollars for the lack of
this protection. This county is going
through real change from the pio-

the necessary arrangements, with
Mrs. w. S. Hall as chairman.
1t has rained As days and nights. In
the olden days Noah built an AK when
it had rained 40 days and 40 nights
and the earth was submerged but now
in these modern times the Siletz River
has raised only about fifteen feet and
no one has any idea of building an
ark. The only Medicine Man" we
have on the Reservation now is Billy
Simpson. He is away in Southern Ore.
gon and we have no one now that is
able to stop the rain. The Indians
say the Great Spirit is mad (SulliX)
because OF the wickedness of the pao-
pie and the rain and storm are the
means he uses to punish them. DR..
johnson, Siletz Indian, was the Great
Medicine Man before his death. His
mantle was put on Billie Simpson ana
he now is the Great Prophet or Med
icine Man. DR.. johnson in his younger
days had an encounter with big black
bear. The bear broke Cne Of Johnson's
legs, one arm, tore strip Of skin off
his back, but Johnson finally sue
ceeded in killing the bear ard this feat
helped to make him great doctor.
The habits and customs Of the Indians
are much like the ancient Hebrews
with their supeIstitiOnF and habits of
living. The Indian worships the Great
Spirit in the Book of Nature. He

the green forest, the verdant vale,
the green vallies, the beautiful flowers,
the wild animals and a thousand
things that surround him which points
to the Great Spirit that made and
keeps them The Indian is true child
of Nature and believes he hears the
voice of the Great Spirit through the
roar of the ocean, the rumbling OF the
thunder storm, the flash of lightning,
the bark of the coyote, the hoot OF the
owl and the scream Of the wild ami
mails. The Indian is also spiritualist
and communicates with God through
the song of birds, the scream of the
panther and the soft, gentle ripping OF
the rivers as their waters pass over the
falls and cascades to be lost in the
great ocean.

Do we need a warehouse?
Judging by throngs of purchasers
passing in and out of Mr.. Robinson's
store along about noon every day. Mr..
Robson and his two clerks, busy as
bees, we wonder how he manages to
keep up his stock, when he can only
get boat as he can catch it. A ware
house would help much. He has en-
larged his store putting a square front
on it making it look fine, besides giving
him much more room for goods, while
to keep up his trade he must carry sew
.eral thousand dollars worth The
trade is growing every year, and with
good transportation it will be better
all around. This bit Of news is not
written to induce someone to put in
another store, as one is enough when
carried on as this one. Mr.. Robson
is sociable agreeable and his prices
are right. .
Walter Bones has moved back to his
ranch on Salmon Creek. His exper-
ience in the Valley was not the best,
and was glad to get back to his good
home.
William Bones who left here for
Canada has returned and wishes he
had back what he has lost.
A new school district has been form
ed around Taft, and a new school
house will be built soon, which we
hope will do the city credit. All the
school houses in this end of the County
are up to date, and credit to any
