HELPED PAY AMERICAS DEBT
How Mrs. Monroe Was Instrumental
in Saving the Life of Madame
Lafayette.

An interesting sidelight on history
lies in the story of how the wife OF
James Monroe, fifth President, saved
the life of Madame Lafayette at the
time Monroe was American ambaSsa-
dor to France. Lafayette himself was
ip prison in Germany, and kept In
foul dungeon. Nine. Lafayette had
been seized by the Revolutioniyts. and
was confined in the prison of La Force.
and date had been set for her execu-
ton. The Monroes were very much
alive to the great debt America owed
the young aristocrat. and Mrs. Monroe
determined to do what she could.
She ordered the state coach of the
embassy, with its fiaring coat of arms,
to deliver her to the doors of the
prison of La Force, and once there,
calmly requested an interview with the
unfortunate prisoner. An interview
with a person sentenced to the knife
was unheard of, but the dawning
power of the United States was such
that the officials dared not refuse the
request Of the ambassadors wife. A
few words were exchanged between
the women, and Mrs. Monroe drove
away. The next morning she was
liberated, the French Revolutionists
fearing to execute her, and desiring
thus to secure the friendly attention
of the new nation. 1t was a daring
thing to do, for the results might have
been disastrous and all sorts of in
ternational complications might have
arisen.

CAT SCORED USUAL VICTORY
Japanese Legend Merely Another
Feather in the Cap of the Ever
Conquering Feline.

There is an enchanting story told by
the Lady Sci Shonagon, beauty of
Japan of nine centuries past, of the
emperor's favorite cat herself
spoiled beauty. She had received a
cap of honor and had been raised to
the third rank of NOBILITY, with the
title of Wiyobu-no Ototo, or "Chief of
the Female Attendants" and was
cat of many graces. Unfortunately,
on day of disobedienee, her lady-in-
waiting summoned the emperors dog,
Okinamaru. to startle her into good be-
havior. He barked Obediently, and
the cat dashed madly behind the
screen, where his majesty sat at break
fast, and sought refuge in his arms.
The emperor. much shocked, sent for
the lord high chamberlain, and pro-
nounced sentence on poor Okinamaru.
A thrashing and exile! The Lady Sci
describes him as hitherto happy deg
and much esteemed. But short time
before he had been carried in process
sion in a willow litter, with peach
blossoms and hollyhocks on his head !!
He was now an outcast on dog island.
"and none so poor to do him rever-
ence" He may possibly have found
life easier without the hollyhocks, but
1t is interesting to see that the eternal
eat is victorious as ever. The dog Is
yanquished the lady-in-waiting ruined.
and the cat lies in the emperor's lap
and purrs. SO was it always so will
it ever be, writes L. Adams Beck in
Asia Magazine.

published by C. S. Jackson, now OF
the Portland Journal, with John p.
Wagner just retiring as its editorial
writer. Clark Wood, now Of the Wes-
ton Leader, was local reporter. The
Tribune was in a small building owned

Oregon Motor Garage now does bust

1891 Judge Lowell became its editor
and continued until July. 1892.
The Commercial Association was or :
ganized several years later. chiefly
under the inspiration of Tom Rookie

$1,000. Judge Lowell was a member
Of that organization FOR nearly is

"Pendleton has been generous TO

tude Among the many visions which
have had, and in past years have
frequently expussed, is one that the
time may come when all the grain
grown in this county shall be manu-
factured here into cerials flour and
feed and all the wool produced in the
county shall be here manufactured into
wooden goods. If all the people will
get behind the current movements to
develop cheap electrical power, that
vision will be assured early realization.
Industrial activity will then buttress
and inspire agricultural life, and such
periods of depression as we are now
experiencing will not recur.'

LINCOLN AND REPEATING RIFLE
From the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
Undoubtedly one of the secrets of President
Lincoln's success in dealing with difficult prob
lens was his fine sense of proportion. He saw
the essentials and took hold upon them with a
firm grip. So clear was his vision and so logical
his mind that in studying complicated prob
lem he saw the controlling facts of that prob
lem standing up sharply and distinctly as
the great peaks of the Alps stand out from the
foothills below them. Consequently, he OBJ
tanned results with minimum of effort and
moved to his goal with the directness of we'll
shot arrow to the bullseye. The Scientific
American in its December issue gives true
story of Lincoln contributed by Mr.. Christie
pher N. Spencer, now 88 years old, who was the
inventor of practically the first repeating rifle.
Red tape was as much in evidence during the
Civil war as in the late war. Through the in
fluence of James G. Blaine and President Lin
coin the new arm which did much to crush the
Confederacy was adopted Mr.. Spencer's &C.
count of the test is a true contribution to both
biography and history. He says:
"On the way the President stopped in front of
the war department and sent Robert to ask Mr..
Stanton, the Secretary of War, to come with
us. While we were waiting, Mr. Lincoln told
US some goou stories, ana, HOtlclng Inat one
of the pockets of his black alpaca coat was
torn, he took pin from his waistcoat and pro-
ceeded to mend it, saying, laughingly. 1T
seems to me that this does not look quite right
for the chief magistrate Of this mighty repub-
lic.' Robert reported that Mr.. Stanton was too
busy to accompany WELL said the Presi-
dent, they do pretty much as they have mind
to over there The target was board about
6 inches wide and feet long, with black spot
painted at each end. The rifle contained six
50-caliber, rim-fire, copper cartridges. Mr..
Lincons first shot was to the left and inches
low, but the next shot hit the bullseye and the
other five were placed close around it.
"'Now, said Mr.. Lincoln, we will see the
inventor try it. The board was reversed and I
did somewhat better than the President Well,
he said, you are younger than am and have
better eye and steadier nerve"
