A DRAMATIC STORY OF LOVE AND ROMANCE

/ woman patient of DR.. Millions
whose name had been connected
With Glendening within the past
years. That trail offered no. clew.
But John Davis was shrewd. He
knew enough of his philosophy by
which his friend regulated his life
TO realize that in all probability
DR.. George Milton held the key to
the Glendening divorce case. Davis
was sure THE American Beauty
was not the answer. If she wasn' t
The Woman" who was? With
the mental quickness for which
he was distinguished he decided
instantly to persuade Clavering to
tell what he knew of Harry Glen
dening and hfs marriage embrog-
no. In return he would relate
what Mrs. Glendening had told
him. This discussion, he hoped,
would bring out all that Dr.. Mil
ton knew Of the case. For mo-.
ment he pondered the ethics Of
such a discussion and decided that
the end justified the means.

Fears a Plague Of Pagodas
From the Portland spectator

| From the Portland Spectator
| Il wish to. protest" writes a
Eeorrespondent from Coos Bay,
sagalnst the nonsense proposed
by Julius Meier OF turning loose
| a pair of pagodas in Oregon. We
fhaFe suffered enough from the
4 3iinportation OF the flora ana
Hfauna of foreign lands. A while
back a fellow named Griggsby,
said to be a friend of George
Himes, who is otherwise a SPLEEN
Ibid citizen, sent out here a couple
Eof sparrows, saying they would
take the place of the street-elean-
ing department. and now we have
hardly songbird in the country,
Things that don't come or grow
naturally shouldn't be monkeyedi
with. When l was in Jamaica a.
while ago, l didn't see chicken
This is no joke, but is intended
as warning against accepting
Meier's pair of pagodas. l asked,
What's the cause of this?' Well,
said the man, a while back we
had store of rats on the island
chat came ashore from the shipsl
that sail the ocean blue, and they
ate everything, or almost every
thing. Someone said one day, why
not import a mongoose or two.
The mongoose bankers for rats
Which was done. Well, the mon
geese ate rats so that there was
Mt sign Of one left, but null
Ciplied like the beasts of the field, |
and soon were a greater pest thanE
the prey which they were import
ed to destroy. The mongeese eat
the chickens, and that is why
they are an extinct bird in Jam
aica. Ask o. M. Clark, president
of the Clark & Wilson Lumber
Company, if there's chicken in
all Jamaica today. So, keep the
pagoda out of Oregon.
Only the other day, me andI
George Hines were talking, and i
said, George, what 0do you think
Of these here pugodas?' George
said, They're all very well in
their place. That's the answer.
their place is not here. II Julius
wishes to import pair, and keep
hem Gagged, that's his business;
but they shouldn't be set loose to
age over the hills and frighten
our sheep and cattle. The China
1heasants coming into our gard
sns and scratching up our flower
seeds and pulling down our win
low boxes are nuisance enough,
bringing any Japanese
lagodas.
Just the last time 1 was in
Portland l was talking with Col i

party. Well, ColSnel Holman was
trimming his roses, and he says,
If the dandelions weren't a pesti-
ferrous weed, it would be consider
ed a very pretty flower. That's
just the same as the pagodas,
sparrows and mongeese. 1 said
Colonel, do you know DR.. Perry
Prettyman The Colonel said,
No, he was before my time; but
he and Colonel Emmet Callahan
used to be great friends Well,
l said /, knew h4in. He was from
Maryland, and had donation
claim where Sunnyside is now and
that took in part of Mt. Tabor,
and was yard doctor. He came
to Portland in 1847, and said we
needed a few dandelions. Old man.
Matthew said we had enough
game as it was, and maybe they
wouldn't fraternize. Somebody
else expressed similar emotions;
but we were devil-may-care lot
in those days, and the majority
opinion was that if they were no
bigger than the cougar, which
was frequent then, we could
stand few. Well, sir, DR.. Pretty
man sent to Maryland for them;
and they turned out to be that
most pestiferous thing the dande-
lion weed. So, say, keep out
these foreign things. 1 predict
that within five years Julius
Meier's pagodas would be as great

IN Jamaica, the sparrow in Coos
or the dandelion all over Oregon

The Woman in the Case.

friends. Each was busy with his
thought. Presently John Davis
continued: Mrs. Glendening feels
that If Harry married The Ameri-
can Beauty it would mean his
complete downfall"
SO The American Beauty is

ing divorce suit" commented Dr..
Milton to himself. The love scene
he had witnessed between the
''vamp" and strange man In the
hotel lobby flashed into his mind.
Mrs. Glendening need not wor-
ry," answered Clavering. Harry
will never marry The American
Beauty, not in a thousand years.
His days as a horticulturist are
over-at least for some time"
His afterthought brought
smile to the faces of the other
men.
Il think, though" continued
Clavering, that Harry will do ev-
erything to make his wife divorce
nim, now that she has begun ac-
tion. She has been a milestone
about his neck"
Perhaps, but at least she has
been true to nIm," remarked
Davis.

The concluding paragraph, freely

 Speedy Action Wanted.
 Senator McCumber, Republican, North Dakota. chairman of the Sen ate finance committee, was insistent that the bonus bill be passed before the tariff He said he hoped to reach an agreement with other Sena- tors to permit the bill to be shot through the Senate after two or three days of debate.
 McCun1b CTS optimism was not shared by Senators Lodge, of Massa- chusetts; Curtiss, of Kansas; Watson. of Indiana, and other Republican leaders They were of the opinion that any attempt to displace the tariff for the bonus would lead to interninab1e debate-to a fiiiDuster by Republican and Dem ocratic op- ponents of the bonus which would seriously Jeopardize the tariff bill itself
