quirements probably are on a par with "educated but comparatively rich couples" There was once a sage who remarked it Is bad thing to have educated tastes and not the wherewithal to gratify them. When a couple has taste for fine furniture, Persian rugs. oil paintings. books, music and all the other pretty but expensive amenities of culture, and yet lacks the income to provide them, it readily can be realized that some such couples may regard the cost of providing themselves with an infant is unduly high if it is going to be done with all the expensive frills incident thereto in the best families.

Here is how it frequently is done. As soon as the wife realized the like lihood of becoming a mother the doctor bills start. And it is good plan in spite of it's cost. When the climacteric day arrived and the harassed head of the family fumes about like frightened deer, there may be two doctors on hand in or der to be sure nobody makes a mistake. There must be a private room in a hospital, and a private rurse-perhaps two of them.

COLORED GOPHERS VS..
ST. PAUL POLICE SUNDAY
IN THE
BY Johnny Walton

The support of all colored baseball
fans of the Twin Cities is asked when
the st. Paul Colored Gophers, local
ball team, meets the team of the St.
Paul police at Lexington Park, Au-
gust 1.
The Gophers have played eight
games this season, six of which they
won, and two of which they tied. The
brand of ball displayed by the col
ored team has caused a deal of COM
ment all over the Northwest, and the
players are enjoying the reputation
of being one of the best semi-pro
teams in this part of the country.
In games played recently, the Co
pliers defeated Warren, Mimi, 6-5;
Thief River Falls, 6-1. and Crooks
ton, 1872. Colored fans are strongly
requested to be out at the game Sun
day to witness what is predicted to
be one of the hottest games which
the Lexington grounds will see this
year.

More Evidence.

New charges were that Henry
Wooten, another Negro, had died
shortly after the chain boss beat him.
and that a fourth, Arthur Butler, dis
appeared mysteriously after Crawford
had ordered other prisoners to leave
the camp and "piek blackberries.
The state added to the strong evil
dence it produced Tuesday that Gran
ford had beaten John Quincy Leake
to death 16 or II years ago. Teeth,
hair and decomposed shoes, dug from
a shallow grave, were presented to
explain the disappearance of Leake.
Witness Testifies.
S. P. Thompson, a witness, for
mer convict, said when he left the
chain gang Crawford advised" him
to tell nothing. He said the two race
men, Terry and Howell, claimed they
were sick and were given medicine
and forced to go into the hot sun to
work. They said they wanted to stay
in the shade, whereupon Crawford
rushed toward them screaming that
he would give them shade.
Then, the witness said, Crawford
beat them until they were uncon-
scious. "They never talked again"
Thompson declared. Solicitor Don
Phillips announced that he would not
seek the death penalty, but instead

First Settlement in
Oresoa Was Astoria

The FIRST permanent settlement in
Oregon was founded at Astoria by
agents Of the Pacific Fur company,
who arrived at the mouth of the Co
iumbia river 115 years ago. The fur
company was backed by John Jacob
Astor, but the men engaged by him
to invade the northwestern wilderness

The party left Montreal in big
canoe and made their way down the
st. Lawrence, thence to the Hudson
and New York, from which port they
sailed on the ship ,TonQuin, which
doubled Cape Horn and proceeded to
Hawaii, sailing thence for the Column
bia river. Arrived at the mouth Of
that mighty stream, they built fort,
calling it Astoria, which gradually de-
velOped into the town and city of that
name.
