At a meeting of the timelier of the county, one day last Kail, during the teachers' association In Tort land, I was elected to take charge of the debating work In this county. Mr. Tooze, having morn Im port ii ni buNlneas on hand, did not at tend thl meeting of the county teach er. As soon as poHMlhle, I wrote the principal of the county asking them If their school would participate In the debating contest. Mr. Tooze re plied that his school would do so. hen aranged the following schedule Can by at i'arkplnce, Mt. Pleasant at (ilailHioiie, Oregon City at Entacada and all of the schools upon my notl flcatlon began to prepare to debate on March 3. About two weeks before the date set for the debates, at an lntl tule at Can by, upon my Inquiry Mr Too.e told me that he did not know they were to debate, did not see how they could, and thought that the de bates were only to be between the xui graues or the county, inis lert Ktacada without au opponent and eliminated them from the race. It deemed to me that the largest high school In the county, with large II brary nnd good teacher should be foremoHt In thl most Important branch of nchool work and I told Mr Tooze no. He then promised that be would see what be could do and let me know later. "Of courae," he said, "you know I can't get them to debate If they don't want to." Knowing that the Oregon City high school was very bUHy with athletic al the time, I felt Inclined to excuse them from aa much work of this kind hs poHKihle but it was the first attempt to get the Hchools of the county to gether In debating work and I was naturally anxious to make It success fill. About a week before the date set Mr. Tooze telephoned me that they would be here. Then only a day or wo before the debate and after we hud our bills printed he telephoned that they could not come. Now these debates were all to take pluce the same night. In any debating Hague thut ever existed. If a team failed to appear they forfeited the de hale. This ruling precludes all poe nihility of any team attending another lehate and getting all of the argu ments. Mr. Tooze showed his Ignorance of all debating work by aiiking for anoth er week. Knowing that his high school was weak and needed more time than the larger high schools of the county gave him another week. At th date set the other schools de buted and two of the Oregon City de baters whom Mr. Tooze Informed me viill not be In Eatacada that same night on account of sickness were at I'nrkplace and took down the argu ments used In the debate. Mr. Tooze says that Mt. Pleasant listened to tho name debate. That Is Impossible as Mt. Pleasant was debating Gladstone on that evening. Mr. Tooze told me In his own home that he knew his de lators were going to Parkplace to lis ten to the debate. In his own home on the same evening he also told me that he had made a bungle of the whole business and waived all prlvl lee of contesting for the county championship. Now why he wishes to contest the champlonHhlp which Parkplace has won, Is beyond me. He says that I shut his school out. He did It him self three times. Once when he failed In bring his team to Eatacada on the dole set, second when he allowed his debntors who couldn't come to Esta cada to go to Parkplace and listen to the same subject they were to contest with us, and the third time when he waived all right to Contest for the championship. Parkplace met the requirements In every way and In two masterly de bates won the county championship. As President of the Clackamas County Debuting League I declared them such, and I will see to It that they re tain the title so richly deserved by them. II. M. JAMES.

At the time the foreign legations were shot up In Peking and the united srmle of the powers went lhr to free them, with the American army was a soldier, by the imine of Illggln He bad become stngeiiiruck when quite . young and bad Joined the miers In a theater. He had never rlnen us sn sr tor, but bad Imhiii put In charge of lbs properties. From the theater he hnd gone forth as an ssnliitnnt to a presti dlgltalor slid become sufficiently ei pert to take bi prluelpul's place In case of ueceeslty.' The prestidigitator died, and Ultfgln was stranded. Tbeo be enlisted In the srmy. When the allied force were working thelmvay up to the wells of Peking an American genersl wUbed for a secret service man to go forward and recon oolter. It was deslrsble to know what abstractions were In the w.iy. where were the entrances, etc. No one could be found to undertake the work till It was mentioned to Hlggins. who said that If be could get certain articles from the ordnance department and cer tain msterlsls from other sources he would undertake to bring the Informa tion. He succeeded In gaining whst be wsnted and, dreeslng blmoelf In a fsntastlc costume, started forth on foot for the city. Walking along a road with no other weapon tban a light cane, be met a party of Chinese Boxers. Since nig gin was coming from the direction of their enemies the Chinamen were dis posed to chop nlm up at once, but they couldn't understand bis qneer costume. There Is not a more super stitious race In the world than the Chinese unless It Is certain low grade Mohammedans. As the Boxers ap proached Hlggins. seeing him come light along without fear, their courage began to oote out at their finger ends. They atopped and waited for him to come up. Hlggins tossed a little sphere as big as a marble among tbem. which exploded, and. though It did no barm. It scattered tbem. Tbey turn ed and saw the stranger marching on silently like a specter. He raised his bat, and every hair on bis bead stood straight np. That took whst ronrage there was In tbem, and be saw tbem no more. The next lot of Boxers be met were bolder. Tbey blocked the road and cried out something In Chinese which Hlggins didn't understand. Hlggins topped. One of the Chinamen advanc ed, while the others slunk back. When he got within a few yards of the strange apparition it drew an Imagi nary circle of Are about It with the end of Its cane. The advancing man retreated on bis supports. One of the Boxers now brought a gun to bis shoulder and fired at Hlggins. It was a close call for the soldier, for the bullet whistled within an Inch of his ear. Hnd not the Boxer who fired been affected by luperotltlon he would probably have killed hi man.. Hlggins didn't lose his presence of mind, but turned the Incident to bis advantage. He stood with his lips parted and drawn so that his enemies could see the ball they bad fired held between his teeth. Then, taking It In his hand. he threw It among tbem. Had be thrown a band grenade he conldn't have sesttered them more effectually. Hlggtiis was now getting near the walls of the city and began to nse bis eyes. He also made notes and draw. lngslle had a pocket glass with him and found It valuable. While he was gazlug a party of Chinese horsemen wept down on blm. Though puzzled at his appearance, tbey kept on. Hlg gins faced them and. opening his mouth, began to pull linked sausages from his mouth by the yard. This stopped them, but when the apparition drew bark a few yard and the China mens hunger bad conquered their fears so far as to enable tbem to go forward to devour the precious meat he sausapes exploded In tbelr faces. Turning toward Hlggins. they saw him demoniacally spitting fire st tbem. This wss too much for their equsnlm- e.y, and they ran. Hlggins now advanced as near as he tared to the walls of the city, made 4ome valuable observations and then urned his face toward camp. On his xray back the roed was lined here and here at a distance by Chinamen who and witnessed the horrible magic and. hough curious, did not dare come very lenr. By tho time he was nesting the jnd of bis Journey quite a crowd was ollowlng him. When they came too sear he would draw a circle of flame with his cane or spit Ore at them. Then the specter, or whatever It was. appeared to grow st least Its eg did until at every step It gained I couple of yards. It continued to breathe out fire, and ns the darkness fame on Its hut seemed to he contin ually burning without being consumed. And so ranrched the Illuminated giant, the country round about filled with nbberlng. wondering, trembling China men, until finally all Its lights went int and It wns seen no more. H!""tn appeared on the American plCre.t !in hit .is he was expected he passed In n lthnt the countersign. He gave the rwn'i of his observations to his general and was duly thanked therefor. On the return of the troops to Amerles he was made an ofllcer for "gallant and meritorious conduct," which Indicates thnt this srmv phrase Is very elastic and admits of many dif ferent interprets yons.
