Heppner and Morrow county in general have had an abundance ot rain this week, and the many farm ers who have Increased their acreage In grain this year to make up for the two years' of short crops are much enthused at the general prospect. CHESTER. V.Vi WOMEN CLEAN IP THE STREET Chester, Pa. Fifty women, the ma jority In long ginghum aprons and tight-fitting (lust caps, and others dressed in their husbands' or brothers' overalls, made the dust fly on the highways of the Fifth ward when they responded to the call of Alder man Alfred C. Rhoa'ds to clean the streets, which the city has long neg lected. The women made a good Job "of the contract. "Judge" Rhoaes and wife, a bride of three months, headed the street cleaning brigade. The Fifth ward was made the cleanest spot In the city, and those responsible say they will repeat the operation at stated periods unless the men the taxpayers hire . do the work efficiently. TELLS ENGLISHMEN TO STAY AWAY FROM V. S. London. Courtney W. Bennett, British consul general at New York, in his annual report cautions Immi grants against assuming that New York is an Eldorado for the working man. "It is not," he says. "The expenses of living are so high and so constantly rising that a man In regu lar employment Is as well If not better off than his fellow workman In New York at the higher wages, while If out of work he Is better off at home. It Is estimated that to live In .. i vmr vnrlt a man with a wife and two children must spend $1000 a year." Save money by reading today's ads.

Foreign Geography, Children, of European birth wbo were old enough to receive some Instruction in geography before coming to this country bold opinions In regard to the political divisions of the earth which all the American geographers and the teachers thereof combined cannot up root A New York teacher found that out when she tried to Impress upon a young Austrian miss that Columbus Is the capital of Ohio. "It is Cincinnati, on the Ohio," re- torted the Austrian maiden politely, but firmly. Maps and printed test were produced to prove her error. The pupil was In nowise convinced. "It wasn't that way In our geogra phy at home," said she. And the next day, to uphold her contention, she brought the geography on. which she based her assertion. That book was not a perfect product of the geography maker's art, for It certainly did state that Cincinnati, on the Ohio river, was the capital of Ohio. "But that is a mistake," said the teacher. Then day after day, when the girl wns called upon to recite, the teacher put the question of discord, "What la the capital of Ohio?" and day after day. at the risk of bad marks, came the positive reply, "Cincinnati, on the Ohio." New York Press. Whelks' Eggs. Natural soap Is not heard of very of ten, but It not only exists, but Is Highly prized by Jack Tar In the tropics when , the purser reports that the ship's sup ply of soap has given out. Then all bands are sent ashore to gather a sup ply of "natural soap," 'which Is found on the shore In the shape of whelks' eggs. The whelk Is a little shellfish, or marine mollusk, which In Europe Is eaten like mussels, cockles, oysters and clams, but In the tropics It Is more highly esteemed for the soap It provides in the shape of Its eggs. The eggs are found In a light yellowlsn mass which Is composed of some five or six hundred capsules. One fish alone produces millions of these eggs In the course of the year. They are found on the shores of the Atlantic, but are very profuse on the Intertrop ical coral reefs, where sailors take large quantities aboard for use as soap. Diamond Cut Diamond. Tatrick 11. McCarren," said a Brook lyn lawyer, "knew bow to handle men. Lie met straightforward men with straightforward methods, and tricky men be bested with wilier tricks than their own. "Once he illustrated his policy to me with a story. lie was like, he said, the rich Tcter Hlgglns. "When Teter was young and gay two friends, being hard up, put up a game on blm. "Teter,' they said, 'you might pay us that $2 we lent you.' " 'When did you lend me $2? said Peter haughtily. " 'Why, night before last, when you were drunk,' was the reply. " 'Ob, yes,' said Teter. 'I remember now. But, hong It, I paid you backp " Told us back? When?' " 'Last night, when you were drank. Don't you remember?' " Didn't Lose His Temper, There was an elderly East Indian colonel whose boast it was tbut he had a very tranquil disjiosltjon that noth ing could rullle. He took up golf, and for a long time his friends failed to notice any disturbance of the colonel's outward calm, but one day, when play ing a foursome, he got Into a notorious devil's punchbowl" bunker and spent a terrible fifteen minutes trying first to find the ball and then to play It out He tried every club In vain, and at last, glaring like a demon, he smashed them, one after another, across a Jagged rock. "What are you doing?" cried the party above. "If all right!" he snorted. "It's It's better to break one's clubs than to lose one's temper!" And the caddie gath ered up the pieces. Crushing a Lawyer. De Wolfe Hopper was once a wit ness in a suit for slander, and the opposing counsel In the court room said: - "You are an actor, I believe?" "Yes," replied Hopper. "Is not that a low calling?" "I don't kuow. but K's so much bet ter than my father's that I am rather proud of It." "Whot was your rather s caning, may I ask?" "He was a lawyer," said Hopper. Playing It Down Low. "I haven't much use for Blithersley,' said the proud papa. "Why?" asked the proud mamma. "I listened to him for an hour today while he told me about what his baby had said or tried to say, and just as I was about to tell him about ours ho left me, saying he hud to catch a train."

OREGON CAPITAL, SURPLUS UNDIVIDED PROFITS and . RESOURCES OVER SHAKESPEARE BALL TO BE GAEAT EVENT London. Certainly the most won derful and probably the most beauti ful spectacle of Its kind that has ever been witnessed bids fair to be afford ed by the great Shakespearean fancy dress ball which Is to be held at the Albert hall on June 27 In aid of the Shakespeare Memorial National the ater. There have been Shakespeare balls before, to be sure, at Stratford-on-Avon and elsewhi.-e, but nothing on a scale approaching that of the forth coming function, which will bring to gether all the most brilliant and dis tinguished people who gather in Lon don at the height of the season. It is hoped that royalty itself may grace the occasion, while upon the la dles' committee, with Mrs. George Cornwallls-West In the chair, are to be found already the Duchess of Som erset, the Duchesg of Marlborough, the Duchess of Sutherland, the Mar chioness of Salisbury, the Countess of Weymss; Muriel, Countess de la Warr; the Countess of Lytton; Cora, Coun tess of Stratford; the Countess of Londcsborough, Lady Grendoline Churchill, Lady Helen Vincent, Lady Maude Warrender, Viscountess Rid ley, Lady Ashby St. Ledgers, I.ady Cunard, Lacy Hamilton, Lady Jekyll, Lady Paget.

ROOSEVELT MAY SEE JEFF-JOHNSON SCRAP New York. There is more than a passing possibility that Colonel Theo- ore Roosevelt will be present at the effrles-Johnson fight July 4 next, un less Ihe California governor gives ear to the national Methodist wall and at tempts to block the bout. The colonel likes a fight. He likes to participate and he likes to look on. He likes boxing matches and when he was police commissioner of this city he used to attend the fights to see that things went right." He i a boxer of ability himself, nd his old instructor, Mike Donovan, says he has the hardest punch of any man not in the ring. Roosevelt will be In the west next ummer. He has accepted Invitations to fairs in Cheyenne and Galveston. Just when he is going west is not set tled at this moment, but he will likely go early and stay late, for he admires western people and western scenery. Jack Gleason is coming east to pre sent a ticket to Colonel Roosevelt when the hunter gets back from Eu rope. Mr. Gleason will tender a gold ticket for the finest seat In ihe arena, and If Colonel Roosevelt will consent to attend he can have a whole section to himself. The strenuous one no doubt would like nothing better but that trivial thing of public opinion must cut some figure. However, the ticket hasn't been refused yet. PROXY SOLDIER IS TIRED. Friend Falls to Relievo German Who Series In French Ainy. Paris. An extraordinary story is related of a German who is alleged to have been actually serving for some time In a French Infantry regiment Quartered In a provincial town. A few months ago he appeared at the barracks, saying that he was living with his parents in Saxony, and had come for the usual term or service with the colors. The papers which he produced were quite correct, and he did his work so well that ho was pro posed for promotion to the rank of corporal. When he heard of this Idea the man sought an Interview with his captain, and explained that he was a native of Posen, and had arrived with the pa pers to replace their real owner, who had promised to relieve him In a few weeks. As, however, his friend had not kept his word, in spite of the re peated remonstrations which he had sent him by post, he had decided on making a clean breast of it, the more so, as he had had enough of service In the French army. Of what the cap tain or the colonel had to say to this queer trick, however, Is not added. MAGISTRATE IS TARGET. Former Prisoner Takes Pot-Shot at .TiulirpL in Courtroom. t Paris. One of the Paris Judges ho9 Just had a very narrow escape from being a victim of his duty as a mag istrate. He had been presiding at a court when a suit was decided, and he, as well as his assistants and the Public Prosecutor, were about to re tire, when a man who was standing at the back of the courtroom fired three revolver shots In the direction of the Judge.

Te ushers and guards then took charge of him, and led the man Into an adjoining room. There he ex plained that he had Intended to kill the Judge for having sentenced him to four months' imprisonment last January. Nobody was hurt. KEEP CHRISTMAS TREE GREEN FOR LITTLE GIRL Burlington, N. J. Spring will be blossoming into summer when little Marguerite Rodman of Linden ave nue gets her first glimpse of her 1909 Christmas tree. At the home of her uncle, George Rodman, the tree Is yet standing with Its gay holiday deco rations and with a midwinter farm scene depicted in miniature beneath the everbreen branches, while in a Philadelphia hospital 7-year-old Mar guerite is counting the days to the middle of May, when the physicians say she can leave the institution and return home to "celebrate Christmas." The child was taken 111 a few days before Christmas last year, and her greatest distress when she found she would have to go to a hospital was the fear that she would miss her Christmas tree. "Never mind, Margie," said her un cle. "We shall keep the tree deco rated for you. It will be here when you return." Marguerite went to the hospital and her uncle has kept the tree bright and green by daily wrapping the trunk with wet cloths. The toys which she, has never seen are still tied to the branches. POTATO MAKES LONG LIFE. Paris Doctor, 100 Years Old, Has No System of Diet or Drink. Paris. Doctors ought surely to be long-lived. They are not so, how ever. It is rare. Indeed, to meet a centenariandoctor, and perhaps be cause the thing Is so rare the whole medical world has Joined In feting Its centenarian member. Dr. Boulle, of Saint Valerian, and among other honors conferred on his length of years he was decorated "Officer d'Aea demle." He attended the banquet, accompanied by his youngest son1 the youngest of six being aged 65. The centenarian doctor had no re ceipt for 'long lives to disclose to the inevitable interviewer. He practised no system of died or drink; he satis fied hunger and thirst always as his appetite prompted. He cuiclvated his little plot of land, however, In the intervals of his practice; and in his father's time they all lived like peas ants, eating more potatoes than meat. His sons are medical men, like him self, and like his father and grand father. Two years ago, when the doctor was 98 years old, his house took fire, and he took an active part in the rescue work and tn saving the household effects. He climbed a ladder to the roof of the house a three-story one. STUDENT HIGH JINKS AT GIRLS' QUARTERS Bloomington, Ind.
