The skeleton recently found on Mt. Tamalpais, California, may prove to be that of Mary Grimes, who was kidnaped from a hop yard at Urooks, ore., three years ago. Mrs. William Smith, residing at 820 Vaughn avenue, Portland, In formed the police there that she was positive the bleached bones found on the mountainside were those of her kidnaped sister. She bases her con viction upon the press accounts rel ative to the stature of the skeleton, the hair, and effects found beside it. Mrs. Smith will leave for San Rafael, Cal., immediately to make a possible identification of the effects and the bones in the San Rafael morgue. Mary Grimes was 16 years of at;e at tho-tlme she was kidnaped a little over three years ago. Her disap pearance was noted shortly nfter she had been engaged by Fred Shores, a middle-aged man. to pick hops In' "a hopyard rented by him near brooks, Ore. Shores mysteriously disap peared with the girl at the time. They had been on friendly terms, al though he was more than twice her age. Indirectly relatives of the Crimes girl learned that she and Shores were in California. A war rant was sworn to charging Shores with kidnaping. He was never ar rested, nor has his whereabouts been known since. At the time of her disappearance, Miry Grimes, the kidnaped girl, pos sessed a mass of brown hair, similar Miss Ellen Gertrude Har- ris, teacher of vocal and pi- ano. 1 Studio at Oak and Kane sts, Care of Mrs. A.

Jackson St. "Evangelist Reed spoke to a large crowd at the Tabernacle on bunday afternoon on the subject, "The best thing In the world." He already set forth the need of men of for Christ. He said: "The greatest thing in the world .'--'ay is love, love like tnal of" a mother for her child; such love will follow the child wherever It may go. Rut the love of mother for tho child is lost beside the great love of Christ for a lost world." There wore thirteen who came forward and ac knowledged Christ as their Savior at the conclusion of this service. n the evening the largest crowd that had yet assembled at the Taber nacle came to hear the evangelist and at 7:30 the building was packed and an overflow meeting was held at tho M. E. church. where liev. McCon nel'l preached. Mr. Reed spoke at the Tabernaclc.on "The Judgment," us ing 2 Cor. 5-10 as the basis for bis discourse. Ho said: "The next tlrao this congregation will assemble with out the absence of any will be the day of judgment. This is a serious thought and yet It Is true, for we will never all meet here again. We must all appear there and none can secape. The Judge there will separate the sheep from (he goats, the good from the bad, and to the one he will say come up higher, while to the other he will say depart from me. All of us will agree that there must be a judgment day, for down here there is no justice. We see a man who in hunger took a loaf of bread and be is branded a thief and sent for six months to the pen, while a man may steal bis thousands and we call htm a great financier. There Is no justice here. The most of the officers of Ihe land are like the bear dancing nround to the shout of its owner, dance around at the shout of the brewers. Men, you'll have to pay the penalty of your sin. You may escape detec tion down' here, but you can't in the light of eternity. There is going to be one great judgment day when a men will stand up to bo judged for their lives. I say this because the Judge Is engaged in other business now. He Is our intercessor. He stands as one has pictured him, with one hand holding back the sword of divine wrath and justice, while the other he Is reaching out to the lost world calling the sinner to hasten to Jesus. The judgment day is coming. Are you ready?- There nre lots of people who do not like to hear about hell and they will Miy I do not be- lfeve in hell. ,Yes, there are preach ers who are preaching n larger hope, leading men to hope that there will be mother chance after this lif When you tear out of the Bible its teachings about hell you might as well take the wholtS Bible, for if thte Is not. true, then none of it is true. Men, do not bo deceived about the future, for as a man dies so will the judgment find him. At the conclu sion of the cerviee four came forward and signified thereby a desire to be saved. "delivering the c.oons." Marslifleid Evanncllst Goes nt Ills Audience Coatiess. Following are number of epigrams slung at the people of Marshfield by Evangelst Shannon, who is conduct ing a series of meetings at that place: "The biggest coward this side of hell Is the man who can t face the truth." "if I don't stick to my text, I'd rather stick to my crowd." "The swine jumped Into the sen because they didn't want to entertain the devil. Pity some Marshfield men didn't have pig sense." "Some society people talk liko they had bunions on their tongues." "Some churches are united. Yes, frozen together." "To rotten egg a man If of course strong argument, but a rotten egK is like a coward. It hits, then runs. ' "Some Christitnas are like sau sage smooth upon the skin, but you can't tell want's within." "Every man who goes- to the sa loon, goes with a swelled pocketbook and an empy head. He usually comes home with an empty pocket and a swelled head." "The hand that makes the biscuits rules the world." "Sin will destroy you as certain as a cancer. "If you can t churn the cream or a man's common sense, it's because lie is a clabber head." In the course of his remarks, Dan Shannon ground up to a fine powder the man who follows an evil career. He swung the red lantern with all his might, he ran tin the black flag, w sounded the warning note of dan cer. Truly, if men, after attending the tabernacle mission In Marshfield are lost, it will be from their own willful choice. When Shannon jerked off his coat. Billy Sunday fashion, and fairlv swung into the subject last night, he said: "I'm going to deliver the goods here tonight, express prepaid. I used to swing the pick In a coal mine and shovel coal on the railroad. I have seen some railroad slgns at the cross ing which read, 'Stop. Iconic, LlHten. I sitf to you man of evil and vile habits, stop, look and listen. Take a good look at yourself What do you see? Some men every time they go to shave they look In the Klnss and tft-y say, 'Hello, Boozer; hello, gambler: hello, cheater. " When some ladfes dared to snicker out in the audience, Dan said: "Ob. you needn't laugh, some of you women when you look in the glass what do you see? Some of you say, 'Hello, slanderer; hello, card party fiend; hello, tattler. Some of you women here have tongues so long that you can sit in the parlor and lick the skillet In the kitchen. "It's pitiful to see how some men are lead around by others. It re minds me of the spider who spins his web and then geta his fly. The saloons in Marshfield have spun ! bright webs all around, and hundreds of men are getting caught too. The devil lets down his hooks and some of you poor old suckers have swal lowed the bait, hook and all, clear down. And you go home half full of booze, with your mouth all spattered with tobacco and you expect youri uood wife to give you a sweet kiss. Say, how would you like to see your wile act that way? If the woman hood of our land wns as rotten as the manhood. God would have dumped tho whole thing into hell long ngo. I say: 'Stop. look,, listen.' He that pursuoth evil, pursueth it to his own death. Why. the Bible says that any animal that chews his cud and has a parted toe. Is unclean." Cooc Bay Times. SHOWS AX INCREASE.

And the snow was piling higher And the mercury forty-four. 1 i O, thoso dreary days of winter, When tho wind was on the bum, And the wind was piling higher You bet that was going some. I am sitting In the sunshine And watching the daisies grow, And on Nebo'a mighty summit I can see a patch of snow. And the meadow larks are singing And the robins whistling gay; In a laurel on tho hillside I can hear a chattering Jay. And those plowing evening sunsets, Like a bright and golden shower, From Nebo's sloping blllsldeR Clear across to Edenbower. And thoso mighty, towering moun tains, Ever dressed in living green. And those lively, fertile valleys Lying peacefully between. And the rolling, dashing Fmpqua, Like a shining silver thread. Speeding on toward the ocean in the distance far ahead. Yes, those wintry days are over, with their howling wind so high, And to all my friends In Minnie i win say goou-uye, cood-hve. WELL KNOWN. ADVERTISED LETTERS. The frlltnwtiiv tcllaro rti.
