THE OREGON ROKES.
Under thlB heading tho Boston
Herald writes us follows, regarding
the receipt of the letters which were
sent broadcast from this state dur
ing "Letter Writing Week," a short
time ago. Ware Ilosohiirg to he
substituted for Portland, the article
-would be Just as applicable to this
city as to the metropolis. It goes
to show the value of tho advert. b
Ing contained In these thousands of
loiters mailed to every part of the
country.
"Have you received n Invllntlon
to visit Portland, Ore., during the
rose festival next June not a form
al invitation, printed or engraved,
but a very personal and intimate
Invitation in the neat hand of a pre
sumably charming Portland school
Sir? If not, do not despair. Tho
invitation Is probably on tho way.
The Portland school girls cannot
-wrlto to a million pnihpuctlve guestH
all at once, though they are evident
ly making a brave effort to do so.
Tho artfully artless Oregon let
ters now flooding tho cast are good
advertising. They cultivate both the
nrt of letter writing end local pat
rlollsm among the Juvenile corres
pondents. Portland has reason to
ho proud of lis roses ropes twelve
months a year anil especially of
lis .lulin festival. Thero will lie a
great falling off In visitors from last
yoar and the school girl letters will
hardly draw as many visitors as the
const expositions did; but every re
cipient of a letter will want to go.
and some may not ho able to resist
tho Inclination."
THAT DECISION.
Tho citizens of Rosehurg were
moro Interested In hearing whether
tho supremo court of tho slato would
hand down Its decision In the rail
road case, than they wore over tho
Toports from the national capital
lulling of tho tense situation in tho
ho-MBO of representatives over the
vote on tho resolution to warn
Amorlcnns from travelling on nrm
d merchantmen. Everyone wns ask
ing' some other person whether n
Incision had been arrived at, and If
so what It wns. Thero are but few
poopln in this city who believed the!
decision can bo anything other than
favorable to tho contention of the
city, nnd with this final obstacle re
moved, It Is certain that things will
begin to moxe forward rapidly, even
should the threats bo renewed of
carrying tho case up to the supreme
court of the Pulled States. And Ibis
Is the reason why Koseburg citizens
am more anxious to hear from the
capital if Ihe slate than from tho
capital of Ihe nation.

Tho Powder-IiaR Lady
I have Been her when she "fainted'
at a dinner or a dance.
And before expected rescuers could
get a half a chance,
She would furtively reach some-
where and with lightning
Bwiftnes drag
From some hidden little pocket her;
beloved chamois rag.
She would dust a little powder on
the apex of her nose
Ere again her ''fainting" members
Bank to classical repose.
Once I saw her when her hubby
was the subject of a speech
Made by someone she'd selected his
Bad funeral to preach.
She was sitting near the casket by
her late co-partner dear,
"When her frescoed face was fur
rowed with a tiny, trickling
tear.
Then Bhe filched from out her
draper) some cuticle-de-stag,
And she gave her face once-over
with that faithful powder
rag. Nay, she never strays a furlong
from her classy little shack,
De it satin, silk or velvet she la
wearing on her back.
That she doesn't carry with her, In
her little leather bag
That well-saturated friend of hers
her dear old powder-rag.
And I hope that at her finish, on
the busy Judgment morn,
She may have her chamois handy
when old Gabriel blows his
horn.

a total stranger, who said: !
"I have lost my way. Will yoti
leave your sheep and guide mo tj j

"No," said the boy, "I must nr
lenve my sheep."
"But I will pay you well fo.1
your tlmo," said the stranger. j
"No, I am entrusted with theri '
sheep, nnd I must stick on the joj1
see?" , j
"llh-huh," Bald the stranger, fol
ho was highly educated.
juhc men tno young mans nti

that tho stranger was the GraiuJ

"Come to seo me some time,':

And the young man went homd

Simple Cure
A roBnr.sroiKXT contributes this
easy method of getting rid of warts:
Sho cites an instance oi uuuuub
jply wart on the tip of the finger,
which became so aggravated, because
of constant bruising, that It was con
tinually cracked and bleeding. She
states that it came to her mind that
pure oil, such as olive or castor oil,
was so healing In its character
that it might be applied to this wart
on a venture. It could at least do
no barm. She rubbed the oil into
the wart every night, then bound It
up with oiled silk to protect the
bedding, after she had tied a piece
of oily absorbent cotton over the
wart. The treatment thereby was
going on all night After several
weeks of tills the wart disintegrated
and came off In tiny particles, leav
ing no trace of a scar.
It sounds like very good advice,
and worth trying. There are quicker
ways of getting rid of these blem
ishes. One way is to tie a white
silk thread tightly around the base
of the wart After a few days, it
will be seen that the circulation has
been so strangled, that the wart dries
up, and will either drop off in portB,
or can be filed off gently as it drlea
up. Very large warts on the faco,
especially those having stiff hair
growing from them, had better go
under the care of a skin specialist,
whose method is treating with
electricity.
Childhood is particularly prone to
warts, none of which are serious.
They generally disappear of them
selves. It is only a matter of con
cern when one comes in an inconven
ient place, where it will get bad
treatment, such as our correspondent
tells us about with her own child.

Health Talks
BY WILLIAM BRADY, M.D.
Acule Aad Intoxication In Chddren
The cominnatiox of ".stoiniu'h-itclio,"
vomltiiiK ttud feverish). ess in a child
Is generally termed acute indi-sl l.m,
biliousness, "worms," or muylinp
appendicitis.
And while It mlsht be ony of these,
excepting "biliousness," there is an
explanation not commonly offered but
j very frequently found rhUit in finch
i cases, and that Is acid intoxication.'
Symptoms IndicatiiiK acid iutoxl-.
cation are a peculiar heavy or sweet-
i Ish breath and repeated vomitlne,,
llrst of partly digested food, later of
blle-titiKed fluid or pure bile, Vomit-'
Ing recurs every few minutes, after
an interval of restlessness and burn
ing In tho stomach. Following the
vomiting the child seems tempor
arily relieved, but tho distress re
turns presently and seems to Incronso
until vomiting recurs. At the samo
time the child becomes more or less
feverish, usually more, nnd some
times a trllle delirious.
Those symptoms nro alarming to
the parents. Thero is tho dread sus
picion of appendicitis or other seri
ous cause. Hut if the abdomen Is
sensitive to touch the tenderness is
not localized, but general, and now
here, now there.
The remedy is an alkali to neutral
ize the acids which cause the symp
toms. A tnhlospoonful of soda
(salerntus) dissolved In two-thirds of
n glass of water may be giver, hi ono
drink or In several drinks. The
child craves alkalies and will tuko
such a dose readily, and with marked
relief soon afterward.
Milk of magnesia is another alkali
useful In tho treatment if adminis
tered In teaspoonful doses every hour
until relieved or until tho-ouh
catharsis Is produced.

The Waterdrops
"I'm so tibed or being a waterdrop,"
eighed a nice little waterdrop one
winter morning. "I hate being a
waterdrop all the time, and all tbo
time, and all the time! I wish I was
something else!"
"Ho, ho!" laughed the North Wind,
who happened by just then. "And
what do you think you would like to
be? Seems to me being a waterdrop
is pretty good business you don't
have to rush around and work hard
and "
"That's just the trouble," Inter
rupted the waterdrop eagerly. "I
don't want to stay in the same place
all the time, and I'm perfectly willing
to work."
"Um-m," was all that Mr. North
Wind replied, because he was think
ing his hardest, trying to make up
something for the waterdrop to do.
"Oh, I'd be willing to be a good
many things," replied the waterdrop,
obligingly. "I'd' like to be you, be
cause you can blow around and see
anything you please. Or I'd "
"But I work hard," said Mr. North
Wind, thinking It was his turn to
Interrupt now.
"Oh, I know that," said the water
drop unconcernedly. "And I should
never complain of that!"
"You don't know what hard work
Is," said Mr. North Wind positively.
"Then I'd learn something," said
the waterdrop, "and that's exactly
what I want to do!" Then he con
tinued his wishes. "Or I'd be a tree
or a hill now If I was a hill, I could
see all over tho earth! But being
only a waterdrop, I cannot even seo
yonder shore, so near. Oh, yes, a
waterdrop's life is very stupid."
"So you think you would bo hap
pier If ydu could seo the shore?"
asked Mr. North Wind, because he
wanted to bo sure he was pleasing
the waterdrop before he made any
suggestions.
"Yes! Yes! That would Just suit
me!" cried the waterdrop eagerly, for
by now he suspected that Mr. North
Wind was making some plan.

that difference will not prevent you
from seeing all that you please of the
nearby shore!"
"Oh, will you really?" exclaimed
the delighted waterdrop, and whilo
Mr. North Wind went to hunt Jack
Prost, he called to his brother and
sister waterdrops and had them all
ready for the new game.
Of course Jack Frost liked to play
he always does! And how quickly
he froze' them tight and threw them
into rough little hills along the shore
line, you never could guess!
And if ever you, when walking
along a river or lake, see rough piles
of ice along tho edge, you may be sure
that those ice piles are made of
waterdrops who have plaved that
very same game with Jack Frost!
