"I'm not afraid of buizards. but at first I thought the blame thing was a stork." In calling the children together foi the photograph, Uland simply cupped his hands and in a stentorian voici called: "Children." Itesults were liumedinle. Children appeared from every direction. Some of ihe "child ren" were grown men and women; others were barely able to toddli forth, and one still was being cai rieo In arms. liland says II Is no more trouble It bring up fifty children thiin It Is It raise ten.

UUIU vs u WIIV7U1 Ixwe. mojw. vcaf uiD mk 1U& MMU. to AWM-ruma IR CAU V POO.NCM JAH TXvxa Craottd to tht Mmory of JapapM Maid, But Ita Precis Idea Hardly Apparent, One of the pretty ahrtnea of Japan la baited oa the Btory of a beautiful girl, and to this day occidental can not figure out If the Bhrtne wan to perpetuate a tragedy or an honor. The story Is that Yuinatoduke, one of the greatest warriors In the history of the country, halted for a u If lit at tlie vl II aire of Shlmodalra. He was. weuiy of battle and strife, and sent out word to the village that he wished to hv entertained by the preltlent girl there. Kemar-hlya was selected, npd it la told how she spent the evening Finding and dum-ltig for the warrior. He went on his masterful way the next morning leaving the little maiden to mourn hi pas-dug. and to give birth to his child In due time. Now, the child died, as did IN moth er, and the village erected the Khrlue. and every few years It la rebuilt and made more beautiful. Hut what no occidental can discover la wheVher the shrine was built to remind the citizens of the militarism of the old days that trod with relentlea.1 heels on begtfnr and wealthy alike, and thus to pay tribute to a tragedy, or whether It was built to show that the great war rior honored Ihe humble village by taking one of Its membership Into his arms. DIDN'T GET CHIEF'S MEANING Sailor Misunderstood, but After All, Kangaroo Is as Good a Name as Any Other. The Kangaroo received Its nnme through the failure of white men to uiiderMtsnd Ihe language of the Aus trullnii bushinen. Captain Cook, dis coverer of AiiHtrulln, giizing stiorewnrd one diiy, saw a group of unlives nbiiiil what seemed to be a most peculiar nntmnl. He sent a group of men sshore to get It, and was still more nmii7.ed when told of Its shape. Its hublt of carrying Its young In a ourh nnil Its remarkable leaping ability, lie wanted the natives' mime for the spec imen Hint he Intended to take hack to Knglsnd. "What's the mime of that lienslle?" demanded an Kngllsh tur of the na tives' chief. "Ksn ga roo," returned the native. "Kangaroo, eh?" repeated the sallor nsn, and, sntistled, relurncd to his -i) 1 til In. The fact Is, however, that 'he words spoken by the chief are merely a phrase meaning "I, or we. lon't know." Taking Cars of Indoor Plants. To make ferns grow rapidly Indoors md look fresh and green, chop a few oysters fine and mix with the soil nnil hen water well. This may be done very fortnight.

WASHINGTON FARMER SUFFERED TEN YEARS Custaf Nelson Couldn't Raise His Hand to His Head Be fore Taking Tanlac Is Feeling Fine Now, He Says. tk 8tory of the Panjy. The centenary of the pansy wns eel ebrnteil a few years ago by the Kng llsh florists mid Ihe hINIory of the flower as given nt the time was as fol ows : ".lust one hundred years ngn I.iulv Mury Itelinett, a daughter of the esrl of Tsnkervllle, was so strui k with Ihe simple beauty of a tiny wil.lllng viutn trl-color that she collected some of the best plunts nnd gnve IIkuu careful cul tivation. The tlrst hnteh of seedlings raised by her gave such promise that systematic Kclet-tton was st once Insti tuted, nnd. Iherei'fter the Improvement of the genus was taken up by Hie lend ing growers. Thus to on enthushislle nmuteur we are indebted for one of the most popular ami beautiful of our garden (lowers." Outrage. In Denver they tell a story of a new ly rich family that became discon tented with the services of their old physician, despite that fact that for many years- he had kept all of them In excellent health. "So you have decided to get n new doetor," snld a caller to the liuly of Ihe house, who had confided lu her friend. "1 certainly have." snld the other. "The Idea of Ids prescribing tlms ten and mustard plasters for people as rich as we an!" "Anyone who wouldn't say a good word for a medicine that had done for them what Tanlac has fop me would be ungrateful," said Cuslof Nelson, a farmer, who lives at Oer iiude, Wash., McNeil Island, twenty miles from Tucoma. "For Ihe past ten years I suffered wllh rheumatism in my left hip and right arm all the time, and at times in different parts of my body. My hip pained me so I could hardly wulk and my arm would very often hurt so badly I could not raise my hand to my head. The pains in my liack were so bad 1 could scarcely bend over, my kidneys bothered me a greut deal also, and 1 wuld have the worst sort of dizzy spells. I could get hut little sleep at nights, my appe tite was very poor, nnd I had become so weak and run down I could not do any heavy work ut all. 1 saw so much good aid about Tanluc In the newspapers 1 dtci.l.d to try it. and It was only a slum while before I began to gam In weight and sln ngih and my appetlle Impioved wonderfully. Now I can eut anything I want nnd everything agrees wilh lue. The rheumatism is gone and I can get about all righi and do hard work with the gtvaie.i ease again. I never have those pains in my back any more nor those dizzy spells and cun sleep nil night long us peaceful as a child. In fact. I feel just tine all the limn nnd I owe II all lo Tanlac." Tanlac Is sold In Hoseburg by W. F. Chapman; In lilxonvlllu by Thos Hatfield and by leading druggisis everywhere. I Attractive Party j Given Last ffight I Mrs. W. A.
