W.-r. T. r. TotUite. ..'..;.,., :.,;. - The Oregon Woman's Christian Temperance union baa done many food things the past year, but none better than the erection of a cottage 26 by 30 feet In size, with a roomy porch across the entire front, and two stories high, ou the Chautauqua grounds at Gladstone near Oregon City.' This ws8 primarily" intended for the work of the organization dur ing the assembly where they maintain headquarters each year, with dally programs covering every reform, giv- . Ing special attention to tha one for whose work they are organized. They also keep open a rest room tor tired women and girls, and have sleeping accommodations for about 20 women In the second story. They plan, bow ever, to keep this open next year during- the months of July and August with a matron who will haperon the working women and girls, and afford such a breathing; time In God's out' doors for a nominal cost. They hope . to be able to open one more such out- ' lug resort next year but this one so near Portland, and reached with the expense of a few cents, will be a god send to many a tired woman and girl with a small Income. ' ': ' i; ' ' ' - Governor West seems to be a man of many law suits. He wau hardly taken office when some one started a libel suit. Now be is to tia sued taj a land company alleglu" thut he tried to ruin the company's business. . As a matter of fact sound minded people . realize there la nothing to such a' charge and the governor will have the upport of most tierm.e if he win nn I only make all of the companies sel ling lands, but every company In the state selling stock, come to the. line In real earnest. With the northwest alone having a -bumper crop there Is reason for heav ier travel than eve rto this region next fall. Bear in mind tiis Ch'cago land show is to hue a decided effect upon the Immigration th's year. . THE BOrS LAST GUESS. I H Wotld Bs Miracle to Explain a Miracle. N the days wben board schools were young a visit was paid to one of those schools by a local dignitary- wbo had theories on the subject of Scripture lessons. He requested the headmaster to pick out a particularly dull boy and let him ask that lad a few questions. Whereupon the follow ing dialogue ensued: ' "i' "Now, George Jones, what do you understand by a miracle?" Boy, looking helplessly at visitor, makes no answer. ; . Visitor (triumphantly, to headmas ter) You see. It's as I've always main tained. . Scripture must be explained and Illustrated If any comprehension of ita meaning Is to penetrate this sort of skull. ' He can't tel) me what a mira cle is. Now hear me make him under stand. Headmaster (with sarcastic Incredul ity) If yon do, sir, you'll have wrought a miracle yourself. ! haven't a duller boy In the school, If you'd question tome of the others Visitor No, no; I'll show you what t can do with this one by using com mon sense methods. Now, my boy, pay attention to me. You' don't know Boy confesses It by his silence.' """ "Now listen to me. Suppose you got op Id the middle of the night nnd saw the suu shining, what should you say it was?" ' , - " Boy (promptly) I should say tt was the moon. - . Visitor (nrgumentatlvely) But you couldn't, you know, if you saw It was the sun. Boy (doggedly) I -should see It wasn't ' . Visitor (recovering from a disconcert tag pause) But If some one told you that It was th sun? ; Boy fcmpbatlcally) I should say he was a llnr. - Visitor (angry at such persistent stu pidity) But suppose I told you that it wusrenlly the sun. You wouldn't dure to tell me that I wus a llnr, would you? Boy (hesitates a moment, then, In accents of conviction) I should say you wus werry druuk. Tlt-BIts. The Uul Ratult.

The three-yeur-old son of a Method 1st minister was with his mother at 11 entheriiitj of ladles. At the proper time he was given a cooky, lie ate It in cli'irt order nnd asked tor another, The bostons suld: : . 'I'll give you another it you will sing for us." ' , ' ' "Can't sing," was his reply, "but I know something I can say." t "That wllldo all right," the lady an swered, expecting to hear "Twinkle, twinkle, little star," or some other nursery classic. But the little fellow drew himself np In real Sunday school fashion and said his piece: " ' "God loveth cheerful giver." The lady, gnvn him the cooky, and the vbole company seemed to be very cheerful about It Harper's Magazine Kept Him Gbtsing. The course of true lover never doe run smooth." "Well, It's a good thing.
