- 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. '

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.

His Text.
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

young man finds thing running too
smoothly be Is apt to get bored and
