was shut up Id-Khartum. He went to

pose that be should move on behalf
of Gordon and claim the Sudan as bis
reward. Leopold answered that ..be
would ont accept the Sudan If it were
"offered to blm on a sliver salver,"
but Mr. Stead urged his point, and
they debated the matter In strenuous
fashion for over an bonr.
He was exceedingly angry," said
Mr. Stead, "and raged and fumed in
such a fashion that I felt more than
once it would have given blm great
satisfaction to have drawn bis sword
and thrust it through the vitals of bla
English visitor. It was a try
ing ordeal for me. I was glad to learn
after that Leopold also felt the strain."
Meeting M. de Laveleye (who bad In
troduced Mr. Stead) some months after
ward at Spa. the king referred to the
Interview. "8tead!" be exclaimed, "it
was terrible. How that man made mi

"Doing What?" Why, thinking and talking about Connordale, of
course. Pretty soon the 56 lots that still remain unsold will be gone and more
than 200 people will be getting ready to take advantage of our building offer.
And those who have delayed . taking action will be disappointed. That is the
experience of all who fail to take advantage of a good opportunity when it is
presented to them. . .
You may say, "Why, I knew that piece of property when it was a va
cant field, and I could have bought it for a song." If that is true you also can
probably look back upon the time nto so very long- ago when La Grande was
a village. But La Grande is now a full-fledged young city with the second great
est pay-roll in the state, and with miles of paved streets and other city improve
ments. And Connordale is the best located and choicest bit of fully-improved
and restricted residence property on the market. And La Grande is going to keep
on growing and improving, while those who stand idly by and criticize the price
of property and belittle the necessity for improvements and lead the calamity
chorus will be left at the post as usual. '
These are FACTS straight from the shoulder and every fair-minded
progressive resident of La Grande knows .that they are true. If you haven't seen
Connordale yet, let us take you down in an automobile and show it to you.
The Captain Had to Decide. - j
Etiquette on the great liners has its
difficulties, to Judge from the following :
letter: "The question of precedence '
makes a morgue of the first dinner on
board, when a few foreign titles bap- 1
pen to let their cerulean blood boll over.j
Into the soup. On a recent voyage the j
commander was told by the chief stew- j
ard that there were two Austrian i
ladles of title on board. One was an
elderly baroness: the other was higher
In rank, but quite young. BWh were
determined to sit on the right of the
skipper Driven to despair, he said. 'I
will let the ladies settle the matter ror
themselves, and 1 won't go down till .
dinner Is half over.' We bad reached
the cheese when the unhappy com
mander crept warily to his seat Both
indies were still standing frigidly be

something, so he gave the younger war
rior the seat of honor, while the rn

Can hardly have a funny bone.
What Susie Was.
The Mexican was showing his newly
arrived New Vork. guest to a room,
and after the usual courtesies he
paused on the threshold to say: "By
the way, we alwajs turn Susie loose
for the night and she will pass through
your hall on the way to the top floor,
where she catches rats. You'd better
be careful and not s'cp on her. as that
is the niy th.riL'ttuit makes Dor cross.'
