Death of E. E. Coovert
(The Orugoniun)
By the death of K. E. Coovert Port
land loses a citizen who had dono
much valuable work for the city's and
state's advancement. His principal
public work was dono aB S. Benson's
legal adviser in supporting the plan
for construction of the Columbia
Kiver Highway, on which Mr. Benson
hud set his heart. That unrivaled
toad will be a monument to Mr.
Cooveit as well as to Mr. Benson, who
did much to bring it about, and to Mr.
Yeon, who supervised its construction.
Had Mr. Cooveit lived and been
elected to the State Sfcnate, he would
doubtless have assisted materially jo
modifying the road laws. Ho could ill
be spared at an oge whin he was in
full vigor and at A time when he was
rendering such aid to the state's de-velopcmcnt.

the high school there tomorrow. At

Th Stork's Lazy House Building.
The most Interesting sight In the
Rotterdam 200 was the stork, whose
nest Is sot high on a pinnacle of the
buffalo house. He was building In the
leisurely style of tlio British working
man. He would negligently descend
from the heavens with a stick. This
he would lay on the fabric and then
carefully perform his toilet, looking
around and down all the time to see
that every one else was busy. When
ever his eye lighted on a toddling child
or a perambulator It visibly brighten
ed. "My true work I" he seemed to
say. "This nest building is mere by
paths of industry." After drinking and
overlooking and congratulating him
self thus for a few ndnutes he would
stroll off over tlio housetops for anoth
er stick. He was unquestionably a
king of tlio garden. Lucas In "A Wan

Little Dorothy not only liked her tea
and coffeo to have the appearanco of
being "real and truly," but she also
liked to tasto the flavor of each. One
afternoon her mother took her to a
friend's home, where tea was served at
S o'clock.
The hostess gave to Dorothy what
she usually gave to her own children,
of Dorothy's age viz, hot water, sugar
and milk. Dorothy tasted hers politely
nd ate her little cakes.
"Why, Dorothy, you aren't drinking
your tea. dear, isn't It sweet enough?"
asked the hostess.
Yes, Mrs. C, it's sweet enough," re
plied the child.
Then why aren't you taking It?"
It's too dull," she replied. New

Gsorgs's Birthday.
The date of Washington's birthday
was. according to the calendar at the
time of his birth, Feb. 11. This became
Feb. 22 when the Gregorian calendar
was adopted In 1752. The flrst place
to uso tho new date In celebrating the
event is said to have been Newport,
R. I. As late as 1788 Washington him
self apparently used tho old style In
referring to his birthday. Uls diary
for that year has this entry: "Feb. 11
went up to Alexandria to the celebra
tion of my birthday. Mauy maneuvers
were iwrformed by uniform corps ana
