I've been on the sick list with the la grippe for the last week but am feeling better now. Was afraid I was going lo have ono of my annual cases of larangitis but guess its past danger of that. The weather here Is so much like Oregon coast weather; rainy and the days cold. We had a fine trip across the "big drink." I didn't fart sick enough to even miss a meal in the 14 clay's trip. Didn't see any thing of a submarine. I think they are being proved a fako of late. This is certainly a quocr old coun try. Everything scorns hundreds of years behind tho times wooden shoes, ox teams, horses driven one in front of the other, very soldom abreast, people living In one part of the house and In the next room have somo hogs fattening for market or a herd of cattle or sheep and the back yard is tho street. Well folks, how Is everybody? Suppose Hattle is still working for the O.-W. R. & N. Well, as re strictions on this writing proposi tion are so rigid they are to be made short and snappy. So hoping every body Is In the host of health and en- Joy a happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy Now Year. Will close. Awaiting a reply, I re main. Your cousin, LOET1I 3.

Sessuo Hayaknwa, tho well-known star of "The liottle Imp," "Alien Souls," nnd other productions, is tho star of the production and he has been able to lond to tho char acter of Togo all the charm and humor of his great genius.

Miss Bessie Lantz returned to Whitmnn college Wednesday, where she is spe cinlizing in music. Miss Beckweth returned to Cove Saturday, having spent the holidays with friends in Salem. The election of officers in the Meth odist Sunday school resulted ns fol lows: Frank Roberts, superintendent; Mrs. E. M.

Cove branch of the Red Cross has just made another big shipment of ar ticles to headquarters, as follows: (!) hospital bedshirts, 25 dishtowels, 25 tray cloths, 20 cup covers, 24 wash towels, 20 handkerchiefs, 12 bunches for Lnwson and his stolen child, also turns up at Joe's place, and the two men recognize each other. This starts a bloody liattlo In which Law son takes a prominent part nnd res cues Marta at the risk of his life. Joe dies without letting his son find out the truth nnd the children of the two bitter enemies learn to love each other. Tho atmosphere, construction and stage direction in this melodrama are very much to the credit of the producer. Tho acting also is of merit. Dorothy Phillips Is appeal ing ns Marta and almost convinces one that a pure, inocent-mlnded woman such as stio depicts, might be found dealing faro in n gambling hall. Wm. Stowoll has the breadth of shoulders and also of mental grasp required for the character of young Lnwson. Lon Chancy makes the had mnn of the plot a little too palpable, but is forceful neverthe less. Evelyn Selby Is practically faultless ns Hilda, and William Clif ford keeps Hal Curtis up to the mark. Ed. Brown, Tom Wilson nnd Clare De Ilrey complete the cast. "Pay Me" will bo shown nt the Star, Sunday and Monday. Had the (iiip Throe Weeks.. With January comes lagrippe.
