LITTLE OF EVERYTHING Mr. Roosevelt may not think that there are any undesirable owuon ol the Outlook. The government la anxloul to give employment to the Idle rich on the witness stand. It Is more blessed to give than to receive; but a receiver's Job Is not to be despised. Congratulations to Savannah, and may the racing automobiles smash nothing but records. In New Jersey a woman was sent to jail for saying that she was Eve. A fig for Jersey Justice. Tom Johnson Is all right. Having given up his automobiles, he's a bet ter accident Insurance risk. The Kaiser has quieted down, but It may be a good Idea to keep the "Watch on the Rhine" on him. One week's official talk about the tariff takes up 700 pages of cold type. Good Lord, deliver It! , Mr. Richard Croker generously says that New York 1b a greater city than it was when he owned It. The suggestion that Bryan might run again caused Croker to laugh. It causes other Democrats to swear. If stocks "go up," according to promise, let us hope the people won't have to "stand from under." Prosperity should feel perfectly at home. There's the same old peg where he used to hang his hat up. Foraker Is still a fire-alarm In Ohio, and If they turn the hose on him, what will become of the white wash. Fire ravaging the distilleries of Kentucky just as It that state needed to prove that she has whisky to burn. What! Prince Helle threatened to break Into a monastery? Impos sible! He must have got his doors mixed. However, Mr. Carnegie Is not In favor of cutting the tariff as reck lessly as he does the English lan guage. Willing to admit that some por tions of Texas have the climate for the Garden of Eden, likewise the trouble. Carrie Nation has sailed for Eu rope. Now, If she could collar Cas tro and lend the queen of Holland a hatchet! And we shall have "Sunny Jim" Sherman to visit us. Remember him? He ran with Taft for vice president. As the Gatun dam shows a dispo sition to get upon Its feet again. It will save the country numerous oth er damns. The play of "The Two Johns" on the witness stand wasn't so dra matic. They needed too much prompting. Chicago grafters, when convicted, are placed In the broom factory de partment, being experts In making clean sweeps. The news that the Gatun dam has "lost Its south toe" proves that there has been too much kicking over that ranal business. Perhaps Castro will get one lick less If he goes to Holland of his own free will and puta himself In posi tion for the slipper. It Is reported that there was great relief In the moonshine dis tricts of Georgia when the balloon turned out to be real. Now that Mr. Rockefeller has pro nounced diet a qualification for wealth, we may expect the special ists to be overworked. Congressman Hobson calls the president down. The congressman would do well to stand aside If the president should step down. With all of his other troubles, the baby emperor of China ought to be glad that he has not to bother with the selection of a cabinet. It Is ryorted that the knlser Is suffering from a bad cold, which continues to lake Its normal course.

"Rich New Yorker who has en tered president's cabinet," is the heading a local paper gives to a picture of the new secretary of the avy. The "rich part Is all right, but the chances are that the people of Detroit, Mich., where Truman Newberry was born and always lived up till the time he was called to Washington, will object to New York getting credit for what does not be long to her. SWALLOWED 2S HKT OK TEETH Football Knocks Teeth Down Spec tator's Throat. NEW YORK, Doc. 4. Charles Patten of West Caldwell, N. J., at tended a football game between the Mountaineers and the Savagea on the flats near Pine Drook. It was the first game Patten had aeen for many years, and he declares It will be the last. Patten became Interested In the contest and In his excitement ven tured on the field. His mouth was wide open In laughter at the antics of the players as they pulled and hauled and pummelled each other. Suddenly one of them gave the pigskin a kick tt-nt sent It flying straight toward Patten. He ducked, but was too late, and the ball caught him squarely In the mouth, Patten had been to Neward and purchased a set of upper teeth, cost ing 122, which the ball smashed, some of them going down his throat, almost choking him. Patten was gasping and sputtering when the playera and spectators alike went to his aid, and by vigorously pounding him on the back enabled him to cough up the loose teeth. REVENl'E 2.0)43,303. S. F.

Fight promoter Jainea Coffroth holds a telegram from Joe Gans in which the colored fighter declines to meet Packy McFarland before the Cof forth club here on New Years day. Gans declares he Is making too much money In his Baltimore re sort to make It worth while for him to come to the coast for a battle. The refusal of Gans comes aa ashock to Coffroth, who was planning to sur prls the fistic world. First the mat ter was broached to Packy who was willing. In fnct, Packy was glad ot the chance of following Nelson's ad vice to him to go out and do some good for himself. Coffroth next enthused Ben Sellg. Gan'a manager, and things looked rosy until the crusher was put on the whole scheme by Gsns himself. The telegram of declination was tenderly worded, but to Gans, who Is mnking money, tho offer did not look attractive. WOMAN HOHSETIIIEK DEAD. Dies at Walla Wnlln III (living llirlh to Twins.

Early Winter Will Cause Enormous Losses to Colorado Htwkmcu. DENVER, Colo., Dec. 3. Thous ands of cattle on the ranges of Colo rado are reported to be starving, with the prospect that there will be an un precedented loss to the cattlemen during the winter, which opened early, and has caught a majority of stockmen unprepared. Feed Is selling at almost prohib itive prices In the range district, hay now bringing $25 to $50 a ton In the Arkansas valley and Park Range districts. In the Park Range district the first snow, which foil early In October, still covers the ranges and hundreds of cattle perished In the first storm. This number was In creased to thousands in the storm of the past few days and the stock men are desperate. These cattle cannot be shipped, because they are In poor condition and are not beef cattle. Other persons have reported the same conditions from all over the southeastern and western quarters of the state. The temperature fell be low zero last night, generally east of the continental divide, and caused great suffering among the badly nourished range herds. Too Beautiful to Hold a Job. A Medford lady who advertised tor a woman to do general housework received the following letter from Mtss Lam son ot Portland: "Dear Madam: I have seen your advertisement tn this week's paper. I want a place to work In a small family whero there are no young men. I am a good cook, and neat and handy and pleasant to get along with, and am only 23 years old, go ing on 24. "Every man thinks I am extra good looking, and I have been both ered to death at nearly every place I hare worked by the men running after me, and I want to get a place away from a village, where the men won't chase after me. "I worked for two ladles at Port land and lost my job because their husbands took me out driving nights. If your husband is an old man, I can get along with you, and you will like me, and would like to stay with you for a year." The Medford lady will not even give Miss Lamson a trial. Her hus band la not old. DAUGHTER OF NEIGHBORHOOD. Score of Little Girl's Playmate Con tributed Cuticle for Her Body. CHICAGO, Dec. 3. "The daugh ter of the neighborhood," that Is what they call C -your -old Anrte Meyer, who lives .tt 151 Cortes street. and the proprietorship ot the neigh bor? In Annie hai been well earned, for Annie Is carrying around on her : own fare, arms aal body patches of skin from all her playmates and a number of grown persons. It was about two months Ago that Annie tan out In the alley in her Sunday clothes and began to play around nn eld mattress that she found there A neighbor had th-owa the mattress out and set fire to it. Far from scaring Annie away, the fire delight ed her. But the flames Ignited her dress and beforo her father could tear it from her bod she was se verely burned. At the Norwegian Doaconess lms pitnl the doctors said that she would probably recover, but that an ap palling amount of skin grafting would have to he done. Annies father Is a poor man, a teamster, with five children, of whom Annie Is the youngest. His wife died suddenly at a birthday party four years ago, and the burden of work ing and keeping house as well has been great. The magnitude of the operation proposed dazed him and he went home and told the neigh bors. "I will give her some of my skin." A score of volunteers offered them selves thus. Arrangements were soon made for the operations. Annie's four broth ers. I.'i of her playmates and a num ber of adult neighbors gave her of their cuticle. She returned home yestcrdny with her fresh coat of skin, muffled In bandages, but sure of health and comeliness. Reflections of a Bachelor. (New York Press.) A woman can always convince her self you are in love with her unless you are. A mean trick for a man to play on a girl who rejects his proposal Is to take her at her word. A girl wants to stay In bed when she has a cold so that men can't see the red nose that goes with It. A man's Idea ot being popular Is being allowed to buy drinks for peo ple who wouldn't do anything for him It they could. The kind of a novel a woman dotes on Is where the beautiful clothes and costly jewels of the hero ine are an adorable setting to all the heart agony she has to suffer. TO PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 8. Poor, down-trodden man has a champion in Madam Yale, the beauty sharp. All the women know Mud am Yale, by reputation, one Is to the cos metic trade what the pickle king Is with his 67 varieties. The madam la making a starring tour of the coast this season and held forth at the Helllg to the biggest crowd of women that has been gathered here since the W. C. T. U. convention. There was just one man In the audi ence (not counting the attaches of the theater, of course), and he had to blush furiously In his embarrass ment. In a heart-to-heart talk. Madam Yale stood up for the men, especially the married men, In a way to entitle her to a vote of thanks. The lone man In the audience considered it very good advice. The women In the audience the married women snickered and made mental reserva tions, no doubt. Cooking a Husband. "When your husband comes home tired and cross, treat him as though he was 111," said Madam Yale. "Don't bicker with him; don't quarrel. Be soft and gentle and soothing. Make him comfortable. Ot course, I know there are some tncorrlglbles in the world, but they are very scarce. If you find you can do nothing with him, go your way and you will find he will soon come running after you." (Applause by the women.) "After you have used all your arts to catch the right man for a husband, don't sit down and say 'he's mine and can't look at any one else.' The same arts which won him must be continued all the time. You must continue to look attractive. Don't sit down and let your waist line grow large. Don't permit your neck to lose Its curves. Don't fail to keep up your personal appearance." (An enthusiastic usher applauded, whereupon 300 women turned a cold and glittering eye on the unfortu nate man suspecting him of the out burst. The man slunk into a dark corner In fear and trembling. Did you ever have 300 women give you the frosty look at once? The sen sation Is indescribable.) Then Madam Yale talked beauty culture. This Is what the women wanted to hear, rather than how to treat a husband. The women had flocked to the theater for an hour before the doors opened. While they were waiting they scanned the pink fashion plate samples distrib uted at department stores. Nearly every woman In the house put her hands to her hair every few minutes and fussed with It. Some of them sneaked pocket mirrors from hand bags and two were seen to run a powder puff over their faces. i Some Needed Help. Almost every woman entered the theater looking abashed and gave vent to a nervous giggle. An odd thing about the audience was that 90 per cent were middle-aged and i scores were white-haired. There was i scarcely a miss of sweet sixteen In I the theater. Among the audience i there were good-looking women, but 1 a great many looked as though they ; needed attention from Madam Yale. Madam Yale said that "beauty Is the connection between this world and higher realms. Beauty is asso ciated with Goodness and Ugliness with Wickedness." She informed the women that "Only by being beau tiful can we Imitate the angels." And that "Woman Is taken at her face value." She also stated that "Beauty only skin deep Isn't beauty," for it must go all the way through. Madam Yale asserted that by beauty culture "we grow more beautiful as we ad vance In years." "Woman's beauty Is power, but the woman who uses her beauty for wickedness will suffer retribution." There were many other remarks to the same effect, interlarded with rec ommendations ot certain lotions which the Madam manufactures. There were plenty of tips on how to be a good-looker, such as "walk gracefully, be picturesque and do not he commonplace, but artistic." While she doesn't say how old she Is, Madam Yale's age is guessed at, say 4 5. She is no spring chicken, but her figure Is plump and there isn't a wrinkle in sight. Her hair Is ot the same golden hue as Marie Ca bin's or Lillian Russell's. Madam Yale Is attractive, but there are scores of show and chorus girls com ing Portlandward every season who are as eye-pleaslng. And as for be ing well preserved, Lillian Russell has her at a disadvantage. Madam Yale made her first en trance In a sort of white satin prin cess (maybe It was nn evening gown), but at any rate It was white satin. Her hat had almost as many plumes as the one worn by Louise Kent a few weeks ago. In the sec ond part of her show Madam Yale wore abbreviated skirts a la French dancers. In the third part ot the entertainment the beauty specialist marched on the stage In tights. The one male outsider took one flash at the exhibit and fled. Foil FARMERS ONLY.

Heroic Act by Minister at Walla Walln, Wash. WALLA WALLA, Wash., Dec. 5. In order to save the life of his friend and a member of his flock. Rev. A. A. Metcalf of Pasco allowed a pint of his blood to be Infused Into the arm of Freeman Keith in the Walla Walla hospital today, just before the latter rnderwent a dan gerous operation for gangrene. Keith had been sick for several weeks and was In nn extremely weak condition at the time of the opera tion. Attending physicians believed that the operation could be success ful if rich, healthy blood were in fused into the body of the patient. While strengthening Keith very ma tnrlally, It was not sufficient to save his life, and he died shortly after. One Doctor Only One No sense in running from one doctor to another!
