Mr. Roosevelt may not think that
there are any undesirable owuon ol

The government la anxloul to give
employment to the Idle rich on the

It Is more blessed to give than to

to be despised.
Congratulations to Savannah, and
may the racing automobiles smash

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

the Garden of Eden, likewise the
trouble.
Carrie Nation has sailed for Eu
rope. Now, If she could collar Cas

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

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

It Is reported that there was
great relief In the moonshine dis

turned out to be real.
Now that Mr. Rockefeller has pro

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

Mountaineers and the Savagea on
the flats near Pine Drook. It was
the first game Patten had aeen for

Patten became Interested In the

of the players as they pulled and

Suddenly one of them gave the

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

some of them going down his throat,

telegram from Joe Gans in which the
colored fighter declines to meet
Packy McFarland before the Cof

Gans declares he Is making too

to come to the coast for a battle. The
refusal of Gans comes aa ashock to
Coffroth, who was planning to sur

CATTLE FREEZING ON RANG KB.
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.

GIVES LIFE BLOOD.
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.

The generous pastor Is now In the
hospital In an extremely weak con
dition over the loss of blood, but Is
In every other respect none the
worse. He will be able, according
to the physicians, to leave the hos
pital tomorrow. In speaking of the
operation and the sacrifice of the
pastor one of the doctors said this
afternoon that It was an heroic act
and one that few are willing to un
dergo.
