stitutlon and tho Musoum in the Yos
omlto National Park. Some of tho
finest work in the collection is from
Alaska. The basketmakers, potters
ami weavers of the entire West
coast and Socthwest from tho Alu
tlan Islands to tho Mexican border
have contributed to tho collection.
While baskets form thto principal
part of the collection, the pottery,
blankets and oher products of tho in
dustrial life of tho Indian dound it
out and make it the basis for a col
lection of tho art objects of primitive
Araorica. The Murray Warner coli
lection of Oriental art forms the
foundation for tho Chinese and Jap-
anso section of the University mus
eum. With the building up of both
tho Indian and Oriental sections,
the Oregon institution has tho basis
for a great mucsum devoted to the
peoples of the Pacific area.
Mrs. Milllcan's first toachlng exper
lenco in an Indian school was In
1893 afong the Utes, tho Uncompah
grens, and tho Ulntahs at the White
Hocks school in Utah. Six months
there gave her an Insight into the
Hfo and habits of Utah tribes. Then
she was transferred to a school near
Yuma, Arizona. Here dwelt Uie
Yumas, the Cocoapahs and the Marl
copas. After a year s service at
Yuma, Mrs. Milllcan was transferred
to Sacaton (which is the Indian
word for grass) in Arizona. Here
were the Plmas whose proud boast
it was that thoy never took up arms
against the white man. After threo
and a half years at Sacaton, Mrs.
Milllcan went to Puget Sound where
sho served a year at tho Puyallup
reservation.
Five years ago sho visited south
eastern Alaska and camo into the
possession of works of the farthest
north red men. One of the prize
specimens of the collection is that of
a Chllkat chief's robe.
While there are many valuable ex
amples of Indian art and handicraft
In the collccttion, some of the ob
jects are interesting because of their
historical or romantic origin. Others
are grim reminders of days when the
Indian took up arms against the
white man.
A Pima war club made of iron
wood, is stained with an Apache's
blood. There is a buckskin doll, ac
cording to the story told Mrs. Milll
can, wears tho hair scalped from a
white woman.

kept a watch of the stair. For either
up or down those stairs his good Sa
maritan, must go. The hall of the
rooming house remaining for a time
silent, Geoffrey sought the window.
He was still weak end uncertain as to
walking, but as it was possible that
a light step might ascend that old
stair while he was not there to see,
lie returned to his post.
He must have been In this gloomy
room now, for more than two weeks.
The flu had put him out of his head,
so tlirit lie could not measure time.
Its Interest vanished with his sud
den Illness. All that Geoffrey Gordon
could distinctly remember was som
monlng his landlady, with the con
fused request that the woman who
cared for his room be retained to give
him such care as might bo necessary.
The doctor, used to calls of the
friendless and unremnneratlve, looked
the unresponsive Geoffrey over, pro
nounced Ills case grip, and departed,
leaving medicine behind. It was not
his affulr, certainly, whether that med
icine was bestowed or not.
"What's his name?" tho doctor
briefly asked Mrs. Simpson.
"He says it's Stlnson," she replied,
"George Stlnson."
So the author who loved to study
at close range his subjects, who wrote
of people as they are lay among those
of whom ho would have written, him
self needy and unknown.
Across the blur of his" pain came
then an angel directly from heaven,
to minister to him. Like a frightened
child, Geoffrey Gordon realized the
reassuring comfort of firm, soothing
hands. Over his hot forehead the cool
hands moved rhythmically, charming
his pain away. And when he nwoke
to momentary consciousness the fol
lowing morning, the faded, Insufficient
coverlet had been miraculously re
placed by warm blankets of dainty
satin bindings.
It was when he reached weak but
sure convalescence that Jellies and
tempting small cakes and muffins'
found their way to the stand by the
bed. The delicious cakes which ho
ate so hungrily brought to him a sting
of mother-memory. The mother of his
boyhood gone so long, but still bit
terly missed.
Geoffrey, watching the stair, knew
at last why success and the many
beautiful things of life still left n
great lack which had never been lilted.
And so, wondering, speculating, ho
questioned, and vainly, concerning ills
secret deliverer and watched hope
fully, despairingly, the stair. For the
girl or woman must of course be an
occupant of this dingy rooming house.
And to settle this eager curiosity of
his he must know her.
Many went down the stair each
morning to places of employment,
many came back each night. Soon
Geoffrey must go away, but first he
must know.
There was one lovely girl ; her dark,
dancing eyes sought the Invalid out In
his wntching place.
At last In desperation the author
called to the girl under pretense of
asking her to forward a message to
Mrs. Simpson. The' girl smiled charm
ingly. .
"Sure, I'll tell the old dame," agreed
his supposed angel, "but you'd betted
believe It'll take her some time to get
a move up here. Some weight, that
old girl. Any other little thing I can
do for yousc?"
"No, thank you," nnswered Geoffrey
sadly.
That night inspiration came to him
one who had so unselfishly cared for
a sick stranger would naturally still
be interested in his condition. The next
day found him suffering an appar
ent collapse; his groaning might even
have been heard by a sympathetic lis
tener off the long hall. Geoffrey be
gan his , groaning directly nfter cus
tomary office closing time. Ho do
ducted that his Angel was among the
employed. She was and at that pre
cise moment opening a can of pine
apple for her supper.
"Dear me," murmured the Angel,
"that sounds exactly like my sick
man. What a pity he has no mother
or sister or wife to look after him."
She decided to take a peep into the
invalid's quarters. When her wtde
eyed glance revealed her former
charge ugaln prostrate, Bessie Mac
Donald, late of 'Grove Village, slipped
noiselessly into George Stlnson'a room.
She carried, some of the pineapple
with her. As she supposed, the pa
tient's lips were hot nnd dry ; thought
fully considering, Bessie fed him tho
pineapple.
Furtively the patient opened his
eyes.
No, she wasn't exactly pretty, nor
modish at all. Her soft capably
molded hand made assured, graceful
movements toward his lips. Her dark
orows drew together concernedly, a
she bent over him. Geoffrey remem
bered that same dear, anxious look In
his mother's face long ago. Suddenly,
his eyes upon her, the girl smiled,
Why, she was pretty, tenderly pretty,
and the plain little frock framed l.er
some way fittingly as one would
have one's favorite priceless picture
framed.
"So I have found you at last 1" wald
(teoffrey Gordon.
"How I have needed you, my dear I"
"I am glad to be where I am need
ed," answered Bessie confusedly.
"But I am goins to need you nl
wnys," Insisted this strange patient.
However, Bessie remained true to
her word.
Dlacksnakes Good for Golf.
Blacksnakes seeking a comfortable
home, rent and taxes free, aro Invited
to the golf links of the Coatesvllle
County club, In Coatesvllle, Pa. 'Along
the sides of tho course underbrush has
been permitted to grow thick, and
tempting rock piles with full southern
exposures have been placed to lure
tho snakes from adjacent lands. An
educational campaign has been inaug
urated among golfers with an aversion
to reptiles In order that there may
be no repetition of the deaths by vio
lence which came to two of the or
ganization's pets. Champions of the
blacksnake declare that It Is the most
efficient natural enemy of the ground
mole, which admittedly Is the natural
enemy of golf greens. Not only does
the snake go right Into the mole's bor
ings and discourage that animal's oper
ations, but it Is alleged to kill off rat
tlers and copperheads. It is harmless
to mankind, and is unlikely to appear
suddenly to disconcert a player about
to putt, for It works at night. Exchange.

Numbering German Students' Hair.
Professors who (according to a dis
patch from Berlin) recently counted
the hairs on the heads of an entire
class of men nnd women In Munich
university, must have been endowed
with remarkable patience. The ar
duous research disclosed that the
men had from 40,000 to 50,000 hairs;
the wonif-n from GO.O0O to 70,000.
Countlnp; at the rate of one hair a
second, it would take one professor
more than 10 hours to number 70.000.
Land Reclaimed From Lake.
Montenegro will gain n navigable
outlet to tho sea and nearly $0,000
acres of rich new hind, by negotiations
pending between .Tugo-Slnvla and Al
bania, which hnvo as their objective
the lowering to sen level of the ancient
lake of Scutari.
The project Involves n cost of
$2,000,000 and will lower the level of
Scutari lake by eight feet through the
tlecrfonlng of the Itlvcr Bojana, from
Scutari to the Adriatic.
The draining of the lake shores will
Increase Montenegro's territory 29,050
acres of rich lnnd. This addition will
make Montenegro self-supporting for
the first time In Its history.
Little Density In Fog.
It takes a big block of fog to make
one good swallow of wnter, says Dr.
V. J. Humphreys of the United States
Weather bureau at Washington. Tho
densest fog off Newfoundland banks
contains some 20,000 droplets In a
cubic inch, Doctor Wells nnd Doctor
Thurns of the bureau of standard
found.
To get one gulp of water enough
fog to fill u space 3 by 5 by 100 feet
would have to be condensed. In a tog
that size there are 00,000,000,000,000
particles of water. "It would talco
about a half hour to count an inch of
fog particles," says Doctor Humphreys.
Placed side by side, 2,500 to 3,000 drop
lets would be needed to fill that
length." The droplets in a cloud have
been found to be, on the average, twice
the size of a fog droplet.
Oil From Sunflower Seed.
The sunflower Is a posslblo source of
oil, a large quantity of It having been
made from sunflower seed In Russia
beforo the war. Tho cold-pressed oil
Is used for culinary and other pur
poses where n high-grade edible oil Is
required, while tho hot-pressed Is em
ployed In making soaps and Russian
varnishes. In 1011, more than 600
mills In the Caucasus were engaged-In
pressing sunflower seed. It Is pos
sible that the sunflower may some day
bo an Important oil-producing plant In
ttliis country. The. crop is now grown
to quite an extent In some parts of the
country, notably Missouri, for poultry
feed.
