The members of the Gypsy Club

urday afternoon, at the home of Miss
Zida Goldsmith, and appropriate to
the season a Colonial tea was given
Elaborate decorations, sugestive of
the times of George Washington, to
gether with many emblems were feat
ures of the occasion and flags waved
In profusion, while cherries and little
hatchets helped to beautify the table
which was Drofusely decorated. At an
appropriate time the engagement of
Miss Edna Daulton to Mr. Mort La-
tourette was announced, which an
nouncement was heartily received as
Miss Daulton Is one of the members
of the club, and Is held in such high
esteem by all its members. Another
feature of the evening was the presen
tation of a sterling silver spoon to
Miss Ethel Albright who Is soon to
take up her abode In the beautiful
Hood River country. Many piano
numbers were given and greatly en-
loved. Those attending were attired
In Colonial customes. In giving the

LOOKING FOR AN OPENING.
April 18, When Market Is Expected to
Be Better.
About 150 shingle mill men of the
state of Washington met Monday In
Soattle, where a movement was start
ed to keep the mills suspended until
April 18. By far the greater part of
the mills of the state are already
closed, having done little or nothing
since November, when the Eastern
market weakened and new advanced
freight rates became effective. Spo
radically they have been resuming op
orations, but, In the Judgment of those
at the meeting today, presided over
by D. W. Bass, formre manager of
tho Shingle Mills Bureau, It was the
sentiment that the present state of
the market did not justify resumption.
Estimated presont demand Is far be
low 10 per cent of posslblo output.
Twelve thousand men, It Is estimated,
are affected.
The Ladles' Missionary Society of
the First Presbyterian church held
Its regular monthly meeting Tuesday
afternoon at the residence of Mrs. E.
F. Story. The subject for debate at
this meeting being China. The an
nual election of officers at this meet
ing resulted as follows: President,
Mrs. George C. Brownell; vice-president,
Mrs. J. R. Landsborough; secre
tary. Mrs. A. Robertson; treasurer,
Mrs. M. M. McGoehan. In view of the
great advancements that have been
made In the Orient in the past few
years, and especially In China, this
meeting was of especial Interest. In
a population more than the state of
Oregon in China the Presbyterians
have but one missionary, and he has
been greatly handicapped by lack of
funds. Rev. Frank W. Bible, who Is
lecturing all along the Coast upon Chi
na, tells of the great moves that
country has made within the past
few years, and mostly due to Its own
efforts, not only in a Christian way,
but practically and In an educational
line as well. Rev. Bible Is the Presby
terian missionary at Hong Chow, and
his lectures are stirring the missionary
societies to strenuous efforts all along
the coast.
Ante Up, John D.
Tho Standard Oil Company must
pay the fine of $29,210,000 Imposed on
it by Judge K. M. Landls. The appeal
was dealt a death blow Monday by
tho United Statos Supreme Court
when that tribunal decided that the
Elklns law was not repealed by the
Hepburn act.
The case In which this Important
decision was handed down was that of
the Great Northern railroad, which
was recently found guilty nnd fined
under the Elklns law for granting re
bates to the W. P. Dovereaux Company
of Minneapolis. The learned attorneys
who have been grasping at every tech
nicality to save the oil trust from pay
ing the big fine, pinned their hope
to their contention that tho Elklns
law was ropealed by tho Hepburn act.
It was under tho provisions of the
former law that the trust was fln,ed.
And now the highest court has decid
ed againBt them. Will they ante up?
The Women's Foreign Missionary
Society of the Methodist church held

those who tripped the light fantastic.
A goodly number of people enjoyed
the Presbyterian choir social at the
Thirsty Hold-Up Man.
L. T. Mitchler walked into the Hub
saloon Wednesday evening and, with
an arrogant air and manner of Impu
dence, invited himself to a drink at
the expense of the proprietor. Mr.
Englund, at the time on duty, ex
plained at length that Wednesday was
not bargain day and that the resort
of which he was one of the proprietors
had discontinued the free list. The
undesirable customer argued the point
In loud words and not extra choice
language laying aside commercial
usage in such matters, he insisted on
his right to a limited amount of the
liquid refreshment without producing
the customary dime. The argument
grew more and more heated, and the
proprietor s logical argument not car
rying conviction to the mind of the
thirsty Mitchler, Mr. Englund remind
ed him that outside was the stream
ing moonshine and falling raindrops
that were his without price and well
suited to his present mood. With a
tight grip on his collar the proprietor
proceeded to escort his unwelcome vis
itor to these outside attractions and
had him well on the way when, hor
ror of horrors! the bellicose custo
mer produced a big six-shooter, which
he dizzily flourished in most every
direction. A gray streak showed the
line of retreat of the proprietor a
hurry-up call brought the full police
force on the scene, and the hapless
Mitchler, between two robust vigils
of the peace, took up his halting, un
soldlerllke march to the city bastile.
Thus ended the romance of the thirsty
hold-up man.

Improvement Club Gives Supper.
About 70 people gathered at the club
room of the Mt. Pleasant Civic Im
provement Club in Mt. Pleasant school
house last Saturday evening and par
took of the many good things the la
dles of that place had brought to
gether for the satisfaction of the Inner
man. The way the good viands dis
appeared spoke well for the quality
of the salads, cold meats, the fine
home-made bread, pies, and coffee with
genuine cream In it. The treasury of
the club was increased to the amount
of $18, which will be used toward the
construction of more sidewalks.
The energetic people of this com
munity have constructed at the pres
ent time something near one mile of
three-foot Bldewalks, and are contem
plating the construction of something
like another mile. They have raised
the money for these walks through en
tertainments of various kinds and
speaks well for the energy and push
of the people of this neighborhood.

Women Who Wear Well
It Is astonishing how great a change
few years of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which Is rudely handled. The
matron Is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, Ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain Is robbing the cheek
of Its freshness and the form of Its
fairness.

attractive position with the govern
ment and one of his "perks' was be
ing uble to marry any one he wanted.
All he hnd to do was to go up and tag
some lady and say 'You're It!' and her
folks would seud out announcements
and the government executioner put In
a requisition for a new consignment
of hardware. What show would such
a monster have had where women did
the proposing?
"One of the merits 1 claim for my
matrimonial bureau is that It would
revolutionize society by Introducing
economy. Now, everybody knows that
it costs the average man so much to
land a girl that It takes him and his
wife several years after marriuge to
pay his courtship debts. My bureau
would do away with all this. Of course
the florists and candy shops and maybe
the theaters would kick on It, but what
a harvest the fellows who sell clothes
and furniture would reap! And what
a disappointment It would save the
girls! It must give any girl a jolt
after she's been showered with sup
pers and theaters and flowers and can
dy to find herself tied to the home
after marriage. Again, many a married
woman would have better clothes If
she hadn't had such a good time dur
ing the engagement period. More fel
lows would own bouses If they hadn't
tried to play the rich and generous in
the preliminary festivities.
"The bureau would also solve the
liquor problem without Introducing
prohibition. As soou as women do the
popping Carrie Nation will lose her
Job. Her occupation will be gone.
When our chances of getting married
depend on women, we'll be only too
eager to walk the chalk line. Stag
banquets would vanish from the earth.
The ladles would rule the bachelors as
much as they now rule us married
men.
"Cases of tobacco heart would be as
scarce as centenarians. We would be
put on short tobacco rations and only
allowed to smoke the brands that look
ed and smelled good to the ladies. As
for poker well, that would soon be
obsolete. Once In awhile we might be
allowed to play hearts or casino, but
the most popular young men would be
those who didn't know what the paste
boards look like."
"But what would the bureau do In
a case where a woman proposed to a
man nnd then exercised her feminine
prerogative of changing her mind?"
asked the reporter.
"Now, that would be regulated by
the interstate commerce law," replied
Mr. Bede. "According to the law, she
couldn't change her schedule without
giving a mouth's notice."
"What would the bureau do If the
girl proposed to the wrong man?" per
sisted the reporter.
"Well," answered Mr. Bede, "If she
popped to some fellow who wanted to
sidestep, the bureau would make her
show cause why she should be allowed
to marry him."
In response to a query as to whether
a woman, if allowed to propose, would
still be allowed to name the day, Mr.
Bede replied, after a period of deep
thought, "I think the challenged party
ought to have the right to name the
time and place as well as weapons,
but I suppose they could come to a
compromise on that."
Mr. Bede says that as yet his plans
for the bureau of matrimony have not
been completed, because he hasn't had
the time to give It the attention that
Its importance requires.

Hog Cholera.
The greatest draw back to the' hog
industry which breeders In this coun
try have to contend with Is what Is
known as "hog cholera" and "swine
plague."
Hog cholera is a highly contagious
disease and unless checked is liable
to carry off a great number of hogs
in a very short time.
Mrs. A. P. Williams, of Burnetts
Creek, Ind., tells of an experience
which he had with some hogs that had
the cholera. "Five years ago," says
Mr. Williams, "I was in the employ
of Mr. J. D. Richardson, Lafayette,
Ind., as his barn foreman. Some fine
hogs that I was feeding took the ehol
era. I gave them Sloan's Liniment
and did not lose a hog. Some were so
bad that they would-not drink sweet
milk and I was compelled to drench
them. I have tried it at every oppor

Would Drive Women From Shops Early
to Seat Workers In Cars.
One man In Chicago has taken upon
his shoulders a huge task. It Is in
volved In this proposition: Women
shoppers should buy early and get out
of the shopping district before 5 p. m.
Then the working girl and the tolling
man could get seats In the street cars.
The brave man who proposes this
Idea Is S. B. Mills, a member of the
real estate board. At the board's meet
ing the other day be broached the mat
ter. "I have made a study of this situa
tion for many years," said Mr. Mills.
"Night after night I have watched
these lazy women, with their sprawl
ing bundles, march into the cars and
take up half the seats. If a poor work
lug girl who has been worn to a thread
by waiting on them all day manages to
get a seat It Is a miracle.
"If a laboring man, heavy and tired
from his day's work, doesn't rise to
give them his seat, supposing by any
chance he happeus to have one, he is
Immediately regarded as a dolt and an
idiot.
"These women ought to be driven out
of the district before the close of the
stores.
"Let us try moral suasion and coax
ing and see if we can move their selfish
hearts nnd solve one of the great fea
tures of the transportation problem.
The ministers ought to preach on this
subject."
