For break(ast Indulge sparingly In
baked apples, stewed prunes or similar

cream. Let dinner consist very largely
of salads and vegetables, such as let

greens, spinach, celery, etc. Let sup

being careful to avoid cakes, sweets,

NAMES OF OUR CITIES.
Scant Use of the Greek Word "Polls"
In Town Nomenclature.
"Gallipoll, in the Dardanelles, Is pro
nounced with the accent on the sec
ond syllable," said a college tutor, "but
Gallipolls, the county seat of Gallia
county, 0., has been pronounced by the
people there for, a hundred years or
more 'Gallipollce.'
- "Gallia county was settled by the
French about 1788, who gave it the
name the Romans gave to their coun
try, and they mixed Rome and Greece
for the name of their coun'ty seat,
which thereupon became a good Amer
ican name and has so remained to this
day, which brings up the use of the
Greek -word "polls" lu the construction
of our town nomenclature.
"In a country whose people are so
fond of calling their towns, no matter
how small, 'cities' tt would seem that
polls' would be foremost in our urban
compounds; but, strangely enough, It Is
not so. As far as I can discover it is
used only In Indianapolis. Minneapolis,
Annapolis, Copperopolls, Metropolis,
Kanopolis, Cosmopolis, Demopolis, Gal
lipolls and Opolis.
"Indianapolis, Ind., has a namesake
In Oklahoma; Minneapolis, Minn., has
one in Kansas and one In North Caro
lina; Annapolis, Md., has one each in
California, Illinois, Missouri aud Ohio.
California has a Copperopolls In addi
tion to her Annapolis; Kansas has a
Kanopolis and an Opolis in addition to
ber Minneapolis; Washington has Cos
mopolis aud Alabama Demopolis, while
Nevada has a Metropolis, and Illinois
has the some and an Annapolis. Final
ly Ohio has Gallipolls, and it alone of
all puts the accent on the last syllable,
'Gnlll-pollee.' There is but one Gal

this country showing the Greek 'polls'

Saved by the Telephone.
The word "hello" has been saved to
popular usage by the telephone, and
by that alone. Thirty-five years ago
there was a real crusade against the
socalled slang phrase, and the great
conversational invention came to the
rescue Just in time.
Ages of Race Horses.
The age of race horses Is taken from
the first day of January In the year in
which they are born. Thus, a horse
foaled in March would be counted as
a foal until the following Jan. 1, Just
the same as an animal born In Decem

DAZED THE GUESTS
The Grand Vizier's Speech at the
Gridiron Club Dinner.
FAIRLY BLAZED WITH ABUSE.
It Looked Very Much Like the Makings
of "a Bully Row," but the Surprising
' Climax Averted All Danger of Diplo
matic Complications.
In January, 1904, Mirza All Asgar
Khan, former grand vizier of Persia,
was making a trip around the world
and was booked to sail to Europo from
New York. His attendance at the
Gridiron club dinner In Washington
was announced In the newspapers.
What happened at that banquet is
thus dramatically described by Arthur
Wallace Dunn in bis book, "Gridiron
Nights:"
The grand vizier came In late, after
the dinner had been In progress for a
time, and was accompanied by Scott
0. Bone of the Washington Post, his
host of the evening. Before taking his
seat, directly In front of the president
of the United States, he bowed low to
that official and then made a sweep
lug, salaam to the assembled company.
Senator Beverldge was Introduced
ad shook bands. William H. Taft,
then governor general of the Philip
pines, who had crossed the ocean on
the same ship with the grand vizier,
walked across the dining room and
shook hands, expressing his pleasure
at seeing him again. Senators Aldrlch,
Gorman and Hanna and Speaker. Can-
lion, sitting near by, were introduced.
After the dinner had progressed for
a time President Louis A. Coolidge in
troduced the oriental guest as one who
had Journeyed far and who came that
night with views he had gathered in
his travels.
Mlrza All Asgar Khan, with more
profound bows, said that his message
to the Gridiron club and Its guests had
been written, as he was somewhat im
perfect In our language, and then he
began to read from large sheets of pa
per. "Hie people of the United States," he
began, "are watching every day to see
whether there is to be a war in the old
world. In the east we also watch for
that war. It is to observe preparations
for that war that I travel.
"I was in Japan before I came to
this country. In Persia we take great
Interest in Japan, because the next
war will be the great struggle between
the civilizations of the east and west
We believe that the eastern civilization
will overcome the western civilization.
"This will-mark the downfall of Rus
sia, tbnt treacherous power that has
plotted against peace" of mankind from
the days of Peter the Great and has
been the hypocrite, the false friend of
every weaker power it has aimed to
destroy."
He was Interrupted by a member of
the club, who suggested that as the
Russian ambassador was our guest no
such discussion should be permitted.
Mlrza All looked puzzled and contin
ued:" ,
"The barbarous rule of Germany will
be brought to an end, and a higher mo
rality will supplant the vicious rule of
the vandals who have kept the Intelli
gence of Europe under a reign of ter
ror" Again ho was Interrupted and atten
tion called to the presence of the Ger
man ambassador. The situation was
explained to the grand vizier, and he
turned over two or three"" pages of his
manuscript and continued:
"And then Great Britain, the tradi
tional enemy of the free American peo
ple perfidious Albion, as she is called
by one of your poets she has been the
trader of the world buyer and seller
of men pretending to love liberty, but
hypocritically sheltering slavery when
it could be to her interest"
President Coolidge stopped him by
sharp raps of the gavel. The faces of
the diplomats were drawn into frowns
of disapproval. Guests and members
were aghast, while President Roose
velt looked as If be thought it was the
makings of a bully row.
"We are very much obliged," said
Mr. Coolidge, "to his excellency the
grand vizier, but as some members of
the British embassy are with us"
"You will not let me speak," said the
vizier angrily; "then I bid you good
night! You invite me here-you ask
me to speak I prepare my speech
you are as bad as the rest You have
no free press you have no free speech 1
I go."
And as he was making sweeping ges
tures he tore away his-fez, wig and
beard, and there stood Francis E.
Leupp of the New York Evening Post.
He had put over the greatest hoax
ever perpetrated by the Gridiron club.
The real Mlrza Ail Asgar Khan had
sailed for Europe that very day.
Long Range Pensions.
Uncle Sam's pension system is noth
ing in Its long reach compared to cer
tain pensions that are being paid in
European countries.
Only three years ago there died in
Knirlnnd the last of the descendants of
the man who assisted Charles II. to
escape after the battle of Worcester,
nil of whom had enioved substantial
pensions throughout their lives for the
service their ancestor had rendered nis
monarch. Admiral Rodney's heirs still
draw $10,000 a year, while the repre
sentative of Lord Nelson gets $25,000
a year because Nelson won the victory
of Trafalgar. New York Sun.

A TOUCH OF GOLD.
Its Magio Restored to Its Pedestal Hit
Tottering Dignity.
One day during bis prosperous
"Adunis" time In Loudon Henry B.
Dlxey was walking In the Strand when
he met , an American actor. He be
longed to the order of self satisfied per
sons who live to give out the impres
sion tlint the mnn they deign to speak
to is specially singled out by an indul
gent providence for high favor. This
particular haughty one had obviously
made acquaintance with misery. His
clothes were seedy, and there were
written all over him the Blgns of press
ing want
"Hello, old man, how are you getting
on?" was the Dlxey hail.
"Very well, I thank you, sir," replied
the unbending one.
"Doing anything Just now?" queried
Dlxey.
"Well, no, I may candidly say I'm
not. These plebeian hounds over here
do not estimate art at Us proper value,
and' I have refused, in deference to my
dignity, to accept anything less than I
consider my services worth. I may be
out of an engagement temporarily, but,
thank heaven, I have not degraded my
self by taking any paltry advances,
and I still consider myself a gentle
man." Then be added, in a lower and less
aggressive tone, "But I most candidly
own that the pangs of hunger may
soon make me forget my professional
dignity, as I have not had a mouthful
to eat in two days."
"For heaven's sake," exclaimed the
pitying Dijy, "take this and get some
thing to o'ltl" And he laid in the starv
ing man's band a sovereign.
With the touchof gold in his con
sciousness the recipient's face under
went a magical change. Halting a
passing cab, he turned to Dlxey and
said: "Thanks, old fellow. I'll -return
this in a couple of days. Cabby, drive
mo to the Cafe Royal."
And away he went to spend ..that
precious sovereign at a single throw.

IMPOLITE OFFICIALS.
They Sometimes Get a Jolt, as One of
Them Did In Paris.
It would appear that the public serv
ant, no matter how small his position
or humble his function, Is milch the
same person In France as in this coun
try, manifesting much the same lack
of courtesy as that which meets us so
often here.
Recently In one of the departments
of a Pnrlslon mayoralty, toward mid
day, a little old employee was about to
begin munching a bunch of carrots.
Some one rapped at the door. No re
sponse from the little employee.
The person who had rapped entered
"Monsieur," be began.
"Come back at 2 o'clock," growled
the little employee, as he continued to
gnaw away at the vegetables,
"But"
"No buts about It. Come back at 2
o'clock."
"I am the new chief of the bureau,1
said the visitor.
At once the little employee Jumped
up, trying to hide the bunch of carrots
behind his back, as he bowed deeply
to the visitor.
Go before me," said the chief, "and
show me, If you please, to my bu
reau."
The little employee was greatly em
barrassed by his carrots. He did not
know where to put them.
The chief took pity on him. "My
friend," he said, "put down your car
rots. There Is no shame in eating
vegetables. But" that respectable oc
cupalon should not prevent you from
giving a gracious welcome to the pub
lic. Let this serve as a lesson to you.

HE FOUND OUT
Man Wondered Why Eighth Stick of
Dynamite Didn't Go Off
The man Who looks for a leak in
the gas-pipe with a lighted match in
his hand is familiar to all newspaper
readers; but the man who looks into
a blast hole to see why a stick of dy
namite didn't go off is not so fa
miliar. However, he exists or rather
he did.
Tuesday Matt Livarich, an Aus
trian, was blasting stumps on the
ranch of Joseph Sollie, in the southern
part of the county. Matt put eight
sticks of dynamite in one stump, fix
ed the caps, and then withdrew to a
safe distance. Seven of the sticks
went off with regularity, but the
eighth stick failed to fire. Knowing
that dynamite is treacherous stuff,
Livarich waited some minutes, and
then he went to the stump to investi
gate.
Just about that time the eighth
stick of dynamite went off, and Cor
oner Hempstead was called. Upon
investigation he found that Livarich
was"26 years old when he died, that
he had been in Clackamas county but
five weeks, and that he had friends in
Portland, who were notified to take
charge of the body. No inquest was
held.

are repaired, service will be establish

and took him back to Portland to face
a charge of forgery. Brandt made
his "get-away" in a Ford automobile
and might have escaped notice among
the hundreds of Fords that daily pass
along the Pacific highway if he had
left the car -alone.
But he didn't leave it alone. He

went to Cathlamet to bring him back.

KNEW WHAT HE WANTED
Molalla Man Had Reasons for Dc-
manding White Flannel
A citizen of ' Molalla entered an
Oregon City department store this
week and asked for three yards of
white flannel. The store' had some
very nice flannel, mostly white, and
with cute little blue dots on it. The
sympathetic salelady said that it was
admirably suited for making sleeping
garments for a child. The Molallan
admitted that, but said he wanted
white flannel.
The clerk then showed him some
white flannel with a narrow pink
stripe in it, and started in on a cata
logue of its good points, but the Mo
lalla citizen shook his head and reit
erated that he wanted white flannel,
and only white flannel. At this the
proprietor of the store took a hand
in the game, and suggested tnat al
ter the flannel had been washed a few
times the colored dots or stripes
would fade out.
"What I want is white flannel,"
said the Molallan, "and I'll tell ypu
why. I live out in Molalla, and we
have fleas out there. Now you can
see a flea on white flannel, but if you
get flannel with colored spots in it
the pesky flea will get on the spots
and you can't see the pesky varmint
at all. That's why I want white flan
nel, and why nothing else will do.''
There was no further argument.
