4 MORNING ENTERPRISE. SUNDAY, JANUARY 7, 1912. THE SCOTCH LASSIE By ELIZABETH CHARNLEY . Copyright by American Press Asso ciation. 1011. My brother is a youu;; widower with 'everal little children, and I. his sis'.'er Kin bis housekeeper. I advertised for a governess for the children and se cured the. services of a young girl who had recently arrived from Scot land. Sbe had lived in affluence in her native land, but shortly before her coming to America a large bank failed, of which her father was a director. The law in Scotland is very hard on men who directly or indirectly lose money for others, and in this case all the directors of the bank, though they were entirely innocent, having left ev erything pertaining to the bank to the president, were all convicted of fraud and sent to prison. Our governess' fa ther was among the number. She beg-, ged to be allowed to go to prison in bis place, but of course was not permit ted. He died long before the end of his term, and his daughter was left an orphan. In time my brother began to ap pear conscious of Grace MacAlister's presence in the household. If he came home and found that she had gone out on any errand for herself or the chil dren I could easily detect a look of dis appointment in his face. But after his wife's death be was very dependent in finding every one of us at home when he returned -from business, and it was impossible for us to get away for any length of time. Then, too, in the even ing he would rely on us to play cards with him, usually calling in a neighbor to make a fourth hand. And so a year went by and all was going well when something happened. A young man about Grace's age, with a trifle of the Scotch dialect about him. came to the house and called for her. That evening - Ed gar was in a very bad humor. He was obliged to give up his game of cards. Grace remained in the draw ing room with the stranger till late, while 1 was trying to amuse Edgar in the library. At 10 Edgar went out to his club something he had not done before since Miss MacAlister had become one of us and at 11 returned In, if possible, a worse humor than when he departed. I supposed Grace would say some thing about the visitor the only caller she had had since she came to us but she did not, and it would have been impertinent for me to question her about him! Edgar fenced a good deal with me to find out who the man was without appearing anxious to know, and when I told him that Miss Mac Alister had not said anything about him to me my brother seemed to be very 111 at ease. For a few weeks the stranger called to see Grace frequently. When with him she usually closed the door of the room they were in, and, in any event, when conversing with him it was In such low tones that not a word they said was even overheard. Dur ing this period Edgar was positively unbearable. He fretted because he must forego his cards and at one time went so far as to ask me to sug gest to the governess that the stran ger's absorption of her time and at tention was interfering with her care of the children. I knew that he was suffering from jealousy and that if I did what he proposed he would never forgive me. One evening when the young Scotch man did not call Miss MacAlister came to me and said: "The gentleman who has been to see me frequently of late is a suitor of mine from the time I was a wee thing. When my- father was in trouble my lover kept away from us. Now he comes courting me, but I dinna love him, and. if I did, that he once blamed my father would .be a barrier between us. I sent him hame yesterday, and he's now on the ocean on his way to bonny Scotland. I've known that his presence here might excite curiosity, but I didna like to tell ye who he was and what was his errand till he had gone." I lost no time in imparting the confi dence to Edgar, telling him for the first time who was Miss MacAlister's visitor and the reason of his presence in Amer ica. I shall never forget the sigh of relief he drew or the expression on his face while 1 gave the girl's history. "You see, my dear," I ac'-'ed. "Miss MacAlister is sensitive on the point of her father's misfortune or failure to watch those interests he was expected to watch." I said this because I had feared, as I have already mentioned, that Edgar's feelings or treatment of the girl would change if he knew the facts or that his sturdy honesty and discrimination be tween right aud wrong might lead him to say something that would turn Grace against him. He made no com ment whatever on what I had told him, but the next day informed me that he had proposed to Miss Mac Alister and been accepted. And then I learned for the first time that an affair had been In progress be tween them ever since Grace had been a member of our family, though only In feeling, for not a word of love had been spoken between them. Her mis fortune, which he got for the first time from me. only served to draw him the nearer to her. Though Edgar's sister, I am not one to believe in brotherly and sisterly housekeeping arrangements, and 1 was much pleased at the affair on Edgar's, the children's and Miss MacAlister's account. The children loved her dsar ly, and sbe makes them a devoted mother. Never a Let Up. "Poor pa's Just working himself to ijeath." " "Why. I thought he had a political Job." "He has, but it seems as if he no sooner gets reappointed than it is neces sary for him to get out and work again so that somebody else won't get it next time." Chicago Record-nerald. Oak Tree Bark.

MISS FRANCES CUMMINGS, MANAGER OF BUREAU For a good many years past the col lege girl who has completed her course and faced about to make her own way in life has. been confronted with the fact that practically no field was open to her except that of teaching1. Of late, however, the college grad uate has begun to reach out toward a different state of things. in New York city, where the number of college women seeking vocations other than teaching Is very large, this need Is being met by the newly or ganized intercollegiate bureau of oc cupations. The bureau, which is in reality a superior sort of employment agency, dealing only with the higher grades of specialized service, has been inaugurated and is at present support ed by the New York alumnae associa tions of eight leading women's col leges. It alms not only to secure con genial occupations for exceptionally equipped women, hut to supply em ployers with a more intelligent and re sponsible class of workers. In this way creating a demand for the specialized service which can be secured only from women who have been well educated and mentally trained. The work of this new bureau is the outgrowth of an effort made by the members of the New York alumnae or ganization of Smith college to help solve this problem for Smith graduates who wished to do other things besides teaching. After some months of in vestigation and consultation the Smith college alumnae in New York city of fered to contribute $1,000 toward the establishment of such a bureau, pro vided the New York alumnae of some other women's college would donate a like sum. The alumnae of Vassar promptly responded to this proposition, for there was the same desire among Vassar students to enter upon voca tions other than teaching. These two organizations then took the matter up with other college alumnae clubs in New York city, and the result was that the bureau was launched under the management of the New York alumnae organization of Barnard. Bryn Mawr, Cornell. Mount Holyoke. Radcliffe. -Smith. Vassar and Welles ley colleges. Throughout the entire venture Miss Mary Van Kleeck. herself a Smith college graduate, has been the moving spirit. She is the president of the bu reau: Mrs. Charlotte J. Farns worth of Wellesley, an authority on vocational and social training for women, is vice president: Miss Ethel Stebbins of Cor nell is secretary, and Miss Antoinette Putman-Cramer of Smith is treasurer. There is an advisory board composed of the presidents of the eight colleges in the bureau, as well as a local board of directors composed of twenty two members of the New York alum nae organizations. These local direc tors are in close touch with the officers or committees having charge of recom mendations in each of the women's colleges concerned, so that the needs of girls still in college can be made known to the bureau and new voca tions for women may be communicated to students who are planning their fu ture work. The bureau aiao co-operates with the appointment bureau of the Women's Educational and Industrial union in Boston, wbicn is doing a similar work, and there is a kindred movement on foot In Philadelphia. Miss Frances Cummings. the execu tive manager of the bureau., is an in teresting example of its effectiveness in getting the right person Into the right place. Miss Cummings. also a Smith graduate who did not want to teach, spent the first four years after leaving college in secretarial work, which gave her a wide experience in clerical, filing and executive methods She then entered the tenement bouse department of New York city, where seven years of promotion brought her to a responsible executive position as a reviewer of inspectors' reports. This thorough groundwork of executive ex perience, coupled with the cultural training of her college course, fitted her admirably for the broad demands of her present position. Miss , Cum mings' sympathy with the college girl's ambitions and her complete under standing of the technical requirements of the average employer enable her to mediate very wisely between the two. While the bureau is intended princi pally for college women, well educated women with culture and experience or with some special training fitting them for the work they wish to do are also eligible.

The reason why opals are so often lost from their settings is that they ex pand with heat more than other, pre cious stones and consequently force open the gold which holds them in place. MISTAKES.

HUGE SALARIES ARE BUNK. Few Diamond Stars Receive Over $5,000 For Their Work Demand of Vean Gregg For Big Increase Brings Out Interesting Fact. The season for holdouts has started. The athletes who make a living by playing baseball are asking for addi tions in their pay envelopes next year, the owners of the clubs are refusing them, and the usual "I'm through with the game" statements are issued, north, east, west and south, wherever the disappointed athlete may reside. The larger number of disputes over salary matters in baseball never be comes public. Those that are published Photo by American Press Association. FBAKK SCHULTE, CUBS' OUTFIEI.DKK. come from the players; the owners do not care to tell it'uiut them. Every club in the country litis its arguments over the salary question, just .as every business house" has, and they are al ways settled,- Vean (ii-egg, the phenomenal left handed pitcher from the coast: Grover Cleveland Alexander, whom the Phila delphia Nationals secured for $500 and who proved one of the biggest pitch ing sensations of the year; big Ed Sweeney, the tail and muscular back stop of the New York .Highlanders they are among the holdouts already announced. There will be others, for the season is just starting. ' National league moguls look -upon Gregg's demands as a joke. This is not his first dispute With the Clover land club over salary. He had a few before this. What he wants for pitch ing for Cleveland in 1912 is $5.0(10. In the National league there are but five players, outside the managers, who are getting $5,000 or more a sea son. They are: Christy Mathewson of-the New York Giants, whose salary is said to be $8. 000 a year and who gets the top figure paid a National league player, will get the same amount next season. Hans Wagner of the Pittsburgh Pi rates gets probably $1,000 less than Mathewson. He ag?.in led the Nation al league in hitting this year and will probably sign for the same figure next season. Mordecai Brown, the veteran mem ber of the Cubs' pitching staff, is paid about $6,000 a year. His work last season will allow him to demand an equal salary figure in 1912". Sherwood Magee of the Phillies, one of the best hitters in the game, pulls down $5,000 a season. He will demand and undoubtedly receive the same sal ary next year. - Tommy Leach of the Pirates got $5, 000 last year, but all he hit in 102 games was .238, and his salary will be cut by Barney Drey fuss. Frank Schulte, the Chicago Cubs' star right fielder, is paid about $3,500 for his season's work. Only four clubs in the National league are paying as much as $5,000 to any one ball player. Take the Cincin nati Reds, for instance. The highest salaried man In the team is Larry Mc Lean, the giant backstop. Besides be ing one of the best catchers in that league, McLean is a great slugger. But all he gets is $4,500. In the American leagueTy Cobb of Detroit is the highest salaried ball tosser. Ty receives around $9,000 and fs worth every penny of it. Walter John son, the Washington's star twirler. last season attached his signature to a three year contract calling for $21,000. Larry Lajoie of Cleveland is paid about $6,000. Joe Jackson, his teammate, will get about $3,500 next year. Eddie Collins of the Philadelphia Americans receives around $4,500 for a season, while Tris Speaker of the Bostons gets 9 bout the same.

Formed as they are on the general plan of a hexagon, no one ever saw two snow crystals precisely alike. Nature sends out billions aud billions of ber inow handiwork, but every copy is an individual and peculiar one. She de lights in variety, and truly the snow flakes are not the least of her wonders. Even iu a cake of solid ice one may see the delicate, beautiful snow flowers packed closely together, for the ice is simply one mass of these marveious products of nature's art gallery. Floating lazily in the clear blue reaches of the sky are other exam ples of the wonders of water dust. The glorious clouds, like fabled castles filled with, dream folk, are either tiny drops of water or minute crystals ot ice soaring far above the busy world below. Sometimes these ice crystals cover trees, window sills and grass with their beautiful spicules of hoar frost, and every one knows what a fa mous artist Jack Frost is in the matter of window ornamentation.-Popular Mechanics. ' Whits Horse of Berkshire. Between Abingdon and Uppington in England there is a famous valley known as the "Vale of the White Horse." It is so called because of a huge figure of a horse at full gallop which is crudely fashioned on the side of a precipitous hill of chalk by re moving the surrounding turf. The figure is almost 374 feet In length, and when the sun is shining upon it it can le seeu plainly for al most twelve miles. By whom or how long ago it was cut Is not known, dif ferent persons ascribing it various!;: to the Saxons, Danes and Druids. , Many attribute it to King Alfred at'd say that it is a symbol of victory erect ed by him after the battle of Ashdown, at which he defeated the Danes. In course of time the trench which outlines the figure of the horse fills naturally and grows over. When this happens -the people of the neighbor hood have a custom of meeting for the purpose of cleaning it out, and this they make the occasion for a great festival, at which the men compete in manly sports for prizes. Fisherman A Game. If there is a large table at hand all sit around it to play'the' game of fish erman. One of the players Is armed with a short stick, to which a piece of twine is attached, the twine being tied in a loop at one end. The fisherman drops his line iu such a way that the loop lies on the table about the center. When he says "Whose fish?" all the players place the tip of one finger (fore finger of the right hanBi on the table inside the circle formed by the twine. When "My fish!" is called all must withdraw their fingers before the fish erman pulls in his line. This must be done quickly or fingers will be caught. Each fish caught counts one for game. Each player should have his turn as fisherman. Pull the Square. A jolly romping game for younger boys and girls is played in this way: Roll back the rug from the center of. the floor and on the boards make a small square outlined with chalk. All then join hands in a circle around it. The music starts up. and the children begin to dance around the square. As they dance they try to draw some mem ber of the circle into the square. Any one stepping Inside the chalk bound aries is out of the game, which con tinues until but one player is left. " Conundrums. Which is the largest bug in the world? . The humbug. Why is the oyster the wisest animal? He keeps his mouth shut. Wtiat class of persons have the most bones in their bodies? Those that feed on fish. The Scissors Grinder. - TIng-a-llng, ting-a-llng! The scissors grinder coes along With chiming bells that seem to ring Always the same dear little song. Be is a quaint old m&n and kind With merry eyes which seem to smile, And as the shining scissors grind He bums a little tune meanwhile. His whirring wheels go round and round. The chiming bells Just now are still. But yet his lips keep up the sound Of song that seems our hearts to thrill. We children follow, one and all. So much we love this little tune. We answer gayly to his call And think our friend is gone too soon. Ting-a-ling, ting-a-llng! This is the burden ot his song. It seems of Fairy Land to sing. This magical and chimin; gong.

L (Continued from page 1) with Dimick's assistance as Mayor, by which the Mayor attempted to give to the S. P. Ry. Company a franchise which was worth , about 30,000 for practically nothing. ' Worse than that, Mayor Dimick's franchise would have materially - injured the value of every foot of property on the hill. "Mr. William Sheahan, who was then a member of the City Council, vigorously protested a'gainst the granting of the Dimick franchise and suggested to some of the citizens that a public meeting be called to protect against the granting of this franchise. The public meeting was called and a resolution unanimously adopted against granting Mayor Dimick's franchise. At this meeting, to pro tect himself, in his effort to grant the franchise, the Honorable Mayor Dim ick misquoted a Supreme Court de cision that had just been handed down in regard to the rights of the city in connection with the property in ques tion. Notwithstanding the unanimous protest of the business men and tax payers at that meeting the Mayor insisted on granting the franchise be fore the expiration of hi3 term. Then the citizens of Oregon City were compelled to sue out an injunc tion against the Mayor and his mem bers of the Council to prevent them from granting the franchise and re ducing the residence value of the Lproperty on the hill. The residents of Oregon City who live on the hill today have the privilege of using an overhead crossing that is clean and safe. In addition to this, the S. P. R'y Company expended a large sum of money on the South End Road, as the result of this injunction, which the citizens were compelled to get from the courts to protect the city from Mayor Dimick and his five members of the City Council. "The Mayor has also attacked the financial standing of Oregon City by saying to the public that the city war rants, cannot be sold. This comes with poor grace from a man who is at the head of the city government. I am informed by the Treasurer of Oregon City that the city warrants have been called in for payment up NOT EXPENSIVE Treatment at Hot Lake, including medical attention, board and . hsths, costs no more than you would pay to live at any first class hotel.

FECIAL BARGAIN For the Readers of the NING ENTERPRISE to within about ten and one-half months. At the expiration of Mayor Dimick's four years of administration the city warrants were three and a half years behind. Mayor Dimick knows that there has been a large amount of improvement warrants is sued which the banks have taken care of to protect the contractors. As soon as the bonds for these improvement warrants are floated which will be shortly, all of the city warrants will again be taken by the banks as they formerly were. Mayor Dimick knows all the facts, and yet slanders the credit of his city. "I believe every man who has the best interest of the city at heart should stand by the City ouncil in re taining them to make room for other men who certainly did not enforce the laws when they held office under Mayor Dimick's former administra tions and to which he points with pride. The offices of Oregon City should not be used in payment of political debts. Mayor Dimick was shown the letter of Mr. Schuebel and made the fol lowing reply: "Mr. Schuebel is again felling his duty as a citizen and taxpayer to warn the citizens of Oregon City against that vicious- policy that the present Mayor is liable to pursue. H goes into past history and devotes a good deal of his time to excusing his own delinquencies for not enforcing the law when he was Deputy District Attorney for Clackamas county during the time that I was Mayor of this city, and this is the first time that the sin gle tax advocate has thought that my policy as Mayor ot Oregon City was going to be vicious or detrimental to the taxpayers. "I presume that if I had notsaid anything against the single tax in my fromer letters his feathers would "not be ruffled and he would not now be accusing me of not enforcing the law during my former administration and offering exsuses why he did not en force it himself when he was Dis trict Attorney and had all of the pow er of the state behind him and by one word from him, without a crim inal action being filed he could have put every slot machine out of busi ness and closed every saloon on Sun day. "I consider Mr. Schuebel's state ment as thin as his statements usu ally are when he attempts to spit his venom on someone whom he dislikes. He speaks of the Southern Pacific and mud given under scien tific direction have cured thousands. Write for illus trated booklet descriptive of Hot Lake Sanatorium and the methods employed.

Ask agents. franchise and knows that he tells an untruth about me urging the passage of the franchise before my term of office expired, as Mr. Sheahan, Mr. Koerner, and Mx. George Story acted on a committee that examined the franchise presented by the company and afterward the council went into the committee of the whole and agreed upon a franchise that was suit able to them and which was passed after, my term of office expired. I wonder if Schuebel thinks for one mo ment that the Mayor of Oregon City can pass ordinances or does it re quire the votes of the majority of the City Council. . Now I wish to say that Rudolph Koerner was . the chairman of the franchise committee and he recom mended the passage of the franchise and I would, like to ask if anyone in Oregon "City would dafe say that Mr. Koerner would violate his oath of office as a councilman. "Mr. Schuebel's criticism with men who know him would not need an swer but on account of new citizens here who did not live in Oregon City at that time I feel that the same should be replied to. Mr. Schuebel is always like a soapbubble. He loves to spread an alarm in order to see his name in print, but he is not particular whether his assertions are based on facts. He is anygry on account 01 something that dos3n't just suit his fancy and he gets relief when he hears from Joe Fels. "Mr. Schuebel writes 'a pathtic story of a husband who lost money through a slot machine and loves to tell what a great philanthropist he was in recovering the money but fails to state why he did not stop the op eration of the slot machine, although he was duty District Attorney and had all the powers of the state behind him. "In order to put Mr. Schuebel right before the world I would like to ask why he did not write his letter prior to election. The people knew me and knew the record of my past adminis trations and re-elected last Decem ber without any effort upon my part, and I wish to inform him that during the year 1912 I will with the aid of the council give the people a clean, honest business administration" so they will be perfectly satisfied at the close of the year. "In a few days I will give a full history through the columns of this paper of the financial condition of Ore gon City and Clackamas county from the beginning to the end of each administration.
