PASSING OF ADMIRAL EVANS.
Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans,
"Fighting Bob," has marched on to
immortality with those other heroes
of the Spanish-American war, Samp
son, Schley, Clark, Coghlan, Philip,
Gridley all valiant and whose memor
ies and achievements are indelibly in
scribed on the glorious pages of our
national history.
"Fighting Bob" Evans wa3 not the
greatest of our Spanish-American war
heroes but he was probably the best
beloved. He was the popular con
ception of a great sailor. Brave, bluff,
"he was generous of heart and com
manded the affection and confidence
of his men and held the love of the
people.
Rear -Admiral Evans devoted hia
life to the service of the republic
He was baptised in fire and blood at
Fort Fisher and won signal honors
throughout the Civil War. In his lit
tle man-o'-war at Valparaiso he boldly
defied a hostile nation. His ship, the
Iowa opened fire on Cervera's fleet in
the battle of Santiago.
The fitting climax to his notable
naval career came when he made his
farewell speech at Hampton Roads to
the great fleet of battleships which he
had so skillfully guided on their record-breaking
voyage from San Fran
cisco. There have been greater naval
heroes than Rear Admiral Evans, but

St
By JAMES
SPEYER
HE college men and women
New York's east side have been instrumental in' suggesting
and framing laws for the benefit of that part of our popula
tion. I wonder whether some of those sociologists and those
who support them could not also do very good work by establishing a
settlement near Central'park and STUDY THE COISTDITIONS
AMONG THE WELL TO DO AND RICH. V
Perhaps they would find that while the east side families are too
large the uptown families are too small for real happiness and that
while the east side boy and girl get into trouble because they do not
have enough opportunity for play and amusement the rich boy and
girl get into trouble because they have TOO MUCH OF SUCH
OPPORTUNITY. , ,
RICH PEOPLE NEED THE SYMPATHY AND THE GOOD WILL
OF THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS JUST AS MUCH AS POOR PEOPLE,
AND SURELY SOME LAWS WHICH PARTICULARLY AFFECT THE
RICH AND BIG BUSINESS NEED'TO BE CHANGED OR SUPPLE
MENTED JUST AS MUCH AS THE LAWS WHICH AFFECT THE
LESS WELL TO DO AND THE PEDDLER AND WORKMAN.
A celebrated Scotch librarian 13 reported to have said, "It is a dis
grace to die rich." It is NO MORE OF A DISGRACE TO DIE
RICH THAN TO DIE POOR. That has nothing to' do with it.
But what we all regard as a disgrace nowadays is to die, whether you
are rich or whether you are poor, after having led a purely SELFISH

PROFESSOR HERSCHEL C. PARKER, the man who accused Dr. Cool
of falsely asserting that he had climbed the highest summit of Mount
McKinley, is himself making another attempt this winter to scale that
hitherto inaccessible peak. His wife, who is an expert mountain climb
er, wished to accompany him, but Professor Parker thought that his undertak
ing was too dangerous for a woman. His party consists of himself, Belmore
Brown, artist, writer and. explorer, who was with him on two earlier expedi
tions, and two young Alaskans. They will carry about 1,800 pounds of provl
sions and outfit on two dog sleds, starting from Stewart, Alaska. - The sled

DEARER SHOES.
This
The announcement comes from cen
ters of the shoe manufacturing busi
ness that there will he an advance
in the price of shoes a little later on.
The retailers state that there is to be
an increase in the wholesale price on
account of the leather trust's advance
in price which is to affect all grades
of sho&s. Manufacturers state that
the price of leather is being gradually
increased because the supply of the
raw material is diminishing.
It was only a short time ago when
the shoe manufacturers appealed - to
Washington for free leather on the
ground that it would obviate the
necessity of advancing prices to the
consumer. Well, leather went on the
free list of the new tariff law and now
the prices are to be advanced just the
same.
It looks as if it was about time for
the government to investigate the
leather trust. No wonder that .Sena
tor LaFollette very sensibly remark
ed that the testimony of manufao
turers is generally quite unreliable
This is a pretty serious charge against
manufacturers that they are given to
lying to protect their business; but
it would appear that the charge is
pretty well sustained.
It is just such conditions as that in
the shoe industry that is causing the
people to demand greater publicity
relative to the affairs of corporations.
We trust that the light will be turned
on the leather trust.

T
POULTRY SHOW
The office of the Publicity Bureau
is a busy place these days. Secretany
Lazelle is kept on the jump answering
calls either by 'phone or in person,
from persons anxious to know about
the Poultry Show, which is to be given
on February 2 and 3, in the Armory
building. The widespread interest in
the show has far exceeded the most
sanguine expectations of the promot
ers, so much so in fact that scores of
exhibitors are' being refused all the
space they would like in order to make
room for as many exhibits as the
premium list will permit.
Several owners of fine birds have
been disappointed at not finding their
particular class represented in the
premium li3t, but-Manager Lazelle ex
plains this by saying that he could
not get room big enough to accommo
date all the classes on the American
Poultry Association list, and accord
ingly selected the most popular type
of each class. For instance in the Or
pingtons, the White Orpington is the
one selected for judging. Notwith-
standing this, every inch of space
the Armory affords will be taken up
with pedigreed birds.
Manager Lazelle is himself some
what of an authority on poultry, and
is an enthusiastic believer in the
moneymaking ability of the Oregon
hen. . Under his experience manage
ment the show is destined to be a big
success. The Philharmonic Military
Band will play each evening.
Prevention and Cure of Typhoid Fever
Sometimes simple home remedies
save weeks of suffering and a big doc
tor's bill.
One cay a stranger saw the sage
growing In my garden. It reminded
him of the time there had been a ty
phoid epidemic in hia neighborhood.
Some one told him to have his family
use sage tea and they would not have
typhoid fever. . He tried it and not
only his own family but all who used
sage tea escaped the fever.
Not long ago an old gentleman, liv
ing near us told me how he had brok
en up typhoid fever with sage tea.
Said he: "Sage tea will break typhoid
fever In three or four days it will
break any fever," he added. - Last
Saturday an old lady chanced to hear
me telling the foregoing. "Speaking
of sage tea," said she, ''many a time
I've broken my children's fever with
it." She explained that she was where
she couldn't get a doctor when raising
her family. Why not give sage tea a
trial?

Princess Eulalia's Book
Offends King Alphonso.
"The Thread of Life." by the Count
ess of Avila such is the title page of
the most discussed book of the decade,
lor the Countess of Avila is none other
than the Infanta Eulalia of Spain, and
"The Thread of Life" is the little vol
nme of essays which has involved the
Infanta in so violent a discussion with
ber nephew. King Alfonso.
Report made it' quite probable that
the publication of the book would cost
Eulalia her allowance - and possibly
even her titles, although these can be
revoked only by a decree of the cortes.
On reading the essays one is indeed
moved to hope that the royal lady has
an Income that does not depend on the
approval of the Spanish court, for "The
Thread of Life" is as fiery a declara
tion of independence as ever woman
nailed to the wall.

brought up to respect, and she has a
whole hearted, unequivocal fashion of
speaking her mind. She believes in ed
ncatlon for everybody, in all sorts of
rights for the workingman. In the com'
pletest freedom for women in every
walk of life and In divorce for the ask
tag. Could a Spanish princess wave
the red flag of revolution more vigor
ously? It is the essay on divorce which has
called out the severest protests from
King Alf onso. It Is, however, reason
able to believe that in her remarks
about the family and women she has
also thrown a few bombs into the court
in which she was reared, for her book
is not a compilation of commonplaces.
On the subject of the indissolubility
of marriage there is no doubt that the
infanta feels strongly. Her own mar
riage was nnhappy. and she speaks
from the heart when she declares her
self In favor of. divorce. She argues
the matter at some length.
In her preface the infanta says that
she has been placed near enough to
the social questions she discusses to
know them and far enough from some
to view them without prejudice. She
believes that opinions as honest and
as carefully thought out as hers will
interest those who seek to glean from
all elements of society indications of
the tendency of the present And she
adds, with a decided pen, that she has
never been afraid of criticism.

The Widow That
WasCailecr j
, By M. QUAD
Copyright, 1911, by Associated Lit
erary Press.
When they had finished the Metho
dist meeting house in the village of
Hampshire there was nothing left to
buy paint It had been hard work to
get the last shingle on the roof. They
said they would leave things as they
were for a couple of years and then
finish up, but the two years ran on tc
ten, and not an improvement had been
made.' The church building had be
come weather beaten and dilapidated,
but Deacon Harner and Deacon Smith
ers said:
"The Lord ain't askin' us to put on
style. He will keep track of us in a
stable as well as in a palace."
The only, kicker was the Widow
Saunders.
There was talk at intervals of at
least painting the pews, but it never
amounted to anything more than talk.
There seemed to be a general feeling
that when the Lord got ready to have
the pews painted he would give a sign.
Meanwhile ministers came and went
It was a poor parish and poor pay, and
there was no religious fervor. In ad
dition to this, the Widow Saunders had
to be reckoned with. - She never kept
still for a month at a time. She was
full of sciemes to improve those pews,
and it was a cold week when she did
not call on the parson to say:
"I am trying to live so that I may
go to heaven when I die, but I dunno."
"Why, Sister Saunders, what is it?"
would be asked, although the good
man well knew what was coming.
'It's them pews. You may have no
ticed me there last Sunday. I went to
worship the Lord, but I had a crick in
the back, a twist in the shoulders and
a limp in the left leg, and I was think
ing of liniments instead of the golden
shore. - Parson, if I don't go to heaven
them pews will be to blame for it"
More than one parson tried to get
the congregation started on the delay
ed improvements. The men would
come together and talk over what
ought to be done, bnt at the same
time find an excuse for putting it off
a little longer. There is always a cli
max to everything, however, and one
came in this case. Of course It was
the widow who brought it about
though she didn't plan to. She went
over to Medina to visit her sister, and
there was a religious revival on. , Her
pulses were stirred. She made pro
fession anew. Evening after evening
she felt her soul throPbing. and she
finally called on the revivalist to ask:
. "Brother Bebee, do you believe that
individuals have a mission for good or
evil?"
"Certainly, sister certainly," was the
reply.
"Do you think a bumble widow wo
man like me has one?".
"I do, and it is for good. . There is no
telling what you may accomplish if
you set about it In the right spirit."
,"I have sometimes thought I had a
mission to paint the pews in my church
over honle, but I've worked for twelve
years without accomplishing anything.'
"But keep it up keep it up. All of
a sudden some day you may feel that
you have a call, and then you will be
shown the way."
As.tbe widow afterward explained to
her friends: ' C . '
"The very next night I was awoke
by a voice saying to me that I had a
call to paint them pews myself.
had waited and waited for others, but
they had fallen by the wayside. It
was now for me to do the work with
my own hands. 1 had never used a
paint brush, but the call would guide
my hand."
The widow's sister had a lot of left
over paint around the house. The col
ors were white, red and black. She
sympathized with the mission, and she
mixed them together and used kero
sene to thin the stuff down.
Not until next Sunday morning did
any one in the village even suspect
what had been going on. Some of the
congregation hardly suspected it until
they had taken their seats. The paint
hadn't dried. It wouldn't dry until the
last trumpet blew and perhaps not
then. It smelled and smirched and
smeared and stuck. Some got more
and some less, but each and every one
carried away a portion. Of course
there was no sermon. There couldn't
be. There was an Investigation in
stead, and something awful happened
at that investigation. . For the first
time since he Joined the church Dea
con Smithers swore. When the widow
explained that she bad had a "call" to
paint the pews he waved his arms in
the air and bellowed:
"A 'call be durned! . By the great
horn spoon, you orter be made, to lick
it all off!"
"Deacon Smithers," replied the wid
ow, "the revivalist over' at Medina
said that"
"Durn the revivalist P
For a week the affair threatened to
disrupt the , congregation. Then va
rious other people had "calls." : The
paint was scrubbed off as well as pos-
Bible, the pews torn out and rebuilt
and a painter hired to put on two
coats of white, and, once having tack
led the ' work, it was continued until;
the outside of the building was paint
ed and a spire pointed" to heaven.
And a little later the pews were
cushioned, and the Widow Saunders
could say to the minister:
"I can sit all through a sermon now
and not have a kink or twist, and I
am Just as sure of going to heaven
when I die as I am going to have Vnck
wheat cakes for breakfast."
The Intelligent Oyster.
- It was Mr. Justice Darling who once
defined a sheriff as something halfway
between an oyster and a lord mayor.
But Thackeray anticipated him in at
tributing human intelligence to oysters,
"I was walking with' him one evening
from the club,'" wrote Edmund Yates,
"and, passing a fish shop in-New street,
he noticed two different tubs of oys
ters, oue marked 1 shilling a dozen and
the other Is. Od. a doeen. 'How they
must hate each dther?' said Thackeray,
pointing them out." London Tele,

FORTUNE IN PRIZES
OFFERED; CHILDREN
CORVALLIS, Or., Jan. 17. Prizes
totaling thousands of dollars have al
ready been offered to the children of
Oregon for industrial exHibits at the
state and county fairs and-school fairs.
State Superintendent of Schools Al
derman, cooperating with the county
superintendents, the State Fair Asso
ciation, the Portland Commercial Club,
the Oregon Development League, the
State Bankers' Association, and the
extension division of the Oregon Ag
ricultural College, will organize and
conduct contests in corn growing, poul
try raising, manual training, domestic
science, potato growing, and other in
dustrial work, and every child in the
state will have opportunity to com
pete for the prizes.
The State Fair Association has
agreed to furnish $1,400 in cash prizes
for school exhibits, and promises of
other prizes amounting to $2,000 have
also been made, while other interests
which will doubtless contribute have
not yet been approached. The com
mercial clubs all over the state will
push the work, and a committee on
agricultural education from the State
Bankers' Association has agreed to
raise at least $1,800 to assist in the
work, for which plans are to be made
at a meeting here January 15.
- Some 30 different branches of in
dustry will be included in the con
tests, and those entering will be re
quired to keep for the college accurate
and complete records of their work
from the beginning. Thus a vast
amount of valuable data will be se
cured. One county superintendent
states that there will be at least 4,000
children exhibiting from his county
alone. -
