DR. MOUNT DENIES
There has been a report in circula
tion that there is an epidemic of ty
phoid fever in Oregon City, caused by
the water of the Willamette River,
but such is not the case, say some
of the leading physicians of this city.
Among them are Dr. H. S. Mount,
who has typhoid patients in the coun
try as well a3 in this city, all of whom
are improving. Dr. Mount states'
that there are no more cases in Ore
gon City at the present time than
there is usually this time of
year. He had two patients suffer
ing from typhoid fever caused by
drinking of water from a well. The
father and son were taken down with
the disease, and the daughter was in-
occulated with the typhoid serum, and
escaped the disease. Dr. Mount has
used the typhoid serum with excel
lent results for almost two years, and
in many of the serious cases the
serum is used. The water from the
filtering plant of Oregon City has heen
tested and so far has been found free
from typhoid germs.
Fish That Eat Oysters.
As a result of recent investigations
the fishes most destructive to pearl
oysters are those commonly known as
the globe fish. Another fish belonging
to the group, known as pagrina. is sel
dom or never found without oysters in
its stomach. The larger species of
rays are suspected of committing great
ravages in the oyster beds.
A Way the Camel Has.
When a camel is pressed beyond its

nothing in the world will make it

TRIUMPH
GENERAL
FEBRUARY
And What He Brought About
By HARRIET C THOMPSON
The czars of Russia say that they
have two generals on whom they can
rely to drive out an enemy, these war
riors being. General January and Gen
eral February.
Among those flying before the re
doubtable General February was Peter
Apherson, a middle aged bachelor, who
took a train for Hampton Roads. Mr.
Apherson, sitting one evening, when
the first faint balm of spring was
coming up from the south, on a bench
facing the water, saw a lady pass
him whose face seemed vaguely asso
ciated with some previous existence.
She was walking with an elderly wo
man, who appeared from a likeness be
tween the two to be her mother. The
ladies walked on for some distance,
returned, and the elder, seeing the op
posite end of the bench from the one
on which Apherson sat unoccupied, in
sisted on resting there.
Ten minutes later the ladies arose
and went on. Apherson followed them
with his eyes till they were lost in the
throng of promenaders and still long
er with his thoughts. Presently rising,
he was about to leave the spot when
he saw a purse where they bad been
sitting. He took it in charge.
Expecting he might find something
to give him a clew to the owner, he
opened it; .but, seeing nothing except
money, he closed it again. He had
little doubt of finding the lady who
had dropped it, for there were not
many people at the place and they in
a narrow compass. Indeed, the very
next morning In a sun parlor of his
hotel facing the "roads" he saw the
younger of the two ladies sitting
alone. Approaching her. he handed
her the purse. She thanked him, it
seemed to him mechanically, or, rather,
without surprise.
Place in company a man and a wo
man, both unmarried, not too old, and
ten to one they will sooner or later
get on the subject nearest to their
hearts. The subject nearest to the
hearts of both men and women of
middle age is finding some one of
the opposite sex with whom to make
a home. But they discuss the matter
in general terms, carefully steering in
the broad current, though sometimes
they get to particularizing before they
know it.
"Are you married?" asked the lady.
"No, I am not, but I confess I would
like to be. I have grown to an age
wherein single life has lost its zest.
I live at a club and am bored there.
But what can I do? Marriage mar
riage with mating is not a matter
that can be arranged as one would
rent a house or buy an automobile.
In my case there is a special obstruc
tion. When I was twenty I was en
gaged to a young girl, whom I lost. I
was then impecunious, and her family
would not hear of a match between
us. My fiancee relied upon me as to
what was best to be done, and I felt
it my duty to tell her that we should
part. My heart remains with her.
Should I marry today honesty would
compel me to confess that I could
only give a wife a companionable af
fection. "I am in very much the same situa
tion," replied the lady. "At nineteen
I married a man selected for me by
my mother. He was much older than
I and wealthy. I could not give him
my heart, but at that time I did ao
consider it obligatory to tell him so.
I loved another during my married
life of ten years and love that other
today. Should I marry I should now
feel it incumbent on me to tell the
man I married that he must be con
tent with companionship."
In this vein they chatted till noon,
when the lady withdrew. They met
often after that in the sun parlor.
Apherson gave the widow opportunity
to tell him more about herself, but ei
ther she did not take his hints or she
was not inclined to give the desired
information. One day Apherson said
to her:
"As I told you when we first met, I
am very tired of single life. I wish a
companion with whom to make a
home. I would be pleased to exchange
information concerning ourselves with
a view to marriage. You understand
that my heart was long ago given to
another and remains with that other
today. I understand the same with re
gard to you."
"I appreciate the compliment you
pay me; but, now that I am free to
marry toe man of my choice. I will
marry no one else."
"Pardon me. I supposed that affair
had ended jls mine has ended."
"The m;. who loved, me has 'never
married."
"Indeed!"
"No, and I have lately met him."
"Not hero?"
"Yes. nere. Not long ago while
walking with my mother I passed him.
He did not recognize me. but I recog
nized him. Returning we sat down on
the same seat with him. In order to
bring about a meeting 1 left my purse
on the"
"Marion ?'
"Yes. I am Marion."
There are certain things about wom
en that puzzle me. Why did Marion
recognize me. I not recognizing her?
Then why did she resort to a ridicu
lous subterfuge to draw me to her in
stead of coming out in a frank, manly
I mean a frank way and making her
self known' I don't know. I've been
married to her ten years, and every
month of this time I have discovered
some new feature to puzzle me.

MAHM0UT WORSE THAN G0TCH
Turk's Scissors More Crushing Than
Toe Hold, Says Demetral.
William Demetral. the Greek wres
tler, coincides in Gotch's view that
Yusuf Mahmout. the Turk, is the
logical successor to the championship
when the Humboldt farmer lays down
the title. But Demetral goes the
champion one further, declaring that
he believes the Turk is even superior
toXJotch.
"You hear a lot about Gotch's ter
rible toe bold. The hold is an awful
one," said the Greek recently, "but I
have met both men, Gotch on several
occasions, and I tell you the Turk's
body scissors Is infinitely more ter
rible. Mahmout has abnormally strong
legs, and when he gets them around
the body of his victim he can squeeze
the life out of him.
"Gotch defeated Mahmout on April
14, 1909, in Dexter park, Chicago, in
straight falls, both, in a few minutes,"
added Demetral. "Zbyseo has also
won from him, .but the Turk is a dif
ferent man now. He is as strong as
Gotch, quick as a panther and weighs
Just about the same, 210 pounds."
Mahmout pinned Demetral to the
mat in thirty-seven minutes at Kansas
City when the two met last in 1909.
Sprinter Walker Still Swift.
Reginald E. Walker, the English
Olympic games sprint champion, ran
110 yards in 10 2-5 seconds recently in
a race in South Africa. Walker is now
a professional, and an effort is being
made to arrange a series of races be
tween him and Nat Cartmell, the for

to be run in South Africa.
