Heart to Heart
Talks.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
EVE.
A New York man of appreciation fa
vors the building of a monument to
Eve, the first woman.
Why not?
No woman was more deserving.
First of all, she was doomed for her
natural life to live with Adam, the
man who hid behind his wife's petti
coats, so to speak.
Also-
She was as progressive as any suf
fragist. Knowing that the penalty for
eating was wisdom, "she took of the
fruit thereof and did eat."
She was the beginning of wisdom. '
Before Adam, slow moving, even ven
tured to pluck the fruit she chose wis
dom. And in real wisdom have her
daughters outrun their brothers.
Also she was generous.
She divided the apple and the con
sequenceswith Adam. She might
have eaten and kept her secret, leading
her ignorant swain around by the nose.
"But she gave also to him, and he did
eat," which, my brothers, was
A narrow escape.
Above all else, Eve accepted the sit
uation as it was without whimpering
or excuse. And she patiently accepted
the place of scapegoat. Adam whined
to the Almighty, "The woman thou
gavest to be with me. she gave me of
the tree, and I did eat."
The woman!
It has been the way of all the sons
of Adam layiu the blame for the
family on the frail shoulders of Eve.
She did what she thought to be the
best thing for the family She was
tired of living in a fool's paradise,
where the family never would amount
to anything. And when she gave the
family a chance, to say the least, it
was ungrateful.
And she?
Witho-it whining about the lost Eden
she started a combined tailor shop and
dressmaking establishment and fixed
up the family wardrobe.
It was the way of a woman.
Before Adam knew where he "was
at" her quick wits noted the family
needs, and her quick fingers fashioned
the best garments she could provide on
short notice.
Let the monument rise.
I am but a mere man, but I am quite
willing to contribute my share, for I
confess to an ardent admiration for
my primitive mother.
The Line of Least Resistance.
"Hello! Is that the information ed
ltor?" asked a voice through the tele
phone. "Yes."
"Please tell me how many laches
there are In a meter."
"Haven't you a dictionary in your
house?"
"Yes, but it's less trouble to call you
ep and ask you."Chlcago Tribuue.
POTATO MARKET IS
. WEAKER IN SOUTH
There is a weaker tone in the pota
to market in the south and this has
been transmitted quickly to' this sec
tion. Buyers are not nearly so eager to
take hold of the extreme prices they
have been offering at Willamette val
ley points during the past ten days.
The best price available at San
Francisco is $2.15 for Oregon and on
ly a small percentage of the- stock
goes above $2.00 at $2.10 per cental.
It costs in round figures 50c to ship,
sell and weigh potatoes that are ship
ped from the Willamette valley to the
California city. This likewise in
cludes the shrinkage, which is quite
heavy at this time of the' year.
For the stock that has been selling
in San Francisco at $2.00 and $2.15,
buyers have been paying as high as
$1.65 per cental. This added to the
freight and other charges, before stock
is marketed in the south, would not
allow the local buyer a single cent
for his trouble and chances, even
though he secured the extreme top
there.
On this account the bullsh move
ment has temporarily subsided. Cal
ifornia continues to underbid local
shippers in the markets of Arizona
and Texas, notwithstanding the high
prices the trade at San Francisco al
leges it is getting.
The recent statement of San Joaq
uin river interests at Stockton that
the dealers were paying them $2.25
there "is therefore shown to be rather
misleading for the very same potatoes
are being sold in San Francisco, about
100 miles away, at a range of $1.45
to $1.75 and San Francisco buyers
are not taking any losses if they can
help it. It is generally belived that
someone might have purchased a car
load of stock at the figure quoted at
Stockton, the transaction being in the
nature of a blind so that growers there
as well as in Oregon, would hold while
speculators reaped their harvest from
the artificial - shortage of offerings.

WHAT promises to become a "celebrated case" is that of Folke E.
Brandt, a young Swede, who a few weeks ago had never been
beard of by the public outside of New York city and had for the
most part been forgotten there. He bad been a servant in the bouse
of Mortimer L. Schiff, a wealthy New York banker, and four years ago was
sentenced to thirty years hard labor for burglary in the first degree, to which
he pleaded guilty before Judge Rosalsky. The offence was committal in the
house of his former employer, whom he is also said to have assaulted.
Brandt, who was nnder age when he was arrested, alleges through bis attor
ney that he was allowed by the presiding judge to plead guilty to a crime
which, according to the evidence heard In the case, he did not commit Stren
uous efforts have recently been made to have his sentence commuted or to
have a new trial granted, and as a preliminary he was released from Danne
mora prison on a writ of habeas corpus and brought to New York to appear
In the court proceedings Instituted in his behalf. Judge Rosalsky has per
mitted him to withdraw his plea of "guilty" and to enter one of "not guilty."
Our Illustration shows Brandt (whose position is indicated by the arrow) on
his way from the prison to the train.
He Wished to
KnowToo Much
By DOROTHEA HALE
Henderson was always straining to
know something that there was no
need for him to know, if be had had
a wife he would have always been
wondering if she were really devoted
to him above all other men or if he
should die she would forget him and
love another equally well. Henderson
was not married, but he was engaged
to be married to a girl who gave every
evidence that she bad singled him out
above all other men to love.
Both lived on the Atlantic coast,
and shortly before the wedding Hen
derson announced to his fiancee, Mar
garet Stone, that his presence in San
Francisco was required in the matter
of certain interests he had there, for
be was well off and lived on his in
come. Miss Stone was poor. When
be left her be seemed uneasy about
something, and the lady begged him
not to go. averring that she bad a
foreboding that something would hap
pen to him. Henderson hesitated. He
thought be might settle the matter in
the west by correspondence.' But he
concluded to go. and the lovers parted
with mutual forebodings.
Two weeks Inter Margaret Stone re
ceived a telegram from her fiance that
be was very 111. but instructed her not
to come to him. The next day Rhee
celved a message from an Intimate
friend of bis who bad gone west with
him stating that Henderson was dead.
The friend would bring the body east.
In due time a letter came from the
friend, Ian Gregory, that Henderson
had requested before bis death that
bis body be interred without ceremony
and that she should not be present.
Margaret was much shocked, but
she bore up nobly under the misfor
tune. She carried out Henderson's In
structions to the letter, omitting to be
present during the interment. Greg
ory when he arrived called upon her.
and it was arranged that the two
should go together to Henderson's
grave. Margaret enrried plants with
her and put tbem in the gronnd so
that they would grow over the grave.
She found in Gregory a sympathetic
friend. He was extremely deferential,
always maintaining a delicacy dne to
one who has experienced a great grief.
She found it difficult to gel, blm to
talk of Henderson's last illness. When
ever she mentioned the subject he
turned the conversation In other chan
nels, intimating that it was a mourn
ful topic that they would both do well
to avoid. '
The two made several trips together
to the cemetery to note the growth of
the plants and put flowers on Hender
son's grave; but Gregory seemed to
shrink from going there, and the last
time they went together he acted so
strangely that Margaret did not sug
gest his going again. He grew moody
and discontented. At times be showed
signs of taking the place made vacant
by her fiance; at other times be acted
as if he would consider such an act a
betrayal of friendship. Margaret could

not understand him. Any mystery in
one with whom we are thrown inti
mately begets an interest, and since
that interest with Margaret was In
fluenced by demonstrations of a grow
ing love for her. she found herself
thinking a great deal of Gregory. One
who has lost a love naturally craves
to replace that love.
But the more closely they grew to
gether the more Gregory hung back,
and it became evident that something
was weighing on bis mind. Margaret
tried gently to induce him to confide
in her. but the bare mention of such a
thing seemed to wear upon him dread
fully. Believing that he was suffer
ing from qualms at taking his friend's
place in her heart, she exercised a
frankness which would otherwise have
been anmaidenly to convince him that
there was nq, reason to reproach him
self. Vine misunderstanding between tnem
bad reached a climax when one even
ing while they were together there
was a ring at the doorbell and who
should be ushered into the drawing
room but Henderson himself.
Now, it is not to be supposed that
any one of the three under the cir
cumstances maintained any steadiness
of demeanor. Henderson and Gregory
both looked as if they had been caught
stealing. Through Margaret there ran
a tumult of emotions. For awhile
there was an oppressive silence. Then
Margaret essayed to speak, but ber
voice failed ber. Heuderson spoke in
stead. "I owe you an explanation."
But Margaret recovering bcrself in
terrupted him.
"You owe me no explanation, for I
understand this mystery which has so
long been puzzling me. I bave long
been aware of your ruling passion that
the . love of the woman who loves
fou shall die with you. You have per
petrated this deception In- connection
with Mr. Gregory to learn whether I
wonld be true to your memory in the
way you would wish me to be true.
Mr. Gregory consented to lend him
self to your experiment In one sense
it has been successful, since it has
brought a definite result. Had I not
been deceived I would have married
him both for love and to supply the
void in my heart made Vacant by your
death. As it is. you have mined your
selves and have ruined me. I doubt
if the blessings of married life shall
ever be mine."
She left the room. The two men
stood for a moment with bowed bead?
then departed in different directions.
Caterpillars of Sikkim.
The sal-tree forest of Sikkim, in In
dia, in the tropical gorge of the Teesta,
is one of the breeding grounds of the
myriad butterflies that swarm over the
country. , A traveler says that in May
and until the middle of June the ten
der leaves of the numerous trees are
literally alive' with voracious caterpil
lars. The presence of these caterpil
lars In such overwhelming numbers is
explained by the fact that they are dis
tasteful to birds. .Fowls that were of
fered them rejected them after a trial
with disgust and went on wiping their
bills for some time afterward. There
are two species, one a bright coral and
the other green with stripes.

GOTGH'S TITLE IS
SAFE FOR AWHILE
World's Champion Wrestler Uses
Mahmout as Buffer. ;
liE STAVES OFF CHALLENGERS
Offers to Back Bulgarian Against Any
MaWArtist In World If Turk Is De
feated Gotch Will Give His Conqueror
Chance at the Title.
Almost every country In the world
where wrestling exists s a sport has a
representative in this country after the
world's title. When Frank Gotch
snatched the crown from Hacken
schmldt several years ago it shifted the
liat center of the world from Europe
(o America.
Now the ambitious Greco-Roman
and catcb-as-cateh-can titans are flock
ing to this country. England is about
the only nation of importance that has
not contributed to the colony here.
There are Samsons and Siegfrieds
from Germany, Pedersens from Scan
dinavia. Padoubnys from Russia, Zbys
cos from Galicla, Karlas from India,
Courderelles from Turkey, -Romanoffs
from the steppes and a veritable horde
of unspeakable and Balkan wonders.
But they are all here in vain. Cham
pion Gotch is intrenched with his title,
with a buffer between himself and any
ambitious aggressors.
Gotch has consummated one of the
cleverest coups ever, worked in the
history of the mat game. He has out
witted both promoters 3nd wrestlers
aspiring to a return match and the big
gate money that such a contest would
net them. Gotch has the Bulgarian
Yusuf Mahmout under contract, and
thus he is enabled to stave off all
challengers while touring the country.
He is in a position finally to baud over
the title to the great Turk grappler
when be chooses to make such a move.
"Mahmout can defeat any of these
wrestlers clamoring for a match with
me," said Gotch. "I have Mahmout
under contract and I am willing to
back him against ady wrestler.". "
Gotch tried to force Hackenschmidt
to meet Mahmout. The world's cham
pion insisted at that time that the Turk
:ould defeat the "Russian Lion" in a
finish niatcli. Matuuout at that time

Fused to have anything to do with "this ,
Turkish wrestler, asserting ' he bad
faked a match with Zbysco.
The wrestling fans know now that
Gotcb was speaking the truth when be
told them Mahmout could, beat Hack
enschmidt in a finish match. The
Goteh-HaekensctamiduBasco, in which
the so called "Russian Lion" proved a
failure as a worthy opponent of the
champion, was an eye opener to the
wrestling public. It showed the fans
that Gotch knows the relative ability
of the heavyweight grapplers and
knows who is worthy to meet him.
When all the wrestlers passed up
Mahmout. Gotch took the Turk with

been matched with Pedersen. the bout
to be held In Kansas City some time
next month. If the Scandinavian de
feats the Tnrk. Gotcb will take bim on.
