LOVE'S COUNTERFEITS.
Another harebrained youth, smitten
by a girl who rejects him. follows the
girl, nags her, makes her life a tor
ment, then kills her.
It is called a "love tragedy."
A weak souled woman whose vanity
is played upon or whose trivial griev
ance is fostered by an affinity" is per
suaded to leave her husband and chil
dren and run away.
It is called a "love story."
Or a man of family deserts a good
wife and children, leaving a heritage
of shame, and goes philandering with
some foolish miss who has Infatuated
him.
He is "blinded by love."
To paraphrase the utterance of Mme.
Roland. "O love, what crimes are com
mitted in thy name!" Many so called
lore affairs are libels on love.
Love is more than infatuation. Love
is more thun passion or desire. - Love
Is. first of all. clean. And love will pro
tect its own and not kill it Love will
die to save the loved one. Love puts
above all else the happiness of the lov
ed at the sacrifice of self. It is the di
vines t thing known to humans.
Love seeks not its own.
It filches nothing from honor.
It rejoices in purity.
It endures forever.
Love is more than sentimentality.
Its language is not the speech of the
silly, so called "love letters" read for
the delectation of the multitude In the
.divorce courts.
The speech of genuine affection may
sometimes be betrayed into the word
of extravagance or impulsive expres
sion, but it is never the language of in
sincerity. The stuff of which mauy
love speeches are made is the veriest
frolh ou the cup of affection.
Being divine, love abides.
Love must keep its own forever and
a day. it is stronger and sweeter when
the wrinkles mar the face of the loved
one, when the hair is silvered and the
frame is bent, than in the younger
days of the cheeks' rounded contour
and the body's stately carriage.
Love seeketb not its owu. Unselfish
ness is its essence. Love sacrifices,
denies itself. It is long suffering and
kind.
Call you that love which deceives,
which lures for its own desire, which
brings dishonor, which turns its back
upon those who should be dear, which
brings humiliation and shame and re
morse? Tbiit sort comes up from the depths.
. True love comes down from above.
An Obstructed Order.

a new suit today?

Old Time Versatility.
Henry Watteisou, in an interview
in Washington on one occasion, prais
ed the American journalist of the old
school.
"The journalist of the old school,11
said Mr. Watterson, with his hearty
laugh, "was remarkable , above all
things for versatility. He, unlike youi
college bred journalist of today, nevet
knew when he turned up at the office
whether he'd be handed a mop, an
opera ticket or a pair of shears, and
he was equally at home with all three."
The Father of Terror.
"The father of terror" is the name
the Arabs have given to the sphinx. It
stands today even as it has done foi
thousands of years, though the exact
date or century of its construction non
can say. It is not only the oldest mon
ument in the world, but the largest as
well. It is carved wholly fro'm a mass
of solid natural rock; with the excep
tion of the forepaws,' which are buili
up with blocks of stone. It measures
more than a hundred feet in length and
is impressive and awe inspiring be
cause of its stupendous size.

T HOP HARJ
It
The situation in the hop trade is
much better both for spot goods and
for contracts. The first crop damage
news of the season has been received
and strange to say it comes from Eur
ope, where the first news of trouble
appeared from last year.
A special mail advice says that in
Styria (Steyermark), which is in the
southern part of Austria, sever dam
age has been done the vines by cold
weather. The district is a very early
one, and as heretofore the damage can
be more safely estimated than in most
other sections.
From Germany comes word that the
frosts there have put the crop back
ward, with some signs of damage.
A London advice says that the hop
yards of the lowlands have been dam
aged by the flooding of the ground,
which for weeks at a time was under
water, and sour roots are feared. The
advice says that whenever this condi
tion has appeared there the crop has
never been heavy.
Thirty-nine cents is freely offered
for hops, but growers are not offering
below 40c, and it is doubted if even
that figure will secure a supply.
With the approach of warmer weather
in the east brewers of that section
are becoming interested in hops. The
small holdings in Oregon leaves but
little chance to buy. It is estimated
that 1800 bales are held by growers
of this state, while dealers hold not
more than 500 hales. This would
make the total supply in this state
available for market 2300 bales. Hold
ings in California are light.

A Case of
Identity
An Officer of the Cuban
War Who Died Comes
to Life
By EUGENE WHITING
The Spanisn-Aniericun war was end
ed, and the troops had been removed
from Santiago on transports. A few
invalids remained who were, too ill to
travel, under the care of Surgeon Ed
ward Fergeson, who stayed behind for
the purpose of caring for them and
settling up the affairs of the medical
department of the army. A gunboat
under command of Ensign White of
the nav had been ordered to remain
for the purpose of bringing away those
who needed transportation when every
thing bad been cleaned up, when those
who were to die had died and those
who were to get well were able to be
carried aboard ship.
Now, the Santiago campaign was
something to be heartily sick of. and
after it was over to be left In the curs
ed place to clean up was worse yet.
. Ensign White was a bad selection for
the purpose, for his fiancee was waiting

for him to come home to marry her,
and he was in a terrible hurry to ac
commodate her. He had taken care
of everything there was to do, and
nothing remained except to bring
home those left in hospital. Calling on
Surgeon Fergeson. he asked him the
condition of things in his department
"There are two men who can't live
twenty-four hours. ' As soon as they
are dead We can get out of this beast
ly country and go" home."
"Are you sure they're both going to
die?" asked White.
"They've .Imth jrot the fever, and I

the th New Jersey as goodasdead.
The other one is Sergeant Moore of
the th Massachusetts. He's not quite
so bad as Berkeley, but there's no show
for him."
"I say, old man," said White thought
fully, "we're both anxious to go home.
Now, you wouldn't mind having things
ready to bury these fellows, would
you, just as soon as they are dead?"
Fergeson shrugged his shoulders and
made no reply, but silence gives con
sent,, and White knew that when the
Invalids' . souls had left their bodies
there would be no necessity for wast
ing time as to the interment
The gunboat had steam up, ready for
departure, and Surgeon Fergeson was
busy over some papers, while his strik
er was packing his belongings. A hos
pital steward came Into nis tent and
said:
"Doctor, one of those cases Is dead,
and the other has disappeared."
The surgeon uttered an exclamation
of Impatience. He had expected to get
off within an hour, and here was a com
plication that might cause no end of
delay. '
"How the dickens can a man at the
point of death disappear?" be asked
Impatiently.
"Don't know."
"You go hunt for him and let me
know which man has died. I suppose
It.is Berkeley.. White Is crazy to be
off, and if I'm not on hand at the min
ute Tm afraid he'll go without me."
Half an hour later the steward came
back and reported that the missing
man had not been found and the dead
man was Berkeley. Fergeson was so
sure that Berkeley would not live that
he did not question the man in the
matter, especially as he was about
stepping into an ambulance to take him
to the shore, where a boat was waiting
for him to put him on board the ship.
He 'told the steward to see that the
lieutenant had a decent burial and
made a mental note to put the de
ceased's name down on the dead list as
feoon as he boarded the gunboat
All these persons were young. Fer
geson was an assistant surgeon, hold
ing only the grade of first lieutenant.
White was but an ensign, traduated a
few days before the breaking out of
the war at the Naval academy. Berke
ley, who was reported dead, was but
twenty-three years old and the hos
pltal steward not ranch his senior. To
the youth of the persons concerned Is
due the want of care in the matter that
has been mentioned, youngsters aro
not to be trusted as older officers, who
would not have been iikely to hurry
away from the duties committed to
their Care, leaving one sick man roam
ing no one knew where and another to
be buried without- making sure as to
who be was.
From the time that Surgeon Ferge
son entered the name of Lieutenant
Berkeley on his death roll he thought
no more of him. He worried about
Sergeant Moore, whose disappearance
the hospital steward had reported,
fearing that, since the man bad been
in his charge, something might turn
up to bring out his failure to remain
in Cuba and discover what had be
come of him. But as for Berkeley, be
was safe underground and could not
In anyway stir up the army regula
tions against the doctor.
Five years after the Spanish-American
war a party of young persons was

roe. One of the young. ladies. "Miss
Julia Hulet, was receiving some at
tention from a young officer. Captain
John Foster, who had been promoted
lfrom the ranks, or, rather. Captain
Foster, was offering bis attentions,
which Miss Hulet was chary of ac
cepting. Since It was near the hour for dress
parade, one of the party proposed that
they go into the fort and see the cere
mony. As they moved along a gentle
man joined Miss Hulet, who seemed
i very much pleased to meet him. She
Introduced him to her friends as Mr.
Berkeley.
On hearing the name Captain Foster
looked fixedly upon. Berkeley as
though trying to recall some memory
concerning Wm. From the moment
of the latter's arrival he devoted him
self to Miss Hulet, who received his
attentions graciously, evidently to the
annoyance of Captain Foster. The
Spanish-American war was mentioned,
and Berkeley spoke of having partici
pated in the affair.
"Beg your pardon, Mr. Berkeley,"
Foster spoke up; "with what corps did
you serve In Cuba?"
"The th New Jersey infantry."
"There was a Lieutenant Berkeley
of that regiment, but he died in Cuba."
"I was the only Lieutenant Berkeley
in ,the regiment," replied the other,
"and I did not die in Cuba." The
words were spoken sharply since Fos
ter had implied that Berkeley was
passing under false colors.
"I'm sorry to differ from-you as to
Lieutenant Berkeley's death," said Fos
ter insultingly. "I know for a fact
that Lieutenant Berkeley of the th
New Jersey died in Cuba. The reason
I know it Is that I came home with
the last departures from Santiago, and
Surgeon Fergeson, who was with us,
spoke of Berkeley's death, regretting
that he was unable to remain in Cuba
to attend to the officer's burial."
"I will call upon you tomorrow," re
plied the man who claimed to be
Berkeley,' "and will convince you that
Mr. Berkeley is alive and very much
In evidence."
This ended any further reference to
the matter at the time, but there was
not a person in the party who did not
think about it intently. Miss Hulet
was the one principally affected by it.
and during the time the party were
witnessing the parade she showed by
her manner that she took sides with
Mr. Berkeley, being especially gracious
to him and cool to Captain Foster.
After the parade was finished and the
party were walking toward the hotels
Berkeley stopped to speak to an oflicer
whom he had met in Cuba.
"Wbo is this Captain Foster?" asked
Berkeley.
"He was a hospital steward during
the war. After it was over, through
influence at Washington, he received
an appointment as lieutenant in the
regular army. He has recently been
promoted to be captain."
That was enough for Berkeley. The
same evening when a party were gath
ered in the principal hotel, Foster and
Berkeley being present, Berkeley said:
"Captain Foster, do you remember
going into a ward In a hospital In San
tiago where two men were supposed, to
be suffering with fever?"
Foster started, but made no reply.
"I had been in that ward at the point
of death, but in the gray of the morn
ing the fever left me. and I craved
water. 1 pot up to go for it. Where
I went I i1 : ' '"try.-. I.ut a few days

later r found myself iu a Cuban hut,
not knowing how I got there. I learn
ed long afterward that a hospital stevn
ard had reported me dead and that the
other man, a sergeant in a cot beside
me, had been buried under my name.
' "After my return to the north it be
came necessary to prove my identity,
which I did to the satisfaction of a
court But I believe that to the pres
ent day I am on the rolls of the dead
of the army at Santiago."
While Mr. Berkeley was making this
statement Miss Hulet kept her eyes
fixed on Captain Foster. When Berke
ley finished Foster stammered some
thing about an "unlikely story," then
turned and began to talk incoherently
with one of the young ladies of the
party. Miss Hulet. with a look of
contempt at him. walked away with
Berkeley.
Thus ended an episode due to the
hurry of two offiVers to get away from
a benighted laud, one of whom was
eager to meet his fiancee and the other
fo avoid being left behind. The third
man the hospital steward -was doubt
less too lazy to make rerrain as to the
identity of a dead man.
Nevertheless the saying "murder will
out" is true In less important matters.
The story that lias leeii given here
was repeated in the army, and Foster
was finally called to account for a de
linquency of several years before. Sur
geon Fergeson was involved, and both
officers after an investigation were
reprimanded
WORK TO START AT
IT
Work on the reservoir and pumping
station at Gladstone will be started
in a few days and the plant will be
in operation by July 1.
The contract for the erection of the
pumping station has been awarded to
Catto & Nelson, of Gladstone. The
contract for building the reservoir and
laying the pipes has been let to the
Jahn Contracting Company, of Port
land. There will be more than three
miles of piping, the main pipes to be
laid along Alington, Dartmouth and
Hereford Streets.
The water will be pumped from a
well on the Clackamas river into a
resovoir, near Chautauqua Park, to
have a capacity of 300,000 gallons. The
pump house will be constructed of re
inforced concrete and will be 14x28
feet. The well, which will be of brick
with concrete facing, will also be con
tracted for within a few days. It will
be arranged so that the water will be
allowed to pass through gravel for
filtration.
