For the Children
Two Baby Waifs Rescued
From the Sunken Titanic.
1912, by American Press Association.
When the steamship Carpathia,
which picked up the survivors of the
wrecked Titanic, came into the port of
New York she carried two small
French boys whom ' nobody knew.
They were cared for by a Miss Hays
of New York. The children were mere
babies, one four, the other a little over
two years of age. and answered to the
names Louis and Lolo. They knew no
other names. The babies were found
wrapped in a blanket in one of the Ti
tanie's lifeboats. According to the
stories told by survivors, a man passed
the children . into the boat just as it
was leaving the side of the" ship. Of
ficers stepped forward to prevent his
taking a place in the boat, but he de
clared he did not wish to go. asking1
that the children be taken. They prov
ed to be the sons of Mme. Navratll of
Nice. France. They had been taken
away by their father, who probably
perished on the Titanic.
Donkey In Lion's Skin.
A donkey finding a lion's skin put
by hunters in the sun to dry. bravely
clothed himself with it. Returning
speedily to his native village, he sorely
frightened his friends and companions,
both men and animals. His appear
ance making such a great impression
he was unable to withhold bis great
glee and brayed out bis heehaws in
boisterous guffaws. Forthwith those
who had fled now turned upon him
and gave him a merciless heating and
cudgeling.
Later, while moaning and whining
in his lonesome corner, his friend, the
fox. gave him this advlep:
"A fine appearance may disguise, but
silly words will disclose a fool."
No Laughter Party.
Great fun is caused by a party given
by children to children where the rule
of the evening is "no laughter permit
ted." Every time the rule is trans
gressed a forfeit must be paid, to be
redeemed later on. and all games, are
played with the one idea of provoking
laughter. Every child comes in some
quaint homemade costume, a prize be
ing given for the funniest and. instead
of the usual decorations, absurd toys
are placed on shelves and , mantel
pieces, such as long bodied dogs and
cats, odd colored birds and monkeys.
rag dolls, Teddy bears, etc.. all in the
funniest possible attitudes.
Slap Jack.
This game of cards can be played by
not more than ten persons. The cards
are dealt one by one and olaced in a
pile, face downward, before each play
er. Then in turn each one takes a card
from the top of his pile and. without
looking at It. plays it In the center of
the table. WBen a jack is thrown on
the table all the players try to slap it.
and the one who does so first takes all
the cards In the center of the table
and adds them to his pile. The object
Is to obtain all the cards, and the one
who succeeds in this is the winner of
the game.
A Castle In the Air.
Featherly Flutter and Fidgety Wing.
Twitter and Flitter and Warblety Sing
Were five little birds who lived one spring
In a castle in the air.
Each was as happy as queen or king.
Without a care about anything.
When the mother bird a worm would bring
Each birdling had a share.
If a bee came by with a flip and a fling
They welcomed him gavly nor feared his
sting.
And they cheerily chirped as they sat In a
ring'
While the bee flew here and there.
When their little air castle would sway
and swing
Then closer together the birds would cling
And merrily chirrup a tlng-a-ltng-ling
For the gladness everywhere.
St. Nicholas.

BEST SALMON CATCHES
MADE NEAR FALLS
The run of salmpn in the Columbia
and the Willamette rivers is now ex
tremely small. While there has not
been a heavy catch in the Columbia
since the season started, the hauls at
Oregon City have been unusually
good up to this time and Columbia
river canners received some of their
supplies from there. -
With the more limited catch in the
Willamette, practically all of the Co
lumbia river fishermen who have
been temporarily operating there
have departed for their homes, and
this will probably end for the season
the purchases of Columbia river pack
ers in this section. Only three boxes
of salmon, or the smallest amount of
the season to date, were shipped by
the Pillar Rock Packing company to
its lower river cannery Tuesday.
A private advice from the lower Co
lumbia stated that the hauls of sein
ers are comparaticely nominal. Some
of the crews were taken off a week
ago and but few are now operating
owing to the inability to catch more
fish. The river is rising and with
muddy water the catches are so light
that they are scarcely to be consider
ed at this time. -
The market for canned salmon re
mains very firm, with many inquiries
for the new pack coming forward, but
with practically all Columbia river
packers oversold..

litigation. She also will ask that the
monthly alimony be deposited with
the clerk.
Abdut a year ago an order was is
sued annuling the marriage, but Mrs.
Taylor subsequently asserted that
she had not been served with the
summons, although it was published
in a paper sent to her address, "and
Judge Eakin reopened the case. An
appeal was taken but the Supreme
Court sustained the ruling of the low
er court, and the case now will be
tried on its merits. The defendant
in an affidavit accompanying the mo
tion alleges that her husband is worth
more than $1,00,000, and that after
their marriage he sold a mine in Ne
vada for $1,200,000.
She further avers that when they
lived together their living expenses
were about $3,000 a month, and that
$2,500 monthly is necessary for r
to live in the style she lived then.
She avers that the witnesses to re
fute the charges made against h3r by
her husband will have to be brought
a long distance, and that from $200
to $300 will be necessary to pay the
expenses of each of them. She also
asks $5,000 counsel fees.
Mrs. Taylor alleges that she began
suit for support in California, in
which she asked $2,500 monthly ali
mony, but the plaintiff transferred all
his, property in that state to defeat
the' judgment. She declares .that she
is wholly without means of support,
and as a result of worry is ill and un
der the care of a physician.
Affidavits also were filed by R. Y.
Williams, a lawyer of California, who
represented the plaintiff when eject
ment proceedings were issued against
her to oust her from the home in
which she and her husband had lived
at Santa Ana, Cal. She avers the
property was turned over to Russell
T. Joy and later to Edith Warburton
Joy. A. J. Crookshank was appoint
ed receiver of the property which is
still in litigation.
