THE BENEFIT Some citizens have
OF EXTRTMES expressed mild alarm
at the conjunction here this week of
the State Sunday School convention
and the Booster Day celebration. To
them it seems unfortunate that the
city should with one hand offer its hos
pitality to soberjntentioned, devout
students and workers for the uplift
ing of humanity; and with the other
hand scatter broadcast the seeds of
revelry and festivity, intermixed with
bartering and selling. They would
have either one thing or the other,
and believe that those in power did
wrong not to postpone either one or
the other occasion till the alternate
was through.
While it is true that this is an age
of specialization it does not seem
particularly amiss that there should
be two such diverse gatherings sim
ultaneously in the city. Rather does
it seem that one will act as a leaven
for the other, and that each will add
zest and interest to the other. It is
quite possible that the delegates to
the Sunday School convention, after
their day's attendance at sessions
where purely religious and education
al matters are discussed, will find a
pleasant recreation in watching the
revels of the Booster Day crowds, and
in sharing with them the entertain
ment provided. It is also not at ali
unlikely that the people who come to
town to visit the Stock Show and to
see the parades and generally to have
a good time, can gain some mental
improvement and new ideas by at
tending a few of the meetings of the
convention. In fact, the double na
ture of the occasion should prove a'
benefit to all, particularly as there
is but little chance of either feature
interf erring with the other.
At first blush there may seem little

enough in common between a Booster
Day celebration and a Sunday school
convention; but when one thinks of
the matter seriously, there are ad
vantages that accrue from the two
fold gathering. Oregon City can very
capably entertain the visitors to each
division of the activity; and the in
terminglng of mirth and assertiveness
on the one hand and seriousness and
modesty on the other should increase
the success of the three days. Here's
hoping both features will be more suc
cessful than their promoters antici
pated, and that visitors attracted by
both gatherings will be glad to the
presence of the other.

THE CHERRY
TRAP
He Was Doubly Caught.
By CLARISSA MACKIE
l'rufe.-sor Nash pedaled slowly down
the country road, a watchful light in his
grave eyes. The professor was on mis
chief bent, for it was cherry time, and
the scholar loved the delicious fruit
beyond any other variety. Moreover ,
his appetite could uot be satisfied by
the handsome cherries that were dis
played in fiat lMxes ou the fruit stands.
No exotic fruit for him His must be
the juicy oxheart such as grew on his
father's farm and whose recollection
spoiled the flavor of any other fruit for
him.
He had chosen to spend his vacation
In the next village to the one in which
he had been born. His father's farm
had long since passed into strangers'
hands, but the cherry trees still stood
there in a long row along the fence
If it bad been delightful to escape from
his dull boarding lion-- in town to the
country village it was' paradise to
leave the village tiefvix! and speed
over the highway i .-.:!;; "home."
though there was no; : -left of the
old life save the place itself. His par
ents were in California rejoicing in the
mild climate so different from the rig
ors of the east, and brothers-and sis
ters were scattered here and there.
He was the only unmarried one. aud he
declared himself a confirmed bachelor
It was moonlight, and perhaps you
can guess what the professor was go
ing to do ile was going to sneak
along under the stone wall that-bounded
his old home and climb up into the
third tree from the south end the
great oxheart tree- and have his fill of
the fruit
As he leaned his wheel against the
wall he was devoutly hoping that the
Whitsens. who now owned the place,
had not forestalled him by picking the
cherries.
With one bound of his well developed
body he was on the top of the wall
"I'M COMING DOWN," BE WARNED.
i
j He placed his bands on two large
; limbs above his head and drew himself
up to that point -where half a dozen
i lateral branches met the main trunk.
. Just then the unexpected happened.
' Something stringy aud netlike fell over
his Lead and shoulders, and something
firm and unyielding gripped him tight
ly, pinning his arms to his sides. He
- was sitting in the crotch of the tree,
and this unseen trap held him closely
' to the tree trunk. s
"Thundering cats!" be yelled In the
! most undignified manner, and his ex-
! clamation was answered by a subdued ;
i chuckle overhead, and at the same
i time the leaves rustled and a cherry :
; struck his head and bounded off again. !
I "What's all this, anyway?" demand-
ed Professor Nash, with just indigna- I
i tion ."Can't a man pick his own" !
; He stopped short there and bit his lips
"Are they your cherries?" called a
, girl's teasing voice overhead from the !
tree top. "Really 1 thought they be-
longed to Mr. Whitsen"
j The professor was twisting his neck
; for a glimpse of the speaker,-for he
was aware that her voice, was the
sweetest he had ever heard, and it
seemed to drop right out of the skies.
"How about my getting out of this
trap?" he asked at length when he bad
tested the strong net and the rigid iron
bands.
"I'm sorry, but you'll have to wait
until Uncle Ren comes back from
prayer meeting He has the key that
unfastens the trap I hope you're not

uncomfortable."
"No-o-o." besltated the professor. "I
am not uncomfortable, but, you see, I
came after cherries, you know."
"It is too bad to be deprived of them
after you have taken so much trou
ble." sympathized the girl, though he
was sure there was a laugh in her
voice. "Did you say you ate cherries
from this tree when you were a boy?"
The professor related his story, told
who lie was and why he came and
even went so far as to explain how he
expecled to be transported to his boy
hood days as soon as the first delicious
oxheart had passed bis lips. To further
establish his identity the professor re
lated many anecdotes pf his boyhood
and described every nook aud cranny
of the old home, so that his fair com
panion was fain to believe his story.
"I'm afraid you've a tedious wait be
fore you." she said. "The last bell is
ringing now. You must have met uncle
on his way to meeting."
"I met two people in a top buggy
drawn by a white horse." said the pro
fessor. "That would be Uncle Ben and Aunt
Minnie. Can you stand it another
hour?"
"If you will remain here, too," said
the professor boldly.
"Perhaps 1 better, so as to keep
watch over you. I suspect you are
very clever indeed, and you might de
vise some way to free yourself from
the trap. If yon did that Uncle Ren
would be broken hearted, he is so
proud of the invention."
The professor blushed in the moon
light, because he had already discov
ered that by straining every effort of
his great muscles be could free him
self from his bonds in three minutes.
"How about the little boys he catches?
I suppose they yell so loud you are i
glad to release them before ttey have I
l
time to examine the trap, eh?" ;
"That's just it. and they do bowl .
fearfully, poor little chaps." j
"Suppose 1 were to howl fearfully, j
What would be the result?" j
"It would be without avail unless j
some passerby beard you." she laugh-
ed merrily. J
"In the meantime I am apparently
talking to the moonlight." observed the
professor.
"I am picking cherries for you I
know Dncle Ren will be sorry and !
want to load you down with them "
Presently she spoke again. "I'm com
ing down." and almost instantly the
branches brushed his cheek and he
was conscious that a slender, white
robed form was balancing itself beside
him.
"I am Mr. Whitsen's niece. Elsie
Whitsen." said the girl, and the pro
fessor acknowledged the introduction
with as dignified a bow as he could
manage within the folds of his net
He wished sincerely he could see the
girl's eyes. AH he knew was that she
was dark, and when her profile was
outlined once against the trunk of the
tree, which was white in the moon
light, he knew with a triumphant throb
of the heart that bis hour had come
In the crook of one arm she carried
a basket, and he could see that It was
heaped with cherries Under his
weight the branch on which he stood
swayed downward, letting a stream of
moonlight full upon. her.
In the distance the village church
clock struck the half hour.
"I do hope uncle's trap will not er
cause you much inconvenience," ven
tured Elsie "Do you suppose I might
release you? Perhaps if you could tell
me how"
"Perhaps It would be better to wait
till Mr .Whitsen comes and let him
open it with his key. then the trap
need not be injured." returned the pro
fessor hastily. "Resides. I must make
my apologies to your uncle."
"It is too bad." said Elsip reflectively.
"Your evening has teen spoiled, and
you haven't had any cherries after
all"
"Not one "
"Ynu may have this basketful. I
shall put It down there by your bicycle
on the wall "
"Yon are not going down now?" he
said with alarm.
"I must' I will stay at the foot ot
the tree and tell Uncle Ren you are
here as soon as he returns." She slip
ped out of bis sight, and presently hei
voice came up from below. "I will ex
plain it to Uncle Ren as soon as he re
turns, and that will shorten yourjrn
prisoniuent." "It has not seemed long." protested
the professor, conscious of his looseued
bouds.
"Here they come now," called the
. girl And he heard her walking toward
- the house.
I There was the sound of a dis
I ioquy. and then heavy steps came and
I stopped under the tree, and somebody
: propped a ladder against the trunk,
i "I weigh 200 pounds, young man, and
if 1 make a misstep here tonight It
means a serious business (or me," said i
; a hearty voice, with an attempt at a
growl. '"If you're going to steal cher
ries why don't you come Just aftei

he can pull yon down?" The laddet
creaked .
The professor grew anxious for. the
man's safety. Confession was the only
mrse. , "I t-r.n ruin? down alone," he

called hastily.
"1 thought you was caught!" ex
claim the farmer.
"I've managed to loosen the trap so I
can get my arms free. There ugh V
With a mighty effort the professoi
shook off the cleverly contrived trap,
and It rattled among the branches.
"I'm coming down." he warned, and so
presently be stood at the foot of the
tree, making elaborate apologies to the
owner of the tree, who accepted them
with great good nature and invited
him into the house to eat cherries with
Elsie and her aunt.
That was the first of many visits to
the farm. "Confound that chap, Min
te!" Mr. Whitsen said one day. "I
believe he was loose all the while he
was up that tree"
"What makes yon think so, Ben?"
asked his gentle wife.
"Because!" said Uncle Ben. with a
sly glance at his pretty niece, who
blushed warmly
Later, when they were married. Mr.
Whitsen kissed the bride and whis
pered in her pink ear:
"Thunderation. Elsie, when I set lhat
cherry trap. I didn't think I was trap
ping a husband for you!"
DAMAGES ARE. A WARDED
