Likening the balmy-aired and rose
scented vales and the timbered hills
of Bulgaria to the beautiful Willam
ette valley, Frank Busch, who not so
long ago made an extended trip into
the out-of tive-way places of the Old
; World, gives a most interesting de
scription of the Balkans the home of
a brave people who are now strug
gling in a bitter war against the pow
ers of Europe and Asia Minor in an
effort to establish themselves as an
independent nation. Mr. Busch has
been a keen observer of the lands
: through which he passed, and in de
scribing the things he saw, tells his
story in an intimate way that brings
before the mind a living picture ot
the forsign climes and scenes.
Spea':ing of this land in the Old
World, he says:
"Bulgaria, is a land especially
adapted for dreamers. Everything is
green. Nature clothed, the hills,
fields and meadows in gorgeous at
tire. The sides of the valleys are
covered with fragrant, blooming lin
den and wild pear trees; creeks are
bordered with green-carpetted msad
ows and fields of rye, and even uncul
, tivated lands are decked man-high
with blooming flowers an wild grains.
The many large trees, standing isolat
ed, give the relief of dark shawods
drawn on the light green below, mak-
ing of the whole country a beautiful
picture.
"The golf grounds noar Portland,
along the banks of the Willamette, re
mind me much of these Bulgarian
scenes, which when seen once can
never be forgotten. All the low-lying
lands along the Danube are counter
parts of our Oregon valleys.
"The villages are large but far
apart. Church bells can be heard ev
erywhere, but the churches are most
ly but poor hovels. I traveled through
Bulgaria in 1881, and camped in oie
of them over night. This church was
really a part of a cow stable, some
ten feet square, the roof mas thatched
with straw, and the ceiling hardly
high enough to permit of one standing
upright. The door was the only open
ing, and what light and air there was
had to find its way in through this
aperture. On one of the walls hung
heavy oil-cloth, painted upon which
iWerfe holy pictures.
"The floor was covered with cheap
carpet, and in one corner stood a
cheap table bearing two candlesticks.
These were the furnishing of the
church of the village known as Gas
sabeilen. Practically all the inhabit
ants of the villages are Christians,
but along the Danube's banks are to
be found man farmers who profess
the Mohammaden faith.
"Not far from this village I enter
ed the old Bulgarian capital of Tirua
wa. A more romantic spot I do no
believe exists in all the Balkan states.
The river Jantra has cut a deep bed
through the soft sandstone, and be
tween vertical walls this stream
winds its way like a serpent through
a broad valley. The roads twere in
poor condition, and in many places
were similar to our mountain trails. .
"The hills are mostly covered with
giant walnut trees. Near the small
town of Kasoulik I measured one of
these beautiful monarchs, and found
it to be more than 100 feet in dia
meter at the bottom of the crown.
The walnut tree is no doubt the most
symetrical and ornamental of all that
are native to the Balkans. . Its dark
green foliage, the shadows under the
high crown, the rich vegetation about
the trunk, and the rippling of the
springs and brooks near which the
trees grow to such enormous size
all this adds to their enchanting
beauty.
"During the bright - unny hours one
can hear the merry song of a wild
pigeoncalled the laughing pigeon
in the dense foliage, while in night
time the nightengale fills the air with
its melodies.
"The country is immensely rich
with springs. I recall one that I saw
beside the main road, jumping out of
graveley soil about ten inches thick,
and running away as a little, brook.
All hardens and fields are irrigated
from such springs, the supply never
giving out. Every valley is a picture
of plenty, many of the fields bearing
rye six and seven feet high. Pacture
lands, on which are feeding large
herds of sheep or cattle, add to the
. impression of plenty everywhere.
"Bulgaria's skies are always heavi
ly clouded, and frequent thunder
showers aid in keeping the fields
moist. These showers are always of
short duration, and are followed by
the brightest sunshine.
"Kasoulik is the old, historic land
of the rose. The blooms are not
grown as an ornament to garden'.s,
nor are they cultivated for their
beauty. Instead they are plantel in
rows like berries, and are harvested
' for commercial gain. According to
the Koran, the rose 'gul' in Turkish
" originated during the Prophet's as

The murder of pretty Miss Crispell, whose body was found . in Harvey's

J perate work, and perspired at it
mightily, and out of every drop or
sweat that fell to the ground a white
rosebush sprang yellow .ones from
the sweat of his horse, and red ones
from the, sweat of the archangel Ga
briel. It is a common saying in Kas
oulik that Gabriel must have had th3
worst of the trip, for most of tht
roses are red.
"Roseleaves are much in demand in
the Orient for culinary purposes. Pre
served in sugar they are a staple mp
on the breakfast table of every well-to-do
person. And Bulargia furnishes
a large share of these leaves. But
the main purpose of the cultivation of
the beautiful blooms in the Balkans
is for the extraction of rose oil from
the flowers. One can buy this oil in
Kasoulik for 15 piastres a drachmc.
In Constantinople they sell whot pre
tends to be the same for 8 piastres,
but there is little of the real rose oil
that gets to the hands of the con
sumers. "Roses cultivated for th-s purpose
are of the old-fashione;', drrk red,
thick-leaved variety; and there is no
doubt in my mind that soil and clim
atic conditions are largely responsi
ble for the heavy percent of oils. Of
course, if American enterprise and
capitol were to be introduced, nothiug
would be left to chance, and the
chemical laboratory would become
important adjunct of the rose fields."

mention is height, or the moral and
spiritual side of man which differ

The speaker scoffed at the idea of
heredity and environment playing an
important a part in a man's career as
some would have us believe. "Man
never inherited a habit. Speaking in
the ideal way we are not man and
woman; we are the raw material. We
may inherit a weakness, but never a
habit. This influence of heredity and
environment is greatly overdrawn.
The basis is often laid in heredity or
environment, but the product, never."
Gladstone Park, under smiling skies
was at its best Wednesday, and the
attendance was exceptionally good.
All classes of the summer school
boasted of crowded audiences, and in
the evening the last of the three days'
domestic science course given by Mrs.
Robbins of O. A. C, drew an audience
of over 200 women, notwithstanding
the counter attraction of a ball game
at the same hour. Among the prom
inent visitors on the grounds and who
were guests at the Shakespeare club
were Col. Robert S. Miller, of Port
land; Hon. C. B. Moores, of Portland;
Colonel Bain, Mrs. E. A. Davis, presi
dent of P. E. O., chapter "A" of Port
land; Prof. F. C. Taylor, of Pacific
University, and Mrs. Adah Wallace
Unrugh, of Portland. The work of
Mrs. Elder's art class which also haa
headquarters at the Shakespeare tent,
is attracting wide attention, and the
work of some of the budding etchers
is remarkable. v
Thursday is one of the big days of
the assembly. The Chautauqua "page
ant" given by the several hundred
children camped on the grounds will
be the greatest children's feature ever
attempted at the local assembly. The
work is under the direction of an ex
pert; Miss Grace Lamkin, of Chicago,
111. Practically every child on the
grounds will take part. The pageant
occurs at 2:00 p. m., on the athletic
field, with full band accompaniment.
Some of the features are the "Hansel
and Gretel'" group; the spear drill,
the "butterfly dance;" the "squir
rels;" "Das Gartenspiel," and . num
erous folk dances. This is the exclu
sive feature of the aftternoon until
the ball game at 3:30. A great lec
ture by the venerable Colonel Bain
on "A Searchlight of the Twentieth
Century" will be the evening feature.
The popular colonel has been hob
bling about the grounds, bly bruis
ed as the result of an auto accident
in Portland.

MURDER MYSTERY
N '
Trading a motorboat for an automo
bile may be good business, but Fred
Miller is not so sure that it is an en
joyable thing to do. And thereby
hangs a tale. Mr. Miller, accompa
nied by Steve Bird and Estell Mbnt
gomery made a trip to Washougal re
cently in the Roamer, Mr. Miller's
heavy weather cruiser, The start
was made from Oregon iCty at six in
the morning, and after being beset by
many perils- the cruise was ended lato
in the afternoon. There Mr. Miller
traded the Roamer for an automobile,
and the bunch started' homeward af
ter Miller had practiced some 15 min
utes with the benzine buggy.
After going eight miles one of the
tire3 on the auto blew out, and Miller
exerted his knowledge of seamanship
in patching the leak. Two miles from
Vancouver the benzine chariot stop
ped with a weak snort, and investiga
tion showed that the gasoline had giv
en out. The entire party hoofed it
into the garrison town, where Mr.
Montgomery took the train for home.
The rest acquired gasoline in sundry
carriers and returned to the car, in
which they slept all night.
The journey to Oregon City was re
sumed the next morning, and proud
bu exhausted the party finally reach
ed Oregon City. Miller says tha.: af
ter he gets the knack of the auto he
expects to have a real good time with
it.
SEXES WILL CLASH
ON DIAMOND EIELD
A baseball game between the ladies
and gentlemen will be a feature of
the Clackamas County Automobile
club's run to Wilhoit Springs Sunday,
and .members are looking forward to
seeing one of the most unique games
in the history of the great national
sport. Aside from the game, there
will be a continuous concert by the
Molalla band, dancing for those who
want to, a bowling contest for the
heavyweights who do not care to try
their prowess upon the diamond, and
swimming races in the big pool. Mem
bers who are not feeling in the best
of health will be permitted to take
mud baths, arrangements having been
made with the management of the
health resort to care for the ailing.
Thirty-five reservations have al
ready been made for plates at the
chicken dinner that will be one of the
attractions, and it is expected that
many more will send in their names
before -Friday, by which time the list
will be clased. M. D. Latourette, John
F. Risley and William R. Logus com
pose the committee in charge of the
run.
BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
Nothing adds more to the beauty
of women than luxuriant hair. The
regular use of Meritol Hair Tonic will
keep the hair healthy, promote its
growth, keep it clean and bright, and
gives it that wavy appearance so
much admired. Jones Drug Co.. sole

LUNCH EIVE CENTS,
DINNER EIFTLEN
TACOMA, Wn., July 16. One of
the interesting features of the Puyal
lup summer school, which is attract
ing much attention, is the emphasis
being laid on instruction in lowering
the cost of living, and of special in
terest along this line is the work ot
the class in rural school lunches:
With an equipment costing $5.50, in
cluding a gasoline stove, kettles,
pans and other utensils, the class of
twenty-four students, teachers, prin
cipals, ministers, stenographers, etc.,
prepare their hot lunches every day
at the remarkable cost of 5 cents or
less. The class is one which is thor
oughly practical and the lunches such
that they, might be served in any
rural school.
With the same idea of economy in
purchasing the cooking a series of
"Working Man's Dinners" are being
served to a number of invited guests
by the advanced class in domestic sci
ence. The menus are attractive and
satisfying and the cost below 15c per
plate. It is quite evident that no ex
travagant ideas of buying and cook
ing are being fostered in the classes
at the summer school. M(uch of the
economizing must be done by the
housewife and the women in these
classes in domestic economy are be
ing taught how to teach others to buy
right, "know what you want, and get
what you want."
rival here expressed great delight in
the city and conutry. When they left
their home a hot wave was corching
everything to a rich brown, and the
green vegetation and cool weather
here are much appreciated by them.

Her Case and Tells How She
Suffered.
Jonesboro, Ark. "I suffered a com
plete break down In health, some time
ago," writes Mrs. A. McGill, from this
place. "I was very weak and could
not do any work. I tried different
remedies, bat they did me no good.
One day, I got a bottle of Cardui. It
did me so much good, I was surprised,
and took some more.
Before I took Cardui, I had headache
and backache, and sometimes I would
cry for hours. Now I am over all that,
and can do all kinds of housework. I
think it Is the greatest medicine on
earth."
In the past fifty years, thousands of
ladies nave written, like Mrs. McGill,
to tell of the benefit received from
Cardui.
Such testimony, from earnest women,

tonic remedy, for diseases peculiar to
women. Are you a sufferer? Yes?
Cardui is the medicine you need.

WOMEN ON HORSEBACK.
They Cut a Queer Figure Before Side-
saddles Were Invented.
Before Queeu Catherine de' Medici
started the fashion of sidesaddles by
having a board slung on the left side
of her horse to support her feet all
poor women rode on a pillion behind a
man. All women of the better class
rode astride.
A lady to prepare for riding bent
forward and took hold of the lower
hem of the back of her dress skirt,
drew it through between her legs and
wrapped her skirts around her legs
down to her knees, then folded the rest
of her skirts across the front of her
person.
Then she drew on a pair of large
trousers, the legs of which ended just
below the knees, where they were
sewed to the tops of a pair of clumsy
riding boots. The upper part of the
trousers was' open in front, and the
flaps folded across the person and fas
tened by a band around the waist A
hood was worn on the head, and a
mask protected the face from sun and
weather. She rode on a man's saddle
and wore spurs and carried a quirt
(riding whip) looped on the right wrist
The same style and kind of quirt Is
now . used , by our western cowboys
and plains Indians And was formerly
carried by the Cossacks.
A lady in riding costume, whether on
foot or on horseback, was anything but
a graceful figure.
Our great-grandmothers rode on slde-
V
saauies, one tueir rjreai-greax-graiia-mothers
rode astride if they belonged
to the gentry class.
Our plains Indian women, even when
they changed their buckskin skirts
that came to the knee and their buck
skin leggings for the long calico skirt
of white women, always rode astride.

THEY DIDN'T MIND DIRT.
In the Days When Clothes Were Dyed,
but Never Washed.
In the matter of the washing of
clothes, not to say the washing of
themselves, our ancestors were a trifle
lax. The laundress of the twelfth cen
tury must have held a position which
was practically a sinecure, while it
seems within the bounds of possibility
that in those days she did not exist
at all. There were, Insooth, few gar
ments which would stand washing,
and the dyer was driving a brisk trade
before the laundress was even thought
of. A little dye must indeed have cov
ered a multitude of spots.
In the days of the Tudors and Stu
arts washing was a trifle more In evi
dence than formerly, but those articles
which were permitted to find their
way into the "buck pan" as the wash
ing tub used to be called were few
and far between. The wealthy of the
middle ages got over the difficulty of
obtaining clean underclothing with
primitive simplicity by not wearing
any, while the lower orders wore
coarse woolen garments that would

To pursue a game with Fate.

New York Sun-
NEW YORK; July 16. It seems
that something should be done to put
Annie Boyarsky, the 18-year-old Rus
sian girl, obsessed with what psyscho
logists term "maternal mania," out of
harm's way and, at the same time, to
prevent her causing anguish to moth
ers by stealing their children. The
girl has a mania for little children,
whom she loves to "bemother." Hav
ing no child of her own, she takes lit
tle children that appeal to her ab
normal motherly instinct, wherever
she can find them and carries them
off to pet. them and play with them
until she grows tired of them.
The girl has kidnapped several chil
dren in recent years but in every case
the child taken by her was returned
and as no harm had been done, the
girl with the "maternal mania'" was
allowed to g- free. The other day
she carried off a little girl of four
years whose parents live in East New
York. She . abandoned the child af
ter a few days and since then every
effort of finding the "maternal
maniac" have been in vain. It is be
lieved that she left the city, fearing
to be punished for kidnapping the
child.
