WOMAN IS HELD UP ROBBED BY TWO MASKED MEN THIS MORNINQ AT GLADSTONE. Two masked men held up a woman this moring at the end of lane where the road forks north of the Chan tnaqaa grounds at Gladstone Park. The woman had 20 cents tied in her handkerchief and the highwaymen tore the handkerchief to pieces and took the money. One of the men stopped a wood hauler a few minutes before the holdup and asked the way to the car line. He told the wood hauler they were from Oregon City. His partner was several hundred feet away and the wood hauler was unable to obtain a good view of him. The man 'who stopped him was without a coat, "Was smooth shaven and was about 35 years of age. The woman was too .badly frightened to give a description or clue. Sheriff Shaver was notified and went to the scene at once but the meagre description of the men prevents pursuit. He found that the tracks of the men went toward the electrio rail way track. MOEHNKE'S MISFORTUNE. Man Who Was Burned Out Last Fall Loses His Mill By Fire.

DIMICK Attorney-at-Law, Oregon Oily, Or "A SAILOR'S MASCOTS. Rlacellaneona Collection That II Takes From the Shore. Jack Tar is notoriously Improvident, and most of our naval seamen when they get ashore spend their money, be It more or less, .with a lavish luind. Shore leave Is limited to twenty-four hours, but In that brief time the unre strained sailor manages to run through about all the cash he carries with him. He plunges into a whirl of dissipation knd Is oftentimes cheated or robbed of a good share of his ready assets, but a percentage of the latter Is also apt to go for anything that happens to strike his almost childish fancy. Mascots are the seafarer's delight, and whatever he may come across which seems to htm to have a tallsmanlc property he is bound to buy it if he can; hence when the "pier jumpers," as those on shore leave are technically called, return in well filled barges to the ship and under direction of the master at arms climb up to the deck they are likely to bring with them a miscellaneous collection of goats, dogs, parrots, monkeys, roDst- ers, etc. One sailor on the Kearsarge, either In or out of his senses at the time, went so far as to purchase as a mascot a colored baby from its mother for the sum of 40 cents and came aboard with It In his arms. lie was not allowed to retain It, however, and the child was eventually restored to its repentant and hysterical parent. ilow many of the mascots may be kept on board lies within the discretion of the captain. A liberal policy is pur sued In this matter. But manlfc-stly there Is a limit to the number of those that can be accommodated. The sur plus Is sent ashore without dRlay. When the returned "pier Jumpers" are lined up while the ship's writer calls the roll to discover the laggards, It is one of the most perplexing duties of the officer of the deck to decide What dumb creatures uiny or may not be added to the vessel's menagerie. If the vessel Is on her way homeward from the tropics, she usually carries a large variety of living presents for the home friends of the sailors. But these are only temporary tenants of the hold and would not be permitted to remain on board long. Leslie's Weekly. FACTS ABOUT FOLKS. In estimation of measurement men are more accurate than women. Moral action In child life Is more a matter of Imitation than intellect. Dull children are the most unruly, and unruly children are the dull .'st. Sweet is tasted best on the tip of the tongue, sour on the edge and bitter at the base. Mental images themselves constitute the motive, the springs of nctiun for all we do. Girls show less Interest In material things than boys and admire the (es thetic more. Those who have endured the most hardship In life are usually the least sensitive to pain. ' Blushing comes from shyness and fear. Is unnatural and morbid and is 'greater In women than In men. Rapid readers do their work better, as well as In less time, and retain more of the substance of what Is read than slow readers. COLOR IGNORANCE. la m BiWn WMIr , Mt ntaMaa. Color bttadn was tin topic oa&m f IfUMloa. Tiny tell dm rm eojot blind," Mid tb lawyer, I floal believe It Often, I admit,' I make ml takes In colon. I say that pink la red I any that green U bio. But It ta onl) the names of the colors I am off In. 1 am not, I Insist, color blind." The oca Ust who was In ths party nodded ap proval. "Exactly," b said. "Thess diagnos ticians of yours mistake your cats. They take color Ignorance for coloi blindness. Here they are as wrong as though they should say music Igno rance was music blindness as though, I mean, because you could not toll that certain struck note was 'E flat,' you wer dead to all musical gradations. Borne years ago, when tb xamlnatioa In colors of railroad men was Inau gurated, a bowl went np over ths amaslng amount of color blindness la America, and many a good man lost his Job unjustly. These men bad bean off in the names of colors, not in ths colors themselves. They could la a day or two have been taught what thay lacked. " Many of them, it Is likely, were not color blind. I say this be cause recently I heard of an examina tion of 800 railroad men that was con ducted in the proper way on an Eng lish line. About seventy of these men were a little off regarding color nomen clature, but not a single one of them was color blind." Philadelphia Record. Oriental Squatters. Most artists depicting the cast show men sitting crosslegged, tailor fashion. Easterners don't sit like that. Usually they stick their calves beneath them, sit on their heels and with the soles of the feet pointed upward, a painful pos ture for an occidental. The Hindoo usually rests on his haunches, with his knees pyramid style and his chin on their level. Try that attitude ten min utes and see how you like It. Traveling eastward, as soon as you touch Turkey you reach ' a district where sitting oa the floor Is the custom. You may then journey on for thou sands of miles, also north and south, and the millions fn that region are all floor squatters. When you arrive in China, however, then you are among other millions who sit on chairs. Go over to Japan, and then you get among squatters again. The question is. Why should the Chinese, among all the na tions of the east, use chairs? How Romans Took Their Food. The Bomans reclined at their ban quets on couches, all supporting them selves on one elbow and eating with their fingers from dishes placed In the center of the table. Each was supplied with a napkin, and knives were used, though It does not appear that every one was supplied with one. Nothing, It would seem, could be more fatiguing than to partake of a repast In such an awkward posture or less conducive to neatness, it being almost impossible to keep the hands clean even with water supplied by the slaves or to prevent the food and wine from falling on the clothing and the draperies of the couch. This manner of eating disappeared during the dark ages so far as the couch was concerned, but the peculiar ity of taking the food with fingers from a common dish continued afterward for more than 1,000 years. The Mtnd Daring; Sleep. "During sleep," says an authority on mental subjects, "the workings of the mind are under no control, and yet It seems to have a wonderful faculty of building up and arranging scenes and Incidents. I remember once having a vivid dream of going Into a house the furniture and inmates of which be longed to the middle ages. So clear was the dream that I had no difficulty In recalling It, and then as I went over each detail of dress, armor, Jewelry, or naments and other objects seen in my vision I realized that everything I had beheld was historically accurate that Is to say, that probably In a fraction of a second my mind had conjured up a scene to construct which, with the same faithfulness to detail, while awake would have taken me several hours." A Training Table. "Friend of mine today," said Mr. Kid tier, "was talking of coming here to board." "I hope," remarked Mrs. Starvem. "you ,were pleased to recommend our table ana "Sure! Told him it was Just the thing for him.. He's a pugilist and wants to increase bis reach." Catholic Standard and Times.

It is a fine art to produce a piano that possesses all the desirable qual ities and none of the poor ones. It involves the assembling of the right woods, metals, felts and leathers, and the proper seasoning, shaping and proper proportioning of them the exact regulation of the thickness of the sounding board to give it the pro per resonance, the right tempering and inding ;of the steel strings to give them the finest tone, the nicest ad justment of the action, and we might truthfully say, millions of other matters of minute detail Now, if the sound of a piano pos sesses all the desirable qualities, it follows of course that it lias been properly constructed. Such a piano is a gem. It will be as much satis faction 30 years hence as it is now. Come in and let us explain to you the construction of our instruments an their sound qualities.
