This has the appearance of be ing just what" the University of Oregon's management was looking for, but it is not. It will be re membered that the challenge spok: en of .pas addressed to teams mak Ing a claim to the northwest cham pionship. Manager Johnson, cur iousiy enough, prefaces his accept ance with the phrase,, " while we make no claim to the northwest hampionshipwe will accept your challengeetc lhe cnallenge was for the purpose of securing a ogame with the northern competitors "who really have a claim to the coveted title. The University of Washington is steering clear of Sugeae, profiting by ; past experience- A game might be arranged in Portland the -second Saturday in December but it is doubtful.

The challenge of the 1j Diversity of Oregon, printed in a late issue of The Telegram, offered to play the winner of the Thanks giving game between the Universi ty of Washington and the Washing tea Agriculiural College to deter miine who has the right toclaim the JNorlnwest championship is notfay orably considered by the manage orient of the local team. Washington expects to win from tne w AU. In order to make it fair for all, Oregon should meet the W A C and the University of Idaho and defeat them. Then it would ie entitled to play with Washing ton for the Northwest champion- 'snip. As it is, Whitman College ,is tne only institution ofjjrpminen--ce whose colors have been lowered on the football field of the U of O this season. If the proposition of Oregon should be considered,' and by . some ill luck Washington .-should lose, Oregon would claim the championship of the Northwest and at the same time would have met only four of the leading colleg es in the Northwest. ' -AVfaile a game might be arranged, a game to decide the championship could not be considered because itis evident that Oregon has not proven itself to be in Washington's class. In fact; Oregon has not been - able "to defeat the numerous smaller col leges of the state. Albany college has juet as much right to ask for a game to decide its own superior ity over the ether teams in the -Northwest as Oregon has. The sen timent of the local team is that a team should be : victorious in its w t. u k.wiliuil unuc LUUUUJ UCIUIO attempts to conquer those who ' are victorious 0V6r teams in many sec tions of the country. - : ow the Seattle Daily Times comes out with a great harangue on tne normwest - cnampionship, in wnicn it -is . cieany snown that the University of Washington has ,io intention of meeting the Uni versity of Oregon thia season.

Judge Adams and Mrs Dnllis had. failed to comply with the requirements of the cust oms service, and therefore the pearl should be forfeited. Mrs Duilis in her defense said she intended to declare the necklace but that she desired to consult her husband on therteamship dock before doing so. While she was talking to her husband the treasury agent stepped up and asked her to hand him the necklace which Bhe was-wearing. the sheep seemed not at all out of bis element on the gay! Cpmstock Lode. Woolly was arderelietr a lone " lamb 'when first he entered Virginia's pre cincts, abandoned by a careless shep herd ana pursued by coyotes into .the yery' heart pf. that bustling- mining camp. The miners were just change ing- shifts when the lambkin darted down C street; night shadows threw a gloom abroad, and" the diminutive, flit ting white object mystified the miners a they - troopetf" homewards. One" thick-tongued Individual shouted out : "Look at it, boysj. .: Tis a will o' wisp!'.' . .The "wisp" bleated pitifully, and the merry meu laughed loudly as they be held a timid lamb.'' "Not will o' wisp, Slimps, , but a '. decidedly woolly one, man!" . . ; .' T" ' . " In such fahsion did the sheep come1 by his name,' and from that date Woolly Wisp playeda privileged role to. Virginia's circles. !No one person! claimed mm.:.. He was public . prop erty, and consequently Woolly's bringing up lacked a certain propor tion of home . influence so essential to' the proper training of young things. The first real wicked deed Woolly en acted endeared him to the whole bevy of school children. If the sheep had reasoning powers, one would be in clined to believe he maliciously Planned hi&.assault against Prof. Wig stie, principal of the Virginia schools. The principal adhered to the "rod" motto, and the pupils hated him much and feared him more. Prof. Wigstie was partial to tan shoes; hecared not what style they were so "long as the color gleamed yellow. His most recent acquisition in shoe leather made glad his heart a glaring saffron shade, and soles that squeaked in a minor key, thus attracting not only the eye but the ear as well. Woolly Wisp stood in a side street one bright morning. The hang of his head bespoken dejectedness; a ; bat tered tin can, suffixed, explaining his bad mood. Woolly frequently rattled tinrware through the precipitous streets on Mt. Davidson's slopes. It always ruffled his temper, which was pretty average bad at its best. While brooding in this ugly state of mind, a tall, spare man with vividly yellow and noisy shoes adorning his pedal extrem ities squeaked by in insolent complai sance. Wooily stamped his foot; the can clattered behind him off he went, not like, but in reality, a battering ram. : Prof. Wigstie sprawled quite across C street. Many of his irrepres sible pupils gathered about the fallen owner of yellow shoes and los.t dignity. Woolly Wisp tarried not,Jtut continu.ed on.his career at a rattling pace.. - After that star performance of the sheep, no youth in any of the'Cirginia "cliques" ever again attached things to his tail. He was, in their eyes, a creature to be revered as the hero who "downed" the terrible Wigstie;. In such guise Woolly commanded all due re spect from the younger generation, and his future popularity was assured Sim ply by that one daring act. Wholly wasn't a traditional lamb, for he never ventured near the school house. The truce established between nimseii ana tne scnooi cnnaren oc curred at a too recent date to carry any weight with him. He distrusted impul sive youth, and many times he betook himself to the outskirts of Virginia City that he might be entirely out of sight and hearing of rough youngsters. Prof. .Wigstie lived near the town's edge, in a house that looked three sto ries high, front view, and a mere shed, back :c.w.-:-The steepness of the side hill site accounted for thj.s disparity. The Small, front ji'rd blazed with big sunflowers snd brilliu-nt' - dahlias. Woolly adu;i;-ei this fare garden-spot, and forced an -to trance one luckless afternoon. The professor, returning from school, espied - the trespasser; his wrath flared forth, and he bore down upon the . sheep in a frenzy. Woolly realized that safety lay in flight, and he immediately took that course.' , Away went pedagogue- and ram, caret n;ng down the mountain. At. a mcirm t when the race :seemed "explain. the miracles 4ost to Proi. VYisrstie, a dire calamity befell flue pursued.

Mrs Sechrest wisned to avoid testifying at the trial and last Monday threw a note pinned to a hat in the river atLeav enwortb, stating that she had drowned herself and baby. "I meant to kill myself and baby," she said today, "but the water was too cold. " , brush, yaivned directly in the sheep's - He disappeared down its black depths., Xo sign, no sound could Prof. Wigstie. detect of the ingulfed tor ment. - " : y- : - -"Good enough! That blasted beast is a hoodoo,- and it's good riddance of this -petted Woolly Wisp." The removing of the "$700,000,000 worth of silver and gold from the heart of Mt. Davidson necessitated a wonderful amount of excavation. To say that thg whole mountain is honey combed is a plain statement of truth. A force of men picking in a tortuous drift heard a muffled ba-a, ba-a. They stopped-work; caught the sound again, and, with a few strokes of picks, broke. through in to an old shaft. Eather an emaciated-looking sheep met their surprised gaze. One of his horns had been broken off; he appeared slightly iazed but they recognized in him the. mysteriously ; disappeared: - Woolly Wisp. . "Poor Woolly! - You're a sorry sight, but we are right glad to see you again," said Sljmps, he who. first disj covered this will o' wisp. It didn't take long to get the sheep out of his underground prison, nor did it consume much time for him to re gain his normal sprightliness. - - One lives in Virginia City but a brief penoa , ere, one learns thai the wind blows fiercely and freauentlv. Joo.n- larly t ermed Washoe zephyrs are thesY sweeping preezes , that- lift and carry tin roofs, capsize houses and! deftly pick box ears clear off the tracks. Prof. Wigstie wasan imported teach er.:' His peculiarities were, extremely . at endss that is," he ' adored' yellow sAoes, as hereinbefore - mentioned,; ana, annough past 50, had luxuriant, curly, black hair. On a Sunday, sev eral days after Woolly's rescue, the professor and his . wife were . coining home: from church. The morning had dawned beautifully, so Prof.. Wigstie took much pains with his toilet. Shoes a burnished yellow', hair an oily mass of curls. A Washoe .zephyr sprung suddenly'out of the west, even as the congregation poured forth from the holy edifice. ; It blew and ragd and rampaged with vim. . It twisted, gowns awry, and caught UP an occasional hat, or kerchief, or loose -wrap. .' fPrq,f. Wigstie held on to his hiead-geaf faith fully; abruptly- turning a cor.nerrhe let go his hat, threw up his hands and shouted: "Sarah, Sarah, look at it! That demon of a sheep! Why lie is a thousand feet" . .v -' , -"- The sentence went unfinished. , A boisterous gust snatched the profes spr s , n&tj ana at nrst tnougbt one would imagine, his hair arose from fright at the, spectacle - of '' Woolly Wisp's ghost. Not so; his hair lacked anchorage 'twas false. And there, in sight of thejwhole congregation, Prof. Wigstie stood, a ha tless, hair less individual; while his wig strange coincidence that Wigstie should wear a. wig whirled gayly on the wings of the wind. ' ' ' "Hoodoo sheep! Hoodoo sheep!" The words ran through his mind and slipped audibly over his tongue." The "hoodoo" sheep saw the tangled black ball of hair rolling swiftly toward him. He. jumped aside thea in funny stiff legged leaps he took-after the object. His low ba-a, ba-a, accompanied every jump. ' ' '.- - :. A jolly crowd of miners stepped out of a saloon. . They observed the details- of the Sabbath street-show and haw they did hoot! . Some one grabbed up the wig--with mock" courtesy it was returned to the dazed, chagrined peda sritnie. Prof. Wis-stie silently resolved .vtugtaaae should be his; that this sheep and he could not live peace fully together"in Virginia City.. " " He thought of shooting the beast no, that could not be; for the handling of pistols alarmed him as much as his wielding of a strap terrified the schol ars. ."Poison!,. I'll lay it in my garden, leave the gate open and Woolly's appe tite will do the rest.'' ;'.-." -' That evening the professor saw the. undaunted sheep eying his oasis-like flo!r-garden.- "pelays are danger ous, quoted wigstie, oracularly, and be quickly procured strychnine and deftly placed it here and there on the choicest plants Owing to the dilapidated condition of the wind-tossed wig,' the professor had ordered a new crop of hair. The same arrived late in the evening' of this day on which Wigstie plotted against. Woolly s life. Visitors hap pened to be at his house, and he laid the package on his bureau without examining it. "Mrs. Professor awom an, and curious opened the bundle, smiled approvingly and whispered . to herself: "Dear -Henry, he has at last overcome his. pride for his. youthful looks. . Bless his dear heart! "" This gray wig will be so becoming to him. She placed the wig on the stand where Henry always kept his hair and quite forgot it. In the wee early hours of morning Prof. Wigstie awoke with a start.: He listened apprehensively. An unusual pattering noise filled the room. He reached over in the dark and grabbed his wig, clapped it on his head, leaped out of bed and rushed to the window. He saw-Great Scott! he saw Woolly Wisp-multiplied on hitHt'redfold ! There were sheep in his garden.; sheep racing down the street; sheep scattered all over the sidehill. What could it mean? Was he dreaming? -.He trembled as the word, "hoodoo" flashed through" his mind. Pale moonbeams flooded every thing. ' They casta ghostly pallor upon the sleeping, sheep-hauutled city. Prof. Wigstie turned aside. - A mirror stood in the niche by the faintly illuminated window. Horror upon horrors! His hair his false hair had actually turned white! It is a wonder the man didn't go stark, staring mad. His wife tried to but failed utter ly. She did explain, tnough, to the trustees, why her husband could not attend to his, school duties; for he van ished completely, nor'was he again for Infants and Children. i TIie Kind Ton Have Always Bought has .borne the signa- -tore of Chas.

Several letters addressed to Prof. Wigstie ar rived, among which she discovered one from the-hairdresser-whe-supplied him with hirsute furnishings. It read like an apology; a mistake had been made; his wig was sent to another' party, and the other party an old man received his, the professor's, black curls. Mrs. W shook herhead, murmured something about "poor, puzzled dear'', and silently weipt.. -When a letter came, shortly after ward, she cheered up amazingly; bade a few friends good-by, and it was ru mored joined her husband, who came to hiesenses, but could not muster up enough courage to come-back to the scenes of his mortifying experiences with Woolly Wisp. -L: Woolly, fickle creature, deserted his happj' home and wandered off with the flock of she-ep that passed through Vir ginia's streets on ihe night of Wig stie's hallucinations. ."
