Stanford a o to 12 game and Berke

football reputation in the big game

Portland Telegram: A num
ber of the football enthusiasts were
talking at the Multnomah Club last
night of what a good scheme it
would be to have the annual Cor-vallis-Eugene
game take place in
Portland. This year it is sched
uled for Eugene, November 11, but
next season it is possible the switch
might be made. It would certain
ly be a ecod financial proposition
for the teams interested. If the
Ores on teams continue to improve
it will not be long before they can
stand off California and Stanford
and even defeat them.

B-rlin last August a year ago. We
liked the city and decided to spd
the winter here. I received permis
sion from the German government
to teach, and secured a school at
ODce as iiingiisn teaccer to tier-
man young ladies; and as I can
have the position next year I think
of remaining a year longer. Before
was engaged to teacb, 1 was
obliged to go before a class in the
school end give a test 1 ssop, tbat is
to show what I could do. As the
pedegogics of Germany are very
thorough, I felt glad t) know that
we Americans can keep up with
them. I have since been paid to
lecture for some of the German
teachers' societies and I have done
hII kinds of English work-from
writing out our national songs to
secretly assisting some -German ex
aminers look over . state teacher'
papers in English. I found time
to attend lectures at the Univerei
ty of Berlio; this is a school of 14
000 etndente; they come from eve

everv complexion, lnere some

do I see one of these regal displays

I appreciate as never before the great
wisdom of our forefathers. If you
would appreciate our principles go
to a land where they are not and
note the difference.- France, our
follower and admirer did the most
signrficant thing possible when she
presented us the statue "Liberty Jkn-
liahtenite the-World." I fiod the
eyes of the world are upon us, and
with deep interest are ttiey noting
how successfully we are maintain

anxious to see Tapan win and the
people of RiMsia rise against op

most eesantial to our own stability.
If we will remain a happy and free
people, and every man a sovereign
then wb must freely . educate the
masses. Ignorance can not rule.
Through the intelligence of each
will the wisdom of the majority be
sufficient to perpetuate our democ
racy. I intended to tell much of

have made my letter over long,.

THE STORK BRINGS JOY
To the household but
how about the mother ?
Has she been iovful
during the weeks and
months preceding the
advent?
Too many mothers
find it a time of fearful
anxiety because of the
knowledge that they
are " not in good health."
Thev have allowed
weaknesses, pains and drains to accumu
late till the health is completely under
mined and they are "more than discour
aged," and all because they have been
misadvised by well-meaning friends or
maltreated bv an inefficient doctor.
To all such here is the news that there'
is a remedy that will heal and not hurt.
It was discovered forty years ago by
Dr. Pierce who searched Nature's labor
atory the earth, for the remedial agents
so liberally provided therein. He took
Lady's Slipper root, Black Cohosh root,
Unicorn root, Blue Cohosh root, Golden
Seal root, and by extracting, combining
and preserving, without the use of alco
li 1, the glyceric extracts of these natural
r"medies he has given to the world
l 'H. Piebce's Favorite Prescription,
v hich has to its credit the enviable and
1 '.".paralleled record of more than a half
l iillum of cures in the last forty years.
"Only those who have etven Dr. Pierce's
i nvorue rrescription a trial can appreciate
what a boon it is to suffering women." writes
: ;ss Vlnna Seamore. of 33 Elm St. Toronto.
( :it- "For two years I suffered intensely
f im female weakness until life was a burden
t me. I had distressing, bearing-down patns
I could scarcely stand up. Had hot
l isnes. was very despondent, weak, and ut-t-Tly
wretched. My physician gave me treat
ments but without success. I tried several
r-raedtes b'At obtained no relief until I be
paii to take Dr, Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion. I began immediately to improve, and
in four months' time I was as well and strong
as eTer."

Ruth, the little daughter of E. Dewey
of Agnewville, Va., was seriously ill of

for the better. . We kept on giving it and
before she had taken the half of one small
bottle she was well." This remedy is for sale
