Price ar rived Tuesday and for a day or two were guests at the farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Aba King. The two families were neighbors and warm friends for several years at Wilbur, Washington, both having been among the early arrivals in that country. After a pleasant visit, Mr. and Mrs. Price left for home Wednesday. Eleven for Willamette and six for Pullman means much. Wil lamette was never before scored against on her own field. It played Stanford a o to 12 game and Berke ley o to o. What the Willamette Pullman game means is that Pull man is very strong, and that Stec kle' s men will be on trial for their football reputation in the big game this afternoon. 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. The subiect of the sermon at the Church of Christ next Sunday at 1 1 a. m. will!be one of more than ordinary importance. It will be the question ''Can I love my en emies?" A few years ago Wu Tins; Fans the Chinese minister to this country, in a speech at a ban quet, confessed that the sentiments of the Sermon on the Mount" were grand sentiments, but too high for frail humanity. Are they? Come and let us see. The subject at 7.30 will be "The Gospel." A chart will be used. colors, that was placed in the church by his relatives. The Eng- iib service was very pretty for the congregation chanted the responses. The large staked glues window in the front of the church was given by Americans. There is a unique hotel at this place. All the room? are named for Shakespeare's playp, the dining room is "Aa you Like It," the commercial room "The Tempest " We walked uocer the great Wall, along the hedga rows for a mile, to the 1 ttle straw-thatched c ttaze where the very youthful Shakes peare wco d ana won Ana Hitha wav, his senior by eifht ytars.

My virit to London was cut ehiit that I might go to Holiand, and we were eoon in the lacd of great wind mill?. It is very green and c'eio, arge herds of black and while Holstein cows grazed upon the ereen nom uumna we came to 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 ry quarter of the globe, and are of everv complexion, lnere some hoe Japanese here. The university building was once a royal pa lice nd is very near the emperors pal ace, tie nee l see tne emperor tre quently. He rides in his carriage, goes horseback or walks with nends. Oce day three of our American young lady studetts were walking abreast, they met in the park three German officers sl-to walking abreast; the young hdi'8 kept the center as they are accus tomed to do, ana toe men took the eiie. They weut m a few paces when a policeman said, "Tbat was ihe German emperor. Splendid indeed was tie eddi"g uf theoroivn prince. TOrse Eurip-an- are very food of pageants ai.a glitter and sboav.

JNever do I see one of these regal displays that I do not fael grateful from the depths of my soul that we as a na tion have laid aside all this gaud. 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 ing the principles of human liber ty: The German people are very anxious to see Tapan win and the people of RiMsia rise against op pression. As I come in. close con tact with the wrecks 01 govern ment f ceo more clearly what is 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 liflrmanv an d Berlin but I fear I have made my letter over long,. I never see the eun setting that my thoughts do not go with it west ward to the land of my nativity, yea yon, to my beautiful Oregon, where are the graves of my parents aod the frieods of my youth, he cool breezes, the ecow capped mountains and tbejinsi itaiioo of t a ture and a free and happy people.

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.

Child Not Expected to Live from One Hour to Another, but Cured by Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Keiuedy. Ruth, the little daughter of E. Dewey of Agnewville, Va., was seriously ill of cholera infantum last summer. "We gave her up and did not expect her to live from one hour to another," he says. "I happened to think of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and got a bottle of it from the store. In five hours I saw a change 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 by Graham & Wortham.
