She brings two sons, a daughter and a niece, who will all enter college except a 16 year old son who goes to the public schools, Mrs. Cate is the mother of Grover Cate. the well known basket ball player who graduated from college last June. It's a true story and it trans pired recently in Albany. She was agent for? a patent health device, and in answer to her knock an el derly lady ' opened the door. "I have heie,4ometbing that ,1 would like to show you in the interest of good health," she began, but she in the doorway piously and solemn ly rolled her eyes skyward and in terrupted, ; "In this house we look to God for' health."

Mike, the faithful dog in the home of Dr. Pernot, and one of the best-known dogs in Benton, isdead Whether it was poison or a case of too much heat that killed Mike, ' is hot known. He always followed Dr. Pernot in professional trips about the town and county, appar ently considering himself a necessa ry adjunct of the medical establish ment of which the doctor is the head. For nine years he has dozed be side the buggy and horse or kept watch at the farm yard gate while his master ministered at a patient's 1 3 TT 3 1 - - 1 A.

That happened near the country place of Mrs. Ann Smith. On arrival home, Dr. Pernot missed his foor-footed friend, and in spite of blistering heat, drove back the state road in search of him. By the side of the fence lay Mike, as the buggy approached. "Here, Mike;" and with infinite trouble the stricken animal, managed to raise himselt on his knees. He gazed in the direction of the buggy, but could not see. The sight was gone with the ebbing life but there was recognition of the well-known and loved voice that called. "Here, Mike," and another unavailing ef fort to move and another pathetic but sightless gaze. . He was lifted eently into the buggy, and driven rapidly .home Remedied were applied witk.alj the gentle care incident to human min istrations but it was too late to save Mike. He died two hours after his owner found him by the roadside. Visitation by a hot wave has hap pened to Benton. It was here in all its pristine beauty Sunday. That was a day in which the old inhabitant sweltered and squirmed like a land pirate on trial before Heney. When the day was . done he was all in, and he didn't give a whoop whether school kept or not. The top notch touched duung the day was 98 in the shade. It was too hot to lie down and too hot to sit up. Such breezes as . blew came off of the sky scrapers of Portland and were a exasperating reminder of what might have been if they had been zephyrs from the sounding sea. Besides the heat, the atmos phere was full of dust and smoke which added all kinds of discomfort 1 to the torridity. When the average citizen lay down on his virtuous , bed about 10 o clock at night and pulled the drapery of his couch about him he uttered a fervent note of thanksgiving for the Willamette Valley night which never goes back on the man who longs to be cool.

SEEKS DIVORCE And Willing for his Wife to Have the Children Former Philomath man. Geoige W. Parker has brought suit for divorce from his wife Mary Parker. He resides at Oregon City and has brojght the case in the cir cuit court for Clackamas county. She lives at Philomath, and as a maiden was Mary Pulse. There are several, children and in his com plaint Parker says he is willing for his wife to have them. Parker is known to fame in this county as the plaintiff in a damage suit against C. H. James for alleg ed libel. James is also under crim inal indictment for what he wrote about Mr. Parker in a1 scurrilous article in which in practical effect he said Parker did not tiy to save his wife and children but rather looked after saving his gun when a boat capsized with them in Yaquina Bay, all of which Packer says is villianously false. James also said in the libelous article that Parker did not give his children sufficient food and that neighbors had to take and keep some of them until they were fed back to robust health. Both the criminal and damage cases are scheduled for trial at the November term of the Benton coun ty circuit court. Parker formerly resided near . Philomath where he and James occupied adjoining ranches, and where, according to all accounts the course of neighborly love never ran a bit smooth. The End of the World of troubles that robbed E H Wolfe oi Bear Grove, la, of all usefulness, came whep. he began taking Electric Bitters. He writes: "Two years ago Ridney trou ble caused me great suffering, which I would never have snrvived had I nottak eu Flectric Bitters. They also cured me of General Debility."
