Aunt Saio-t's Treat. "Aunt Sally,"
colored, treated the prisoners -working at
the rockplle to a genuine Surprise Monday
afternoon, In the shape of an appetizing
dinner. Earlier In the day she asked Po
liceman "Warner, -who Is in charge of the
rockplle. if the police officials would have
any objection to "her supplying "the gang"
-with lunch. "Certainly not," replied
"Warner. "Bring" it along about 3 o'clock."
Punctual to the minute Aunt Sally, -who
is a cook by occupation, hobbled along
on her crutch, bringing a well-cooked din
ner; with her, to the great delight of the
eight hobos who were waiting. A cruel
rumor had spread that the whole affair
was a "Josh" on the part of the venerable
entertainer, and Sally was applauded
when she came around. "Heah yah, chil-
lun," she announced, laying down her
basket of good things. "Hope yah teeth
ah sha'p." The menu consisted of ham
fihankE, potatoes, cabbage, and corn
bread. Plates, knives and forks for eight
were placed la position, and the manner
in which those eight prisoners-inade the
dainties disappear was a caution. Every
morsel of bread and every bit .of stew re
ceived full justice. Sally waB thanked
over and over again, and she said: "It's
nuthln', boys. A'se glad to feed yoV
"When the joyful eight returned to the city
jail the spokesman said: "We don't want
any prison fare today. No, sir. No more
Mulligan stew for me, after eatln' Aunt
Sally's stuff."
All Over a Pair op Boots. A pair
of boots were Introduced as- evidence in
a case heard yesterday in the Municipal
Court, and were marked "Exhibit No. 1"
In the case where B. Brown, a muscular
looking white man, was accused of steal
ing a pair of boots from Edward Morton,
colored. "I room at a rooming-house at
First and Davis streets," stated Morton.
"When I awoke last Saturday morning 1
found a pair of worn-out boots under my
bed, and I saw Brown seated on the third
bed from me wearing .my boots." "They
are mine. I bought them," roared Brown.
"They are too big for you," politely
answered Morton. "What size do I take?
I wear size eight and a half. I can wear
eights, but I've got corns, and I've got
some consideration for my corns, though
they have none for me" "Really, we
can't accept evidence about your corns,"
remonstrated Judge Cameron. "I bought
-these boots three months ago," protested
Brown. "I got them in a Third-street
store." "They do not appear to have been
worn three months," observed the Judge,
eyeing Brown's boots. Brown indignant
ly took off one boot, saying, "There, your
I"onor. It's true the boots are not much
worn out, but I wear them only on Sun
days. I wear other, cheaper boots on
week days." The case was continued un
til the police have an opportunity to try
to find the dealer who sold the boots to
Brown.
Called His Mother Names. Edward
C. James, about 21 years old, was before
Municipal 'Judge- Cameron yesterday,
chaiged with using oad language toward
his mother, iMrs. Mary James. The lat
ter testified that her son called her ann
her husband names, and was very abusive
generally. "I cannot have him around the
house any more," protested Mrs. James.
"On one occasion he cut me on the hsjid
with a pair of scissors. He has been vary
violent lately, and I blame his h&Tlts
played football on Sunday for the chenge
in his conduct." "Football has not got
anything to do with It," protested the ac
cused son. "I work at a steam-hammer
when I do work, but I've done nothing
in that line for two months, as I can't
get work" "Did you call your mother
names," interrupted the Judge. "Well, she
called me names first, and I called her
names in return," explained the boy.
"Your sentence will "be 30 days in jail,"
stated the Judge. "When you are ready
to beg your mother's pardon you can let
me know, and we may then set you at
liberty. Now, before you go to Jail have
you anything further to say. In explana
tion? Are you not sorry?" "I am no more
to blame than my mother is," persisted
the boy, doggedly. "The rockplle would
probably do this boy some good," re
marked Deputy City Attorney Davis.
New Members for Board of Trade.
The Board of Trade Is gathering new
members rapidly. About 23 have joined in
the past week. Secretary Moore has af
fairs well in. hand, and the board has en
tered upon a new era of usefulness. One
of the projects which the board has un
der its wing is the enlargement of a big
yeast factory on the East Side. The
.present enterprise will probably be en
larged Into an important industry of the
city. The Idleman coal property at Castle
Rock is being Investigated by an. Eastern
man, for whom a report Is being pre
pared. A factory for making threshers
and headers Is proposed for this city.
Men at Dayton, Wash., have offered to
put up $10,000.
Arts and Crafts Exhibit. An exhibit
of arts and crafts will be held in Library
Hall February 6-7, afternoon and evening,
by the Daughters ott the American Revo
lution. The proceeds are to go to the
Continental Hall, soon to be erected in
Washington, D. C, in memory of the
heroes of the Revolution. The committee
hopes to make this a unique and interest
ing exhibit. It includes everything in
art, hand work of all kinds', either ancient
or modern, pictures, photographs, needle
work, Indian baskets and curios. Any
one having articles of interest they are
willing to loan for this exhibit will con
fer a favor by notifying any member or
the committee. Jane C. Card, chairman.
How Game Birds Stand Cold. There
Is much speculation as to the effect of
the .cold weather on quail and pheasants.
It is maintained by some persons that
the cold snap was very hard on wild
birds. A party of duck hunters that went
to Columbia Slough Sunday found swal
lows In the road dormant from cold. The
birds were picked up by the hunters' dog.
Ai the slough many more were found. A
cftck of wheat was opened and dlstrib-rt-d
over the ground and birds collected
" am far and near to feed.
Banquet on Lincoln's Birthday. The
r-anquct to be given at the Hotel Portland
en the anniversary of Lincoln's birthday,

like manner birthdays of other famous
Americans. Following the Lincoln day
dinner the next event will be in honor of

Clean Off Your "Walks. An Eastern
man, who lost an hour or two of useful
time yesterday falling down on the ice
veneered sidewalks around town, said that
In the city he hallB from a man who does
not clean off his walks in the Winter
time is arrested and thrown Into a deep,
dark dungeon, where he is kept tiU his
wife, children, the servant girl, the dog,
or some other member of the family, se
cures his liberty by cleaning off the
walk. A little salt, this man points out,
will melt a snow like the bright and
sparkling sunshine, and can be applied at
small expense. He says that if Portrand
ers would stop figuring how many 25-cent
cigars a man can smoke whose total ex
penditures must be limited to 132 07 a
week, and give a little thought to this
freezing subject, there would be less pro
fanity in Portland and a consequent sav
ing to the taxpayers of preachers' sal
aries. R. W. Mitchell Back From Ontario.
Colonel Robert W. Mitchell returned last
night from a vist to Ontario and towns
in Eastern Oregon, and expressed himself
as highly pleased with the indications of
prosperity in that part of the state. In
Ontario, the Colonel was surprised to find
the main street of the town lighted with
natural gas, which, he afterward learned,
was abundant in the region. The gas.
Colonel Mitchell says, Is of great com
mercial value, and will In the course of
years give Ontario many of the benefits
which Pittsburg, Pa., now enjoys. Speak
ing of Ontario, Colonel Mitchell said that
during the last three years two banks and
five mercantile houses have been estab
lished and three churches built. The
profits of the mercantile houses amount
to 550,000 yearly, and the shipments of
cattle, sheep and wool, he says, reach in
the aggregate 5300,000.
Signor Liberati Herb. Sign or E. A.
Liberatl, who is well known to Portland
lovers of music, who remember the splen
did band of which he is the leader, is
visiting the Pacific Coast for recreation
and rest from last season's work. Signor
Liberati spent last Winter In Europe, but
he says he prefers America, and in par
ticular that part of it where he has "been
before. In the 15 weeks he was abroad
he met but few people he knew. "Here I
have many friends," he says, and the
contrast pleases- him. Liberati and his
band may "appear here in concert during
the coming season. For five years past
they have played at a Summer resort op
posite Philadelphia, on the Delaware
River. Signor Liberati will leave tonight,
and will return directly to New York,
where he will remain until Spring.

BOOMINGTHE GREAT FAIR
ALBERT TOZIER RETURXS FROM A
TRIP OF EXPLORATION.
NatioHHl Editorial Association, of
Wkich He Is President, Will Kelp
Portland's '05 CcatcaHlal.
Albert Tozier, president of the National
Editorial Association, has returned from
Hot Springs, Ark., where the executive
committee met recently to arrange for
tho coming session of the association,
which will assemble In Hot Springs April
15, and will be In session for five days.
During his absence Mr. Tozier visited sev
eral cities in the Middle West, and gave
much publicity to the Lewis and Clark
Centennial plans. Mrf Tozier said that
he found newspapere and people gener
ally anxious to learn of the Portland Ex
position, and he distributed a consider
able amount of literature, describing the
resources of the state. Copies of the New
Year's edition of The Oregonlan, which
Mr. Tozier took East with him. were
eagerly sought, and Mr. Tozier says that
a number of Inquiries concerning the re-
sources of the state will come from Inter
ested readers of the information compiled
and published in the edition. Mr. Tozier.
is of opinion that it would be an excellent
thing for the Portland Exposition if the
St. Louis show is postponed until 1904. In
that case the Midway shows and exhibit
ors will store their animals and exhibits
here during the Winter, thus bringing a
considerable volume of business- that
would otherwise go elsewhere.
"TJJe larger the exhibit from Oregon at
St. Louis, the greater will be results both
direct and indirect," said Mr. Tozier yes
terday. "Not only will Missouri recipro
cate with a splendid exhibit at the Lewis
and Clark Exposition, but people will
learn of Oregon's resources while they are
discussing the exposition in 1905. I called
at the headquarters of the World's Fair
Commissioners in St. Louis, and found
everybody busy. I was well received by
Governor Francis, Mark Bennltt and oth
ers, who took me through the several de
partnients and explained their system of
work, which is similar to that followed
by the World's Fair Trans-MlssIsslppl
and Buffalo boards. Numerous inquiries
were made concerning the progress of our
own exposition. It was my pleasure to
be one of the Invited guests to the recep
tion to Miss Helen Gould by the World'a
Fair management. By her noble philan
thropy and the excellent use she has made
of the vast fortune she inherited. Miss
Gould has endeared herself lo the' Ameri
can people.
"The 20.000 newspapers represented In
the Nationat Editorial Association are
pledged fb aid through their columns the
Portland Exposition, and this will mean
a publicity that could not be obtained
through the expenditure of millions In
straight advertising. It will be the edi
torial expressions of the members, and
will carry convincing weight. At our ex
ecutive committee meeting Colonel B. B.
Herbert, editor of the National Printer
Journalist, the official publication of the
association, urged the members to do all
In their power to further the Interests of
the Lewis and Clark Centennial, and the
suggestion met with hearty response. It
was Colonel Herbert who, at a public
meeting held in Portland April IS, 1899,
and reported in The Oregonlan the morn
ing following, strongly advocated holding
an exposition In this city, and assured
our citizens that the National Editorial
Association would be pleased to help. It
was that speech of Colonel Herbert and
the second It received from Dan McAllen,
that has had as much to do with starting
the work as has any other movement.
The enthusiastic manner in which H. W.
Corbett has taken hold of the matter and
the encouragement given It by The Ore
gonlan receive favorable mention every
where." Mr. Tozier and the delegates to the Na
tional Editorial Association from the Pa
cific Northwest will meet In Portland and
proceed East In a body as far as St.
Louis, where other Western delegates will
join the party. Mr. Tozier will see to it
that the convention is liberally supplied
with Oregon literature. He is a strong
advocate of tho substantial returns re
ceived from distribution of such pamph
lets as the Oregon Handbook, Issued by
The Oregonlan, and urges all travelers to
take with them a quantity of this class

CARE OF CHILDS THROAT.
Dr. French Lectures Before Heme
Deportment of "Woman's Clab.
At a meeting of the home department
of the Woman's Club, in the Selling
Hlrsch building, yesterday afternoon, an
Interesting paper on. the care of the
throat of the child was read by Dr. Gert
rude French. She dwelt upon the fact
that many nose and throat specialists are
kept busy nowadays, but largely with
adults, most of the difficulty arising from
the neglect shown those organs during
childhood.
"The term 'weak lungs' Is heard with
dread by all," she said, "but too few know
that the inspired air should be prepared
for the lungs by the nose, whnse chief
duty is to regulate the temperature and
moisture of the Inspired air. Enlarged
tonsils frequently prevent nasal respira
tion; the child becomes a mouth-breather,
which leads to Innumerable troubles. Re
cause of Inability to breathe through the
nose he can no longer chew his food prop
erly, but bolts It In a hurry, that his
mouth may be free for breathing. This
In itself gives rise to two difficulties:
"First, tho stomach must attempt to do
the mouth's work, something for which
It was- not created, and the food Is not
assimilated; hence the nourishment is
inadequate to tho body's demand. Not
only this but the improperly prepared food
acts as an irritant and, therefore, tends
to become a destructive agent.
"Secondly, the supply of air Is insuttl
clent; let us notice wluU this- means. The
blood is the fluid carrying 4he building
material of the body to Its several tis
sues; passing through the lungs it gives
up the carbonic acid gas obtained from
the tissues as waste, and takes up oxy
gen from the air. Oxygen Is necessary to
life. Indeed, in critical moments life is
sometimes saved by allowing the patient
to breathe pure oxygen. Carbonic acid
gas is a poison, and its retention or ac
cumulation in the system Is a serious
matter.
"If the proper amount of oxygen is not
obtained the vitality is lowered, the child
becomes thin and weak, the resistance to
disease diminished, and, although the
child may not be actually sick, he is
never well. This is another reason why
an infectious disease is readily contracted.
"The remedy for these difficulties is al
most without exception surgical, supple
mented when needed by proper local and
constitutional treatment. Children con
stantly taking cold should be taken to a
d6ctor, for either they are In need of
medicine or the mother in need of In
struction In regard to the care and cloth
ing of them."
Dr. French then asked that the women
present should use their influence to stop
the common practice of frightening the
children by threatening them with the
doctor. "Many times the child Is so ter
rorized," she continued, "that the doctor
cannot obtain cclfrrtC"inf6rmatIon of the
patient's condition, because he cannot
properly examine him. onesty is the
beit policy In dealing with children, as
with grown-up people. It is not necessary
to teach a child that -'the doctor Is not go
ing to hurt him; but that It is necessary
sometimes to inflict a hurt for the mo
ment, in order to help the child in the
end."

Chase, who will report at the next meeting
of the board.
The improvement of Jefferson street,
from Front street to the City Park, which
was proposed by Mr. Williams at a pre
vious meeting, was brought up by Mr.
Chase. Mr. Chase had looked into the
matter, and found that a stone-block pave
ment on a macadam foundation, would
cost about $1600 a block. A concrete
foundation would cost about 90 cents per
yard. Cement grouting would prevent
the chipping of the blocks, but would ren-
Sluggish
Intellect
CAUSED BY
COFFEE.
"Careful inquiry in the school-
'room developed the fact that
those children who are habitu
ally given coffee to drink have
sallow complexions, are nervous,
more or less irritable, and very
sluggish intellect, or an over
wrought and abnormal imagina
tion, results of extreme nervous
ness. My own experience with
coffee-drinking kept me afflicted
for some years with severe and
constant .headaches, with ex
treme nervousness at times.
"I was compelled to abandon
coffee altogether, and was
quickly relieved of the head
aches and other troubles. I was
fortunate enough to secure a
package of Postum Food Coffee,
but .my first attempt at making
it was a failure. After another
trial and following directions
(which are very easy, by the
way), I secured a delicious
drink, far superior, in my mind,
to coffee. I have continued to
use it from the start, and my
improvement has been steady,
with no ill effects at all."

der the pavement rather slippery. Jeffer
son street might, he said, be redressed
with macadam and a stone gutter laid.
The matter was discussed by the board,
but no action was taken.
The improvement of Washington street
was discussed in an informal way by
Mayor Rowe and Messrs. Williams, Chase,
Maxwell and MacMaster. It was sug
gested that a new asphalt pavement be
laid on certain parts of the thoroughfare.
.which are sadly in need of Improvement,
but the matter was left for a future raeeu.
ing to act upon.

When such world-renowned artists as
Josef Hoftnann come to Portland, the
music-loving public should avail Itself
of the opportunity of hearing one of the
greatest performers of the day on the
pianoforte. Paderewski, Rosenthal and
Godowsky have all favored this city in
their concert tours, and now comes a
younger man Hoftnann who, after his
phenomenal success In Europe, has been
received In New York and other Eastern
cities with more enthusiasm than has yet
been accorded any of the other great art
ists. Mr. Hoftnann uses the

1884 There is
1902 Something :
in a Name
When the name stands for achieve
ment. To deny this means to place
the pretenders and failures of his
tory on an equality with the great
Generals, statesmen, jurists, doctors
and scientists who have made the
world what it is today. The name
of the Portland Optical Institute
stands for nearly IS years of ac
complished facts. It stands for over
22.000 pair of eyes correctly fitted
and restored to normal vi3lon. It
stands for the confidence of thou
sands of patrons throughout the
Northwest. It stands for the abso-
lute fulfillment of every promise
made. It stands for proved knowl
edge of the human eye. Surely
such a reputation means more than
baseless promises.
