Insect Enjoys Whirl of Pleasure in Watch Truth fnl Man Inaintn othlng Waa Wrong; With 91 Timepiece. THEY had been discussing; watches, and the Truthful Man insisted that his dollar timepiece was as good as any that was made. One of his friends re minded him that only a few days be fore he had been complaining that his watch had gained an hour in the morn ing, and then lost 15 minutes each hour In the afternoon. "I know it did," said the Truthful Man, "but I've since found out why. Over at the hotel where I am staying the woodwork .is just about honey combed by little red ants. The building is all concrete, but these pests must have been in some of the boards used in the doors and window sills, and they have multiplied and spread all over the place. They are " "What has that got to do with watches," asked the Fat Man. "Wait a minute and you'll see," said the Truthful Man. "Every night when I go to bed I hang my watch on a hook in the door, so I can see it from my bed, and so I won't hear it tick. Well, yesterday, after my watch hadT been going crazy for a couple of days, I took It out of my pocket to look at it, and there was one of those pesky red ants crawling around on the dial, under the glass. I pried the front of the watch open, shook the ant off, and ever since the watch has been running all right. "Now, I think that ant must have crawled from the door to the watch, got inside through the stem winder, and after riding around on the wheels for a couple of days and disarranging the interior economy of my timepiece, finally crawled out through the second hand hole, and so got upon the dial; because the watch has been keeping time ever since." And then his friends looked at him reproachfully, and silently stole away. Nevertheless, this is a true story. FINE FOOD LAW VIOLATORS Company Will Discontinue Sale of Cereal and Change Flour Brand. Pleading guilty to violating the pure food laws, the Acme Mills Company, of Portland, was fined $25 and costs yes terday in two cases filed by' United States District Attorney McCourt The defendants were charged with advertising and selling a breakfast food and a brand of flour said to con tain an unusually large percentage of gluten and to be devoid of many starch elements. As such it was recommend ed to sufferers from diabetes. An In vestigation by chemists revealed an unusually large ' percentage of starch and no more gluten than is contained in ordinary wheat products. Starch is injurious to diabetes Invalids. The Acme Company has promised to dis continue manufacturing the breakfast food, and will change the brand on the flour so that it will state the facts. IilQCOK SELLER SURRENDERS Siletz Violator Pays Fine and Empties Barrels Into Stream. Having for months defied both the Federal and state authorities to inter fere with his sale of liquor in a dug out on patented land within the Siletz Indian Reservation, John T. Dickens has surrendered and poured his fire water into a nearby stream. The case of Dickens was solved when Assistant United States Attorney Wyatt secured an appointment as deputy dis trict attorney for Lincoln County and filed five indictments against the liquor seller. The Government could not reach the violator of the law because his dug out was on deeded land, and Dickens operated with the advice of Attorney George Brownell, to the effect that state authorities could not reach the case because the land was within the boundaries of the Indian reservation. The courts of Lincoln County as sumed jurisdiction after the case had been presented by Mr. Wyatt, fining Dickens $25 and costs in one case and reserving sentence in the others.

CONTRACT UP TO COUNCIL City Engineer Believes City Should Not Pay $1.25 Extra for Fancy Same of Cement Paving. Makes Offer to Committee. Granitoid Is the name of a new pave ment which is to be laid on Russell street, between Delay and Gantenbein, if the action of the street committee of the City Council is followed. The paving will cost not to exceed $2.50 a yard, according to the declara tion of Councilman Menefee. who stat ed to the members of the committee at the meeting yesterday that he under stands it to be better than vitrified brick and that it will stand heavy traffic well. "If you want to lay concrete, I will go out and lay It for you and not charge anything extra for the fancy name," said City Engineer Morris, who appeared to be skeptical. City Can Save Money. Mr. Morris was asked his opinion of the new pavement, and said it "is just a plain concrete pavement, and the city can lay It Just as good and much cheaper than the Granitoid company can." "There is getting -to be a good deal of this mysterious pavement," re marked Councilman Belding. "Mas querading under some fancy name, it is nothing but concrete, and can be laid for $1.25 a yard. You take Has sam, for example; we pay $1.75 for that, and I am told it can be laid at a fair profit for $1.25 a yard." Councilman Annand said that, if the committee wished to try the new pave ment, he thought Russell street would be a good place for it, and Councilman Menefee moved the adoption of two lyon canceUng proceeding for another kind of pavement and th other one callng for Granitoid. These were adopted. William M. Pindell. of Chicago, rep resenting the Rudolph S. Blome Com pany, which lays the Granitoid pave ments throughout the country, was then granted the courtesy of the floor and said that his company is ready to operate extensively in Portland: that It Is taking contracts continually in other Northwest cities, and wants to enter into competition here. First Work to Be Criterion. There is much paving to be done In Portland this coming Summer, and with the advent into the city of the new company it is possible that the mileage sought to be covered will be greater. It will depend somewhat upon the results of the first street to be laid. If it wears well, it is probable that the company will get other work. No company Is bidding on vitrified brick here since the Denny Clay & Iron Company, of Seattle, was driven from the field by competitors during the last part of the Lane administra tion.

GOOD THINGS IN PORTLAND MARKETS THERE is not much encouragement for the housekeeper in the mar kets this week, prices remaining at the same general level. Smelt continues to be cheap and plenti ful, averaging 6 pounds for a quarter. But smelt, delicious though they are, and capable of many variations, can appear at comparatively few meals, out of the "weekly twenty-one" that some house wives find a burden. Other fish are reasonably plentiful. Halibut is still rather more costly than usual at 15 to 20 cents a pound. Chinook salmon costs about 25 cents and steel head salmon 12V4 to 15 cents. There are particularly fine prawns Just now at SO cents, and good shrimps at 20 cents a pound. Frog legs and mussels are new comers In the market this week, cost ing 40 cents a dozen and 10 cents a pound, respectively. Do you know the classic recipe for "Sole a la Normande" the special dis tinction and pride of the restaurant Marquery in Paris? "Take your sole, lay it, with endearing, loverlike carees, in" an earthen dish, with butter for Its only companion. At the same time, In sympathetic saucepan, lay mussels and let each rejoice in the so ciety of a stimulating mushroom. When almost done make of them a garland round the expectant sole. Cover their se ductive beauty with a rich, white sauce. Rekindle their passion in the oven, and serve immediately and hot. Joy is the result; pure, uncontaminated joy." If in need of joy these rainy days, you might try the above. I can't guarantee the result, but I know you can get good "expectant sole" Just now at 10 to 15 cents a pound. Other available fish are red-snapper, black cod and spotted croppies at about cents a pound, with herring, perch and flounder at 10 cents. Poultry continues to be scarce and high. Turkey 35 cents, ducks 30 cents, goose and chicken about 25 cents a pound. Wild geese are to be had at $1 each. The best eggs still cost from 30 to 35 cents a dozen; and butter prices are practically the same as last week. In the vegetable market Romalne lettuce is something of a novelty, and there are "specials" In green peppers at 15 cents each. Artichokes are slightly lower in price. There are good hot-house cucum bers and tomatoes. Beans and peas are to be seen, but cost 40 and 35 cents, re spectively. Seasonable salad is found In the' nicely blanched chicory and increasingly good head-lettuce. Brussels sprouts are getting cheaper. Cauliflower is still excellent. New French carrots and small rutabagas are coming in, as well as fresh spinach. radishes and young onions. Oranges and grape-fruit divide the honors in the fruit market. The former cost 15 to 50 cents a dozen, the latter sell at 5 to 15 cents each. There are apples, of course, and a little rhubarb, a few im ported grapes at about 40 cents a pound, and Winter pears at 30 to 40 cents a dozen. These, with nuts, which, by the way, are lower in price with the advancing season, and the faithful banana, exhaust the pres ent possibilities of the fruit stand. A Saying by Abraham Lincoln. THE DALLES. Or., Feb. 17. (To the Ed itor.) In a. letter to the London Spectator. noted recently In The Oregonian, Herbert W. Horwlll attributes to P. T. Barnum Lincoln's famous aayinjr. "You can fool some of the people all the time and all the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time." The undersigned has only to say that if Mr. Spofford's Inquiries, as quoted by Mr. (Horwlll. "led him to the conclusion that the oricinntor of this fanwin ntenoe was Crisp, Fluffy Bits OF FOOD "With a fascinating "toastie" flavour Post Toasties "The Memory Lingers" Ask Groter.

We are asking $450 per lot, full 50 ifoot lots, and you cannot get as good value nothing like as good value in any other por tion of the city. But the fu ture! Consider that Irvington Park is being already ap proached by the expansion of the -best neighborhoods and highest -priced residence prop erty east of the Willamette. IjOts almost at the doors of Irvington Park thtft were held but a short time ago at $1500 are now selling at $:)0O; quar ter blocks valued but recently at $2000 or $-SOOO are now held at $70OO, $rooo and as high as $10.O0O.

The maxim in the man's subcon sciousness was the one on which Barnum based his show business: "The American people like to toe hum-bugged." That the saying in question should be so widely attributed to a. man whose public life and i utterances are within the memory of men now living is In itself significant, and is not to be set aside because some brainy folks 'never knew he said it." The utter ance itself bears the hallmarks of Lincoln's ability to put old truths in new light. It expresses with rude sublimity his Implicit belief in the Intelligence and sovereignty of the people.
