Old White Matt, mongrel dog. had a bonnie day of it around the City Foundry Com pany's plant even if he didn't quite good humor, likes to tell this one on a certain' St. Louisan who 'served one term in congress: The new Congressman happened into a barber shop and sat down in the chair of a venerable negro barber. "Uncle," said the St. Louisan, "1 guess you've shaved a good many prominent men in your time, haven't you?" "Yes, suh, I has, suh," came the re ply. "I has shaved Senatuhs and cab inet membahs and Congressmen who have made history, suh. Why, suh. 1 has used this very razuh on President Grant, suh." ' "I suppose you got to know some of them pretty well?" asked the Congress man, much-impressed. "Yes, suh. Yes, suh. 1 did. suh. I was jes noticing something about you that's jes like President Grant, suh." "What is it,- uncle? The-shape of my head, I suppose," asked the flat tered St. Louisan. "No, suh. It am your breff."

TIMBER SAVING IS GREAT Statistics .Show Value of Fire Pre vention Methods. SALEM, Or., Feb. 15. (Special.) In the protection of privately owned tim ber in Oregon statistics given in the reports of State Forester Elliott indi cate that great progress has been made in the last six years. When the new forestry code was enacted, in 1911. and the compulsory fire patrol law. In 1913, a reduction in fire losses throughout the timbered sections at once was effected. In 1910 $1,640,997 worth of timber was de stroyed in Oregon. Last year it to taled only $9333. The total loss in the five years end ing.with the close of last year was $96, 620. This is less than 'one-sixteenth of the loss sustained from fires in 1910, the last year under the old system. . J. Sukaania, Mho Left Xissci Maru Kecently and Was Captured by . .Farmer, 'May Be Sent to His Ship at San Francisco. Penniless, but with an uncontrollable desire to see America and make his fortune, Fung Yin deserted his berth as. second cook aboard the American steamer Lyra here In Augusf, 4 1907, and yesterday was ordered deported to his native land, and his wealth amounts to close to $3000. His arrest a few months ago by R. P. Bonham,. Deputy United States Immigration Inspector, was kept quiet, and the Government set about locat ing witnesses who were aboard the Lyra when the Chinese was on the crew list. Ttiey were on hand yesterday be fore United States Commissioner Drake and proof was established of the iden tity of Fung Yin. ' When taken into custody the Chi nese had a draft in his possession for $2000, seven checks, each in the sum of $70, and a purse jammed with gold and currency. The money, he .said, was derived from ' cooking at various places, and once, he admitted, he was employed within two . blocks of the immigration station', passing there fre quently, but was not recognized in his tidy garb as an "Americanized" Celes tial, the Government men thinking of him only as a sailor. When the Lyra was here her master, feeling that the Chinese of the crew were entitled to stretch their legs ashore, tiled a bond with the Federal officers for their safe return, and it was not until the last day of the ves sel's visit that Fung Yin turned up missing. The ship was promptly as sessed $500, as is demanded in euch cases. ' J. Sakayama, a Nipponese who de serted from the Japanese steamer Nis sel vMaru at Martin's Bluff last week, only to be recapturetl by Jens Nichol son, a farmer living near there, may.be deported also. The Japanese was brought here yesterday and lodged in the County Jail. As the Nissei Maru cleared for the West Coast via San Francisco she is expected to be in the latter port by today, and, if possible, the Japanese will be sent to join the ship. Time lost in the river by the vessel because her master refused to load a shipment of powder is said to have cost fully $25,000, and Sakayama's exploit may add to the expense of her voyage.

Often there have been sundry scraps and bones for him from work men's lunch baskets; now and then a pat, but never such a profusion of scraps and pats as Tuesday -brought. The dog late Monday night exhibited a brand of intelligence tha in the eyes of the workmen at least, took him out of the mongrel class. Workmen were eating their mid night lunch in one of the plant's- of fices. Matt ran among them whining and crying, sniffing ad barking. In the middle of.it'all an A. D. T. messen ger burst into the plant, What's the matter with your watch man?" he asked. "He, hasn't rung in for three hours." Watchmen's clocks are connected with the main office of the A. D. T. service. -Where's Loney Hendricks?" the men asked. "Loney" was the watch man's name. Matt was is dog. At the sound of the name Loney Matt whined to attract the attention of the men. They followed the dog as he ran back and forth, crying and yelping. He led them to the first floor. . Loney's bodrf lay still and bloody. A bullet In his head had killed him. His own revolver lay near. Suicide was the verdict of the police. "If that dog could talk, we would know all about it," one patrolman said. ITT f J 1 f 1 -r;-:l i4, ljCl d - I Similarity in Breath.

BRITAIN GETS ADVICE Religious Revival Is Held War's . Only Good. CHICAG0AN GIVES VIEWS One 'Pastor Says Admiral IJeaUy's rica Is Only Solution Bisliop Anderson Favors Tlan to Bring About Vltimate Peace. CHICAGO, Feb. 11. The possibility ot bringing about peace as well as victory by a relig-ious revival, as suggested by Vice-Admiral Sir David Beatty in a letter to the Society for the Propaga tion of Christian Knowledge, was seen by many Chicago ministers as a new factor in the European struggle. Admiral Beatty, commander of the British .squadron which defeated the Germans in the North Sea, wrote: . "Surely Almighty God does not intend this war to be Just a hideous fracas or a blood ' drunken orgy. There must be a purpose in it; improvement must come out of it. . ' In "What Direction Is Askeit. "In what direction? , France already has shown us the way ant has risen, out of her ruined cities, with a revival of religion that is wonderful. Busnia has been welded into 5t whole, anu re ligion plays a great part. "ISneland still remains to be taken out of the stupor of self-satisfaction and complacency into which her flour ishing condition has steeped ner. un til she can be stirred out of this con dition, unti, a religious revival takes place, Just so long will the war con tinue. "When she 'can look on the future with humbler eyes And a prayer on her lir.s. then we can begin to count tne days toward the end. Your society is heiping to this end and bo is helping to bring the war to a successful end." Bishop Anderson Favors It. Bishon Charles P. Anderson, of the Episcopal Church, indorsed the Vice Admiral's idea. "Beliarious inspiration is essential to all successes and a sweeping religious revival would bring a speedy end to the war," he said. Rabbi -Joseph Stolz, of Isaiah fre formed) Temple, declared religion could have' prevented the war, nd that if the people of Europe had thought of praying before the struggle started a sweeping religious revival would have made the present state of affairs im possible. "I am quite sure tnat uod does noi want war," he said. 'Teace is what he desires on earth." The Bev. C. J. Quille likewise de clared the Admiral's prayer proposal seemed to him the only solution of the war. " t know from private sources tnat what Admiral Beatty says about France is not -exaggerated. Churches in France that were deserted before the war are filled now. A religious revival seems STOPS ANY COLD IN A FEW HOURS "Pape's Cold Compound" Opens Clogged Nose and Head and Ends Orippc.

Mr. I'ugh, who is a wealthy man, and a Republican leader, says the ship has cost him les than Jlon.nOH to build, and that the United States Gov ernment probably can build one even more cheaply.
