PRESIDENT OF OREGON FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS WHO PRESIDED AT STATE BOARD MEETING YESTERDAY. ' Jj tff might grow fat and then he intended to eat us." "Why did you not hold the horse?" asked the stranger. "Why did you let him carry you into the forest?" "We could not hold him," replied one of the youths, "and we did not think to take a bridle as you did. He dashed away with us and when he reached the castle he obeyed the giant and brought us here behind the castle and threw us into a hole which had been made to receive us. The giant sends this horse throgh the country to gather youths from each place that he visits." When they went to the front of the castle the giant had disappeared. "Ho has run away," said the stranger, "but his power is gone, for I have killed the. dragon and I have tamed his white horse. It was as you thought. If you had thrown a bridle over his head you could have tamed him as I have. Everyone in the town had given up the stranger, and thought he had fared as the others, but when they saw him and with him the seven youths they could not say enough in his praise. "All I ask is the white horse." he said. "I have been looking for one to drive with my black horse." When the horses were side by. side they were of the same height, and the town people were glad to have him take the horse that had caused so much' trouble. (Cojiyrtphl, 191t, by the McClure News paper Syndicate. New York Cit'. The AVhlte Horae. IN a town across the seas, which bordered on a forest, the people were frightened by seeing a very large ! white horse, with flying tail and mane, dash through the streets and across the fields and gardens, trampling the vege tables or whatever grew in his path. After a while soras of the young men in town decided to put an end to his visits by catching him, but ho was no sooner caught and mounted than he dashed away with his rider into the forest, until seven young men had been carried into the forest and never returned. At last the people were filled with terror and the burgomaster of the town offered a large bag of gold to the one that should capture the white horse find hold him. One day a horseman rode through on a beautiful black horse, and hearing the story of the white horse he vol unteered his services. The people warned him of the fate of the seven young men, but when night came he rode to the edge of the forest and waited. The white horse came out, and he Jet him go on his wild dash and waited for his return, and when he entered the forest he caught at the flowing mane and mounted him. The white horse plunged and pranced, but the stranger held him, and, taking the bridle from his black horse, he threw it over the head of the white horse and rode into the forest. The white horse knew that a master hand held him now, and he walked along quietly until he came to a very large tree, and there he stopped and knocked three times with his hoof. From the top of the tree came a voice, saying: "Enter," and the tree opened and the horse and rider en tered. White horse carried his rider along a dark road, and after riding a long distance the stranger found himself in front of a castle, and out of the tower came a voice, asking: "Have you brought another?" The stranger looked up . and saw a large head looking at him with fiery eyes. "Run with him, white horse," commanded the voice, but the stranger held ' the reins tight, and the white horse did not move.- ' The castle door opened, and out came a giant so tall that he reached the top of the castle. "Who are you that holds my white horse in check?" he asked. "Where are the seven youths that you and your white horse carried away?" asked the stranger. The giant laughed and the horse trembled, but his rider patted him, and he grew quiet. The stranger raised his sword and struck at the giant's arm, and it fell limp at his side. The giant raised his other arm- and the stranger struck at that. "Now show me where the seven youths are kept," he said to white horse. The horse walked back of the castle and there the stranger saw seven rocks in a row and a dragon watch ing them. The stranger drew his sword and after a hard battle he slew the dragon. The rocks began to move, and from a cave under each rock came a youth. They wer very fat and could hardly walk. ' "You have saved u.." they said to the stranger. "The giant was fatten ing us for his feast. We were given all tinds of nice things to eat that .we GENERAL'S NEPHEW HERE Local Photographer Is Relative of John. J. Pershing. General John J. Pershing, who is now leading the American troops into Mexico in pursuit of Villa, is a nephew of E. Roscoe Pershin, Portland photog rapher, with offices in the Elks' build ing. The difference in the spelling cf the name is caused by the different spelling adopted by different members of the family after coming to this country. At the time the family came to America from Al6ace the name was spelled "Pfoersching." The sons here changed the spelling to Pershin, and la ter one member of the family annexed the letter "g." . has been boosted sky-high by the war, and is getting very scarce at any price.

Jitney Man I Arrested When He Can't Retora Young Woman's Watch Because SpouKe Holds It. THE web of his deception entangled F. O. Farley, a jitney driver, of Vancouver, Wash., according to the po lice. He was arrested on the complaint of Myrtle May Fox. of Portland, charged with the theft of her watch, valued at $25. It is related that Farley met Miss Fox, and became a frequent guest at her home. One evening, so the story goes, the infatuated Farley picked up the young lady's watch and thrust it in his pocket, as a Jest. He carried the little timepiece home with him. True to tradition Mrs. Farley ex plored her lord's pockets. She de manded an explanation concerning the lady's watch she discovered. Her spouse would give none. "Very well," Mrs. Farley is reported to have said, "I'll keep it until you tell me." Several days ago Miss Fox's brother met Farley on the street. He demanded the return of his sister's watch, a re quest with which the unhappy Jitney driver could not comply. Hence his arrest.
