SNAKE SAVES MAN'S MONEY ERROR CONVULSES ROOT Woman's Bust-for-Age Answer in Court Gets Laugh. ( WASHINGTON. - March - 4-While the evidence in the Ballinger-Plnchot in quiry' was dragging worse than usual Benator Sutherland, of Utah, engaged the attention of Senator Root, who sits next to him. ' "This correcting of testimony reminds me." said Senator Sutherland, and Sen ator Root leaned ci06er. "Lady witness." whispered Senator Sutherland, "testifying in court, wanted to correct testimony given in the morn ing. Said on taking the stand after lunch hour that she must make an im portant correction. Court 'drew' Its chairs forward. Jury expectant and at torneys alert. . "Witness bridled, blushing slightly and said gravely: This morning on taking the stand I was asked my age, and said that it was 38. Upon reflec tion I find that I inadvertently confused my age and my bust measure, and X now correct it. - I am 28 " Senator Root's face turned red. . he coughed and choked .and then gave it up and laughed with a chuckle which could be heard over the room, and veemed greatly to shock Senator Kel oid On . Stops Burglar, While In- r , fants -Aid in Alarm. PANCAKE CITY, Va., March 4. Re markable Intelligence on the part of a rattlesnake and 13 little ones saved Jim Pleasant's hoarded fortune from a burglar. About a year ago Jim was walking along, when he noticed a rat tlesnake' pinned under a heavy' rock. He started to kill the reptile with a stone, but something about its eyes caused him to hesitate. Not knowing what induced him to do so, he stooped and removed the rock from the snake. After lifting its head toward him, the . snake sourried away in the bushes. Jim had almost forgot ten the incident. Pleasant was awakened by a peculiar sound in his room. - The next, instant he recognized the noise as that of a rattlesnake, or rather of many rattle snakes. Sitting up in bed he saw a man, a burglar. - standing motionless in - his room. Springing out. he was further astonished to see a rattlesnake coiled so tightly about the man's legs that he could not move. Thirteen - little snakes,- offsprings of the older nes, had their tails out "the window rattling for a policeman. YOUTH ADOPTS HIS FATHER Captures Wealthy Pittsburger " and Secures Good Home. . V. . . NEW YORK, March 4. Judge Wilkin, certain prominent Pittsburger and his wife decided upon the adoption of a child, having none of their own, it was ar ranged by the Children's Aid Society to have ready for their- inspection several homeless little boys from which they might make a choice. Among them was one aged about 6 years, a wee bit of a waif who had just come to the society. There had not been time to provide suit able clothes for him. so that with sleeves too long, trousers too short, and hla other scant raiment generally ill-fitting, he was tne- least prepossessing one in the lot. When the Pittsburger looked about him, he whispered to his wife: "We don't want that one." and the couple aat down to consider the other lads. As they talked with Miss Chalfant, in charge of the so ciety's work, the rejected one eyed the Pittsburger,' who is a iarge, fine-looking man, and timidly edged alongside his chair. . - ' The conversation had proceeded some moments when the man glanced down and beheld a pudgy hand resting on his knee and a pair of big blue eyes gazing up at him .with frank admiration.' Rather reluctantly he picked up the ill-clothed littler figure, and sat him -on hte knee. Miss Chalfant was . called away at that moment, but as she passed -out she saw the big man s head .drawn , down--by chubby arm and heard a small voice saying wistfully: "I wish you was gonna be my papa. I like you." When Miss Chalfant returned a ' little later the man arose decisively. - 'Well,'- he said, "we have - decided to adopt this boy.'" "1 am afraid." replied Miss Chalfant, "you are a little tnt late "What " faltered the man. . , .'"Because," smiled :the. veteran: in child- lore, "I could see from the first he had decided to adopt you." l'oung Bride Dies at Vale.

At the Intersection of Grand avenue and Bast Stark street three modern brick and concrete buildings. 100x90, have been erected. trans forming that former unsightly place into an Important business center. -The building at the southwest corner of this Intersection lstofrte re modeled throughout and occupied as a department store, and the unoccupied quarter on the northeast corner Is to be occupied with a mod era brick structure, having been purchased by W. L. Morgan and his associates for J25.000 last year. 'A. quarter-block - adjoining the Morgan-Atchley building has just been sold to Woodard & Clarke for 930.000. $25,000 Each Cii&tomeF Shares the OUR ANNUAL SAVINGS IN INTEREST AND TAXES BECAUSE WE BUILT ON THE EAST SIDE The above picture and descriptive article,, together with still more said on the subject, aH of which appeared as a regular news item in The Oregonian -last Sunday, illustrates both pictorially and in . cold figures our economic position and shows what the business advantages which we possess by rea son of being on the East Side have done in building up this section of the city. The central build ing shown in the picture is the first building erected, the one in which we opened our furniture store, the one which made us famous as' the firm who collected rent while others paid rent. We were able to sell so low that in two years the building shown on the right was needed to house and take care of our business. Note the price of quarter blocks mentioned; then recall that when quarter block sales on the West Side are mentioned the figures are $350,000 and more. Then take your pencil and figure interest on the money and taxes on the differ- ence in values of the real estate and say whether we state the truth when we claim to save $25,000 annually, whereby we are enabled to sell the same quantity of furniture during the year at that much less than we could had we built on the West Side. And if we paid rent for as big a store on the West Side as we now own, how much would it be? Well, did you notice in the papers that a new drug store was paying $2000 a month for a small store? Think of this before you answer our question. Then tell us WHO CAN SELL THE CHEAPEST?
