MEDIEVAL BARON'S WAYS Breakfast Was a Formidable Affair In the Thirteenth Century. G G. Coultnn. In Harper's Majraslne. From the Thirteenth Century at least however ther may have done In earlier times), the English nobility were not ashamed to organise their business and tnrlr households on strict business prin ciples. Still greater was the need of order in this Sixteenth Century, when the feudal nobl!lty were often poorer than the rapidly growing merchant class, and when social and religious revolution was already In the air. Tha minuteness of the Percy household regulations is simply astounding. Let us take breakfast as an example. A gen eration or two befora this, breakfast had hardly counted aa a meal: when recognized at all. It waa simple a snack. Just a mouthful and a elngle draught to wash It down, which the hardy man dis dained as In our daya he disdains after noon tea. E t manners were now changed: more than four pairs are devoted to a specification of the Percy breakfast, be ginning; "This Is the order of sll such breakfasts as shall be allowed daily in my lord s house every I.ent e e e cn Sunday I Monday). Tuesday. Thurs riny and Saturday, except my lord's children, which shall have breakfast eery day In tha week.'

My Lord Percy and Master Percy, aged about 10 and 8. had "half a loaf of household bread, a manchet. a bottle of beer, a dish of butter, a piece of salt fish, a dish of sprats, or three white herrings." Then comes a "breakfast for the nurcy for my Lady Margaret and Master In gram Percy: A manchet. a quart of beer, a dish of butter, a piece of salt flah. a dish of sprats or three white herring." And so on. through "break fast for my lord's brethren and head of ficers of household." "Breakfast for two messes of gentlemen ' th' chapel and a mess of children." down to the porter's lodge and tha stable. It may be as well to explain that the trenches were slices of bread, used by the upper rlassea aa dishes for their mest. and given to the poor afterward: that a manchet was a loaf of fine bread, and a bottle contained half a gallon. Tha regular allowance waa thua one quart of liquor per person. WORD RKCKIVKD OF PASSING OF FAMOUS COACH. Portland Tram Win Vnder Tute lage of Famous Instructor End Conies at Connecticut Home.

Man Who Spreads False Alarm Is Captured as He Calmly Sits at Cafe in Nearby Town.. PARIS. Nov. S (Special.) Tremend ous waa the excitement when a stranger arrived at a small country town and an nounced the appearance of a number of aviators on their aeroplanes for the fol lowing day. The citlxens were over Joyed at the honor which was about to be paid to their town, and at the fame, to which It and they would attain In the world. The local Innkeeper was full of attention for the visitor, who had or dered a colossal banquet for the gallant aviators, and an aerodrome having been Improvised, a score of workmen were soon busily engaged In putting up posts and flags. When the next day dawned the little town, was in a stir. The nows had spread through the district and host of vilagers were trudging in to swell the ranks of the spectators, as the aviators were to arrive at 9. - An hour before the appointed time, however, the stranger suddenly discov ered that he wanted something which could only be procured at a larger town a little way off, so away he sped on bis bicycle, promising to be back again In good time to receive the aviators. Nine o'clock struck, and there was not a sign of htm or of the flyers, and as the hours rolled by everybody grew uneasy. At last the citlxens realised that they had been hoaxed. Gendarmes were sent In pursuit and the man was eventually found calmly seated outside a cafe at a rather remote village. He was arrested, handcuffed, and brought back to the little town to meet with a reception very different from that which had been accorded to him on the previous day.

Kr, recruited levies for both the Union and Confederate causes, and after the war waa over the veterans of both sides used to sit In the glow of the corner grocery store fire and rehearse tales of the great conflict. Nlglit after night they would convene here to ex putlute on the dreadful battle scenes of which they were eyewttnese-ea. The ad ventures were aglow with romance, and many a hearty laugh rang out over scenes that were Jum a bit exaggerted as to the carnage, or slightly modified In the retelling. There was one man who always re mained silent, and had an annoying way of seeming bored when they launched Into their best yarns. Finally, they could stand the prceeure no longer; they asked him why It was that he had nothing to say. "Warn't yuh In the war?" they demanded. "Yesslr." he nodded sagely; "I was." "What war? "Mexican." "Good! tho crowd exclaimed In chorus. 'Now we'll have something new a regu lar rousing story." John puckered his mouth, shifted his kneeet and scratched his head; he tried to recall some scene of carnage that would thrill with the days of CT.apultepec or of General Scott storming the Molino del Rey. Then he shifted hi!" quid to the other side of his Jaw, snd said: "Well. I want to tell you feller that In the Mexican War we had some mighty great experiences.

The Oregon Agricultural College team defeated the Whitman football aggre gation here today by a score of to 0. The points were made In the second quarter, when Enberg got the ball on Whitman's 3-yard line, after Cox had failed to handle Keek's punt, and car ried it over the 'goal line, and a few minutes later when Keck scored a field klclf from Whitman's 20-yard line.' From then on, Oregon played a defen sive game. '-he score well Indicates the com parative strength of the teams. The Missionariea had the advantage of about six pounds to the man In weight but did not show the speed or the skill Of the local team. Both teams were able to make fre quent gains, but invariably punted on the third down. In this feature of the game Keck clearly outclassed Nell. Re peatedly the Oregon kicker sent the ball through the air for 50 to 60 yards. Schlldmiller and his staff of coaches sprang a surprise with their little team of warriors, which put up a wonderful fight and showed splendid knowledge of the game. Every Oregon man -who was taken from the field came out with tears streaming down his face and protesting at every step'. May. ReynoldA Hastings. Keck and Huntley played the beat game for the Oregon and Neil. Lewis and Johneon did the 'stellar work for the visitors. May was in every play and tackled the run ner repeatedly. Hastings, Reynolds and Keck pulled off gains of from to 12 yards with such frequency that at times it seemed that the Washington team would be overwhelmed. Richardson, who was played at left half, also proved to be a good ground gainer. Oregon kicked off and. after two at tempts at tho line Whitman kicked. There was an exchange of punts and then Richardson got away for 25 yards and put the ball on Whitman's 30-yard line. Keck tried a place kick but failed. The quarter ended with the ball in the center of the field. Two mlnuierj after the opening of the second quarter, Enberg got the ball arter Cox had fumbled Keek's punt and carried it three yardei to the Whitman goal. Keck kicked goal. Flve minutes later Keck punted to -Neil who got tha ball on his own five-yard Hne. Neil at tempted to punt to safety, but May in terfered and the ball went almost straight up and was caught by an Oregon man on Whitman's ten-yard line. Oregon tried twice and then Keck resorted to a place kick, which he sent squarely between the goals. Before the quarter closed. Whitman got the ball on the O. A. C. five-yard line but Keck kicked it to safety. From this time on the contest waged back and forth over the field, with no advantage to either side. Only once did Whitman have a chance to score, and that was when Neil tried a drop-kick from the 20-yard line, but the ball went wild. Schlldmiller took advantage of the new rules to change his men frequently. Cap tain Hawley played only a few minutes of the game. Oregon used 17 men, while Whitman made but one change. The time was taken out frequently, but there were no serious injuries. Coach Bill Warner-and several university players watched the game from the side lines. The line-up: Whitman. . Position. O. A.

EUGENE, Or.. Nov. 6. (Special.) Mys tified by a wonderful onslaught of open style play, the freshmen from the Ore gon Agricultural College succumbed to the State University freshmen football squad by the score of 26 to 0, In the first annual class game between these two institutions. It was a game filled with many spec tacular situations, and, in spite of the one-sided score, there were several anxious moments for the varsity rooters. The university men had decidedly the better of the contest at practically all stages of the game. Had It not been for the phenomenal punting of Left Half Larson, of the college team, the score would have been much larger. This versatile little fellow booted the ball in splendid fashion from behind his own goal line on several fic casions, and outshone Cobb and Brad shaw In the punting department through out the three, quarters in which he ap peared. The brilliant star of the game was the doughty little Earle Cobb, the uni versity captain, who scored 21 of the 26 points recorded by his team. Cobb was in every play, and his generalship indi cated that the tricky formations which the university men had perfected were of liigh order. Aside from two 4-yard runs and a masterful control of the for ward pass, Cobb executed three place kicks, made two touchdowns and kicked two goals. The other score was made by Fiser, the speedy right end. who- recovered a long punt and dashed deftly past all in truders for the first touchdown of the day. Fiser was a veritable fiend in re covering fumbles, punts and forward passes. The university line from end to end. without -a . single eicepuuu. splendid ball, and at times displayed .... k.i.u TVii t- work was the secret of the university success on the offense, and on tne aeienso iuw helpless only before Larson's punting.

FREIGHTS NOW LOOK UP TIDE TCRXS IX FAVOR OP EXG LISH SHIPOWXER. Indications That Revival Is Some thing More Than Evanescent In Character Brings Joy. LONDON, Nov. 5. (Special.) After a long spell of disappointment, the tide seems to have turned in favor of the shipowner. Not only do freights show a substantial, all-around improvement, but there are Indications that the re vival is something more than evanes cent In character. As to the precise reasons which have brought about these better conditions the average shipowner does r not trouble himself very much. More Im portant to him is the fact that, in stead of doing business on an unre munerative basis, he has now the chance of making substantial, and pos sibly even handsome, profits. It Is so long since this sensation was experi enced that the shipowner may be ex cused If he has not quite got used to It. There can be no question that the improvement comes at an opportune time, for the long period of depression has been severely trying. Its wreck age has. of course, been considerable. By common consent, one of the rea sons why freight revivals are often short lived Is the haste which owners display In ordering further tonnage. In this connection the lockout in the ship building trade is not an unmixed evil, since there is little Inducement to ordar ships which there is no chance of the builder putting In hand. But tljere is the less need to enter into building contracts, seeing that there Is an ade quate supply at good second-hand ton nage available. A little while ago such tonnage was a drug in the market. Now its value is considerably en hanced a plain Indication that the position of the shipowner is a more cheerful one. In the long run, of course. the shipowners will benefit bv the revival in freights, and they are understood to be looking forward to. something In the nature of a boom next vear. Before then, no doubt, the trouble with the "black squad" will have been settled. " Albany Youth Is Dead. ALBANY, Or- Nov. 5. (Special.)

The largest crowd of the season streamed out to the stadium today to see the Harvard eleven defeat the light, but fast Cornell team on a wet gridiron, by the score of 27 to 5. Hamilton Corbett, of Portland, divided honors with Cap tain 'Withington, both of whom played one of the greatest games ever seen on a football field. The superiority of Harvard was shown almost from the start. In the first five minutes of . play the Crimson started from the middle of the field and carried the ball over for the first touchdown. Three minutes later, Lewis added three more points by a goal from the field from the 35-yard line. The third score was a touchdown by Lewis on a forward pass. From Cornell's 22-yard line another field goal was scored by Harvard from Potter's toe In the second period. Frequent substitutions were made by both teams In the third period until Harvard had practically a new eleven on the field. After five minutes of play Harvard took the ball from their own 16-yard line and made the third touch down. No goal was kicked. Harvard scored another touchdown in the fourth period, six minutes after the start, but Minot could not kick a goal. It was Harvard's ball on her -40-yard line when Pierce fumbled and Simpson of Cornell picked it up and ran to within two yards of the goal.

Fifteen inmates -of the State Soldiers' Home here are ill today as the result of a meal of rat poison, of which they par took heartily yesterday. Through the carelessness of an attendant, a plate of bread and butter which had been prepared for exterminating rats In the cellar of the dormitories, was placed on one of the tables in the dining hall and the 15 men ate it. The promptness with which the steward at the homo acted when he discovered that the sol diers had devoured the bread and butter meant for the rats is responsible for the fact that 15 deaths did not follow. 45 529-531 Washington Street,
