Jollity reigned supreme at the Burnette residence, "9 Baum street, last Saturday evening, the occasion being a "track meet." The event was given under the auspices of Mesdames Burnette and Schuernian, and with the formal sanction of the International Association of Indoor Sports, of which popular organiza tion both of the charming hostesses are post-graduates and well versed In all the exacting regulations per taining to contests for supremacy In foot racing, pole vaulting, spooning, masticating, relaying, etc. The cli max was reached in the Marathon Endurance Peanut Record, amateurs being barred. In the 'varsity eight oared foot race several were disqual ified owing to professionalship. The decision of . judges In the soccer In- terscholastic spooning match was pro tested, and as a result a new team will be selected to practice for a futurity event In the spring. A mini hereof brilliant plays in the lawn tennis sculling championship created quite a racquet. The only casualty occurred in the pole vault, the chos en winner having been knocked out In the first round by- a solar plexus blow received from a stray hardtack discus. Some people are very care less and can never distinguish be tweeen an aviation stunt and a trap shoot. Hereafter those pitching quoits, under the rules, will, be con fined to the use of nothing softer than baking-powder biscuit. A sprinting feat, not on the score card, was unwittingly won by Mr. Bur netts himself, on the Medford-Ash-land circuit. It appears that he was in the neighboring town on business, missed the train on a catch-as-catch-can strangle hold, hoofed it to Tal ent, and from there summoned first aid to the tired by engaging an auto for the home-stretch, just in time to participate in the light refreshments which were served under the poor food act and in accordance with a rigid training dietary. Capital prizes were awarded Mesdames Davis and Wolf, who will also receive a percentage of gate receipts and share In the moving picture film profits. The Invited guests' were Messrs. and Mesdames Kinney, Peil, F. D. Wagner, Wolf, J. M. Wagner, Faw cett, Seager, F. R. Davis, Roese, Mc Coy, Whittle, Pickens, L. S. Brown, Day, Mrs. McQuilkin, Mrs. Newland and son Ralph, Miss Lydia McCall. SPECIAL NOTICE. All matter for the Tidings .should be directed to the pax-r, rather tlian to any person connected therewith. When directed to a person it is apt to Ik? sent to the home addi-ess, thus delaying its insertion. The Cost of Living. Joe Steinhardt gave the housewives at Pittsburg a few straight facts the other day as to why the high cost of living prevailed. Joe is a pretty shrewd Dutchman and a close ob server. He has the situation sized up pietty correctly. The housewife of today is looking for those articles that will cause her but little worry. She wants the cuts of beef, pork and lamb that can be hastily cooked. She doesn't order the less expensive cuts of meat. To prepare them so that they will not be so tough that the cat can't eat them takes time, and the housewife of today hasn't any great amount of time to devote to cooking meals. She has bridge clubs to attend, she must go to the meetings of various other clubs. She even has to vote in some states, and all of these things take time, time that the housewife of the good old days, when husbands ate good boiled dinners and didn't have indigestion, devoted to their domestic duties. Not many of the housewives, es pecially of the towns and cities, pre pare their own preserves and con serves. They buy these delicacies and pay big prices, not only for the contents but for the package con taining it as well. The Portland butcher who recent ly addressed the Oregon Agricultural College students stated that he had also found the high cost of living due in great extent to the fact that everybody wanted to buy the ,more expensive cuts of meat. Iuget Sound Excursionists. The third big excursion of the winter season, destined for southern California points, passed through Ashland last Thursday on the cus tomary schedule. The visitors num bered about 150, and in addition to the Puget Sounders there was a lib eral sprinkling of Canadians, many of whom were eager to learn facts relative to this section. The fine special train iu equipment was up to all requirements and was furnished by the O.-W. R. & N. and Southern Pacific systems, the excursionists be ing under the watchful eyes of Fred L. Whitney of San Francisco, special traveling representative of the Har- riman lines. Unclaimed Letters.

Since 1880 the export of teak wood from Burma has increased enormous- ly; but, despite the phenomenally high price of the wood, it would not be profitable to w.rk it, even in these days, without the elephant In this trade the Burmese elephants, massive animals whose strength Is almost un limited, are seen at their best as beasts of burden. From the time when the forest areas are purchased, before the trees are felled, to the hour of export on the ocean going vessels at the port on the Indian ocean the .elephant is the main worker. Far away iu the malarial swamps and almost impenetrable jun gles this majestic beast first tramps down a passage through the under growth. Then, guided by his Indian keeper's prong, the elephant com- mences his arduous labor of dragging the felled trees to the river, whence they are conveyed by raft down coun try to the sawmills. These enormous trees, untrlmmed and cumbrous, are sometimes dragged up and down the jungle and mountain forest pathways en route to the river with rare precision. At the mills again the work of packing and stack ing is done exclusively by elephants. When the trees are sawed Into lengths the elephants do the piling, bringing the huge planks from the sheds and arranging them in an orderly manner in numbered piles. Argonaut. Hard on the Lawyer. Sir William Jones was receiving a visit from Mr. Day, a man of some note at that time. During a conversa tion Sir William moved a book from its place, and u large spider dropped to the ground. "Kill that spider, Day! Kill that spider!" cried tne great scholar. "No." snm Mr. Day, "i will not kill 41... T T A I . Al.... I have a right to kill that spider. Sup pose now that you were going down to Westminster hall In your carriage and some superior being, who might have ns much power over you as you have over this spider, should call out: 'Kill that lawyer! Kill that lawyer!' How should you like that. Jones? And I am sure that to most people a lawyer j Is a more noxious creature than a spider." Why Is It? That a legless man can "put his foot in it?" That persons who are "consumed by curiosity" still survive? Thut frequently a sinking fund is used to meet a flouting debt? That straining the voice is not the proper way to make it clearer? That we speak of a stream running dry when the only way it can run is wet? That wives should expect their hus bands to foot the bills without kicking? That we talk of some one "going straight to the devil" when he has to be crooked to go there? Boston Tran script. Naturally. Youth Can you tell me which is Mr. Ponsonby. Lady The man with the gray hair talking to those ladies over there. I am Mr. Ponsonby's wife. Youth I know you are. That's why I asked you, as I thought you'd be sure to know. London Punch.

A Reminder of the Days When Crino line Waa the Vogue. I'ifty-one private letters of Dr. H. Kurt hex. physician to the prince im- j pcrinl. have been translated by Ber nurd Miall to form "The Empress Eu genie and Her Circle." A letter from I iiiuriltz (lSotii describes the empress I personally and discusses the fabulous amplitude of the dresses she wore: "All this stuff is supported by a sort of skeleton of flexible Iron. The empress is greatly attached to this cage, which to us seems very ungrace ful and inconvenient. She sticks to it in spite of the quips of the emperor, to whom she simply replies that she does not know how she lived so many years without a cage. "I can only find two excuses for thU fashion. One is that women who wear It have their legs free in walking and are not hampered by skirts and petti- coats hanging on their calves and thighs und impeding their movements; the other. In her case. Is that there is a sort of harmony between the ampli tude of the woman aud the size of the apartments in which she lives. Here a dozeu women adorn the salon admirably and are In harmony with the wide spaces, the ample seats, the width and height of the doors. I knew nothing of this effect, which I now understand, and I now see why this taste false in itself has never theless a certain justness in its appli cation." The Morning After.
