There Is much less dodder in al falfa seed grown innOregon and other northwest states now than formerly. The number of samples' examined containing dodder at the Oregon Ag ricultural College has decreased from almost one-half three years ago to about one-fourth at the present time. The tests also showed that the de crease in the number of dodder seeds hi one pound of alfalfa seed is fully as great. The marked improvement in the purity of the alfalfa seed is due to the extensive tests that have been made and the rejection of in fested seed by dealers and farmers. according to Mies Norma Waddle, ex pert tester of the co-operative labo ratory. Miss Waddle also calls at tention to the fact that the new state pure-seed law prohibits the sale of dodder-infested alfalfa seed. Chil dren may be taught that when dodder has been eradicated from Oregon fields home-grown seeds will be bought more largely by Oregon farm ers. This will bo a great advantage to the farmers who grow the seed for sale and to the farmers who wish to buy seed to sow. Can any boy or girl tell how it will help the farmer to buy "Made-in-Oregon" seed rather than imported seed? The PORTLAND EVENING TELE GRAM and Ashland Tidings on year, 15.00.'

Th Relative Who Never Abandon "It's a funny thing about a lunatic's relatives." said the superintendent of an Insane asylum. "There are reliable statistics nliont the way a lunatic's relatives utand by him. "The relative who stands by a lunatic least, who stops visiting him in the asylum first of all. is a brother. The next relative to drop off Is. a wife. That sounds bard, but it's true. Don't count on your wife if you nre going to become a lunatic. Next husbands drop off. A little truer than wives hus bands are. but only a little. Next fa thers abandoa the lunatic, next sisters. "One relative never abandons him. Till she dies, or he dies, she comes regularly on visiting day. bringing un derwear and ties, cakes and tobacco provided, of course, that the lunatic's a male. If it's a female this relative Is equally faithful. And even though as sometimes happens, the poor, mad creature bates her. curses her. tries to strike her when she visits biro, she still remains faithful. When her visits cense they cease for only one reason- death. "Nor do I need to tell you which rela tive this one Is." New York Tribune. Origin of King's Countel. King's counsel has the great Bacon ns the founder of the order. lie had no inclination to be made n "eerjeant" and persuaded Queen Elizabeth to ap point him "queen's counsel extraordi nary." James 1. granted to Bacon n pat ent, confirming bis status as "one of our counsel learned In the law." ns K. C.'s are still officially designated. An annual salary of 10 was originally attached to the position and was re ceived by all "silks" down to 1831, when parliament ntollsbed the snlary. together with the allowance for sta tionery and bugs. The receipt of a salary by K. C.'s meant that they hud accepted an office of profit under the crown and those who were mem bers of parliament bad (o seek re-elec tion. Loudon Taller. At Koreans Shop. Shopping in Korea is u very grave and solemn task and occupies the mas ter of tbe bouse the greater part of the day. In the, market here he pur chases his provisions, cooklug utensils, linen suits, bats, sandals, tobacco, and the native drink, a liquor obtained from fermented rice. Only one article of the same kind Is purchased from a single store. It would be nn offense against Korean etiquette to buy a dozen at a time, as this would de plete the stock too quickly and give the 6hnpkecer the trouble and work of restocking before be was ready: It will therefore be seen that wholesale orders are not welcomed in this odd country; "little and often" appears to be the Golden Rule in buying. Wide World Magazine. Out For a Dicker. The old fashioned farmer, who liked nothing more than to dicker, bobs np now and then to rub elbows with the moderns.

Two miles out from Settle, on the main rood between that town and In gletou. Yorkshire, England, there Is to be found one of the most curious of natural phenomena in tbe shape of the famous ebbing uud flowing well of Uig gleswlck. A smnll. unpretentious little struc ture, scarcely to be. distinguished from the ordinary trough of water to be seen on many of our country roads, it is yet one of the most quaint and fascinating 1 spectacles one could hope to see. As ' the name implies, the well has the na ture of a tide. It ebbs and flows con tinually, though by no means with reg ularity. Sometimes the privileged traveler will see the oblong stone basin filled with clear water; then, even as he gazes into its pellucid depths, the wa ter gradually sinks until the trough ts half empty, or It may be more. ' There Is barely time to wonder at this strange thing ere. with a rush and a whirl, tbe trough is again full. The ebb and flow continue with more or less marked ef fect, and tbe water Is never at the same level for two consecutive min utes. Sometimes the outflow' bus scarcely begun before the basin again Alls, but nt other times the trough Is almost emptied. Wide World Maga zine. When Women Knew Not Golf. A correspondent sends the Glasgow Herald somo anecdotes of that period, not so long ago, when women knew nothing of golf. One lad v. mnklne sympathetic conversation at dinner. said to a keen golfer: "I often see von In your red cont Do you peed many dogs to play golf?" A younger lady said she knew exactly how the game was played. "They get what they call a caddler to hunt about in the grass till they And a round stone, and then they hit it Into a rnbbit hole." A third lady, who had evidently enjoyed a pear er view of tbe game, said: "It fs' ploy ed by two men. One Is a gentleman and the oilier Is a common man. " The common man sticks a ball on a lump of dirt, and tbe gentleman knocks it off!" Westminster Gazette. An Indignant Artitt. Haydon. the painter, was much dls gnsted when be visited London In 1846 at the time when two of his finest pictures were being shown at tbe Egyptian ball, and the public thronged Into another room where General Tom Thumb was on view.

Her maiden name was Chloe Ann' Knox and her grandfather was a veteran of the Revolutionary War. In 1859 she was married to Byron Colti also a native of Putnam county who had come to Oregon in 1851 with his brother Rufus to make his fortune and returned east to claim his bride. They came to Oregon in 1S60 by way of the Isthmus of Panama. Byron and,Kufus Cole on their ar rival in 1851 took, up a donation claim in the mountains, seven miles south of Siskiyou. They established a stage station and for several years ran the stage route in partnership Byron Colo seJling out his interests in the place to his brother before go ing east for his bride. . Locating at Upper Coles, Mr. and Mrs. Cole embarked in agricultural pursuits at one time owjiing. 900 acres of land and a large amount of stock. They subsequently sold five hundred and eighty acres of land, re taining three hundred and twenty asres, on which was a mineral spring of superior medicinal properties. The spring becoming noted, the Coles erected a hotel near it in 1884 and made It a popular summer resort,, the adjacent railway station on the Southern Pacific being named Coles tin. This hotel Mr. and Mrs. Cole managed successfully until his death in January ,' 18D4; Mrs. Cole managed the hotel for about six years after the. death of Mr. Cole. carryiHg it on until April, 1900, when she rented the property and took up her residence in Ashland. Mr. and Mrs. Cole were among the many worthy and respected pioneers of Jackson county. They came to Oregon when the country was new and the settlers few in number and far between. For many years they were actively identified with the ag ricultural interests of this section of the state. Taking up land that was yet in its original wildness they la bored energetically, and with justifi able pride and satisfaction, watched Its gradual development from a -for est and brush-covered tract to a well- improved ranch, yielding abundant harvests and giving sustenance to large herds.
