H. A Carnahan. Mrs. William Mathea baked the birthday cake and Mrs. A. H. Russell was the artist who did the decorat ing. Very artistically It was done His initials, "H. A. C," and "Fifty years" were very neatly placed on the top of the cake, and the cake was decorated round about with Oregon grape and set on a raised piece in the middle of ono of the long tables and carried into the lecture room. The pastor also received a fine box of chocolates from Mrs. Emma L. Jack.

On Saturday evening, January 20, at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Parson, the Presbyterian choir gathered to enjoy the evening In honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Rasor, who are soon to leave our city. It was to haye been a real surprise, but there was a leak somewhere. But It was none the less a very pleasant and happy time in Dr. and Mrs. Parson's hospitable home. The table was most beauti fully laden In the dining room. The piece do resistance was chicken, and since all were musical people, the at tack (I believe that Is the musical term) was In perfect harmony, and the way thoso good things disap peared well, It was a caution, . , Dr. Carnahan, on behalf of the choir, members of the choral soojety and some friends about the city, pre sented Mr. and Mrs. Rasor with a handsome traveling bag, to which Mr. Rasor responded in a few well chosen words. The evening was passed In a happy mood, and all regret that our choir and church and the musical circles of our city arc to lose these very estimable people. Mr. Rasor goes to take further studies In music, and the best wishes of all go with them for future success and the hope that sometime they will come back to us again. Keep It Dark. It is a dark secret and please don't ask us who told. If you had been up In the neighborhood of the Perozzl residence Saturdajs.nlght you would have guessed that some kind of mer rymaking was going on behind those closed blinds, but the chances are you never would have guessed that It was the degnlfied membership of the C.

"My son," began the officer as we walked bis beat together, "when you see a patrolman sauntering along the street and swinging his club you thiuk to yourself bow easy he earns bis mon ey. It Is not so easy when you come to understand everything. I may not make an arrest once in two weeks of an offender against the law, but I am busy all the time, and you shall bear about it "In the first place it seems to me that four out of five families have a row three or four times a week. In winter I do not hear so much, but iu summer, when the windows are open, I hear much more thau I want to.' The dwell ing houses on my beat are mostly three stories and of brick. The first story is occupied, as a rule, by bookkeepers, salesmen and the like, wbo can afford to pay about 20 a month. There are two families above them which belong to the laboring class. "I am sauntering along my boat and the first floor family are at supjicr when I hear the husband call. out: " 'Maggie, what In the devil do you get such meat for?' '"It was all I could get with the money you left me.' " 'Then why didn't you run In debt a little?' " 'Because we owe now more than wo can ever piy.' "'Don't you concern yourself about what I can pay or cannot This meat isn't lit for a dog to eat! It is all bone and fat and gristle.' " 'Well, you must eat it the best way you can. I am always pinched for money and always have to buy the cheapest things. We have got to keep you well dressed, you know, and the rest of us must wear our old clothes.' " 'Darned if I don't wish I had never married 1' " 'And so do I, for that matter. "And then I hear the busbaud shove back from the table, and In a minute more he is on the street and walking away. Half a block below I hear an other row. "You may say, my son, that these family skeletons do not concern the pa trolman ou the. beat, but they do Just the same. About three out of five of them end iu a row Iu which furniture is smashed and blows are given and tuken. Then It is his duty to make his appearance and take a hand in. We try to be peacemakers, but it often hap pens that we have to take the whole family to the station. Wives drink as well as husbands, and when It happens that both have beeu drinking they are very hard to handle. When they ap pear in court next morning one or the other has a black eye to be ashumed of, aud they are so repentant that his hon or generally lets them go on suspended sentence. There Is another thing, my son, that may surprise you. Take them as tbey run on any patrolman's beat iu this city and not one out of five chil dren up to six years old has learned the number and street of his home. As sure as they get three or four blocks away they are lost. They can tell the first name of the father or mother, but that is the best they caa do. It would take a father or mother about fifteen minutes to teach a child the street and number, but they don't do It. It would take about ten minutes to write the address down on a card and sew this card to their clothing, but they never take this precaution. When a child Is lost the first step of the mother is to find me. She seems to think I ought to know every child on my beat. "I can't leave my beat to go hunting up lost children, and so I send ber to the station. Nine times out of ten I havo got to go looking around after my regular hours of duty. Sometimes I find the child not more than two blocks away, and sometimes I have to hunt for two hours, with my feet ach ing as If somebody had clubbed them I tell yon as a fact that not one moth er in ten can so describe a lost child as to make easy w ork of finding blm or her. We will suppose that a woman comes running up to me to say that her llttlo girl, five years old, is lost. I must first calm her, for she Is greatly excit ed, and then the conversation runs about as follows: "'When did you miss your girl? " 'About two hours ago.' " 'What was the color of her hair?' " 'Brown, sir.' " 'And were her eyes blue or black?' " 'I can't be sure which, but I think they wore black.' " 'What sort of a dress fild she have on?' " 'A brown calico.' "'Did she havo shoes onT. " 'I think not sir.' "'Did she wear any sort of a hat?' - 'No, sir,; '"Is she a good sized girl for her age?-- "'Mary people have taken her for ten years old, sir.' "I take all this down in writing, but I am pretty sure that it is useless. Four blocks tip my beat I come across the lost girl. She bag walked and walked , until she bag become weary and Is Bitting on the curbstone to rest Iler hair, her eyes, ber size, her dross, are all different from what the mother described them, and yet she is the lost girl. When I lead her back to the cor ner from which she can see her house he Is alt right. If I badh't happened to pass her .the hunt might bare gone oa for two or three days."

Thinks Hi Coming Thru Oregon Commenting on newspaper stories sent out from San Francisco last week that there will be something doing shortly In providing a direct connection between Portland and San Francisco via the Spokane, Portland & Seattle railway system, the-Stra-horn line from Bend to Lakevlew and thence over the existing line from there to a junction with the Western Pacific, Friday's San Francisco Chronicle says: "Rumors and belief In them per sist to the effoct that what are known as the Hill railroads are at all times looking to an entrance to this city, which they will effect at the first favorable opportunity. The Hill roads are as certain to reach San Francisco as the Central line was to reach Hill territory In the northwest. What is sauce for the gooss will be found Lauco (for the gander. The goose has got hois. The gander will get his. "But, aside from the natural and healthful rivalry of railroad systems, a public necessity will be served by a direct line from this port through undeveloped territory to connections in the west and northwest. It will give the natural outlet to the prod ucts of the rich country opened up and give quicker and cheaper service than now exists between this port and the Lake Superior region. It will do what the existing steamer line never can do. for bulk freight can not move In that way. "The map published in yesterday's Chronicle shows that the natural line of approach is through Bend and Lakevlew, Ore., to a junction with the Nevada, California & Oregon, and, entrance to this city over tho West ern Pacific rails. The Nevada, Cali fornia & Oregon road is now being broad-gauged to a connection with the Western Pacific, and with that accomplished to Lakevlew there will remain only a link of 130 miles to complete the connection. Nobody can be made to believe that this con nection will not be made.
