Then the fun began. - "The crowd had "caught on' to the Joke, and everybody In it waa laughing and hooting at the musician This an gered the players and a free fight re sulted in: which broken beads, riot calls, smashed horns and cracked .' heads formed part of the program, which was followed by the arrest of nearly a score of' persons, ' V ; '. Mr. Clarke's Mistake. ... -7. a Nathaniel K. Clarke, clerk , of ? the Portland hotel, often meets with pecu liar experiences and people, and, best of all. remembers them. .The other day he was telling of a man and wife who had room 784. It is close to the baggage elevator, and as the woman was very nervous, she asked to be changed to an - other or rather had her husbanda.sk Mr. Clarke to give them a room else where. . . ' After making all the necessary ar rangements, the clerk stepped to the tele phone booth and asked the operator to connect him with T(1. e He turned, to his work and forgot all- about hie telephone call. Presently his bell rang and he took down the receiver.. This conversa tion followed: ; ... "Hbllo. who is thJsr. ' "Oh, didn't yon calir "Oh. yes. 1 this JitT .

The dignity of the federal court la ) something wonderful to the person who .; - passes within Its portals for the first ' ' ..time. In fact, it becomes ODDresslvs. Humor has no more place there than . in the Passion Play.- Dignified lawyers . move about with dignity as they recite dignified farts 44 dignified language' to the dignified Judge who sits In dlgnlfed grandeur waiting with dignified patience for the dignified ending of dignified eases. -Humor? Never, dignified Indigna tion rather than humor. . ' However,--. Judge sometrmes gets on the bench who has a sense of humor and cannot, at times, conceal It. 'For the . firt time since Judge Charles E. Wol , verton ascended the bench in the United States district court, he allowed his . natural love of humor to get the better of him. last week. Mind, it was only a alight pleasantry,, but it broke the Ice, 'of dignity that has been piling up un der his administration since his appolnt - meat a year ago, and nobody knows ' how long before that that a laugh waa ' . heard to ripple through the dignity of ,.- the courtroom. - It all happened this way. Judge T. . , . It Crawford of La Grande appeared for a client before Judge Wolverton and t stated,. that Inasmuch as the parties to i the suit were to settle their, differences , outside -.he court, he would ask the court tor an indefinite postponement -i, of the case, despite the fact, he said, . "that there are many interesting ques tions Involved." : t' With a slight smile hovering about his mouth. Judge Wolverton said In a calm. dignified and judicial voice: "If the parties can settle their case outside the court, the court believes that it can dispense with the interesting questions." . , Wasn't flit Rubber. There Is a barber shop on one of the streets that cross Washington, In the downtown district, that has some of its mirrors arranged in such a way that a customer in one of the chairs can se everybody who peases on Washington street.

A young fellow who has ault a reputation as a Xhap. pie" was in one of the chairs one day.! when he observed one , of bis. ."lady friends pass on -her wsy. - Hs stretched his neck and craned . his head to the last possible point where he could ob serve ber reflection and then settled back in his (hair. - As he did so, some thing was-heard to snap, and It waa thought the rubber band had. at laat given way. but it only proved to be one of the barbers cracking his knuckles. Everybody laughed, and the young mau left,- his face very red, and he has not- been shaved there since. What Some Signs Say. ; "Have "ou ever observed T began the old man who calls himself th cr ths North End, ' the humor con tained In some of the signs used by business men In Portland? ' ' "Take for instance tha sign 1 noticed on Washington street' It reads, 'Man ufacturers of hard and soft woods.' I went Into the office to have my curios ity satisfied, and found that Instead of entering into competition with nature, the owners meant that they were manu facturers in hard and soft woods. , "On my- way back to town, and on the other side of tha street. I saw the following, sign in a restaurant: 'We serve the best coffee In town.',) Next door a newly married and rather am bitious young man started a restaur- ant on a small scale. His sense of i humor compelled him to place a sign In, his window reading. 'We serve next to the best coffee in town.'" ' 1 Y As the old man turned to go away, he thought of another sign he had seen. He called out, "Walt a minute," and then proceeded as follows: "Tou know I travel a good deal. I am here today and gone tomorrow, al though I always come back to Port- lnd. Well, when -I was in Hot Springs, Arkansas, one time, I observed a great poster plastered on a.buge bill-board. This poster was a cigar advertisement and contained the picture of a beautiful woman dressed In a wrapper. "Beneath tha picture ran it he legend: "Like tmokerlno not the wrapper, but whatJla Jn..itJ8aythat cigar didn't have to sell on lta merits in Hot bprtngs." Of Course, the Fish Story, ' When It comes to telling fish stories. Dick" Dickinson.- who managea the Oregon hotel, can-hold his own with any of the devotees of Isaao Walton's cult. He haa fished for everything but whale, andkhas always come home with a. big catch.- One time he went out to buy a piece of timber land, and took a "cruiser" with him: when they were near tha patch which he wlahed to buy, "Dick" discovered a fine trout stream. Tharisttler It The cruiser was given hasty Instructions to look over the tim ber, while the hotel man turned to his favorite sport . ; The entire day weht-by1eior the men saw each other.' When the crulaer returned he reported the land "no good' and seemed downcast -!.- "Never mind." replied" his employer. "I caught a good string of fish.' And ail .the way home be never once mentioned the land, but talked about the rblf one that got away. Another tale that the mighty fisher man tells is about the fishing In a stream-in Idaho. It was so good, he ays. that a jaan-could.. caUh. salmon weighing more than JO pounds at any time. There. was'' a smelter on the stream and the owners had built a slag dam across tha river In order to secure water power. One day "Dick" was standing beside this dam with the bookkeeper of the ore reducer watching the action of the water as it came tum bling over the dam and -incidentally looking for fish. ' 'All of sudden," aaid -llca." great big fish tried to make the leap over the dam. He swerved too much and landed on the slag' on which we were standing. Ths bookkeeper went after him. ' "There waa a barrel stave lying near by and the bookkeeper, who was a little man. grabbed It up and started to beat the fish about the head. J"or fully IS minutes they wrestled around me, first the fish on top and then the book keeper. Finally, when he was nearly worn out with exertion, the bookkeeper succeeded In getting In the knockout and Mr. Fish lay aa one dead. We took the fish to the -smelter where we found that he tipped the beam at 75 pounds. or maybe 77, I have forgotten which."

'"tt expect to build next spring a county hospital large enough to accom modate 160 patients," said County Judge L. II "Webster yesterday . afternoon. The 'county court has retained an ar chitect to draw plans, and the details of tho building are being considered." .- The cost of such a hospital aa tne county desires to build has been esti mated at 130,000. The present hospital located st the poor farm, has proved Inadequate to the county's needs, and m addition Is not as easy of access s hospital - should be, being about lour miles from the city. It has been suggested that the county hospital should be removed ss far as possible In location, name, and tha idea at charity, from the county poor farm. It is believed the new hospital will be erected somewhere In the city, probably on the east side of the river, and that It will have some distinctive name, such s tne other institutions or tne city have. Thla would lessen the Impression that persons, treated were paupers and Is In line with the deslrs to exclude the association of the county poor farm from the county hospital. . - - The new hospital will Include the much needed and much talked of emer gency wards, which would probably be available to both the city and the coun ty. A regular training school for nurses will be conducted In connection with the county hospital. Another urgent need that the new In stitution will fill Is that of detention wards, where persons charged with In sanity may be held pending their -ex-amtnaUon. These- Wtfrd's'Tir eS0neTfl1iy Important boos use of the large number of. women against whom complaints of Insanity are lodged. At present, the only place where people so charged ran be held I the county jail, which has no matron. ..JL.I etUd that the jell U not a -, . - . : L. , Weathered OA Couch $25 Mad of solid oak tn a pleasing Mission design.'- Haa loose cushion of chase leather filled with silk float.-.. present tho whole family will enjoy. . . . - . :' 7 HaiaCsoiae -ouc& ly Udies Desk $3 Made of quarter-sawed oak, hand jollshed and put to gether In tha best possible manner.
