fear of her not being able to make the
run In Safety. She sailed to this coast
from China some years ago and arrived
at San Francisco In good shape. She
was towed here from Ban Francisco by
the steam schooner Aurella and her
seaworthiness was proven when she
broke awav from her towboat on the
very bar of the Columbia river during
a heavy storm. She drifted out into the
breakers but remained upright and rode
out the storm, although the -violent
tossing cost her the mlsszen mast.

HOTEL CAT RECALLS TO MIND COLD
GRAY DAWN OF MORNING AFTER
"I wish I felt as good as that cat,"
said a man at the Oregon hotel this
morning. Evidently he knew that "the
new year had arrived. Evidently, quite
apparent, in fact, it might be easily imag
ined that he had been celebrating the
big event.
But the cat knew nothing about the
New Tear. Nor did it care. But It was
happy and playful. And then the re
morseful one went on to philosophize on
the good sense of animals and the poor
judgment of man.
The cat that was feeling so good
this morning is the pet of the hotel.
It Is pure white. The telephone girls
call the cat "LHHe White." Among the
Japanese bell boys the pet is known as
"Neko,V a Japanese name for cats. The
clerks call the cat "Sunday," because
several months' ago she strayed into
the hotel lobby on a rest day, made
friends- with every c-ne and has made
her home there ever since;
The cat romped about the place this
morning and had the best time in its
life. Tho had-had-a-good-tlmers looked
at the cat with envy.
"I'h-going to get out of here," said
the one who had been envying the cat,
"that little Innocent animal there makes
me feel ashamed of myself."
'Then he strolled downheartedly out
Into the street in the direction of a bar
room. The cat continued to play.
HONEST PORTLAND BARBER
DASHES HOPES OF BALDHEADS
Portland not only has the greatest
lumber mills In the world, the largest
flouring mills oft the Taciflc coast one
of the finest fresh water harbors on
the face of the globe and as pure drink
ing water as can be found anywhere,
but a barber who tells the truth. He
frankly admits that he cannot cure
baldness.
This barber is Just 'like all other
men of his trade. He asks his custom
ers if they wast their hair cut or shave
and when that task is completed he
mentions something about a facial
massage. And incidentally, before he is
through with his man he wants to know
if' a little tonic Is wanted on the hair.
He doesn't even insinuate what the
tonic might be good for. And Just to
keep- his customers from going away
mad this wonderful Portland barber
suggests something about having one's
fingers manicured, and In fact all the
other tWmmlnps which go to make up
the toilet of a man.
But when it comes to baldness "it is

different. Another distinct feature of
the Portland barber, different from all
others in the wold. is the fact that he
himself has a luxuriant growth of. rUci
brown hair.
"Getting a little thin on top," he
says to his customers now and then,
barber fashion. ,
"Tea"," the customer usually replies,
dot a cure?"
And then it ia that the blow falls.
"Baldness cannot be oured," quickly
answers the frank barber, "I can't do
anything for It Neither can any one
else."
Then tne customer goes out thinking,
thinking.. It Is the hope of every own
er of a bald pate that some day he will
run across a retried v that will antunllv
restore to his head the long; thick hairs
of his boyhood days.
Portland's frank, truthtelllng barber
stands out in his class alon. There
Is not another like him in the world.
FINE VENISON
IS G 0 A I MEAT
Dealer, Works Hoax on Cus
tomers and Falls Into
Hands of Game Warden.
(8pectal Dtepatpb to The ' Journal.)
Caleton, Pa., Jan. 1. For two or three
days Frank Mandl was peddling alleged
venison to his customers In Mina and
vicinity. It went like hot cakes, for
the prices-was reasonable, and one has
not the opportunity to buy deer meat in
the open market every day.
The news reached the ears of a game
warden - at Bradford, and ha, came in
frreat haste. He went to Mandl's prem
ses with authority to arrest bim for
violating the game laws. Upon finding
Mandl the warden asked: .
"Have you been selling deer meat?"
"Sure I have," says Mandl.
"Do you know that you are liable to
arrest and a fine of $100?'' again asked
the warden.
Mandl by this time was frightened
and admitted that he was guilty, but
declared he did not know he was doing
wrong. s'
"Let me see the head of the animal,"
said the warden.
Mandl couldn't find it, but after con
siderable search in the barnyard Mrs.
Mandle brought it forth, horns and all.
"That ain't a deer, it's a goat," said
the warden.' v - . .
"That is so," said Mandl. Then it was
all off. Mandl was the first to tell the
Joke, which was not only on him, but
his customers, who thought they bad
been eating venison.
