Finally, every last one of those tail pieces will suddenly Jump back Into their respective places. Then the lliard Is as rood and as happy as ever. Now, mind you, Tom Corum of Medford says he has seen the lizard do this many times. In faof, it is rather a common occurrence. But Tom was always aione when it happened. Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, ar rived In Portland a week ago Saturday evening, Early Sunday mornlna- there was an electrical storm. It was the first one In this viclnit ' in a s;ood long while. The same thins; happened in Se attle. There was llehtning- and other funny stunts In the heavens. The day after Mr. Edison arrived tn Salt Lake on his way to the coast there waa a thunder storm If rain storms continue to follow the electrical wizard abdut the country, some one will be of- reringr mm a Dig-, xai salary to locate in western Kansas or some of the other dry parts of the west and to lust stay there as long as the crops need rain. ,.

Portland Has Real Philanthropist , Who Cares for Wounded Canines - Portland probably has a unique phil anthropist If he: has any . rivals any where else. on the globe they have never been heard from In this part of the country. The name of this man Is H. Hansen. He Is a bachelor who lives at 177 Cheater street. Pittsburg has her Carnegie, New Tork has her Stokes and Chicago her Rockefeller, and other big villages have their own particular dispenser of charities, but Portland leads them all for genuine out and out philanthropy. The others all get your returns. If Rockefeller gives away a million dol lars to the oil 'varsity his name is em blazoned on stone or colored glass and his soul if he has any drinks in the adulation of a grateful student body, and alumni; If Carnegie establishes a libraryhe has the satisfaction of know ing . that generations to come will see his name sunk imperlshably in the granite corner stones of a thousand buildings; If W. Phelps Stokes dlstrlb utes millions anjong the poor In the slums of ' Gotham - he derives no little Joy from the grateful - denizens of the tenement and rrom seeing nis name in a score . of magaslnes in which he is heralded as a Denefactor of mankind and a philanthropist of the first water.
