HERR ARMEN VESCKY. noted or chetra leader of New York, quoted 'as having said, upon Til" return from abroad not long ago, that Europe Is going wild over the ragtime dances. In Parle ha found the "turkey trot." the the "Texas Tommy" and. all tha other, and everywhere orchestra were play Ing ragtime to tha exclusion of classic airs. In Vienna the situation was no bet ter while at Carlsbad, Marlenbad ana Klssongen the situation was the same, and the New York musloian came home discouraged, regarding the mmoaar; future of the classics, although it is believed that ragtime will eventually wear Itself out, suffering the pendulum of popular favor to swing back again to the more consecutive music and , dances. Qne of Ban Francisco's belles, who has Just returned from Europe, is " introducing th "Crab. CrawfWar.4 so ciety of -the Bay City ts taking kindly to the new step. Still the "Crab Crawl. . nothwlstanding Its name and the fact that It comes under the head of ragtime dances, Is said to be an Improvement up on some of the others, a gliding, grace ful movement being named as one or Its chief characteristics. Time alone can tell Just what, the attitude Of Portland society toward rag time dancea will be this winter but It might not be amiss to prophesy that the trend of the coming months will probably ba strongly Inclined toward the conservative and thoroughly approved Aanoes, for "ragging" in Portland has yet to reach the plaoe where it is ad mitted In much more than a whisper. w IV At-Homes.

A SOCIALIST orator, who appears to be a false alarm as a lieart smashcr. has been making a speech In which he charges that women are sordid creatures, un fluly given to the wqTsnlp of the gold in calf. "Marriage Is a fraud," he thundered, "and very married man knows It. The women who have refused to marry me refused ni because I was- poor. The modorn girl marries a man with auto mobiles, and turns down the fellow who brings her a tag of peanuts and in honest love for an evening's enter tainment." Stuff and nonaese. It Is, of course, soothing to a man's vanity to believe that It ts his lack of money, and not his lack of good looks and personal attractiveness.-- that causes girls to give him the mitten. Unfortunately for his ftrgument, however, the facts do not bear him out. The average young woman is not the svarlclous creature he paints her. Fhe doesn't think too much about money and what the man she marries can give her. On the contrary, she pays en tirely too little attention to this side of the question, and is altogether too prone to believe that she can live on bread and cheese, and kisses, afer marriage. To he happy, a home must rest upon a Found financial platform. Riches are sot necessary, but a competence Is. Love can survive absence and death, but not the petty annoyance of the bill collector always pountllng on the door. Especially Is tills true If before mar riage a man and woman have been ac customed to the luxuries of life. Then, If their whole existence becomes a never-ending struggle to make the ends meet; if they have to crucify their tastes and inclinations every hour of the day; If they have to live In squalid surroundings, they would be more than human If they did not regret the price they .paid, and say to themselves that love and marriage are not worth It. Ag for the woman's side of the mat ter, it is folly to belittle the part that a comfortable living plays in her happi ness in life. It is true that money will not ease a broken heart, In ease she is unfortunate enough to make a dis astrous marriage, but It cushions all or the hardest places, and Is a buffer between her and the crudest Jolts of fate. No matter what her sorrows, the woman who has freedom from financial anxiety, and her home, and place In society, and pretty clothes, has her consolation. The chief reason, though, that women admire men who can give thfcm auto mobiles instead of peanuts, to use the Socialist orator's phrase, Is not so much the selfish desire for luxury as because every woman yearns with unspeakable yearning for the man she loves to suc ceed. Women worship success and success ful men, and the knowledge of this has been the spur that has made many a man get out of the peanut class and Into the automobile one.

James J HIU was born on a farm near Guelph, Ont, September 18, 1838, of Scotch-Irish parents. His father's death when he was 14 years of age made It necessary for him to go to work as a clerk In the village Store, where It Is said, his first wage was but 11 a week. In 1866 he set out for California, but within the year found himself on the steamboat docks at St Paul, where he obtained employment as a shipping clerk.

After serving two years as general manager, Mr. HIU became president of the Bt. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba railway In It 83, and continued as such until 1891.

CHASES WILD STEER FINDS GOLD MINE While chasing a refractory steer along a steep hillside near his little farm In Baker county, Samson B , farmer, picked up several sharp stones to throw at the animal. The peculiar for mation of the pebbles arrested his attention and Instead of hurling them after the bovine he. dropped them in his pocket. They were much different from rocks he usually found in the vi cinity. Later he examined them and found he had picked up soino particles of quarts that were heavily studded with iron py rites and stained with copper salts. Samson was not a miner, but he realized that the quartz might contain gold also. In any event he decided to find out. Ua was a. habitual reader of The Journal want ad section and therefore knew It Is a complete business directory. Under the head of "Assayers" In the classi fied ads he found the address of a Portland assayer and for warded the quartz to him. The assayer reported it carried gold In paying quantities. .

"Your growth has not only been rapid," said he, "but you have grown beautiful too. It is not usual for a community to grow .up so rapidly and at the same time so substantially. Portland is not only great, but; beauti ful and substantial. This, of course, I attribute to the wonderful natural ad vantages. Nature has given Portland scenic beauties that few cltie have."
