AI- , v ' - VV THOMAS LAWSON EQUIPS Blooded Cattle and Hogs and Pedigreed Dogs Included in ;.; Assortment of Livestock Forwarded to Crook Co, Ranch by Boston Financier, Prlnevlll Or. Dear Bant: Please aend us a Koah'a with real, live animals In It. Dorothy (lwson) McCall. THIS must have been the message that Ue bewhiskered old gentleman received from Mra. Henry E. Mo : Call, of Prinerllle, Or. Certainly the wireless took the mes- tween Egypt Mass., and Prlnevllle, Or., there la a regular Noak'a Ark on wheels, with one of the finest assortment of live " animals that the Yuletlde ever brought. . Anyhow, the message found Its way to Mrs. McCall's father, Thomae W. v lAwaon, and the farmer, financier and all-around ' disturber of the peace of Standard Oil and Wall 8treet generally ' responded with the same generous spir it with which he delivers oroaasiaes io hla ODDonenta. "Tom" Lawson Is the copper king of Boston, and a man of many millions with as much aggressiveness in the world of business and finance as he has dollars). Thaf is hts role rn Boston; at Egypt, which la near the Plymouth Rock on which the Pilgrims landed and prayed, he hag probably the most won derful farm In the world. There may be found nearly everything blooded stock i of all descriptions, the finest of fowls, and the finest of flowers. In fact, Mr. Xawson has probably won more prizes with his exhibits than any farmer in America. . It was on this magnificent estate "Dreamwold," It is called that Mrs. McCall grew up with a love for the out - of -doors. And it was there that. In 1910, the famous "snow wedding" took plafe, when Dorothy Lawson became the McCall Is the son of a former con gressman from Massachusetts, and the newly weds came to Oregon to start their new life. Now there are two more HeCalls both boys. Here Is what "Santa" Lawson found - for the Noah's Ark: Three heifers and a bull; 1 Two Jersey and two Holsteln cows; Five gentlemen hogs; An asBonmeni oi unesape&ice nay i, terriers; A pair of collies; An English bull dog; A pair of full blooded cats field rat ters; A flock of champion hens; A half dozen of prize winning pigs. And everything in the list is of the kest IB Its class; and that class is the championship class. . The total value of the animals Is at least f 25,000. and with them the Mc Call will stock their ranch In Crook county. . At" Dreamwold Mrs. McCall was 1 trained under the watchful ey of lu-r 1 father, and that, combined with a nat ural love for animals and nature, has i inade her most expert. She not only knew every animal on her father's place by name, but she also makes every ani- ; mal pet regardless of Itx ancestry, r It la afe to say that once the housing ' McCall will set' about their chrlntenlng. Animals Travel In Palace Car. No ordinary transportation would do . for these animals, and special care had to be taken so that the Noah's Ark would be a great modern one, and the animals r u- j BELMONT SCHOOL Belmont, California " Belmont School does for Its boys what thoughtful and careful .parentn most ' wish to have done.

Hence the best "animal palace car" that could be found was procured for them, and the animals and the rest of the livestock have a chance to comfort ably live and view the scenery on their long "voyage" from Massachusetts to Oregon. , They are accompanied by men to look after their every need. The head herds man is also a veterinarian, and he has a full supply of each and every medicine that might Be needed. They are not ac customed to travelling, and thus more especial care must be used. Animals, like human beings more so In the case of blooded animals are so closely bre.1 that they have to be guarded like so many babies. Fof many days before the shipment the head herdsman, P. H. Robinson, who has a name for every animal at tho Massachusetts Dreamwold, saw to it that every member of the party was carefully looked after, and that the dogs were in especially good shape. Watchful Car Exercised. The prize cattle, worth at least 10.- uuu, naa me same attention as th doe. The Yorkshire pigs, the Cheshire, the Dcricsmreav We f oland China anr Tam wort pigs had the attention they need ed, for these pigs have never lived in the ordinary styes. They were all put into the most ultra condition of plgdoni. And, judging from the gleeful snorts with which they entered the car, they were highly elated at the prospect of a Journey to a new and faraway home, and to snort disdainfully at any lesser pigs that they might sight on the way. The flock of egg laying Plymouth Rock hens that Lawson picked out from among his thousands; the two pet cats of old Virginia stock, which, in addition to boastng of a First Family of Vir ginia pedigree, have the world's record as field ratters, were equally, enthusi astic in being honored as a part of the Christmas surprise. The night before Christmas little 'Tom" McCall and Henry, who is still tinier, will hang their stockings before the McCall fireplace, and the next morn ing, when they awaken, they are apt to find a little kitten in each. "Santa" Lawson"s magnificent gift Is quite in line with the Interest he has displayed in the McCall's Oregon ranch which some day may become a second Dreamwold." 1000 DEER SHIPPED; ONLY TWO MEM SHOT Coudcray, Wis., Dec 20.

GAY HOLIDAY SPIRIT HOLDS SAN FRANCISCO IN GRASP The Christmas Idea Abroad In Bay City Society Grows More Enthusiastic Over New Dances Portland Vis- itors in the Southland, By Marion Mac Rae. San Francisco, Pee. 20. The Christ mas festival spirit prevades the air In San Francisco this week, and the streets and shops are ablaze with the red and green and tinsel that give token of this Joyous time, in lieu of the frost and snow of less sunny climes. I think one of the prettiest sights Is at the Inter section of Kearney, Geary and Market streets, known as the "Chronicle Cor ner," which Is right in the heart of the business section. For a block on Kear- n,v nnri fnr nnm& dlRtnncA on Market. garlands of greens have been Interlaced In graceful design and strung across me tret while th n?ht standards are profusely decorated with roses, polnset tlas and Christmas bells. The flower stands at this corner are a sight In themselves, and blaze with cheery color, nthor uilin of the eltv are also doing neighborhood decoration, Clement street, in the Richmond district. Deing me mosi oiohnmto nf thesn. Christmas trees and red-coated, white-whiskered emissaries of old Kris Kringle delight all shoppers, and the many carloads of fir trees .hiring in fmm ftresron. are finding ready sale. Practically all the greens used have been sent in rrom uregon, and one sees many an Oregonlan snlf ttntr !. nt ndon of the young firs and looking a bit homesick. A mammoth outdoor Christmas cele bration is being arranged for the chll ..n r.t ih. Mtv which will be held in Golden Gate park. There will be a won derful tree In the Stadium, wnicn wm tower to a height of 80 feet, and a num- v,. t .msllnr trees will be grouped about it, giving a fairy land effect to delight the youthful guesis. ine eoci .. tho eltv hr well as the t?Ly nuiucii - .-.r. men, are enthusiastically engaged in raising the fund ror tnis great out-uum ,-t anA t nromtses to be a rare suc- f thn eveninar dan- sant given in the St. Francis Rose Room last Wednesday nlgnt were lurnmi vur to this fund, and. Judging from the ntrondancn. every one was bent on adding his or her contribution to this giant Santa Claus monopoly, a cao aret was furnished by the various art ists playing at local theatres, and the (osi.tihiA Tmna Franklin, who has just opened an engagement at the new Gai ety, not only loosened the purse strings of many, but completely severed them. Thea Bansanta Meet with Favor. Thes Dansants, which will be a Sat urday afternoon social feature from now until Lent, opened today at the Palace, and proved to be a very smart affair, the patronesses being of the most con eeruat've society matrons. Not to be outdone by sbceding members, the pa trons of the St, Francis dansants have announced that hereafter, on each Mon day night, there will be given In tho Rose Room of the St. Francis an "Apres le Theatre" Dansant. ; This is to be very eolusive,-anfl Will be patronised by the Templeton Crockers, :. the " "Walter Mar tins, the de Giugnes, Tubbe, McNears and Kohls. This will make four regu lar dansants each week. In addition to the great number of private affairs and the dress balls planned between now and " the - Lenten season.- Of course, there are innumerable charity affairs, as is usual at this season; so there does not seem to be much in the line"of beauty sleep for devotees to this fascin ating mode of entertainment until Ash Wednesday dawns quiet and peaceful. Over In Burllngame, which became famous for setting long distance rec ords through Eleanor Sear's famous walk to Del Monte several seasons ago, much regret Is being expressed that the Tango pedometer was not put into us? some weeks sooner, as It is felt certain another record would have been added to their laurels. Recently, at a smart function, attended mostly by the young set, one of the Tango numbers lasted exactly 55 minutes. Can any of the new devotees In Portland equal that for endurance? The buffet menu Is now In exclusive vogue here for both afternoon and even, ing affairs. Low tables, or buffets, aro conveniently arranged near the ball room, with small tables at hand, and the dancers take an Ice or salad or pate whenever so inclined. At some of the more elaborate affairs the young folks danced between each course. This mode of providing refreshment for guests Is much more In favor than the formal midnight supper ever was, and It Is also a boon and a blessing to the hostess. Madam Emma Eames de Gorgorsa in augurated this fashion here, and it was taken up Immediately as not only novel, but convenient, new and more pleasing to guests. The first Harem veil appeared at one COMB SAGE TEA IN TO IT Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy, thick with a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur. The oldtlme mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair la grandmother's treat ment, and folks are again using It to keep their hair a good, even color, which Is quite sensible, as we are living In an age when a youthful appearance is of the greatest advantage. Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use product called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" for about 60 cents a bottle. It is very popular because nobody can discover It has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, talc ing one small strand at a time; by morn ing the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beautifully darkening" the hair after: a few applica tions, ILalso produces that soft lustre and .appearance of abundance which Is so attractive; besides, prevents dand ruff, Itching scalp and falling hair. Ad. HAIR DARKEN MORNING, DECEMBER' 21, of Thomas W. Lawson; group of terrier and prize bull, also included of the dansants this week and created quite a furore, and when Mrs. Temple ton Crocker came In wearing one of the new high crowned Paris hats so unlike anything being worn in America, this winter, every debutante began to look envious and calculating. So it looks as though the picturesque Mrs. Crocker will not long have a monopoly on this latest of Paris modes. Women In Polo Match. Before the month is over the first series of polo games ever played exclu sively by , women, outside fashionable Newport, will be In progress between ban Mateo s ultra-exclusive set and those of Burllngame. There are some pretty good riders down there; but I should feel safer with my money placed on some of Portland's cross-country rid ers ir it were a case of betting. At the Presidio, Colonel W. C. Bowen. of the Twelfth Infantry, has replaced colonel George Bell, and many gay times are planned, as the ban has been raised on ragging, and the other newer aances. At iron Winrield Scott, Mrs. Colonel Richmond P. Davis is being warmly welcomed, and much entertain ing provided for her. Miss Polly Young. who is visiting here from Vancouver Barracks, has participated in many of these runctions, and Miss Barbara Mac Kenzle continues to be much feted. Mr. and Mrs. John C. Alnsworth are guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Percy T. Morgan, at' Mountain View. Mr. and Mrs. George Simons sailed from this port the 16th for a pleasure trip, which will take them around the world. Mrs. Simons was very proud of the fact that their Hood River apple orchard was, In a measure, responsible for this pleas ure. Dr. and Mrs. Malcom Bronson, of Hood River, were at the Palace early in the week, en route to Ohio for the holi days, and thence to Germany, where Dr. Bronson will take up some special stud ies In connection with his profession. C. H. Sproat, formerly manager of tho Hood River Apple Growers' Union, was also here, en route to Los Angeles to Join Mrs. Sproat. Sergeant John Walsh, U. 8. A., al though over 60 years old, put all the long distance walkers to thinking when he blithely trotted through the city last Tuesday towards the Presidio, having Just completed a 10,000 mile hike.

Queen Mary has very strong, opinions on the subject of women smoking, and her, women guests, if they feel that they 1913. , must smoke, have to Indulge In a cigar ette in their bedrooms. Royal guests., however, always please themselves, and her majosty w a little astonished the other day when the Duchess of Hohen berg. the wife of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, took out a cigar Immediately after breakfast. The cigars which the duchess smokes are made of the choic est Havana leaf, and are far less harm ful than the scented cigarettes with which most women ' smokers delud themselves.

No Christmas tree ship will be brought Into Chicago this year by members of the Schuenemann family. Last year, Captain Herman Schuenemann and his crew of 12 went down in Lake Michigan while bringing their Christmas tree harvest to market here. His widow, Mrs. Barbara Schuene mann, and her daughters, are carrying on his work and had Intended to bring another Christmas tree ship into port this year, but the storms of two weeks ago changed their plans and this year's harvest will be brought to Chicago by rail. The widow, who has superintended a gang of men cutting the trees In northern Michigan, returned for" Thanks giving and declared she would not tempt fate. "If we had sailed from Manlstlque at the time we had first planned, our fate would have been the same as that of my husband and his crew last winter," she said. ALL THIS MONTH!
