Dear Bant:
Please aend us a Koah'a

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

gressman from Massachusetts, and the
newly weds came to Oregon to start
their new life. Now there are two more

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

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

CAR WITH CHOICE

have all the cars that It was possible to
give them.
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."

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

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.

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

quite a furore, and when Mrs. Temple

anything being worn in America, this

though the picturesque Mrs. Crocker

latest of Paris modes.

NO CHRISTMAS TREE
SHIP FOR THE WIDOW
Chicago, Dec. 20. 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.
