"I think I van cut out to
plonker preacher's wife," Haiti
Benjamin Young, wife of the pastor
of the First M. K. church, who with
Lr. Young and thr of their five
children will leave Monday for To
peka, and whd in her early flays as the
wife, of I)r. Young spent several years
In Wyoming during Its wildest days.
"I loved that life, and since get
tlng Into civilization, have often longed
for It.' As a girl I was never used to
anything but luxury and always
wanted a tasto of western life," she
added. "I surely got It."
Her experiences were thrilling in the
extreme and led hex through haunts
of tfce famous Jesse James gang, into
the borne of characters made famous
by Owen Winter's "Virginian," and
over noted mountuln trails where des
perados thrived."
Mrs. Young, who was Miss Craw
ford, met Dr. Young in Medicine Bow,
Vyo., . where she had gone to accept
a position teaching school, having
found It necessary to go west for her
health.
tuaile my home with Colonel and
Mrs. Klinklnbeurd, who were made the
elrlef characters lu 'The Virginian.'
There I had Many experiences. The
fcfjrst night 1 was there, pork was
served for supper and Colonel Klink
lnbeurd served me the choicest pieoe
of the tpet. It so angered Mrs. Klink-Inbeard-
however that she" picked up
th-e rest of the meat and"hurled it with
all her might at the Colonel's head.
He whs -used to that however and
dodged It very nicely.
"There was an Kpiscopal minister
there that Mrs. Klinkinbeard wanted
me to like.but I didn't, so when Dr.
Young came to call on me she always
came Into the parlor and sat between
us. Ho,w we ever carried on courtship,
, I cannot understand.
"We were married in Pennsylvania,
my home, and five days later started
for the west. We landed at Rock
Springs with Just $5 to start house
keeping. There was no church there
and wo worshiped over a saloon. We
were there 15 months when one day
a minister from Rig Horn .called on us
and told' us what a fine field there
was In his district and asked Dr.
Yourvg to e4-liange charges with him.
"We finally agreed and Dr. Young
traded all our furniture and paid the
minister $25 to boot for a team of
horses, which he said were very fine,
and a rig.
' "We started for the new home on
a Friday and reached Oillette the fol
lowing Thursday. We then had to go
an additional 125 miles by stage.
"When Dr. Young went to get the
horses he had traded his furniture
for he found instead of a fine team,
two unbroken bronchos, and a rig
which was not worth altogether $50.
The two horses were finally caught,
thrown and put Into harness and we
made fast time to Big Horn. There
Instead of finding a. thriving congre
gation hh we had been uromispri we
found four people that belonged to the
church, two of whom were too old and
poor to contribute a cent for: the sup
prt of the church and the two others
o siingy mat. (tney woman t. in xne
year and a hnlf w,e spent there we
received but $30 in cash.
"Dr. Young had three districts to
cover. Banner, Bechton and Big Horn.
Wo lived stt Big Horn and the other
two places were 12 miles on each side.
With the newly broken, team we could
make any trip in justone hour and
IS minutes.
"When we arrived at that city, how
ever, we found the only place we could
make a home in was an abandoned
"saloon that had been the rendevous of
the Jesse James gang .and the house
was ventilated through bullet holes in
the walls that had been made in raids
by cowboys and bandits when the
town had been 'shot up.'
"One time we were in the mountains
getting berries. It was very warm
and to protect the baby, I raised my
umbrella. This frightened one of our
horses which ran away and we were
helpless. Dr. Young decided that we
should go four miles to a cottage he
knew of and on that trip we had to
cross a field where hundreds of cat
tle were grazing. The remiping horse
had never had a woman on its back
and It w-as a tlskllsh animal anyway,
so . while going through this field I
had to walk while Dr. Young, on horse
back, rode between me and the cattle.
"Life at that place was truly pion
eer. YV hurt in nun our fruit In hi.nr
bottles the tops of which had been
broken off. When we left that place,
a church had been built and there
were 38 active members.
After leaving there- we went to
Chattanooga, where Dr. Young took
ins iimuiuKicHi courtse. e were mere
three years and lived on $$00 a year
cut of which we paid college expenses
Alter tnree years there we re
turned to Lander. W-yo., where Dr
Young found a church. He had gone
on ahead so my two babies and
had a stage ride of 150 miles over
the famous Deadwood trail from Raw
Una to Lander with not a drop of
good' water all the way. Coyotes fol-
lowthe coach and made life miser
able. The day before the coach had
been held up and robbed.
"We remained there 15 months and
men movua 10 onenaan.
"While In Sheridan. Dr. Young was
'taken" sick with pneumonia. One night

; Mrs. Benjamin Young.
after a long vigil, a neighbor woman J K-
came to the house and told me I must
go to her place and geti something to
eat. Before going I wanted to give
him a dose of medicine, tso I picked up
a bottle and poured out a tablespoon
ful of the liquid which '. he took.
" 'That's funny tasting stuff,' said
Dr. Young in great pain, 'I don't be
lieve tha't is the right stuff."
"I looked at the bottle and to my
dismay found I had given him a dose
of liniment that contained aconite,
chloroform and belladonna. I rushed
to the drug store and afjked: 'Is there
anything injurious in thi liniment you
left at the house?" j
" 'Why asked the druggist. '
"'I have just given ;Dr. Young a
tablespoonful,' but the I druggist did
not wait to hear more. He ran to the
house at: top speed, calling to her
to get the. doctor."
A stomach pump was pressed into
service and Dr. Young- was saved from
death. The doctor afterwards t61d Mrs.
Young that the internal "application"
of liniment had done what external
application was not doijng.
"We were then transferred to Chey
enne," continued Mrs. Young. "After
three years at Cheyenne, we went to
Denver and that ended, our pioneer
life. From Denver, we went to Salt
Lake City, where we lived In a house
formerly occupied by Bishop Wooley,
a noted Mormon, and from Salt Lake
we came to Portland."

Henry Otisi Dwight, recording secre
tary of the American Bible society, of
New York, hias written a pathetic ap
peal to the people of the United States
in behalf of, the stricken district of
Thrace, where It is said there are
thousands of I sufferers.
Thrace stretches from Silivria on the
Sea of Marmora to Enos on the Aegean
sea, "and contains a population of about
160,000 people. After the second Bal
kan war the! Turkish government be
gan to send back to Tflrace the Mo
hammedan villagers who had fled to
Asia Minor from the armies march
ing to "Drive! the Turk From Europe."
Just before winter set in the Greeks
began to send out of the district of
Palonica the iTurkish families who had
fled into that region.
The returning refugees found hun
dreds of villages missing. Few of the
people have lany money; their year of
journeying bias worn to rags their
scanty clothing and few have any store
of food. j
C. A. Ryant who investigated for the
Constantinople Red Cross, says: "At
Malgara 388 families had lost the
breadwinner.' Between 400 and 600
widows and Orphans are utterly help
less. Fifty-six families are in the
streets or huddled in corners of ruined
houses." Mopey can be sent for these
people to the! American Constantinople
relief committee, room 29. Bible House,
Astor Place, New York; or East River
National bank. New ork; or to Hon.
O S. Straus, chairman of the commit
tee, 5 W'est Seventy-sixth street, New

WHAT MEMBERS OF CHURCH
AND CLERGY ARE DOING
Joke Turned on X,ovland.
Dr. Frank L. Loveland, of Topeka,
who is to arrive neft week to assume
the pastorate of the First M. E. church.
was at one time summoned as a wit
ness before a grand Jury In Kansas,
aifd thereby hangs a tale.
At a recent Methodist conference In
a Kansas town. Dr. Loveland had. as
his guest a bishop from New York
and several Kansas ministers. A pri
vate session was being held in a room
at the leading hotel, of this town, and
not being ended at noon, a porter was
sent for to bring their dinner to the
room. After the meal was ordered the
porter, not knowing they Were minis
ters, said: "Do you want a little some
thing to drink?"
Dr. Loveland told the story on the
bishop, thinking It a good Joke, and
a few days later he was greatly
shocked to get a letter from the dis
trict attorney, asking for the name
of the hotel, stating thai he wished to
hold a liquor inquisition, as Kansas is
a "dry state."

plans are being male by the bishop
ror the construction of an Episcopal
home for women at the , university,
large enough to house 30 women, and
Which Will h rMdv lv' Jinitar -
1916. The new'buildlng Is to cost at
icaai id,uuv- . j
onouia me nuiiaing dc considered a
necessity, work will be rushed on It.
The plan Is to construct it at the cor
ner of University street and Thirteenth
avenue, east, In Eugene, on a lot
owned by the Episcopal church. The -plan
was first suggested a year ago
but was dropped during the time of
the unsettled conditions of the uni
versity. Funds will be raised by floating a
bond Issue of $15,009, selling the bonds
in Eugene and In Portland. A holding
company will be formed to take charge
of the property and, the women will be
charged a sufficient -amount to pay
per cent on the bonds.
Speaking of the project Bishop Scad- -ding
said: "As I go about the state
snd meet the mothers of young wom
en who would like to attend the uni
versity. I am asked, what sort of sc-
commodatlons their "children can" oh- .
tain .here, if they -do not 'make' a so
rority. Many are not wMUng to run
the risk of getting any sort or a home
to live in. so the plan of a home sim
ilar to our St. Helen's Hall in Port
land was conceived.! The home will bit
in charge of a house mother, the -beat
of food and all conveniences will be
provided, for a reasonable charge, say
$25 per month, which Is about an av
erage charge, no.w made at sorority
houses. l-jt a much lower cost than at
the University 'Of , Washington and
other colleges."

Sometimes evil is but good which
has gone astray. .The length of the
vine on the ground! shows how high It
might climb towardfh'eaven.
'
We have heard of broken wills In
the name of religion. But. really, one
does not nee3 a broken will any more
than he needs a broken arm. .We need
wills in harmony with God's perfect
will. Then comes heaven, ' here and
now; for heaven means harmony.
Nothing Is quite natural- unless It be
somewhat divine.
No one is really religious until his
will is permanently fixed In truth, and
positively exercised Mn love toward God
i and all mankind.
