Etnor Jay always, bad known this,
fcut he nvr realised how vary trus It
is until-he heard Old Man-Coyote's
story of trouble that a little careless

ad 'admitted to Sammy that the rea
son he had not stared In the great

seemed ' to think wss so noon better
than the Green Meadows, was because

work for Bammy ' to belter that, for
hadn't he seen Old Man Coyote find
and die vd all the traps set by Farmer
Brown's Boy. traps so cunningly hid
den that they would hare caught any
one else of whom Sammy could think?
- Old , Man Coyote saw right away
how hard .it was for Sammy to believe
that that was true. It nattered mm.
But something inside hint urged him
to tell, Sammy the troth, even though
afterward Sammy might not think him
so smart. ? - .
"I was oareUes said be. "I know

as much about them as I do now. but I
was careless. And that goes to show
that it isn't always how much w

taken me . where they were set and
showed me Just how to find them, and
dig them out without getting caught.

a bad thin to be strong headed!" Old
Um Povott shook his head mournfully,
"After a while I thought I knew It

anything to learn. Having learned- all
about traps, excepting how they felt.

Man Coyote grinned as he said this),
-i wasn't afraid of them, and used to
laugh at th man who set them. The

laughed at him. I could always tell

how far It would shoot. When he bad

was thrown aside by man and they as
sisted the ladies, who abandoned all
household duties and cleaned ; the
building and surrounding ground to
be used for the better babies' contest.
Ladles of the clia distributed apples
among the workers and Jovial remarks
made the work lighter. Tha efforts
of the ladies, who have worked aa la
boriously, are most noticeable in the
improved appearance of the streets.

Halloween was celebrated at the
Patton Home Saturday evening, and
everyone was highly entertained
through the kindness of Mrs. Robert
Clark, assisted by Miss Holtaman, Mrs.
James B. Rogers, Mrs. Freeman and
Gordon Holtxman.
The reception room was effectively
decorated, giving a weird appearance
to the time honored occasion. One
broad shouldered and stalwart "spook"
was the center of attraction for all
the ladies. At the close of the pro
gram light refreshments Were served
to fortify the Inner man against
dreams of "hobgoblins and spooks."

Storm of Applause.
Schubert's seventh symphony In CL
which formed the first half of the
program. Is a brilliant but lengthy
composition ind so Conductor Bayley
wisely cut a few repetitions. And It
could probably have been pruned
little closer without harm. However.
It was beautifully rendered and the
end brought forth a veritable storm of
applause.

Portland, Or., Oct. 29,1914.
Mr. S. Blumauer, City 't
, Dear Sir: In response to your inquiry regarding '
my views on the prohibition question; I desire tdi states
that I HAVE NEVER BELIEVED IN OR ADVO
CATED STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION. However, it
is plain to me that we will eventually have prohibi
tion of some kind or other all4over the entire country.
In that case, I would advocate National prohibi
tion of the manufacture of whiskey after a period
say of ten years which time would give the manufac
turers an opportunity to dispose of and liquidate their
interests, and also an opportunity to engage in some
ofiier business. At the same time I would suggest
that a reasonable compensation be allowed for the
actual loss for plant and property made worthless by
such prohibition. ; i
IT HAS BEEN PROVEN THAT STATE' PRO
HIBITION DOES NOT PROHIBIT, and that CON
SUMPTION OF LIQUORS IS AS LARGE TODAY
AS IT EVER HAS BEEN IN THE PAST, Milder bev
erages, such as beer and wines, I do not consider harm
ful to any great extent, and I SEE NO REASON WHY
THEIR MANUFACTURE OR CONSUMPTION
SHOULD BE PROHIBITED ,
