The Ashland Tidings relates that the
little two-year-bid daughter of J. K.
He! man and wife, of the Ashland bak
ery, had a narrow escape from drowning
last Saturday. With her sister, five
years old, and several other children,
the little one was playing along the
bank of the Ashland mill race in the
old orchard above the mill. - She fell
into the race and the swift current car
ried her toward the mill. The older
sister ran at once to the bakery for help
and Mr. Helman hurried up the hill to
the race. When he reached there the
child was not in sight, but he followed
along toward the mill and finally found
her standing up in the current under
the covered flume just where the water
takes a 30-foot fall down the funnel to
the turbine wheel. She had been car
ried a hundred feet along the race and
flume without being strangled aud had
managed to gain a footing and keep her
head out of water until her father ar
rived. A ecreen . prevented her from
being carried down the shaft to the
wheel, but if the water had been turned
out the waste gate, as it frequently is,
she would have been plunged to certain
death, for there is no screen at that gate.
It was a miraculous escape, and after
the 'little one was carried home and put
in warm, dry clothing, she was found to
be none the worse for the experience. .

mory hall was a scene of beauty. . The
decorations of the previous night were
still on the walls and the floor was in
superb condition. The attendance was
large and each was "fall of the music of
dancing." The members of the orches
tra have earned well merited praise and
thanks from every one who has attend
ed their parties. Their courtesy, will
ingness to oblige, and the superior man
ner in which they render their produc
tions have made these dances scenes of
pleasure and pleasant memories. Last
night the orchestra was at its best and

encores. The personnel is as follows:

REPUBLICAN CLUBS.
Enthusiastic Gathering In the Chamber.
vf Commerce.
Oregonian.
Surprising activity was manifested in
the convention of Oregon's young men's
republican clubs, which met in the
chamber of commerce yesterday. It
was the signal gun of the campaign, and
the deafening roar it made was eignifi
cant of the long-pent-up feelings of the
business men ot the state whose interests
have been . endangered by the recent
change." The representation from all
portions of the Btate exceeded the san
guine expectations of those 'who con
sidered themselves informed. It was
clearly evident that no cut-and-dried
program had been arranged for the con
vention, for it was everywhere sunder
stood that nominations were to be made
in open session. ' "This is not a matter
of politics With me," said one man, "but
purely a matter of business. The
country is going to ruin, and my busi
ness with it, and I, for one, am going' to
try to stop it." The general opinion
was that Oregon, must set the key note
for the campaign, as it did six years ago
and that the industrial salvation of the
community depends upon the success of
the republican party.
The convention was called to order at
10:40 o'clock by President Thomas H
Tongue. In the evening he was intro
duced to the convention by Vice Presi
dent Beekman. President Tongue ad
vanced to the front of the platform amid
loud applause, end for - half an hour
roused the enthusiasm of the delegates
and kept them in continuous expressions
of approval with a speech full of happy
ideas and delivered with grace and
eloquence.
PERSONAL MENTION.
Do you see the bare-headed man?
Yes ; I see the bare-headed man.
Is not that his hat that the wind is
carrying down the street? N
Yes ; it is his hat.
Why does he not go after his hat?
Because he is a wise man and knows
that there are are two good reasons why
he should not. - -
What is the first reason? ' .
It would make him appear ridiculous
and people would stop and laugh at
him.
Do people always laugh when they Bee
a man chasing his hat?
Always.
Is it not better to let them laugh than
it is to lose the hat?
But he will not lose the hat.
Why not?
Because some one else will chase it.
Does that always happen? ,
Always.
Does not that , make the other man
appear ridiculous?
It does.
Why does he do it?
It is human nature..
A wise man, then, can retain his
dignity and get his hat? .
He can.

The following is told of a pair not a
thousand miles from this town, says an
eastern exchange: A young lady who
was troubled with the too persistent at
tention of a boresome young man, played
a very shabby trick on him the other
night. "Here's an original game.
Take this pencil and mark' as I say,'
says the young lady. "Make a row of
11 ciphers, make a perpendicular mark
downward at the right of the first, fifth
and tenth ciphers, and upwards on the
left of the fourth, seventh and eighth.'
Then she asked him to read what he had
written. Try it and you will see why
the youth beat a hasty retreat.
