May 18, 1873, and settled on an unimproved farm five mile south of Salem, where he "hewed out of the forest" one of - the best farms Jn that vacintty. which is now in the midst of - the famous prune belt. - In the eaily eighties Mr. Robert son moved from the farm into town that the younger children might have better school facilities, as at thlt time, it was necessary to go from two to rour miles to scnooi. Mr. Robertson was widely known throughout this part of the State, as during 1875 or 1876 he drove over Marion, Lynn, Polk. Yamhill and Clackamas counties and sold vehicles and farming implements for the pion eer hardware merchant of Salem. Thomas Cunningham. . He afterwards built the Red Star Flouring mill at Turner, which plant h was operating at the time of bis death In the early nineties. There are still livinr nla hrnthor and one sister.

MONTELLO EVACUATED BY AUSTRIAN TROOPS (Continued from page 1) expressed by Mr. Baker that the de feat could not help bnt Influence greatly the course of events In France. It in regarded as vital from the German point of view that tbs Italian front be made secure before German designs In France can be prosecuted to their fullest develop ment. While there 1 imminent dan ger that the Austro-Hungarian gov ernment may collapse Germany can not devote hersedf wholly to the task she has undertaken of forcing victory in the west before American man power can swing the scales finally against her. For this reason, both at the war department and la diplomatic cir cles, there was much speculation as to the moves to support Austria al ready taken by the German high command. There is little doubt that reports of large German troop move ments to Italy are well founded, as It is believed that the situation roust be restored at all costs unless the whole great offensive in France is to fall of Its own weight. The German promlem If rushing troops to Italy is a difficult one. The transportation of a sufficient force to orfset the Italian vlctery must necessarily be slow. RETREAT IS DRY. ROME. June 24. "The enemy wUl try to represent the retreat as spon taneous," says a semi-official not a Issued this evening eoncernong the fgibting on the Italian gfront. "but as a matter of fact, the Piave at the moment of the retreat was almost dry, a circumstance which enabled the enein yto get a large part of his troops across the stream. If a ford ing had been lacking and if he had been obliged to count on pontoons painfully thrown across the river un der the Italian fire .his losses would have been still more appalling than they were.

Especially gratifying to the mem ber of the club is the enthusiasm manifested by the tepresentatlve peo ple of the city, by the Cherrians as an organization and by musicians and music lovers generally. As an appreciation of the splendid efforts of J. W. Todd, director or the Apollo club, and of Its members, most of whom gave liberally of their individ ual time and talents in the production of the Cheriian minstrel show, the Cherrians have voluntarily taken it upon themselves to patronize and boost, the Apollo dab concert at every apporunity. Considering even that the Wednes day night performance will be the Initial public' appearance of the club as a singing-organization. It Is freely predicted by friends who have been present at some of the club's rehears als that the boys are sure to make a splendid lnpresston and that foun dation will have been established for a permanent and increasingly effici ent made chorus, one of which Salem can look npon and refer to with pleasure and pride. It is felt by the members that they are especially fortunate in having for their honorary president and sponsor Justice George H. Burnett, who with his characteristic energy has shown a lively Interest in his proteges. Jndge Burnett has honored the clnb byy his presence at several of Its -ecent rehearsals and one - one of these evenings the singers were given an exhibition of the jurist's well known, spontaneous patriotism when. after the had sung for him "The Kil ties' March." he jumped to his feet and gave his approval with a liberal appaluse. !

"I didn't want to." Clyde always said. 'l forgot" to put his toys In the play-cupboard when ha had finished playing with them. It was much easier to run out doors and leave his blocks or engine on the floor, where he could begin playing again when he came in. "Be- Mdos," he reasoned. "Baby Mark likes to play with them when I've gono to school." At noon on his birthday Clyde was playing on the floor, with his "dis sected'' map and pictures when the bell rang, and not waiting to place them in their boxes he left them on the library floor. He was practicing hia games, for his teacher. Miss West, was to have a "birthday" supper and spend the evening with them. For Clyde had looked forward to the time when he could show Mi as West how quickly and correct he could place every fiece of the map la Its proper place. In seven minutes Ume! Less than his mamma or papa. Cor they had tried it! He was sure he coald win over Miss West tonight. They often cut np all sorts of pic tures and pat them togethef again. Then he wished his teacher to see how well h played the "Gaesser Game" which he and papa had "maa- factnred" themselves. , Every large or small animal, bird. fish, or insect p Ids re which was of no value u any one they raved. The t S r iJ " " l n ft . large pictures Clyde would carefully cut out. Then papa or Clyde would hold up the back of the picture and the other would guess the animal by the shape of IL Then they would cut the heads', legs, and sometimes tails from the smaller pictures and by looking at one pait of the picture, guess the- animal by the one part. Clyde felt cure of winning this game, too. So that evening after Clyde had helped clear the table, when maronra said, "Now, son, you can bring out your games," It was with a mischiev ous grin that Clyde went to the top cupboard. "Where are they, mamma? They're not here." They must be there. Did yon have them out today T" "Baby Mark must have scattered or lost 'em. I left them on the floor." Clyde whimpered, shame facedly. "I'll hunt em." Upstairs, downstairs, la my "lady's chamber" where baby Mark was -snooslly" sleeping they all looked, but not a scrap of the map or pic tures was found. Even In the cold air register and In the cellar under the clothes chute, back of the piano. In corners, crevices, and cloaets! The empty boxes were lying under the book-case near where Clyde bad been playing. "I was busy in the kitchen and was not la the library after Clyde left. And there was no one here but the minister. Nor was Mark out doors," mamma said thoughtfully. "He couldn't have swallowed them all." Clyde d.rawledr 4 WhyT Baby Mark or the minis ter?" papa asked, at which they all laughed. "Tis queer. Indeed. The menagerie must have escaped and carried off the map. aa It's certaia they're not In their cage. They're dissected from as. sure enough." ' Toor Clyde could scarcely keep the tears from showing la his eyes, and his tones were tear? the 'remainder of the evening. "Oh, If I had put them away," he kepj, thinking. As a parting word Miss West add ed. "When yon discover the old or manufacture a aewnenagerie and a map to live on. I'll come and play with them." Afterward, while they were excit edly talking about the wanderiag game." the telephone ranf. It was the minister, and what do you think? With many laughs, apol ogies, and Questionings the minister informed them that he had the whole map and the menagerie. lie had tak en them and didn't know Itl That was the strange part of It! And hew? . A few minutes before, he had gone to his overcoat for a packs gs he had received oa his ronnd of afternoon calls and found the dissected pictures la the pockets of his overcoat. Baby Mark had busily and careful ly put them together in the coat which mamma had placed on a chair. just Inside the library door, out of sight from where mamma and the minister were sitting. "Sort of a Joke for a minister to ran away with a menagerie," mamma laughed. "Yes. and carry the map off, too, so we couldn't find them." papa added. . Clyde never forgot the "put sway" lessoa of baby Mark's "pat away game, as they termed IL Sunday School Times. - HOME-MADE HAT TRIMMINGS. - The Ingenious girt with skillful finger earn make very pleasing trim mings for her . hats.' by utilizing scraps of silk, v el ret, broadcloth, rlbboa. gayly colored yarn, beads, ete.

Next cut a small circle of yellow velvet, gather It near edge, pull up this thread, then stuff the circle with cotton. Do not use too much cotton as this yellow circle Is to be flattened down.
