Some of the folk who live here have immigrated from the southern mountains. Their slow gait and pronounced drawl betray their origin.

A saintly woman gonei The passing away at her home in Salem early last Thursday morning of Mrs. M. N. Chapman harks the mind of the writer back to August 18, 1884, when he took charge of The Statesman newspa per, and the few days prior thereto. S - He lacked by $300 enough mon ey with which to pay his bargain ed part of the purchase price of this newspaper. M. N. Chapman loaned him the $800, on his un secured note, on the recommenda tion of the then County Judge T. O. Shaw, father of Mrs. H. C. Ep- ley, the wife of the well known dentist, "Doc" Epley. Mr. Chap man and the writer had not be fore been acquainted, but Judge Shaw had in pioneer days known his father and mother. S Thereafter, as long as he lived, M. N. Chapman, familiarly known as "Mem," was one of the first friends of the writer of these lines, and upon his death, on May 5, 18 S 9, it became his sorrowful duty to announce the news of his passing. He stated in the newspa per article then written, that Memory Noble Chapman was born in Pike county. Ills., August 19, 1845, and would have celebrated his 44 th birthday had he lived a little more than three months longer. The 1889 news article went on to say that he was a son of Cap tain Wills Chapman, who came with the 1847 Immigration, in what was known as the Oskaloosa, Iowa, covered wagon train; that the mother of his four children, "Mem" then being next to the youngest, and aged two years died in the Grand Ronde valley of "camp fever;" that the father planned to spend the winter at the Whitman mission, but moved on when suitable quarters were not found thus escaping the Whitman massacre; that he came on to Oregon City, and in the spring of 1849 settled in Salem; that he became a leading builder constructed the first plastered house in the capital city, on the 10c next to tne soutnwest corner of State and Church streets, op posite the present First Methodist church, and that he was the fore man of the force that built the first Marion county court house, wnere tne oeautuui second one now stands. It was - recorded that "Mem" Chapman had lived nearly all his years in Salem; that on Christmas eve of 1868 he married Jennie Thatcher in Salem. Rev. P. 3. Knight performing the wedding ceremony. That before he was of age he began clerking in the of fice of his brother-in-law, George A. Edes, county clerk, and was afterwards deputy clerk under Capt. Edes, and served In that ca pacity for 12 years. That for a time he was the clerk at the Sl lets Indian reservation, and that he was elected Marlon county clerk in June, 1834. and was re elected in 1888. The children then were Mrs. George Mack, nee Loru Chapman, now of Los Angeles. May Chan- man, now Mrs. Lot L. Pearce of Salem, and Miss Oda Chapman. Miss Oda remained with her mother in the home, 723 North Church street, up to the time of her passing. Mrs George A. "Edes, sister, at the time of "Mem" Chapman's death, was living, in the family home which is now owned and occupied by the fam ily of the late Dan J. Fry. The funeral services of "Mem" Chap man were conducted by Rev. P. S. Knight. These lines are quoted from the news article written the day of the funeral: "He wa3 a most af- leciionate nusDana ana ratner. a true friend and an honest and upright man. He never performed a mean act in the whole oL his usetui nie, ana never spoke an unkind word undeservingly. His life was an open page on which there wer no stains." Mrs. Chapma the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Thatcher, was born May 26. 1852, in Iowa, as the emigrant train with which her parents were traveling halted for a time. The family first settled in California, but they came to Ore gon in 1857; 75 years ago, first making their home in the Siletz country, then comlag to Salem She united with the First Congre gational church of Salem March 4, 18S6, and remained a faithful and very helpful member of it to the close of her life; thus for 1 years being associated with the church of her choice. That church was only 14 years old when she became identified with it, having been organized July 4, 1852. No other member has been for so long a time a part of that body. It will be observed fiat her nearly so years or lire pracllcaliy cov ers the duration of the church's existence: May 28, 1852; July 4, 1852.

Since the war the chief occupation of foreign ministers Is conferences. They are as busy with "conference" as vies presides ts of banks, film companies and in vestment trusts.

And seeing all those things I was very young then, Ted it seemed to me that the trame could be played to still another tune. ana it seemed a thing well worth trying.

The nrst year my law-abiding enemies took away a waterhole. that was mine, and two hundred cattle died. Before the year was out, five hun dred cattle had been stolen from those same gentlemen ana sold at good price across the pass. I kept very exact accounts in those dara. and, as they robbed me in one way I took from them in another. One year, in an effort to force me out. they had all of my cattle refused for shipment A month later their n. master was held up and six thousand dollars taken from him. That more than balanced the little matter. "Meanwhile, I was awakeoing the Mexican peon. This world offered him nothinr. but I did. I offered him manhood. I raised uo his eves.

That same bright morninr Men- doza, patron of the glittering palace of dance, was standing very submis sively before a limousine drawn uo outside his patio. Mendoza's black eyes glistened with excitement Not for months, he was exclaimin in voluble Spanish, had he been so hon ored as now. Never before dared he even hope that Senor Paco Morale might pay a visit to his unworthy place. But he was desolate that the senor had come in the morning, for now au was silent: vet if he would do him the favor would he not take a glass of SDanish wine to refresh him? Morales listened noocommittally to the fellow's talk, while his eyes passed leisurely over the low. adobe building that, like some gigantic can dle ot tne desert brought human moths of both countries to its nightly allure. At last Morales raised his hand and Mendoza froze to respect ful silence. "You have here, I am told, many beautiful women, no?" The little tnnkeeoer's eres took on a cunning, knowing look. Now they were getting somewhere. Now, he assured himself, the old fox talked business. He raised his hands in a wide gesture. "Sefior, there are wo men here who would make the great saints weary of paradise. I have here the beauty of manr nations. For the dance there is a girl from the boule vards of Paris, a girl, you conceive, who has just come to my palacio. Her little foot " "Let us not spend this delightful morning talking of a woman's foot Especially the foot of a woman who does not interest me. Again Mendoza sank into a de spairing silence. These lords of thm land, they were so dimcult, qui va, yet one must somehow please them. Meanwhile the tow, incisive voice went on. "I am interested in a woman here who ungs. They call her Ann." Si, si The American. Her real "Why should we seek real names The name I speak serves. I want to see this woman now.'' "I shall tea her you are here, seiior. Yet it is, you understand. quite early.

Leisurely Morales imoed hi win aad considered things in which Men doza had no part At the end of tea minutes Mendoza led htm upstairs and down the darkened hallway to a ciosea door.

" j "Come in, sefior." He noticed with aa artist's sathw faction how low and full the voice was. He watched her walk to ths chaise tongue aod curt up comfort ably, and he noticed with a Vttk smile the Jade slippers and the bars. slender ankles. At last he seated him self near the window. "Perhaps," Morales suggested, 'you have heard of me?" "She smiled. "Who has not?" She watched him for a while with those calm eves that to him seemed reiled either in sadness or weariness. "They even tell me men fear you, Sefior Morales. "Men, yes and some women." "I wonder why?" Again their ere fenced. "It may be they have sufficient reason. But never a beautiful wo man as you are," he added. "May I smoke ?" She held the match for him. then asked, "I am wondering if you came here so early just to tell me that?" "By no means. It has bees long since I first sent you word asking a? I might come, and it has been some weeks since you wrote me that I might Many things have prevented.

She reached for a cigarette. "Who is EI Coyote r Her heart jumped, but the hand that held the cigarette never wit. ered. Ia contemplation the carefuQy blew out the match and laid it dowa. She nodded. "Yes, yos would ha willing to pay for that knowledge, wouldn't you?" "Seguro. And rather handsomely." CTe B CaetiaecO Many beautiful words of tribute have been paid to Jennie That cher Chapman, some ot them by Rev. W. C. Kantner, her pastor for so many years, who, with Rev. J. R. Simonds, the present pastor of the First Congregational church, conducted the funeral ser vices on Saturday afternoon at tho Rigdon parlors; all of them true words. S What was said of her husband nearly 45 years ago might be ap propriately spoken of her, as to faithfulness, honesty, friendship, and the other attributes that make up the character of a good man or woman, living a full and successful li.'o. She was a great lover of the beautiful things ot nature. Her flower garden was a little para dise, from which went to the church, the hospitals and the stricken of many homes beautiful tributes of lore and friendliness, bestowed through the dictates of an overflowing heart. For such offices of charity and love, year after year, and In cases almost without number, Mrs. Chapman will be long remembered through out -the whole city. In all this she has had the help ot Oda Chap man, like her saintly mother in such sympathetic ministrations and benefactions. . e "e An interesting side light on the character of "Mem" Chapman was the fact that when his will was probated, and termi of it publish ed, it was found that It was so plain that It has been copied, to the knowledge of the writer, by scores ot Marlon county men, some of whom have already pass ed to the other life. It made over to his widow all his property, with only necessary legal reservations, and named her executrix without bond, requiring only the simplest forms of administration. Mr. Chapman had, as county clerk and deputy, seen to many troubles over the terms of complicated wins, ana mounting expenses, that ho decided that in his own case he would avoid them all. Parker.
