YOUTH IX FEMALE ATTIRE
STARTS LAUGH IX CHURCH
Steamboat Springs. Colo. Because
he could not find a girl who would go
to church with him, Harry Love, a
high school student, induced his
chum, Daniel Gooding, to don female
attire and enter the Methodist church
last Sunday night while Rev. O. T.
Gatley was in the midst of his ser
mon. The di.-igul-e of Gooding was
immediately penetrated by the mem
bers of the church, who began to
laugh so loud and long that the min
ister was forced to stop his sermon
for the time being. The next day
Rev. Mr. Gatley asked the city mar
shal to have Love and Gooding ar
rested, but that official refused. This
ended the matter.
FIXD PART OF A BURIED FORT.
(
Dlnoorery la Made While Rigging for
Detroit Building.
Detroit. Workmen excavavtlng yes
terday for a new "skyscraper" in the
heart of the business district at Fort
and Grlswold streets unearthed,
nearly six feet below the street level
a portion of the palisades of old Fort
Shelby, which occupied that site when
Detroit was a frontier village. The
section unearthed is about six feet
long and formed half circle.
PAID SALARY TO "DEAD"
MAX FOURTEEN YEARS
j t p
New York. After paying a salary
for fourteen years to William P. Lar
kln. the Metropolitan Life Insurance
company ha Just made the Interest
ing discovery that it paid on a policy
on his life and recorded him a dead
in 1S8.
During all the years he had been
thought dead Larkln wan working un
der his own name In the printing de
partment of the insurance company's
offices. It never occurred to him, he
says, that his life had been insured
or that his wife had collected his pol
icies on the supposition that he was
dead.
IXSECT EATS STEEL RAILS.
Italian Engineers Find Strange Crea
ture in Piedmont,
Rome Italian engineers have dis
covered a destructive insect that bores
into the steel rails and seems to
have the digestion of an ostrich. The
railroad line in Piedmont became ex
tremely rusty so quickly recently that
the engineers examined the rails mi
croscopically. They found In the steel
a dirty gray in color and about one
numberless worm-shaped creatures, a
dirty gray in color and about one
third of an inch long. Iron rust was
found In the animal's Interior, so the
engineers concluded that the almost
impalpably fine podwer it produces
by boring into the steel rails is its
food.
LIFE DESPAIRED OF; NOW 103.
Man Alive 78 Years After Doctor Pro
nounced Him Near Death.
West Royalston, Mass. Seventy-
eight years ago Donald Davis, a na
tive of this town, was dropped from
the Boston police force on the ad
vice of a physician who said that he
had but a year to live and if he
wanted to die at home he had better
return there at once. Mr. Davis has
celebrated his one hundred and third
birthday and he maintains that he
hardly yet begins to feel old. He
backs up the assertion by going al
most daily with his gun into the woods
and it is seldom that he comes back
without game. His wife, whom he
married in 1842, still presides over
his household at the age of 95.
WRITES MOTHER HE'LL HANG.
"IKn't Worry," Says Yonth Who Ex-
iwcts to Dlo for Murder.
Marion, Ind. Believing he will be
hanged. Cecil Fordyce, confessed mur
derer of Clarkson Willcutts, a mer
chant, sent a farewell letter to his
mother, Mrs. Elmer Fordyce of Der
ma, Miss. He signed it, "Your Dis
graceful Son."
"I had no money and no work,"
wrote Fordyce, who is 22 years old,
"and I came here and did this hor
rible crime. They all say I will be
hanged.
"Well, mother, I brought this on
myself and have been a disgrace to
you all my life so do not worry."
YANKEE DOES EUROPE
ON LESS THAN $100
Chicago Student Spends Seen Weeks
Visiting Five Countries on This '
, Limited. Amount. :
London. How to see Europe for
$100 is a problem that has been
solved by William Grant, a Chicago
student, who has just left London
after visiting five European coun
tries. ! '
' "I guess It could be done on $50 if
one really were careful," he told a re
porter before sailing for home. "Any
how, I've seen London, Paris, Hol
land, Germany and Switzerland, and
I'm still able to pay my steerage fare
home.
"I had six weeks to do it in, and it
will take me Just to the end of the
seventh. It has been a good holiday,
and I have learned a lot of geo
graphy I had forgotten; but of course,
I had to rough It a bit."
Like many other American stu
dents he saved his Atlantic fare by
sailing on a cattle boat, and this was
really the means of making the tour
possible. Although the work was
hard, Grant admits he enjoyed the
trip.
CHOKES WOLF To DEATH.
Lono Rancher, Unarmed, Lays Ani
mal Low When Attacked.
Meeker, Colo. A report comes
from Pyramid that Adam Johnson
choked a lobo wolf to death. This
species stands as high as a yearling
calf, weighing as much, and has al
ways proved more than a match for
not only the range cattle and horses,
but of any other predatory animal
that roams the forest.
Johnson is a ranchman of that sec
tion. An unexpected meting with the
animal, when he had neither knife
nor gun with h!m and immediate ac
tion was necessary, sent the ranch
man on the jump at the wolf's throat.
Johnson succeeded in getting a
hold before the wolf could snap and
killed the animal.

Before buying it may interest you to know that the best
producers are bred and raised right here in Eastern 1 Ore
gonit will pay you to investigate.
I have at the Commercial Barn in Pendleton a fine lot of Jacks, acclimated, bred
ad raised in Eastern Oregon, on the "Eastern Oregon Jack Farm" in Morrow county.
These Jacks, are of the best breeds and best producers in the United States. Jacks
that stand undefeated In the show ring In both Oregon and Washington. They have
produced mules that have taken all first and second premiums, with one exception, .
for the past 13 years. I have been breeding and selling for many years, and can say
- what no other seller or breeder can truthfully say, that I have .never yet sold a Jack'
that has failed to give satisfaction.
I have with these Jacks the largest yearling mule in the United States. I will pay
$500.00 for his equal regardless of color, that will make a mate. This mule was sired
by Black Night, Jr., that heads my herd of Jennets, and Is. also the sire of. all my.
- young Jacks under 5 years of age. All prices are right, and all Jacks guaranteed and
registered In the Standard Jack Register of America. v
