Joseph Yates is a'violinist, and there is a new baby bov at the home of his neighbors, Mr. and Mrs A. L Stevenson's.

Rushing into the room he heard at the front door the melodious tones of a violin. Amazed' at the evidence of his ears, Mr. Stevenson opened the front door, and there on the steps stood Mr. Yates, violin in hand, a lantern standing on the floor by his side. Paying no heed to the invitation to come ia, the violin ist, played his tune to the last note, calmly picked up his lant ern and disappeared in the dark ness.?. It was a serenade to . the new heir, and the parents, realizing the kindliness of the muscian's nature and appreciating the hum or ot the performance as well, were delighted. by the unexpected honor, and voted Mr. Yates the most jovial as well as the kindest hearted gentleman in this or any other town. Bruin Devoured Fruit. Driven by hanger from the fastness of the Cascades, large numbers of bears have emigrated below the foothills, and in many instances are said to be destroy ing property of the farmers living in the thinly settled sections of the valley, says an exchange. In many places ranchers have suffer ed the loss oftheir entire orch ards. This year the berries and other food which the bears are ac customed to forage on are much scarcer than in previous years, so that bruin is forced to seek the valley to secure food. . Qn the Rolfe place, three miles from Foster, a large orchard was completely wrecked by bears' a few days ago. It seems that the animals entered the orchard dar ing .the absence of those on the ranch. When Mr. Rolfe arrived some days later to pick his fruit all that remained was the bare branches of broken down apple and . plum trees and numer ous tracks of beats. Investiga tion showed that at least seven bears had visited the orchard. Miss Mae McDonald -a. " v, ij I as Isadora in ' 'A Royal Slave" will be seen at the Opera House next Thursday night.
