More properly, the suggest ed law ie to put a stop to the practice, more or less prevalent, of a person entic ing the cook, housemaid or other domes tic from the employment of another family. In taking this lead in household reform, be holds ta the belief that such a law is sorely needed. It would, he thinks, go a long way toward solving the perplexing servant problem. If the ex periment proves successful, householders throughout the country will doubtless insist c n their municipal authorities passing a similar regulation. Might ap ply this idea toother than servant help, alsc. Ex. The Krebs brothers, hop kings, -recently determined to add to Oregon's reputation as to its poultry product, and with this laudable object in view, thej sent a man up to the Yakima country to some famous poulterer to get a thorough bred Clydesdale, Norniarr- Pereheon, or some other breed of rooster to lead their flo:ks and do the crowin for the firm. One was selected end purchased, the price being $200, which anyone will ad mit is a good price for chicken, even though served in a French restanraot. The rooster was brought down in a box in the express car and turned loose in the nulntial nnnrtnrs Drovided tor him. He . - seemed all right and perfectly satis6ed with his surroundings, but on the third morning, when Krebs' went out to the chicken yard, tV-e first thing that met his gaze was the $200 bird flat on its back, its curled toes tticking np in the air as though warding off some ghostly enemy, and stone dead.

C. team under the name of Garish, says a Spokane dispatch to the Journal. Cherry was selected on the ail-star team from the Oregon Agricultural College, and claims that his reason for playing under an assumed name is simply because bis parents are opposed to his flay frig on the gridiron. The rule of the A. A. U. reads : "An amateur becomes a professional when (I) he enters a competition under an assumed nam.", or (2) when be enters a competition open to a professional or knowingly competes with a profession al.'' According to tba rule, Cherry is now a professional ana the . Afiole W.S. C. team stands a chance of being profes sionalized.
