The Kind You Have Always Bought EHgaatWwef THE STORY OF KHAKI. A t-ASting Dye That Was Discoverad by Acc'tJent. Khaki, the olive '-.olored canvas slcth worn by solditrs in hot eli trates, owes its present use to a lucky accident, as is the case with many inventions. This cotton stuff has been worn in India by British troops for many years. Its tint was a greenish brown, but it always fad ed when it was washed with soap. A business man from Manchester while traveling in India chanced to enter into conversation with an English officer, who remarked care lessly that the first manufacturer who could produce a cotton drill that would not fade would make his fortune. The young Englishman never for got this hint. He came home, found a skillful dyer and with him began the search for an olive dye which when used on cotton cloth would not yield to soap or soda. They spent years in these experiments, all of which proved fruitless. One day they found among .sev eral scraps of dyed cloth one which retained its color under the most severe tests. The puzzling fact was that it had been cut from the same piece of cloth and subjected to the same processes as the other scraps, all of which faded. The two experi menters were greatly perplexed and for months tried in vain to solve the riddle. The one little fragment of khaki was the only one which kept its color against all attacks. By chance one day they found that the dye in which this scrap had been dipped had remained for a time in a metal dish of a peculiar kind. The secret was found. The metal of the dish in combination with the chemicals 'of the dye had furnished the one thincr needful. They tried the experiment with oth er pieces. The dye held, and their fortunes were made. '-Chicago Record-Herald. Fo Homing" tnstraron;,ai-i,,w1 "Mr. Whittlesy " said the city ed itor to the new reporter, "there's to be a meeting of the trustees at the public library building this even ing at 8 o'clock. You may go and cover it. Make a story of about 400 words out of it' The new reporter went away on his assignment, and the chief of the lonal donirfmPTlf fnrnpd ncnin t.O his desk, made an entry in the as-j signment book that lay before him! and dismissed tne matter irom nis mind. About 11 o'clock, however, he suddenly called out : "Where's Whittlesy?" "Here, sir," answered that young man, coming forward. "I sent you to a board meeting at the public library. Where's your story ?" "It isn't quite finished yet. You told me to make 400 words of it, and I've got only a little over 300 bo far." "What did they do?" "They met, called the roll and adjourned until next Tuesday even ing." Youth's Companion. Flat Odora. "If one could live on odors alone," said Mr. Flatdweller, "it wouldn't cost much to live in a flat. ' "For there's no odor of cooking known that you can't smell here. The dumb waiter shafts and the va rious holes throagh floors and ceil ings for steam and water pipes seem to make the whole building a sort of universal sviiell conductor in which no cooking odor is lost, in whtrh all odors come to all. "And so if anybody in fie bin-ding Has ro:ist turkey we know that, bat so. nla. do we know it in'! well if anvbody ha-; eo'Tiejl beef and cab bage or onion-; or fish. There is. indeed, a sur.Vit cf odors, and, as 1 said, if one could live on odors, what a plave this would be to board such a variety and how cheap!" Xew York SAn. The Soy Bean. The complaint is soifl&iirnes made that the soy bean does not enrich the soil to the same tstent as does the culture of the cowoea. Judging from the chemical composition of the two crops it seems possible that when both crops are removed from the soil the Boy bean carries avay a greater quan tity of fertility because the grain is so much richer hi nitrogen' than the grain of the cow pea. If. however, both crops are used for greea manur ing their chemical composition cannot produce a wide difference in soil im provement.

Governor Chamberlain today offered a reward of $4000 for the arrest and convic tion of the mnrt'erej of the.Casteel faBc - ily at Macleay, about two months ago.Junder the 'auspices' of the OAC says Friday's Oregcnian. The offer of the reward came as a complete surprise in official circles and can be accounted for only ' upon tbe supposition that the Governor has been informed by private p arties that they have a clue and are willing to follow it np with an investiga tion if a reward shall be offered. Sheriff Culver made a yery exhaustive investi g ation at ths scene of tbe murder and also secured a complete history of the family affairs and relations of the Oaa t eels and Mort Montgomery, the bired man. Culver was thoroughly convinced that Montgomery killed tbe CasteelB and himself, probably because he was in love with the daughter, who was about to be married to a man at Roseburg. The DU tri ct Attorney is aleo satisfied this is tbe correct theory of the crime. New York, Jan. 23. Daniel J.

A. Hollenbeck, sales man ager at R. F. Baker's Music store, Corvallis, next to P. O. The Jingle of Gold. "Bob" Taylor, the new Sena tor from Tennessee, seems to have a good grip on the situation. In a recent speech in New York he said, among other things: "The lust of gold and the hunger for power have ridden rough shod over liberty and love and law and hung their banners over every capital and every mart. The jingle of gold sounds even in the laughter of modern society, and the eyes of the church are jaun diced with it. We have become a nation of gold-worshipper?. I fear that if the American people, in their present spirit, were trans planted to the -heaven above, they would tear up the golden streets in three hours and levy a tax on the harps of the ""angels for the benefit of American industry."
