ELECTIONS FOR 1908.
Registration reopens Sept. 20.
Closes for election Oct. 20.
Presidential election Nov. 3.
In his second battle Bryan car
ried only four small Northern
states. The probability is that
he can only hang on now to Col
Tado, with a fighting chance for
Nevada.
The green fields of the Willam
ette valley are rapidly becoming
golden, but they are not burning
up, as are those in eastern Ore
gon. Just good weather for ripe
ning the crops.
A farmer living near Lodi,
California, skipped out last week
with the wives of two of his
neighbors, leaving his own wife
and eight children without a pro-
- tector. That must have been a
triple case of brain-storm.
The big fleet of U. S. battle
ships is now swinging at anchor
in the harbor of Honolulu, hav
ing arrived there Thursday, and
the natives are spreading them
selves in a successful effort to
give their visitors a reception
worthy of the occasion.
TheHjppner Times complains
that the reports of the damage
resulting from the freshet in that
locality last week were greatly
exaggerated, and says the total
loss in the city will not exceed
$500, while the copious rainfall in
the adjacent territory did more
good than harm.
Using the phonogranh as an aid
in running a national campaign,
is a new wrinkle, and it will he a
feature this year. An eastern
phonograph firm has secured rec
ords of several of Bryan's efforts
and is endeavoring to persuade
President Roosevelt to contribute
to its collection. However, it is
said that Teddy is not in favor
of the scheme.
At a conference of democratic
leaders from all parts of the
country with W. J. Bryan, it was
decided to leave Roosevelt alone
in the coming campaign. There
is an old saying to the effect that
Discretion is the better part of
valor." But, how about that
anti-Roosevelt plank in the Dem
ocratic platform?
Twelve hours after a Chicago
minister prayed for the destruc
tion by fire of a liquor resort,
the building was set on fire and
burned to the ground. Now the
police are hot on the trail of the
prayer-answering individual who
applied the torch, and the minis
ter will be lucky if he escapes
arrest for instigating the crime.
The markets reflect the jdea
that a nominee who has lost
twice will be apt to get'' even a
harder jolt the third time.
A distinguished medical man
holds that the real secret of per
fect healch is to be found in
walking on the hands and knees.
He says that this is how we were
intended to walk, and that the
erect attitude of man is a mis
taken and comparatively modern
innovation. According to his
view, a good steady walk of four
miles in and four miles out on
hands and knees every day would
bring every muscle of the body
into full play. N doubt, but
most of us r refer the good old
scyie or locomotion when we

THE FAVORITE ROOM.
Mysterious Popularity Attaches to This
Alluring Nook.
Most houses of the slightest preten
sion have a favorite room. Popularity
is its distinguishing feature. It need
neither be the smartest nor the largest
nor the best furnished, but is possess
ed of attractions that are entirely inde
pendent of the painter or upholsterer.
The builder may have had a say ia it.
nowever, and the architect.
It is much easier to describe the "fa
vorite" room negatively than positive
ly, but the whole genus have one
marked peculiarity thev erow into
ivhat they nre of themselves. Xo cue
was ever so clever as to make a fa
vorite room by trying to do so. The
thing Is impossible. Favorite rooms
become what they are of their own ac
cord. Very often they begin quite hum
blythat is, they rise in life like sol
diers from the ranks. In novels the
"favorite" room has nearly always
tne same origin. It was once the
nursery and ends by being an apart
ment sacred to taffy making by the
heroine and her brothers and sisters.
but in real life superannuated nnrspr.
ies are generally refurnished and turn
ed into smart boudoirs or extra bed
rooms for the growing up family. One
thing, the favorite room is never bv
any chance a gloomy room.
Indeed, it is altogether alluring. Bali
frocks for the youns ladies were "run
up" in it and always came out suc
cessful, students for the stiffest ex
aminations "read up" In it and never
failed to pass. In short, the room was
as comfortable as It could be, and
good luck appeared to cling to any of
those who took it into their heads to
use ft.
NEEDLEWORK NOTES.
A deep 'ruffle added to the lower edge
or ine gingham aprons used in the
kitchen is a great protection, so many
grease spots seem to get on the bit of
the dress skirt showing below the ordi
nary apron. Tbf ruffled aprons are. be
coming and picturesque.
For summer porch cushions get a
good grade of Bulgarian linen and
work them with the Wailachian stitch.
The patterns need not necessarily be
large, elaborate or highly decorative.
A neat monogram In one, flowers in a

the third would make three good pat

the work.
A girl who paints china will find that
a breakfast tray set is a much appre
ciated present The set consists of a
tray, a teapot, sugar bowl, cream Ditch
er, hot water jug, cup and saucer. It
should be painted to match the cre
tonne in the room for which it is in
tended. One objection to the porcelain
tray Is its weight. In that case a
wooden tray may be substituted, or n
tray of Japanese lacquer may be used.
