"Did you ever bear about the time
the Liberty Hell was stolen?" asked
oNew Orleans man at the Capitol the
other day. "It was early lu the spring
of 1SS.". The expoiltlon win being held
at New Orleans nnd the bell had ben
loaned to the exposition. I remember
well the excllemeut the theft occasion

next tnornluil with startling headlines.
'A Dastnrtlly Attempt.' The Kmblcm

"ijist nlirht was a sorrowful one
In the city.' It said. 'When Hilladcl

by the famed city of the Hast, but by

particularly, responded warmly to this
evidence of brotherly lovo onvnu y
the second city of tho republic'
"A long account of tho reception of
tho bell and the care taken of It fol
lowed, and tho Times-Democrat said:
'Tho spot on which It stood Is n scene
of havoc. The car that boro It Is halt
consumed by Ore and Its ruined tim
bers tell n story of wanton destruction
almost without parallel. The trees that
stood over It are no longer graceful and
grand; half devoured by lire, their

his amazement tho bell was gone. Not
a vestlgo of It remained. It had been
wrung from Its fastenings and carried
off.'
"Thcro was more detail about the
search and clow. Naturally tho citi
zens and tho thousands of visitors nt
the exposition were Indignant. Tho
entire population discussed nothing clso
that morning and tho cars were not
sufllclcnt to carry the crowd out to tho
grounds to see the ruin wrought and
learn tho latest clow. I could not get
a car and walked a dlstauco of four
miles and was an hour getting through
tho gate.
"Tlio noxt Issue of the Times-Democrat
said: 'Everybody takes a Joko good

STUDENT LIFE AT OXFOflD.
Wlint Vomnf Americana Who Uo There

Ill undergraduate life at Oxford tho
student from America will find many
interesting features. He will, no doubt
bo assigned to a college rather than bo
allowed to choose one, as the will of
Cecil Ilhodes expresses tho desire "Hint
tho scholars holding the scholnrshltH
shall bo distributed among the colleges
of the University of Oxford, and not
resort lu undue numbers to one or more
colleges only."
There aro twenty-two colleges In tho

considered, aro equal. Iteasons of rank
In life, of parental or local associations,
of wealth, of religious tendencies,
rather than reasons of a purely aca
demic n n lure, lead an Kngllsb boy to
choose ono or another of these colleges
The colleges differ In externals. Homo
of them aru rich, others poor; some of
them nre comparatively largo three or
four hundred students others very
small; somo are expensively carried on,
others Inexpensively; some nre "tiass.'
others aro "reading" colleges; some have
high residence fees, others low: some
have no craduato students, and one.
All Bonis, no unilergfndunto students;
somo have superb buildings, others
plainer; and one, the Non-Colleglate,
has no building at all, and hardly any
raculty, being governed by the univer
sity through a conimttteo called a "del
egacy for unattached students." liut
an one of tbeta colleges will be
worthy foster mother to the under
graduate. Tho student will pay his fees
to his college, and will be watched
over by It throughout tits whole course,
lie will not get all of his Instruction In
lecture rooms, for the community
of interest Idea has penetrated modem
Oxford, and for certain subjects the
resident student will be apt to go to
another college, but his student life
will ho mainly within the college walls.
He will, If fortunate enough to get
one, have a room on one of tho "stair
cases," will be served by the "scout."
who will bring him his breakfast, will
dine In stato In the hall every evening,
will worship In the college chapel, and
will shorten his walks abroad so that
he can get within the college gates be
fore they close for the night. He will
row In tho college boat or play on tho
college cricket team, and will have a
pedal adviser, a college tutor, to whom
he will look back with gratitude and re
spect nil the days of his life.
Ho will And Oxford as expensive as

expenses, for tuition, board and dally
living, exclusive of books, clothing, so
clctlrs, sports and luxuries, will vary
from a minimum of f.VX) a year to m
maximum dlllleult to estimate. Of the
colleges, Keble. Jesus, New College nnd
Woreeslor make special effort to nld the
student In economy; Christ Church,
University, Magdalen and Haldol are
tho most expensive; Itrascnose, St

In an Intermediate position.

An Incident of the ceremonies at the
unveiling of tho Itochambcau statue Id
Washington, I). C, went for to prove
that the American flag "stays put."
When the Countess Itochambcau pulled
tho halyard which caused the flags
draping the statue to drop, every ves

of tho American flag, which persistent
ly clung to n part of the work sur
rounding the stntue. "Tho flog stays

President In nn undertone, and tho
President, remembering his words.
smiled broadly. The French flag read
ily gave way the moment the ro;o was

spectators who were Inclined to take
tho Incident as an omen.
Captain French K. Chadwlck, IT. S.
N., who was commander of the flag
ship New York during tho war with

son was deeply and unaffectedly re
ligious, and adds: "He was a strict
observer of Sunday, but the fact that
once, nt least, he forgot the days of tbo

which tho duty In bond always seized
him. Having cnlleU the captains aboard
for continuation on the 4th of Juno (a

the conference: 'I am going In to-morrow
to attack the batteries, to have

FRIEND TO THE FARMER.
To tho Editor We have noticed in
your paper from time to tlmo, daring
tho prerent rearon, some extremely in
structive and interesting articles on
Binding Twine.
Permit us to add a few words today
witii special reference to our own influ
ence in this market. Tho "Farm Im
plement News," ieiuo of July 17, gives
the following prices of twine as tbo
prevailing Eastern prices to tbo deal
ers: Mill Itm-M... IS ccnta a round
Standard (iXMt) 13 rente a pound
Manila (-ft)...... . li4 centi a pound
Manila (SOO-fi) 13', cenla a found
Manila (G&l-ft) 17 ceuU a pound
While it is perfectly true and fair to
say that wo would bo justified in
charging one cent in advance of Eastern
prices for oar twine of Oregon manu
facture, that is, the tho price of freight
added to Eastern prices, as a matter of
fact, Pure Manila, Ited Clover Leaf
Brand, 650 feet, we are quoting to tlio
dealers under date of July 15 at 1U
cents per pound, or one cent below the
prices quoted foi Eastern goods.
Taking everything into account, it
seems reasonable and appropriate that
wo call attention to the fact that, al
though many people entertain the be
lief that we aro grinding monopolists,
demanding all we can possibly get for
twine, hero we are in the midtt of an
important and strenuous seat-on, offer
ing our goods at ono cent below the
prices Eastern dealers aro obliged to

EDUCATE YOUR BOWELS
Don't neglect the slightest sign of irregularity but
see that you have at least one natural, easy movement
a day. Pills, salts and black draughts are dangerous
because they strain and weaken the bowels. What
you want is a mild but sure tonic laxative, that tones and
strengthens the bowels and stimulates their movements.
Such a laxative is CASCARETS, and when you
try them, you will find that it is the easiest thing in
the world to make and keep your bowels clean and
regular, strong and healthy. Sample box 10c, Month's
