Verses 16-21 In what class do you
place those who profit by the sins of
fallen women
This young woman was possessed
with a very clever spirit of evil, an all
round spirit, of deception, Including
fortune telling; row wherein did her
ein consist, and that of her owners? ,
Which are' the more to be blamed In
these days, fortune tellers or their
willing dupes? v
.When bad men are losing the gains
of their evil occupation, are they apt
to be careful of the truth, when they
are after the good men who have de
stroyed theln business? -For example
the liquor dealers.
Verse 22 What made the multitude
so angry at Paul and Silas, and Is any
reliance ever to be placed 'ipon the
excited attitude of a large crowd
Do religions differences still make
the people hate one another?
Does worldly gain, tn-dav nlay .my
part In religious Intolerance?
Verse 22 Why did God permit such
cruelty to his faithful servants?
Why is It that godlv nnple often
have to go through very exquisite suf
fering? Verse 24 Say why It I" possible for
any good man In prlsor. lyine upon a
raw back, with his fee fast In th
stocks, to be as happy as t. n.an in
henlth ar.d at liberty?
Poes a good man's Influence ce8a
when he Is Imprisoned and his limb
are fettered?
In looking back over the results of
his Imprisonment, would Paul aid
Silas be apt to regret this painful In
cident? Verse 25 Is there any circumstance
so painful, or disastrous, that prayer
and praise cannot turn It Into Joy and
victory?
If we prayed and sang more In our
private lives, and In our families,
would we have more Joy and gladness?
Verse 26 Was this earthquake the
result of the prayer of Paul and Silas,
or was It a natural event?
Does God today work out for his
people, practically the same results as
are here recorded? '
Verses 27-28 Why did the jailer de

Portland Letter.
Portland, Ore., July 6-Head-ed
by Governor Benson, hundreds
of people will go to Seattle this
week from all parts of the state
to attend the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
exposition on Friday. July 9,
which is Oergon day. There has
never been such a genen. 1 move
ment of Oregon people beyond
the state lines as is expected to
be seen in Seattle this week.
"Judging from the interest
shown in Portland, it will be
simply a question of how many
the railroads can handle," said
W. H. Wehrung, president of the
Oregon Commission to the fair,
Governor Benson will respond
to , an address of welcome by
President Chilberg of the expo
sition on the morning of July 9.
In the Afternobn the Oregonians
will hold open house at the Ore
gon building from 3 to 5 and at
night there will be a promenade
and ball in the Washington build
ing. The Portland festival Cho
rus, numbering 850 voices, will
attend and will sing.
Portland Day at the fair, July
20, also looks like a big day.
Special trains will be run to carry
the people and reduced rates
have been put in effect. A
special program has been pre
pared for that date.
Special 1 arrangements have
been made whereby all the ex
hibits in the livestock show , at
the Seattle fair will be displayed
in Portland the third week of
September during the show of
the Portland Fair and Livestock
Association. This will mean a
show of pure bred stock in horse,
cattle, sheep and swine divisions
greater by far than has ever been
seen in the state. The exhibit
will show the great strides of the
livestock industry in the Pacific
Northwest during recent years.
The annual show of the Portland
Fair and Livestock Association
will last from September 20 to
25th and the State Fair entries
will be on display as well as the
cream from the show at Seattle.
"We had at least' $1,000,000
worth of stock here last year;"
said Secretary Wisdom of the
association, "But " applications
from stock farms of the Coast,
Middle West and Canada already
received make it certain we will
have more than $1,500,000 worth
! of tf-e fanciest stock the breeders
of America produce. It will be
possible to arrange for a great
deal more comprehensive display
this'year for the expense of ship
ping exhibits from a distance will
be minimized and distributed be
tween Portland, Salem and Se
attle." Bend had a Fourth of July cel
ebration that was probably the
most unique in the country be
cause of one great feature, a
trout barbecue. There are num-

On the eaRtern side of Geyner basin at the Alaska-Yukon-Piiclne exiMwltlon the liiiudsoine Manufactures build
ing looks across the restless waters of the cascades antl the flHsiilng foam of "Old Faithful." the reproduc tlou of
Its namesake in Yellowstone National park. Its location Is the most central of any of the exposition buildings, and
Its architectural design Is especlnlly fitting for the position It has been given. It was one of the first great exhi
bition palaces to be completed and before the end of lust year was ready for the reception of Its vast collection
of exhibits from the workshops of every nation of Importance In the world. It overlooks the finest of the forinul
gardens of the exposition, and Its splendid pergolas, with their vine covered columns und bloHsoinlug flowers,
complete a restful nnd pleasing view.
i erous places in the state that
'could duplicate it, probably, but
j where throughout the east could
such an affair be held? Bend had
I about 3500 trout served to those
I in attendance at the celebration,
certainly a splendid advertise
ment of Oregon's attractions as
j a fisherman's paradise.
The Oregon State : Teachers'
; Association completed its ninth
; annual convention at Albany dur
ing the past week. The gather
ing was pronounced the most
successful in the history of the
organization. An interesting and
valuable programme was given,
with many notable addresses.
The second annual convention of
county superintendents of schools
was held at Salem just preceed
ing the meeting of the state ped
agogues. A higher standard for
school work in this state was set
and many matters of mutual
helpfulness were discussed.

MORE COFFEE TALK
Dear Ladies:-
Nothing comes closer home to your husband than the
kind of coffee he drinks. Right here is where the problem of
taste comes in. and discriminating coffee drinkers are always
alert to get hold of a brand that has just the quality that goes
to the right spot.
But the problem does not end there, some brands are
one thing to-day and quite another tomorrow, and how could
you hope to please with such a brand.
It has always been my idea to get a coffee that pleases
and keeps the same quality day in and day out, year after year,
and my years of experience handling this coffee has proven
that we have it in Chase & Sanborn's Blends.
Don't forget the price twenty-five and thirty-five cents.
Once used, always used. We are getting boquets on this coffee
every day.
Yours'very truly,
T. A. Riggs,
builuinu, aLakm-i UKUN-rMCIHU EXPOSITION.

8om Troubles ef a Pianist.
Flnrold Bauer, the pianist, has had
some curious experiences during his
travels.
While playing In Bnrceloua he was
challenged to fight a duel by an ex
cited member of the audience whom
he had reproved for disturbing the re
cital by his noisy conduct On another
occasion, lit Italy, he had to be car
ried through an underground tunnel
to escape the attentions of frantic ad
mirers. One of his most extraordinary expe
riences was in Ilussla. It was In a
little town near Moscow, and In the
middle of his performance the pianist
was arrested by the police on the
grounds thnt be was obtaining money
under false pretenses. The police ac
tion was based on the grounds that a
Hungarian dance appeared on the pro
gram and that there were no dancers.
They overlooked the terrible fact that
Mr. Bauer had played two marches
without a single soldier being present.
