Playwrights and theatrical producer predict the return of the costume play and the swaKhbuckUn melodrama. Hut the youngster of New York seem to have realized thlt prophecy In their guinea. Wooden swords, umbrella rib dag gers and crossbows have supjdanted dummy rides and barrel stave urtil lery ide.es that were popularized by the World war. Sword play, with lih kory rapiers and fragile crate-cover cutlasses seem to have asserted a romantic appeal over Infantry charges and vocal "hlng! hangs!" The vacant lot Is no longer no man's land, hut a rock-strewn heath or a tin tun Infested moor, where Krnnkie and Johnny would "do each other IS mortal combat as Spaniard and , Dutchman In the lowlands." There Is more realism In the sword than In the pistol, with which one must say "Iiing!" Hung!" Hock piles have become castles afej the fashion of the Arthurian legends and lance armed knights guard drawbridges of planks or old doors over Imitation moat. Pittsburgh Dispatch. Last fall O. L. Bemice drove his flock of (sheep .down from thc grazing lands in the Mount Adams forest reserve to winter quarter near White Salmon, Wash. In a fog he lost 40 head and a dog was missing. No trace of the wanderers was found in a week's t'iligent search. Recently the dog lurried up at the house with 3!) sheep, all but ono having wintered some where under the guidance of the watchful shepherd. Sheepmen are at a loss to account for the fact that the dog was able to keep off predatory animals, for in winter wolves, cougars and coyotes prey continually on sheep. You can't always tell about a dog by his looks. Once there was a dog that nobody claimed. He had no pedigree. His bones almost pierced his flesh. His head and tail hung at htlf mast. He had a bruise on his hip from a man's kick, when some body salvaged him. He cringed and trembled when anybody attempted to touch him. He was an outcast, a wanderer, an Ijshmaelite. A 'time came when his owner wouldn't have sold him for all the gold that was ever mined. Given a square deal, this canine outcast be came, for the good deeds he did, a famous dog. The sheep dogs of Scotland an guidew and defenders, ' not only of the sheep flocks but also of the children of the crofters. But for these born shepherds of the weak and defenseless it would be unsafe for the children to go far from the lonely and isolated crofts in the outlying dis tricts. The schools are far away, and it is a long, rough journey across the moor to the school and back again. So the sheep dog goes along with the children, carrying their books and safeguarding them on their way. Over the dog's back the books are slung, and so long as there is life in his body no harm will come to the children or their belongings. The dog is better appreciated since ' iha Wnrlft war Wiih Vintmr.f- mn. ' " ' j teen and kit the war dogs ministered I to the wounded and helpless on the i battlefields, passing from one wound- j cd soldier to another, slaking thirst i and carrying the first aid thatj saved thousands of lives and relieved infinite suffering. In memory of his service a heroic statue of the war dog, designed by a famous sculptor, has been erected near White .Plains, New York. It is a monument to a friend that never fails.

An old tlme tragedy of the Central Markets, I'arls, bus been recalled by the death at an advanced age of a once rich woman, who for many years made a poor living there overturning garbage cans and selling anything of value she might be able to find there in. Her name was unknown, and for nearly half a century she was merely called "Princess." Fifty years ago it was fashionable for persons of high society In I'arls to pass a riotous night In the enfes and stalls of the market. On cme occasion u fashionable womnn. one of a gay party, was robbed of money and Jewel, persumably by her escort. Left eiuii!es. she refused, for rensons easily surmisable, to com tnunlci re with her husband or her family In central Trance. Instead she sought employment and gradually fell Into er ireme poverty. She got her nick name owing to her Invariable habit, when asked about her former life, of reply! 'ig: "Ask no questions; I am a prlnct-is from a far country." Smiling Porches. Mo,e houses are being built with IncJoaed porches than ever before; you mny walk down long streets of dear Utile homes whose porches smile at you through tiny panes of glass. You puss medium-sized places with grounds, comfortable houses set back from the road, and large mansions in every one somewhere you catch the glimpse of an enclosed porch-room Old-fashioned houses follow suit, and back of the rounded Colonial pillars are fitted smaJl-paned glass partitions that Inclose the porch as efficaciously as though It had been built that way in thu beelnnlng. In the summer these are lifted out, leaving the porch as before. The Designer. Canada PuahinQ Honey Industry. It Is expected that Ontario's honey crop next season will be marketed largely on the co-operntlve system, as a result of the activities of the committee appointed recently by the Ontario Hee Keepers' association, and with the assistance of the Ontario government. The honey will be graded and have a registered brand for the protection of consumers. Each pack age will have a distinguishing number, by which It enn be traced back to the producer. Snails in London Restaurants. English ofllcers who served In France during the wnr acquired In many cases a tnste for frogs' legs and snails hitherto unknown to London menus. W'tipn they returned home they demanded the same tidbits In London and now both frogs' legs and snails are conveyed (laity from France to London by airplane. Some of the London restaurants nre doing an enor mous business In serving thesb two articles of food. STUMP BURNING NEAR FALLS CITY IN MAY Utilization of many hundred of acres of logged-off lands in the vicin ity of Falls City, in the western part of Polk county, is planned. Stump burning demonstrations' are to be held there beginning early in May. The demonstrations, which are to be held by the extension service of the Oregon Agricultural College in co operation with the county agent, will show a modification of the char pitting method. The bowl of the stump and entire root system are destroyed. The land-clearing move ment is becoming of increasing im portance in this county, where large areas that have been logged over are now lying idle. Owners who have considered the expense of holding these acreages have decided to take steps to improve the land, as it is be lieved that some tillable land can bei made to result. If the plan Io be shown at this demonstration proves successful, many farmers who have smaller tracts to clear are planning to adopt it. Dallas Itemizer. FRUIT MEN WANT COLD STORAGE IN PORTLAND At a Meeting held in Portland, Monday, representatives from practi cally all of the" fruit districts of the Northwest, .Including California sat with the Portland dock commission. It was the purpose c this meeting to place before the commission, the needs of the fruit interests of the northwest of suitable cold storage facilities, which would enable ship pers to hold fruit at Portland without loss, before making shipments by water. This would prevent "dump ing" of fruit, eliminate the cause for excessive cargoes and would tend to equalize the market. This will not impose a burden of expense on the growers, but will rather cause an In crease in returns due to better methods of caring for the fruit at terminals. According to C. I. Lewis, who represented the Oregon Growers Cooperative association, the outlook is very optimistic and it is expected that definite plans will be made at a later date. The committee on the advertising cf the Northwest boxed apple met at Portland, Monday, to outline plans for this season's advertising. Practleally all apple districts sign ified their intention oi combinng in this project, except Wenatchee. A sub-committee will be detailed to Wenatchee to solicit their cooperation in the matter of advertising. "Un less all districts can get together," said .C I. Lewis, chairman of the committee, "the campaign will bo dropped until next year." C I. Lewie, chairman of this com mittee presented his resignation due to his leaving for the east. C. A. Swigart was elected to succeed him. It may be true that a faint heart never won fair lady, but not ever man wants a fair lady, some are sat isfied with brunettes. Drs. Hewett & Knott.
