Sir William Cavendish, known in English history us the first Duke of Newcastle, was commander of King Charles l.’s tirst royal army in his contest with Cromwell. Sir William's second wife, the Duchess Margaret, wrote a life of her husband, in which she depicted him as a "most illustrious prince’* and in every respect the pink o f perfection. The work was supposed to be entire ly itut hen tic and truthful, for Sir Wil liam himself assisted in its preparation, it was published early in RM>7. and rnuuy complimentary copies were sent out. including one to Ylie officials of St. John’s college. Cambridge university. In acknowledging its receipt they wrote: "Your excellency’s book will not only survive our university, but hold date even with time itself, and Incontinent ly this age by reading your I took will lose Its barbarity and rudeness, being made tame by the elegance of your style and manner.” But old Samuel Pepys was not quite so favorably impressed. In Ills cele brated "Dlarv.” under date of March IN. BM»7. he made this entry: “ Staid at home reading the ridiculous history of my Lord Newcastle, wrote by his wife, which shows her to be a mad. conceit ed. ridiculous woman and he an asse to suffer her to write what she writes to him and o f him.” --Exchange E a t in g W Whin h e n T r a n ip - n g .

A well rounded ration Is worth two which are not so. The man who has this prin ciple firmly in mind has made a long step toward success as a field leader.— iMinng * night, at the C. I. C. Masquetane Ball, to be held in the Estacada Pavilion. Last year, many dancers re gretted not having given more attention to the planning of their costumes, but from present in dications it looks as though the Grand March on that night, will be one o f the most entertaining and amusing features that has ever been staged in Estacada. Owing to the seating capacity o f the hall, few spectators will get seats, as the dancers in then- grotesque, dainty and flowing costumes will take up more than their ordinary share o f room. This Masquerade dance will he the big event of the winter sea son and everyone is invited to be present in costume to join the merry-makers. Tickets for gen tlemen will be $1 with ladies free. Supper will be served in the hall and the Bronson Erick son - Belfils Orchestra will sup ply the latest o f popular music. Next Saturday night at Cogs well’s Hall, Eagle Creek, P h h - pect Drill Company, Portland W. 0. W. will give a big dance, in honor of the newly formed Eagle Creek Camp, to which all are in vited. A return dance is planned by the Eagle Creek Camp for Janu ary 22nd, when special cars will bring the visiting Portlanders to Eagle Creek. Bills are also out announcing a Xmas night dance at Cogswell’s Hall. Dont forget the all-night dance at the Garfield Country Club, to morrow evening, Dec. 10th.
