John Marshall, ai-conling to ciTtnio people, was not only a fisd and a snob. bnt most exclusive specimen of the i two claxaea John Marshall had his theory: ) "1 noderstaud the fool to be be who Invents unfiling in thouuht or dee'd.

And thus I am designated an exclusive fool and snob. Hard luck!" f He had inherited a conditional tor tune from bis father. Another was of fered him wheu he should have olieyed the conditions of that will proposed to Jaue Cristowell, whose father had been the junior iu the firm of Marshall & CristowelL Jane was iu nowise averse. John led a german divinely, was called au Apollo by girls and had exquisite taste tu china. John proposed Jane was happy, and it would have been beneath her self re spect to faucy that John was not. She bad conferred upon him beauty, some brains and a future. With ber for a wife, he wonld in time be "the husband of that lovely Mrs. Marshall, who gxs to England every season, my dear, and dines at Sandriuguam. That there might not be too much prestige given his name over against her own Jane determined to be presented at court before her marriage and ou the way pick up ber trousseau. So iu early March she carried her determination into effect John bade her gooilby ou board the Adriatic, aud was so attentive iu the matter of flowers that her beauti ful eyes brimmed over, and. watching for him ou the slip as the ship steamed out, spun her biggest bouquet toward him and hit another man with it, which man politely bowed his thanks to her. She laughed and John laughed, and so in merriment she left her native shores. "Papa," she said at Sandy Hook. when the vessel began to roll, "I wish I were not going, or that Johu were going with us though that would scarcely be the thing. I wonder if he will be lonely without me?" Old Cristowell grinned at the idrifr of John's being lonely for old Cristowell articled John as au expedient only, so Jane bit her lip and looked over to a viscount who was dying to bo presented to her. Yet John did miss ber. It is possible that he could have loved Jaue aud Jane loved him had their respwtive fathefs let them alone. There was no saying how much they might love each other once they were married. lor a week after the sailing of the Adriatio John bunnted the clubs and yawned aud was mure of a fool than ever in being bored so easily Then he disappeared, and people missed him and wondered if he were not more thuu they had made him out to be. Ha had beeu suddenly seized with active satiety tho passive had long been his. Let him get away from it ail. from the nsualiries and ordinaries without Jane they were garish to a maddening degree. Let him go to na ture, if it could be found, although he much doubted its existence. All of Murch he wandered atxuir. from quiet country nook to quiet country nook. Villages grew to know him. At Leaning on the till. Katco rough handed sous of the soil wonld see him gazing at them as they delved in the fields. Children w ere on the alert for the shower of pennies lie tint about them. A serums young wom an once attracted his attention us he laughed with the little ones, and she went on with averted heail "No nature eveu hero." he said "Thatyouug womuu 'a seriousness spoils It Am I so far down in the scale that 1 have no sphere? The people are glad to see me here 1 doubt if any one was glad to see me iu town, whic h ar.e.-j that there mnst be a place, whi n I tit in." The serious young won.au had bored him. He went to farther wilds for a ooupb of weeks. Then oue early morning be straggled into a wafer washed hamlet whose rndenuss told him that U this were not the place in which he would fit to try farther wonld bore him tc death. ' It was May now and little flowers tprang tap about his fevt. There was a lowly hone. an old mas fitting before its thrivlvild weaving Beta.

"I'll engage it without seeing it, "re turned Marshall, ou the defensive. She looked at him oddly, her light blue eyes doubtful. She reached and t'xik his bag out of bia hand. "I cannot," he said in a tone of voice which would have made thoee who knew him laugh "1 cannot on any account permit you to carry my bag. " The blind grandfather guTawed. "Sho s stronger 'n she looks," he said. "She's made a quick bargain 'bout the room. Let her carry the bag.

"Wnaten?" He had forgot Polly, fie turned and fonud her regarding him. "I do not need you," he said. "Thank yon fur carry in the bag, " she stammered aud was gone. Strange to say, her words startled Marshall. He had discovered something for tho first tiine in bis life a girl was grateful to bim that he bad recognized his physical strength aa superior to her own. Ho Boon had occasion to ascertain that no one considered bur weaker than the strongest Not her blind grandfather, ivho, sitting by the door weaving his nets, bade her bring in loads of wood, and the like, which would have been emingh fur two such as she; not El Drear, the moon faited miller to whom sho had plighted herself, but whom she refused to marry in the coming June, although in the winter she had prom ised to do so. "Somehow me aud ber gran'daddy cain't make her do it nohow, " said the miller to Marshall when he had poured into the city man's ears the story of his woes at ter that same city mau had with much freedom asked the lover the mean ing of a very noticeable coolness ou the part of the lady of his choice. "I cain't make her!" her grandfather cried. "It'll be the first time, then. Didn't I make her see yonr points, 1? Her go ag'iu me, indeed!" Here was a tragedy. In the presence of tragedy all men are equal. Marshall had found his sphere. He looked over at Polly gathering vegetables iu the garden, a suubonuet obscuring her face, and she was the heroine of the tragedy, (iood for that, he would study the hero ine He did so in his desultory fashion. Ho watched her for several weeks. All at once it dawned upon him that he had seen ber before he bad come to her home. "Merciful powers," he exclaimed, "were she and I affinities in some pre vious state of existence!" Mr. Marshall," said she one day, when, smoking his cigar, he stood out side the kitchen window leaning on the ill, she irouing inside, "I'm obliged to tell you somethin. I was to Katco, and one time I saw yon givin the children money. " Her face was red, perhaps from her labors He recollected the passing of the serious girl at Katco that, then. was the previons state of existence. It was disappointing. Upon my word, Polly, said he. "I rather thought you were not un known to nia I remembered you with out la-lug able to place you. " "Did you now, she asked excitedly. "really aud truly?" "Really and truly, " be answered sol- tmnly, "and 1 am sorry that it was at bo anterior date to Katco.

Polly, to make nnhappy those who love yon. " She let the iron slide across the table aud confronted him witb folded amis. "Did he dare to tell yon to oome to me?" she demanded. "I have found my sphere Indeed," Marshall murmured, knocking the ash from his cigar, "when Polly accuses me nf being Mr. Drear's beat friend and perceives no incongruity in that fact " "Whatdoyou say?" she asked. "Are you makin fun of me?" No longer fierce, ahe bad drooped, n us leaning drearily upon the ironing board, her chin upou her breast "Why. Polly."

' PA IIAYSEEII" H KITES HOUF Sargmnt . L. McAlister, Co. A 21 Or. Int., but Pup "Hayseed" when he played center ou the (. A. C. football team writes to his father and mother fr in Honolulu. The I.MK PENDENT has been H-miltted to see the letter and herewith prints it for the olmervations upon his uew trade the ienple with whom he ha a -so ciatid since leaving America. Honolulu, June 2, !! Dear father and mother Well, to begin this letter I will say that 1 am wellj and 'nj;jiSf - ;..! lna Wheu we left San Francisco our t-iue was limited aud I hardly had i port unity to write what I did. am now with my company am have more timeto myself. In re garJ lo army life, all I can say is that it is not ,hard and much fietter lliau I ex peel d all alone.; but ex pec to go through many tight places tie fore 1 see my native land a.'iiin, am will say further that I remember hearing patriotic speeches all patriot ism spoken of by people who nevir went through much and they liked to speak of it but I know now they know nothing about it. It is not pleasant I'eelitig to think that at any time we may bo blown up by i Spanish shell. We arrived here safe last nigh after a .seven days' ride without i stop, I was seasick like all the rest for three daysbut after I became well, I could never get enough to eat Cur rations were issued threw times a day, but nothing; for a sick man to eat. There are times we have nol enough to eat, and oilier times plen ty uothing to be wasted. So long as we get what we do I will be satis fied. Honolulu is 2100 miles from San Francisco; the island is of volcanic formation. The soil is the same as in Oregon, so is the rts-k. The is land is SO lunej and 3 miles wide; il contains ns much laud a the other 13 Island combined. Honolulu is the largest cily in thu group and htis 50,000 inhabitants who are of every nationality on earth almost. Eng lish is the prevailing language, while nearly all can speak the native tongue. The climate is about the same the year round; it ranges from 6.V to 90 F. Noon is the hottest time of tht day. All kinds of tropical fruit grow the year around. I would judge that it would not be a good climate for an American lo work very nurd and be able tostand. Its.vins an ideal place just like a green house, Long before we came in sight of tho city, strange as it may seem Old Glory could be sisii waving high on the mountainside.

I hapia ned to he of the first to go on shore to set foot on foreign soil. Everything was decorated with American flags, and everything was free for a blue coat. Eight thousand dollars was raised for our entertainment. I never saw people so free with everj thing ia my life. Tomorrow is the great day, a big parade and shore leave all day with plenty to eat. I do not like it much for I am afraid of this hot climate and Manila I oOO miles south; the reception there will not be mi pleas ant as we have received at other places. I will not go on the parade tomor row for my left ankle is sprained and I can not use it at all. I lei il go ) too long tiefore I did anything for it. It wa done the other night while I was eoiporal of the guard: was posting two sentries' in the en gine room. While going down a hatch way the two sentri.s fell on top of me; the sea was rough that night. I had to go to the hospital on account of it. I want to go out to the harhHeu' tomorrow, and hoj my foot will Iw strong enough to stay under me though I have some doubt. Friday, June 3, ISils, It was as I expected had to stay aboard all day.

There are some very home sick boys as Is always the case. Across the bay about two miles the prison looms up and one can see it after night because of the electric lights; Just a little way east are the battleships. They are a great thing, a solid mass of steel.

They say it is a sad sight when they go to t ike them away once a month. Not more than 200 yards from us is a genuine Spanish vessel, a freigh ter. She is a three master, a trimed ship, and has been loaded for a mouth, but dares not leave the har bor. She wonld be a rich pri.e for some one. The people here that are natives are, as a rule, more intelligent than our Indians. 1 have been watching them work all day; they are very lazy, move Just enough to keep at work. They resemble a negro very much. I like to hear them sing iu their native language. They play the guitar and banjo which makes heir music sound very nice. The women are very good looking while ycung but as they grow old they are very ugly; at thirty to me they look to lie eighty. When at sea we had to take a bath every day in sea water, it is a good thing, so we keep clean n the hot climate.

CAKE 01' THE VY0LS0E0 IS SAVAL WAKEIAKE. One of thu most difficult problems to be faced, iu the event of war, says The Medical Record, will be the care and treatment of the wounded in and after naval battles. That the decisive fighting; will occur at aea is, in the opinion of most competent military experts, a foregone conclu sion, and therefore every possible effort should be put forth to provide adequate accommodation and proper treatment for those who may be wounded. The fact that a battle ship of the modern type is, even in time of peace, sadly lacking in the necessary facilities) for caring for the sick is too well known todwell upon, and it follows as a matter of course that these conditions will when war I in progress be sharply accentua ted. In truth, the outlook as regards this phase of the situation is by no means pleasant to contemplate. Little is known of the effects of modern naval warfare on a large scale, but from the slight exrience gained in the China-Japanese war it is certain that new methods of treat ing wounded men in action must be initiated, aa well as of caring for them subsequently. In the days of wooden ships, those requiring sur gical treatment were brought to the urgeon, in the modern man-of-war, iivided Into numerous compart uents by steel decks and water tight doors, such methods are im (Mis si hie, and other means of succoring those in need of assistance must be It-vised by the surgeons. Again, the position of the surgeon will be one ot tnucn greater personal danger than was formerly the case; he will not be able to fix upon a particular spot where he can perform hi necessary luties, but must be wholly guided by circumstances and must choose a heltered place in the ship anywhere uost convenient. Ills equipment and the means of transporting the wounded must be of the simplest. Hut the question of how most efti- iently to care for the wounded after the engagement is perhaps more im portant than during the action itself. It will be impossible to give them the needed care and treatment on the ship itself, and in many instances the distance from land will be too great for the service of a hospital to lie available. It would appear there fore that an ambulance ship chould satisfactorily supply this want. The suggestion that an ambulance ship should accompany every fleet on ac tive service was first made by Dr. J. Uufus Tryon, formerly Surgeon General of the Navy. Dr. Van Reypen, the present Surgeon-General, read a paper strongly irging its adoption at the Moscow international medical congress), in which he submitted plans of such a -hip. Thee are as follows: "The ve-wl as designed will be three thou sand five hundred and fifty ton dis placement; two hundred and seventy tive f t on the load line and three hundred feet over all; with twin screws and a speed of fourteen knots; rifty feet beam, and drawing eigh teen feet; a coal capacity of four hun ured and fifty tons, giving eighteen lay' steaming at ten knots.

Luckey, of Eugene, found a $5 bill wadded up in a small space. It looked as if it had been exposed to ut least 20 winters of rain. It was takeu to the First National bank, and the clerks were able to make out a few words on the margin "Five dollars." It was sent to the treasury department, and on Wednesday the bank receiv ed for Mrs. Luckey a bright, new, crisp 15 silver note in return there for. Several rejiorts that liquor had been sold to minors were brought to the attention of the recent Linu county grand Jury.
