On Sunday her guests will start to arrive and by Monday the city will be filled with veterans of the Spanish War. They were invit ed here by the Rogue River camp at the wish of the people of the city. The local camp is making extensive plans for the entertainment of the visitors but the help of everybody is needed to make it go over as desired. The first thing to be taken up is the securing of rooms for the dele gates to the convention. It had becu intended to hold the convention near the Caves but the dry condition of the woods made it imperative to bring the convention into the city. Be cause sf that, many rooms will be needed. Hotel accomodations will not be sufficient to care for many. Private hemes must therefore be opened up to them. The rooms which are available should be listed with the camp so that the committee will be able to arrive at some con clusions as to what provisions can be made for the care of the guests. It is asked that the city be decor ated. Flags will be in order during the three days and merchants will have an opportunity of making some effective window displays.

But, alas, though rich In love and good looks, they were poor In the currency de manded by the butcher, the baker and the candlestick combine. So the man said: “Beloved, I love you too much to ask you to share a life of penury. I will work hard and acquire much wealth. Then I will re turn and we will he married and live happy ever after.” So the man departed. Now. the girl was of a Prartlcr.l na ture and she said to herself: “I, too. will endeavor to make some money.” So she considered what money-mak ing pursuit she might follow nnd she determined to start a correspondence college for women. She advertised largely In the press, assuring her sisters that she could teach them "how to be beautiful,” "the art of fascinating men,” "how to win and keep a husband" and many other subtleties. And before long she realized that she was a success and that her wealth was very considerable. Accordingly she wrote to her man: "Coma home. I have more than enough for both of us." But he rams not. For among the pupils of the correspondence college had been one living In that distent colony whither he had gone. She had found the courses of very great merit —for she bed learned how to be henti- tlful, she had fascinated the girl’s man, she had won him nnd there la no reason to suppose that she had not also learned how to keep him. to Portland low roundtrip fares $12.00 lo Portland and return, sold on Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays.
