M ay his fond est hopes be realized in this re spect. A subscriber makes a very good suggestion that where cement walks are laid the names o f the streets should be marked in the cement at the intersection cor-' ners. This is done in Portland and many other cities. Cement contractors will do the work without additional cost to the property owner and markings once made in- this way will be permanent. Corvallis women in meeting assembled” took solemn vows, signed, sealed and deliv ered, that during the coming season they would not purchase hats costing in excess o f $7.00. A deadly hlow at the high cost o f living, and now the husbands o f these self-sacrificing women will feel easy to g o to the store and purchase panamas for them selves that are marked down to tw o ninety-five.* The fellows who turn a deaf ear to solicitations to subscribe for a local paper with an air of contempt, never lose any time in rushing to the same newspaper man when they have a death in the family or other sorrow comes to them, and asking for space in order to reach the public ear. ' ‘ Wild Animals I Have M et” is not nearly so interesting a book as the average local newspaper man could write on the types'of people he comes in contact with in conducting his business. “ And now with other signs o f spring we again hear that the Rex-Tigard road is surely to be completed this y e a r . B y all means complete it, for it is cer tainly needed—by Portland and Yamhill county—but let the fel lows who use it and whose prop erty will increase in value because o f it, foot the bill.” —Hillsboro Independent. This means then that the farm ers who live along th e Rex- Tigard road and w ho have helped to improve the roads about Hillsboro, the county seat o f Washington county, and thus increase the value of property in that section, are not to receive any consideration at the hands o f the Independent. Charles H. Fisher has sold his interest in the Eugene Guard to his partner, E. J. Finneran, and w ill retire from 'the newspaper field after having spent twenty- five years in the business. The writer formed the acquaintance of Mr. Fisher some twenty years ago and has met him at meet ings o f the state press associa tion a number o f times since. He is a most agreeable person to meet and his ability as a news p a p e r man is well k n o w n throughout the state. One by one the old timers are dropping out of the ranks and giving place to new blood. Regarding his plans for the future Mr. Fisher say's: “ M y principal reason for re tiring from the business was a desire to take a real vacation. I have n o intention o f leaving Eugene unless I find it impossi ble to stay out o f the newspaper business. In that event I should be compelled to seek another location. After a trip to t h e south, perhaps as far as Cuba or the Panama canal zone, and through the east, I will return here, and perhaps build a home, as well as a business building on Willamette street. That, how ever, will be a matter fotvfuture decision.” WITHOUT A CITY OF REF- UGE. Babylon is fallen! The Nevada Senate on Tuesday, following the earlier action o f the House, voted to make one year’s resi dence in that state a pre- ‘quiste to getting a divorce there, and the governor has announced his intention to sign the bill. Reno, that city o f magnificent distances and alluring enchantments for all o f the misinated and incom patible souls o f earth, feels now that its career is ended, says the Globe Democrat. T h a t town alone made an organized opposi tion to the passage o f the bill. A large body o f its citizens, claiming that to break up the di vorce colony in Reno would be to ruin the town, have lobbied in both branches o f the Legisla ture and have importuned the governor tor a veto. Last week they threatened that if the wom en, .who are responsible for the measure, should succeed in get ting it passed, they would retali ate by organizing a campaign against woman suffrage which would make its success impossi ble. Apparently the suffragists were not dismayed by the threat, and the vote in both houses shows that the public sentiment o f the state must be overwhelmingly against the continuance o f con ditions at Reno which have dis graced Nevada, once an easy thing to do, but evidently becom ing harder since the hope o f the white race went down at Reno before a black man who has since made matters worse by trying to carry more o f the white man’s burden than any >vhite man has ever been able to carry. Since that dreadful day -Nevada has seemed to be thinking that perhaps being “ wide open” to people and things o f good repute would pay better than being wide open to things and people giving the rest o f the world a bad opinion o f her sovereignty as a state. When Reno takes her eyes off the divorcee who is accompanied there by the co-respondent in the case during the brief time in which they are to wait until the injured husband is arrainged in court, without being there, as a man lost to all sense o f gentle manly honor and chivalry; when she turns her attention to mak ing the wheels go around in big ger game^ than roulette; when she learns to play for big stakes with the queens and the knaves all in the discard, she will pros per so much more than she has done with marked cards and phonies that she will be glad to give suffrage to the women o f Nevada as a testimonial o f re gard. We are so sure o f this that the only question left in the case is the one o f where the dis consolate can go next. We can see for them now no city of ref uge anywhere. MILLET’S POVERTY. Pethetio Incident In the Life of the Great French Painter. Get Results It seems almost incredible that Millet, painter of “ The Angelus” and other now world famous pic tures, should have suffered from the poverty that forms the basis of the following story, but it is a fact that he did: One day, indeed, he found himself without food in the house for himself and his family. In his extremity his friend Diaz of fered to take two of Millet’s draw ings to Paris and make an effort to sell them. Evening came, the Mil let family anxiously awaiting their friend’s return. If he came back without the drawings it meant bread; with them, hungry to bed. Night fell, the family sitting in darkness because they felt they could not afford a light. At last they heard the stamping of Diaz’ s wooden leg as he crossed the little paved court and his lusty voice calling out: “ LightI Light 1 Where is the light?” The family hurried to light a candle. But even while the head of ¿hat.old. fashioned sulphur match was still sputtering Diaz, who was a Spaniard and noth ing if not temperamental, slapped down two 1 haves of bread on the table, one after another, in quick succession. When at last the candle was burning he drew out 60 francs ($12) in gold, all save one piece, which he had been obliged to change in buying the bread. He arranged the gold pieces in a circle like a halo around the candle, ending with the change, of which he made a neat pile. “ Ah,” sighed Millet as he re garded the unhoped for treasure, “ if only I could count on a sum like this every week!” “ Would you turn capitalist?” re proachfully asked Dia&---------------- If to suffer is a Bpur to genius is it a wonder that these Barbizon men were great painters?— Exchange. • I by using # ' .

Paper money is said to have had its origin in China in the year 806, when the government issued it to relieve a financial stringency, re ceiving coin in return, which ena bled it to pay off outstanding obliga tions.

Few persons who admire the iri descence of ancient glassware know that the prismatic hues displayed are a result of the decay o f glass. When disintegration sets in, the substance of the glass splits into ex ceedingly thin laminae, which, as the sunlight traverses them, give rise to a splendid play of colors. Like the leaves of a forest, these delicate glasses signalize their ap proaching dissolution by becoming more beautiful.— Harper’s Weekly Wft have all heard of the French schoolboy who, asked to translate into English the French of “ To be or not to be,” evolved this, “ To was or not to am.’ Another schoolboy has equaled this translation, according to the London Chronicle, in recovering from German the text, "The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak,” in the form, “ The ghost, of course, is ready, but the meat is feeble.” s \ ' J ¿ ?
