Chancer introduced it under tbe iruise of "fenielle" and Shakespeare used it a few times instead of "woman." But it was tbe early novelists who clothed It with respectability by making all their women "females." Bo exceed ingly respectable bad it become In the time of Dr. Johnson that Fanny Bur ney called tbe princess royal "the sec ond female In the kingdom." Even so late as the publication of Tennyson's 'Princess" Mrs. Browning was able to write with perfect propriety that the poem dealt with "a university attend ed by females."

STAND 10 LOSE BIG SI OF W10 A Salem dispatoh says that f 100,000 is due the state as Joans from the sohool fund on farms was announced at a meeting of tbe State Land Board Tuesday. Announcement aleo was made that under a law passed at the reoeut session of the legislature, un less the money is paid on or before January 1 next, it shall te presumed to te paid and it will be lost to the state. Governor West tried to throw the blame for the money not having been collected on State Treasurer Kay, but in this he failed, for tbe law dearly specifies that tbe Stats Land Board shall be responsible for its oclleotion. Governor West oalled attention to seo tion 3915, Lord's Oregon Lans.'wbiob says that all loans from the common sohool fnnd "shall be made' for a per iod of one year; providedftbat in oase the interest is promptly paid and the seourity remains unimpaired, the Board may, in Us discretion, permit the loan to stand for a peiiod of not longer than ten years." The governor then announced that an examination of tbe reoord revealed there were about 100 mortgages cov ering loans from the common sohool fund lu tbe oustody of the state treas urer wbioh are past the ten-year peri od provided by law. He admitted that the time whioh the loans should have been permitted to stand was wholly under tbe control of tbe Board, bnt intimated tbe state treasurer had been derelict in not reporting them. Mr. Key said complete reports had keen made to the Board and that it was customary to be lenient with tbe borrowers. All of them, he ex plained, had been notified that they must pay what they owe, and tbe at torneys of the various counties repre senting tbe Board bad been notified to bring suit He said it had not beeu the purpose of the Board to work hard ships on the land owners, for in all oases the state was amply safeguard ed. Tbe loans amount to only one third of the value of the land. Mr. Kay said he waa willing to foreolose at any time. Governor West insisted that aotion be taken atonoe. in view of the law passed at the last session of the leg islature, whiob annnls the- debts after ten years, and tbe olerk was notified to inform the property owners that tbey make a renewal of the loans at onoe or be subjeot to foreclosure.
