THIS LADY - SHOULD ENTER -
THE MARATHOX DANCE
Fort Worth, Tex. At the age of
103 Mrs. Frank Stein finds that idle
ness weighs upon her like a burden.
She wants a job. Almost anything
will do provided it will not interfere
with hrr dancing. Hard work and
dancing, she will tell you, have kept
her young and while she welcomes
the one she will not give up the
other. "I prefer work in a laundry,"
se says, "but I am willing to cook
or do housework in a boarding
house."
Mrs. Stein has had five husbands
and the fith is living with her. He
apparently is in his sixties but at
that lacks the youthful spirits of
his wife, for he declines to accom
pany his sprightly spouse to the
dance in Yeoman's hall, which she
attends regularly.
Mrs. Stein was born In Ireland of
parents who lived, she says, the
father to be 117 and the mother to
be 127. With congenial work and
dancing enough she hopes to outlive
the years of both.
Mrs. Stein's "baby boy" is now 68
years old. There are 13 children,
including several sots of twins. Two
of her boys fought in the Civil war.
Her . first four husbands were
brothers, Harrigan by name, she
stated. She said that her first hus
band died of heart failure at the
wedding supper. While his funeral
was being held at the Harrigan
home, husband No. 4 tlen gix weeks
old, was in the next room crying to
his supper.
CHILDREN'S FARM HOME
TO BE DEDICATED SEP. 3
To the credit of our state ho .t
said that after years of neg'ect of
tiie dependent child that there are
now housed in two well equipped
cot'a&cs of the Children's Fai"i
Home of the W. C. T. U. forty o!
such little waifts as hae hitherto
been condemned to temporary
homee, housed in sectarian institu
tions established for the care of
those who have lost the innocence
which is the rightful heritage of
childhood.
Ihc Farm Home Board are con
gratulating themselves upon their
gooa fortune in having secured in
peison Mr. C. T. Webb as superin
tendent, an ideal father and admin
istrator. With unusual grasp of the
need of the work undertaken, and
high ideals of the mission of the
home hehas been able to organize
the family collected from many coun
tics and ns many kinds of surround
ings into a real family and home
life. The motto of the hoard, "A
Real Home on a Real Farm," Is
rapidly being made a reality.
- Not only are humanitarians of the
state becoming more and more in
terested in the project but hard
headed business men are regarding
it as one of the most foresighted
business enterpriles, planning as it
dees to develop those who might
soon become an economic liability
into a distinct econmic asset.
Governor Pierce in a recent letter
to the farm home office says, "I
want to assure you that there is no
greater work going on in Oregon
than the wortc you are doing."
The two first cottages will be for
mally deiiicued September 5, and a
general invitation is extended to all
readers of th's paper to go to Cor
vallis for this event. The pressing
need fur additional buildings, that
the many children for whom appli
cations are being made in increas
ing nuiv.bers may be housed is so
great that appeals are being made
for "dedication gifts" in the hope
that 'such will -enable the manage
ment to meet this need.
John Hiatt, manager of the Peo
ples Hardware Co., received a let
ter from Mrs. Hiatt the other day
telling of the serious and peculiar
accident she met with a few days'
before. Mrs. Hiatt and the children
are visiting friends in western Ore
gon and a few days ago while dress
ing Mrs. Hiatt looked over her
Ehoulder into the mirror and almost
dislocated her neck. She suffered
intense pain for some time and a
physician who was called declared
she had a narrow escape from a
broken neck.
