Heppner, Oregon 33 Lady Assistant Copyright, 1913, by the Panama A MARVELOUS SETTING FOR SCULPTURE AT THE PANAMA-PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION, 1915. THE dominating architectural feature of the exposition the superb Tower of Jewels, which will command the south entrance of the Court of Sun and Stars at the Panama-Pacific International Ex. position iu San Francisco in 11115. This tower, 430 feet in heiKht, will have a base one acre in extent. The tower will rise upward in terraces, giving way at last to a group of figures supporting a globe, typifying the world. The repeated figures of armored horsemen and of explorers of the ocean will be used on the tower, which, with Its statu ary, mural paintings and mosaics, will be indescribably beautiful. Messrs. Carrere & Hastings, architects in chief of the Pun-American Ex position at Buffalo iu 1901, are the architects. Gratitude Behind a Name. During 1G08 Sir Christopher Newport while cruising off the coast of North Carolina ran into a very severe storm. After being tossed about on the ocean for several days his ship was driven by the wind into Chesapeake bay and landed at a certain "point." Exhausted by his struggle with the ocean he found "comfort at last within this har bor" and he gave it the name of "Point Comfort." After some years other places along the Atlantic seaboard were given the same name, and as the Virginia point was the oldest the word "Old" was added to distin guish it from the others. Ladies' Homo Journal. Jumped a Thousand Hurdles. The craze for strange records be gan a great many years ago. There was an elderly London omnibus driver named Priestly, who at Hull, in 18(:t, jumped 1,000 hurdles each three feet six inches high in sixty one and a half minutes. It is said thai this record has never since hern equaled. Priestly began onini )iis driving in the same year, lSli.'l. and during his forty-six years in the iorvico of the London General Om nibus company he drove busses a distance of about 850,000 miles. Strand Magazine. Discouraging, Mr. .Jordan was touring by motor car and arrive! at a crowded vil lage inn quite bile in the evening. There was no spare bed to be had. which was a great disappointment, -is he was tired and very much dis liked the thought of driving farther that night. "Haven't you at least n bundle of hay you can give me?" he demand ed of the landlady. "There isn't a thing left." she an swered, "except a bit of cold roast beef." Lippincott's. Gladstone's Apology.- Mr. Gladstone once denounced certain members of the opposition as "a lot of truckling attorneys," a phrase which caused some indigna tion. On the following day he said: "1 recently described some members as 'truckling attorneys.' I now wish to apologize" some applause from the aggrieved parties inter rupted him "1 now wish to apolo gize to the attorneys." CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.

He Thought a Great Deal More of It Than He Did of His Queen. . The greatest achievement of the late Sir Harry Prendergast, V. C, who lived until, his seventy-ninth year, came in 188"-(, when be an nexed liurma. a country larger than France, to the British empire and dethroned the infamous King Thee baw. "It is beyond doubt that in one day King Tbeebaw caused sev enty or eighty members of the royal household to be massacred," said Sir Harry once. "But then this was strictly in accordance with the tra ditions of bis'position." Sir Harry has himself described the surrender of Tbeebaw at Man dalay in the following words: "I went to the palace with twenty or thirty ollicers and an interpreter. King Tbeebaw sat on bis throne under the awning of a veranda sur rounded tby his ministers and bis wives and the queen mother. "There was no trace of fear or anger in bis demeanor. lie va per fectly cool and polite. I informed him that it would be necessary for him to embark for India. He sug gested a delay of three months, vhieh was refused, then three weeks and finally three days. Ai length I took out my watch and said, '1 can give you ten minutes.' " King Tbeebaw then implored Sir Harry not to rob him of a precious ruby ring or bis wife. Rut as the general smiled in a mysterious way the king exclaimed, "Well, well", take my wife, but, oh, great com mander, spare me my ring." From the officer of the steamer in which the king and his court were taken into exile Sir Harry received a receipt for "one king, three queens, one prime minister, three councilors and so many maids of honor." London Cor. New York Sun. Royal Origin of "Blackguard." The board of green cloth is re sponsible for inventing "black guard," a word that has altered in original meaning. When first used it was not at all a term of reproach, but referreil to the lowly but honor able occupation of carrying coal in the king's palace. Can you find any other bad word in the Lnglish lan guage that can boast of such a royal origin ? London Chronicle.
