Arriving at the ground floor he paused until his fellow passengers had passed out of enrshot and then asked the elevator operator: “What’s everybody saluting me fori” —New York Sun. Foxes have a terrifying affect on the Imaginations of superstitions Orientals. A fox will enter a human's body— between the fingernails and the aklix they say—and. haring made himself at home, will control the person's thought, actions and even his voice, leading him Into deviltries for which he feels he cannot be held responsible. To thus he controlled by a fox—or rather by the spirit of a fox—Is to suf fer from what is recognized as demo niacal possession. We are told, says the Detroit News, that “the person possessed hears and understands everything that the fox inside him says or thinks; and that the two often engage In violent dis pute, the fox speaking In a voice alto gether different from that wnlch is natural to the individual.” Scientifi cally. we have It explained that "whereas In healthy persons one-half of the brain alone Is actively engaged —In right-handed persons the left half of the brain and in left-handed per sons the right—In nervously excitable Itersons or In persons of weak mind the disused half of the brain is often aroused Into activity by fear, and that the two halves, now functioning—one the normal self anil the other the dew pathologically affected self—are set one against the other, the result being that the activities of the ‘new’ brain are ascribed to the fox.” Odd Experience for comfort and rest and health and the simple life, all in pleasing variations at NORTH BEACH, CLATSOP BEACHES, TILLAMOOK BEACHES or NEWPORT O u r agent w ill hand you "Outings in the Pacific N orthw est" ■nd Oregon Outdoors" and they w ill tell you the w hole story.

This experience occurred many years ago, but it was so odd that I have never I forgotten it. I was visiting friends in the country who had a Shetland pony . that I loved to ride. I wore my hair in j two braids, which were crossed and I tied up In the back, making a little loop, as was the fashion of the time, One day while rldin. the pony through ; the orchard, he I ecatne frightened and started runn'ng tower 1 the barn. Un der a low grow Ing tipple tree he ran pell-mell, leaving me linnging by my j braids on the apple hough! My feet j just missed the ground, and there I hung like Absalom until the other chil dren came and released me.—Chicago Journal. [ ’ 1 j j C Lyfem neafra’a H u m o r Sophocles makes Electra describe Clytemnestra as "laughing trinm- phaotly" over the murder of Aga memnon; but Electra was a preju diced witness. Killing an undesired husband Is no laughing matter, though triumph over Its accomplishment— when failure means death—Is a legiti mate emotion. Clytemnestra was a singularly august and composed sin ner. Not from her did Orestes and Electra Inherit their nervous systems; and not on their testimony should we credit her with an excess of humor alike Ill-timed and unbecoming.—Ag nes Reppller in the Yale Review. A cougar, out of its invironment and thoroughly frightened at the prospect of no trees to climb nor underbrush to hide in, utilized the manger of an old barn near Wasco as a place o f ' refuge and was killed with a shotgun. The sale of cigarettes at all con struction camps and at two summer resorts—those at Odell and Crescent lakes—in the Deschutes national forest has been stopped, as a measure for protection of timber against tire, it is announced. — READ THE WANT ADS— M IL E S O N T W O Y A R D S O F SCRIP.

It con sists," says Dr. William Uragg, “only of carbon atoms arranged In a very sym metrical way. Every carbon atom has four others spaced round It. The symmetry of the structure is such that the atoms are most difficult to dis place, for which reason a diamond can be used as a tool to cut any oth er substance, because the ntoms of the other substance give way before the rigidly set atoms of the diamond. In the diamond can be found the rings of benzene, the fundamental structural unit of all the substances Included In one great section of organic chem istry."

As the train approached one of the stations something came softly and kissed me on the cheek. What do you think It was?" A pretty girl in the rear shouted: “I know ! It was the conductor, be cause when he took my ticket, he ! told me I was a very pretty girl and ' kissed me, too,”—Rehobotli Sunday Herald. Birthmarks A birthmark Is merely the result of excessive development of fibrous tis sue hair, blood vessels, or pigment In a circumscribed area. Surgical treat ment Is generally prescribed for the rtronval of birthmarks. Among the methods employed are electrolysis, X- reys snd the use of chemical caustics, such as nitric acid or the acid nitrate of mercury. The removal of a birth mark Is a delicate operation and should only be performed by a com petent physician. Young Man Observant STANDARD Beatrice—Is that new friend of yours a good-looker Mlllleent?

STANDARD OIL COMPANY DO IT NOW of QUALITY : In Indo-Chlna rice is grown under very different conditions from those in America. In Cochin-China there Is no Irrigation; the rice Is planted at the beginning of the rainy season, and all the necessary water is supplied 1 by the rains that fall continuously 1 during the growing period. The use of seeders and drills Is Impossible, as the ground Is entirely covered wtth water at seeding time. The rice is planted in little patches and then transplanted when a sufficient ma turity Is attained. In Tonkin and Annaw large tracts of land are being prepared for Irrigation and modem methods will be adopted. , ■ 1 STANDARD of Q U A LITY STANDARD OIL COMPANY (C A L IF O R N IA ) 1 , I WEST END FARMERS Have learned that The Herald prints the best butter wrappers.
