CURRENT EVENTS OF THE WEEK Doings of the World at Large Told in Brief. General Resume o f Important Events Presented In Condensed Form fo r Our Busy Readers. A strike o f the hoisting engineers in a Pennsylvania colliery has thrown 4000 men out o f work. A 18-year-old girl from Portland was one o f the first o f a party o f 16 to reach the top o f Mt. Adams. Kansas proposes' to cut off one day from the sentences o f its convicts for each day they work on the roads. Fung Rue, a noted Chinese aviator, was killed by a 200-foot fall while givin g exhibitions at Canton, China. Col. C. C. Wilson, ex-president of the United Wireless Telegraph com pany, died in the Federal prison at Atlanta, Ga. The king and queen o f England send a large wreath o f flowers for the fun eral o f Commander Booth, o f the Sal vation Army. LIBERALS ASK FREE HAND. Nicaragua Requests Withdrawal o f American Forces. Washington, D. C.— Appearance in Washington o f an active Nicaraguan junta, working in the interest o f the liberal party and laying plans for bringing pressure to bear upon the State department to cause a change in the policy in the handing of the Nica raguan revolutionary problem, has added much to the interest felt by Latin-Americans in the development o f the situation in the Central Am er ican republic. In the absence o f direct news from the beleaguered capital in the last 48 hours, attempts here to bring about a diplomatic settlement o f the troubles o f Nicaragua are being watched with interest. The envoys in Washington o f the liberal party are Francisco Altschul, who was Nicaraguan consul general in New Orleans under the Zelaya ad ministration and has since resided there, and Angel Ugarte, one time Honduran minister to Washington, but afterwards one of the liberal lead ers in Nicaragua. They are seeking to reach the State department with a proposal that the American naval force there be dimin isted to a mere legation guard and that the American minister demand that all factions, including the gov ernment, submit to the will o f the people the question o f political su premacy through a free and fair elec tion, with the stipulation that the large number o f liberals who are dis franchised by the clerical party should regain their rights of citizen ship. It is 'regarded improbable that the State department would entertain any proposal for the diminution o f the force o f American bluejackets and marines in Nicaragua, so long as pres ent conditions continue. She spokd 10 lightly, with lo much of Floyd's own nonchalant accept-1 anoe of Incidental mishaps, that Stan ton was surprised Into Indiscretion. “ You do not worry about him?” he questioned. "You are not nervous about his racing, and racing with me?” Her lashes fell, her face grew seri ous. “ If anything happens to Jes, I will die too," she slowly answered. "W'e are— twins. No. I do not worry. Be sides, I grew up used to seeing Jea In danger; he told you of his life with father?” "Yes.” "W ell, he never had time to be afraid, or I to be afraid for him. You can not be afraid of things you have been doing or seeing done ever since you could understand at all. As or dinary babies are taken out In car riages, Jes was taken out In fast motor-cars. My father could not bear him out of his sight; when Jea was In kilts, he was taken to the factory each day to amuse himself among the workmen and machines." Profoundly Interested, he studied her. "And you. Miss Floyd? What did you do?" "I? " she turned aside her head, her full, firm young mouth slightly com pressed. "When I was fourteen, I said to my father, one morning, ‘Dad dy, what is to become of Jessica? Jes Is learning all he needs to be a man; how Is Jes's sister to learn to be a woman?’ And he answered me frankly, ‘Jessica, I do not know. You have no kinswomen, and I could not endure a stranger In your mother's house. Sou will have to let Jes be wise for both, except for your nurse’s woman-teaching.’ So I—did. Jea la Jes and Jessica for both. You are the first visitor who ever followed him here, and the first I ever received in New York. We are like no one else In the world, I believe." "You are never lonely?” ha won dered. Her answer he never quite forgot; long afterward Its quiet pathos would come back to him. “ Often,” she said, and picked up the embroidery. Stanton was not always gentle, but he had tact enough when he chose to exert I t With a natural change of tone he moved away from personali ties, speaking of the race and the race pictures In the pile of newspapers near her. And she responded with charming readiness and understand ing. "W ill your brother be home to night?” Stanton inquired, when he rose to go, at the end of a half hour. “ No,” she regretted, a trifle hur riedly. He hesitated, in the grasp of an Im pulse strange to himself. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE O. A. C A T S T A T E FAIR. A D O P T UNIFORM GRADE. College to Show Many (Fine Exhibits Hood River Apple Growers Agree on Packing System. Next Month. Oregon Agricultural] College, Cor vallis— What an agricultural college can do for the state by'making edu cational displays will be shown atjthe coming state fair, when the Oregon Agricultural college will make a num ber o f fine exhibits and demonstra tions in the booths reserved for that institution. The exhibits are being prepared carefully by the professors in charge o f the various departments, to repre sent the work done by them during the college year and in the short courses and institutes. The state fair officials have reserved generous space for the exhibits, the demonstra tions, charts, photographs, the pedi gree grains and grasses, and samples o f work done by the students. Through these displays many people who have been unable to come to the college campus for a course or even to visit the buildings and laboratories during the school year will be given an opportunity to become acquainted with the college and what it is doing for the people o f the state who sup port it. There will be members o f the col lege faculty constantly at hand all during the fair to make explanations, answer inquiries and give demonstra tion lectures. It is hoped to show how thoroughly the college is organ ized for the service of the entire state, not merely for the boys and girls who enroll for the regular cours es, and the men and women who come to the short courses and summer ses sions, but also everyone who can at tend an institute or demonstration lec ‘ CH ICAG O N O T A M E R IC A ” ture, who can take a correspondence Scientists Seek Real Peop'e in Rural course, or who can profit by letters of advice from the professors and those Regions, Not In Cities. in charge o f the experimental and Chicago—"Chicago is not represen demonstration farms. tative o f the United States.

It was true that Floyd might have volunteered his address, himself. If he had wished It known. Perhaps he did not want to see his driver unoffi cially. A sense of unwelcomeness op pressed Stanton, but he kept on his way. He bad never swerved from a course because of the opinions of others; he did not think of turning back now. Some one was singing, as he reached the fourth floor; singing In a smooth, honey-rich, honey-golden contralto. Warned of his approach by the bell pushed below, the door of the apart ment was opened, so that the melody cam« flooding his hearing with Its haunting familiarity. A little old Irishwoman In black silk was peering up at the tall visitor on the threshold. "Mr. Floyd?” he Inquired. “ My name Is Stanton.” The old servant drew back, smiling Invitation, and pushed aside a cur tain. And Stanton saw Jessica Floyd rise from her Beat at the piano, tak ing a step to meet him. She was so like Floyd that he could have cried out In wonder, yet was most purely and softly feminine. She seemed taller, In her clinging pale- blue gown, and even more slender, but Floyd’s silver-gray eyes looked out from her long lashes, Floyd’s bronze curls clustered around her wide brows, under the braids wound about her head, and her smile was a more timid reflection of the In arnate sun shine of his. “ 1 am sorry Jes Is not at home,” she said, holding out her hand with a nat ural grace of hospitality that rose above her nervous shyness. “ I am Jessica Floyd, Mr. Stanton, his sis ter.” She was afraid of him.

"Why should you not come? Jes has not so many friends that they are not welcome In his home. Only, If he had known of your coming, he would have been here.” She moved to a chair. Inviting him by a gesture to do likewise, and took up a half-embroidered silk scarf. "H e was called out of town,” she added, after waiting for her silent guest to speak. "H e will be sorry to have missed you.
