CURRENT EVENTS
OF THE WEEK
Doings of the World at Large

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

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

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.

"Yes.”
"W ell, he never had time to be

you could understand at all. As or

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

"W ill your brother be home to

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

"Very good; I am not people."
“ Don’t you see him enough at race
times, Stanton? I ’m sure he Is the
best man we have had,” fretted his
manager.
Stanton was recalling that Interview
as he went up the stairs of the quiet
apartment house Indicated. After all.
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

She was afraid of him. The too ob

She Was so Like Floyd He Could Have Cried Out In His Wonder.
Floyd gave me no warrant for I t But
he was very good to me, when I was
sick In Lowell, and I wanted to thank
him.”
She looked at him fully, then, and
again he could have cried out at the
wonder of so meeting Floyd's straight
candor of regard.
"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. From Mr. Green he
learned that you had quite recovered,
after he left you.”
"And he? 1 hurt his arm.”
She glanced up astonished.
“ You hurt hla arm?”

assumed grim responsibility.
