WHEN BILLY SUNDAY J WENT TO PORTLAND (By Rex Lampmn in Portland Journal) "Huh! Right it right, and wrong ia wrorg I" flrava tlilly Sunday iquikd, "Don't to mult, be trave. La strung I" Great C.eaar, bow he talked! And speaking of itrtat Caesar, "lie was a runt," aaid Bill, "Sawed-crT, red-headed, freckled-faced, Hut ha could bit the iJili" lie aaid that Kid Napoleon Was also to the good; "If 1 had (Jayed in U.i.se days, I'd joined his team. 1 would" It isn't site that counts," he barked, As if to say, "Ste me" "Jort bit the lall and not the booze" Bill's amail himself, you see. How young sheet, herder David Got great Goliath's goat, Bill told in phravs with Ve kirk; He said : "11, n big stiff tmote The Yiddish army yore with fear, . But Dave, he ulltd his duds. And walked right out, as calmly As cows that chew their cuds. "He put five peblileH in his pouch; Goliath yelled, 'You shrimp' But Davie grinned ami waited, And thought, 'You poor hig simp' Goliath roared. 'You measly I uob Dave took his littlo sling" Here Billy whirled as David did "And heaved a rock and hing." And then Bill yowled and gurgled, Just like Goliath did. And fell upon the flier and kicked: "And David, butih-league kid, He took Gol'a sword and chopped his block And rolled it down the hill." From the way Billy told it. The kid could hit the pill. Daniel, he aaid, at seventeen Another manly one Refused to dip his Mag to sin In wicked Babylon; Refused to watch the dancing girls. Dressed just in beads and shoes ; Refused to play the races, Ur hit the old king's booze. And "Huh!" said Billy Sunday, And "Huh!" again, said he; He'd tear the air, and prance and glare, And tell how man should be: A godlike, fearless party, VVho guzzles not nor smokes. But beats it home at early eve With all the latest jokes. "Abe Lincoln, Nature tried to hide," Said Billy, waxing tender; "She hid him in the backwoods, Great snakes, his chance was slender! But when God needed Him a man. He walked right out and found him; The path led 'way olf through the weeds. But Nature sang around him." Bill said that all white-slavers Should be shot upon the spot That pastor of a graveyard He'd be as like as nut. Rather than of some churches In which he. Bill, had preached. "Hell's a square deal for sinners!" Bill flopped his head and screeched. And William quoted poetry And some, fear, his own ; He ripped the rythm into rags, ("I would make a poet moan) And threw the pieces at the moon. He made a daring slide, And crossed the golden home-plate; "Safe!" Ump St. I'eter cried For all of this that Billy did. He never got a cent To help his light the Brimstone league, Buy beans, or pay the rent. Vancouver av'nue M. K. church, Which muchly needs the money. Gets the whole pot, GOO bones It's just like milk and honey. Bill showed ut First M. E. last night, And made the wicked quail ; Came down from dear Hood River To twist old Satan's tail. Bill has a ranch up there some where, And coaches all the pigs, And lights the woolly aphiH, And plows, and sweats and digs. SLOCOlFmNFIELD GET GOOD PICTURES Geo. I. Slocom and Joe B. Cnnfield were at Mitchell Point recently with their kodaks, with which they secured some excellent photographs of the Columbia river highway tunnel. The tunnel makes one think of fairy tale days. The windows, with walls over 12 feet wide, seem like embras ures of a giant's castle. The basalt, of which the huge Storm Clilf is formed, is interwoven in strata, and the sides of the whitlows have a serrated appear ance, it seeming as though they were cut from a pattern of huge design. Paddock-Dollar The wedidng of Lynn Paddock, son ofJMr. and iMrs. C. C. Paddock, and Miss Janet Dollar, of Portland, was solemnized Wednesday of last week at the latter city, Rev. Marcott, pastor of the Irvinton Presbyterian church, officiating. Mr. and Mrs. Paddock came to Hood River last Thursday and after a visit with the former's parentf, left for their Oak Grove ranch. GEM PROGRAM TODAY "The Woman VVho Dared." Count Bertrand is an army officer who enjoys the utmost confidence of the military leaders of his country, but who nevertheless finds time to devote himself also to the interests of several charitable institutions. He and his heautul young wife are always among the first to otTer their services when 'some charity fete is planned, and both , i Dei rig splendid riders, are chosen to take charge of a pretentious society i circus designed to raise money for an orphanage. ! in order to stage the production in professional style, they hire lvanhotT, a circus manager, to assist them. Ivanholf gladly accepts their offer of the commission, not only because of the literal payment promised, but also because of the fact that he is in reality a spy in the pay of a neighboring power and thinks through association with the count,. he will be able to'gain possession of some valuable govern ment secrets. He bides .his time ai d finally, by drugging the count, succeeds in getting into his own hands some manoeuver plans wheih had been en trusted to Bertrand. These he deliv ers to the prime minister of the hostile power, and Bertrand islarrsted on a charge of having sold the information to the enemy. He is convicted on cir cumstantial evidence and sentenced to 12 years in prison. Countess Bertrand is prostrated by her husband'i disgrace, but, .confident of his innocence, aeta herself to find evidence which will act him free. 'Cer tain clews lead ber to suspect that lvanboff ia the real tbeif of the plana. To find him ia in iueff a difficult tatk, fur be baa disappeared and left no ink ling of his whereabouts. Finally the countess tits upon a plan. She will disguise herself, join a circus and aeek for Ivanhoff among the baunta of cir cus people. This she does, and it it not long before the famous, "Lady of the Mask," a superb equestrienne who never allows ber'featuret to ba aeen, even by her colleagues, it one of the best known cerformen in the circus world. The irasked rider, of course, is none ether than the countess herself. In time the circus with which the it connected plays a long engtpemeait in the hippodrome at the capital of Ru garia, the country which lvanboff serves. Alexis, the countess' servant, located Ivanhoff'i divorced life, Nadia, and from ber they learn that the spy is in the city, living luxuriously on a lartre sum of money paid bim for the stolen plant, and sevrral days later they see him occupying a box at the hippodrome. Ivanhoff ia struck with the grace of the masked rider and asks for and introduction, which it granted. The countess, never taking olf her mask. Ieads4iim on until he invites her to take dinner in hit rooms. She ac cepts, and as they are dining suddenly removes her mask and covert him with a revolver. She forces him to give her the plans and his correspondence with the Rugarian officials and it delighted to find that the papers prove conclu sively her husband's innocence. Still covering Ivanhoff with the pistol, the makes her escape from the house. In her haste she drops one of the docu ments, but Alexis, the servant, whom she has left on guard at the door, picks it up and jamt it into his pocket. Now that she has the preciout proofs, the countess loses no time in leaving the Rugarian eapitol. Ivanhoff. however, hat not lost hit presence of mind, and succeeds in getting a war rant for her arrest. He charters a high powered motor car and starts for the border at top speed. ' There ia an exciting race between his machine and the train which bears the countess, the auto wins, and when the daring woman reaches the frontier, Ivanhoff and a squad of military police are waiting for her at the border station. The papers are taken from her and she is hustled across the border into her own country. She returns heartbroken to her home. Several daya later Alexis, who has followed on another train, arrives and gives her the paper which she dropped in fleeing from IvahofT's house. It proves to bo a letter from the prime minister of Rugaria to the spy and conclusively proves the innocence of the count. This letter, turned over to the military authorities, wins a pardon for Bertrand and brings back happi ness to the woman who dared.
