RILEY L The lonely old house is deserted and still, And the villagers mourn as they pass; For its master has gone, ns a good mas ter will, When the life-sands are run from his glass. Yet still in the hearts of the comrades he knew Happy songs that he sang in his joy Yet are echoing true, as a fond song will do, Like a jest in the heart of a boy. The swallows that shouted him chal lenge at morn Only stammer anil flit in the eaves. And the urchins trudge by, snd as pil grims forlorn, Drooping lifeless ns foliage leaves. The pets that were his vainly wait his caress, And the chambers are hushed as a tomb; And his dreams nud his quests are a mansion of guests The producing of the comic opera "Bobiu Hood" by the music depart ment of the high school under the direc tion of Miss Minctta Magers was not an especially profitable event, according to the report given to the board of education at Ihe meeting last night.

The New York Evening Sun finnucial review today said: .. .. David Lloyd George's prediction in the house of "commons yesterday of vic tory for the allies within a few months was utilized by the bearish element in Wall street to depress prices this morn ing. Under the argument that an early peace would make for a genera read justment in values which the majority of Wall street observers regard with misgivings, professional traders offered some of the conspicuous specialties freely, but they failed to dislodge long stock or force extensive liquidation and after a general moderate decline prices rallied irregularly. Thereafter the market relapsed into the familiar rut of inactivity which has characterized the dealings for a long time past. As is usual on nn occasion of tho kind, the financial district engaged in many conjectures ns to what the steel corporation would show in the way of earnings and estimates ranged all tho way from ifliO.OOO.OOO to $$0,000,000. Nothing could be more uninteresting than the stock market in tho lute after noon. Progressive dullness characterized the trading and barely more than 25. 000 shares changed hands iu the fourth hour. 1251 TODAY -TOMORROW And THURSDAY JESSK L.

Larkin, former resident of Portland and Corvallis, who escaped from the state asylum for the insiine Saturday night by picking the lock of a window with a hairpin, was almost cap tured this morning. When she depart ed from the asylum she left a note say ing that she had gone "for a walk" and would return Sunday at 4 p. m. she failed to return. It now appears that soon after leav ing the asylum she secured employment at the Depit motel. Last night she ap peared at the Southern Pacific depot and filed a telegram to J. R. Leach at Portland. The message said, "Please send me SlO. I have changed my board ing place. I went out by the win dow." It was signed "Altha Lairkin." she was recognized by the operator at tho depot, and he notified the hos pital authorities, who dispatched two employes to the Depot hotel to bring her back to the institution. When they reached the hotel the woman was not there. She is still at large. It 'a a waste of time to tell a hair- raising story to a bald-headed man. - !
