A CHANGE OF OPINION.
Sergeant Brown who brought 159 prisoners back to
the American lines has perhaps set the record, which
heretofore was held by another American with four or
five dozen to his credit. The puzzle to solve is how can
one man surround 159.
The dispatches Thursday stated Hindenburg is timid
and irresolute. Considering the fact that he has died or
been killed several times within the past six weeks this
condition is quite a natural one.
Baron Burian, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minis
ter in his recent peace talk said among other things that
his government "regards the war as senseless and pur
poseless bloodshed", and that "it might be ended when
the allies again manifest feelings of humanity." Ihe bar
on is partly right. However his country did not consider
it "senseless and purposeless bloodshed," when it clemand-
ed of Serbia that it should turn over to Austria the trial
and punishment of the assassins of the crown prince. It
has only come to the conclusion it is senseless bloodshed
since it sees the handwriting on the wall and knows that
it is doomed to defeat. It started the trouble and will
have to'abide by the results, one of which will be the plac
ing of itself in condition to make a treaty of peace which
will have the people behind it, and which will not be con
sidered a scrap of paper. Another will be the getting out
of those countries she with the help of Germany has over
run, and doing something toward repairing the wrongs
she has inflicted upon them.
' This Yankee nation is a queer one at best. For in
stance, now that our young fellows have got interested
in the war pastime, it is not quite certain that it would
not be a popular idea to make Hun hunting the perman
ent national sport. It is probably a little more dangerous
than football, safer than automobile racing, and more ex
citing than baseball. Most of the boys seem to regard the
whole as a big sport adventure and seem more anxious
to out-do each other in gathering souvenirs of the battle
field for the iolks back home than anything else. Still
down at bedrock they know that they are offering their
lives on the altar of libertyand are glad to do it.
The opinion of the Prussian militarists as to the fight
ing qualities of the Americans have no doubt changed con
siderably within the past 48 hours, and greater changes
are in store for them. The Americans have fought their
first really big battle, and they showed the confidence of
their people was not misplaced, by sweeping everything
before them. The greatest trouble so far with the boys is
that they "want to keep going while the going is good,"
and that is the kind of going they provide for themselves.
The completion of the bridge and the celebration of
.ing qualitis of the Amercans have no doubt changed con
will have the time to take part. The harvest will be over
and the fall crops and prunes not ready to gather.. This
should help make it what it really is, an event in the his
tory of this and Folk counties.

The latest news concerning Ouentin Roosevelt is
that he probably landed safely inside the German lines
and is now a prisoner and unhurt.

According to Governor Withycombe there will by the
end of the year be a deficiency of half a million dollars in
the state's finances. The governor got real mad because
a Portland paper said .the deficiency would not be as
)arge as the governor claims, which rather indicates the
latter is pround of his big deficiency. He evidently wants
the record.

CHAPTER CSXXIII
George wa very busy the next two
days, I spent my time shopping and j
entertaining myself at best I could.
Mrs. Babcock hiached with me and
we went to a matinee. I liked her bet
ter each time I saw her, and enjoyed
being with her, even tho she was so
much older.
The night before we left for home,
we dined with, them again. As we were
dressiug, George aaid to zue:
"I haven't secured Babcock 'g sig
nature yet, altho I think he is suro to
come into the business. But tonujht
will settle it. They are already Inclin
ed to like you so try and be of further
help to me bv your actions tonight." .
1 made no reply. I felt pleased that
I ould be of help .to George, but I
resented the implication that 1 might
do something to spoil the good impres
sion I had amide. I would let him 8ee
that I was clever enough, at least, to
hold what I had obtained.
We had a wonderful time, and an
other delightful dinner. Mns. Babcock
asked far more music, and we really
spent a delightful evening, altho, to
my surprise, business was not mention
ed. But just as George sipoke of going,
giving my previous illness as an ex
cuse he -wa9 really tired, himself
Mr. Bailncock said: .
Come into tho library, a moment,
Howard. The ladies will excuse us. I
may as well sign that paper tonight.
Perhaps if I wait until tomorrow, J
may change mv mind; but your wife's
musM? has made me mellow."
I couldn't help a glad thrill as I
turned to Mrs. Babcock, who was smil
ing at me.
When we left, it was with a feeling
that I had made two very dear friends.
And I was very happy when George
remarked:
"You were an unqualified success
tonight Helen, I guees I owe it to you
that I got that affair settled."
Helen Sa Julia Collins Embarrassed
'Wo stopped in tho grill, when we
reached the hotel. George claimed to
be thirsty. The orchestra was still play
ing, so 1 offered no objections.
' ' We 'vo only a few minute before
they close," George said impatiently,
beckoning a waiter.
Just then I heard some lo-ud talk
ing, and turned1 to see the cause- At
a table near us, sat Julia Collins: and
a large, ratheT coarse looking man who
evidently had been drinking. He was
trying to make Mrs. Collins take
glass of champagne, which she had ev
idently been refusing. Ao one was pay
ing particular attention, bocause of
tho nearness of closing time and their
desire to have ithoir orders filled. Hut
I was interested. It was something new
to see Julia Collins embarrassed, us
she evidently was. I could not help a
little thrill of lev as 1 looked at her
escort red, flushed, noisy, and persist
ent then at George, who was cool,
self possessed, and handsome.
George heard an exclajiiulion, turn
ed, and saw Mrs. Collins and hef es
cort. Ho looked surprised, then remark

DEATH OF E. M. MTLLES
A wave of regret swept over the
city Friday evening when it became
known that P. M. Miller had passed
away at 8:15. No man was better
known in this eectlon . than was
"Frant" Miller, whose beautiful farm
home lies just across the Sautinm
from Jefferson, and where thousands
have enjoyed the hospitality of its
late owner, for he had the generous
heart of the true pioneer and the latch
string was alwaye out,
- Francis M. Miller was born in 1842,
near Gialesburg. Illinois, roming .with
hie parents ta Oregon in 1850, locating
on the farm where C9 years of his life
were passed. Hero he grew to man
hood, working hard and enjoying the
esteem of all, honest and liberal in
his dealings and raipidly acquiring the
competence to which he was justly en
titled. In tho early 10 'a ho was united
in marriage to Miss Nancy Bowman,
who, togethor with two children, A. A.
Miller and Mrs. Nora Holt,, both of
Jeffeisou, and a foster daughter, Mrs.
Nanna Miller Looney, near this city,
survive him. No man was more true te
his friends than was F. M. Miller, and1
he had a largo number of them. He
never refused aid to a person whom he
deemed deserving and many owe their
succoss to help extended by him, A
couplo 'of yearB ago ho turned over
tha active management of his fine
farm to his grand sons and moved te
Jefferson, but still kept a close run of,
farm matters. For some months he has
known that ithe end was approaching,
but did not eeem to caro. Ho said he
had lived his allotted time and did
not fear the transition. A post mortem
proved that his death was due to
tumor in the stomach, frcim which he
suffered much during tho last few
months. Jofferson Review.

YOUR HEALTH
By ANDREW F. CURRIER, M. D.
Goitre No. 2.
The greatj Importance of the thy
roid gland Is manifest from the fact
that, when removed from animals,
such animals become stunted and
deformed and do not mature nor
mally. The disease is treated by both
medical and surgical measures,
good results having been obtained
by each method.
The plan of treatment with many
doctors Is medical as long as this
appears to be of any benefit, after
, which resort Is had to surgery.
A serum has been prepared by in
jecting solutions of human thyroid
tissue into sheep, removing the
serum subsequently from the blood
of the animals so treated.
It has been tried in thousands of
cases, removing the bad symptoms
ln many Instances, though the tu
. mor itself may not have disap
peared. A few cases have been reported
as entirely cured by sheep serum
or other medicinal means, while
many cases have undertone great
improvement
There have been few deaths after
using suitable medical and hygienic
measures.
Various procedures are possible
when surgical Intervention is de
cided upon.
The entire gland is now seldom
removed, the removal of a portion
being supposed to produce better
results ln many of the cases.
When a portion of the gland Is
left U may, enlarge again, and of
course It is possible that the opera
tion may require repetition.
The results of surgical treatment
have naturally been much better In
the hands of those who ape skillful
and have had large experience, than
in the hands of those who are less
skillful.
: The Mayo brothers of Rochester,
Minnesota, recently reported five
thousand cases which bad been un
der their care; and the Kochers of
Berne. Switzerland, have probably
treated as many, or more.
Good Judgment is absolutely es
sential to success, otherwise an
operation may make a patient
worse or leave him unimproved,
even If he survives the operation.
The operation isj not one for
amateurs. Some cases of the di
sease have been treated with the
X-ray, and it may relieve s"5me of
the symptoms without helping
others.
On the whole, there is some
doubt about its beneficial action.
The entire subject of treatment ot
this condition is hopeful, and its
prospects for the future are good.
Questions and Answers.
V.B. In November I was oper
ated upon for Hernia and tht
operation resulted in an opening in

you what the result of the opera
tions will be, but, assuming that
you are being treated by good sur
geons, I should think that you had
good cause for hope. I know how
difficult such operations are, but I
have seen many operations of this
nature turn out successfully; so I
hope you will cheer up and expect
good results.
