Peel's Report to British Pre- j mier Changed England's Policy. * The year 1845 brought 3,000 peo-: pie with "54-40 or fight" blazoned j on their wagon covers. "Yes," they ; said, "Polk is elected; and we will j fight for Oregon." The brother of the Earl of Aber-! deen was in Puget Sound with a ' British fleet awaiting events. Sir j Robert Peel, prime minister of Eng-j land, sent his son, William Peel, and ! Captain Parke, of the royal marines, to investigate the Oregon problem. They saw the incoming vans. "Hopelessly Americanized," was their fre>; quent exclamation. Parke and Peel rode up the Wil- i liamette valley and were entertained by the settlers. "Tell us how you j '-j came to Oregon," they asked at the ' . house of Applegate. He gave them the story of the pioneers of 1843. \ "Such men would make the finest > ' soldiers in the world," said Peel. They stopped at Nesmith's. He staked their horses on the grass and invited them into his cabin, 14 feet; square, with puncheon floor, mud chimney and not a pane of glass, j The furniture had been made by the future senator himself, with an ax and auger.

Twenty-five years after one of those officers met Senator Nesmith in Washington. "Do you recall that I - was once your guest in Oregon?" he said. V Nesmith attempted an apology for' the brevity of their bill of fare at that time. * "My dear sir," interrupted the po-; lite Englishman, "the fare was splen- ! did and we enjoyed it hugely. You gave us the best you had; the Prince of Wales could do no more." From Nesmith's house Lieutenant Peel returned to Puget Sound and took a special ship to London.

Unexpected Guests No Longer Welcome in American Homes. Hospitality seems to be almost a lost art in the present age. * The days when the unexpected stranger at the door was bidden in to eat and sleep are past. In some parts of the West, however, one still finds that open hearted hospitality ' in homes where the host and his wif/s are always glafi to welcome any traveler who happens to come to their door. But the modern housewife of the East is almost unacquainted with im promptu entertaining. She must be forewarned in plenty of time before she will even attempt to dine a friend. It is rather a pity that this highest form of hospitality should be allowed to die out. After all, it is not much of a tax on one's hospitality to entertain a friend or two at dinner or lunch when the invitation has been'given out a week or so in advance. But one's true metal as a hostess is shown when a friend arrives unexpectedly for lunch or when the man of the house turns up with a business acquaintance or two for dinner. That is a sort of a situation which tests the real value of one's hospitality, and unfortunately very few housewives rise to such occasions at all successfully. Don't let impromptu hospitality die out in your home. Encourage your husband to bring his friends home for dinner and your daughter to bring her girl chums to lunch. Keep a stock of canned goods always ready on your shelves and a supply of clean iaDie nneii m jum linen closet for such occasions.? Irish World. Worth While. Dennis was plainly worried.

To the negro man born north of the Mason and Dixon line this does not apply for he has had the opportunity to become accustomed to the climatic conditions. Most of these men, too, have employment, because of their peculiar racial characteristics, whcrv they are not exposed to the elements day after day. Many of the negroes coming to the North today have owned little farms in the South which they have sold to stake their all on the venture into the unknown country, the praises of which have been sung by sirens having but little regard for thej tmth Unused to the ways of the! city, these uninformed children of nature have fallen easy victims to unscruplous whites on their arrival in the North and the few dollars of I the little hoard, a small fortune in i their eyes, has soon dwindled to j nothing and to the shame of the j white man it can be said the un- j scrupulous one had not left his victim ! until every dollar possible has been obtained.
