GUNNERS SAINT A WOMAN. How Saint Barbara Came to Be the Patron of Artillerymen. LONDON, Jan. 16. The festival of St.

Barbara, which was celebrated recently, recalls the singular fact that a woman is the patron saint of artillerymen. How this came about is thus explained St. Barbara was the daughter of a wealthy heathen named Dioscurus, jdo, in order to keep her from the outside worid, shut her up in a tower. Returning one day from a journey, he found that, despite his precautions, his daughter had become a- Christian. He compelled her to appear before the Prefect, who, after much questioning and exhorting, condemned her to death by beheading, and her own father carried out the sentence.

On his way home he was struck by lightning and his body consumed. In the course of time this legend caused St. Barbara to come to be regarded an the patron saint for protection against thunderstorms and fire, and later, when artillery was invented, by some curious analogy, as the patron of artillerymen and miners.

A microbe lingers in a kiss they say; Ah, yes, but he nibbles in a pleasant sort of way.

Is there a matrimonial microbe? That should prove an interesting problem for scientists and indications are that Coos Bay offers finest field for research along those lines of any section of the country. Just now. It is in the throes of a matrimonial epidemic and the microbe theory seems readily acceptable. The latest victim is True Board-man, the handsome young actor with the James Keane Company. Mr.

Boardman has traveled all over the United States from the Great White Way, in New York City where the roar of the Atlantic may be heard, to Market Street, San Francisco, where the Pacific after rolling through the Golden Gate loves the dock at the foot of that famous thoroughfare in the Western metropolis. He has been with some nf the best theatrical companies in the country, and met some of the most fetching and fascinating women in the country both on and off the stage. Sometime since he met Miss Virginia Eames, a charming young actress, they travelled with soine of the best companies on the road and later appeared together a vaudeville sketch on the Orpheum circuit. Of course, they held each other in high esteem but not until they arrived on Coos Bay did the matrimonial microbe get in its deadly work. When they were here one week they both agreed that wedded life was the only one worth living.

The date for the ceremony was set for Sunday, but by muutal agreement they fooled their friends and Saturday afternoon at 4 oclock Justice Pennock pronounced the words that made True Boardman and Miss Virginia Eames man and wife. Miss Eames mother and Miss Neva West and other members of the Keane Company were present and Saturday appeared on the stage and played' their parts as usual. Miss Eames is pretty and talented and has already won recognition on the stage. During her appearance here she has made her way to the hearts of theatregoers by her charming manner and clever work.
