Address All Communications to COOS HAY DAILY TIMES Marshfleld ..... Oregon MENTAL POVEItTY. Recently u New York merchant who was rich enough to retire killed him self because the closing up of busi ness left him nothing to do The man s whole mind had been wrapped up in the potty cares of his business, nnd with these eliminated ho was like a fish out of water. A little less greed for wealth and more kindness of hu man nature, with trust in other peo ple, would have saved that hopeless poverty of mind. The uonnnl man makes money In order to use it for a variety of noble purposes. lie may be a man of fads or a man of social and civic duties. Even his fads may bo beneficial to others, and they certainly give bim something to live for. In China tho man is trained throughout his career to bo ready to retire at a certain age. Tho event is no surprise, and he drops naturally Into diversions which be has found attractive. Every active man should have side lines of Interest growing up nbout him. Then relief from business cares will come as a pleasure, not as a calamity. CHIMES PHAYEH HOOKS. Organized society Is just now paying unusual attention to tho work of an tagonizing crime and aids to the de velopment of criminal Impulse and In stinct. We nil know how easy It Is to see tho mote and overlook the beam. Thcro is a beam, and n good sir.ed growth it is, too, in the magazine and novel stories which treat of crimes nnd give minute directions as to crim inal methods. When tho results of crime are depleted In stories and the Inevitable moral deduced therefiotn the use of cilme to ghe point to a btory is not objectionable. But the careful working out of the method of a par ticular crime merely to mnUe a novel an lutcicsiing btory is to let loose a Hood of moral poison. The miiid which can find Intel est In such stuff la mor bid. If joimg and wc.tk, it is certain to Imbibe the poison and paj over all the moral lesson implied. Parents are careful to keep their children from association witli the children of vicious lamllles for tear of the example that might be bet them by such association. Hut the story is also a companion, and the fact that it is pi luted and finds a place on the fam ily reading table gives It a certain warrant In the eyes of youth. There is enough curious and entertaining fic tion which Is also harmless to keep all the boys and girls amused every leisure hour of their lives. The strug gle of a boy or girl in honest endeavor is tho most interesting subject ever taken up by an author. Many years ago tho prints wens filled with stories of poor boys who made their way to the top In New York, then the one metropolis of tho western world. These talcs were exciting and elevating. Youth revels in stories of real boy hood, ns of Lincoln and Webster, for Instance. Therein is found inspiration for toll and self denial. Hut tho print ed biography of a successful criminal, whether It treats of fact or fiction, Is only a text book for surreptitious schooling In crime. Careful of His Health. "ITnve you ever rend 'Looking Back ward?'" "No." "Do rend It." "Not me." "Why?" "Doing anything backward nlwnys makes mo seasick." Wasted Effort. "I hear, Miss Pink, that you wero almost drowned last summer?" "Yes, I had a imirnw escape," "Somebody lescue you?" "No. It was the most provoklug thing you ever beaitl of. There wasn't a man In s-lght, and I bad to swim ashore unaided." Selfish. "Why, I wouldu't glvo that to n dog." "Ah, I see; keep it yourself." j Willi the Toast and Teaj i GOOD EVENING.

Picture a Mayor who is surely a prize: Picture a council where discord ne'er lies; Picture the city with every street paved; Picture the heap of the money thus saved ; Picture the housewife who works but eight hours; Picture the lover who never gives flowers; Picture the children at nine o'clock home; Picture the old man who never will roam ; Picture the hotel all finished, com plete; Picture the harbor we'd have for the fleet; Picture a -10 foot bar at tho mouth; Picture the shipments we'd send to the south; Picture Broadway, brick blocks on each side; Picture tho seawall that keeps out the tide; Picture Marshficld with not a saloon; Picture our mail coming in by bal loon; Picture tho log that C. A. Smith can not saw; These are all pictures no artist can draw! Picture oil wells on each acre of ground; Picture the way that the money'd go 'round; Picture the merchants refusing the cash ; Picture tho boarding house not serv ing hash; Picture a project with L. J. Simpson left out; Picture a campaign where no one will shout; Picture Jack Carter the least bit afraid; Picture Ivy Condron in a German parade; Picture tho mail arriving on time; Picture Millicoma poets not talking In rhyme; Picture tho editor not saying "Wo"; Picture tho schoolgirl not saying "Gee"!

If Coos county votes dry It will take some Murahflold people's breath away. A Boston scientist says that Mars Is slowly drying up. Is Coos county doing the same tiling? "Put your money In a piano," ad vertises a San Francisco dealer. Has it come to that in tho Bay City banks surely must bo shaky. LISTEXS LIKE GOSS. The Quite Plain. "They tell mo ho is brighter than ho looks." "Ho looks as though bo might be." H " A British medical Journal asserts that lying is duo to indigestion. If this is true thcro should ho u largo domand for digestive tablets on Coos Bay. Says tho Coos Bay Times "Plant Sails." Why? What will tho har vest bo? Do they plant sails to ralso tho wind or to ralso tho anchor? Why not buy sails and pi tut pota toes? Astoria Leader. When It Is Near Home. Graft doesn't seem exactly wrong To those who prollt by It. They call It by another annio Ami by that means deny It, And they regard plain spoken men As cruel nnd unfeeling Who do not beat about tho bush, But speak of It as stealing. A little raltcoff on the slJo Is not to them t matter Tlmt calls for any loud remarks Or eosslps' Idle chatter. If any ono comes butting In, They ask him to forget It. They need tho money, and this seems An easy way to got It. Their salary Is small enough. And padding comes In handy To get tho things they need at homo And buy the children candy. And If their consclcnco ever pricks They tell It to be quiet Or they may have to get along On a moro modest diet. And then they see a host of men By every ono respected Whose wealth would never stand tho test If carefully Inspected, And so their modest llttlo graft Don't bother them a minute In fact, they're only soro because Thcro arc not millions In It. IIEAHI) AT THE MILLICOMA. Some people aie honest in spite of themselves, and others are honest in spite of the rascals. When you are no better than yn: have to be you aie uo better than .mi should be. There Is nobody more apt to mal-e mistake than the cocksure man. A self satisfied individual d need any guardian angel, for lnn'.i can reach him to barm him. The callouses on the hands of s-i, of our friends were undoubtedly tin by the handles of their little hammer When we aren't really ourselves tb chances are that his satanic majesi;, can throw more light upon who e are than anybody else can. When the really large things of life show up no bigger than a bam sand wich the chances nre that you are hungry and don't see the sandwich. There is no use in a quarrel, but somo people seem to get a lot of fuu out of it. Everybody is always taking a good sound whack at the fellow who is al ways afraid of getting hurt. Most of us are always willing to look at the best side of an untoward thing, but are too often unable to find it. Sudden showers still remind us That if we would not be caught Unprepared, the rain should find us With the umbrellas others bought. Negative Pay. "What are you doing for a living?" "Dodging grip germs." "But there is no salary connected with that." "Very true, but I save so much on doctor bills that I don't need a salary." Both Look Good. "Are you interested in politics?" "Very much." "Which party do you want to see win?" "I wouldn't be presumptuous enough to say ono deserves success more than the other." "1 thought you were Interested In politics." "I am. I mako campaign buttous." of Annual Convention of Coos County Lodges in Marsh field Tomorrow.
