ivFSwW" THE DAILY COOS BAY TIM6S. MARSHFIELD, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBERS, 190d. later: ( t 1 II 1 P. 3. ' The Scrap Book Anything For a Change, "I am tlrea of seeing that cyerlast Ins mackerel brought in for break fast," grumbled a boarder, "and I In tend to speak to the landlady about It" Some of his fellow victims ap plauded, but most of them doubted his courage. The matter was under dis cussion when tho landlady appeared. "Miss Prunella," began the bold boarder, "I was about to say In regard to the Mackerel that wo desire a change," , "IfB good mackerel," responded tho landlady grimly, "and there will be no change." "Then, for heaven's sake," resumed the bold boarder, "order the girl to bring it In tall first for awhile." NEXT DOOR. We saw the tapers burn In the home bo close to oun; But. however our hearts might yearn. We dared not send our flowers He will not understand," wo said, "Our loving thought of his loved dead." O city, thus you hide Tho pity In every heart! Those who are at our side Tou sundor a world apart. A little barrier built of stone, And my neighbor grieves alone, alone. , Smart Set. Got It Cheap. "A corruptlonlst," said a senator, "noo entered a voter's house. In the voter's absence ho pleaded his cause to the man's wlfo. Finally, spying a (wretched kitten on the floor, he said: "lli give you $25 for that animal, DM'tm.' ,' "Sho accepted those terms. ' "Tho corruptlonlst, thrusting tho kit Am in hts pocket; rose to go. At the oor ho said: 1 "1 do hopo you can persuade your trasband to vote fon me, ma'am.' ; " Til try to,' said tho woman, though 'im8 a hard one to move when his Blind's made up; bat, anyhow, you've got a real cheap kitten there. Your opponent was in yesterday and gave eqo $00 for its brother.' " Orders Must Bo Obeyed, "A martinet," said a military officer, ia generally a fool. "They tell a story of a martinet of tho oivil war, a captain. He got orders from headquarters one day that his tnea wore to change their undershirts. M Tint, captain,' said a sergeant, to whom this order was communicated, 'tho men only have one undershirt each.' "- "Tho captain frowned. Then ho said: "No matter. Military commands moat bo obeyed. Lot the men change bndershixts with each other.' " 4'Dlditt Buy. Among the older rank of San Fran- tscans, says the Argonaut; there is n ttlzcn eminent in the world of flnanco ind liberal enough in all large ways o nevertheless Is a llttlo "near" rhea. it comes to trifles. He is ready mough to accept those courtesies vhlch still mark the meetings and roottngs of the old style San Francis- an, but he has rarely been known ilmself to stand treat Recently he ramo upon a crony loitering, as if jjraltmg for somebody, near the en- -rance to a well known bar. "Hello, lobf he mild. "What arc you doing erer" It was an opportunity long de- lred, and tho gentleman addressed inaae- tho, most of it "Well, John," he replied, "I'm Just waiting round for somebody to come along and buy mo a drink." "All right" was tho reply, I'll I'll Join youl" A Porecaet An Irish fireman applied for a place ma engineer. He answered the officials' eevre question during the examina tion In a satisfactory manner until one asked, ' Suppose you were running your engine sixty miles an hour on a Ingle track and, running around a euro, saw another engine come to ward you at the same speed and only a short distance away, what would yoa doT" "I'd Mesa myself." Llpplncottte. Burr's Fierce Retort. Aaron Burr at ono time attended a church in Albany where all tho aris tocracy of the town was to be found on each Sunday. Soon he fell Into tho practleo of being late, and finally tho wardens of tho church naked the min ister to reprimand him openly. On the next Sunday when Burr entered late as usual tbe minister stopped In the middle of his sonnon and said. "Sir, I hall appear at the Judgment seat fcgtlnst youf Dnrr gaeed at him placidly and an swered, "Sir, In all my practice I have found that claw of criminals that turns stnto's evidence tho most to bo despised." Thoro were no moro public wprlmands in that church. A Qiim of Chanoe. Tho belated husband carefully In serted his koy In the lock, slowly oponed'tha door and entered the dark hallway on tiptoe. Shutting the door noiselessly behind him, he turned to ascend the stairs, whon the form of his wlfo loomed up before him and he started back. "Oh, It's you, dear?" ho blurted, smil ing guiltily. "And you haven't retired, .worrying about mo I Really, dear, I had no Idea It was so late. Tva very sorry, but you sec." he went on to ex plain, gaining confldenco through his vlfa's silence "you see, dear, I be ame so Interested in a little gamo of whist that I didn't hear the hour trifca on the clock at tho cl" -Ootobodr Without another word he obeyed M stood below and watched him0811?" 8 ho (sheepishly ascend the stairs to bis room. As his door closed after him the hall clock chimed tho hour, and, smiling grimly, she emitted a deep sigh and murmured: "Three! It's a lucky thing I got in firstl" Particular on That Head. An American, while visiting Kings ton, Canada, saw flames issuing from a houso he chanced to be passing at noontime. Rushing nround tho corner, he burst into a fire engine station, shouting "Fire!" At his entrance and cry an old man, the only occupant of the station, who sat reading a newspaper, slowly arose, carefully deposited his paper on tho chair and hobbled over to a desk, on which was a largo book. "Now," said fie, taking up a pencil and opening this volume, while the American stared lti amazement "wot's the street and number?" "I don't know, but it's Just around the corner!" "Well, you'd better go back and find out the number," advised tho old man, shutting the book. "When the boys git back from dinner and bear there's a fire, they'll bo pretty anxious to know Just where it is!" Embraced Them All, "Nowhere, not even in Russia, are the girls so pretty as in America," said a visiting Russian. "It seems wrong and stingy that a man can only marry ono of them. Every American, sur rounded by all this beauty, must envy tho snap that a friend of mine In Rus sia had. 'So you are engaged,' a man said to my friend, 'to one of tho beau tiful Vromsky triplets, eh? 'Yes,' my friend replied. 'But how can you tell them apart?' the man asked. 'I don't try,' said my friend." Hit tho Wrong Target. A Richmond man bought a turkey from old Uncle Ephralm and asked him In making the purchase if it was a tamo turkey. "Oh, yals, sir; it's a tamo tu'key ol right" "Now, Ephralm, aro you sure It's a tame turkey V "Oh, yais, sir; deres no so't o' doubt 'bout dat Ifs a tame tu'key ol right" He consequently bought the turkey, and n day or two later when eating It ho camo across several shot Later on, when he mot old Ephralm on the street he said: "Well, Ephralm, you told mo that was a tamo turkey, but I found somo shot in it when I was eating It." "Oh, dat war a tame tu'key ol right," was Uncle Ephralm's reiterated rejoin der, "but de fac' Is, boss, I's gwlne to tell yer In confidence dat dein dcre shot was intended for me." Quito Qood Enough. She had Just lecelved a messago through the telephone and, still hold ing the receiver to her ear, said to her husband: "The Thompsons want us to dlno with them tonight Is It good enough?" Before ho could speuk over the wire tho answer came: "Yes; qulto good enough. Come along." An Ideal of Patriotism. Let our object be our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country. And, by the blessing of God, may that country Itself become a vast and splendid monument not of op pression nnd terror, but of wisdom, of peace and of liberty, upon which the world may gaze with admiration for ever. Daniel Webster. Eiity Bookkeeping. A young husband, finding that hla pretty but rather extravagant wife was considerably exceeding their in come, brought hor home one day a neat little account book. This he pre sented to her, together with $50. "Now, my dear," he said, "I want you to put down what I glvo you on this side, and on tho other write down the way It goes, and In n fortnight I will give you another supply." A couple of weeks later ho asked for the book. "Oh, I have kept tho account all right!" said his wlfo. "See hero It la." On ono page was Inscribed, "Re ceived from WIlllo ?50," nnd on the opposite page was tho comprehensive llttlo summary, "Spent It all." Calming Him Down. "If women Just had a little tact and didn't fly to pieces their own selves when their husbands git to Jnwin' and tenrin' around, thcie'd be less trouble in fam'llos," said Sirs. Grim to a neigh bor. "I supposo that's so," replied the neighbor. "I know 'tis," replied Mrs. Grim. "Do you suppose I lose my head nnd my tongue and go all to pieces and suy things I'm sorry for afterward when Grim gets into ono of his tantrums? Well, I don't. I Just keep cool and calm him down." "How do you calm him down?" "Well, sometimes with u stick and Ig'ln with a broom handle, or mebbe I'll grab up n pall o' water nnd douso It all over him. There's plenty o' ways to calm a man down If a woman will only keep cool herself nnd try 'em." A Real 8urprlae, "Whero are you goln', nm?" asked the youngest of tho fie children. Tin going to a smprlso party, Jny dear," answered the mother, "Are we all goln' too?" Wo, dear. You wereu't Invited. After a few moments' deep thought: "Bay, ma, then don't jou think they'd be lots moro surprised If you did ud THE FAMOUS PANTHEON. Magnificent Tomb of Many of the Great Men of France. The Pantheon in which the attempt was made to assassinate Major Drey fus has been called tbe Westminster abbey of France. Famous men of Franco are entombed there On its site Clovls built a church to the apos tles. It has been sacred ground slnco BOO years after tho birth of Christ The church built by Clovls was de stroyed by Norman pirates about the year 1000. It was replaced by the ab bey of St Genevieve, of which now only tho bell tower remains. Louis XV. built tho Pantheon. It was a splendid pile, tho combined work of two famous French architects, Souf Hot and Rondelet It Is in the form of a Greek cross. In front it has a su perb portico of twenty-two Corinthian columns slxty-flvo feet high, reposing on a magnificent perron of twelvo mighty steps. In tho Interior are six teen windows, with thirty-two Corin thian columns, and high 'above all, moro than 300 feet In the air, stretches Us vast dome. Here lie Mirabeau, Voltaire, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Marshal Lannes and many other famous Frenchmen. Tho building is filled with superb fres coes, and it is the goal of every ambi tious Frenchman to find a resting place here among tho honored dead of his race. Napoleon tho Great took the Pan theon and turned It over to the eccle siastical authorities, who once more called the structure the Church of St. Genevieve, but It still remulned In tho eyes of all Frenchmen the resting place of the hero dead of their race. Lanncs was .burled in Its crypt. Then came Portalls, Cnbanls. Vlun. La grange, Bougainville. In nil, thirty nine Napoleonic heroes, statesmen nud great citizens were put there, with grandiose processions, cannons boom ing, solemn music, solemn discourse, flngs and flowers, with vast multitudes surrounding. With the restoration Louis XVIII., liking tho Pantheon Idea without the Pantheon name, hnd Gros begin tho great work of interior decoration. In tho high part of the dome he painted tho apotheosis of St Genevieve. Dur ing this period a few statesmen and soldiers had tho honor of being buried in tho crypt. Soufflot was the last. In 1820; then came the popular revolution of 1830. During the siege of Paris the crypt was used as a powder magazine. When the leaders of the commune were pressed down that way they took It for headquarters. The ecclesiastical authorities remain ed in charge from tho second empire until 1885. Tho death of Victor Hugo put thorn to embarrassment. The French government decreed that tho great poet be put In the Pantheon crypt, and as ho went In the eccle siastical authorities went out. It has been said that Voltaire and Rousseau had been taken out years previously. Then years ago, therefore, the republic wished to know the truth. Reverently, scientifically and historically tho two sepulchers were opened. They were found Intact In 1880 parliament decreed that the remains of four more Napoleonic he roes be transported to the Pantheon. They were Lazaro Carnot grandfather of tho martyred president; Mnrceau, "colonel at sixteen and general at twenty-one;" Bnudln, the Republican revolutionary representative of 1848, and De la Tour d'Auvergne, "the pre mier grenadier of France." Baltlmoro American. Trying to Age Violins. While a man In Philadelphia has been trying to invent a varnish that will make n new, cheap violin sound like a Strndlvnrlus, a well known vio linist and maker of the Instruments has been working along a different Hue to secure tho same effect. He says that age has nothing to do directly with the tone of a violin; that tho amount of "bowing" it receives is what makes tho tone superior. Ho makes use of nn electrical machine which sends vibrations through the in strument and he claims that In thirty days as much bowing can bo given tho violin by this means ns it would get In fifty years In tho ordinary way. Pathfinder. A Lake of Oil. Five miles south and west of Glenn pool, Tulsn, on the Korndorfor lease, the Prairie Oil and Gas company has drilled in, at a depth of 2,340 feet, a well of high grade oil, offsetting an other big well at tho same depth pro ducing tho same grade of oil. This strike is remarkable In that both these wells are at least 000 feet deeper than wells in tbe Glenn pool and reveal en tirely new sand, with eery Indication that the entire country thereabout is underlaid with a lake of high grade oil at a depth until now never discovered. It is possible that many If not all wells In tho Creek oil fields will in time be drilled to the new sand. Kansas City Journal. The Blows of Chanoe. Chancellor Klrkland of Vanderbllt unlvcrslty-is known to his students by tho briefer namo of 'Chance." Besides beiug chief executive, he Is nlso head professor of Lathi and, the boys say, prize long talker at chapel exercises. Ono day while conducting a class In Horace, ho called on n certain student to read, ubo did so In utter innoceuco nnd absolute accuracy as follows: "It Is hard for us to endure tbe blows of chance." The class burst out In a roar of laughter, nnd n the "Chance" Joined in the dumfounded student perceived tho lutdern algnlilcanco of ancient words.
