Official Paper of Coos County. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. THIS IS THE ANNIVERSARY of the birth of Abraham Lincoln -who represents In history the ligheiR ideals of modern progressive America. There never lived in the Trestem hemisphere one who so com pletely embodied in himself the best features of every class of citizenship. Be was, par excellence, the composite American, as Bismark was the com posite German and Gladstone the composite Englishman. It is not be littling Washington to say that he "belonged to a clas3. The father of lis country stand3 in the ranks of immortality as the founder of a Re public and the sponser of an inde pendent empire. But Lincoln has an immortality in which all humanity 5a -directly concerned. The-heart of a man more, than his Dlnd determines his value to the world. None shall truthfully say that Lincoln was not possessed of a great mind for he displayed It on every Important occasion and he was qusl to every emergency. Homely, simple, direct, democratic and earnest .he was like the homely, simple and democratic nation which grew up in the name of mankind without king or bishop to control it and with only the Influence of truth and love to xxalco manifest the principles of lib erty and equality. The two greatest figures In American life thus far are Washington and Lincoln, the former well described as for the people and the Utter better described as being lot only for but of the people. The name of Lincoln grows In lame and glory as the heart of Lin coln 'Is better understood and appre ciated. Among the, lives of the an cients so splendidly illuminated by the classic biographer Plutarch, there Is no name worthy to be compared or contrasted with Lincoln's. There Is jjo name in history which can be compared unless it be that of Moses who led the Children of Israel out of bondage. But Lincoln's work for ziankind was not merely the eman cipation of a fettered race, but the annunciation of a principle of liberty Jor aii humanity, not only for today lirt for all ages to come. All of us are concerned In what Lincoln said and did and we celebrate his birth with, Increasing zeal each passing year realizing that whatever befalls ifcero will never again be such a tafng as chattel slavery In this coun try and probably not long In any part of the world. And the cause vl human liberty will grow until all the shackles by which the human mind has been fettered and enslaved will bo removed In the name of this ercat composite American whoso nativity wo have this day celebrated. 1JNCOLN AS AN INVENTOR What I claim as my invention and doslro to secure by letters patent, is the combination of ex- pansible buoyant chambers plac 0 -l at tho sides of a vessel ft inch a manner that by turn- UnziU main shaft In ono direc- 'itva the buoyant chambers will ho forcud down under tho water and at tho same timo expanded and filled with air for buoying np the vossel over shoals.

PINEQOR, Secretary. -44 4 44 4, 44 WITH THE J TflflQT AHn TPfl GOOD EVENING. The kind of world one car ries about In one's self Is the important thing, and the world outside takes all its grace, color and value from that. Selected. Does Mamma Wish She Was Pa? "I wish I had a lot of cash," Sez pa, one winter's night; "I'd go down South an' stay awhile Where days are warm and bright." He set an watched the fire die Seemed lost in thoughtful daze.) Till ma brought In some fresh pine knots An made a cheerful blaze. "I wish I had a million shares O stock In Standard OH," Sez pa, "I wouldn't do a thing." Ma made the kettle boil. An' mixed hot biscuits, fried some ham An' eggs (smelt good, you bet! ) Fetched cheese and doughnuts, made the tea. Then pa set down an et! "I wish I was a millionaire," , Sez pa; "I'd have a snap." Next, from the lounge, we heard a snore; Pa at his ev'nin' nap! Ma did the dishes, shook the cloth, Brushed up, put things away, An' fed the cat, then started up Her pians for bakin' day. She washed an put some beans to soak. An' set some bread to rise; Unstrung dried apples, soaked 'em too, AH ready for her pies; She brought more wood, put out the darned four pairs 'o socks; Pa woke, an' 6ez, "It's time for bed; Ma, have you wound both clocks?" Mary F. K. Hutchinson. When a man is in dishabille, is he wearing more or less than when he has nothing on? Let some one shout "Shorty" in a crowd of men, and every tall man in the crowd will look up.' When a real fat man gets on a night shirt, he looks as if he were trying to conceal a keg on his person. When children are told what a smart man their father is, they look at their mother, as if asking her if they are to believe it. When a stranger comes to town, his intention Is to take away more money than he leaves. If he doesn't do it, he misses his guess and if it Is some advertising fake he usually gets away with the goods on. Accdrdlng to New York faddists, the truest secret of happiness is to have letters of your name properly tuned. Some happiness could be ob tained in this world, though, If the neighbors would occasionally have their piano tuned. "What," asks inquisitive Alex. Miller in the Washington Democrat, "would the boys do if they had to buy a new suit every time there Is a big dance?" Frankly, our guess is that t j boys would stay aw - r from more dances thaan they attend. Just so lonoly just tonight Other faces smile so bright, Lonely lot and lonely den. Ono time peaco and comfort too Under skies that seemed so blue, A difference now and then. And in the lonely hours and moods Over the past memory broods, T'ls the ashes gone to dust. And tho life that nears Its end Tho memories cannot mend Living, dead, we find the rust. Just so lonoly, just tonight Other faces smile so bright, Lonely lot and lonely den. Ono time, peace and comfort too Under skies that soomed so blue A difference now and then. "Billy" Cox Is not tho only Papa In tho world, but his most intimate frionds and erstwhile associates can not convince him of the fact. He proudly says, "Gentlemen, I am the fathor of a boy born January 23, '09, and while only two weeks old, I can distinctly decipher undisputable signs of Btatemanshlp, should ho be spared to mature. He Is christened Claude Calvin Cox three C's. see? and' yon can recognize the great ; United States and the stars and stripes irom nis ting toes to tne top of his intelligent head. THE POETS CORNER. The Boy On Deck. The boy stood on the burning deck. He did not need to go. For the flames shone o'er that awful wreck In a moving picture show. GEO. GOODRUM. On a Certain Spot. Willie played at hunting redskins, Tore his clothes but captured none; When he went home, with her slip per Mother gave him one. TOM HALL. Minute But Merry. A little widow now and then Plays havic with the single men. She smites our hearts with glances bright. Beware, O men, the widow's smite. L. A. L-j-q-st. Germs Tliat Get Away. The germs of a kiss are a source of alarm; At least so the doctors say. There are germs in a frown, but they do no harm. Because they can't get away. W. J. CONRAD. A Girl's Majority. She's pretty, so she has confessed And she thinks she is authority And words of suitors, by whom she's pressed, Put her plainly in the majority. W. F. McKEE.
