REFLECTIONS FOR BACHELORS. -y HERE IS compensation In all I things, Including even the mar- H riage relation. Postmaster Gen eral Hitchcock, the only bachelor in the cabinet, spent a lonely Thanks giving day in his Washington apart ments. , On these occasions of family cheer and festivity, with their happy re unions of eager faces, the reflection is borne in upon the mind and heart of every man who ought to be mar ried but isn't that out of his life are left tho influences which make for tho deeper emotions and the happi ness that satisfies. On Christmas, too, and on Memo rial day and at high Echool and col lege commencement, men of mature years who have chosen to live the selfish life are made to feel by the deep spirit of tho hour that they are beings apart. Tho life of many of them is a slowly deepening tragedy. Year after year their circle of home living acquaintances becomes more narrow, their pleasures more selfish, their diameter less admirable. It is good to bear a man's burdens and live the well-roundedi life of the family circle, with nil it involves of belt-denial and care and watch fulness for others, and tho fuller duty to tho hearthflre, the state and God. fl EAV REALIZE that Uncle Sam is 1 in dead earnest in his gigantic projects being carried on by tho "United States government reclama tion service." The town of Cody, Wyoming, enjoys the reputation of being the home of "Buffalo Bill," (Col. W. F". "Cody) of "Wild West Show" fame. But It now has an other "wonder" in the newly con structed government dam across the canyon of the Shoshone river. This stream is a mountain torrent that shoots out from the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains at Cody and drains a part of the Big Horn basin. The dam is built as strong as stone and cement can make it and is thrown across the canyon at Its nar rowest point. It Is 310 feet high, 110 feet thick at its base and 10 feet thick at its top. By means of this and other prac tical projects the government is re deeming millions of acres of barren sagebrush land and covering them with waving fields of grain. 8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8 8-8-8-8-8- I (ton Hag 0 Bmnl xht i ;-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-tt-H-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8 -8-8-8-8-8 CONSIDER THE REPORTER. HEN WE consider that Huason did not discover New York bay, but that Verrazzano did; when we consider that Fulton did not invent the steamboat, but that Fitch did; when wo consider that Bell did not invent the telephone, that Morse did not Invent the tele graph, that Gutenberg did not invent the printing press, that Morton did not .discover anaesthesia, that Dar win did not discover evolution, that Shakespeare did not write "Hamlet," that Homer did not write the Iliad, that Galileo did not say, "And .still It moves," that Wellington did not say "Up guards and at them," that Washington did not win tho battles of the revolution, that Robespierre' did not create the reign of terror, that Nero was not a monster, that Cleopatra was not beautiful when we reflect that history is emblazoned with the titles of usurpers and that true merit lies unchronlcled in the grave, let us address a word or two of apology to that much-berated ene my of tho truth, the newspaper. If history with a thousand years' lei sure at her disposal, cannot .find out just who set up a new throne or pull ed down an old one, let us forgive the reporter, If he misspells the Christian name of the prominent citi zen who has just returned from a trip to Ten Mile. NEW STEPS IN MANUAL TRAINING. AVI I AT ONE AVOMAX'S CLUB DOES Hi: Woman's Park Club of AVallai Walla, Wash., is giving a fine domonstiatlon of tho service that w onion may lender In behalf of civic improvement. Of course the womon's clubs which aro devoted to educational and musical Intorests oc cupy an important plac'o among tho organizations that work for the highest wolfnre of tho community, but thoro Is nlso room for societies of women with purposes like that of tho park club. Many distinguished women have urged tholr sex to show at least as much interest In civic Impiovement as in solf-ciilturo. A largo number of clubs throughout tho country de voto their attention to specific work for tholr towns, and moro would do so if they knew how to make a be ginning. Tho A. X. AV. Club of Marshflold, and tho Beautiful Ameri ca Club of North Bond, doservo credit for the excollcnt services thoy liavo rendered tho community by tholr exhibition of public spirit. Tho Walla AValln women aro to btilld a children's summer house, with a rent room for mothers who eomo to the park with tholr chlldron, toilet rooms nnd nn open apartment for iue as a summer nursery. Tho club will nUo put more boats on tho lake, lay out tennis and croquot court and hire au lustruotor to lead tho oil lid rn in their gamos and teach them tho u of tho oqulpmpnt. This is an onterprlso of great worth, and tho women of tho park, -jp O FINISH high school at the end 2 of a four-year's course with not only a well balanced education In the ordinary branches but with a trade learned so thoroughly as to make the young graduate ready and fit to take it up ns a calling is the new opportunity that Is being of fered In a few of tho progressive cities of America, England and Ger many, to the boys and girls of tho schools. The result Is effected by an entirely new plan of work and study iltoratlon, which carries the manual tra! !ng idea and tho Indus trial school idea farther than they have e'vor boon developed with far less expense nnd with far greater benefit to tho student and to tho community generally than any other method yet devised. Tho criticism that our high schools are only for tho bojs and girls who cannot afford and who do not expect to attend college is not un founded. It is really a serious ar rangement of tho present system of education lu those institutions which aro in many respects tho pride of our land. That they do not give sufficient practical training, suf ficient broad education, to meot the greatest needs of tho nine out of most of tho tens of our chlldron, Is the nllogatlon, which scorns to havo only too much substantiation. It is a well-known fact that of the largo number of boys and girls who en ter our schools, only a very small proportion indeed finish tho high school nt nil. It Is thoroughly recog nized by tenchors ovorywhoro that an Incomplete high school course is at least open to question as to tho value it gives to tho chlldron who must or who doslre to work with tholr hands. Manual training in tho school itsolf is onl) a partial solution of tho problem and Is a souico of great added expense whorovor It has beeu installed In connection with tho school systom. Thoro are those who havo doubted tho valuo of Its results. But wlth- (Continued JPJ&2Xruru- science teacher In tho Marshfield schools Friday afternoon.

Only Immediate relatives and a few close friends will be in attendance. The recent death of Henry AVIckman, a relative of the groom, caused some changes in the plans for the event. $ 4 The Chamlnade Club is planning to give a recital at the home of Mrs. AVm. Horsfall Jr., sometime in Jan uary, the semi-annual concert having Ueen postponed until next summer. The plans for It have not been com pleted but probably will bo at an early meeting.

December is certainly making w effort to give us an imitation of May Keep a careful eyo on Coos Bat from now on. She needs y0Ur at, tentlon.

The Philadelphia Star advises men not to send roses to red-headed glrla Some Coos Bay men aro sorry they ever sent roses to a brunette. Improvement In the Ccos Bay mall service has not yet reached the stage where letters marked "itt hasto" received special attention. An Oklahoma congressman's wife has secured a divorce on the ground of cruelty. Perhaps ho compelled her to listen while ho rehoaised his speeches. A Kansas City man whoso store was burnod refused to accept all the money offered to him by tho insur ance company. The doctors will probably watchvhim more closely for tho next few months. An up.Btatp,, exchange cheerful sheet predicts that eggs will go up to 80T:entB a" dozen' during Christmas week.
