Then Bnld Dave Stafford, we could have as a motto, "The late worm catches the bird." It was decided nt this meeting that the HookworuiR or the World should, as wortnB, havo no politics, or reli gion. Thnt tho object or the order would be to further the happiness of Its membership by boosting for a railway. It was further ordered that the Chief Crawler forthwith call on tho artists all over tho land to submit, In competition, a design for n but ton to bo nlwnys worn to the exclu sion or all other buttons, by tho members or tho society. Designs have nlrcady been submitted, In the Bhnpc or n hook worm on a railway tic; others suggested simply an Imi tation worm In tho lapel without any button. Tho dues decided upon arc twenty four cents In twelve two cent stamps. This nmount to cover tho cost of tho button, postage, and other large and amnll Incidental expenses. All business men who expect to re main on Coos Day until tho rntlway Is built, aro eligible for membership. This means all men, good, bad and Indifferent, rctnll merchants, clerkB, book-keepers, nnd even all persons directly or Indirectly connected with (world of commerce.

It would seem thnt Dorsey Kreltzor had n rather lucky escapo In his auto accident. I Just received an Iowa pa per mentioning an automobile acci dent and which says of the victim: "He escaped with n sprained nnkle, which Is remnrkablc, as the machine struck him between the lamp and the radiator." Now what do you suppose would have happened to Dorsey If ho had been struck there. THE LIKE WE LIVE. It's waking nnd sleeping, and heaving a sigh, nnd watch- Ing nnd weeping, nnd saying 4 goodby.

It's laughing nnd cry- 4 4 ing, It's dnrkness nnd light, and 4 -wishing tho dying a loving good 4 4 night.

On tho whole, tho UBcrs of tho li brary have trented tho books well, but thero have been a few notnbla exceptions, nnd the worst cnscB ot such vandalism have come from sup posedly refined persons. For In stance, one womnn marked sentences, with nn indelible pencil, all through, one chnptcr of a valuable book. An other person took tho troublo to write tho words "grammatical er ror" also with an indellblo poncll In sevcrnl places In n book, apparent ty railing to perceive tho far wo mo.

It Ib possible that somo of thoaa persons did not realize that, with public property, no ono has a right to take for himself a prlvllego that cannot bu given to nil.
