SgRgPi 'iv m HmBi Bi&;TA&yffi!'&?WjlHiflBKT?IT"Ssi . 's&ffif) mmF.r&urjwp .hi l a MER1CAXS are disposed to A think that tins is me iium whine progress Is to bo found, where cities nre being built nt fab ulous eoHt. The old world Is look ed on as something nlrendy com pleted. When one thinks of Euro pean cities the thought Is oT ancient nnd historic places nnd of streets that lmvo been used for n hund red years. Yet the dazzling sum of $ ISO. 000. 000 Is to be spent by Paris in the Interest of civic Improvement, says n storv In the Louisville Courier Journal. Paris, already famous for Its magnificent boulevards and Its woll-planncd nnd well-kept parks. Is to begin n scheme of Improvement that would have staggered Hnron Ilaussinnn. Uy n vote of 07 to 8 the municipal council baa decided to ncnulrn for the government the old fortifica tions nnd the ndjacent military zone. Tho fortifications nro to bo razed, now parks and boulevards nnd nn ornamental circle around the city are to be made and n portion of the land Is to be sold undor restric tions for building purposes. This Is part of a beautlflcatlon Hcheme for the execution of which the city 1-ns borrowed $1S().000.000. it Is worthv of note tbnt the improve ments' include provision for housing the poor more comfortnbly, If less picturesquely from the point or vluw of the tourist who likes to poke n bout the by-ways of Paris. There Is also Included n wntcr wall to prevent the Seine from overflowing the section of the city thnt was dam aged by the flood a few years ago Cltv building was never so com petitive ns It Is In the twentieth century, when means of transpor tation and communication nre so Improved tbnt every one either sees or lotus about what his neighbor on the other side of the ocean or the other sldo of the world Is doing. ROX'T RH A HERMIT. NO ONE envies n hermit. No one will claim that that is tlio way to live. Voluntarily to with draw one's self from society Is In sanity. Human happiness requires hum mi companionship, It Is hnrd to bo happy alone. If a men sacrifices happiness by withdrawing from his follows he gains It tlio more he mingles with tlienu They nro nocossary to him lie to them. Tlio linpplest family In a commun ity Is the family that participates In the nffalrs of the community. The linpplest family Is tlio one thnt has its neighbors nnd friends, nnd whoso mombers nro Interested In the wel fare of tlio town In which they llvo. Unhappy Indeed Is the family each mombor of which In seeking his own lmpplnesa nlone, begrudging tlio tlmo or nionoy thnt custom, If nothing else, compels him to bestow on those about Him. Unhappy tlio town whoso families nre endeavoring to And happiness within their own .four walls, a fam ily that In not concerned whothor tho town grows or dwindles, a fnmlly thnt would nn soon buy abroad as nt homo, n fnmlly to whom n town Is but n plnco to eat nnd oleop. Don't bn n hermit, cither ns nn individual or as n family. Tnko an Interest In thosu about you nnd In this town Live with us, not among 118. ORl'XIC AT THE GATES Ol HEAVEN. THE Rev. John Willis Hner stated the other day before the Pres byterian gathering nt Atlanta Mint he would "rnthor go staggering drunk to tho gntes of heaven, nn un converted mnn, thnn to go ns n Presbyterian elder who hns rented Ills property for brothels or snloons. The peoplo of this country nre not yet ready to put these two sorts of establishments under the same ban: but they are pretty w'ell of one mind that tho mnn who rents property for cither purpose must be reckoned with In dealing with their evils. Why should the man who prollts from the rents in the rcdllght dis trict bo held guiltless, while the hab itues thereof nre dubbed disorderly and delinquent. Is ho not their part ner In vice? Where disorderly houses are permitted, why should not the list of landlords bo made nubile as con sorts of the landladies? Tho ownership of lnnd Is coming to be recognized ns carrying with It certain public duties. Physical lllth Is tabooed. Why Is moral filth ex cusable? ' Oregon now pennllzes the mnn who knowingly rents his property for Im moral puiposcw. If every Inw had as much sound sense and Justice be hind It the stnto supreme court could takes a vacation. A heavy sermon ninkcth a light collection, plate. In Dear Old Coos County There Is a spot in old Oregon, that I always call my home, Even though In sunnier lauds more often 1 mny roam.
