be also wishes that the plana for the

That's a good eye to business, to be

already exalted reputation of that

Y. M. C A. Secretary
Ml. J. H. Rudd has been called to
tbe city of Portland for a few days,
and when be returns he will take
up at once the task of organizing tbe
men and boys of La Grande and com.

for the needs of the Infant Young
Men's association.
Ueluted Honors
There is no such person as a funny
man that Is, just an Individual, seg
regated oddity; all men are funny.
Watch one of them as he tries to
fasten a newly starched collar onto
a button that has the big head. See
that look on his face; he appears to
be suffering ten thousand agonies.
That's funny; what makes him do It?
lie has lost a button from the hack
of his garments und the olllcial men
der of the family wrappings Is not In
sight, and that particular piece of
fastening must be replaced, lie looks
for a needle and gets a slim daruer
(it Is the only one he tan thread) aud
then proceeds to do the job; although
ou the hack of him somewhere, he
stands before the mirror and jabs
away In tbe invisible aud bits the
same eye of the button over aud over
and then tanglea the thread, sewing
around aud around till he Is dizzy,
for every once in a while he tries
vainly to see where he Is putting the
thing, and in sheer despair he does
what he should have done In the first
place; he takes the garment off and
tacks the button to the cloth but with
the wish he was boru it the Philip
pines whore the natives' dress in an
unbuttouable shroud when they do
dress and vowing that some particu
lar forms of the conventional are
verv inconvenient.
Wilbur Wright j
As yet the proper place of Wilbur
Wright Is unknown. He was not the
discoverer of the science of aeronau-1
His, but ho was the inventor of the
(lying art. He belongs to the grow
ing list of human (actors who do
tilings. His actual unexpressed mot
to was "Do noble deeds, not dream
them all day long." Benjamin Frank
lin was a silly dreamer as was everj
other one who brought a child of his
brain Into the unbelieving nud jealous
world of cold-water pourers. So was
Fulton; so was Stephenson; so was
Prof. 3. V. B. Morse; so was Edison
and was dubbed "Old man Edison's
fool." He and others can afford such
epithets, for their day Is coming. It
looks now as if aviation Is a fixture
in the world-thought and has there,
fore, come to stay. If so, the name
of the Wright family will grow as the
ages pass and will stand unashamed
beside those of the men named above.
Ilesnutat In pace, Wilbur Wright! A
regate over $700,-
grateful nation and world will care
for your name and your fame Is as
suied!

event have things well shaped up. The
