MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1913. LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER PAGE SEVK3 66 IS THE ONLY PRODUCT UNION COUNTY DQESNT RASE A Healthful, Steady Growth ha always been La Grande's keynote of success. During the past few years we have paved miles of streets, established a paid fire department, installed water and sewer systems of real credit, built fine schools, promoted various enterprises and developed r.iany institutions, and, of course, have greatly in creased our population, ruial and urban. ' There's a Whole Lot Doing at Present as well as a good record for the past. A Y. M. C. A. building is being planned, a city library, several new churches, new school, new railroads, new mills, new businesses, new people, all are headed toward La Grande. Consider what this means to real estate values. We believe that, either as an investment, a business, or a home, La Grande property is the best proposi tion on record. Business activity as well as cultural development will more than ever characterize the growth of the city of pay-rolls in the valley of di versified interests. -urtixaMi U.iiai A LOT TO BUILD ON 1704 Adarns Ave, 101 xl20, will make two good lots.

His Shaky Memory. The lawyers gut a tartar when, in a recent trial in a southern city, they summoned to the stand an aged darky who hod been an eyewitness of a fight that bad occurred between a number of persons. "Tell us what you know about this fight,'' said counsel when old Mose bad been placed upon the stand. "Fight?" asked Mose. apparently greatly surprised. "What fight?" "You know very well what fight Is meant," said counsel. "Tell us abou It" "I don't know nothln about no fight," Insisted the witness. "When was it?" "See here, Moses." exclaimed the lawyer: "no trifling the fight day be fore yesterday. You know all about it Tell us"- "Oli, de fight day befo' ylsterday," snld Mose. "Well, si:h, you see, I's slept since de day befo' ylsterday, and I never kin rlckollect anything after I's been asleep." And that was all they could get from hiui. Green Bag. Blind Dogs and Rats, Cnnlnes boru hliud or Towsers thnt become blind by accident are able to smell and w their way Into the most inaccessible nnd out of the way places. It Is prncticully impossible to starve them, lose them or trap them. Further more, blind dots lenrn stunts Just as quickly as those that see. Loss of sight iu no way Interferes with their ability to learn tricks, acquire habits or find their bed. Rats, as a matter of fact, if they use tbelr eyes at all a doubtful matter can see little or nothing of the world. The retina of these creatures has no point of perfect vision such as Is found In the higher aniumls and man: hence their noses. muscles, touch and bearing give them information about the world they live In. -New Vork Press. Gavt Himself Away. A little girl was weeping bitterly In the street, and a benevolent old gen tleinnn. putting her on the shoulder. Inquired what was the matter. "I've lost n penny, sir." the child sobbed The old gentleman promptly banded her a iKMiny. She looked nt him a skin ii-e for a few seconds and then snld In a tone more of sorrow than of anger: "Oh. you wicked old man! So 'on hud it all the time!" - Londou Taller CAFES IN BRAZIL With a Glimpse of Rio de Janeiro's k Twenty foot Wide Broadway. Downtown in the commercial part of Bio de Janeiro 1 the noisy, vivacious Rua do Ouvldor, of all things Rio de' Janelran the one that possesses the most Individuality, the place where everybody who is anybody is to be seeu. It is only about twenty feet wtda JuKt think of It the Broadway of a great city like Itloi so narrow and crowded that vehicles are not allowed to go through at certain hours of the day, but most of the somber Portu guese style buildings have been re placed by modern ones, and what it lucks lu width is compensated for by the atfractlveness of the stores and cafes. These cafes, principally devoted to the service of the demltnase, are every where lu Brazil, but here particularly they are the rendezvous for the official, military, professional and more pros perous commercial classes, who drop in at alt hours to talk things over to the music of the orchestra everything front business, rcl'glon and politics to the idlest society gossip, only they sip coffee, for the most part. Instead of highballs and beer.- And such coffeel A North American never realizes what a perfectly delecta ble flavor coffee really is capable of, bow dellclously rich and slrupy it Is when brewed by those who know bow, until he has drunk it in the orient or down here in Brazil. From "Through South America," by Harry W. Van Dyke. BEYOND THE TOMB. Victor Hugo's Views on the Immor tality of the Soul. Victor Hugo's opiulon on the question of life beyond the grave was a remark able one. The great Frenchman was firmly convinced that he would meet all bis friends in a future world. He was equally sure that be bad always existed from the antediluvian times, when the Creator placed blm on earth. He believed that be would exist for ever, inasmuch as he felt in bis soul thousands of hymns, dramas, and po ems that had never found expression. When the atheists would say to blm. "The proof that you will not exist in the future is that you did not exist In the past," Hugo would answer: "Who told you I did not exist in the past centuries? Yon will say that is the legend of the ages. The poet bns written, 'Life is n fairy tale twice writ ten.' He might have said a thousand times written. You do not believe In the doctrine of surviving personalities for the reason that you do not recollect your anterior existence. , But how can the recollection of vanished ages re main Imprinted on your memory when you do not remember a thousand and one scenes and eveuts of your present life? Since 1802 there hnve been ten Victor Hugos in me. Do you think that I can recall all their actions and all their thoughts? "The tomb Is.dnrk. and when I shall have passed the tomb to emerge into light once more all these Victor Hugos will be almost wholly strangers to me. but it will always be the same soul." I l no ivionionegrina. It is only in recent years that Monte negrins hnve begun to appreciate the services of the hospital. Uuliue Pen man, after visiting the country in 1889, wrote that the people "take very little care of their children, and only the sound and strong grow up. In after life, too, they are extremely averse to sanitary precautions or medical treat ment, and a sick Montenegrin Is almost synonymous with a dead man. At least he at once gives himself up and, if he recovers, looks upon it as a curious freak in nature's laws. The few who reluctantly submit to losing an arm or a leg Invariably refuse anaesthetics and converse with their frieuds, smok ing a cigarette while the knife and saw are at work." Appreciation.. A city man who had made good finan cially and socially was showing hi country friend over bis newly built bouse. It was furnished most luxuri ously, and as one room after another was visited the farmer's silence In creased. The city man, thinking his old country friend was too full for ut terance, asked blm when the last room, with Its heavy furnishings, was In spected. "Well, Joslab, what do you think of it all?" "I've been thinkln', Henry." replied the farmer, "what an all Bred Job you'd have if you bad ter move." Judge. One of Erskine's Puns. Lord Ersklne rather prettily com bined pun with compliment In an epi gram he forwarded to Lady Payne in answer to her vicarious inquiries as to bis benltb: "Tie true I am ill, but 1 nred not complain.

P. L. F. BELLINGER. Sec. Euphemisms For Death. 'Decease" Is now a regular form of word for death. But It began as a gentle euphemism, "decessus" (depar ture) seeming much less harsh to the Romans than "mors." All languages abound in euphemisms of the kind, which go bnck to a superstitious re luctance to mention death plainly that gradually passed into a kindly desire to soften the Idea. ' "Passed away." departed." "gone," "expire" ibreuthe out), "no more.'' "demise" and even the late" are expressions of this na ture. Most striking of all Is the Ro man euphemism for "he Is dead," vix it" (be hus lived), A Sop to Her Conscience.
