CHEHAWA, OREGON, FRIDAY AUGUST 30, 1901.
Our Ideals Are The Seeds Of Des
tiny. Robert Mackay.
Each clock-tick tells the world a man is
' born
To take his place in Time's infinitude;
To start, aglow, his race, in Life's bright M
mom ;
To close his eyes in Death's cold solitude
0. teach him right, that, when his sands i:
have run,
He may look back upon the paths he trod.
To know they were illumed by Honor's
sun,
And consecrated to the will of God.
Riches and honor are what men desire,
Let them be gained by methods well em
ployed! Rilher a humble cot, a plain, log fire,
Than wealth unfairly won and ne'er en
joyed! '
Meet every man as if he were a brother,
Since time's first breath, two tilings have
stood l'ke stone;
Compassion for the troullesof an other,
And couragein the battles with our own.
Seek not vast lore, but know a little well,
Not many lives, but only one have we;
Let truth and Wisdom fill its too brief
spell
And paint the vision of eteruitj ! .
An empty pun is bad, an empty mind
Is worse, but never own an empty
heart ;
In Perseverance court the favoring wind 1
That brings contentment in Toil's busy j
mart. j
Eternity ne'er won a moment lost;
He serves the best who true to all will be; j
Seek but the truth, whatever be the cost ; i
The hope of man is opportunity. I
Climb not too fast Life's ladder, first of al I j
Push deep your roots, then you can well
sustain
The rays of sunlight that upon you full,
The hours of toil, the pans; of passing
pain. ; .
II Birth never yet foretokened destiny,
No wind-swept vessel twice the same
wake led;
And. in the dome of Time, we plainly see
The debts of life are owing to the dead.

What 31akes a Boy Popular?
All boys wish to be popular and wield as.
large an influence over their fellows as
possible.
. What makes a boy populat? Manliness,
The boy who respects his mo' her lias lea
dership in him. Th? boy who is careful of
his sister is a knight. The boy who wi'l
never violate his word and who will
pledge his honor to his own hurt and
change not, will have the confidence of
his ft Hows. The boy who defends the
weak will one day become a hero among
the K'ronj; and the boy who will never .
fl hut t l be feelings f anyone will one day
find himself loved by other.
