A good reputation costs nothing, but is

'There is no one thing so trifling but
which (if it is worth doing at all) ought to
be done well."
Look out ior the man, who, when he
walks, everlastingly holds his head down.
Ten to one he is a sneak, of the meanest
kind.
Keep your windows closad tight so no
air can get into your rooms wh"n you sleep
and you will s on be ready for the under
taker. Just think of the two or three weeks of
lovely HUnshiue and beautiful weather we
have been enjoying here in Oregon during
this month. Whua you sav, "Oh it rains
all the time in Oregon " Don't lie about
it. We have lots of nice weather in Ore
gon in winter as well as summer. Oregon
is all right.
When you sine do not be afraid to open
your mouth good and wide Then speak
your words dis'inetly so youmudienrp wi'l
know whether you are singing Dalian cr
English. .
. If peop would learn to ppak the En.
glish language with as much expression as
they do profane 'aneuage, there would he
ereat man v more smarter and fluent peo
ple in the world.
The Edi'or of the January "Chilooco
Farmer and Stock Grower" has descended
to Billingsgate and veniality that is unbe
coming any paper in the Indian Service,
and shows a mind that lacks dignity. The
paper is full of coarseness and, to say the
least, expressions which Indian pupils
should not read.
Throw those shoulders back, fill your
lungs full of pure air, and stand erect, if
you want to be healthy and look well,
young and vigorous. , When you walk,
walk as if you were going somewhere.
Don't mope along, dragging your feet as if
you were too tired or lazy to move. It
looks bad and will cause others to have a
very unfavorable impression of you and
your ability.
