j Lincoln's Birthday
Lincoln's birthday was appro
priately observed by the local
G. A. R. in the high shool audi
torium last Friday, when an in
teresting program was rendered.
"Do you remember when Lin
coln died?
Men and women and children
cried.
A loving father he seemed to
all
The rich, the poor, the great,
the small.
Homely, they said; he might
have been,
His life was as free as a child's
from sin.
An honest man, where'er he
be,
Is always beautiful to see.
His arms were long, made to
embrace
Alike the white and colored
race.
His hands, were large, they
had to'be
To break the chains of slavery.
So were his feet, he had to
stand
When nation's rocked as if on
sand:
All the schemes had gone to
naught
When Lincoln's work was nobly
wrought.
He spoke the words which made
men free,
Then came the victory he ne'er
should see.
1 One greater man has lived and
died,
He was the Christ we crucified."

ger nnd G. V. Bellinger.
This year Lent began on Feb
ruary 17, Ash Wednesday, which
marks tho beginning of n period
of abstinence and -self sacrifice
for church members. In tho
Catholic churches especially the
Lenten period will no strictly
observed, nnd there will be a
general lull in social gayctics
until after Easter.
Mrs. L. N. Bellinger died at
the homo of her mother in Sell-
wood Fridny of last week of
heart failure. She wns born
near Salem, Oregon, January 22.
1859, and for eight years resided
with her family in St. Johns.
Last Fall sho went to Corvallis
to keop houso for hortwo sons,
who aro attending',collego there.
Sho returned during tho holi
days, and not fooling very well,
sho was prevailed upon toremnin
with her mother ever since.
Mrs. Bollinger wns n true Christ
ian lndy. and was well liked by
all who knew her. Sho is surviv
ed by her husband, nnd two
sons, W. M. nnd G. V.Bollinger,
besides mother, two brothers
and two sisters. . Tho funeral
took placo Tuesday; interment
at Oregon City.
Tho girl who is unkind to her
mother isn't worth a tinker's
doggone. This isn't written in
any part of tho Bible, but it's
written in tho history of thou
sands and thousands of misfit
homes. If ono of you boys over
run across a girl with her faco
full of roses, with eyes that would
dim tho lustre of a Southern aky
and with a voice that would
make the song of an angel seem
discordant, and she says as flho
comes to the door: "l can t go
for a fow minutes; I'vo got to
he n mother with tho dishes,"
don't give her up. Stick to her
like u burr to a mule's tail,
Just sit down on tho door step
nnd wait. If sho joins you in
two or three minuto.so much tho
better: but if you have to stay
there on the door step for a half
hour or an hour, you just wait
for her. If you don't somebody
else will and in time you'll real
ize what you have lost. Wait
for her, boy. She's worth it-
Ex.
One of tho good things that
has been suggested this session
of the Lecis nturo is a proposal
to compel insurance companies
to pay in full all losses up to tho
full amount insured, mat is an
solutely right There is no rea
son why any insurance agent
should collect a premium on an
amount that his company does
not mean to pay. If jour agent
insures your $1500 house for
$2500. at his own suggestion,
ana lanes your premium jyr it
' 1 It j r Si
there is no reason why his com
pany should not stand for the
full amount. You stood your
risk when you paid a exorbitant
premium. The company does no
more when it is cauea upon 10
pay an exorbitant loss. The out
come of a law that wjll regulate
the matter in that way will be
that smaller premiums will be
111 j
paid, thereby saving the insured
public a large sum of useless
expenditure. It will also save
the company expense in secur
ing an adjustment of losses, as
well as the insured, and the
whole business can be finished
ud as soon as tho company satis
fied itself that there is a genu
ine liability. A simple check
will do the business. Beaver
