OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1904 HOME CIRCLE COLUMN, J. Column Dedicated to Tired Mothers as They Join the Home Circle at Eventide. Let us strive to cultivate a spirit of hopefulness in the home, in the nflidfi. on the street. We can do no greater service to humanity thau to live and work always with a great hope, which, in the very nature ot tmnge win grow more and more into a great certainty. We gee some families where each has a nart tonerform. where the daughters relieve the mother of many household duties, and the division ol work makes it easier; while in others the mother is a Blave and the daughters act as if thev were boarders. Why this difference? Who is to' blame? Children who are tauuht to work and bear their share of the burdenii, love and respect their par ents far more than others, for it is a fact that people have very little reBpect for a slave, though he or sue via a pareni. My son, bllow not in the footsteps of the loafer, and make no example ot him who is bornjtired, for verily I say unto vou, their business is overstocked ; the Boats on the corners are all taken and whittling places are all occupied. It is better to saw wood et two bits a cord than to whittle in a loafing match and cuss the government. My son, while thou hast left in thy skull the sense of jay bird, break away from the cigarette habit, for lo, thy breath stinketh like a glue factory and thy whole appearance is less intelligent thau a store dummy vea.thou art a clipper with the rim knocked off. Young man, there is one thing you cannot do. Yon ua;i not make a success in life unless you work. Older men than you have tried it and failed. You cannot loaf around the street corner, smoke, tell stories, and sponge on some one else, without making a failure in in life. You must learn a trade or get into some honest business. If you don't, you will become a chronic loafer and there is no place in the world for loafers The ripe fruit is at the top of the tree, and you must climb if you get it, or some smart man will pluck it from you. Do something no matter how small or how low the wages, it will be a start er Help yourself, and othe-s will help you. There is no royal road to success ; will, grit, and endurance are the quali" ties which lead tq it. CLACKAflAS COUNTY COURT. Business Whv can't we come over to your housa and play anymore?

C. hod ,,n tmd snells since I commenced, taking your medicine-in fact, have not felt like tne same man.

Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cleat and regulate the bowels. Transacted May Term, i at Regular Somewhere in the great viueyard there is a niche for everyone to fill, if not a garden or field a space is alloted for all to work in. "This is the way. walk y e in it," is not always a pleasant command, but duty will lead us, It may be into diurnal hovels of want and sufferings, even to the drunkard's mis erable home, where tha heartbroken wife and mother toils to supply the waste made by the debauched spend thrift to gratify an unnatural appetite. God pity a drunkard's wife and child Ten 1 It seems that nothing can destroy this. What can be done to throw a bar in its pathway? What shall we do to stay the tide of intemperance sweeping over the land and save our noble boys from bfiing swept awayin its maelstrom of ruin? Francis E. Willurd tells us to Write it on the work house gate, Write it on the school bov's slate, Write it on the copy book, That the young may often look, 'Where there's drink there's danger.' But, alas! we often wait till life's gweet opportunities are past, and at the eleventh hour break our alabaster box of olutment, Tlin easiest thine in the world is to find fault in others, but how dillicult to see our own. Let us be charitable along this line, aud do as a groat artist did, who painted a picture of his King, upon wIiohb brow was a scar, paintiug it with his hand covering the scar. Let our mantle ot charity beeuUicleut for others, as well as ourselves. A gontle word or tone, even a friendly glance may touch or soften some sad heart. Sympathy ia a great medicine. It olton heals a broken heart. It has gained an entrance where gold has failed. We can do much to gladden earth and peoule heaven. To be sure there are woes none can reach, and evils we cannot cure; yet perhaps we can break the blow where we cannot avert it, or mitigate the aorrowe we can not move. This world would be most desolate if there were no such thing as fellow feeling, for, as Shakespeare says, "A follow feeling makes us wondrous kind." Hefore marriage, a young man would Joel some delicacy about accepting an invitation to spend an evening in com pany where his "iayde love" had not been invited. After marriage is he al ways as particular? During the days of courtship, his gallantry would de mand that he should make himself agreeable to her; after marriage it often huppeuH that he thinks more of being agreeable to himself, llow often it hap pens, that a married man, after haviug been away from home the livelong day, during which the wife has toiled at her duties, going at evening again to tome place of amusement, and leaves her to toil on alone, uncheered aud unhappy I llow often it happens that her kindest offices pass unobserved, aud unrewarded even bv a smile, and her best eflortu are condemned by the fault rinding husband, llow often it happens, even when the evening is spent at home, that it is em- nloved in silent reading, or some other wav that does not recognize the wife's right to share in the enjoyments even of the fireside ! Look, ye husbands, (or a moment, and remember what your wife was when you took her, not from compulsion, but from your own choice; a choice based, prob ably, on what you then considered her superiority toothers. Srle was young perhaps' the idol of her happy home; she was gay and blithe a the lark, and the brothers and sinters at her father's fireside cherished her as an object of endearment. Yet she left all to join her destiny with yours, to make your home hanov. and to do all that womau's Ingenuity could devise to meet your wishes and to lighten the burdens which might press up'-n you. TRUB JIANLISKBS. livery bov longs to be a man. It may not be amiss to study the character of a true gentleman . N hat is a true gentle man? Manliness means virtue, virtue means purity, and purity means power. Never imagine that the swaggering braggart is a powerful man; or that such characters as Conbett, i'iUsiinmonB, Sullivan or their tribe are ideal Ameri can citizens. The braggart and bully is always a weak character. The true gentleman is strong. The man who endures and overcomes and lives to bless other lives is the true gentleman. The true gentle man is not made out of clothes. Fine feathers do not make fine birds. So no art of the tailor can make a man oat of a tough by dressing him in t fine suit. Borne of the men with rough exteriors possess the truest and tenderest spirits while some dressed in the height of fashion are demons incarnate. We like the man with sunny smile and a loving heart, an honest voice, and a hr.na gri; of the hand, a clear eye, keen witted j with boundless energy and never fail ing smile, a man sincere, sublimely un selfish, inspired by a true warmth of heart. Give us such a man obedient to the claims of others, rather than the prim and pompons man whose heart has the frigidity of an iceberg. We believe what we need today in the home and in the church and in business is not an austere and unbending Puritanism, but a large hearted, cheerful spirited broth erlinesB, inspired not by dollars and acres, but by obedience to our highest and best natures. The man who en cases his life in business claims, or wraps hi a being in a mantle woven out of selliah acts can never save the world. W hat we want is sympathy. There are many young men who have fallen in the tragedy of life; they are bleeding from Borne wonud ; what they need is a broth er's hearty hand shake, a loving voice saying, "God bless you, my boy, all is not lost; your life ia not gone; there are yet unwasted days in which you can win back a good name and an honorable place in society. Be a man; I'll stand by you; you can count on me." A Voiuiuuiiicotion, Ed, Courier : The political campaign for the June election is now on and it is amusing, yet diHtreBsiug, to view the tactica of the opposition to win the lace. Imperialism ia being denied, the present taritT is praiBed as a godsend, and the trusts are lightly spoken of us though there were fur on the speakers' tongues. President Roosevelt makes laws, dodges treaties, aud is praised because he does. Such action as this leads to monarchy. Will the free born American citizen yield to government by the classes or will they maintain their individuality and vote for tne maintenance of the Constitution? It is not a questloa of party, it iB a question of country always before party. A few day ago I posted a circular en title I, "Hermann's Record" and the next morniug found that same bad been torn down. Who did it? Some friend who wants to keep the people in ignor ance of Hermann's crookeduevM. The par'ythat depends on corruption for success will come to grief bye and bye. l it not time that we return to ttie moral aud political purity of our forefathers?

The man or woman who is subject to headache at irregular intervals, goes through life bearing a load of misery and wretchedness that is terrible to think of. Headaches as a rule, result from a dis ordered condition of the nervous system. Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily and disordered dicestion are exciting causes. When the brain becomes tired and debilitated, the whole nervous system is weak ened, and headaches result. If the liver is sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion Hpr.nntieH. headaches invariablv follow. To cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys. tern must be strengthened and vitalized, The most persistent cases of headache, nervous feebleness, and sleeplessness, are pcuumicmij cured by Faine's Celery Compound ; it is the great reconstnictant of the nervous system. Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich., tells of her release from suffering as follows: " I have been troubled with dyspepsia and sick headache for a number of years. About every week I would have a bad spell of sick headache,- but since I began using Paine's Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, and I do not have any more headaches. I feel better than i have for years." We Want Your Trade At Harris Grocery ' And are"going to make special inducements to close buyers Cash and Small Profits is Cur Motto.

The game of baseball played at Cane mah l'ark laat Similar between the Ore von City team ami a team from the Kinhtli Battery, Regular', of Vancouver resulted in victory for tlie Vancouver boys by a score ol 4 to 1. The game was very interesting throughout aud with the exception of the tiltli inning, when Vancouver assisted by costly er rors by the Oregon City team, succeeded in making three runs. L p to this in ning the score was 1 to 1. The home team baa a fair infield aud tbe battery work was specially good. Long, pitciier, struck out twelve Van. couver men, . One weaiiuexs ot the Ore gon City team, and one which can be overcome by a little more experience and practice, is their poor base running. Another feature which was noticeable and which cau be corrected by coaching, is the poor form shown by the Oregou City balsrteti. To be a successful bats man, the batter should sta id erect by the plate with the bat resting motionless on the shoulder. There few faults are pointed out for tbe purpose of sung stion merely and with the hopes that the boys will profit thereby and be more succesk (ul lu their future games this summer. 05 25 25 06 03 Oregon City Planing Mills All kinds of Building Material, Sash, Doors and Moulding.
