8 OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1904 HOME CIRCLE COLUMN. A Column Dedicated to Tired Mothers as They Join the Home Circle at Eventide. We like to think and reflect upon our youthful (life. How Bwiftly as the sum mer' tun or wiuter'8 blast, like a beau titul panorama or dream, the days depart ed to oe known no more to ua 1 Yes, how swiftly they seem now, as we think of the dear departed days of childhood, and wljh what, anviatv w Innkad forward to the time wben we could b ecome useful and not simply ornamental ,for where is . the child that does not sometimes grow tired of being petted and fondled as a mere plaything, and in the utmost re' cesses of its heart long to become "grown up" bo tbev may be privileged to eser cise greater will power? The other morning in our rambles we met a little raged urchin, whom we thought to be lo6t. "Wbere is your home?" we inquired of the little black eyed boy? Pointing to an old beggar woman across tbe street, he Baid : "That 13 my mother, and where mother ie, tnat is my home." How true was the an swer. Where mother is, is home. Home is the magic circle within which the wery spirit finds refuge. It is the sa cred asylum to which the careworn retreats to find rest from the toils and cares of life. Home and mother arq words that touch every fiber of our souls. As dear as home can be is tbe mother who presides over it. Long years may have flown since we saw that heme, and since the dearest of all earthly friends has slept the long and silent sleep of death; but that home and that mother will never cease to awaken the sweeteBt recollections of our lives. By the fireside still the light is shining, The children's arms around the parents entwining: From love bo sweet, 0 who would roam ? Be it eyer so humble, home is home. TUB SUNSHINE OF TUB HEART, home is complete without cheer , fulness, order, good humor and laugh ter. For every good hearty laugh we ' indulge in there is a day taken off our age. Why take life so seriously. Can we not labor as well or better, accomplish as much, and enjoy life more as we go along, if we keep on the watch for every possible opportunity tor a good mood stirring, pulse-tingling laugh? Let wives and mothers put away all the wrinkle-producing, skin-witnering' feelinss of envr. suite and hatred : let's make up our minus to enjoy life as long as we live, and to live as long aa we can. A good laugh is the sunshine of the heart, and cheerfulness and mirth bring forth the bloBBoms, and their fragrance sweetens our Uvea and the lives of those around us. As "laughter is tbe beat of medicines," let's partake of it freely and look on the bright side of everything, If our aeat is too hard for us to sit upon, lei's stand up ; if rocks riae before us let's climb over them. Be the Martha that is needed in ever home. A good side-splitting laugh will soon venetrate throuuh tbe coldness ol Boci ety and bring men and women nearer together, and make heavy hearts lorget their burdens and be glad. It might be possible for ua to direct our ways by plain reason and support our life by tasteless food, but God has given us wit and flavor and laughter to enliven our days, and to "charm our painful s'eps over the burning marl." A well regu lated sensible Martha is certainly a great comfort in a home. She is "care ful and troubled." perhaps, but she doesn't make a fuss about it. She does not worry. If she scolds, you never hear her , she is mistress of herself, and nothing distracta her : she believes there are tew women who cannot he trained to govern a home if they will be in earn est, be cheerful and set their minds to it. How many mothers plan their work so as to give some time to the amusement of their children? How many believe that a eood, wholesome article of fun is essential to the comfort and health of boys and girls? There is nothing wrong in wholesome fun, and it is really neces sary in the traing of children. CAKILEKS DAUU11TK11, We want to talk plainly to the care leas daughter of the home, and few are the homes without fuch a daughter. We want to apeak to you of your mother. It may be that you have noticed a care worn look upon her face lately. Of course it has not been brought there by any action of yours, still it is your duty to chase it away. We want you to get up tomonow morning and get break- faat, and when your mother cornea and begins to express her surprise go right up to her aud klsa her You can't im agine how it will brighten her dear face, lieeideiyou owe her a kisa or two. Away back when you were a little girl abe kissed you when do one else was tempted by your fever tainted breath and swollen face. You were not as at tractive then as you are now. And through those years of childlih sun shine and ahadow ahe wai always ready to care by magio ol a mothers kla your little, dirty, chabby hand! whenever they were injured in those first akirmiihes with the rough world. And than the midnight kiis with which the routed so many bad dreamt a ahe leaned over your reatlesa pillow, have been oa interest tbeta long, long years. Of course the n not to pretty and kiasabla aayoaare, but if you had dona your hare of the work during the past tea years the con trast would not hava ben so marked. Her face hat mora wrinkle than yoort, far mora, and yet if yoo were tick that face would appear mora beau tiful than an angel't at it hovered over yoo, watching avery opportunity to minister to your comfort, and everyone of those wrinkles would seem to be bright wavelets of sunshine chasing each other over her dear face. She will ' leave you some of these dayt. These burdens, if not lifted from her shoulder, will break her down. Those rough, hard hand that have done so many necessary things for you will be crossed over her lifeless breast. Those neglected lips that gave you your flrstjbabyikisa will be forever closed, and those sad, tired eyes will have opened into eternity, and then you will appreciate your mother; too late. Sick headache result from a dis ordered stomach aud is quickly cured by Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tab lets. For sale by Geo. A. Harding. The Hon. Amos P. Atkins, who is one of the most prominent men in New Albany, Ind., and Treasurer of Floyd County, has this advice to give to those who are shut up within the narrow con fines of office or shop : "Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery seems to take the place of hard training in developing strength, vigor and endurance of the system and expelling all impurities, with which the blood sometimes gets clogged. I have found by personal experi ence that it enables me to do more hard work, and at the same time endure mora physical strain and partake with greater vim in outdoor sports than anything I know cf. It can always be relied upon to increase the appetite, induce healthful sleep, and tone and refresh a worn-out system. "A number of my friends who have used it speak in the same high terms, and we bave reason to consider it an office man's friend." Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a blood - purifier and health - giving tonic that contains no alcohol, opium or other narcotic. It i9 a purely vegetable compound, made from roots and herbs in an up-to-date pharmaceutical labora tory, and has been used and recom mended by thousands of people during the past' thirty-seven years. $3,000 FORFEIT will be paid by the World's Dispensary Medical Asso ciation, Proprietors, Buffalo, N. Y., il they cannot show the original signature of the individual volunteering the above testimonial, and also of the writers ot every testimonial among the thousands which they are constantly publishing; thus proving their genuineness. Washington Letter. George Washington wa a shrewd and cunning business man. When he .''ad corralled the farmers who prodded the sluggish acres at the confluence of the Potomac and its eastern brrnch, and startled them with wonderful visions of the future capital, he got them to give to tbe government one-half of their farms after he bad taken out all the land needed for streets and parks. This left yaBt discretionary power with George, and the Father of bis Country did not hesitate to use it. First, he took one half of all the land for streets ; then he took a quarter of the reaidue for parks. He did not mean to have his children cheated. Tbe result was a city of streets and avenue loo to SW leet wide. The residents were burdened with their landed wealth. The streets were so wide that they could never be paved. People could hardly shout across them and got lost in them on dark nights. In this dilemma four or five hundred miles of streets were surveyed with a narrow zone in the middle of them for a road wiy. Another strip on each side was relinquished to the use of the citiiens and they were permitted to fence it in for a front yard and even to encroach upon it to the width of a bay window Between the 'parking strip and the road way the sidewalk waB platted and trees planted. In some parts of the business aection the brick sidewalks are now 60 feet wide. Tbe result of this device, which would be called ingenious if It were caused by intention instead of evolution, is that almost every home in the city is decora' ted wiih a hay window. There are probably five times as many bay win' dows in this city, proportionate to the number ol hourea, as there are in any other city in the world. The visitors who are accuetomed to exclaim, "what a lot ol bay windows!" may now under Btand their genesis. The childless man who has been called the "Father of his Country and nothing else" will be seen also to have been the progenitor and sire of bay windows. . And of a vast bower too, for there are 100,000 trees in tbe city and they weave their verdant Dranche together in Iront of ever House, making a very be uulul city. Professor W. O. Atwater. who diacov' eredthat alcohol is food is in luck (funds) again and will soon put a new lot of BtuuentB into his respiration calorimeter. He is terribly anxious to ascertain the amount of oxygen used by the human body In respiration while working and when at rest. To makeshift invaluable discovery he haa been given $7000 by the Uarnngie Institute. Perhaps the money is not virtually thrown away. PoHBiblv Professor Atwater will round up some noDoes and ascertain bow much oxygen they consume in a state of repoie. He can then catch the man who it pitching nay in the Meld, and nnd out bow much he CDniumea in a ttate of activitv. And after th $7000 It spent, wbat then? Mors, oi courae. . Grtat Addrtu by If in. C. Mrtwn. at a recent meeting of the Illinois Manufacture! ' Association, Wm. C Brown, vice-president ol the New lork Central ti. R. Oo.,ln talk on "Our Coun try and Our Bailroadt", poke in part as follow! 'The moataeriou menace that cloud our National horizon today, ominous now and increasing in tir.s and angtr and portent, it tb rapid growth of our cities as compared with tur agricultural districts. No man can regard tbe growth of oar cities as compared with oar agri. oultoral districts.

Th remedy for this evil and tbe tafetyof th nation liet in building up, encouraging and increasing our agricultural popula. Hon. More farmt and more proaperout farmers, greater in number aud in pros perity, oiler our etrongest hope. The reclamation of oar 'arid land, the et tie ments of the million of acres of still un cultivated fertile lands of the north western States promise much in this direction, but with largely increased products of the farm mutt come vastly broadened markets, or the labor of the hiisbaudman will indeed be in vain.' It behooves us, then, aa a nation, to atudy well the markets, present and prospective, of the world." Wtst Side Notes. Planting of late potatoes will continue until the middle of June. In the Stafford neighborhood fruit promise to be plentiful except Bartlett pears. Road Supervisor Shaw is improving the highway between Willamette Falls and Stafford. Gus Koellemeier is building a barn, and Charlie K. is having a well drilled by tbe Lee boys of Canby. A farmers' telephone is being built from Willamette Falls to Wilsonville. The severity subscribers are each to pay 75 cents a month. On Saturday .June 11, Tualatin Grange will give a picnic ia the grove opposite its hail, and in the evening a aance win be given at Larsea's Hall. On the 8th inst., a fire destroyed the home of Mr. Tackness, a pioneer living in the hills two miles from Butteville. He and hfs wife are both past 80. He brought the first threshing machine, a tread power, among the farmers of the west side. The farmers on tbe west Bide are wrestling with the problem that worries farmers everywhere, viz., that of se curing hired help to harvest the crops, tbe surplus young men having rushed to .the cities, or engaged in eome employment other than farming. If in other parts of the county there ave as many Republicans who say they will not vote their party ticket, as there are in the Frog Pond neighborhood, the "grand old party" is running the present race with a handicap of several hundred deserters. Tbe kickers pay taxea and bave a right, therefore, to be angry. Tbe much-talked of meteor lies in a shed built around it by Hughes, tbe man who rolled it down tbe hill to his house. It looks for all the world like a bell shaped mass of rusty iron pitted with blow holes. Those who make light of the meteonc origin of the ugly mass .of metal, suggest that it may have been prodded out of the bottom of the iron furnace which a certain Mr. Olds built at tbe Bawmill of Jimmy Moore of Wrestling Joe fame. Moore established an old fashioned Bash-saw mill on the Tualatin river, at least half a century ago, and he rented it to Olds, who made steel blooms out of iron ore dug near Oswego. The bang of tbe trip hammer which he used to make the steel, could be heard miles - away, Moore's old mill race is yet distinctly visible among tbe brush and weeds on tbe north bank of the Tualatin. $100 Reward $100. ' The readers of this paper will be plei sed to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that ia Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a con stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surface of the system, thereby destroying tbe foundation of the disease, and giving tbe patient strength by building up tbe constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors nave so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One hundred Dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Addresa, F. J.

A WORD TO FARM TOILERS. PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND The Home Friend of the Farmer and His Family. After the labors and toils of the summer time, and harvesting of crops in the early autumn, many of our farmers, their wives, daughters, and sons, find themselves in a condition of health demanding careful attention if suffering is to be avoided later on. Many experience kidney trouble in some form; with some the liver is torpid ; there is biliousness, nausea, and vomiting, with loss of appetite and depression of spirits. Thousands who have been exposed to cold, damp winds and rains while toiling in the harvest fields, now feel the twinges oi terrible rheumatism; others run down bj worry, overwork, and irregular dieting, MS tormented with the pangs of dyspepsia. To ihe thousands of run down, sickly, and half dead men and women in farm homes we recommend with all honesty and confidence the worker's friend, Paine's Celery Compound, the only medicine that can quickly and fully restore strength to the weak body and vigor to the muscles. Paine's Celery Compound tones the stomach ; it removes poisonous acids from the blood which cause rheumatism; it feeds the weak and diseased nerves and banishes neuralgic tortures; it purifies the blood and gives true vitality and life. The use of Paine's Celery Compound in autumn means the estab lishing of a perfect physical vigor to withstand the rigors of a severe winter. DIAMOND DYES for children'! dothciar molt urvlccablc.

World's Fair. News Notes. An nltfra iraa nnntumincr 1 flOA innan- deacent electric lights is a part of an olive on display in tbe Agricultural ouuuing at me worm s rair. A startling and artistic effect is pro duced in the manner of labeling the dif ferent varieties of apples in the Horti cultural Building at the World's Fair. For example, the words "The Spy" ap pear on the cheeks of the applea of that variety in a dainty yellow tint. This was produced while the fruit was on tha tree, and before it began to color the fruit grower cut from paper the lettere and pasted tbem on the apple. The sun brought out the color on every part of the apple that was not shaded by the paper letters. The largest wine cask ever made is exhibited in tbe Agricultural building at the World's Fair. It is 17tf feet in diameter and 17j feet long, and will bold 14,000 gallons. It is made entirely ot oak from Mississippi, Kentucky and Tennessee. The staves of the cask are five inches thick. Experienced coopers were brought here from Nancy, France, to construct the cask. Inclu led in the outside exhibit is a tree from California which is 22 feet in diameter. The big timber display oc cupies the north corner of tbe grounds devoted to Forestry, Fish aud Game. Here are to be aeen giant specimens from California, Oregon, Washington, Missouri and Missifiaipoi. One pine tree in this display is HU leet long and with out a branch. kaiser's wedding plesests. St. Louis, May 23. An exhibit at the World's Fair which is attracting much attention is the one personally made by Emperor William in the German Build ing. It consists of Beveral maenive sil ver pieces which were presented to the Kaiser npon his marriage in 1881, by the municipalities ot his empire. Among tbe pieces is a large Btnp of highly or nate silver, weighing at least 250 pounda four feet in length and two feet high : two groups of an allegorical character representing the Gods of tbe Kbem and tbe Elbe; two candelabra of ornate de sign, each with sockets for 17 lights; two massive gobleta for use on state oc casions and weighing 20 pounds; and a shell tray in the shape of a fan. A number of pieces of furniture also have been leaned by the Emperor. The German building is a faithful re production of tbe central portion of the royal pavilion of the Castle of Chariot tenburg, and has the distinction of hav ing been selected by Emperor William as a characteristic example of German architecture.
