Colly, I think a cup of our 40 cent pure Java coffee, piping not, with a dash of real cream or Carnation Cream is about the smoothest and most savory dope a fellow can get outside of.

Be Kind You Have Always Bought Bean the Signatur of He Was Plucky, but Paid For Hla Temority With Hit. Life. Hissing like n sullen geyser, the great puma mother crouches with flaming eyes. Ridge of her tawny back brush ed up In rage, tall a-switch, steel sin ews rigid .beneath soft skin, she glared at her four cubs In the cage corner. A fluffy ball of spotted fur sprawled on unsteady legs across toward her. Out shot a mighty fore paw; the baby was hurled suddenly back ninoug his powering brothers and sisters. "Nasty temper," 1 remarked to the keeper. "Ilns she been long like that?" "Started this forenoon." He shook his head In anxiety. "I don't like it. I'll have to separate them, I fear." The unnatural mother commenced pacing her prison, sparring viciously at her offspring iu passing. Three huddled together In a pitiful heap, but one stood up and defied her. A Jungle terror In miniature, his tiny rage was magnificent. Tensely alert before his trembling mates, be shifted warily to meet each blow, dodging, spitting, striking out an awkward paw at the great thrusts. "They don't turn on their cubs often. Only knew It once before. You notice, meln herr, ber claws are not out when the strikes. That may come; then we Will lose some promising babies here." The young German keeper was great ly distressed. I returned iu the morn ing to see how the affair had progress ed. Entering the Frankfurt Thicrgar tcn, I found the lion house. My friend stood ta the empty corridor looking Into the cage. Sleek forn'is shifted restlessly on every side; a pal light came from above; the place was close with a heavy odor. lie greeted me mournfully. "The little beggar was too spirited. She got blin last night. Just a second In her jaws, and the taxidermist won't attempt to stuff the Bkln." The re maining cubs peered wonderlngly at us from an aTljoinlug cage; the mur- deress paced In silence, but her eyes were alive with a strange fascinating light. The tragedy had stirred- the rows of imprisoned beasts. An uncan ny howl In a chilling key came from the leopards; the llou's deep throat ed guttural sent unwelcome quivers through one's nerves. I left the building, relieved to feel the breeze and see the sunlight. Foor little chap of a puma, he surely had tremendous pluck! Travel Magazine. FOURTH SERMON DISCOURSE BY REV. T. F. BOWEN Excerpts from the Fourth of a Series of Sermons in St. Paul s Church. dl to to in to as A PRESENT DAY UTOPIA. Moore island, the Happiest and Fair est Spot on Earth. Hugo Parton, writing in the Outing Magazine, says that the happiest and most beautiful spot ou earth today is the island of Moorea.one of the Society Islands, In the south seas. As a con trast to strenuous American methods this description sounds alluring: "Whenever you are thirsty a word will send a lithe brown body scram' bling up a tall palm tree trunk, and In two minutes n green cocoanut Is ready for you to quaff the nectar of the Poly nesian gods. It is worth the trip down here to cat the native 'vittals,' for you get at every meal things you never tasted before, and each seems better than Its predecessor; to see your din uer of fresh water shrimps, sharks' fins and roasted sea urchins. The ba nanas you eat there are eleven varie tiesbaked, raw, fried, dried grow a few rods back in the valley; ditto the breadfruit, the pineapples aud about everything else on the board. It's nice to have your morning coffee grown In the back yard. Guavas grow In such profusion they are used as pig food, grated cocoanut is fed to hens, while sensitive plaut is considered excellent fodder for cattle. "For perfection of the human body the Tahltian Is unexcelled. If, indeed, he Is anywhere equaled. They are a large race, both men and women being noticeably taller and more fully de veloped than Anglo-Saxons. I doubt If any Society Islander ever went through a whole day In his life without having a wrec'h of flowers on his head or blossom behind bis ear. The love of flowers Is innate with man, woman and child. They can't pass through a patch of woods without enierglug with a gar land. Every gay mood calls for flow ers on their hats, in their hair, behind their ears, and their life Is an almost unbroken sequence of gay moods. Scarcely a native on the Island of Moorea can speak a sentence .of Eng lish, but every one you meet greets you with a courteous smile nud the wel coming word 'Ia-ora-na' (Yoraua)." Poetry Defined. George P. Morris, the author of "Woodman, Spare That Tree," was a general of the New York militia and a favorite with all who knew him. Mrs. Sherwood In her reminiscences tells bow another poet associated the gener al with a definition of poetry. Once Fitz-Greene Ilulleck, the author of "Marco Bozzaris," called upon her In New-,York In bis old age, and she asked him to define for her what was poetry, and what was prose. lie replied: "When General Morris commands his brigade nud says, 'Sol diers, draw your swords!' he talks prose. When be says 'Soldiers, draw your wiliiug swords!' be talks poetry." A Bargain. "What!" exclaimed the husband. "You drew your savings from the bank, went to a broker's office and bought Z., X. and Y. stock at 14, when It has been dropping like a rock?" "But, my dear," argued the wife. "It was such a bargain. Why, duriug the short time I was In the office I saw the man mark It down to 14 from 45!" Success Magazine. Next to excellence is !l.e apprecia tion of It. Tbafkeray. Utah Land Plaster.

Huntley Bros. Co. - Confessing Christ. "Whomsoever therfore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which Is In .heaven." Matt. 10:32. Jesus demands public confession from all who desire to share the bless ings of his salvation. What must one do to be able to as sure himself that he Is meeting the Saviour's demand? Let us, as we have done in the pre ceding sermons, endeavor to get back to first principles and primitive prac tice, by enquiring how the early dis ciples of Jesus confessed Him, such men as Peter, Andrew and Paul. Studying the record as given In the Gospels we find that: 1. They accepted as true His vine claims. They believed Him be the Son of God. 2. They responded to His call become His disciples. They cast their lot with Him. 3. They committed themselves His leading, acknowledged Him Lord and Master. If you had asked them when it was that they definitely became His dis ciples when the "confessing" began they would have dated their new life from their baptism. And It was con tinued daily, as by the help of God's Grace they endeavored fb live as He lived. And this Is what it means to con fess Him now. The first step is bap tism, (I do not see how we can regard this as anything else but indlspens ible.) The second Is the adoption of His way of living and endeavoring to reproduce it. Committing one's self to His leading, catching His spirit, seeking His Kingdom, acknowledging Him as Lord and Master. But many people have come to think that confessing Christ means confess ing something about themselves. Not Christ's school, but that they have attained some degree of spiritual per fection, or had some notable religious experience. And that on this account they are suited for, and entitled to, membership in a society of people who represent a spiritual aristocracy, people better than their neighbors. If this is what it means then con fessing Christ is something of the nature of a boast, like that of the Pharisee who thanked God that he was not like other men. It leads to spiritual pride and excluslveness, not to that "humbleness of mind" which the apostle recommends as the temper befitting the Christian man. This is to invert and subvert the plan and purpose of Jesus, many true souls are repelled from the church because they do not feel that they can make any such "profession of re ligion." The church, as Jesus framed it, was not a select society. Entrance into, it Involved no such profession of mor al or spiritual superiority. It was a society made up of those who were "being saved," in whom the process of saving was going on. The church Is the school of Christ. It Is a hospital for sick souls. An ap plicant for admission to a school con fesses his ignorance, not his learning. A man who seeks treatment at a hospital confesses sickness, not health. So the candidate for admis sion to the church professes nothing about himself except his need of God's grace. He comes to be healed and taught. The early church held her arms wide open to receive all who had faith In Jesus and were ready to commit themselves to Him. All such were forthwith baptized. Many were weak and faulty, many fell into sin after baptism. But the church was their nursing mother. She exhorted and re buked and warned, but did not cast them out, any more than a human mother casts out her sickly child, or a school its dull pupils. This was the nature of the church as it came from the hands of its di vine founder. But this has been changed for millions of people, to whom the term "church" has come to mean a little club composed of people who think alike on some theory of religion, and are bidding for public patronage, In competition with several other little clubs holding other theo ries. Brethren, what was the mission of Jesus? He came to save His people from their sins. His people there fore all people, for all are His. He came to destroy .the works of the devil, to set men free. , He lived for His peo ple and died for them. While on earth He spoke to them words of peace, pardon, hope.' He as sured them of His good will concern ing them, and when It was expedient for them that He should return to the Father, He left behind as His repre sentative "The church which is His body," because in it He dwells and through it He acts. It Is the exten sion on earth of the life of Jesus Christ with us; it Is "the homestead of God.' the "ark of safety," the school of Christ. In the church are all the means of grace necessary to the deliverance of a soul from sin and the developing of Christian character, worship and confession, prayer and praise, work and sacrament. The fort of regeneration, the gift of the Holy Spirit, the continual "shewing forth" on the altar of the death of Christ. There are words of comfort for those in trouble and thanksgiving for the hour of joy. In this atmosphere the soul "grows in grace," lives and walks with God until His voice calls him from the church in Paradise. 1 We Don't Keep Groceries WE SELL THEM Shlvely's pera House, Tuesday Mar. 3.

BRIGHTBILL 5 n h-i n a rxavrrvM rrrv i into the dramatic field, taking as his central theme a former train robbery which occurred there some years back; he has woven a melodramatic comedy about it, which has already proven its worth by seven years of sucessful existence. Mr. .Raymond claims that his play is founded on fact. Whether fact or fiction is really Immaterial for he has writen a very interesting story of life, of love, of mystery, of intrigue and adventure, amoung the old class of moonshine mountaineers that inhabit those hills, dealing with their lives, their habits, their customes, their social character istics and peculiarities. The scenes were painted from actual photographs of the various localities pictured and every character is true to life. Dra matic in all of its scenes and melo dramatic in many, it never transcends the bounds of probability and no one need stretch the imagination to be convinced of its reality. So true to nature is it in every scene that it seems to be a bit o life actually trans planted from its original setting to the stage. Reserved seats for sale at Shlvely's, phone 2321. mmt GEO.

This makes a column more on each page than you usually get in a county weekly or 12 columns, which is equal to two extra pages when comparing with a six column paper. Then the extra length gives half a page extra. So, summing up, the County Weekly as a rule gives you 8 pages each containing 6 columns. To get the comparative size of the COURIER you must, add pages which is lacking only a gage and a half of being just double the size of the ordinary 8-page weekly. Only the loyal support that the COURIER ha3 enjoyed throughout the County enables it to furnish such a large paper. If you are a reader of the paper call your neighbor's attention to the fact that Clackamas County has never before had so much in the way of a County Paper.
