OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3,1916. IS HE A FAGIN? Junk Dealer said to Have Urged Boys to Steal for Him The district attorney's office and the constable are investigating the case of Leon Harmorcl, a junk dealer who recently came to the county seat, and who is under arrest for receiv ing stolen property. Two boys, whose names are being withheld by the au thorities out of mercy for their fam ilies, have also been taken into cus tody in connection with Harmorci. Investigation of Harmorci's junk A CHANGE OF TACTICS. MODEL SCHOOL FOUND How It Worked In the Case of a Dis couraged Salesman. The following method of gaining as. surance is told In the American Maga zlne. It is the experience of a sales. man who could not sell his goods be cause be allowed himself to be dig. couraged at Initial attempts. It bas wide application everywhere: "1 am u commercial traveler who conquered the habit of despondency, Every one who sells goods knows bow fierce is the competition. When I took shop revealed a varied assortment of j tbu Job Blx years S t seemed abso- material, ranging from trolley wire connections to old clothes. The junk included leather belting stolen from the storeroom of the Courier Press, clothes and personal property of C. 0. Dryden, superintendent of the com posing room at the Enterprise, babbit metal bearings presumably from the paper mills, material and fixtures tak en from boats on the river, and or namental brass fittings taken from the benches in Canemah park. To obtain the latter the boys piled the benches up and set fire to them, salvaging the brass from the ashes. Partial confessions made by the boys appear to implicate the junk man. The boys, in all probability, will be released on parole; as it is not believed that they initiated the robberies in which they were concerned.

FOLLOWS DAD'S STEPS Lane County Man Teaches in Same School that Father Did A man who has taught in Lane county public schools for 23 consecu tive years, whose father taught for 43 years in the same county, and who is now teaching in the same school in which his father taught 42 years ago, recently applied for reading circle questions to the extension division of the State University. He is Elmer T. Jordan, and he is now teaching in the Deerhorn -district. He was responsible for one of the first playsheds at a Lane county pub lic school, and got it equipped with gymnasium apparatus. When he be gan teaching he got $22.50 a month and walked four miles to school daily; he now gets $85 a month. lutel.v overwhelming. I didn't sell anything to speak of and made up my nilud that I couldn't, tbongb 1 kept on making the round of the groceries, There seemed to be a thousand sales. men just ahead of me. I grew very bitter at the thousand and everybody else. Whenever I entered a store It was with the firm conviction that I should not get an order. I looked dull eyed at the merchant and said gloom ily: " 'Anything In my line?' at the same time reaching for the doorknob. They didn't try to detain me. "One day in conversation with an old drummer, a shrewd veteran of the road, I opened my heart with a sav age complaint about the thousand salesmen, my advance guard. He puff ed his cigar a moment, bis eyes twin kled anij be slapped me on the shoul der. " 'I know,' be said. 'I bad 'em ahead of me once. They raised Cain with me until 1 chased 'em to the rear. Take my advice, boy, and get up to the head of the procession and let the other fel lows do the worrying.' . "I thought it over, and It dawned on me that it was a question of viewpoint. I had formed a habit of picturing my self at the 'tall of the line, though in reality we were going In a circle and my position was as good as any. Then 1 changed ray tactics and formed u new bablt-the habit of thinking of niysel' as the leader, the very first tuan In the territory. Just us an experi ment I went out the next day believ ing thut I should get orders. I pulled my order book and pencil the moment I entered n store and begnn to name certain goods. " 'Sugar!' I cried, looking Hie grocer expectantly In the eye, as much us lo say thut 1 could see the empty barrel behind his counter. And the barrel was empty! It worked so well In the first store that 1 I rled more vigorously In the next, and the merchiiut cume down freely. It was ulmost uncanny the way 1 guessed the Items he need ed. 1 went out on the Hide wu Ik und laughed aloud. And I actually sold more goods thut day than I had sold before in three weeks. "Well, tho firm raised my salary in stead of firing me, as they had pluuned to do, and 1 still insist that 1 am the Qrst man over the route. I tell you, right habits of thought are worth money sometimes u fortune." University Experts say Gaston, Ore gon, Has Finest of Structures No district in Oregon with so small a population as Gaston, Washington county, has a better schoolhouse, ac cording to Dr. Fred C. Ayer, profes sor of education, who recently made a dedicatory address for the newly-nn ished $12,000 structure. When the Gaston people realized they must have a new school, they de cided to build for the future. They put up not only a schoolhouse but a community center building. The liter ary and reading room is open to the public evenings and Saturday after noons. A Victrola has been installed and an abundance of records provided Principal R. E. Winger has arranged to maintain a state traveling library n the school. As there was no good public meeting place in Gaston, an auditorium to seat 400 was designed in the school, and is open for all pub lic gatherings. Principal Winger is considering in stallation of night classes for adults and of a weekly moving picture in the school auditorium. "The Gaston school represents the realization of one of the main ideas of the schools of extension and educa tion of the University," said Dr. Ayer. Chiropractic removes the cause 'of Diabetes.

I tried Foley's Honey and Tar and two bottles cured me. am now well and back to my normal weight." Foley's Honey and Tar gets right at the trouble. It is a safe, re liable remedy.

The occupation most duugerous to the soul that of personnl service bus not resulted for tho people of France in flunkylsm on the one hand nnd su perior airs on the other. There is something in the poise aud motion of French working girls, in their fearless eyes aud vibrant voices, that suggests u fluid and mobile social structure which deepens the impres sion of rigidity in the life across the channel and beyond the Rhino. French people of the more favored classes are never heard bemoaning the decay of a "proper" servant class. On the con trary, if you speak to them of the striking contrast between the French proletariat and that of other countries theirs so natural and gay, the others so humble or so sullen or both they instantly expand with pride. "Exact ly!" they exclaim. "Our brave French peoplel Just as good as monsieur, as mndame, but also no better!" The status of the French domestic derives in part at least from the weight of responsibility under which she serves. For ber mistress is neither a careless housekeeper nor nn Indifferent mother. It Is precisely because the Frenchwoman loves her children so ar dently, so romnntlcully, one might say, and because ber quick. Intelligent grasp of material situations makes ber an excellent economist at home that she requires and establishes in the house hold not a common servant, not "mother's helper," but a woman of in. telligence and character, a woman oft en young and untried, but with the true ring, who Is or soon becomes ca pable of assuming direct responsibility for the care of the children and the house a woman who deserves and re ceives the consideration due to the head of an Important department In the management of the family life. French children are notoriously spoil ed. The little monarchs are kept on a pedestal well Into the age of moral re. sponslblllty. Father, mother, all the older relatives, vie with one another in admiring and indulging them. With this understanding of the term and scope of the child's autocratic reign, one can afford to laugh at turbulent scenes in which he puts to rout every adult in the house except his bonne. At the mere sight of her the little des perado begins to quiet down. He Is In the presence of the only person who has, so far, exercised any rational au thority over bim, the person before whom he feels the beginnings of shame at doing wrong. The bonne is the most Important per son in the family group, so far as Its material well being is concerned. And morally, spiritually, she Is a true mem ber of the family. It Is not for nothing that the word "bontie" means "good as well as "nurse." It may be thut the prevailing good relation between musters nnd servants In France has a very simple cxplaua tlon simple und yet profound. It may be that It springs at bottom from the warm affections of the people. They cannot live without love nnd sentl ment Better than any other people they know how to keep alive the ro mance of friendship, of love and even of that Inherently bad relation, master and slave. The French servant who has no fam ily ties and often the one who has- throws her whole heart and soul Into the family life of her master and mis tress. She must love she must serve she must be loved. And the French master and mistress understand. Each one Idealizes the sentiments of the other, In a word, the romance of the situa tion grips them all. French literature Is crowded with examples of mistress and servant whose Intimacy shows no trace of condescension on the one side or of servility on the others. J. Fran ces Cooke la New Republic.

If you ever go to London among the places of interest there you will visit the public buildings known as the Royal Exchange. There is a cupola at the top of that building. Rising from that cupola Is an Iron rod with a huge grasshopper on it for a weather vane. And there is an interesting story con nected with that' grasshopper. It Is this: Oue day, more than 300 years ago, a mother In England had an In fant, a few months old, which she SLEET WHELMS VALLEY From County Seat to Portland Con ditions are Worst on Record What is euphoniously called a "sil ver thaw" hit Portland and the north ern end of Clackamas county Tuesday afternoon, and by Wednesday after noon the coating of ice and trouble spread as far south as Oregon City. While Portland and the northern coun ty towns suffered the most, conditions elsewhere were bad enough to suit most everybody. The interurban line made a brave wanted to get rid of. So she wrapped I struggle to maintain schedules, and did fairly well until Tuesday night After that the cars ran when they could. Wednesday morning for a brief time conditions were somewhat better, but by noon the ice grip clos ed in again, and schedules once more went by the board. Efforts of one train crew to make the Gladstone sid ing shortly after noon Wednesday carried down about a hundred feet of wire, and in the afternoon the ser vice was discontinued entirely for a time. The great weight of ice carried down many trees on both main roads along the river, and travel was slow and uncertain. One automobile party that left the county seat Tuesday night for Portland had to chop a road through half a dozen fallen wires on the west side road, and took four hours to make the trip. The trans mission lines on the west side of the river also came to grief. Tuesday night street lights in Mil waukie went out of commission; four telephone poles on Twenty-first street and one on the Foster road went down, taking their tangle of wires with them and isolating Milwaukie from Port land. Fruit trees. esDeciallv tho nlH. er and larger ones, suffered heavily. it up in a shawl and laid It down un der a bush in a field and left it there to die unless some one should find It and take care of it Shortly after a little boy was coming home from school. As he passed by the place he heard a grasshopper chirp ing in the field. He stopped a moment to listen to It. Then he climbed over the fence to get It But Just as he was about to catch it be caught sight of the baby close by. He let the grass hopper go and, taking the baby In his arms, carried it home to bis mother. She took charge of the baby and brought him up. He turned out to be a good, pious boy.

He was successful In business and be came rich. He was not only rich, but grent He was knighted and Is well known in English history as Sir Thom as Greshnm. The Royal Exchange was built in honor of him. And he bad the grasshopper put as a weather vane on the top of It in memory of the won derful way in which when an Infant his life was saved by the good provi dence of God.

Huxley once wondered whether he was a deist an atheist, an agnostic, a pantheist a materialist or a skeptic, an Idealist a Christian, an Infldel or a freethinker. And the more he reflect ed the deeper his- problem. What nn swer will any one make? Dr. .lames C. Fernald in his work "Synonyms and Antonyms" defines each according to his own belief, as follows: The deist admits (he existence of God, but denies that the Christian Scriptures are a revelation from Him. The atheist denies that there is a God. The agnostic denies either that we do know or (bat we can kuow whether there is a God. The skeptic doubts di vine revelation. The Infidel Is nn opprobrious term that might once almost have been said to be geographical In Its range. The crusaders called all Mohammedans in fidels and were so cnlled by them In return. The word is commonly npplled to any decided opponent of an accept ed religion. A freethinker Is inclined or addict ed to free thinking, especially one who rejects authority or inspiration in re ligion. A materialist takes Interest only In the material or bodily necessi ties and comforts of life. A pantheist accepts the doctrine of pantheism. An idealist idealizes or seeks an Ideal or ideal conditions. A Christian Is oue whose profession and life conform to the teaching aud example- of Christ. Pantheism Is the doctrine that Uod and the universe are Identical. . It con trasts with atheism as the positive de nlal and with agnosticism as the dog matic doubt of the existence of God. It opposes that form of deism which denies the divine Inimuncuce and sep arates God from the world." Seamad So.

NEW BUILDING PLANNED Oregon City's Laundry New Home will be Much Like Courier Building Using the sturdy and modern build ing of the Courier Press for a model, work will soon be started on the con struction of a two-story brick and mill-construction structure for tho Oregon City laundry, according to E. M. ifiakeslee, proprietor, and Dan Ly ons, contractor. The new building will be erected on the block bounded by Seventh, Main, Eighth and Rail road streets, and will front on the alley that runs along the side of the city hall. The rear of the building will adjoin the rear of the Courier property. The laundry building will be two stories in height, and will have a full basement. The basement and the first floor will be used for the laundry, and the second story will be divided into apartments. New quarters for the laundry are made necessary by the sale of the former property to the Hawley Puly & Paper comDanv for mill extensions. Meade Post has Record Though Sumner Post, G. A.
