Evangelist Shannon, who 1b now
holding moetlngs at the Flrs Hapllst
Church of Oregon City lina strange
things happen In his meet I ins, . The
above cut represents the burning of
some pool-tubles at Plcrson, 111 .viitv
a pool-room gambling joint wua lu op-
good people of the town. Tho owner
was converted In Shannon's intethigs
and Bhowed the fruit of convorJlon by
burning up his gambling oulllt. Shan
non lu hla meetings often use this
expression: "Too many give you '.he
heavy end of the log and tho hot end
oration much against the will of the
of the poker." The pool room man
came out all right, for Shannon nimlo I
up a purse of $200 and gave It to I
him nnd thus Shannon became the1
owner or a "Fool Room. ' Shannon
says every man Is a fool who will
shoot away his good money ow'the
green table.

The above reward will be paid

Jher Is no definite connection to
day between 1 college education and
money making, the higher education
bin Iiik become only essential to the
profes-iJijiiH. It la nothing unusual to
find a "graduate" punching cattle or
truminliig a piano In a western dance
house or even dealing faro. As to the
girls, a college education makes tbeiu
more nelf reliant, more during, and
they aro Is-gliuiliig on leaving college
to take their chances wllb the men In
Dovel ciitvrpruies.
Kverett Avery on being graduated
delivered an oration. The senior class
from a neighboring women's college
attended (be exerclws, and while
Avery was Slunk lug hi attention win
attracted to a dark hatred and eyed
girl wllb a strongly marked face who
was listening to liltn. A few days
later be atleuded the commencement
exerelura of the women's college re
ferred ri and sat looking up with In
terest at the girl who had favored Mm
with her nttetitkiu.
Avery proved to be one of the mea
who find that a higher education
doesn't always bring success. After
trying a number of occupation and
Bulling that his cdm-utlon had Inspired
him with a conteuipt for oil of them
be made up bis mluil Hint success Is
a gamble and he would as lief gamble
with Uta pick as a prospector for mines
as In any other way. Five year after
orating on the Influence of Greek
civilization on modem university life
be was twenty feet down In a bole In
Colorado hunting for gold.
Rather, he was hunting for more
gold. He bad struck a rein that prom
ised something and was following It
np. It opened well as be went down.
but the widening seemed rather to lead
to the western side of bis claim. After
following It to bis line be knocked off
and went away to put lu a claim for
the adjoining property. He was too
late. The land bad long ago been taken
up. After having beeu away from his
mine for some time he returned to It
to And a hole on the elnlrn be had been
after. A good deal of dirt had been
taken out. but nut enough to show that
the claim waa being worked by more
than one jierson.
Avwry went to work again, following
bis "lead" down, since he had reached
his limit to the west. One day he dis
tinctly heard the sound of a pick lu
that direction. Ilia neighbor bad evi
dently struck the vein be had discov
ered. Suddenly something gave way.
and the whole west side of the mine
slid down, a mass of loose dirt There
stood bis neighbor. To Avery's aston
ishment the miner was a woman,
though she wore hlgb top boots and a
skirt to her knees. The two stood star
ing nt each other by the dim light of
their lanterns.
"Your face Is familiar to me," was
the first remark. Avery made It
"I rememtier yon perfectly." replied
the neighbor. "Where have we met?"
"You were speaking of the Influence
of Creek civilization on"
"Blast the Greeks! If they bad never
existed perhaps I wouldn't be here. I
might have spent the time learning
something practical. By tne way, your
own oration Impressed me. You were
dilating on the future of woman in our
government, I believe."
It doesn't look as If I am to govern
anybody down here, does It?"
Not unless you govern me. But tell
me, how In the world did you ever hap
pen to come here?"
"After graduation I became a stenog
rapher and tyiewrlter. Father came
out here and entered several claims.
ITe died, and I came out to look over
what he had. I was advised to hare
this claim examined. That meant if
there was anything in It I would be
cheated out of It I concluded to do It
myself."
"Il'm! You've run Into my claim."
"You mean you've run Into mine."
"Hadn't you better go back east and
rollow up tbe points made lu your
graduating sjieech go into politics
and leave this thing to me to handle
for both of us?"
I like that! You might go abroad
and study up on tbe ancient Greeks' In
fluenee on modern university life. Your
college might give you a professorship
on that."
"Or some other subject of no prac
tical use. Thanks, no. I'd rather dig
dirt. In that I fael I'm doing some
thing."
I'd rather govern the country, I ad
mit, but even woman suffrage doesn't
seem to make quick headway, and I'm
afraid I'll be an old woman before I'll
be eligible to a governing odlcc."
And even then you'd lie defeated by
a younger one.
"Right you are."
"Well, let's come to an uuderstand-
uig. Five years In the world have
knocked the nonsense out of both of
us. These two mines must lie united.
I'll sell to you If you want to buy."
No funds. I'll sell to you."
Same here."
'What shall we do?"
We might unite our Interests by
uniting ourselves. I can bundle a pick
better than you, and you can cook, I
fancy. Nov.-, suppose we set up a cab-
In together. You take care of It while
I follow this lead. I'm dead sure
there's n lot In it."
Shall I confess something?"
Yes. Wbnt Is It?"
When I listened to your oration I
said to myself. 'That's the faian for
me.' "
"Did you? Same here. - Shake."

REFLECTIONS ON
"THE ONE-TALENT-MAN"
"tTnlo on h nit (Ivf tatenU, lo nothr
two, and 10 another onr; to every ma a ac
cording to hlaaeveral ability."
This one-talent-man is not a particular individual;
be represents a class. Of one-hundred men, ninety
nine are to some extent like him, and one leads the
way of progress, development and great achievment.
It was not intended that there should be one master
and many nlaves. Evolution of the races has been
constantly away from this once general condition.
The triumph of civilization will manifest itself that
day on which we behold every man a King. In spite
of the biting East wind, in spite of blasting frosts the .
tender shoot becomes the blossoming flower. ' In spite
of dwarfing influences, the despot's heel,, ignorance
and law-compel led inequality, struggling humanity
will tome into her glory. Who in some reflective
moment has not caught a glimpse of the far away, un- '
certain light? Who has not longed for the passing
of the age wherein the many labor for the profit of the
few? Who would not wish to seeEveryMan a King?
The one-talent-man sits by. He has no thought of
progress.of better things. He has digged in the ground
and hid his talent. What would he thought of the
farmer who, for fear of losing it, would not sow his
seed? What better is he, who, for fear of losing it,
hoards his gold? to be sure there is some hazard. ro
where in the whole field of human action is there free
dom from chance. Does the presence on liarth of this
one-talent-man offend? In this respect only; where
the weed stands useful vegetation might have grown.
Within the blasting shadow of this one-talent-man the
coming champion of liberty and equality may struggle
for a foothold. His influence is no more easily esti
mated than is the evil effect cf the tares in a wheat
field. Who is this one-talent-man? You? No, Nol
Your neighbor? et, you're thinking of him now;
yes, its your neighbor, certainly. You have often
thought how much better off the community would be
withoutbim. You have possibly wondered what very
little things could be written on his headstone, truth
fully, that would look just a little good. You couldn't
think of anything, could you?
What shall we do with him? eliminate him? Impos
sible! Regenerate him? Yes, that's it; regenerate him.
Within him are the smouldering embers of worth. Fan
them into a flame. A happy word may kindle the fire
that will light the World. This one-talent-man may
yet put his hidden treasure to 'worthy purpose. Out
of the narrow cell of eelf he may emerge, a component
part of the broader better life.

NOTE: These articles may have the desired effect
of causing the reader to turn the eye of introspection
momentarily on himself. He may realize that there is
a field for him to labor in. The; enterprise mentioned
in the lines immediately following this note is but the
beginning of a comprehensive plan. It is the opening
wedge. The unquali6ed success of this enterprise must
be shown. ' Then will be the time for the next step.
THE PRACTICAL SIDE
Perhaps you are traveling in a beaten path. Posibly, today, you
live yesterday over again. Possibly you are in the habit of living the
same day over and over again, 365 days of the year. Then it will be
tome time before you are in the notion of entertaining a little change
of programme. But you'll get around to it. You are the man we are
talking to. After this, read in following issues of this paper, "Reflec
tions on the One-Talent Man."
You learned to stand alone when tome two year of age. You are
old enough to learn to THINK alone now. Did It ever occur to you
that most people NEVER DO learn to think alone? When you feel
that you can listen to something a little out of the ordinary we are
going to propose that you become one of the 300 individuals who, at
proprietors, are going to constitute the foundation of a great mercan
tile enterprise.
Don't hold up your hands in horror. You have contributed your
share toward the building up of many a great enterprise. The only
difference is this: You didn't retain any evidence of the money you
put in the business so the title to the sky-scraper, the block it occupies
and the goods it contains the title to it is all In the other fellow. But
your money did the work your money built the palace of the poor
merchant who used to tell you goods in a dingy little shack on a side
street This is the "other side" of the story of the rise from the poor
clerk to the millionaire merchant.
Perhaps you, kind reader, before you have gotten this entirely off
. your mind, will be prepared to become one of the 300. You like, no
doubt, to do what most every one else is doing. That is because, like
most every one else, you want others to think for you. But remember
this: The man who goes to the front is the man who gets out of the
beaten path. He gets out of the old rut, cuts across lots, and while
the multitude plods along he bobs up far ahead. When you have
thought of all the possible reasons why you should NOT be one of the
proprietors of the establishment where you do business, then you will
be prepared to consider the reasons we are going to advance why you
SHOULD BE one of the proprietors. This later.
