The Robbie Burns Society has plan
ned a unique debate for next Monday
' night. The members will discuss the
candidacies of Theodore Roosevelt,
William Howard Taft and Woodrow
Wilson. It will be a great meeting,
and, it goes without saying, that all
arguments for. the three candidates
will be presented. William McLarty,
usually a philosopher, and when not
trying to emulate Benjamin Franklin,
a tailor, will champion the cause of
"Mr. Taft. That Mr. McLarty will put

speakers is assured. Max Telford,
the pioneer Bull Mooser in Clackamas
County, is going to talk for the Col
onel Mr. Telford, who can recite ev'.
erything Bobbie Burns wrote back
wards, and talks in Sir Walter Scott's
iamhric verse, just like this "The
stag at eve had drunk his fill, where
' danced the moon on Monan's rill,"
etc. and so forth will champion the
cause of the man who had filched
from him a valuable book while he
sojourned in Portland. Mayor C. S.
Noble, who never did anything worse
than fight at San Juan Hill, two or
three days after Admira 1 Sampson
learned he had made a mistake by
not keeping on the job and Admiral
Schley had snatched from himj all
the glory of a great sea victory, will
defend the Professor. Major Noble
will try to prove! to the . Scotsmen
present that all of them should sup
port Mr. Wilson, and the Scotsmen
present will come to the usual con
clusion at the end of the debate that
they can vote for anybody they wish
to and they will do it. There will be
an interesting program.

Molalla, has installed a mill at Macks.

FITZ HAS POOR OPINION
OF THE WHITE HOPES.
Robert Fitzsimmons strolled
Into a Broadway hotel in New
York recently Several friends
asked him what he'd have, and
then one of them queried:
"Say. Bob. what do you think
of the white hopes?"
Mr. Fitzsimmons finished his
beverage, wiped his lips and
lighted a cigar. Then, grinning
broadly, he retorted:
"I don't think."
O'TOOLE IN MISFORTUNE
Pirates' Twirler Losing Many Games
by Narrow Margin.
What about Martey O'Toole? With
the season's end not far off fans find
the question somewhat unanswered.
Battling with ill luck and the handicap
Imposed upon him by glittering ad
vance notices, the red beaded spitball
pitcher has worked heroically to justi
fy the expenditure of $22,500 by the
Pittsburgh club to gain his services.
But the $22,500 is the smallest part
of it. That sum bas come back through
the box office. What Pittsburgh want
ed more than anything else was a
pitcher. It got a dandy, but he has
been unsuccessful. Behind him his
club has been lamentably weak on the

attack. Most of his defeats have been
his best pitched games, an instance be
ing recently when a home run off him
by Schulte was the only run scored in
a twelve inning game with the Cubs,
probably the greatest game ever staged
In Pittsburgh.
O'Toole has been a very erratic pitch
er this season. One cannot go behind
the. facts. But be bas weathered his
trials bravely and is still plugging
along, confident and eager to hit his
winning stride. Skeptics who ridiculed
the outlay of the big sum to St. Paul
for his services have tried to raise the
"I told you so." but O'Toole has shown
enough to furnish a hundred argu
ments to the contrary.
After the fans have had their say
about O'Toole one way and the other
and after critics everywhere have peck
ed at him and harped on his hard luck
and failing efforts to win a lot of
games it is a good idea to hearken to
the opinions expressed of O'Toole by
National league batsmen. Rnbe Mar
quard, Frank Schulte. Dick Hoblitzel
and any number of leading lights have
extolled the merits of O'Toole and have
declared him to be a wonderful pitcher

HIS HANDICAP
If yon were starting out In the world
as a beginner would you begin by
throwing $5,000 Into the river?
That Is what John La very, the Scot
tish artist did.
When he set out on his journey to
success as an artist be deliberately
threw a 1,000 note into the Clyde.
Why? Because he feared his money
might prove a handicap. He knew he
needed the spur of poverty In order to
do his best work.
To say the least the cure was a he
roic one. And perhaps he was logical.
He knew himself better than any
one else and doubtless was wise in
concluding that so long as be had
money to live on he would lack in
centive. However that may be. the rare logic
of the Scottish artist may contribute
to the encouragement of the poor boy
who Is struggling through discourage
ment or failure.
You have no money handicap?
The rich man's son usually falls be
cause of his money. Having plenty,
there Is too much temptation to take
things easy, to put off the disagreea
ble, to loiter on the way toward
achievement "What's the use?" que
ries the man who is not obliged.
He who is driven to accomplishment
by no other Incentive than that of his
mere inclination Is a rare man.
Moreover, some one has said It Is a
good thing that a man should fail In
his first business venture. Certain It
Is that most successful men have come
op through failure.
Failure Is experience. And expert
ence educates.
Blinded by the dust of the battle
which he has lost, the young man con
cludes that when the battle Is lost all
Is lost He has yet to learn that the
battle Is only one In the series of the
campaign.
By and by, pondering over his first
defeat he discovers where his line
was weak or where he failed to move
at the right moment Having learned
his mistake, ere long be is up and at it

Times-Democrat N
A man alighted from a stagecoach
this happened wheu most of that re
gion lying beyond the Missouri river
was known as the wild and woolly
west at a point called Silver City.
He wore an alpine hut. a tweed suit,
fashionably cut, with flaps on the hip
pockets; tan gaiters and highly polish
ed shoes. Crossing his waistcoat was
a gold watch chain, and in one eye be
wore a single glass. The only orna
ment on him was a cross, apparently
made of bronze, which dangled from
the watch chain.
''Beg pa'don." he said to a man who
stepped out of a saloon, "could you
tell ' me what time the stage going
north comes along?"
The questioned man was so aston
ished at the questioner's makeup re
markable for that country at that time
that he forgot to reply, but stood
gaping at the well dressed man as if
he were an apparition sprung from the
bowels of the earth. -
"And I beg your parding, stranger,"
said the man from the saloon. "Would
you. mind tellin' me where the show is
you come out of?"
"I don't think I quite understand
you."
"One o the wax Aggers. I surmise."
By this time another man had emerg
ed from the saloon with a long red
mustache, a red face and smelling of
liquor. -
He. too. started at beholding the gen
tleman in the tweed suit.
"I'm making for Canada," said the
latter. "I'm to bike the coach here.
Would either of you mind telling me
where the booking office is?"
"The booking office!" exclaimed the
last comer. "What's a booking office?"
The stranger dropped his monocle by
winking and regarded the speaker
with surprise. " "
"Don't know what a booking office
Is? Why. it's one of those places
where a fellow takes a seat In a
coach."
"You don't mean It! Do you know
how to dance?"
"I do."
"Well." drawing an enormous revolv
er from his hip, "suppose you show .off
some."
"Oh. let him alone. Jim," said the
man whom the stranger had first ad
dressed. "He's a wax figger of the
Prince o' Wales from a museum."
"I reckon the prince knows how to
dance," said Jim. and he knocked the
stranger's hat off with a bullet.
"Oh. I don't mind danncing a bit for
a fine gentleman like you. But how
would you like a handful of gold pieces
instead?"
"Do you take me for a road agent?"
asked Jim.
"You mean a highwayman? No, in
deed. But you feel at liberty to ask
me to dance, don't you?"
"Reckon we like to give a man a
chance to show off all there Is in him."
"Well. I'd much rather satisfy vou
In some other way. You see, there's
no place here for dauncing. I cawn't
daunce In the road, you know."
"You caun't. eh?" - "
Jim fired another shot that whizzed
within an inch of the Britisher's ear.
"Now. suppose I show you a new
trick with coins," said the latter. "T've
won no end of money at it. I took in
200 aboard ship coming over."
This was something the roughs could
understand.
"What do you say. Bill? Shall we
take his game Instead of a dance?"
"Reckon," acquiesced Bill.
"Go In. Mr. Wax Figger. and don't be
too slow about It It's a hot day. and
you might -melt before you show us
your trick."
Jim lowered his revolver, and Bill
stood with his thumbs in his belt The
Britisher began his exhibition.
"I have half a crown in me right hand
pocket and a sovereign In me left
Now, I'll put a hand in each "pocket
this way." He crammed a hand dowD
Into each pocket "Then I'll pull 'em
out like this." He drew a fist doubled
up from each pocket The audience
stood looking at him with evident in
terest Each fist as It came out of its
pocket was drawn up under a large
cuff, so as to be partly concealed.
"Now, I want you to tell which hand
holds the half crown and which the
sovereign."
He extended one hand toward Jim
and the other toward Bill. Something
cracked; a puff of smoke ensued from
his right fist, and Jim fell forward
with a bullet in his brain.
"Hands up!" said the wax figger to

his hands went up In a hurry. The
Britisher went to him and detached his
revolver. Several . persons loitering
near beard the shot and saw Jim fall.
They approached the Britisher and
heard his story. He showed them a
short Derringer pistol he held In each
hand. Only one shot without reload
ing could be fired from each, but they
were capable of being concealed.
"Yon see." said the stranger, "I was
told there was shooting going on out
here, and I prepared myself."
"What's that cross you wear on your
watch chain, stranger?" asked one of
the party.
"Oh, that's a bit of a trinket I got
in the Boer war last summer."
"A kind of a medal?"
"Yes." . '
"Any special name for It?"
"The Victoria cross."
