Days only, at PLENTY OF ADVICE Miss Margaret I. French and Evert Liisanatti, the latter of 747 Missouri avenue, Portland, received son3 sage advice Tuesday In Justice Sievers' court, whither thay went to get mar ried. Coming unexpectedly in the af ternoon, the justice had no witnesses handy to attend the ceremony, and so hied himself next door to the office of Comrade Clyde, of Meade Post, G. A. R., and requisitioned the old soldier aa one of the two witnesses required by law. Mr. Clyde looked at the young couple before him, and with a per fectly serious manner, spoke the fol lowing words: - "This getting married is a serious business, young folks, but you will find that it is. the best thing to do. I have had a great deal of experience in this sort of thing, in fact I haven't been without a wife for more than a year at any time In my life that I can remember. I've been married four times, r.nd I think it is the only way to live. I paid five dollars for getting the knot tied when I married my last wlfe, and now I wouldn't trade her off for six dollars." ..

Mrs. Doolittle was visiting at the home of her son, William Doolittle when-she was stricken. Although she had been sick during the past winter, she was much improved and her death was entirely unexpected. Mrs. Doo little had suffered no heart trouble before her death, although the illness which she suffered during the winter left her heart somewhat weakened. Mrs. Doolittle, who was Miss Mary Greenwalt, before her mariage to Mr. Doolittle, was born in Youngstown, Ohio, June 25, 1852. She lived in that place two years, and then removed with her parents to Grand Island, Neb., where she lived ten years. From there sh9 went to Marrietta, Calif., where she lived for two years. In March, 1889, she came to Oregon City with her husband, but only lived here two years and moved back' to Marietta. After spending a couple of years in Mareitta, she again came back to this city, where she has spent most of her time. She has lived at intervals in Seattle, Mckee, Ore., and for the past year or two has resided in Powell River, B. C, with her hus band. She was married to A. R. Doo little, Nov. 9, 1870 at Edford, III. Mrs. Doolittle was a prominent member of the First Methodist church of this city and was much identified with church affairs. She was also a member of the Oregon City Woman's club. She leaves a host of friends who will regret her death. Mrs. Doolittle leaves the following children: Mrs. O. W. Cheney, of Portland; Mrs. Charles Lynch, of of Powell River, B. C, and Mrs. Cora of Oregon City; Mrs. Benjamin Lynch, of Powell River, ( B. C, and Mrs. Cora Huston, of Reno, Nev.

There are five grandchildren, Mrs. W. A. Maxwell, of Seattle; Raymond Doo little, of Oregon City, Oran Cheney, of Portland; Edmund Doolittle and Florence Lynch, both of Powell River, B. C. Ignorant, but Ready. A longshoreman borrowed an able seaman's discharge papers during a strike and enlisted on a full rigged ship. On his first watch on deck the order rang out,. "Haul in the jib!" and the longshoreman in his ignorance aft like the wind. Abaft the wheel be ran foul of the captain, who roared: "Didn't you hear the order? You don't expect to find the jilfboora jutting out from the stern, do you?" The longshoreman pulled his fore lock as be had seen old shellbacks do. "How was 1 to know?" he said. "Different ships, different customs."

There are times in the life of every man ami .voiinui when lie or she must tight for the right. The occHsion comes to all when we must sUiiiil up aud be counted on one side or the oilier. It may not always seem convenient to do this, may not appear good policy. Vet in the long run it is the only course that wins. All of us in our hearts know what is right and instinctively love the man who stands, for it. The world is full of eyes, ears and tongue, and sooner or later what we do will be known. It will count in the world's opinion of us. - And sooner or later the man or wo man who is right is going to be the ictor. The man who says the con- traryTnrs-ffot looked far enough. He is either a pessimist or a sophist, or both. It is a shortsighted policy that fails to reckon with the workings ' of the moral law. In all the universe there is no law that works truer or more certainly. The chief quality required to keep us loyal to this law is backbone. Not only does God hate a coward, but a coward hates himself. This makes it unanimous. Moral cowardice is the worst cow ardice "of all. It is not enough to know the truth. We must also live the truth.' There are times when we must have the backbone to stand alone. The test comes which determines whether our armor plate is of temper ed steel or is full of blowholes. Occasion searches us through and through, reveals us to ourselves, dis covers whether our spines are made of gristle or bone. Life Is a trying out process. It brings to light every flaw, eveiy peculiarity, every crooked place in character. The steel rail in the factory may ap pear perfect yet contain a hidden de- j feet When - the great locomotives pouDd over it at fifty miles an hour ' that defect will become apparent. The i discovery will probably involve wreck, I not only to the rail, but to a trainload of human beings. Life is much the same sort of heavy pounding process that the' locomotive puts on the rail. If there is a defect in onr backbones it will be made evi dent. It may also entail wreck, and the pity of it Is that the wreck will inevitably involve others. Backbone is to character what the rail is to the railroad. Beware of the hidden flaws, for they are the points at which the break will come. Boost tout ctty by boosting rev dally paper. The Enterprise sbouli be ia erery home. . ; Albert Tweed and Henry Ashurst. two chums eighteen years old. made an agreement that whichever died first would appear to the other. Later they separated. Twenty years passed. Tweed, who was a steady chap, remained in the place where he was born. Ashurst went to Australia. From there he wrote several letters to his friend, aft er which the correspondence ceased. From that time forward Tweed heard nothing of his friend. He did not be lieve that Ashurst was dead, for if so he would have appeared to him, for Tweed was full of the idea that the dead may come back to us. This be lief was owing to his disposition, which was easily influenced by tales of such wonders. When Tweed was forty-three years old he had a wife and three children, the oldest a girl of nineteen. Her fa ther had told her of this agreement of his youth, and she was at an age to be interested in it Now and again she would ask her father if he had-seen the ghost of his friend. One spring he was called away from home. When he returned, though it was no later than April, the weather was very warm, as sometimes hap pens in that month. He was fond of sleeping out of doors and considered it exceedingly healthy. His house stood in the center of a large yard, and his front porch made excellent sleep ing quarters. Bringing some blankets, be placed them on a banging bed and turned in. In the middle of the night he was awakened by a sound. There was noth ing to obstruct his view of the lawn before the bouse, and. the moon being at the full and on the meridian, he could see all about him as plain as day. The' figure' of a man was coming up the walk, but with a tread that was absolutely silent One thing be noticed immediately that the walk of this approaching person was that of his friend Ashurst. The figure came on up to the steps and looked up to the heav ens. This threw the light of the moon full on his face, and Tweed recognized Ashurst just as he bad seen his friend last, a quarter of a century before. If he had grown older there was not suf ficient change to be noticeable. The only difference in his appearance from that remembered by Tweed was that his face was livid. Having gazed a few moments at the heavens, the figure came up the steps with( the same silent tread and on reaching the porch turned toward Tweed and had taken one step when be seemed to the latter to be suddenly enveloped In a glare of white light Tweed, who was sitting np watching the apparition, gave a moan and fell back unconscious. That moan made a sudden change In the situation. Ethel Tweed ran oat of thehouse and. throwing her arms anoiit her rather. enaeaVored to bring him back to consciousness. "Father," she cried. "It isn't a ghost at all; Do spenk to me!" The ghost advanced to assist her, but she motioned him away, and he went into the house. Tweed opened his eyes and. seeing his daughter, gave a shudder, closed his eyes, opened them again and gasped: "Harry's dead! He's been hereT "No. father: he hasn't. It's a mis fake" An electric light in the roof of the porch was gleaming In the father's eyes He asked who turned it on. "I did." said his daughter, and. sitting beside him on the swinging bed. she told him that while he was away his friend's son had appeared with a note of introduction. Young Ashurst and Ethel had talked of their fathers' friendship and of the agreement that had been made years before. Being young and thoughtless. Ethel proposed that they should play a prank upon her father. The young man. who was a few years her senior, objected, but finally consented Taking advantage of Tweed's sleeping on the porcb. be had chalked his face, walked across the lawn in the moonlight, then up the steps. As soon as he stood on the porch Ethel, from within, turned on the electric light directly above him. Tweed had by this time become so con vinced that he saw nis friend's ghost that he failed to notice that the figure was illumined by the lamp. The next day young Ashurst called upon his father's friend, who. had not his own daughter been implicated In the prank played, might not have re ceived him as kindly as he did. The young man presented a sealed letter from his father Twped read it. but made no comment. He Invited Ashurst to make him a visit which was pro longed indefinitely. He said that his father-had married in Australia, but had gone from there to England and after a short stay had taken his family to South America, where he had be come a coffee-planter In the interior of Brazil. When his son concluded to go north to tmlv .t profession he had urged the boy to see his old friend. In time young Ashurst asked Tweed for his daughter, saying that he hoped for his own father's consent to the match "No fejir of that." replied Tweed He asked for my daughter for yon in the sorted letter he sent Rut he said notl'fmr tumt'the prank you played on me and. I take it. had no hand in it. Had yon not tieen your father's image when he wf venr age you conl J not have imposed u;n me as his ghost" PUBLIC SCHOOLS TOPIC FOR CLUB Thursday afternoon there will be a meeting of the Woman's club, at which it is desired there be a full attend ance, as matters of special import will be taken up.

It takes five different aged whiskies to make Cyrus, Noble each one good in itself. But it takes blend ing and re-ageing to bring out the best in each to "round-out" the flavor.
