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." ..
The Junction.
"Now, Thomas," asked the teacher
of a small pupil, "can you tell me what
a junction is?"
"Sure I can. A Junction is a place
where a railroad pets a divorce from
itself "-New York Globe.

dredge, all of this city.
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. The following
brothers are living: Dan Greenwalt,
of Reno, Nev., and George Greenwalt,
a state senator and chairman of the
last house in the Nebraska legislature.
He lives at Broken Bow. Neb'. 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.

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."

Ghost

BACKBONE.
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.

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"

It takes five different aged
whiskies to make Cyrus,
