1 THE'HOOD RIVER NEWS WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 1912 10 Be a Thinker and a Gentleman Success Will Be Your Reward By CHARLES F. THWING, President of Western Reserve University if jm f ' v"1 ' WILDS OF ENGLAND. 9 by J. E. Purdy. CO become a successful man DE A THINKER. At the same time BE A .GENTLEMAN, using your thinking qualities for the benefit of yourself and for tho good of your fellow man. The one great way of making yourself a thinker is to THINK. Thinking is a practical art. It cannot be taught It is learned by doing. Yet there are some subjects in the course which seem to be better fitted than others to teach you this art. CONCENTRATION IN THE THINKER. CLEARNESS, COMPREHEN SIVENESS. COMPLEXEDNESS. CONSECUTIVEN ESS, CONTINUITY THESE ARE THE SIX BIG C'S WHICH ARE MARKS OF THE SUBJECTS WHICH TEND TO CREATE THE THINKER. Of course you are and of course you will be a gentleman. In the creation of the gentleman as well as of the thinker the PERSONAL EQUATION COUNTS. In fact, it counts more in the making of tbe gentleman, for in this making truth i3 less important than the PERSONALITY. As a gentleman YOU WELL BE A FRIEND AND WELL HAVE FRIENDS. In this relation of friendship in its earlier stages there is no part of life in which it is more important for you to exer cise the virtue and grace of reserve. o: m (mm mmMm ii i -V i BY .-frK&S!'. 1 mm .;Vt I-J I F.ETRIGG aXTRAL fCOUS RIVER VALLEY OREGON CCftRKPONDfNCC aoucaia IThla matter nuit not be reprinted with out ipeclal permission.)

If you can "lay to" with all your might with a good stretcher without pulling op tbe end posts you have doue your work like a man. In business life, covering many vo cations, promotion usually comes to the one who at any Riven time Is doing a little more rather than a little less than be U paid for doing. It Is a truth It Is well for tbe young man and woman to remember. Some experiments which have U-en conducted by the Missouri station with milk cows during the few weeks immediately following calving show that cows that are fat at calving time give richer milk In the Interval follow lng than do cows that are thin and richer than they themselves will give after three or four weeks Ity an Id terestlng process the fat on their bod les Is reatsorled and converted Into butter fat io the pall. Tbe weather bas been pretty dry down In Texas of late, anil the people have been adopting somewhat extreme measures to secure the desired pre clpltatlon. Tbe residents of Pan Ad gelo raised J3.000 as a raiD fund, and 3,000 pounds of dynamite were ex ploded.

When the running gear of chickens or little pigs gets out of whack It Is pretty good evidence that the ration belDg fed them is not right-that they are getting too much fat former, like corn, and not enough Ixme former, like oats, bran and ollmeal.

Devonshire's Rolling Slopes Are a Wilderness In Winter. The western quarter of Kngland baa a set of literary iiKsoclatlons second to no other district, not eveu the fur fumed lakes of Cumberland and West" nioreland. Tbe "Qulller Couch conn try," which Is Cornwall; the "lilac more country," which is North levon; the "Klngsley country," whl'h Is ull Devonshire, and the "Ilaidy country," which Is Dorset, will be founJ under rated rather than overrated lu beauty and Interest, which are greatly in creased by their associations win "Lorna Dooiie" or "Tesa of the d'Cr bervllles." The two great Devonshire towns Ex moor and Dartmoor are particular ly beautiful and offer a happy hunting ground to tbe artist. It seems strange that spaces of such wtldness exist within the restrained and highly cul tivated boundaries of southern Eng land. Tbe casual visitor would find It difficult to believe that on these splendid rolling slopes, purple with, heather In August, people go astray aud die of starvation every winter. No visitor to England can afford to miss a visit to Devonshire, which around May especially Is one of t lie most beautiful bits of country in Eu rope. Exchange. UNWRITTEN BOOKS. Thackeray and Conan Ooyl Both Found Themselves Forestalled. now strange are literary coinci dences occasionally Is Illustrated In the case of Thackeray and Dumas. Thacit eray says: "I came near writing a book od the same subject, 'Les Trols Mous quetaires,' and taking M. d'Artagnan for my hero. D'Artagnan was a real character of the ago of Louis XIV. and wrote his own memoirs. I rememler picking up a dingy copy of them on au old bookstall In London, price six pence, and intended to make some thing of It But Dumas got ahead of me. He snaps up everything." A coincidence quite as remarkable occurred with Sir Conan Doyle for cen tral figure. He learned while spending a holiday In a mountain inn In Swit zerland that during the winter months for some reason two men remained In occupation. For four or five months they were Isolated from the rest of the world. Suppose one of them went mad or committed suicide or - The possi bilities were endless. lie forthwith de termined to embody the Idea lu a story. On his way home he happened to pick up a book of tales by Maupassant There. In It under the title "L'Au berge," he found himself forestalled in every particular. An Old London Dining Club. An old London dining club, the Dilet tanti, was founded In 1733. This at one time was an extremely wealthy club, for, In addition to their subscrip tion, members had to pay a fine when any money was bequeathed them. In 17l0 the Dilettanti had 10.000 In hand. Soon after Its foundation Horace Wal pole wrote that "the qualification for the Dilettanti Is having been In Italy and the real one being drunk." It has grown respectable with years, but even now, when a new member is balloted, all the members have to make a com plete circuit of the dining table before placing the ball In tbe box. And a rule still survives that "every member who shall produce on the table a dish of tea or coffee must pay Into the gen eral fund a guinea for every such drink. London Spectator. St. Paul's, London. London's great downtown cathedral, between Fleet street and Cheapslde. stands like a huge rock fair amid the seas of traffic that wash up Ludgate bill from the Strand and on the east to the Hank of England; different from the Abley. which stands remote at Westminster. St Paul's was rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren after the great fire of l'VW. It is 610 feet long and 219 feet wide; took twenty teo years to build until tho time of open ing and thirteen years more for com pletion. St Paul's Is the tomb of many great men. Over the north door Is the Inscription, "I,cctor si mor.n mentum requlrls, elreumspice." "Head er, If you seek this monument, look about you." Willing to Be One.
