48 THE SUNDAY OHEGOXIAX, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 8, 1905. To a Young Man Ambitious for Leadership Ambition to excel and to be a leader Is surely a characteristic of a superior nature as the love of analysis is a characteristic of superior Intellect. Once more politics is becoming an honorable profession. It is tlie simple man with, dimple tastes and lore of plain Ullage, with teachable spirit, and reverence for the common life, the common duties and the common people who wins the affection of the multitude. Happy, indeed, that youth of whom today it may be said that the heart of II the people is turned toward him in his leadership. No matter tvhal other gifts the youth has. there are no honors for a coward. Timidity la the outer revela tion of an inner 'weakness. Text "And the heart of all Israel "was turned toward him." I Kings. JUST now a wave of ambition for popu lar leadership seems to bo sweeping over the young men of our country. Every village has one or two candidates for office and honors, while in the city the number of these aspirants is legion. This new enthusiasm for leadership promises immeasurable good for the Re public. Gone is the old aversion to poli tics. "Our most gifted young men have ceased to speak of It with disgust, as If a politician and a criminal were synony mous terms. For ambition to excel and to be a leador is as sjurely a characteris tic of a suporior nature as the love of analysis is a characteristic of the suporior intellect, or the passion for color and form a sign of the artistic temperament Doubtless the reason for this new onthuslasm for leadership Is found in the unique preeminence of Pres ident Roosevelt. Jus now the President's name is lifted up and he is easily the foremost citizen of the world. Indeed, liis name lends distinction today to every American who appears on the streets of London and Paris, Berlin and "Vienna. 2Cot otherwise have the work and achieve ments and high fame of Governor Folk exerted ,a profound influence upon the very best young men of the Middle "West "What pre-eminence also has come to Mr. Jerome, with his courage, his zeal for Justice, his determination to right the people's wrongs! In Pennsylvania young men have discovered that one popular leader making a bravo fight against cor ruption, like Mayor Weaver, receives hon ors after a six months' campaign that were denied to certain boodllng Senators and Congressmen who held their positions through a score of years. Once more politics is becoming an honorable profes The- Making (Copyright, 1903, by Caspar S. Yost.) JLM Y Dear Boy. Your mother and I I I have Just returned from the wed " ding- in which you were, to us, the most interesting If not the most conspicuous figure. It was a'great wed-TJ "ding. Never saw anything quite so pretty in my, life. Everything: was in good taste, and you went through your part like a little roan. I was almost proud of you. Andthe bride! My boy, I believe you've discovered something that's better than a gold mine. Unless my judgment is mightily at fault, she's all right. Your mother is just as well pleased as I am, and that's saying a great deal for her, for she never could see any girl quite good enough for you. You know she doesn't hesitate to say whom she likes or dislikes, and she usually settles tho point on sight, so I was very uneasy, as no doubt you were, about the way Mrs. John, Jr., would strike her. But she took to her new daughtor-ln-law like a duck to an orphan chick, and I attach more im portance to that than I do to my own judgment Why, she's so tickled that she persists in waking me up in the middle of the night Just to have an au dience while she disposes of a stock of adjectives that would astonish a Frenchman. You little know, my boy, how much she has missed you since you went out to wrestle with fortune pn your own hook, and you can hardly appreciate what a concession It is for her to look with favor upon .this young woman who has taken possession of you. After awhile you will under stand, but not now. I suppose you are pretty well along with your honeymoon by this time, and, unless your lot is different from that of other mortals, you have made some discoveries. You have found, I don't doubt, that the wings you sup posed were full fledged, haven't "even sprouted. That is the amazing discov ery every newly married man makes, and the quicker he makes it and be comes reconciled, the better It is for his future welfare. Angels are all well enough in pic tures, but they would certainly grate on our nerves If we had to associate with them. Nor is perfection to be de sired in a genuine fiesh-and-ulood woman. This would be a mighty tire some world if all of us did exactly as we ought. It is mainly our faults and the faults of others that furnish us the diversion that makes life worth while. That isn't strictly orthodox, but it's true, and I believe it will continue to be true as Jong as humanity retains that Innate cussedness which domi nates it Don't infer, however, that I consider Imperfections and attractions to in crease in corresponding ratio. A little salt is necessary to make your food palatable, but a very little more will spoil it A faultless wife is likely to be Insipid, and good, healthy imper fections should rather be cause for re joicing than lament So, my boy. when you find one in your dear little bride, don't have a- conniption fit, but make a note of It, and when you get an op portunity analyze it tenderly. They may keep you pretty busy for awhile, but when you get them all classified you will have that Intimate acquaint ance which is absolutely essential to domestic happiness. A lone while ago somebody said, "Man. know thyself!" and I would paraphrase that, and, I believe, improve it by saying, "Man, know thy wife!" It's much more im portant On tho other hand. It Is Just as necessary that the wife Tcnow the husband, but I don't care to discuss that side of the question. I don't feel competent You may wonder that I don't sug gest a study of your wife's virtues. Lord bless you, my boy, you don't need to study them. They will fall upon you and envelop you and permeato you, and allyou have to do is to appreciate them ami give frequent evidence of your, appreciation. Virtues seldom cause domestic trouble unless they are allowed to become aggressively active, and then as a rulo they cease to be vir Sermon by the Rev.

Happy Indeed that youth of whom today it may be salil that the heart of all the people is turned toward him in his leadership. Sincerity, Honesty and Popularity.. The heart of , the people of Israol . will go out toward no youth who Is not hon est, absolutely honest; sincere, flecklessly sincere. Of course the man who wantB to lead the people toward a' better era' in economics, politics "and municipal life" must have many gifts that here' and now are assumed. It is assumed that he has, health, . intellect, .Intellectual training,, a broad knowledge of men and events, per--sonal magnetism and the art of putting things. All these gifts are fundamental, and yet many a gifted young man pos sesses them who Is not, and never will be, a leader for the common people. , But. once a youth stands forth, crowned with honesty and 'sincerity, " the heart of the people begins to go out towards him.' Hon-' esty lifts a gifted man Into position,; just as a pedestal lifts .the statue into -preeminence. The Immeasurable popularity of Lincoln -began when a farmer-called him "honest pld Abe-f . It Is. not neces sary that the young leader should be lift-, ed above the possibility of a mistake in judgment. W.e have all known a Presi dent who has stood unflinchingly. by his. friends, even to the. point of upholding two or'threo who aro open to the sevores.t. criticism. But everybody knows that he was honest In his purpose, even if .mistak en in his facts. - The people will forgive' occasional error, but they will not for give insincerity, the play of double' mo-' tive, the practice of politics for personal ends, or. a hunger for office for reasons, of pride and self-aggrandlzcme.nt Speak-, ing of the popularity of Gladstone, Carly'le exclaims: "Eh.mon, what a conscience Gladstone has! There never was such a conscience as his. He bows down to it, and obeys it, as If It were the very voice of God himself." But that sincerity, unaf fected simplicity and unswerving honesty' lifted him up into the position of primacy and the heart of all 'England went out toward the man of oak and Iron. ' Courage and Popularity. Popular leadership asks for courage and fearlessness. No matter what other gifts the youth lias, there are no honors for a coward. Timidity is the outer revelation of an Inner weakness. The horo knows his reserves, and dares. Men who are really great gladly take risks. Once the youth is convicted of moral cowardice, his career is ended and bis hopes are blasted forever. Years ago I knew a cer tain gifted youth. He had presence, nat ural and acquired gifts; ho had voice, personal popularity; great fikill In handling of a Successful Husband tues. Just confine your attention to her faults, if these are little ones, be thnnkful and let them alone. If any should look to be serious, don't try to remove them with an ax. You are likely to sprain yor arm and dull the tool. Treat them with tact and pa tience and love, and m the course of time, perhaps a long time, you can so modify them that they will become un objectionable or even likeable. All this, however, prcsupposos some attention to your own failings, which are probably more numerous and more pronounced than hers, and In the case of a man there are more circumstances which call for the use of a met aphorical surgical Instrument If you don't wield it yourself, the little girl ought to, and if you need it she will, unless I am mistaken In my Judgment of her. But you can't treat a woman's faults In that way. Dictation, opposi tion, force, may get results, but It will be at the expense of happiness. You can't run a home as you would a fac tory.

Such an -one would not have cafed a copper whether ho was "elected or defeated; he would have stood f on his convictions, and tho heart of all Israel would have gone out toward hfm.- For weeks the common people have been scrutinizing certain ' public men. The common people have weighed them and the common people have found them wanting. For the common people know the difference between a politician who raises 'the wind to fill the silken sails of a corporation .pleasure yacht and a man who goes out to wage war against the enemies of the city and the republic. Modesty, Simplicity and Popular Leadership It Is the simple man with simple tastes and love of plain things, with teachable spirit and reverence for the common life, the common duties and the common peo ple who wins the affection of the multi tude.

It was this that transfigured his face with the glow of moral passion. It was this that made his pleas for the oppressed, the down-trodden, the -poor, to be "golden events In the an nals, of England. The plain, unvarnished fact Is that our Saxon people jre essen tially ethical, and that the basi of all our Institutions Is righteousness. In his ora tion, Daniel Webster said, "Christianlty Is a part of the comrcion Jaw of tho land." The man who can register In laws and in reform the ethical and spiritual ideals of the people will bo all but worshiped by them. McKInley never fused all the peo ple until the heart of all Israel went out toward him, save in tho hour when he struck the ono chord that was common to all, the ethical and religious chord. It Is not enough to be wise, to be witty, to be an orator, and scholar; the popular lead er who succeeds to the great, must bo essentially but unobtrusively religious. He must really have the spirit of Jesus Christ, and love the slave, tho poor, the weak, and lift a shield and sword abovo the oppressed.

It is a period of un restrained billing and cooing by the end of which they aro sunnosed tsn hav h- come satiated and return home to settleV down to a practical, everyday life in which love and Its outward manifesta tions are not expected to figure to any great extent I sincerely hope you will not take that view of it The honeymoon should not be subject to limitations of place or of time. As a mere outing It should be made brief; as a sentimental condition, modi fied by tho activities and necessities that demand bread and butter at regular and frequent Intervals, It should continue until death breaks tho bond. I have been married 30 years and am still In the midst of my honeymoon, and I hope to THE PHILIPPINES seo this moon in Its meridian for many years to come. You should never cease to be lovers. I can see no reason why the return to earth should cause an entire change of relations. Some people seem to think that the tender -little attentions which mark the period of courtship and that Immediately following the wedding are Incompatible with the struggle for a living; that the kiss, the caress, the lit tle compliments, 'are not only unnecessary but even foolish. If you desire happiness as nearly absolute as possible here be low, don't make that mistake. Love alone is not sufficient for a woman. She hun gers for Its outward and visible mani festation, and It is a hunger-that can never be fully appeased. A man can rest content In the confidence of his wife's affection, and doesn't worry if she neg lects to express it In words or actions. But she is of different fiber. She wants to hear you. say "I love you" once in a while, to feel your arm steal around her and your Hps pressed to hers. She never grows weary of these things, and sho never grofcs . top old to appreciate them. Their neglect Is the beginning of Indifference, and Indifference is love's deadliest foe. Without love marriage de generates first to a mere convenience and then to a condition of bondage in which Iron chains take the place of roses, chains which the-divorce courts are too. often called upon to. sever. If you do not give your wife frequent evidence of your af fection you will have . only yourself to blame if she turns to someone else for that wttich her nature demands. .No, you : cannot possibly attach too much Impor tance to these seemingly Insignificant things. They. -are the very foundations of domestic, happiness. You may provide a' comfortable homo and. every, material desire of her heart You may 'treat her with courtesy and kindness. You may give her hlcli social position, but If she loves you alr-these are as nothing .If un accompanied by the' purely sentimental expressions of your' own'.nffectlon for her. With visible love .she will live happily in tho humblest cottage Some people would smile "at this. Some would call it an old-fashioned Idea that has no -place In the advanced civilization of today. The mountains and the' hills, the lake? and the rivers, are old-fashioned, and they are no more Immutable than human nature, of which love Is the highest expression. In spite of all of our culture. ..men and women, under tho ve neer, are just the same as they were when Pan played his pipes in tho groves of Arcadia. We are as God made us, and while we may develop the brain we can't alter Its composition, nor can we eradicate he lovc-longlng from a wom an's heart So let her have all she wants. It doesn't cost anything, and. incidental ly. It will make a better man of you. I am writing all this now because I want to keep you from settling down in the alt-too-customary way after your re turn from your wedding trip. You will have to resume the chase after dollars, and you'll have to sprint a little faster than before, but that won't justify you In putting theMlttlo girl up on a shelf like a piece of valuable bric-a-brac, nor In shoving her back into the kitchen, to be come your cook. She Is neither a god dess to be worshiped from afar, nor a menial to be bossed at close range. She Is just a delightful bundle of flesh and blood -and nerves, designed for every day wear, and attaining her highest hap piness In loving and helping you. Do all you can, therefore, to keep that love light burning brightly, for if you are the right sort your own happiness will bo based upon hers. Love her always, and let her know, let her know, let her know that you love her. That Is the fatal mis take of so many keeping their love to themselves, as If It were something to be ashamed of. until continual suppression extinguishes It entirely. Exercise Is as necessary to love as It is to all attributes of life, physical, mental or spiritual. This Is not theory, but fact, which has been proven over and over again slnco the world began, and my own experience does not differ from that of countless thou sonds of others who bear testimony to Its truth.

Detecting Poison Mushrooms Simple Directions by Professor Albert R. Sweetzer, State Biologist, University of Oregon. d J WITH the Fall rains come the toad stools. Toadstools I said, and meant it, for we are to bear in mind that the words toadstool and mush room are used interchangeably, and the division Into toadstool and mushroom de pending on whether poisonous or edible Is not sustained by the dictionary or science. The fact Is that we are continually re- moving some from the ranks of those supposedly non-edlble and transferring them to the food-supplying class. So that we may speak of them all as toadstools or all as mushrooms, or make any assort ment we may wish. It makes little dif ference what we call them, but the Im portant question Is, May they or may they not be eaten? There Is no royal rule for determining this. The traditional ease of peeling or the failure to blacken a silver spoon, or the converse, proves nothing. We must simply learn to know a few unmistakable forms and confine ourselves carefully to these. Among the first to appear this year are the "Shaggy Manes" (Coprinus comatus). The cap Is covered with silky threads and usually has patches of brown. The. stem Is round, smooth and hollow, forming a pipe, and sometimes a definite ring is .found aroun4 the stem. This differs from most of the. toadstools. in that the cap is but slightly expanded, whereas the common form on ripening raises its cap like an open umbrella. When young the' flesh of this shaggy mane is white, vbut as it gets older It begins to darken, then turns black and finally drips away as an. ugly-looking black Ink,- tho cap disap pearing first. If gathered while still white, this is one of the finest and by many considered to be the finest of our mushrooms. It Is delicate in flavor and contains a considerable quantity of nitro genous food. It is found In river bottoms, in lawns and other localities that have been filled with sand. It is a rapid grower, appear ing where yesterday there wer appar ently no Indications of its presence. The whole plant mny be eaten, and possesses this advantage over the ma jority of toadstools that it Is seldom or never attacked by maggots, while very many, of the kinds which we are accus tomed to eat must be examined with the greatest care for the presence of parasites, this often being the case with the highly prized plnk-gilled field mushroom, known to all. Remove the soil from the -base of the stem, then wash and remove-the threads from the cap with tho blunt edge or the knife. They are" then' ready to be cooked in any of the ways the cookbooks describe or that one familiar to the fungus-eaters. The common toadstool of the pastures, so familiar to all. with Its pink gills, com monly called "the" muehroom. as if there were no other, the Agarlcus campostrls or field mushroom. Is soon due. If jt has not already appeared. Every one knows this, and feels perfectly safe in gathering It, and If gathered frsh it Is good eating. But one often sees them In the markets so old or broken that they are- far from attractive. And besides there ace other species which in the Judgment of many are to be preferred in point of delicacy of flavor and In freedom from parasites, and at the same time not a whit more difficult of determination. Such for in stance'are the Shaggy Mane mushrooms above described. A near relative of the field mush room Is found growing on the edge of woods and Is shown In the first figure, Agarlcus placomyces. When young the cap bends down sharply from the cen ter, which Is brown and the whole top is rough with brown shreds or scales. It Is pink, on the under side at first, but soon becomes dark brown. It Is ratqer tough and not as good as the field mushroom. In the second figure Is shown a kind of mushroom which usually occurs in abundance when found at all, and has been already gathered In considerable quantities this season. It Is found in plowed 'ground or In soil that has been worked somewhat recently. It has something the appearance of thq field mushroom and ac a distance deceives one Into thinking tbcc he has found tho campestrls. But the glll3 on the under side of the cap are perfeetly whlte and the whole plant has a more compact and brittle appearance. There Is .a ring on the stem and the base la more or less swollen, but never shows a cup. The top of the cup is white and smooth, though sometimes sllghtly cracked. It Is called tne smooth Le piota or Lepiota naucinoides. It has a firm brittle meat and our experience has shown it to be entirely free from parasites, at least until It is very olL It is delicious eating and may be prepared in many ways. The stem Is not as good and had better be dis carded. After thoroughly washing tho cap may be toasted for two or three minutes on a broiler over coals, first gill side down, then for two minutes gill sido up, a little p?pper and salt sprinkled In the hollow and all served on hot toast Another way is to roll a generous lump of butter in flour and melton fry ing pn or chafilng dish, then add the caps, cover and slmmor until tender. This produces a delicious brown gravy covering the toad-stools. This mush room adapts Itself to a,-y of the metu? ods of preparation of the cook books. Musnrooms not to be confused with anything else and accordingly excel lent for the beginners are tho p:ift balls. Those familiar objects of tfc field which .sond forth clouds of duut when trodden under foot. These are all-edible if gathered while still whro wlthirt -bafore' thoj- b---tjin- to char.g dolor, which is the first step in tl I production Of the reproductive bodh lenown as spores and which make the dust when fully ripe. These arc fcur.d In all sizes from the tiny balls of the pasture to the monsters of the shaJyj spots as large as-ones heaa or larger. They" are all edible and all very de licious. Some of them are covered! with a thick peel, -which should be re moved. They may. then be cut in slLcs.i dipped In egg and fried by them selves Qr with bncon. Or they may bej chopped, mixed with egg and made in jj an omelette, or served In a great! Variety of ways. Our list thus far includos the shagg" mane, which never spreads its ap xrAt disappears as black Ink; the rinks gilled meadow mushroom; the smoctr lepiota of cultivated ground, and the! puff-balls. All are safe and delicious eating and euslly recognized. This is the be:-t method of familiariz ing ourselves with the edible varieties by learning a few perfectly nnd stick ing to them, and In this way avoldlm danger. ALBERT R. SWEETZER.
