haa lain for precious minutes on a
germ-laden bunk at the Jail, receiving
homely first aid from the Jailer while
awaiting the arrival of an ambulance.
Man have died because the trained and
sterilized hand of a physlc'an did not

general hospitals two miles away from
tha center of the city and no other place

It
U Stands for Uprightness. Un
principled men win success. Swindlers

with public office " and acoundrela cun
ningly manage to keep out of th
clutches of the police. This demoral
ising puzxla is a fearful temptation be
fore which soma young men are not
strong enough to stand. This I true:
Great trusts may be sought by scoun
drels who sometimes find them, but
great trust never seek unprincipled
men and the service of upright men
are always sought, and they are not
found In shoals, but In clear springs.
Though a crooked age, yet men ar ask
ing: "I he honest?" Let a man get th
reputation for uprightness in his
dealings and he will be sought, while
the man who wants watching, no mat
ter what his other merits are, will
finally find that honest men will have
nothing to do with him. The world Is
always on the lookout for men who
will stand for the right, though the
heavens fall. Capital is not counted
by whst a man has, but by what he Is.
Character Is capital. Honor Is success.
Stained success Is failure.
lit,
C Stands 'for Concentration. "My
father." said a boy, bragging about his
parent, "can do almost anything; he is
a notary public, a druggist, a horse doc.
tor, he can pull teeth, he can mend
wagons and things, he can preach, be
can play . the fiddle and he Is a
Jackass at all trades." It does not pay
to know everything. Only sophomores
are omniscient. The best way to pre
vent a gun from scattering is to put in
a single shot. Better be a tenth-rats
something tban a first-rate nothing. An
old German proverb says: "To change
and to change for th better are two dif
ferent things." It is not the most bril
liant men, but the stickers who gener
ally achieve the highest success.
IV.
C stand for Courtesy. Good manners
can do more for a man than money or
Influence. ' Lord Chesterfield wrote to
bis son: "All your Greek can never ad
vance you. but your manner. If good,
may." Emerson aays: "Urve a boy dress
and accomplishments and you give him
the mastery of palace wherever he goes.
He ha not th trouble to earn or own
them, they solicit him to enter and pos
sess." The "I-don't-know ' and "I-don't-eare"
men generally stay where they
start. Show courtesy to others, not be
cause they are gentlemen, but because
you are one.
V. .
E stands for Energy. There is no
genius like the genius of energy. Genius
Is the talent for hard work. We are
bringing up In America gentlemen idlers
who are passing down the stream of life
at th expense of their fellow passen
gers. Alfred the Great, the Saxon King
of Britain, a paragon of attainment in
hla time th ninth century when asked
how he found time to accomplish so
much, answered: "I find time by never
losing It," This answer Is the secret of
success. To succeed you must be up
and doing. Millals said: "I work harder
than any plowman; my advice to .boys Is
'work.' " The old German inscription

of men as It la of the Iron in the key.

In the contest for place and power. The
business of the country, both large and
small. Is conducted today by men who
don't drink. You don't, as a rule, find
successful men lined up at the bars:
they are usually the fellows who either

creasingly difficult to find honest help.

Training of a Nurse.
Housekeeper.
Mary Minor Lewis' sympathies go
out toward the nurse. In an article,
"Th Trained Nurse and Her Training,"
she says: .
"Prom the day of my entrance- until
the end of my probation period I re
member little but the fatigue, the utter
and cruel exhaustlan at the end of each
day; the aching, blistered feet; the nag
glnar of those over me In authority; the
unceaalng rush of work that waa never
done. It seemed to me then In my Ig
norance that much of this was unneces
sary, and th hours inhumanly long.
Now, with my wider experience, I am
sura of It. Too much attention la given
to non-essentials; for. In my opinion,
and in the estimation of many wise
physicians, a young woman win make
an admirable nurse without having
first perfected herself In the arts of
the mald-of-all-work. Th training is
so severe that many a strong constitu
tion Is permanently undermined, and
the statistics show that the active life
of a trained nurse averages only seven
years.

MARSH FIELD, Or., June S. Gaso
line boats as a means of transpor
tation probably are used more ex
tensively on Coos Bay than in any other
community on the Pacific Coast. So
general haa become the. use of this type
of boat that the place has coma to be
known as the Venice of Oregon. The
gasoline launches are the freight and
passenger carriers of the whole com
munity, serve the same purpose as
streetcars, are used by the ranchers for
delivery of milk and produce and fur
nish great sport for the lovers of speed
boats.
The public and privately owned boats
on Coos Bay and the tributary rivers
and inlets number about 250, and range
In size from small open boats to
launches 0 feet long-. The power of
the gasoline boats Is from two-horse
power up to 50. Some of the smaller
boats are open, some are large cabin
boata and others are speed boats with
hoods. In fact, most every style of boat
Is used.
Type Is Distinct.
The pattern of the usual launches.
however, is rather different from those
In other harbors and boatmen say that
they can, tell a Coos Bay gasoline launch
any place that they may see It. Some
are designed to travel the shallow riv
ers and others are built to cross out
over the bar and most of them are In
tended to combine various purposes.
Probably half a million dollars 1 in
vested In the gasoline launches on Coos
Bay. and practically all of tnem were
built in this locality. Th white, or
Port Orford cedar, of Coos County,
which is so valuable In marine work,
enters largely Into the construction of
these little boats.
In Marshfield the Timmerman and
Holland shipyards make an exclusive
business of building- gasoline launches.
There are several other builders and
many owners have "built their own
boats. Half a dozen machine shops on
th bay are kept busy doing repair
work.
Boats Give Employment.
Aside from the absolute necessity of
the gasoline boat in this locality. Its use
creates quite an Important industry for
the place and la responsible for the em
ployment of many men.
A dozen of the larger boats are sea
going, and are used for deep-sea fish
ing, while one or two make regular
trips to neighboring smaller ports. The
gasoline boat Is the only means of di
rect water connection with the Curry
County towns, and carries all of the
supplies to that part of the state.
The Coos Bay community could not
get along without the little white boats
that dart around on the bay at all
times of day and night. Many of the
best ranches are located on the rivers
While '
and are only reached by water.
mnnv of the ranchers own their own
boats, every river has its regular
freight and passenger service, giving as
many advantages as if the farms were
located on an electric lnterurban line
and doing away with the Iiad road prob.
lem in Winter time. Milk and produce
Is carried from the rancher's door and
th boat brings back bis needs from the
cities.
Passenger boats run between Marsh-

field and North Bend on schedule the
same as streetcars, a gasoline ferry
maintained by the county, gives the
only connection between Marshfield and
the city of Eastside, and dozens of
boats are prepared at all times of day
and' night for charter.
During the Summer, Sunday picnics
to the beach and river resorfi bring
Into use all of the available boats and
furnish one of the chief amusements
for the people of the cities. On Sundays
they are loaded down wltn cniiaren,
Sunday school classes and families car
rying: their lunch baskets to the attrac
tive points. Wedding parties use the
gasoline boats and they are also
brought Into use at funerals in cases of
deaths in the river districts, un Satur
days the waterfront of Marshfield Is
lined for several blocks with the
launches from the different rivers and
are laden with produce taken to and
from the ranches. The freight consists
of everything, from a package of sugar
to livestock for the butcher.
The boats are also used extensively
In the logging operations on the bay
and are the chief asset of the salmon
and deep-sea fishermen.
Sportsmen Employ Craft.
In out of door sports the gasoline
craft play a very Important part. They
are a necessity in reaching all of the
hunting and fishing grounds, and dozens
of people living In the city own boats
merely for the pleasure of running
them. Among these are some fast ones.
The Coos Bay Motor Boal Club of
North Bend is made up of a large mem.
bershlp of boat owners, who have a
handsome houseboat for a club bead
quarters. Last year the club held a
regatta and another is being planned
for this year. Arrangements have been
made by the members for a series of
cruises this Summer to different points
of interest.
Dr. Bartle, of North Bend, who Is
president of the club, owns one of the
handsomest gasoline cruisers on the
bay. Dr. J. T. McCormao, president of
the Marshfield Chamber of Commerce,
owns the Dixie, one of the largest pri
vate cruisers and a launch of seago-ins-
Dualities. A. H. Powers and his
son. Fred Powers, of tha Smith-Powers
LneeMncr Company, own the two fast
est speed boats on the bay. They have
been entered in races, but throughout
the year they use their fast boats to
visit the logging camps operated by
the company, and which are located on
the waterways.
Coos Bay's mosquito fleet Is one of
the most conspicuous features of the
place and one of the most useful. With
out the gasoline boat Coos Bay would

have to come to a standstill, and busi
ness could not be transacted. Even af
ter the locality has a railroad and
streetcars the gasoline boat will always
have its place on Coos Bay.
Are Yon Money Mad?
United States Senator Taylor, of Ten
nessee. There is a money madness that has
swept over us, consuming everything In
its cyclonic path. It Is the gold today
that lures millions from their homes in
the fields, in the hills and hollows, to
great cities, where they try to scale
dream ladders that break beneath them.
The American people are like a nation
of swine rooting up the trees and flow
ers In an eternal search for gold and
the big hog with the diamond in his
snout is our symbol of greatness and
success. A millionaire today is ranked
above Goldsmith, and the gold of a multi
millionaire represents more to our
minds than the greatness of Shakepeare.
Gold Is the power that is riding today
rough-shod over love, law, and liberty;
killing romance and destroying a love
for. better things. The lust for gold lias
killed other nations. Is it net possible
that we too are approaching the time
when by digging for gold we will dig our
own graves? Gold is in everything in
the church, society, politics; all. I verily
believe that Jf the American people went
to heaven they would dig up the golden
streets of the new Jerusalem and levy
a tariff on the harps of the angels to
protect American industries.
How Often to Feed a Puppy.
Until a puppy is four months old It
should be fed four times a day; after
that, three times a day until the com
pletion of Its growth, which varies
with different breeds. A young and
growing animal should never be al
lowed to overeat, as it invariably will
do if the periods between meals are so
long that the animal is reduced to a
state of ravenous hunger before every
meal. The heartiest meal of the day,
which should consist in part of meat
in some form, should be given at night.
Different Kinds of Bids.
Llppincott's.
"Yes," said the specialist, as he stood
at the bedside of the miser millionaire,
"I can cure you."
"But what will It cost?" came feebly
from the lips of the sick man.
The specialist made a swift mental
calculation. "Ninety-five dollars," was
his .answer. '
"Can't you shade your figure a lit
tle," wailed the other. "The undertak
er's bid Is much less."
