Aneot the oonferaioa of tchooi
twtcher Scott, at McMiormlle, th
othef day it Ukee a whole lot of
moral courage to utanJ up and con
fee a wrong, and reeolve to do bet

wetknee, it denote moral brarerj
The majority will coodemo young
Soott Those who are loudest in
their condemnation of young Scott
aa a hypocrite, would probably be
the last persons to confess they ev
er did anything wrong, out of
church or in one. Let him who is
without fault heave the first dor-
nick. There may hare been men
in Scott's church men who were
present, and judged him who eas
ily could hare pleaded guilty to
business hypocrisy, and it may be
worse things than playing basebal
on Sunday. But they probably
lacked the grit to acknowledge their
faults. It is easy to criticise and
judge our neighbor, but a little
charity bestowed at the right time
is said to cover a multitude of Bins
Humanity, as it is now constitut

much in the limelight, with a brick

Yamhill has a walnut club, com
paced of the leading men of the
county, and It is doing effective
work. Yamhill now stands at the
head in the number of acres plant
ed to walnuts, and the varieties are
the best known. Washington coun
ty should organize a walnut club,
and plant more nut trees. There
la big money in walnut orchards
in the Willamette valley, and the
culture of that tree is no longer an
experiment. All conditions favor
its successful growth in Oregon
Within a few years, this state will
lead California in the production of
fine, marketable walnuts. Let

club.
The Portland & Salem electric
line managers now say they wil
extend that line to Hillsboro at
once. With a prospect of two elec
trie lines for Hillsboro, this winter.
things ought to keep moving in
this part of the county. Hillsboro
certainly has bright prospects. Of
the two prospective roads, it is al
most certain to get ons. If two
should come, so much ths better.
Governor Chamberlain says be
will not call an extra session of the
legislature, and that ends the mat
ter. The one thing to do now, is
to get used to the holidays.
The Tramp by tht Roadside
I bear the swell of music coining, softly
xnraugn ine windows 01 a cottage, bow
er-laid.
And the strains stir is me old-time
mem'riea
Mem'ries of the days, when as a child, I
played.
I seem to see the home so loner forgotten
The home with low hung rafters, bare,
yet lit
By the flicker of the slow fire's burning
em Deis
Ah, met How well I now remember it
How sore my heart was at the world and
custom,
And outcast was my heart from scenes of
old;
And yet, that burst of music from that
cottage,
Set warm the blood but now so alow and
cold.
O'er many miles my weary feet have
traveled;
In many climes I've watched the seasons
K0,
But the sweetest touch my heart has ever
welcomed,
Was that music by the roadside, soft and
low.
It is not mine to have my vine and fig'
tree:
'Tis not mine to see my children 'round
me play
But if Fortune ever gives me these fond
pleasures,
I'll owe it to that music 'cross the way
-I.

The Benarditee of Jamaica.
There Is probably no other race lu
the world so enthusiastic over rvllgiou
and who enter so heartily Into Its
forma and ceremonies as the urKrova.
They seem to los all thought of their
turroundlnjrs and throw themselves
body sod soul Into their own peculiar
forms of worship.
In Jamaica there Is a Tery largo
religious sect called, after their leader.
Benanlltes. Four times a year the fol
lowers of Benard are baptized In the.
water of the river Moua. Hundreds
of these religious enthusiasts meet on
the banks of the river before day
break, and as many as GOO have been
dipped In a single morning. The price
of a dipping Is a shilling, so that at
the rate of GOO a quarter the Income
to the leader and his church Is a tidy
little sum.
After the baptism the freshly cleans
ed and purified of sin form a line, and
with gold embroidered banners and
liken streamers wavlug above the
long line of men and women they
march, singing, to the church, which Is
situated a short distance back from the
river. Hundreds of these negroes
make up the long swaying and wind
ing procession, which sings as it moves
and eventually enters the church doors
or distributes Itself outside near win
dows and doom. New Tork Herald.
Origin of "Hoodlum."
'Hoodlum," America's equivalent of
the English word "hooligan," was coin
ed at San Francisco very early In the
seventies, but did not become general
ly popular In the United States until
about 1877, by which time all certainty
as to its origin was lost. One version
la that the leader of the San Francisco
"larrikin push" was a man named
Muldoon, whoBe name a newspaper
writer Ingeniously reversed to christen
bla gang "noodlums," and a composi
tor's mistake of "h" for "n" did the
rest Another explanation Is that
"Huddle 'em:" was the San Francisco
rowdlea' cry when tbe police appeared,
and a third alludes to a curious fez or
hood" worn by an eccentric character
which the young rowdies adopted as
their uniform.

How to Speak Correctly.
Say the alphabet aloud, and when
you have finished ask yourself If every
letter would be perfectly distinct and
Intelligible to any one who might be
listening. Here lies tbe fuudamental
principle of all speaking. Every ele
ment of every spoken word should m
distinct and latelllglble. In repeating
the alphabet each letter ought to inuke
a perfect escape from the lips of the
speaker. Does It make such an escape
when you say it? Do you send It out
vigorously? Watch yourself as you
apeak each letter and see what hap
pens to It. If It gives you the sense of
hanging about your lips, or if It does
not seem absolutely to separate ltxelf
from you, or If It drops Into your throat,
say It again and will It to go boldly
out Try to tbluk of It as being out
side yourself as a thing ayart. When
you succeed In thinking of it In this
way, If you don't care for words or
If you have never thought aljout them,
you will have taken the flrist step to
ward the mastery of good speech. To
peak well you must love words and
their elements. You must love Individ
ual letters. Harper's Bazar.
Frankness.
"I believe In being absolutely frank
with everybody," said the aggressive
man.
"Well," answered the peaceable cltl-
sen, "I suppose that sort of thing Is
largely a matter of temperament. If
I were a good a band In a fight as
you are, maybe I'd be that way too."

Smokers like the Scbiller and the
Excelleucia. These cigars are of
the beat stock. You can't fool an
authority on a good cigar.
