CORVALLIS, OR., MARCH 29,' 1889.
PEN0IL1NGS.
A "crazy" sociable -was given in a certain
ball in Orvallis last Saturday night
was not there, I am crazy enough without
going to such a sociable to get more of it.
1 had an occasion to happen along in front
f the hall after the persons present began
to wend their ways homeward, and as one
after another came out. I noticed that this
social had been properly named, not allud'
ing to the people, (for no more intelligent
etass of beings ever trod the earth), but to
the idea that came to mv mind like the
following:
There were some W. R, C.'s,
Some O. A. K 's, and O. N. G.'s.
Some Y. W. C. T. U.'g, and A. F. & A.
Ms,
And a number of I O. Q. T.'s;
the I. O. O. F.'s. and A. O. U. W.'g,
Some A. L. S.'s, and K. of P.'b;
- (And alarg-e number of W. C. T. U.'s.)
This sociable question calls to my memory
that one day last week I was told that the
ladies of a church in this city were going to
giro a chicken-pie social. That strikes me
just right and also below .the belt. If
there is anything in Oregon that I really
"love" it is chicken-pie; I never consider it
a foul play to eat half of one, but I do hate
to do the carving act For instance, to
plunge a carving knife into crust and sud
denly strike a drum-stick, or a wish-bone,
or something else, causes emotions to come
over one that he has never felt before. I
' am not very chicken-hearted, bnt I would
always rather be excused, from performing
this duty. -
There are some people in this werld. who
never notice that there is anything very in.
telligent about the prattle of little folks.
Well, sometimes there isn't, but too often
do the small folks utter expressions which
would be a credit to any adult brain. Not
long ago I was visiting at the home of one
of my friends, whose fireside is blessed with
some children. One of the number, aged
alwut seven years, was sitting on her
mother's lap, and being questioned as to
her relations. After being asked how many
Bisters and brothers she had the mother
said: ' ...
"How many papas have you!" -
"Two, mamma!" replied the child.
" '0h, no!" said the mother. .
"Ain't there papa and grand-papa; and,
oh yes, I have three) Jesus is the other
one," was her answer. : ,
It was hard for me to suppress a laugh
on hearing this, yet I felt that the last
words were only too true, and that there
were few individuals in this land who had
ever thought that way before. It showed
the manner in which the child was being
trained tip in life. -
Lately I overhead a conversation by , two
gentlemen who were talking of renting some
rooms. One said to the other that he knew
of a very desirable "sweet" of rooms that
could be secured. ; ; I was completely dumb
founded at this remark, and wond ered why
they were so called ' sweet' I : hunted ' np
the word in Webster's unabridged . and
found, that it was the French way of pro
- linnrtrtinfy "aiiiKk " Vnur talrinjv frVi In t.liinv
iuto consideration. I think it would be
proper to call the Corvallia candy factory
a "sweet" of rooms, and instead of call
ing a girl's fellow her "suitor" why not
say he is her "sweeter?" It , might make
her feel sour, "though. ;
I was one that comprised the audience to
listen to Prof. M. V. Rork's lecture on the
"Law of Life," on Tuesday evening last.
I know, that there were ; a number in ' the
ball who did not "reliih" the plain out
spoken words of the lecturer, yet they can
not deny bnt that they are true; his refer
ence to the piece about the California legis
lature can be applied to the late Oregon ses
sion of that body we have plenty of "boss
Buckleys" right here in this great state and
count-, they exhibit themselves at every
primary every convention, and every elec
tion, and everything else. As to "plainness'
of the way the Prof, spoke I, for one, like
to hear it, it does me good; it is a relief
from 1 he flowery words generally used . by
lecturers that are heavenly to hear and re
quire you to hunt up an unabridged in order
to understand in what way the words have
been applied. It may make some of the
fair ones', cheeks turn crimson. and the
male sex to grin and bring up bad thoughts,
but then it always hits the nail in the prop
er place. As a temperance lecturer Mr.
Rork is above the average, - be didn't send
you crazy with a lot of untruthful statistics,
clear up into the millions, he . doesn't let
the axe drop half way and then check it, he
brings it clear down. If a saloon keeper
sends your child to the penitentiary don't
think that he must suffer for it; you are the
one who helps this keeper to do such a
thing, because you fail to do yonr duty in
pot seeing that what laws you have are
rigidly enforced. ' -" Eight here in Corvallis
there are numerous instances every day
of violation of the city laws,.- in other re
spects besides the saloons, and yet they go
by unnoticed simply because no complaint
is entered against . such. - How then can
things be otherwise?; You must" begin at
home in, this matter of temperance, I think.
Make yonr homes more attractive there's
where the secret lies. Too many of you
imagine that all are . alike. Because yon
. have no desire for card-playing is thai any
reason why every member of yonr house
should look upon caids as worse than the
devil itself? .Ditto- any other .legitimate
amusement ' Yon scoff at the sight of yonr
daughter walking the street in company of
a bar-tender, or a professional gambler, bat

the harmless arausemcat -called dancing
in your own house that daughter is attrac
ted to the public ball where she comes in
contact with the very fellows" whomj you
consider not.respeotable enough to be ! with
her in a pleasure walk. Were yon to en
courage such - pleasures as card-playing,
dancing, and other inuocent games more
round yonr own firesides little would be
the desire for going to these public places
for such amusement: and these slums of
society seeing they could not be permitted
to enter in and participate ' in such would
gradually grow lew aud "far between. "

but then it is only a waste' of time- and
pencil shoving, I suppose. '. 1 - -. f ' :
