THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MABSHFIELP, OREGON, SUNDAY OCTOBER 27. 1907. Mn mmmrn HERE IS J. J. Th Myers Store North Bend, Oregon HILL'S Ik - r ",J ucc jngalls Said Opportunity Knocks but Once; Hill Says HIS LIFE PROVES IT Itnihvny Magnate Fought Ills Way Upward From fumble Surroundings. When Jolm I). Ingalls wrote "Op portunity" lie limited the call of for tune to one tliiic-y-"tho hour of fate." James J. llilli so-called master of a thousand human destinies, scatters the call of opportunity through life ns long as there is energy and saga city. One, the poet and idealist, and the other, the builder of railroad and developer of the country, and abovo nil the practical man, are In direct conflict. Hill's Life Story. James J. Hill's life story of a tre mendous and winning fight for for tune through achievements and op portunity beiran In the Canadian hamlet of Itockwood, on the Littlo Speed river, where ho was born 69 years ago. His parents were poor Irish emmigrants and lived In a log cabin on the Toronto high road. In this remote place the futuro railroad magnate conned his first lessons as a barefooted school boy. At 12, when his father died, young Jim went to work In Passmore's vil lage storo and studied nights. This enabled him, for four years, when there was a big opportunity for an "experienced shipping clerk" In the offices of the Dubuque & St. Paul Packet Line, to say truthfully "thnt he had been a clerk over four years," and get the Job. Having got the Job, he made good In It. Nine years later, when he was only 27 years old, he was In business for himself as a commission steamboat and railway agent, and represented the St. Paul & Pacific. From that time to now the newspapers have kept tract of him and he stands to day on a pedestal built of a thous and successes. What "success" means to James J. Hill he here' tells the Sunday Pot Hlll he here tells in the Sunday Coos way. The sum of his precept and example Is: OIU'OKTrXITY Master of human destinies am I! . Fame, love and fortune on my footsteps wait. Cities and fields I walk; I penetrate Deserts and fields remote, and passing by Hovel and mart and palace, soon or late, I knock unbidden once at every gate. If sleeping, wake; If feasting, rise Before I turn away. It is the hour of fate. And they who follow me reach every state Mortals desire, and conquer every foe Save death; but those who doubt or hesitate, Seek mo In vain and uselessly Implore I answer not, and I return no more. JOHN INGALLS. OPPORTUNITY. "Many opportunities come to every man. It depends upon him- self, and upon what he shall make of himself, and what he makes of opportunities and what they will make of him. A good aim, dill- gence In learning every detail of your business, honest, hard work and determination to succeed, win out every time unless crossed by some exceptional accident or misfortune." JAMES J. HILL. Opportunity meaning suoccsj, I scattered everywhere for thoae who have the sngacltj and energy to grasp It. BY JAMES J. IIITjTi, President of the Grent Northern Huil- rond. I have always lived the life of a Hay Times In his brief and pointed I mean to drop business ca 'ea en tirely In the evening and to unite work, rest and recreation In reason able proportions. I am fond of both such education as tho best schools other of life for both children and parents. It gives happiness to one and forms the character of the other. All after life is upon the home life; from it the first and best and most lasting education Is drawn. The boy or girl who is taught there to be obedient and affectionate and con siderate of others, to look forward to making the best of use of what ever opportunity may bring, and who receives, after leaving the home, hunting and fishing and spend u Bhort vacation each summer on a salmon river in Labrador "Tho working days and working hours aro those in which there is necessary work to bo done, whatever time that may require. Spr.ro hours are well spent upon the stndv of history, literature and art. What ever any able mind of urea', genius has given for th(J Instruction or em ployment of the world is woith while. Ample and accurate infornia tino is the first stop toward suoces for everyone; and the world of his toric fact, with the bearings of each upon the probable future of eai-n human effort, It Is now so large that a man will find all his leisure too little for his desire to equip hlmsplf with knowledge. In hooks and pic tures, as In practical things, only the best are worthy any one's time and attention. "Home the Anchor of Life." "Tho home is the center and an- and universities have to offer, has all the preparation for after life that It is his to give, and one that should not often fall. This is a method many centuries old, hut I do not know that it has ever been improved upon. "The best advice to a young man,' ni it anppars to me, is old and sim ple. Get knowledge and understand ing. Determine to make the most possible of yourself by doing to the best of your power such useful work as comes your way. There are no receipts for success in life. A good aim, diligence in learning every de tail of your business, honest, hard work and a determination to suc ceed, win out every time, unless crossed by some exceptional accident or misfortune. "Many opportunities come to every man. It depends upon himself, and upon what he shall make of opportu nities and what they will make of him." DENIES NEW TRIAL FOR RICH WOMAN Dakota Justice Utiles Against Slayer of Servant Girl. Yankton, S. D., Oct. 25. After studying various documents submit ted to him to show why Mrs. Emma Kaufman of Sioux Falls should bo given another trial before a Jury, Judge J. E. Smith today overruled the motion for a new trial. Tho case will at once be appealed to the su preme court and every effort will bo made to save Mrs. Kaufman from a long penitentiary term for killing her maid servant, Agnes Polrels. Mrs. Kaufman Is the wife of a rich Sioux Falls brewer. Though she had plenty of money, she never associated with other women of means, did not care for reading, and was called a "strange woman." In 1905 her husband, Moses Kauf man, told friends that his wife need ed a girl for housework. Agnes Pol rels, 16 years old, the daughter of an Austrian Immigrant, "was rec enmmended. Six months lator she was taken to a hospital from tho Kaufman residence and died a month lator. The post-mortem showed six wounds on the head of thevgirl, one finger was missing and there were bruises all over the ooay. It was proved at the trial of Mrs. Kaufman that she had repeatedly beaten tho girl, and death was at tributed to this treatment. sscssessssi Get Your Sunday Dinner at Delicatessen i iCssgssfiiSrs 2nd and C Streets Phene 561 Special for Saturday and Sunday.

Gillette, formerly vice-president of the Mutual Life Insurance company, who was yesterday convicted of per jury and remanded to tho tombs, was denied ball in the supreme court today, pending a motion of appeal. During the betwixt and between days, while plans for the winter's wardrobe are being carried out, one has a chance to wear the Juanty taylor mado suit which during tho summer was sometnlng of a burden In weight. Glancing casually around on a morning's shopping tour gray silts seem to predominate, yet each wearer tries out some scheme where by her own suit mpy not seem alto gether like that of her closest friend. All shades of gray seem similar un til Judged at cl03e range, ond theln- ..tr.11.iA niionir nr nmnii mmu iuueio rpecisely like a pepper and salt mix ture until placed side by side. So it rests with the wearer 01 una mv.. color to "dress up" ner ujiijcaiu..w by a nobby hat. a bright colored tie, a smart little belt, or a fluffy neck ruff to gain individuality. In these days, when bright colors aro so predominant in hats, it is not surprising that gray suits are so ex- J.JLl.r nnnlllntv AlmOSt D.TIY OUQT shade suitable for street wear adapts 1..1, -n,uiir n tha irrnv buil. rui Instance, Miss Agnes Booth was no ticed one day last week wearing a gray suit of invisible plaid, topped by a stunning hat of sapphire blue silk. It was more than becoming of her fair coloring, and an added bit of brightness was lent by two crpshed American beauty roses which held several dark bluo feathers in place. The hat was a largo one, with a high round crown, and was slightly rolled back in front to show tho pompadour. a semi-box cut, and trlflo longoi; In front than In back, while the skirt was of trotting length and kilted. It wnH Hin lint whfnh rrnvn tha tniinh nf individuality, although an immacu lately white linen collar and Jabot added greatly to the general effect. Mrs. Orvll Babcock was another shopper who wore a gray suit, hers being or pepper ana salt,, a Kiuea skirt and tight fitting Jacket which reached below the hips. To give it a touch of smartness Mrs. Bab- cock wore a round hat -"lth a small brim which rolled hack from the face and was set well off tho pom padour, and which was trimmed with a white coque feather which foil irrnp.nfnllv over the crown. This hat was tightly veiled with black chiffon, pinned at the nape of the neck and again on tho hat brim, but through which Mrs. Babcock'a large pearl earrings could easily be seen, Heavy white kid gloves stitch ed with black added a complete touch to tho costume Ladle: 9 Tailored Stats "I tell you, if some of the Coos Bay stores, they would certainly appreciate the merit, more," Remarked one of our store inclined to think that the goods th what she can get at home, "I never did Portland last week, and tried to do some sh select from, of course," she went on, "but sive, nor the values one bit better than wha the styles are no prettier, and the prices women would make a trip to the city Myers Store, and especially its suit depart .patrons, who was heretofore somewhat at she gets away are better than fully appreciate this store until I was in opping there, There is a larger stock to the assortments are no more comprehen- i we can get right here at home, Then too are decidedly no lower," This statement was made last week by one of North Bend's prominent women, who had just returned from Portland, We sometime wish that more of the fair sex of this vicinity could get a glimpse of the city stores, their values, styles and prices We know it would add materially to our benefit for no one can go away and return, and conscientiously claim the styles in the city are more up-to-date and better and the prices lower than what we are offering, There is no Portland nor San Francisco store that has better facilities than we to get the strictly up-to-date wearables for women, Our fall and winter coats and suits were not made up until fully six to eight weeks after the famous Parisian Horse show, at which time the pace is set for all fall and winter styles. s So, again we ask you to keep your money at home, It helps you it helps us to help you, If we could not give you as good deal as the city stores we would not ask for your patronagt, Pr$45,00to 1 $15.00 And coats begin at $5,00 and graduaices of suits range from $45,00 to.J45t(Q -A.
