A Tonst to tho Men.
(Dedicated to tho Women)
Hero's to tho men. Slnco Adam's
time
They've always been tho same;
Whenever, anything goes wrong,
Tho woman Is to blame.
From early morn to late at night,
Tho men fault-finders are;
They blame us if they oversleep,
And that's what causes jar,
They blame us If, beneath tho bed,
Their collar buttons roll;
The blame us If tho fire Is out
Or If there Is no coal.
They blame us If they chance to get
While shaving, and they swear
That wo're'to blame If they decide
To go upon a tear.
Here's to tho men, the perfect men!
Who never are at fault;
They blames us If they chance to get
Tho pepper for tho salt.
They blame us if their business falls,
Or back a losing horse;
And whon It rains on holidays
Tho fault is ours, of course.
They blane us when they fall In love,
, .1 when they married get;
Likewise they blame us when they're
t
i 1 when they f 1 n debt.
For everything that crisscross goes
They say wo are to blame;
But, after all, here's to the mon,
Wo love them just the same!
A. FAIRONE.

buccoss. In character It reached tho

The recent Informal dedication by

Tho Club's Name.
There Is a little story told of old
Indian lore and in the selection of the
name "Mllllcoma" for the club, It
might be well to repeat- it after ac
cepting the great hospitality of the
club which shows how well the mem
bers have lived up to the meaning of
tho word.
Many, many years ago when this
beautiful Coos Bay country was only
Inhabited by the primitive redman,
there was a famous Indian chief who
owned the hunting grounds, situated
on what is now called the North Fork
of Coos River, or Mllllcoma river;
his name was Mllllcoma, and in the
seasons for the great games that
were held, his camp was preferred
for these meeting by all the chiefs
and warriors of tho various tribes, as
his hospitality knew no bounds; hls
wigwam was open to all true and fair
minded chiefs or warclors of tho
neighboring tribes, as well as to
strangers that might come to his
hunting grounds. In fact his hospi
tality became a phrase that was
passed down from generation to gen
eration, as MUlicoms hospitality,
meaning tho greatest.
The members of the Mllllcoma
Club, a part of the successors in pos
session of this great Coos Bay coun
try, wish to perpetuate the name of
the noble Indian chief and more par
ticularly his great characteristics,
and in the organization of tho club,
have Incorporated hospitality as a
slogan, opening Its doors to the chiefs
of our present day, professional and
and business men, as well as the
strangers that may visit this great
country.
In Conclusion.
In every way the dedication was
one of the notable events in the an
nals of Coos Bay. Every member of
the Mllllcoma club and every citizen
o'n the Bay has cause to be proud
of lUBt night's brilliant success. The
club members are all entitled to
share in the honors of the evening,
but especially the house committee,
of which E. K. Jonea is chairman,
which labored to eealouily and who
had charge of the decorating, are
entitled to thanks.

Mrs. Hamlin's Detailed Story Touch
es Judgo and Jury in Tender
Spot.
WATERBURY, Conn., Jan. 11.
Alleging that her husband had been
in the habit of taking her on his
knees upside down and subjecting
her to punishment that Is generally
associated with a small boy and a
slipper, Mrs. Rachel A. Hamlin had
no trouble in obtaining a divorce in
tho superior court. Between sobs
Mrs. Hamlin told Justice Curtis of
the spanks. More than half the alle
gations in her complaint refer to her
husband's hand exercise and her
smarts.
According to her testimony,
spanking was her husband's regular
business; ho never missed a day's
work at it. She says his sole diver
sion was drinking. When she re
fused him money to slake his thirst,
he spanked her. She put up with his
treatment for a long while in the
bopo that he would stop spanking or
drinking, but she toys ho did neither.
When he attempted to chastise her
before others, she decided it was
time to appeal to the courts.
Mrs. Hamlin told her story with a
vividness of detail which caused both
judge and jury to shift uneasily as if
her tale brought back recollections
of their boyhood.
