Newspaper Page TextTHE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD. OREGON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 198; ' lJ. TIMES RECEIVES ROM "Shady Side" Asks If Paper Believes Coos Bay Women Need Stimulants. "LIBERTY OR FREEDOM" DECLARES SHADY His Compatriot Vents Views By Submitting Excerpt From Shaw. Tho TlmeB is in receipt of two communications of mild protest, as the result of its Leap Year article published in last Saturday's issue. One, "The Bachelor's Defense", is an excerpt from one of Bernard Shaw's books. The Times presumes that tho sender felt the excerpt so fully ex plained his own, and possibly other bachelors, views and feelings on tho subject of marriage that an attempt to wield his own pen in the matter would be superfluous. The excerpt is worded in the brilliant, sparkling, opigramatic style whish distinguishes tho writings of this English genius; but the Times has a very persistent Idea that refuses dislodgement even by this strong ilood tide of argument to the contrary, that should Bernard Shaw, steepped though ho may be in pessimism, cynicism and skepticism toward conjugality, sail into Coos Bay during 1908 and becomo tho objective of any of its femininity ho might discover, when he had regained consciousness, that his finely drawn arraignment of love, matrimony, and woman in general had been "shot to pieces." Enter Bernard: . "The Huchelors' Defense." "Marriage is to me apostasy, pro fanation of the sanctuary of my soul, violation of my manhood, sale of my birthright, jmameful surrender, Ignominious capitulation, acceptance of defeat. I shall decay like a thing that has served Its purpose and is done with: I shall change from a man with a future to a man with a past; I shall see In tho greasy eyes of all the other husbands their re lief at tho arrival of a now prisoner to share their ignominy. Tho young men will scorn me as one who has sold out; to the young women I, who havo always been an enigma and a possibility, shall be merely some body elso's property nnd damages goods at that: a secondhand man at best." Bernard Shaw. "Shady SIdo's Side." "To tho TImo's Matchmaker, Sir You will little realho what consterna tion you have set afoot among tho eligible men on Coos Bay. Arc you so little versed in "affairs" that you candidly believe tho marriageable "Women of Coos Bay need your stimu lus to set them on tho hunt? Do you not know that, without your soli tude, wo men are continuously on guard against saying things which might bo construed as approaching a declaration! Mr. Matchmaker, tho women of Coos Bny, while they mny accept your assistance as their right, feel there is no call for aid. Ask nny marriageable woman, if you doubt this statement.

Sho would tell you thoro nro no ac ceptable men on Coos Bay; that all men nro allko, selfish, bombastic, crude, with no romauco or pootlc fancies and no convictions regarding tho duties and obligations of marrl ngo.

Whether the eruptions in Wall street have affected tho prosperity of sea gulls is not known but millions of tho hungry birds are reported off tho coast und they attack every thing in sight with ravenous rapa city. Their latest attempt at sus tenance is reported to havo been on tho last trip of the steamer Alliance to Portland when one of tho larger birds spotted Freight Clerk Al Courtenay and sought to abduct him as a leap year prize. The gull grab bed tho freight clerk's ear and then started to fly off with him. Its hold was not broken until nearly beatan to death. The strange story was related by several passengers who went up on tho last Alliance. They say the cold weather along tho coast must have made food 'scarce becauso the sea gulls would readily eat from the hand. It was after having been fed several pieces of meat that one bird nabbed the kind hearted tar by the lobe of the ear and tried to steal him away. Tho birds came in flocks of thous ands and at times fought fiercely for a roost In the rigging. Follow ing the steamer for miles told up on tho endurance of some of the birds and experience had taught the mthat they could just as well ride.

He Is 50, Weighs 230 nnd Hns Red Hair, But He Doesn't Like to Work nnd Is in the Way. ST. LOUIS, Mo. Feb., 5. Mrs. Sofrona Travis has become so in terested in the "Lonelies" club and so disinterestd in hr husband, Ca- sius, that she wants to give him up to some Miss Lonely. Sho has writ ten the following to the secretary of the club: I "Dear Miss Lonely: I see you want ' a husband. Now if you will call at No. GS16 Old Manchester road I have one I will give you. He is a large man, 2 30 pounds, height six feet, red hair and gray oyes. Yours respectfully, "MRS. C. M. TRAVIS." Cassius is a carpenter and when he works hard, according to his wife, he makes $5 a day. "No, It is not a Joke at all," said Mrs. Travis. "Cassius is a good man, and if he would work hard I could not want a better. But when ho does not work he is in the way. "He is 50 and I am 40, and I can support myself. Cassius said he liked the photograph of one of the girls in the club and I told him I was going to write her that she could have him. He thought it was a joke, but it is not. He knows I will look after him, and so he keeps on hanging around. Now, if some Miss Lonely were to infatuate him I could lose him easily enough. "I was married to him two years ago. My first husband got a divorce from me because he was suspicious of Cassius, who was boarding at our J house. In about two years Cassius will come Into a fortune of $S000. That Is probably the reason ho feel tired." Fresh home made candles at the Palm. A classified ad. Is AN INSTRU MENT OF SERVICE: perhaps the most Important one in modern lifo.
