SJ 'THINGS MUST PASS AWAY
The world teems with people who
3'm5 lo worn-out Ideas and antl
nateil forms. They refuse to climb
int Iho triumphal car of progress.
Me ilistrlcts of China ana northern
pXftjpnu n sharpened stick is still used
Mi plowing. Tlie Australian bush
amfita lixis not graduated from the use
hci lili boomerang. The pigmies of
J&Srlcsi eke out a miserable existence

KyiL A wide section of tho people
Sin. no of the strongest military na
S20II3 on the plan ,t still worship the
fM?n- Europe- clings with a death grip
throne sand sceptres, and only
jjflsJLtis when forced to, to constitu
tions and ballot rule. Premier
Wr&iico ro&lsted progress too vigor
oBly, and tho lives of tho king and
xtynn prince of Portugal were the
Jfttrlult
JJunmn nature is as much given
Mocking progress as to promoting
it. Every man with a message is at
at!! hooted at as arabblo agitator.
Half( or mankind would still insist
bl tlie world is flat but for the in
lrovertil)le pi oof to the contrary.
Tlifc unwillingness to accompany tho
v-c2d as It swings forward in its
ojawarrl sweep of progress is partly
3prJdice and partly self interest.
S&jine of us resist tho new method
lacraiifco It was not the one grandpa
Mkrd. or oppose the new idea because
St was not ours in boyhood. That
fc j "judice. it is a common orror
or tins aged. Others resist change
ttiwcijsh self Interest, notably the
.Aai.w3i.'an senate, resisting elections
tjjr iho people. Dack of tho senators

Tjfca: forward movement, from one rea
sraa .ur another, has been tho history

xxwtiativo and referendum is an im

eroeial science profess to see peril for

jiio'x, or tho bushman with his boom

regard tho risking of such
jreifronslblllties to tho rabblo people
as ii of peril to society. Tho
3rjes and scepters ot Europe- wo
a'Smeilil expect to tremblo at thought
ot ao sreat a confidence In tho com
jononi herd. Naturally, too, those who
Sroai ago and prejudices or solflsh
jbtterest, are linked to tho bigoted
siift dogmatic past, wo may expect
C be frightened at tho prospect of

With the Toast and Tea
A Valentine Dream
Today being St. Valentines day
there was a special meeting called
this morning in the Milllcoma Club.
Tho attendance was not large but
every ono present was required to
answer roll call with a poem, either
original or selected. Tho secretary's
roster showed tho following result at
the close o the meeting:
The Leap Year ltel'usnl.
"Tis very kind, Indeed, of you
To offer to become my wife;
To say you love me as you do
And wish to share my simple life.
But do not grieve at what I say,
Dear Maud, I really love another;
In anger do not go away
I will consent to be your brother.
I'm sorry, Maud, I really am,
That you have learned to love mo
so;
For me you should not care a darn;
For I never meant to be your beau.
Your husband, Maud, I cannot be,
My heart belongs to another;
I'm sorry you have proposed to me,
But I can only be your brother.
If you should ever want a friend,
I trust that you will send for me;
On mo you always may depend;
I'll come to. you, where'er I be,
Suroly there is some better man
Who'll gladly take you for his
wife;
So And him I am sure you can
I'll bo your brother all through
llfo.
GEO. GOODRUM.
A daring theft Jack wrought last
night
On dnrling little Hose.
He stole some things he wanted
right
Beneath her very nose.
BILL LAWLEIt.
'Tis hoped that if lair Rose
Returned the blissful smack,
Jack did not overlook a bit,
But turned and kissed her back.
CLAUDE NASBURG.
That may bo as thoy do the job
Down In tho Mnrshfield South
But If Jack resided In North Bend
He'd kiss her on tho mouth.
CHARLIE KEENE.
Why rouse again tho bitter strife
That two cities bhould wax hot,
Lot's all agree to compromise
Jack kissed her on tho spot.
BERT DIMMICK.
"On tho Spot?" what tommy rot!
.Tuck rose to tho sublime
Almost missed her then ho kissed
her
In tho good old summer timo.
ANSON ROGERS.
But why not toll tho talo entire
Of Jacky's escapade,
Of how dad let the bull dog loose
An' tho tracks that Jacky mado.
WILL KENNEDY.
Hello!
O, can you speak tho wrath ho feels,
as o'or uio phono his message
squeals,
And his tired list'nor tho' qulto near,
Shrieks, "Shako your phono up, I
can't hear!
I can not can not hear."
LOUIS R. ROBERTSON.
"Tiivogtlgntors toll us
Tis tha Httlo thlags that kill.
You'll Unci no deadly mlorobee
On a 11,000 bill.
RAY KAUFMAN.
Take Another Gaze!
Though dreary days may come
to
you,
And make life look all bum to you,
And hope of going some to you
May seem all past and gone.
Remember there are other days,
And other plays and other ways,
So, cheer up, take another gaze
You may see something further on.
E. W. KAMERRER.
Knock and the world knocks with
you,
Boost and you boost alone;
If you roast good and loud
You will find that the crowd
Has a hammer as big as your own.
THE EDITOR.
Get Busy.
"It costs to advertise,"
Some person says.
But what of that? This much Is flat;
It pays.
GEO. GOODRUM.
Not Fatal.
Shot through the heart was the
youth.
But there were no tears of sorrow;
He lives to tell the tale because
Tho wound was made by cupld's
arrow.
WALTER BUTLER.
She Couldn't Do That.
Sho bought a device to mix tho bread
and one to stir the cako
A flreless stove and a coffeo machine
and one to broil tho steak.
And Into her kitchen so up to date
it's a pleasure ludeed to look;
But tho family's boarding while she
seeks a machinist who can cook.
W. R. HAINES.
Adam never smoked a cigarette
Nor lighted match upon his panta
loons. Eve never rode In a gasoline launch
Nor whistled the latest rag time
tunes.
CHARLIE HOWARD.
Get off your roost
And help Coos Bay boost.
WALTER LYON.
He called her Lily, Pansy, Rose,
And all the other buds of spring.
She said: "I can't be all of thoso
So you must Lilac everything!"
A, II. DERBYSHIRE.
An Epitaph.
Beneath this stouo a button lies,
A trousers button bright;
'Tis all mo found of Miner Green.
Who thawed out dynamite.
PAT HENNESSY.
Llttlo Wlllio at tho table,
Just as hard as he was able,
Hit his matlior with a platter,
And remarked, "That swats tho mat
er." A WHISNANT.
Their Shyness.
They wore both too shy to marry;
Now perhaps you'd think that
funny;
But Loulso grew shy of Harry
When sho found him bhv of money.
JACK DAVIS.
The Lono Fisherman.
With bated breath, he played tho lino
As tho fish rnu out from shore. i
When It got oft, hr pMml the Jug
And baited bl brn,fc '"lie more.
CHARLIE LEE. I
I When I was n lad I served n term
As ofllco boy In n. druggist Arm.
When any near tho place grew 111
I gave 'em paregoric or a qUlnnlnG
pill.
McARTIIUR.
Tho Reward.
Toll on, young mnn, until some day
Success has crowned your patient
pluck.
A few staunch friends will say, "Hoo
ray!" But nioro will sigh, "A fool for
luck!"
ROY MERCER.
Poor fellow, you arc threatened with
disaster.
Sing, hey, the gallant fellow that
you are.
Tako liver pills nnd wear a poms
plaster1
Sing, hey, tho merry doctor and
tho tar.
FRANKLIN C. BIRCH.
Here is a tip to milliners
Who get up headgear togs;
If women must wear mushroom
hats . ...
Why not trim them with frogs?
JACK SULLIVAN.
The Social Moth.
There once was a woman named Jen
nio Who- bridge-whisked away her last
i pennle;
When forced to disposo
Of her fingers and toes
She remarked, "I 'shall uso my An
tennle." TOM JAMES.
Strange, Isn't Tt?
When you call a girl a kitten you
seem to hit it pat;
So why should you get the mitten
When you say she is a cat?
But you do.
Say that she's "a perfect vision," it
will fill her with delight,
But there'll be a big collision when
you say that she's a sight.
Ain't It so?
Just call a man a "sly old dog," and
he'll ask you In to sup.
Whey should it set his wrath agog to
say that he's a pup?
But It does.
JACK FLANAGAN.
I've tlnctue of tolu
And gum drops for Lulu
As sweet a girl as I could find.
If trouble should stir up,
I've great soothing syrup;
'Tis certain to quiet the mind,
I've squills of faco powder,
Beef tea and clam chowder,
And all that a drug store should
sell;
I've tooth paste and candy,
And things that come handy,
In case you're not feeling quite
well.
Buy of your Cut-'Em-Up Dear Little
Cut-'Em-Up
Doctors should never bo shy,
Buy of your Cut-'Em-Up
Come, of your Cut-'Em-Up buy.
FRANK PARSONS.
Ever Notice It?
When you buy a box of applns,
Nothing seems at all amiss
When the rosy cheeked top layer
Stacks up just about like this.
ooooooo 0900
But enthusiasm dwindles,
And you're glvon awful shocks
Whon tho apples stack up this way
Through the balance of tho box
OOOOOOOOOOO

Maud Muller on a summer day
Set a hen In a brand new way,
(Maud, you see, was a city girl,
Trying the rural llfo a whirl,)
Sho covered a box with tinsel gay,
Lined It snugly with new-mown hay,
Filled It nicely with eggs, and then
Started to look for a likely hen.
Out of the flock sho selected one,
And then she thought that her work
was done.
It would have been, but this stubborn
hen
Stood up and cackled "Ka-doot," and
then
Maud Muller came and in hurt sur-
prise
Looked coldly ino the creature's
eyes;
Then tied its legs to the box. "You
bet
I know how to muko you e.r.''
But still it stood, and soteu and
worse,
Shrieked forth its wrongs to the uni
verse, Kicked over the box wltU ! 1 gay,
And ignomluiously flopped jiwny.
Then a bad boy over tho barn, .'d
fonco
Teo-hecd: "Say, Maud, there's t '. '
forenco
'Twoon hen, you know, and 't 1
Ono says 'Ka-doot' au ona 'IJa-.: .
And over since that historic da
SUe blushes lu an yniliaw.i - i juy

when
Sho tried to sot a 'geutleuiaR hen.
