To get the means of living. This Is the philos ophy of life which many people prac tice, even if they do not preach it, and through its influence existence is reduced to a dull grind, from which oven death seems like a wel come and deslrablo escape. When college prpfessors are asked to tell us why wo ought to study the dead lan guages they reply that many of our Ideals in art and religion have come down from tho Greeks, and that we cannot understand modern life with out studying the language of the na tion which did so much to make mod ern life what It is. Truly wo have taken much from tho Greeks. Whether tho study of their language makes ub more or less grateful for our obligations may be questioned, but tho obligations them selves aro Indubitable. One ideal which tho Greeks had, however, wo have missed. To them tho great end and aim of human lifo was beauty and happiness. To us beauty is a thing of little consequence, and hap piness Is trivial if it is not sinful. Tho old Greek thought of his city as a placo where human beings might lead healthier and happier lives. Whatovor Interfered with this end tio removed. Whatever contributed to it ho builded up, no matter at what expense of time, money and labor. Noble men were tho highest aim of tho city and tho state. We, on tho 'other .hand, think of tho city as a placo for making money, and what ever interferes with that aim wo re move. Wo think i worth whllo to sacrifice human comfort and happi ness to tho ideal of profit. Tho Greeks thought no money profit worth comparing with strong bodies and blitho hearts. It is interesting to sco how the dif ferent ideals havo been worked out in practice. Tho old cities woro clean, beautiful and spacious; ours aro sor did and ugly. Tho nnclents had to depend upon slaves for their menial tasks, whilo wo havo machines; but upon tho whole, thcro was more lels uro for all men in Greeco than there is in America. Our machines havo not niado things easier for tho com7 won man, though they havo increased tho relativo wealth of tho million-j "Tho aire.

I llvo in two worlds, one In which I must consider the weather and clothes and meals and bills coming due and a host of duties nnd obligations, some of which weary me. It isn't really a bad world, and I haven't much ground to complain of It. It is comparatively a poor world, however, when net ngalnst that other world Into which I retire with every opportunity the glorious, free nnd perfect world of my imagina tion. Tho common world, the world of meals nnd clothes nnd weather, I share with everybody. No preference or spe cial consideration is given to me. I often get a kick or a cuff that I de spise, oven though I know that I earn ed it. Dut the other world is nil my own. I am Its creator, king and mas tor. Nothing happens in it that does not please me; nothing exists without my consent. It revolves around me: I am its suu and center; nil else is sub ordinate. There Is no order, system or law In it that gives me the slightest trouble, for I niter, change or abolish these at my pleasure. Of course I es cape whenever I can from the common everyday world in which I am so In significant into tho world which is wholly my own. Orlando J. Smith. :i!iL LilitbUil ttfin man (Continued from page 1.) An Unwolccmo Guest. About this season of tho year A little perm comes snooplns round, Not blKcer than a pauper's hoiird, But able quite to hold Its Rround. Tho huiiRhty. husky son of toll It meets and gets him on tho hip; It gnaws Into tho Inner man, And then a fellow ha3 tho grip. Ho may be walking down tho street. Without a caro upon his mind. When, uttering no warning shout, Tho llttlo germ comes up behind. He docs not know ho Is attacked, Because tho foxy germ 13 sly. But when ho opens up his mouth It goes lnsldo to multiply. Next morning as ho starts to rise Ho gets a sort of wiroless hint That something's wrong in I1I3 lnsldo And sayB soma things not fit to print. Ills head seemi mado of solid lead; He has tho toothacho In his bones, And as ho tries to Umbor up The neighborhood can hear his groans. It dallies with him through the day; It doesn't kill him on tho spot, But sort of burns him at the stako To add heart Interest to tho plot. A boiler works Is In his head; His body feels tho driver's whip; Hla bones are broken on tho wheel. And then ho knows ho has the gvlp. ntumint:unnnn::;mn: $1.45 Per Sack There was an adjourned session In tho Poet's Corner at the Milllcoma Club on tho evening of the smoker. "That leap year poetry about tho girl who proposed was somewhat putres cent," remarked "Billy" Ford, who is given to largo sized English. "I think it went something like this: 'Cut dad said yes, Ho sort o' thunk Ho liked a gal What had some spunk." real reason probably was KEJ'UBMCAX COUNTY 'WON. CONVEX "You see ho thought Sho had somo scads, But their address, Is samo as Dad's. " Then Dr. Ilaydon chimed In: "But dnd's pleased with Tho chanco ho took Sho's teaching mother How to cook." Hero Ivy Coudron, who is always practical, cut In with it Poor mother stood Just ono day Now sho and dad Havo moved away W. It. Haines ndded his thought to tho offect that "But still to dad Thoy send their duns, So he's locked up His other sons." Tho Ilopubllcan electors or Coos county, stnto of Oregon, aro advised that n Republican county convention will bo hold in tho court house, Co qtiillo City, at 10 o'clock n. m. Tues day, March 24, 10HS, for tho follow ing purposes: To yorpetuato party organization; to dlocus sand recom mend Republican candidates for county and stato olllces.

But they seek to avoid equity pio cnedings, and ask Congress to give them what they do not have a clear title. He objected to any legislation which would in any way change the status of these purchasers before the law; they aro not entitled to special relief. If, after the grant is forfeited, Con- ress should deem it advisable, lt could, by a special act, extend relief! to purchasers who are other than ' pure speculators, who aro expending good money in developing their land. Pica of Lumbermen. Following Mr. Townsend, Arthur Hill, of Saginaw, a heavy stock-hold-c in tho Booth-Kelly Lumber Co., addressed tho committee In favor of the "Innocent purchasers" amend ment. His company, he said bought in good faith and not for speculation. Ho quoted Attorney-General Bona parte as saying that purchasers had no equities and therefore declared they must bo protected by an amond ment to tho resolution or enter into litigation, which, he said, would last fully ten years. He frankly admitted on cross-questioning that what his company wanted was a clear title to Its 70,000 acres bought contrary to law. Oregon's Growth Retarded. in concluding tho hearing the committee listened to a brief argu ment from Representative Hawley, who has been following the matter closely from tho first. Mr. Hawley contradicted tho statement of the lumbermen that the remaining land, If opened, would not bo suitable- for settlement. He knew of his own knowledge of thousands of acres now held by tho railroad which Is the very best kind of farming or orchard land, and he declared that thousands of applications had been made for this land by intending settlers since 1902, all of whom were refused the right to buy. Ho explained how Ore gon's development had been serious ly retarded by this and other land grants. Danger in Amendment. Mr. Hawley impressed on the com- mitteo the importance of rendering tho Attorney-General every possible assistance in his suit against tho rail road company. Should the railroad company in any way bo released from Its obligation It would bo In un questioned possession of over 2,000, 000 acres of tho best remaining land in Oregon, worth $35,000,000, and no powor under heaven could compel It to soil. Whllo ho said ho would like to seo Oregon's Industries pro tected and while ho wanted nothing nioro than absolute justice done to all parties, ho wanted full jusfice and ho did not want tho railroad comp any released from its clear obllga tion.
