MENTAL POVEItTY.
Recently u New York merchant who
was rich enough to retire killed him
self because the closing up of busi
ness left him nothing to do The man s
whole mind had been wrapped up in
the potty cares of his business, nnd
with these eliminated ho was like a
fish out of water. A little less greed
for wealth and more kindness of hu
man nature, with trust in other peo
ple, would have saved that hopeless
poverty of mind.
The uonnnl man makes money In
order to use it for a variety of noble
purposes. lie may be a man of fads
or a man of social and civic duties.
Even his fads may bo beneficial to
others, and they certainly give bim
something to live for. In China tho
man is trained throughout his career
to bo ready to retire at a certain age.
Tho event is no surprise, and he drops
naturally Into diversions which be has
found attractive. Every active man
should have side lines of Interest
growing up nbout him. Then relief
from business cares will come as a
pleasure, not as a calamity.
CHIMES PHAYEH HOOKS.
Organized society Is just now paying
unusual attention to tho work of an
tagonizing crime and aids to the de
velopment of criminal Impulse and In
stinct. We nil know how easy It Is to
see tho mote and overlook the beam.
Thcro is a beam, and n good sir.ed
growth it is, too, in the magazine and
novel stories which treat of crimes
nnd give minute directions as to crim
inal methods. When tho results of
crime are depleted In stories and the
Inevitable moral deduced therefiotn the
use of cilme to ghe point to a btory is
not objectionable. But the careful
working out of the method of a par
ticular crime merely to mnUe a novel
an lutcicsiing btory is to let loose a
Hood of moral poison. The miiid which
can find Intel est In such stuff la mor
bid. If joimg and wc.tk, it is certain
to Imbibe the poison and paj over all
the moral lesson implied.
Parents are careful to keep their
children from association witli the
children of vicious lamllles for tear of
the example that might be bet them
by such association. Hut the story is
also a companion, and the fact that it
is pi luted and finds a place on the fam
ily reading table gives It a certain
warrant In the eyes of youth. There
is enough curious and entertaining fic
tion which Is also harmless to keep all
the boys and girls amused every
leisure hour of their lives. The strug
gle of a boy or girl in honest endeavor
is tho most interesting subject ever
taken up by an author. Many years
ago tho prints wens filled with stories
of poor boys who made their way to
the top In New York, then the one
metropolis of tho western world. These
talcs were exciting and elevating.
Youth revels in stories of real boy
hood, ns of Lincoln and Webster, for
Instance. Therein is found inspiration
for toll and self denial. Hut tho print
ed biography of a successful criminal,
whether It treats of fact or fiction, Is
only a text book for surreptitious
schooling In crime.

"Doing anything backward nlwnys

"I hear, Miss Pink, that you wero
almost drowned last summer?"
"Yes, I had a imirnw escape,"
"Somebody lescue you?"
"No. It was the most provoklug

a man In s-lght, and I bad to swim

If Coos county votes dry It will
take some Murahflold people's breath
away.
A Boston scientist says that Mars
Is slowly drying up. Is Coos county
doing the same tiling?

A British medical Journal asserts
that lying is duo to indigestion. If

Why not buy sails and pi tut pota

When It Is Near Home.
Graft doesn't seem exactly wrong
To those who prollt by It.
They call It by another annio
Ami by that means deny It,
And they regard plain spoken men
As cruel nnd unfeeling
Who do not beat about tho bush,
But speak of It as stealing.
A little raltcoff on the slJo
Is not to them t matter
Tlmt calls for any loud remarks
Or eosslps' Idle chatter.
If any ono comes butting In,
They ask him to forget It.
They need tho money, and this seems
An easy way to got It.
Their salary Is small enough.
And padding comes In handy
To get tho things they need at homo
And buy the children candy.
And If their consclcnco ever pricks
They tell It to be quiet
Or they may have to get along
On a moro modest diet.
And then they see a host of men
By every ono respected
Whose wealth would never stand tho
test
If carefully Inspected,
And so their modest llttlo graft
Don't bother them a minute
In fact, they're only soro because
Thcro arc not millions In It.

Some people aie honest in spite of
themselves, and others are honest in
spite of the rascals.
When you are no better than yn:
have to be you aie uo better than .mi
should be.
There Is nobody more apt to mal-e
mistake than the cocksure man.
A self satisfied individual d
need any guardian angel, for lnn'.i
can reach him to barm him.
The callouses on the hands of s-i,
of our friends were undoubtedly tin
by the handles of their little hammer
When we aren't really ourselves tb
chances are that his satanic majesi;,
can throw more light upon who e
are than anybody else can.
When the really large things of life
show up no bigger than a bam sand
wich the chances nre that you are
hungry and don't see the sandwich.
There is no use in a quarrel, but
somo people seem to get a lot of fuu
out of it.
Everybody is always taking a good
sound whack at the fellow who is al
ways afraid of getting hurt.
Most of us are always willing to look
at the best side of an untoward thing,
but are too often unable to find it.
Sudden showers still remind us
That if we would not be caught
Unprepared, the rain should find us
With the umbrellas others bought.
Negative Pay.
"What are you doing for a living?"
"Dodging grip germs."
"But there is no salary connected
with that."
"Very true, but I save so much on
doctor bills that I don't need a salary."
Both Look Good.
"Are you interested in politics?"
"Very much."
"Which party do you want to see
win?"
"I wouldn't be presumptuous enough
to say ono deserves success more than
the other."
"1 thought you were Interested In
politics."
"I am. I mako campaign buttous."
