AN ENGLISH writer In one of the recent monthlies discusses the lack, as hethtnfts, of great men at the present hour. His plaint is merely an echo of talk heard almost every day by those who read and think. It is said that we have now no Tennyson or Browning, no Thackeray or Dickens, no Carlyle or Gladstone, no Huxley or Darwin in England, and parallels in the literary and political fields could be found in America. He apparently under estimates the tremendous force of Theodore Roosevelt and his wonder ful work in influencing his genera tion. The idea of greatness express ed by this English writer, who is Mr. A. C. Benson, is that of a "slow mov ing, deliberate, self contained spirit advancing quietly on Its discerned path." Now, it is possible that the great man Is among us all the time and we do not know it. Not every think er and doer today falls in with the general tendency which Mr. Benson aptly calls "utterly false and hectic." Again, we may have many great men and yet few who are conspicuous. It has been said by students of Napo leon's time that he achieved great ness simply because his time was small that Is, his contemporaries and rivals were little men. Most historians say that at Waterloo Napo leon was at his worst, and so Well ington's renown comes from his hav ing defeated a cripple Instead of a master. To tower above the mass does not always imply true greatness Some critics insist that when Long fellow sprang to the front there was no one writing good English poetry The world was verse hungry, and his "Evangeline" was new and novel, ntiH fume followed. Our time is surely great in achievement, great in the promise of foundations laid, and some great minds must be doing it. One such, for Instance, the future es sayist may recognize in President Eliot of Harvard, a man who for a generation has been a vital force in the Intellectual life of the nation. Another thing is that there has been no really crucial period In na- tlnnnl nr international affairs that call for men of the type called great and whose Impress upon their age is for all time. It develops the ques tion whether tho times in which we live create tho men or men of really mighty Intellects and genius remould the people and period as a potter does his clay. SEND PAPERS EAST. Tho advice of Tom Richardson to the effect that people of every town should pay more attention to sending their local papers to friends In tho east is not at all new, but Is, never theless, of tho right kind. Wrappers already stamped and ready for addressing can bo bought at tho postofllco for 1 cent each, and If tho people of the city would enclose their papers In such wrappers after reading them and send them to friends In tho eastern states it would be ono of tho cheapest and most ef fective forms of advertising tho coun try that could bo designated. Advertising pays, always, and a littlo nttontion paid to it along tho lino suggested would do a vast amount of good. It would only re quire n littlo time, with an ox jenso too trifling to consider. Try it. A qopy of Satm day's Timos con taining tho prize essays on Coos Bay would bo woll worth mailing to your friends nftor you have read It. , r NOTICE.

A A THEODORE ROOSEVELT. tt&$tAs&'A&tAAAsKAAXAX Tho Piece Thnt Robert Spoke. Once there was a little boy, whose name was Robert Reece; And every Friday afternoon he had to speak a piece. So many poems thus he learned, that soon he had a store Of recitations in his head, and still kept learning more. And now this Is what happened: He was called upon one week, And totally forgot the piece he was about to speak His brain he cudgeled. Not a word remained within his head! , And so he spoke at random, and this is what he said: "My Beautiful, my Beautiful, who standest proudly by. It was the schooner 'Hesperus' the breaking waves dashed high! Why is this Forum crowded? What means this stir in Rome? Under a spreading chestnut there is no place like home. "When Freedom from her mountain height cried, Twinkle little star, Shoot If you must -this old gray head, King Henry of Navarre! Roll on, thou deep and dark blue castled crag of Drachenfels, My name is Norval, on the Gram pian Hills, ring out, wild bells! "If you're waking, call me early, to be or not to be, The curfew must not ring tonight! O, woodman, spare that tree. Charge, Chester, charge! On, Stan ley, on! And let who will be clever! The boy stood on the burning deck, but I go on forever!" CAROLYN WELLS. Did you ever go fishing on a warm day when the shade was good and a soft bank to He on and nothing to do but bait the hook and wait for a "bite?" The musical chirp of the cricket as It drops from a dead limb down the back of your shirt, and the twinkle of the garter snake's tall as It glides up your alabaster limbs together with the hoarse croak of the bull frog as he jumps Into your dinner pall. Oh! It Is joyous. When the trout yanks the line, and you yank the pole and a liver colored dog yanks your dinner out of the pail, and nothing is left between you and something to eat but a line fence and a bull with a bell on. Oh, Its nice.. And the merry twinkle in the eye of the wood tick and June bug as he hits you on the cheek with thirteen feet all at one time, and begins to bore a hole for a nest and the garter snake comes out of your collar and makes a grab at the June bug and gets' you by the nose, just ns you feel the bite of another trout. Oh' Its nice. If we had nothing else to do but fish we'd have a suit of armour made out of wire screen to ward off the snakes and bugs and just fish and fish forever. Just the thoughts of It has set our divine afflatus to working and no use of talking wo must finish up In poetry. Had I Jack Flanagan's million, And naught to do but wish, I'd hie me forth to some old lake And fish, and fish, and fish, And when I happened to get tired, Monkeying with tho fish I'd Ho down where the shade was good And wish, and wish, and wish. When doodle bugs crawled down my back, And ants crawled up my pants, I'd let them crawl and sweetly grin It would my joys enhance, 'TIs thero I'd Ho and let them work Just so I had my wish, Of not a thing on earth to do But fish, and fish, and fish. "Do you bolievo It is unlucky to got married on Friday?" Dr. Dlx asked Lawrence Liljcqvlst. "Certainly," Lawreuco "why should Friday bo an tion." Everybody is expected to replied, excop- marry onco, and thero Is not much talk whon you marry tho first timo, but pooplo look wlso whon you marry tho second time and roar when you mar ry tho third time. Any lover can act so woll that his lady lovo will frequently remark how good he is to her, but tho real hero Is the old fellow who has been mar ried 20 or 30 years, and whose wife is his greatest admirer. You seldom see a Coos Bay man so honest that he says to his wife, "Where did I leave my hat?" He usually says, "Where did you put my hat?" Every once In awhile you heir some one demand that the devil be given" his due. There is ono thinn about which there need be no worry the devil will always get his due. Whenever a man tells you some thing mean that he has heard about you, tell him something disagree able that you have heard about him. In case you do not happen to re member anything, invent something and give him a lesson that will do him good. NEW ENGINEERING FIRM. Stevens & Taylor Locate on Coos Bay Attracted by Its Bright Prospects. Believing that Coos Bay has a bril liant future, the firm of Stevens & Taylor, civil engineers and surveyors, have located here with offices in the Coos building. They come well recommended and we think that they will do well as this country has a great many im provements to be made. Mr. Stevens has had thirty years experience in the business and a large part of It in the west as he first came to the coast twenty-eight years ago when he was connected with the original surveys of the Northern Pacific. He has been also identified as Division Engineer with such roads as the New York Central lines, Chicago Burlington & Qulncy, and Florida East Coast and chief engineer of the Cairo & Tennessee River Railroad Company. He was also for several years county engineer of Kent Coun ty, Michigan find had large ex perience in municipal engineering. He resigned from a good position with the C. M.' & St. P. Ry. when about one month ago he examined and satisfied himself as to the re sources of Coos Bay. Mr. Taylor now has charge of the heaviest work on the C. M. & St. P. Ry In the Cascades, and cannot leave there until Its completion which will be In two or three months. He holds diplomas as both a civil and mining engineer from one of the best col leges, and has also had large experi ence having been five years with the Illinois Central as resident engineer and has been connected with copper mines in the Snohomish country in Washington also in Alaska. We wish them a long and success ful business career In their new home.
