GBEAT MEN OB SMALL TIMES.
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.

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.
