Address All Communications to COOS RAY DAILY TIMES Mnrslifleld ..... Oregon STAND BY YOUR TOWN. Every Coos Baylte who goes forth Into the States adjoining Oregon, north, east and south, returns with the same story as to Coos Bay. The Tend of the tale is, that this section Is holding its own admirably with every place of like size and character on the coast; that there is just a bit more activity here than anywhere else; that we have less to complain about than any other town, and that things generally hereabout are equal ly as good, if not a shade better, than most of the towns these errant Coos Bayites have visited. It is the talk of men who judge things as they pass, and not the brag of partial home people. It all goes to show that we should stand by Coos Bay. She is of the best, as far as she goes; and is forg jng ahead all the time. There is more money here, according to these travelers, than most places enjoy, and more Industrial activity; and even if the year be dull, as all presi dential years are, this yields no pre dicate for knocking the place. We are doing all our present financial string will permit; the future is as bright as it ever was; we have no great communal burdens, no distinct and retarding impediments; we are simply not -doing as much business as we would like to do; that is about all there is to Coos Bay's real plaint. Stand by the town and have a good -word for it ever on the end of your tongue and pen. It pays. Get to gether solidly and soundly and move en masse, for the new things that are to come; bring them in; don't wait 'for them to bo brought, or sent, in; stand by, and nothing will get past you or the town either! SUMMER VAGABONDS. In the English language are few words which fall as .euphoniously upon tho ear and arouse with greater surety the primal instinct in man during this seventh month of the year than the common noun, "vaga "hond." With its soft, languorous vowels, its loose articulation, the word carries, in suggestion, an eplt- sweat to tho music of harmonious industry; the remaining fortnight is his, to squander as he sees fit. For eleven months he has circled his fixed orbit. The routine has begun to pall; he is beginning to lose. Interest, and it is noticed that his pace is slacken ing. He Is now entitled to travel the purposeless tangent of absolute re laxation for a period. There are few men who are unable to take a short vacation in the sum mer and get away from the grind. There is none who cannot afford a change of atmosphere. Those who have been moving In the shackles of civilization for many months, should shake themselves free and become vagabonds again. Duty is an imperi ous thing; but, also, it is essential for men to throw away their burdens occasionally and create the illusion that Eden is once more open to the public. Work Is good; but, too, one must play. Become one of the irres ponsibles for a time. Wander, tran sltorlally, from tho familiar haunts. Seek a fresh viewpoint. Fortunate Is the man who lives on Coos Bay and to whom a trip in a stuffy Pullman coach to an overcrowd ed summer resort Is unnecessary; for he has nothing to prevent his tak ing a launch or to the road, afoot. A blanket, a haversack, a pair of stoat' shoes, and a congenial friend are the total accessories of an Ideal vacation. Any road in th!s"favored section leads to some Ideal spot,' and" wlro cares where? To wander without imme diate or ultimate destination along traveled ways for a week or two weeks, at the beck of no man, con stitutes the entire scheme of vaga bondage. And the summer is at hand. t WITH THE X TOAST AND TEA X'i GOOD EVENING. V1AAAAA X' Our business in lifo is not to i-i X get ahead of other people, but X H to get ahead of ourselves.

X y BABCOCK. X xs$$$$s$$$$$e$$$$$$$o A CAREFUL MAX. It Is time someone gives up an ap preciative word for the conduct of Dan Matthews, the diffident gentle man of Missouri who, on four sepa rate and noteworthy occasions has been routed by his better judgment at the altar and driven panic strick en into a hiding place which no one has yet had the perspicacity to dis cover. Dan Is a man of the utmost dis cretion, and while he admits that he is deeply in love and would be mar ried above all other things, he feels that it would be unwise to let his ardent feelings of tenderness towards the young woman In question run away with his prudence. He has a very old-fashioned Idea that matri mony is not a condition to be entered Into lightly and without due cir cumspection, for, as he says, his Is a nature which will remain faithful until the last, even when love ceases to burn. A contract of this kind, he insists, is something to be negotiated soberly and with full understanding that It must endure for life. Now, it is understood' Dan Is con vinced that search the world as far as he might, he could never find an other girl, who, to him, seemed so amply qualified to bear his name and preside over his domestic affairs. (So thoroughly Is he certain of this ! that he has proposed to this same J woman on four times, and as often I has balked in the presence of the preacher, leaving with haste for parts where he might reason In solitude with his troubled heart. If you know what the nightingale says to the rose, If you've guessed at the rose's re ply; If you know what the breeze has to say as It blows Through the trees, ere he passes them by; If you've fathomed tho speech of the streamlet that flows, And the lore of the katydid's cry Xt you know what the wild waves are telling the beach, What the thunder proclaims to the night; If you've studied the lesson the sun shine can teach, And the moon's mystic talo of de light; If you've learned what the swallows cry out, each to each. As they wheel in bewildering flight If you've heard in the woods, ere the wild flowers ope, The song of the fairy and elf; If you've heard fell enchantresses whisper the hope Of power and pleasure and pelf Well, you're grabbed off a lot of this poetic dope I could never get wise to, myself! ANON. One reason why some Coos Bay men can't hold their breath is be cause it is too strong. A young man wants to know whether he should marry a sensible girl or a beautiful girl. When he falls in love h won't stop to ask fool questions. t Tinners & Metal Workers - DIRECTORY I Of Coos Bay Manufacturing and Wholesale Houses : : : Tho wny to build a city Is to 'stand together.

HAS KITCHEN IN A PLATE GLASS WINDOW The man who will patent a baby hat wants to sleep while other peo ple are sleeping, will confer a great favor on Innumerable drowsy fathers who need rest. A Coos county cheese factory is a great place to look for news. Some thing has a curd there every day for many years. It's a whey that cheese factories have. Aq pninnnrflil tvtMi ntlior Iwirao. ome of a great, living pastoral song' , ,. , .. , ;.,... . . . . . i sionable youths who marry their I wives without giving a thought to their own merit, or the likelihood of a song that tells of brooks bend ing aimless courses through shaded valleys, of dusty highways that have no beginnings and no objectives, of painted windmills and drowsy hired men and the perfume ot orchards, of twittering birds and humming bees, of peaceable wayfarers, and of loaf ing. To tho legal mind the noun Im plies something contemptible a shiftless, slothful, parasitical fellow, gross, stupid, besotted, a criminal, more than likely, and a menace to industry. The old English statutes define vagabonds as "such as wake on the night and sleep on the day and hunt customable taverns and alehouses, and routs about; and no man wot from whence they came or whither they go." This is an ample description of the American vagrant of today who robs railroads and hen -coops when unrestrained, and breaks rock In captivity. But all of us are not offensively analytical. We visualize our words carelessly, leaving the pundits to fix their cramping spheres of meaning. In the summer time, when the sun streams warm and kindly upon tho fields, and the world Is astir with life, tho word "vagabond" tnkes on a broader, much prettier significance. For seasonable purposes, and as nn amendment to tho English definition, it would bo better to say that vaga bonds nre nomndlc idlers; "and no man wot from whence they come or whither they go." Now, if nature's primitive arrange ments aro honestly recognized, every man is beholden to himself In the oxtent of becoming a vagabond nt regular nnd brief interludes during tho course of his existence. their brides' developing unlovely qualities with age, Dan Matthews is an owlish gentleman; and those who speak unkindly or facetiously of him havo yet much to learn about men. If all the world was like Dan the divorce mill would not grind from one year's end to the other. Dan is not a reckless man, as the brlde-to-bo whom ho has deserted four times at tho church door will attest, and if it should ever bo that he finally is a husband, he will be Just as cau tious about asking for a decree, no matter what his grounds. If that girl desires a husband who will be steady and faithful all his life, Dan Is tho man for her. But she doubt lessly knows this; otherwise, why would she have given him four chances to run away. "No girl's face Is in it with a re touched photograph," says an ex change. All right, mister; you take the retouched photograph and give me the girl's face. A member of the MlUlcoma Club who claims to know says: "You would be surprised at the number of wives In this town who have trouble getting their husbands up for breakfast." Some fellow who will Invent a con densed sort of sleep that will enable a man to take eight hours of It in twenty minutes before breakfast, will make a fortune and accommodate a lot of sleepy Individuals.

"I can't cook moat," she said, "but I can make lovely angel cake." "How nice!" he gallantly replied, "and we'll live In one of my air castles." Marshfleld's Latest Restaurant Is An Innovation in the Most Modern Methods. The "O. K. Chop House" is the name of the latest and neatest addi tion to the restaurants of Marshfield. It is not great in size but it makes up in neatness, elegance, quality and originality what it does not possess in bigness. It is unique too inas much as the kitchen is in a plate glass window in full view of the street and the cooking is all done in view of the patrons. E. C. Anderson, the well-known chef, is proprietor. He has a reputation as one of the best cooks on Coos Bay and the "O. K." will add to this reputation. He has confidence in the future of the city and has moved his family here from Portland.
