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.

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.

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.

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. He promises that
everything served will be of the best
quality and as It is kept, prepared
and served in full view you are as
sured of Its cleanliness. All the
modern conveniences of a metropoli
tan kitchen have been Installed in
cluding, grill, gas stoves, large dinner
range and everything up to the min
ute and will be served the same way.
The "O. K." which Is located on
"A". street, "Just around the corner"
and opposite the Flanagan & Bennett
bank, will be open for business Mon
day morning at 6 o'clock. Drop In
Monday Just to test good cooking
and good service.
