Do you develop your strength, in crease your reasoning power, your will power, your power of Initiative? Do you not only elevate yourself :and hold yourself up, but also have strength to help others? Are you a lifter? Or do you, like the senseless lob ster, remain high and dry on the -sand or among, the rocks, waiting for someone to carry you to sea, or for the sea to come to you, when by jyour own native energy you should ioldly plunge in and ride the wave triumphant? Do you, in considering every un dertaking, look hesitatingly to the right or left for some advice, some support, ome prop to lean on? It has been said that for every Belf-made man there are ten solf Tulned ones. It Is a safe guess that jilne of the ten are leaners. The ranks of mediocrity of the Jialf-successful are crowded with people of fine natural abilities who mover rise above Inferior station be cause they never act independently. 'They are afraid to take the initiative 3n .anything to depend upon their own judgment and resources and so flet opportunity after opportunity -pass them by. They make fine plans, tout leave them to bo carried out by others; and then their only consola tion is in saying: "I thought of it first." Half a hundred claim to have been the first to invent the railway air brake. Only one had the nerve to lnmnnstrate its nracticabillty. Thousands talked about an Atlan tic cable, until one came forward and laid it. He lost a big fortune by Mailing at first, but made a bigger one Tiy succeeding at last. In overy walk of life are earnest, (conscientious people who are disap pointed that they do not get on bet ter and who wax eloquent over the injustice that confines them to In ferior grades, while others with no ftnore naturnl ability are constantly advanced over their heads. Analyze 'these peoplo and you find their real trouble lies in their lack of lndopend- ont- action. They dare not make the .slightest move without help or advice trom some outside source. They lack confklonce in themselves. Thoy do 'not trust their own powers. They have never learned to stand squarely on their own feet, think their own thoughts and make their own deci sions. Tho price that must be paid for this shifting of responsibility is a heavy one the loss of a kingdom. Wo voluntarily abdicate tho throne of personality, resign tho priceless prlvilogo conferred upon overy hu man boing In this civilized land tho right to think nnd speak and decide and act for himself.

C Tho News says that both In Marshflold and in Douglas county there is a revival of last yoar's talk of building an olectrlc lino from Marshflold to Roseburg.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Ma Rends The Riot Act. Last nite when Pa set down to eat, The first think that he said Was: "Mickey has got some dicky Ideas in his head. He could have saved that game Sun day By taking Peralto out." "That's what he could," said bruther Bill, "What was the man about?" En so it went, this way en that, Some praises en some knocks, En speculatin' on who mite Have gone into the box. "It does beat all," said Pa at last, "How we keep up of late!" "It's nuthin but bull-heded luck!" Said Bill across his plate. En all the time I saw Ma's face A sort o' cloudin' up, En castin' shadows all aroun' Her plate en coffee cup. En when Pa sez: "We're second now," Why, Ma riz up en hit Her fist upon the table cloth With these few words, to-wit: "This baseball talk is got to stop! If not, you might as well Be warned that Sue en me will eat Our meals at some hotel. We won't sit here en be Ignored Nite after nite this way, While you two crazy baseball fans Fight over every play!" With that Ma hit the table hard, En dropped into her seat. En Pa looked sort o' hen-pecked like En shifted both his feet. En after, while, first time in weeks, He looked across Ma's way. En says: "Maria, hev'd you get The housework done today?" Adapted. Every man believes that he car ries the heavy end of the log. It is sad, but nevertheless some things are too true to be good. Many employers seem to think that a low salary offers no dlstrnctlons to the mind, and thus the mind Is free to entertain high aspirations. , BMA-OOH AS People who cultivate hot air are probably hoping to attnlu fame as bal looulsts. Pride goes before a fail If It is too high minded to follow. In order to have peace In the house it is necessary to have some one will ing to take all the hatchellngs meekly. Many people nro kind because it is too much troublo to be otherwise. it doesn't take much to please a wo man, but It Is keeping her pleased that keeps a man busy. Tho fellow that makes tho greatest strides in the right direction spells his luck with a "p" In frout. Picnics nro pleasant things to think about, nnd some of us nro qulto satis fied to tako ours all out lu thinking. It is easy to bo popular. Don't have any feelings of your own, flatter your acquaintances, run down their enemies and have n good word for everybody. The Great Headliner. All other shows tako second place Or do not run at all. One URgrecatlon Alls the ring And will remain till rail; Tho thick, denso smoko, tho only noise, Tho tumult, wild and red. The one loud, piercing scream will be The campaign Just ahead. Let small attractions take a seat Some distance In the rear Nor try with their allurements to Disturb tho atmosphere, Because no odds how they attempt To cut up and to shout. They may as well know In advance They will bo crowded out. Tho man who wants to Btart a fund To nnd tho long lost polo, To lit out ships with grub and such And several tons of coal. Will have to wait around without Encouragement or cheer. Tho funds ate needed for parades And other things this year. The fellow with a freeklsh cult. The man with mining stock, May close up their concerns and take A walk around the block. All minor matters have to wait Or walk their horses slow. Their season has not opened yet; The campaign Is tho show. SUNSHINE. A LITTLE gold amid the gray That's sunshine. A little brightness on the way- That's sunshine. A little glimpsing of the blue, A little widening of the view. A little heaven breaking through That's sunshine. A little looking for the light That's sunshine. ' A little patience through the night That's sunshine. A little bowing of the will, A little resting on the hill. A little standing very still That's sunshine. A little smiling through the tears That's sunshine. A little faith behind the fears That's sunshlre. A little folding of the hand, A little yielding of demand, A little grace to understand That's sunshine. Stuart Maclean. Good evening! Have you voted yet? Offer to grant a boy any single wish, and he will wish for something to eat. The Times contest beats a city election, for you can vote early and often and the oftener the better. People often get this advice: "Enjoy yourself while you may." But if you set out to find enjoyment, you don't find much. Sometimes a smoker gets a whiff of a cigar that reminds him of a par ticularly good cigar he smoked years ago and has lost track of. Some Coos Bay church members are so grasping that should their pastor ask for the rendering of the sacred song, "Ninety and Nine," many would kick for a hundred. When a Coos Bay man begins by saylng, "Of course, It Is none of my business, but " It Is a sign he Is going to make it his business and advise you what to do. When a Coos Bay woman goes Into a dry goods store, and Is pleased with everything shown her, It Is a sign that she has no Intention of buying. But If she finds fault with every thing, she Intends to buy that day. When a man and woman are first married they try to look unconcern ed on the streets, but if you will no tice, they always lean over a little toward each other. But they grad ually drift apart, and In five or six years they occasionally lean the other way. Lo r vi SsV zm 4$ vA yi u Good Fit. "He calls his wife Dynamite for a pet name." "Dynamite?" "Yes; sho is always blowing people up." Offering Him a Chance. "Why don't you go to work?" asked tho man of the house of the husky tramp who had asked for something to cat "Can't find anything at my trade, boss," ho replied. "What is your trade?" "Shoveling snow," he replied sadly, looking up at the hot summer sky. "So no one will give you work at It," mused the man of the house. "Well, I will. No man who wants work shall say I turned him nway. Get your shovel, my good man, and shovel about half a ton of snow up on my front porch, and then you can come inside and sit down to one of the best meals you have hnd in a long time." The Reason. A mermaid swam the ocean blue; Her hair was golden green. Sobriety was overdue Red booze was on the scene. Willing Another Should Have Him. "Is it true, Ida, that you are going to marry Mr. Johnson?" "Yes. I have finally consented." "A girl should be mighty careful In such things. You know you have only known him a little while." "Yes, but he conies highly recom- meuded. He showed me testimonials from his threo former wives." HER DARK nOSE HALTS BULL. Funny to Them. "naif the people In that car are standing." "It Is that wny every night."

"No; for punishment." Goes Without Saying. "My parents wero houest, but poor." "You ueedn't have said It "What?" "The last."' Girl He Chnsert Fell nnd Her Red Clonk Wns Eclipsed. PORT JERVIS, N. Y., August G. A bull got out of a barn-yard near Calllcoon Centre, Sllllvan county, and wandered in the highway Just as Miss Carrie Mulhern, wearing a red coalk, appeared. The bull charged the young wom an, She started for a fence, urged on by the farmer, who was after his runaway. She tripped over a log and fell. The bull stopped within a dozen feet of her, then turned and allowed his master to drive him back home. Miss Mulhern asked the farmer why the animal had become so docile. "Young woman," he replied, "when you fell the bull saw nothing but your white skirt and black stockings. He evidently thought he was color blind, or had made a mis take, which so dazed him that he al lowed himself to be driven home without trouble, something which I have never known him to do before."

John Burrows and his daughter, Maude, of Philadelphia, who are vis iting a friend above Lackawaxen, In company with the eldest son of tho farmer, holed what they thought was a fox In some rocks. A feedbag was obtained, and Miss Burrows held It over one hole while her companion, who had made a fire, began the smoking out process at the other hole. Suddenly there was a rush and something plunked Into the bag with a snarl. Miss Burrows closed the bag. There was much spit ting and snarling from within, fol lowed by a ripping and tearing of the sack, then the head and claws of a wildcat protruded. Miss Burrows dropped the bag, the wildcat freed itself and leaped at her. A shot fired by the farmer's son kill ed It. In the cave three kittens wero found. The little fellows fought savagely, but were all got Into the bag and taken home. The steamship City of Panama will leave Marshfield for SAN FRAN CISCO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8.
