A LIFTER, OR A LEANER?
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.

X was yesterday.
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.

"He calls his

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."
"Why don't tho company put on more
ears?"
"They don't see the use. They con
Hlder It a standing joke."
Guessed Right.
"Where you going?"
"To the woods for a week."
"For a vacation?''
"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."

Hunters Who Smoked It Out Ex
pected Fov Got Three Kittens.
PORT JERVIS, N. Y., August 6.
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.
