THE HAZARD OF LIKE.
The wonder is that we were not all
hustled, protesting, into our graves
aeons ago. He who lives and reads,
each night before retiring . to his
bacteria-breeding couch, experiences
a species of wicked triumph at hav
ing evaded fato during one more haz
ardous day, and the mult'tude of
emissaries of death. For the army of
solons whose work it is to hunt fresh
arguments against the modest life
expectancy of men are beginning to
be credited. One by one newly dis
covered enemies of mortal existence
are disclosed by the enterprising
scientist, and clay by day the convic
tion grows that life is a sorry game
with tremendous odds against the
human participant.
In the mornings men go away from
their homes in pursup'ice of d titii"
duties, knowing not what grim reck
oning fate may have prepared at any
second of immediate futurity. Just
around tho corner may be lurking a
troupe of horrible disease germs to
pounce upon the unsuspecting victim.
Not knowing whon to expect the cold
clasp of the "conqueror worm" man
can put up no specific defense, at best
being able to adopt only general and
insufficient strategies. The water ho
drinks, the food he eats, the woman
lie kisses, may be the innocent med
ium of death. And against tho In
sidious attack ho is helpless. Life
"would not bo good without water,
food or kisses. No man would volun
tarily eschew any of tho three; yet all j
men recognize them as tho "bought"
agonts of the ghastly old reaper.
So calloused have wo grown to the
new disguises affected by death, and,
Teally, to the presence of death, It
soif that not a hair of our head will
assume an apprehonslve perpendlcu
' larlty in recognition of the most re
cent gruesomo discovery of science.
A Dr. Allen, of London, In a journal
appropriately named Tho Lancet,
gives us sinister warning against tho ,
deadly telephone booth. Better !
might a man expect to charge a bat
tery of toxino squirts or grow fat In
a cannibal camp, and survive, than
: to talk for two dollars' worth in a
tolophono booth, says Dr. Allon.
Shun all booths as you would tha
charnla house, tho dueling ground
r and tho burning ghat, he advises, for
it is tho resort of assorted germs.
Many years ago, when there were no
telephone booths, or public towels or
unwashed cafe forks, men died qulto
as suddenly, nnd as frequently as they
- do now. If thoy did not walk blindly
into nests of typhus germs when they
wont abrond thoy encountered other
Influences which were exactly as fatal
The old-timer who never chatted with
his frlond over a long copper wiro
between rteno and Troy, was saved
the dnngors of tho tolophono booth;
but ho was nono tho less likely to ac
commodate, without preface, or
preparation, his loving heirs nnd as
signs. Thoro was tho six-shooter,
tho horned steer, tho storm nt sea and
tho hangman's nooso beforo men over
attompted to classify a gorm. And
beforo then thero was tho nrrow, the
mnco, tho adder and tho poison of tho
Uorglns.
Slnco tho world bogan tho lifo ol
man has been ono of excitement and
-sudden death. But has novor been
tho loss pleasant, despite Us uncer
tainties; theroforo it is not worth
-whilo to bothor about Dr. Allen and
Sils desperate Insinuations, for the
TJraznrd of oxistonco Is no greater now
tfhan It ovor was,
BUILD NOW.
It can truthfully ho said that tho
-value of vacant property is purely
speculative. Instead of heing a
soiirco of roYcnuo It Is n constant ox
ponso; n n expenso of no small size
whon taxes, Interest on tho Invest'
mont, nnd othor kinds of out-go nre
taken Into consideration. Therefore
tho value of thoso Investments must
Increnso nt least at tho rato of C por
cent n year In ordor thnt tho owner
wlll not sustain n loss. On tho other;
hand, property that has been Im
proved, enables the owner to realize
i handsome profit on the amount ex
pended and also practically elimi
nates the element of depreciation.
If you are contemplating building
a home for your own use, for sale or
for renting purposes by all means do
not put It off until next year or next
month, but begin now and take ad
vantage of the exceedingly low prices
In building materials that are now In
effect. If you have not the means
you can easily negotiate a loan on
the proposed Improvements, and still
realize a saving of at least 10 per
cent.
To the owner of vacant property,
speculative owner or Intending home
builder these are thoughts worthy of
-areful consideration. The future of
Coos Bay Is full of promise. We
should bo thoroughly wide awake at
all times and make good use of our
present opportunities. We will find
that we have been amply compensat
ed for the time and money spent.

The Loom of Dreams.
I broider the world upon a loom,
I broider with dreams my tapestry;
Here In a little lonely room
I am master of earth and sea
And the planets come to me.
I broider my life into the frame,
I broider my love, thread upon
thread;
The world goes by with its glory and
shame,
Crowns arc bartered and blood is
shed;
I sit and broider my dreams instead.
And the only world is the world of
my dreams,
And my weaving the only happiness;
For what Is the world but what It
seems?
And who knows but that God, be
yond, our guess,
Sits weaving worlds out of loneli
ness? ARTHUR SYMONS.
