NO GKOUCII HERE.
HERE ARE those on Coos Bay who seem to have reached the conclv-
Tsion and try to give currency to it that The Times is "knocking" the
city and Its prospective developments of various sorts. This we
deny earnestly and emphatically; and to bolster the denial wo assert
i.hat In every instance these complaints come direct from those who are
.next and nearest the things we have had to deal with in a critical way.
It is time some sort of censorship was set up hereabout to look Into
ithe public concerns that arc being shaped up here, and to exact the
-".square deal" at every point of contact between the public and the
promoter. That's what,we are in existence for, and .that we are miscon
strued by those who are pinched a bit In the discussion, makes no dif
ference to us. We are after the general .good and safety and that Is all
there Is to it.
We are daily and hourly In touch with the candid sentiment of the
people here; far more so than those who pretend to tell us where we
fail. We have no hammer out for anything that is fair and square and
.iusiness-like but if a hundred men tell us the same thing in the course
. of a day on any given proposition,- we are going to look into It and help
straighten it out If It Is the last thing we do on Coos Bay. Coos Bay has
.no better friend than its press, and wo propose to discuss public matters
upon their merit and demerit no matter who has to bear the weight
.of criticism.
There are two ways of doing things; the right way and the wrong
.-way; we propose to have them done the right way or not at all; any
thing short of this is communal treachery.
We give thousands of columns a year to the good of Coos Bay and do
Jt gratuitously and because we are of Coos Bay. We are none of us
ijiL'illlblo, but we can help each other at the propitious moment, and
for one, we propose to do this. It is very easy to forget the generosity
.of the local press, far too easy; and while we are about It, we may as
well say that that forgetfulness and indifference to past favors, is thor
oughly well known and understood at this office, and is always employed
Un differentiating the sources of adverse criticism wherewith we are In
dulged. Wo are for Coos Bay first; after that wo shall always be glad
io say the cheerful and friendly thing of the individual. This Is the pro
vince of a newspaper, interested and disgruntled critics to the contrary
.notwithstanding.

STRANGE.
ISN'T it strange, with all tho glrU
We see about us, every day
Glrfs with pompadours and curls.
With hair that rolls and hair that swirls.
With eyes of blue and. eyes of brown,
With all tho different girls In town
Isn't It strange. I rise to say.
With all theBO girls for us to view,
That only one dear girl will do?
ISN'T It strange that we should sigh
With girls about tis everywhere
With rosy Up and laughing eye,
With winsome Nellie dancing nigh,
With romplrjg Sue and roguish May
And elfish Kate, that we should say
For all these girls we have no care.
But thousands of miles o'er the ocean
blue
Is gcntlo Jane only she will do 7
ISN'T It strange, but Isn't It true.
J- With millions of lassies, far and near.
There's only one In tho world will do.
Only on that your heart goes to?
The others una pretty and witty and gay,
But they don't charm you In the slight
est way.
Tho songs they sing you cannot hear.
They may dance and sing, but somehow
for you
There's only one girl in the world will do.

Poker and love are both games of
bluff.
A Coos Bay girl thinks a man is
swift if he tries to flirt with her and
slow if he doesn't.
No man ever had half as much fun
with a butterfly after catching it, as
he did during the chase.

One difference between some Coos
Bay men and a mule is that the men
do most of their kicking with their
mouths.
Too many Coos Bay church mem
bers are a lot more anxious about
their souls' salvation than they are
about the preacher's income.

There is a sweetness, a ripeness, a divine something about a serene

pare with the benign, satisfying Influence which radiates from an ex-
jQulsitely poised personality.
Somo of our best observatories are built upon mountain tops, so that
tho great lens which sweeps the heavens may not bo obscured by the dust,

In order to shut out the din, the terrible noises which distract the
mind, in order to shut out tho thousand and one disturbing influences in
our strenuous life, the things which warp and twist and distort us, it is
.accessary to rise into the higher realm of thought and feeling, where we
-can breathe a purer air, get in closer touch with tho divine.

l ON HAVING FRIENDS.
Luckless Is tho man without friends. How Insufferably empty and
stupid is the Hfo of one who cannot point to a score and more inti
mates that would cheerfully forego a good dinner for tho privilege of
helping him minimize his tribulations. What a tranquil, uninteresting
Torld It would be, but for tho efforts of the "good fellows" In behalf of
Jj0ioso of whom they are fond.
A touching manifestation of friendship occurred in Pittsburg a few
.flays ago, and, seemingly, Is a case in point. A cortain young man,
upon deciding to marry, Invited all of his affectionate comrades to the
'function. They went. Knowing tho mental strain of such affairs upon
Ttho parties chiefly concerned, the faithful contingent perceived, unot
singly, tho way of duty, "and labored horolcnlly to divert the newly wed--ded
couple.
As soon ns tho ceremony had ended, waggish hands seized tho bride
.and groom, handcuffed them togothor, threw them into an nsh cart,
sind galloped the humble vehicle madly about tho town to tho eternal
.flelectatlon of street urchins and 1 oafers who kindly contributed sun
dry onions and cabbages, not mentioning jovial advlco and criticism,
tto tfiho blissful pair. It was indeed a joyous and edifying occasion, nl
tlmuslr It Is rogrottablo that tho g room failed to add his mite to tho
general good will ami Joviality of tho moment by sportively breaking
the heads of his dear friends with the singlo treo of the nsh cart.
George Gould's oldest son Is work
ing in a mine in Novadn. Since Mr.
llarrlnmn got acquainted with tho
family tho Goulds apparently nppro
clate the necessity of earning their
own living.
x Mary Callahan, a Toxns widow,
owns 60,000 sheep. Whon wo con
sider tho fact that Mary had a llttlo
Iamb, only, to bogln with, it must bo
acknowledged that sho has done re
markably well.
A man has so many moro tempta
tions than a woman because ho

girl knows enough to play when com
pany comes.
A day on the planet Jupiter is
said to be as long as 50,000 days
on the earth. A two weeks vacation
with full pay on Jupiter must be
worth while.
Every man knows he Is not the he
roic, fascinating creature his sweet
heart pretends to think him, but he
would rather be lied to to his dying
day than to be told the brutal truth.
A clever Coos Bay girl who doubt
less speaks from experience, says:
"A baby's kisses taste of stale milk,
a boy's of jam, a young man's of
cigarettes and a bachelor's of cocktails.
Yes, she's away, you would not guess
It from the way I've made my
bed;
Nor could you know the absence by
Tho bird, for twice a day he's fed.
Tho rubber plant is moist all the
time,
I am attending to her wishes;
And yet you're suro that she's away,
Because you see those dirty dishes.
Yes, she's away. I've fed the cat,
I've oven dusted the chairs;
And though sho Is not here, you'll
find
No burned-out matches on the
stairs,
The sweet peas dally I have plucked
That was but one of many wishes;
And yet there's proof that she's
away,
Behold that stack of dirty dishes!
Yes, she's away. I'm "keeping
bach,"
Tho curtains In tho front are
drawn;
Yot you'd not guess that I'm un
bossed, Throe times a week I'm up nt
dawn
Tho wood each morn I carry In,
I change tho water for her fishes;
And yet her absenco now is plain,
For I'm entirely out of dishes.
