It KEEP THE BOYS AND GIRLS HOME. AT In an editorial on the county school question the Stayton Mall hits the nail on the head. It is not al always lack of money that stands In the way of the farmer sending his children to the city to attend high school. More often it is a fear that the young folks, horn and bred on the farm with its free dom from restraint, its naturalness, its strong home ties will lose their heads in the city, pass from the con trol of their parents, and acquire Iiablts that they would not if they remained on the farm or In the coun- try schools. With the county high school plan, which provides that the county court may contract with ex isting schools to educate all comers, a majority of the boys and girls ot tho farms can attend some school so near home that they can travel back and forth night and morning. In some cases tho child will be absent from home the entire week but Fri day night will find him back under tho parental roof and subject to those uplifting and saving influences that are found only where mother love roigns. Following Is the comment of the Stayton Paper: "Wo are pleased to noto that Marl on county Is to have tho opportunity of voting on the county high school proposition in November of this year. This matter needs the immediate, careful and conscientious Investiga tion of every voter in this county. Bo not loathe to Investigate this proposition and lend iovery legitimate effort to Its assured success. In tho carrying of this measure in Marlon county you sot an example before tho world that you stand in tho rank for offering higher education to our boys and girls. It Is not always a matter of finance that deters a boy or girl from ob taining a high school or collego edu cation. It Is tho stern fact that tho iparcnts do not like to permit of tho child going from tho pnrontal care befora they have nttained to tho ad vanced ngo when others having hot tor opportunities for education havo outstripped thorn in all linos. It is then, that tho boy or girl fools reluc iant in entering tho high schools, universities or colleges throughout tho country to vlo with thoso of other sections in the gaining of fcnowlodgo.

The example of modern adaptation of conditions to the needs of life is related by Frank G. Carpenter In telling of his African travels. He says: "I have had excellent tea which I brewed with hot water from the loco motive. At jneal times the black boy who 13 in charge of the car brought me a kettle and I made my tea with tea pills.

The revolution It would signify when carried to its utmost limit is amazing to contemplate. Like the equality that will become the lot of those who 'spell English words after the slm- pllfled spelling reformers have com pleted their work there will be no distinction between the ability of cooks, and all will occupy a common and serene plane. Whether that will seem another blow at the marriage custom or if it would stimulate the ambition in that direction depends, on one's point of view regarding the importance of the position the cater er'3 art holds in the domestic home. The extremists who believe we eat to live, not live to eat, look hope fully to the point where science will extract the nourishment from food, In advance and present the vital ele ments In such condensed form for consumption that the human system will find a largo number of its ne cessary organs are no longer worth the room they occupy If their ex pectatlon is sustained the doom of the vermiform appendix may only be tho beginning of the explorations the surgeon's knives will take. But who would really want to ex change the thralldom of a table of "grub," the mental picture of which is enough to start the gastric juices into activity, for an era, when a pill or a tablet would be relied on for the strictly practical purpose of keeping tho human machinery working? It might save some of the present woes but it would eliminate to a humiliating degree the joys that make life worth living. CIVIC INSURANCE. By tho terms of a contract enter ed into thirty-one years ago betweon Lyman Jennings, then fifty-nine years old, and tho town of Athol, Massachusetts, ho gave tho town $9,000 outright on its agreement to pay him Interest on It at six per cent as long as ho lived $540 a year and then to eontlnuo after his death to pay to his widow ?1S0 a year and to each of his three children $120 a year, an amount eqnnl to that which Jennings would recelvo yearly during his lifetime, as long as eah of these four heirs might live. Tho results of tho contract aro be!n,j widely commented upon as a ruin ously reckless deal by that thrifty Now England town. Tho "select men" decided to tako up with Jen nings" offor nfter applying tho fig ures of a life Insurance mortuary table to tho flvo proposed benoflcl nries. Jonning3 lived thirty years Instead of fourteen and a half years that thoy had credited him with. Tho town meantime had paid out to him ?1C,200; his wife and ono daughtor now survive him and tho town is paying them together $300 a year and must continue to pay ono $1S0 a year and tho other $1,20 so long ns each lives. In other words, it is now getting tho use of $9000 for only about 3 1-3 per cent Inter- osr. h it invested tho principal pro- inor'y there ought to bo a good profit - of mere. uj i w ith toe ! oast a X,' ffff .

You may get through the world, but 'twill be very slow, If you listen to all that is said as you go; You'll be worried and fretted and kept in a stew For meddlesome tongues must have something to do. And people will talk. If quiet and modest, you'll have it presumed That your humble position is only assumed You're a wolf In sheep's clothing, or else you're a fool, But don't get excited; keep perfect ly cool For people will talk. And then, If you show the least bold ness of heart, Or a slight disposition to take your own part, They call you an upstart, conceited and vain; But keep straight ahead; don't stop to explain. For people will talk. If threadbare your dress, or old- fashioned your hat, Some person will surely taken no tice of that, And hint rather strong that you can't pay your way; But don't get excited, whatever you say For people will talk. If you dress in the fashion, don't think to escape, For they criticise then In a different shape; You're ahead of your means, or your tailor's unpaid, But mind your own business, there's naught to be made, For people will talk. Now; the best way to do Is to do as you please, For your mind, If you have one, will then be at -ease. Of course, you will meet with all sorts of abuse, But don't think to stop it it's real ly no use For people will talk. ANON. Whatever you do, don't play horse with your friends. The stomach rebels making any explanation. without A pup Is a friendly as a candidate two days before election. When a man falls In love with a woman, all the other women make fun of his taste. When a big, strong, powerful look ing man smiles and shows dimples in his cheeks, It looks funny. There Is nothing people admire more than a man and his wife who aro in love with each other. Talk flvo minutes with any man confidentially and you will find he has been robbed by somebody. A man never appreciates the value of his wife until he wants to use her as an excuse for not going to war. You can learn something from the baby. A baby Is good natured In the morning when others aro grouchy. Wo havo seen, some sort of a card game wherein thoso engaged play "for safety." After a man passes 50, and oven before, ho should play for safety In tho game of life. There Is no mark on a man to In dicate whether ho has been married, or how often. A man Is so built that In this. But suppose Jennings had put that $9000 In a good savings bank back In 1877 He would have drawn $540 a year on It for at least fifteen years or so, and after that only flvo per cent or four per cent or perhaps ns low at 3 per cent at times; but on an avorago Interest of 4Vj por cent for tho full period ho would havo drawn $12,500 in all, and his wldpw and daughter would now bo drawing four per cent on It or $300 a year instead of $300 and bo- sides this they, not tho town, would own the $9000! Lyman Jennings wasn t nearly so good a "ilgerer ' as tho town of Athol was, after all. Tea jie can sali through matrimonial ven- j tures like a duck through a rain- ' storm. But the marriage marks a woman like smallpox. Laws of Love. Carolyn Wells glve3 the following laws of love, which may be Interest ing to the debutantes this winter: "Be sure you're right, then lose your head. "A ring on the hand is worth two at the door. "A fool and his money are soon married. "A little debutante is a dangerous thing. "Proposals make cowards of us all. "There Is no fool like a bold fool. "The longest way round is the sweetest way home. "One kiss deserves another. I " 'Tis love that makes the man come 'round. , "Kisses speak louder than words. "He gloves best whose love lasts. "People who live in glass houses shouldn't hold hands. : "The woman who deliberates is won. "Where there's a will there's wedding. MY PILLOWMOBILE. 'Tis my delight, In the depths of night, To speed in my Pillow Car; To usance perchance Through sunny France, Perhaps to the Polar Star. I linger long In th'e Hills of Song, I travel to Mandelay; I board my ship And take a trip To glorious Yesterday. My Pillow train Will jump from Spain To Saturn, perhaps the Moon; Then take the track That leads me back To the Home of Eternal June. Through old Japan, Beloochistan, And Tibet and gay Pekln; And thence we creep Through the vasty deep To the haunts of the Tribes of Fin. My Pillow Car's Been up to Mars It travels both earth and air; And, like the wind, It leaves behind The City of Woe and Care. So come with me, On a pillowy spree, For the Land of Dreams awheel; Through sky and earth, To joy and mirth, In my wonderful Plllowmoblle. JOHN KENDRICK BANGS. NOT SELF WORKING.

The plan may look as flno as silk And ready to produce In fact, a trlplo plated cinch Too allele for any use But net results will not produce Enough to buy a hat While wo but dream about tho plan And let it go at that. Indeed, In looking o'er our schemes Quite rosy and select Thoso that wo try do not pan out Tho way that wo expect. So it Is useless and. In fact, A waste of tlmo to try Collecting on tho ones unborn And billed for by and by. How very lovely it would be If wo had but to draw Upon tho storehouse of our mind For schemes without a flaw And, looking through them, could se lect The ones that looked the best And sit back In our easy chair And let them do tho restl Tho Fact Struck Him. "Ho learned a lot of things ho nover knew be foro when ho went out on a i campaign spocchmaklng trip." "I expect." "YeS; he never dreamed that so many ripe toma toes were raised in ono season." Sort of Remembered Him. Thero was great excitement at Miss Chrlstabel's refined summer resort. Tho girls had gathered nround ono who was talking iu an animated tone, and the Interest was Intense "Yes," sho said, "I know Just exact ly what they aro Ilko." "Oh, do descrlbo ono!" sang all the other girls In chorus. They were talking about a man, gen tle render. That was all. z.L.'
