DOX'T MIND, LITTLE HOY. Olllclal I'nper of Coos County XEHVE WASTE )ItonABLY most human norv r ous systems develop only a small fraction of what Is with in their powor, clthor quantitatively or qualitatively," declares Dr. Chris tain A. Hortcr, the famous biologist. Tho statement will not be question ed by moBt peoplo who have consid ered tho matter of humnn develop ment In tho light of nctual and possi ble attainment. Tho reason for this condition Is often not tho lack of en ergy or nmbltlon so much as that of concentration nnd nerslstence. Tho nvcrago man or womnn In tends to do vory much more than ho or she actually accomplishes. Tho schedule of work which tho average person maps out for himself cltho for n slnglo day or for that vague and conven'ontly delnyed future dif fers radically f 0111 tho amount or work that ho nctually gem done. And this Is not because tho dreams or planB aro so impossible or so dif ficult. Tho plans aro oftcnor In lironor accord with his talents and capabilities than aro the actual re sults. This dlfloronco between wnat ono conceives of doing and what one .really does represents quite Accu rately tho dlfforonco between what his no-vo system Is cnpahlo of and what It nctually atta'ns. From this difference, hqwevor, must bo subtracted tho ndded power which would ho gained by continual success Instoad of continual failure But Dr. Ilortor'n statement about norvo wasto Is not that of n thoor'st or Impractical educator. Its truth can bo nttcsted by practically ovory ono who Is honest onnugh to admit tho facts of his own life a record. Tho oxnmplcs of great nchlovo ment nro often cited ns freaks of liu man capac ty. As n matter of fact, they may be rogarded ns tho sane and no-mal Illustrations of what tho nv ernge mortal might do If ho had do velopod his norvniio system to tho full, had not grown wenry boforo ho fairly entered upon tho practical working out of tho things ha cco thought possible for hlinsoif. Hit. WILEY'S DECLARATION ACJAIXST AHSIXTIIE. Don't mind wbnt tho world has to say, little boy, Dqn't worry because of Its Jeers; There are plenty to mock nt tho errors you make, And meet you with tnuntlngs nnd sneors; There Is over n frown for your laugh, llttlo boy, And ever n scowl for your smllo, But give to tho world all tho best that you have, And tho best will return In awhile. Don't mind all the Jibes of tho world, llttlo boy, But bravely accomplish your part; Success will rownrd you If you will persist, With tho sunshine of song In your heart. Don't wcakon when barriers rise, llt tlo boy, You'll meet with obstructions each mllo; Just give to tho world nil tho best that you have, And tho best will return In nwhllo. Don't worry becnuso of dofents, llt tlo boy, You'll moot thorn nloug your llfo's road; nut doggedly rlso when you'ro bckt en to earth, ,. And stagger along with your load. It Isn't n pathway of case, llttlo hoy, You'll find It Is not to your stylo; Ilut glvo to tho world nil tho best that you hnvo, And tho best will roturn In nwhllo. Don't weaken nt dangers you'll face, llttlo boy; Do bravo when such perils nppcnr; Do dauntless nnd valiant nnd honest and true, And you wlU hnvo nothing to fonr. Go boldly, courageously' on, llttlo boy, With a song on your lips, and n smllo; Just glvo to tho world nil tho best that you havo, And tho bout will roturn In nwhllo. E. A. nitlMINSTOOL.

Blnco the cession or tho leglsluturo In 1S91, hns bcou without authority 0 law. This opinion was rendered nt c quest of Sheriff Will C. Smith, of Josephine county. According to t'ie opinion nnd Supremo court rulings aro quoted when tho legislature passed tho flat-salary act, till laws vesting tho Shorlff with authority to collect fees In civil ensos woro ro pcnled. Opinion cites Hoctlon 31'20, Lords Oregon Laws, as nutliorPv. This was passed In 1874, grnntlng tho Sheriff authority to collect fees In civil cases to bo hold by him as compensation, and later tho leglsl.i turo passed tho lnw In 1S01, which waB amendatory and provided thnt salaries bo paid to all county oftlcs nnd thnt fees collected by them be turned over to the county. Tho opi nion holds thnt tho legislature In 1895 nmonded tho law again nnd re moved tho clause providing thnt civil fees bo turned over to tho county, which, therefore removed tho Shov Ift'B authority to collect them. If tho opinion Is correct, tho Sher iffs throughout tho state are, nnd hnvo been for yenrs, collecting civil fees without nuthorlty, nnd many thousands of dollnrs hnvo been paid by parties to suits who wcro not re quired to go to tho expense.
