WITH THE TEA
AMn TUP TRACT
Til ICY TALKER Ol? HOSES.
THE tlmo is at hand when tho
call of tho great outdoors Is
heard throughout tho land. It
cqmoB from tho buib and blossoms
on tlio Coos Day hills and from
every spot whoro tho sunshlno from
n sky of blue tempers tho chill of
tho atmosphere. Somotimos tho
music of tho fairies reaches into
unexpected spots and cornors, oven
in crowded centers. An instance
of this I3 furulsltcd In n Btory from
Daltlmoro that a jutlgo, after hav
ing scntouccd a man to Jail for two
months, lot him go homo so ho
could tnko caro of his rosobushes.
Tho Daltlmoro Sun gives tho Btory
as follows:
"Judgo, can't you inanago to fix
It Bomo other way. Two months?
Why, If yon sand mo up for two
months, all my rose biishe3 will
ho dead by tho tlmo I get out
again." .t,
, ,'Your roso bushos?" fluid Justice
Dean, who in an amateur gardener
hlmsulf.
"Yes, sir. And tho-spring of tlio
year is almost hero and them roso
IhibIich has got to got trimmed
proper or they'll dlo."
Thoy talked roses, tho Justice and
John. Thoy talked violets. Thoy
talked iluhtlns. Thoy talked a grout
variety of flowero and of soil. Tho
Justice forgot how John happened
to bo buforo him.
Ami In (ho cud, hu toll! John to
go homo and take caro of his rose
hushes
If tho man was a wrong-door
and needed Inspiration to reform,
who will cm y that this Judgo was
wrong in sending his prlsouur back
to tlio iohu bushos.

lively Interest In Clcnu-up

of n sacrifice to make It a success.
Thoy felt amply repaid in tho good
accompll3hed for tho entire commun
ity. And along this lino of effort
community sorvlco tho Dry (loods
Economist contains this significant
statement, showing what llvo bus
iness mou can do In n given town:
"Ton yours ago I was busy dodg
ing tho shorlff and wearing my
head out thinking up new excuses
In roply to lotlors from my cred
itors," nro the words of n grizzled
merchant whoso soiling force now
numbers well up in tho hundreds.
"And it was," ho goos on to say,
"because I, Ilka many othor mer
chants, was so busy lnsldo my store,
working out pluns to gut tho peo
ple's mouoy, that 1 had no time to
dovoto to tho Intorosts of my own
community, my town, my city gov
ernment. It never occurred to inu
that It would holp mo It 1 helped
put some money Into tho town. Tho
town wiis at u stnndstlll commerc

And it wasn't long until wo found

Or nro tho birds oil wrong
That play on fluto and viol,
A thousand strong, -
The mlnstrol galleries,
Of tho long deep wood,
Epiphanies
Of bloom and bud.
And many a silly thing
That hops and cheops,
And perks his tiny tall,
And sidelong peeps,
And flitters llttlo wing,
Seems in his consequential wny
To toll of Spring.
Thb river warbles soft and runs
With fuller curve and sleeker lino,
Though all tho wiutorlackenod

And trampled still tho rlvorscdge.
And, O, tho sun!

big warm hands.
And 0, tho ky! . . .

QUESTION' I'OR THE DAY.
O i
And what has becomo of tho old
fashioned pewter cruett containing
salt, popper, vluegur and mustard
bottles that used to stand In the
center of tho table?
"Off with the old lovo and on with
tho now," Is so apt an adngo that
ofton credit Is overlooked whoro
credit Is due. Tho first toot of
tho first train to Coos Hay swept
from mind almost In an instant the
fact that thoro ever existed any
other mode of getting In and out
of tho hitherto "Hermit Kingdom."
With tho coming of tho railroad,
tho beach stages simultaneously be
came toltcs of tho past.
Hut they "have played on Import
ant part, and have played it ns
host they could, .in bringing Coos
Hay into tho limelight.
'Unhiio Section.
Nowhoro olso in tho United States
perhaps has a section ns largo as
Coos county flourished as It has
without tho aid of steam tralii3.
Tlmo and agnln visitors have gono
away from hero, taking with them
wlord and exciting talcs of how thoy
'had been way off down to Coos
Hay on a stago and enmo back allvo"
and thereafter liavo recounted nd
vciiturcn made oven maro ozcltlng
in tlio tolling, of how tho wind blow
Umptiua to Winchester Hay, also
thoy woro in uso between Jnrvls
Landing and Empire.
Steamer .Itiucuti Cimii'.
Hut shortly nfter tho now run
was started, the old steamer Juneau
was bought for service on tho Ump-
0.ua. Before this It had boon run
ning on the Coqultlo and Coos Hay
mid another speed notch was added
to tho lino.
Up until 1897 this trl-wedkly
service persisted, but business then I
had Increased so that the stago
wont through six times n week. Hut'
then again tlio speed god of tlio
20th contury urged his point audi
automobiles inado their first ap
peal anccB ns bench stages.

As to how long wagon stages
have been running Into tho Coos Hay
country well oven tlio oldest Inhab
itant would have to think might;
hard as ho scratched his head and
flgurod back thruogh tho decades.
At any into, In 1S78 thoro was

Hay, coming through with the mall
and what passengers thoro were,
to Port Orford. Tho Hun wa3 owned

About this samo tlmo N. J. Corn
wall, now wo call him Capt. Corn
wall, cunio'to Hurdliior from Ten
nesson. Ills old friondfl say that
ho was a "tolerably husky lad," with
good health and llttlo else.
He liked tho country and decided
to Rtny. About tho tlmo ho had
fltudlod up and secured u certificate
to teach, ho wan offerod u Job of
driving tlio stago to Coos Hay, and
ho accoptod. Capt. Cornwall stayed
with this selfsame Hue until Tues
day of this week, whon for nil tlmo
tho steam cars put tho routo out
of busliinss.

For tho noxt four years, Capt.
Cornwall drove the stage and in

A Coos Hay woman who prides
hoifcolf on "always speaking hor

to speak of.
