SOME YOUTHFUL' EXPERIENCE
A Scientific Discussion on the Early
Training of Boys from a Business
Standpoint With Reminiscences of
Early Days at Sunday School,
Astoria, April 1.
In discussing this important subject
you can read between the lines what
I have had practical experience in t"ae
subject matter. We don't send the
boys and girls of Astoria to the high
school or college to learn to shoot craps
or shake dice, but to get an education.
We want you to get a little of the
education that is about the only thing
that is lying around loose in this world,
and that is about the only thing that
a fellow can have as much of as he's
willing to hajil away. Everything els.'
Is screwed down tight and the screw
driver is lost.
I am anxious that you snouid be a
good schollar like me, but I am more
anxious that you should be a good.clean
man. And if you graduate with a
sound conscience, I shan't care so much
If there are a few holes in your Latin.
There are two parts to a college educa
tion the part you get in the school
room from the teachers and the part
you get outside from the boys. That's
the really Important part, for the first
can' only make you a schollar, while
the second can make you a man.
, Education is a good deal like eating
a fellow can't always tell which par
ticular thing did him the most good,
but he can usually tell which one did
him harm. After a square meal of
roast beef and vegetables and mince
pie and watermelon, you can't just say
which ingredient is going into muscle,
but you don't have to be very bright to
figure out which one started the de
mand for pain-killer In your insldes
or to guess the next morning which
one made you believe in a personal
devil the night before And so while a
fellow can't figure out to an ounce
whether it's Latin or algebra or his
tory or what among the solids that U
building him up In this place or that,
he can go right along feeding them in
and betting that they're not the things
that turn his tongue fuzzy.
Does a college education pay? Does
it pay to feed in pork trimmings at 6
cents a pound at the hopper and draw
out nice, cunning little "country" sau
sages at 20 cents a pound at the othet
end T Does it pay to take a steer that's
been running from Seaside to Sklp
panon, and living on Canada Thistles
and petrified wood till he's just a
bunch of barbed wire and sole leather
and feed him corn 'till he's just a solid
hunk of porterhouse steak and ole oil?
Tou bet it pays! Anything extra that
trains a boy to think and to think
quick pays. Schools don't make fools.
It develops them. It don't make bright
men. It develops them. A fool will
be a fool whether he goes to school oi
not through he'll probably turn out a
different sort of a fool.
Of course all this is going to take
so much time and thought that you
won't have a very wide margin left
for golf especially in the afternoons
Golf is a nice foolish game and there
ain't any harm in It so far as I know
except for the balls the stiff balls
at the beginning, the lost balls in the
middle and the high balls at the end
of the game. Of course a boy should
have a certain amount of play. Just as
a boy is entitled to a pice of pie at
the end of his dinner, but he don't
want to make a meal of it. Anyone
who lets sinkers take the place of
bread and meat gets bullous pretty
young, and those fellows who haven't
any job, except to blow the old man's
dollars in, are a good deal like the
little niggers in the pie eating contest
at the country fair they've plenty of
pastry and they are attracting a heap
of attention, but they've got a stom
ach ache coming to them bye and bye.
I never see one of these Ignorant,
smart alecks swelling around with
their petty larceny pride, that I don't
think of a little experience of mine
when I was a boy. An old fellow
caught me lifting a water melon In
his patch one afternoon, and Instead of
cuffing me and letting me go, as I had
expected, If I got caught, he led me
home by the ear to my ma and told her
what I had been up to. Ma had been
raised on the old-fashioned plan, and
she had never heard of these new
fangled theories of reasoning gently
with a child till its under lip begins to
stick out and its eyes fill with tears
as it sees the error of its ways. She
fetched the tears all right, but she did
it with a trunk strap or a slipper, and
ma was a pretty substantial woman.
Nothing of the tootsy-wootsy about
her foot and nothing of the airy-fairy
trifle about her slipper. When she was
through I knew 1 had been licked
polished right off to a point, and the
she sent me to my room and told me
not to iHke my none out of it till 1
could recite the ten commandment
and the Sunday school lesson by heart
Ther was a whole chapter of it
and an Old Testament chapter, too
but I laid right into It because 1 knew
ma. and sunuer was only two hours
off. I can repeat that chapter still
forward and backward and without
missing a word or mopping to eaten
my breath.
Every now and then old loo. Hoover
u cd to com into the Sunday school
room and scare the scholars into fit
by going from Class to chisa and ask
Ing questions. The next Sunday, for
the first time, 1 was glad to see him
happen in and I didn't try to escape
his attention. For ten minutes I had
been busting for him to ask mo to
recite a verse of the lesson, and when
he did I simply out loose and recited
the whole chapter and threw in the
ten commandments for good measure.
It sort of dated Doc, because he had
come to me for information about the
Old Testament before, and we neve!
got much beyond. "And Ahab begat
Jahab," or words to that effect.
I then looked and saw ma who had
come In.
Tell 'em son. how you happend to
learn that."
I learned to hate notoriety right then
and there, but I knew there was no
switching her off to the weather when
she wanted to talk religion, so I shut
my eyes and let It come.
'Hooked a water melon, mam."
There wasn't any need for further
particulars with that crowd, and they
simply howled. Ma led me up to our
pew, allowing that she'd tend to me
Monday for disgracing her in public.
That was a twelve grain dose with
out any sugar coat, but it sweat more
cant and false pride out of my sys
tem than Dick Davis' Russian baths.
I learned right there how to be humble,
and that Is more than I learned at any
school
WOMEN IN BARROOMS.
If the Police Don't Enforce the Law
the Sheriff Ought To.
There Is an ordinance on the book
of Astoria that is openly violated every
day. If the police refuse to perform
their sworn duty.' the sheriff ought to
be called upon to assist in enforcing
city ordinances. The ordinance is as
follows:
Ordinance No. 20C6. Section 1. That
no woman shall be allowed to remain
in, loiter about, or solicit drinks in anj
barroom, drink shop, club or gambling
room of any saloon In the city of As
toria. Sec. 2. Any woman violating any of
the provisions of this ordinance or
found in or about any barroom, club or
gambling house, or who shall solicit
any person to drink in such saloon,
barroom, gambling or club room, shall
de deemed guilty of a misdemeanor,
and shall be fined not less than $5 nor
more than $50, or by imprisonment in
the city Jail not less than two nor more
than 12 days.
This ordinance Is violated by a num
ber of saloons In Swllltown. The mat
ter will be more fully discussed in the
near future and a demand made either
to stop the nefarious practice, or close
the saloons.

Burglarized.
Two stores were burglarized early
yesterday morning, evidently by young
boys. The sigar store of Thos. Peter
son was broken into and three boxes
of cigars taken. It is evident that the
young man has been patronizing home
industry, as all the cigars taken were
manufactured by J. V. Burns, showing
the thief's good Judgment of a cigar.
The store of Chas. Hellborn & Son
was broken into, but nothing was
taken. There is no clue to the burg
lars, although the police are workln
on the case. In both cases entrance
was effected by breaking a pane of
glass.

Astoria, March 31
Editor Morning Astorlan:
in the Astorlan of the 30th Inst, are
some statements of early history which
perhaps need a Utile explanation.
The first church spoken of was built
on lot 12, block 115. on the northwest
comer of Franklin avenue by James
Welch and John Shiveley In .185..
The lawn site from Thirteenth to
First street and north of Franklin ave
nue as laid out by John McClure. u-
le of the father of our citizen, Paul
Badloet. Afterward Cyrus Olney, wno
was one of the territorial-Judges of
Oregon, laid off the land oeiw?n
Franklin avenue' and the summit of the
hill and called it Olney'a extension t
McClure's Astoria.
John McClure, not Cjrrus Olney, gave
to the county the court house site, also
lots additional In consideration or
the court house being located In this
part of the town. This was In the year
1851, and the construction of the cour
house was begun that summer, many
ears before Judge Bowlby came to
this part of the country.
In 1S6T he disposed of the lots by lot
tery. " per c nance. me jim-uou
ou.se on Twelfth street being the
prize. Chas. Binder drew tne prize
number, olney was sued in ine i lin
ed States district court, M. P. Deady,
judge, for J100 under the internal reve
nue laws. The court held him liable.
The present county Jail was designed
by the Episcopal pastor Instead of
Cambelite.
The site of Fort George of Astorlu,
is as you say, difficult to locate exactly.
A picture of the fort, as it was In 1813
can be seen in the histories of Gray
and also of Lyman. The fort was built
beside a ravine. Behind it stood a
very large tree called LeRoy de Pin.
About 1832 the tree fell and In 1841
Lieutenant Wlkea aays the tomb of the
Chinook chief. Concomley, was near
the prostrate tree. One writer says
that D. McTavlsh was hurried behind
the northeast bastion of the fort. From
the location of the McTavlsh tomb
stone in late yean it is concluded that
McTavlsh was burrled Just in the rear
of the city hall. In front of the fort
was a kitchen garden while a few hun
dred yards to the left was a wharf
where vessels could ile at low water.
Where Is the site.

An itching, burning skin disease during the hot, sultry summer weather, is a positive
terror and a veritable demon of discomfort. The intolerable itching and stinging are tanta
lizing almost beyond endurance, and the unsightly eruption and rough, red skin keep one
thoroughly uncomfortable and miserable night and day. Eczema, Tetter, and diseases of
this type are caused by acid poisons in the blood, which the heat of summer seems to warm
into life and renewed activity. These fiery acids keep the blxd in a riotous and sour
condition, and the skin unhealthy and feverish they inflame the pores and retard inspira
