LESSON OF THE IVERNA.
"I would rather be a coward on the
high seas, than a corpse on any beach
of the world!" This Is the slogan of
Captain John Collingwood, master of
the fine British bark Iverna, who
chose to beat off and on during the
thirty-three days of tempestuous
weather that has harried this coast,
rather than run tie risk of losing his
ship and his men by hovering along
a lee shore; and the lesson Is strongly
patent and wholesome when viewed In
the light of the two disasters whose
records were completed with the
beaching of the Peter Iredale and the
Galena during that same period and
In this very locality. The fact that
this was Captain Collingwood's first
trip to American waters does not de
tract from the lesson at all, but rath
er accentuates It, since it was a prl
mary principle of navigation with him
and not the issue of frequent sailing
here, nor familiarity with the coast
And he had to contend with an evil
that did not annoy the others,
oreadfully foul ship, straight from
the tropics, loaded to the water sur
face with tons of dragging sea-growth
that made his ship hard to handle in
the very maneuvers usually employed
in the saving of a ship well Inshore.
It Is a bit of tutelage in the science
of seamanship that may well be tak
en to heart by masters predisposed to
risk. He brought his ship Into port
trim and clean and snug, with his crew
intact, as a good navigator delight;
to do and while his duty is wholly
done and he claims no atom of credit
fon; it, he is, in the light of the two
unhappy events alluded to, in pos
session of a claim his modesty has
not yet apprised him of.
CONGRESS AT KANSAS CITY.
There is always something good to
come from a gathering of the people
in congresses convened for the ill
Mission of public needs and public
anuses, me trans-Mlsslsslppi con
gress at Kansas City is a notable ga
thering of men of brains nnd expe
rience and high purpose, and wo look
for wise and clever things to event
uato from their deliberations. It Is
well to air the estimates of the peo
ple of things that aw, and take coun
sel upon things that are to bo; wide
discussion backed by genuine knowl
edge and apt experience, cannot fall
to leave somewhere In Its range, the
seed of improvement and the germ
of enlightenment, that must grow Into
fruition In due time. All the great
questions and interests of the day are
to be passed In review In this coun
ell of the Industries and professions
of America, nnd It will be very strnnge
If no elements of advantage Innure
to the country from such a conven
tion. If but one man be present who
possesses a new and living thought of
value, his expression and explanation
of It may be the nucleus of a tremen
aous cnange ror tne better in some
great avenue of commercial or civic
enterprise or administration, and In
such a concourse as is there assem
bled, the ratio of development Is In
no danger of diminution.

H
RISK Is the place; right over the
hill
Uutis the path I took.
Vou can sec the gap In the old
wall still
And the stepping stones In the shal
low brook.
There is the house, with the gtile red
barred,
And the poplars tall,
And the burn brown length, and the
cattle yard.
And the while horns tossing above
the wall.
There are the beehives ranged In the
sun.
And down by the brink
Of the brook are her poor flowers,
weed o errun.
Pansy and daffodil, rose and pink.
A year has gone, as the tortoise goes.
Heavy and slow,
And th same rose blows, and the
snmo sun glows.
And the same brook sings of a year
ago.
There's the same sweet clover smell In
the breese.
And the June sun warm
Tangles his wings of Ore In the trees,
Betting, us then, over Fernilde farm.
I mind me how with a lover'a cure
From my Sunday cout
X brushed off the burs and smoothed
my hair
And cooled at the brookslde my brow
and throat.
Since we parted a month had passed
To love, n year
Down through the beeches I looked
at last
On the llttlo red gate and the well
sweep near.
I can see It nil now-the slantwise
rain
Of light through the leaves,
The sundown's blase on her window
pane.
The bloom of her roses under the
eaves.
Just the some ss a month before
The house and the trees.
The barn's brown gable, the vine by
the door
Nothing changed but the hives of
bees.
Iieforo thsm. under the garden wall,
Forward and back
Went drearily singing the chore girl
small
Draping each hive with a ahred of t
black.
Trembling, I listened; the summer eun
ltad the chill of snow,
For I kntw she was telling the bees t
01 one
Gone on the journey we all must g!
Then I said to myself; "My Mary
weeps
For the dead today.
Haply her blind old grandslre steeps I
J no fret uud the pain ot his age
away."
But her dog whined low; on the door
way sill,
With his eune to his rhln.
The old mti 11 sat, and the chore girl
still
6ung to the bees, stealing out and !
And the song sho was singing ever
since
la my enr sounds on
"Stay nt home, pretty bees; fly not
hence!
Mistress Mary is dead and gone!"

it is said that the way a woman
takes a compliment stamps her place
In society. A blush denotes the de
butante; a giggle, the silly or unso
phisticated; a brusque protest, the
sensible, but unpolished; but tho quiet,
unelated smile, with a quiet "thank
you," If reply be necessary, unmistak
ably denotes the woman of social
training ,the one accustomed to compliments.
'A PRINCIPLE AT STAKE.
The Standard Oil Company has
been ordered by the people of Astoria
to take its storage tanks from out
the city within one year. This edict
comes from the whole community,
through its legal agent, the common
council, and there remains nothing but
obedience or disobedience to the man
date. The law is plain, the authority
unlmpeached, the popular sanction as
sured; and the issue is strictly up
to the Standad Oil Company. There
are signs of rebellion on every hand,
however, and all the cunning and sur
reptitious methods for which this con
cern is famous the world over, are
beginning to work here in derogation
of this ordpr from the people. That
the Standard Oil Is a much bigger
thing than an ordinary little city like
Astoria Is not to be debated for an
instant; it shatters the will of larger
civic corporations than this with Im
punity and laughs at governments In
finitely greatt-r and strongor than this,
but we believe in the principle of the
government by the majority and hope
that Astoria will Ftick to the creed
and compel observance of its dictum.
One of the active curses of the day
in this country is the dominance of
the commercial regime over the civic
power of the land, and even so small
a lesson as is involved In this case
will have the meat and merit of a
precedent One human life Is worth
Activity is the law of life. Idle
ness is more wearing than work, and
monotony kills more quickly than the
healthful excitement of a busy life.
One must be doing, and there Is much
to be done.
After having been barred for 157

Mrs. John Jacob Astor, Sr., is de
scribed as the social queen of Amer
lea, and her sway has been undls
turbed for thirty years. Her income
Is put down at J2.500.000 a year, but
her resources are practically unllm
lted.
In Russia there are several woman
mayors, and they were elected not out
of gallantry, but simply because they
were considered to be better fitted
than any one else to be Intrusted
with the interests of the community.

Dr. Lorena, the Viennese surgeon
who recently passed some time in the
United States, says that he has found
women inferior in physique in all
other countries save in the United
Slates, where (their physique is so
superb as to make that of the coun
trymen seem Insignificant In proper
tion.
Stick to the farm; don't sell It even
if it does not pay; it gives you a
home, plenty to eat and plenty to wear
and a tight roof over your head. A
foothold upon the soil is what all who
can, should have, if they do not wish
to become like those described by the
wise philosopher quoted. Dead, he yet
speaketh!
The business girl. In theory at
least, should make the best wife. She
knows the worries that beset a man
In business. She understand the val
ue of money, having had to work for
it herself. She has probably learned
to dress neatly and carefully, without
extravagance. She knows by expe
rience the workers need of a quiet
restful home at the day's end. She
has learned In her business career
the necessity of system In all work
She knows the unfairness of loading
the business person with househol
errands. She knows how easily it is
to be detained at the office; there
fore won't fuss if dinner Is kept wait
Ing. She knows that there are big
ger tnings In the universe than the
trifling little personal things that
happen to her each day.

"THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH."
At the Astoria Theater lam night,
the Mack Swain company Presented
'The Village Blacksmith" to a crowd
ed house, and the play gave univer
sal satisfaction. It is an exception
ally strong melodrama, filled with
exciting situations, powerful climaxes
and laughable comedy, and the pro
auction was up to the standard of
this excellent company. Special scen
ery was provided and the presentation
as a whole, left nothing to be desired.
As "Jeannette Logan," a scheming ad
venturess, a woman with a past, Cora
King Swain gave a finished perform
ance, and proved herself an artiste of
ability and versatility; indeed, It was
hard to realize that the unprincipled
adventuress was the sweet and gentle
'Hazel" of the night before. As "Jem
Mason," the hungry tramp, Mark
Swain was simply delightful and ex
ited the risibilities of the au-llence
as long as he was In evidence. Bert
Frank wa san excellent "Tom Logan,"
the blacksmith, and demonstrated that
he Is equally at home either as a vil-
iln or a hero. Alf T. Lay no as "Fred
Armadale," alno made a new dennr-
uro and gave further proof of his
ability by a masterly impersonation
of a thankless role. Wm. Hutchinson.
the old darkey "Mo.se," was su
perb, and the other characters were
competent hands. The same play
111 be repeated tonight, Saturday
nd Sunday nights and Sundny rnatl-ee.
Sells Mora of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy than of All Others
Put Together.
Mr. Thomas George, a merchant at
ML Elgin, Ontario, says: "I have had
the local agency for Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy ever since It wag Intro
duced Into Canada, nnd sell as much
of It as I do of all other lines I have
on my shelves put together. Of the
many dorena sold under guarantee, I
have not had one bottle returned. I
can personally reeommed this medi
cine as I have used It myself nnd given
It to my children nnd always with the
best results." For sale by Frank Hart

I APPEARANCES
Often n person is sized up by his appear
ance; by the tone that surrounds him. And
more often a business house is sized up by
the stationary it uses. A cheap letter
head or a poor bill head gives a mighty
poor first impression and makes business
harder to transact, Good printing costs no
more than poor printing. The first im
pression is half the battle in business.
You wouldn't employ a "sloppy" sales
man; why put up with "sloppy" station
ery, that gives a wrong impression of the
importance of your business. Let us do
your printing and help you to make that
ten strike.
