I believe thnt sooner or later, there will come to every man, dream of Ambition. They may be covered with the sloth of habit or with the pretense of humility: they may come In dim, shadowy visions that feed the eye, like the glories of cfn ocean sunrise; but you may be sure that they will com; even before one is aware, the bold, adventuress goddess Ambition, whose dower Is Fame, will be toying with the feeble heart. And she pushes her ventures with a bold hand; she makes timidity strong and weakness valiant. Ike Marvel. THE DCTIES Or A CITIZEN. Very few people cor.slaer the pub lic service as being In any way a mat ter of personal Interest. The idea seems to prevail that In matters pertaining to government af fairs, whether of the city, county or state, that It Is unnecessary to take any part. Men solicit and receive votes for positions In public offices who are not considered able to hold similar positions In private enter prises. The man who carefully weighs the character and ability of an applicant for a position In his private business hardly gives a moment's considera tion to the ufflce seeker, but votes along political lines whether the can didate Is fit for the position or not. When a man applies for Job of a business man he Is not asked whether he is a republican, democrat or popu list, hut Is closely questioned about his experience and ability to perform the duties of the position, and if any dvuht exists of such ability, he is promptly rejected. Heretofore when the candidates were the choice of a small machine controlling the affairs of the political parties no choice was left to the peo. pie but this is now changed by the direct primary law and the people should assert their rights and not only that, but should remember it Is the duty of each Individual to carefully consider the merit of tne men and to choose as he would In deciding a matter connected with his own busi ness. In this way a higher grade ot service will be guaranteed and the af fairs of our county and state govern ment handled with the same atten tion and care given to private Insti tutions. The candidates are now elected by the people, are responsible to the people and should be selected on their ability to perform the serv ice required. OIISTIUTTIXr; PANAMA work. The country at large, understand ing somewhat f the sources of the current attempts to discredit and thwart the president's policies, will not be surprised at anything that may be said regarding what has thus far been done on the Isthmus of Panama, says the Review of Reviews. Three facts may be asserted: (1) We have entered upon a gigantic undertaking; (2) we have made the president re sponsible for thlB; (3) there have been no mistakes that need arouse suspicion or cause anxiety. The orig inal form ut the canar commission . ft 1 1 1 .Ift i ..s 'J I , was not well adapted to produce re sults. The president reorganized the commission in such a way as to make It more effective. He took steps to provide for a Btnble currency on the isthmus, because this was a necessary business proceeding. There are ob structionists In the senate who criti cise the president for having done these things well, because they hold that he did them without specific au thority of law. What the president has been trying to do has been to ex ercise good faith the authority con ferred upon him to proceed with the work nt l'anama. And he hus taken It for granted that the greater au thority Included the less. In other words, since the law hus given him full authority to proceed, It Is fair to assume thnt this authority Includes the right to do those things in detail that are Indispensable to the mal.i un dertaking. There will be canal Inves tigations and Interminable criticism at Washington, but the public may rest assured thnt President ll.iose velt. Secretary Taft, Chief Engineer Stevens and Chairman Shouts of the canal commission, with Judge lia goon as minister to Panama and gov ernor of the cnnal zone, are doln;? their work with rare Intelligence and fidelity. The people of the United States are very lucky, indeed, to have this canal undertaking In such compe tent hands. Congress has a perfect right to investigate and criticise, and it has unquestionably the power both to obstruct the canal work and stop It altogether. But the people of the country should understand that there is no ground whatsoever for serious criticism, and that If the canal work does not proceed henceforth with great rapidity, It will be congress and not the president that should be blamed. In the not very distant fu ture there will be a special message to congress dealing with the question whether or not the canal should be sea-level or be built with locks. DON'T CHEAT YOl'KSELF. Throughout life, In this age of competition, struggles and dishonesty, you are bound to be cheated often. But don't cheat yourself. Self-deception Is responsible for more than three-quarters of the so called "unexplained failures," says the San Francisco Examiner. The clerk cheats himself. You work In a store, ur elsewhere as a clerk. Your success really de pends absolutely upon yourself. If you have not reached success, nine-tenths of the blame Is at least due to yourself. Do you place nine-tenths or ten tenths of the blame on some one else? If so, you cheat yourself, and pre vent your growth. Don't Imagine that you are kept down by somebody's Jealousy or Ill will. Don't imagine that you are kept down by lack of an employer's appre ciation. There are unappreciatlve employ ers, and there are disagreeable super iors. But they can't keep you down unless you let them, 'and help them. Hard work even if It doesn't seem to pay at first will make you go ahead because it will make you a better and more useful worker. The man who gets ancad does so because he uses his energy In work, not in thinking that he is Ill-treated. The, writer deceives himself. He imagines, when people don't read him, that he writes "above their heads," or that there Is a conspiracy against him. There isn't any conspir acy against anybody In the big pub lic which controls success and failure. Occasionally, the very great man writes for a world not yet born, but the average man who thinks that he Is the victim of Jealousy or of public stupidity j simply cheating himself in the usual way. Don't accept failure as proof of su periority. Take It as proof of failure and as a needed rebuke. Among all the writers the most to be pitied are those that gather in foolish little cliques, praise each other, deceive each other, and cheat themselves. If you talk to a man who doesn't listen, you realize that you don't In terest him. If you write and the public doesn't read, you ought to know that you don't Interest the. public. f!o to writing In some other way, or A WINDOW FILL and a store full of everything worth the having In apparatus and appli ances for Indoor and outdoor athletics will greet your eye at Frazlcr's. Whether your wants call for dumbells, Indian clubs, golf, baseball, football, or other exercising paraphernalia, we suit you to the proverbial T. If you haven't time to call, write, telephone, telegraph or send a messenger. FRAZIER'S Book and Stationery Store go to digging post holes. Don't cheat yourself. The old Greeks expressed a great truth In these words: "Know thyself." This Inscription on the temple of Apollo and Delphi said In other words, "Don't cheat yourself." Young man and young woman, the most Important thing that you can do Is know yourself especially to know and admit your weaknesses and shortcomings. Through self-deception, misunder standing of your own possibilities und limitations you can keep yourself back Indefinitely. Just bar out from your vocabulary and your talk all the familiar self cheating expressions such as: "I am not appreciated. "Everybody Is down on me. "Some people have wonderful luck. "I wish I had So and So's chance. "It's better to be born lucky than rich," etc. Make up your mind that In your case you won't admit any excuse for failure. Don't underestimate your own abil ity. There Is some truth In the Ger man saying, "Nur die Lumpen slnd beschelden," which means, "Only blockheads are modest." There Is some truth in It, but It Is not all truth by any means. Many a fool Is vain, and self-deceptive. Many a man of great power Is modest to the last degree. If you can recognize your own powers. Do so. It Is well to know your strength as well as your weak ness. But don't fool yourseir. Don't make any weak excuses. If another man runs faster than you, It's because he Is faster than you or tries harder. Nine young men out of 10 In the game of life talk as they do In the game of billiards. If they are beaten it Is the fault of the cue, or the table, or of luck. Never their own. When women don't know how io manage their housekeeping It is us ually the fault of the servants, th9 eternal servant girl problem. But the woman who knows how to treat serv ants well usually knows how to get them and to keep them. Don't cheat yourself even In such, small matters at that. Don't cheat yourself, at any stage in your career. If you succeed a little don't cheat yourself Into the belief that you are already a great man that Is fatal. And If you haven't succeeded at all, don't cheat yourself Into thinking that it is some one else's fault. Put the blame on your own shoul ders It is better to decide against yourself too much than too much In favor of yourself. Play squarely with yourself, md Fate will play squarely with you. SUPPRESS THE Till . Such Instances as the attempted kidnapping of Maud Shevk, formerly of this city. In Portland this week, are what drives the East Oi'-rgon'an to such bitter denunciations of thugs, tinhorns, "boosters" and all such ac companiments of the wide-open town. The occupation of these vampires Is to lie In wait for some Innocent per son whom they may drag down, If not by persuasion, then by force. Portland Is not the only rendez vous of such creatures as attempted to kidnap this girl. Every small city In the country is cursed with Its quota of such. They leer ut women who are forced to pass the public streets, remark about every girl who Is forced to come within the range of their vision and lie In wait to wreck any life that may come within their clutches. It may be your daughter or your son, next. There Is no way of know ing where or when such creatures will ply their trade. The thing to do is to keep them moving. No self-respecting town should permit them to find one night's lodgment within Its gates. What is the "business" they create in a town compared to such crimes as this? THE AD MAN WROTE IT I P. The society reporter happened to be absent, and all the other men wero chasing up assignments, and so when word came Into the office that a swell wedding wan about to take place, the city editor was In quandary. But there wns a young man attached to the advertising staff who had scored numerous hits as a clever writer of business announcements. Tho city editor thought he'd do all right, and accordingly the advertisement writer trotted off to the wedding. When he finally turned In his copy to the "old man," that worthy indi vidual made a fine display .f his ob jurgatory vocabulary, keeping up the flow of epithets for about 30 minutes, and very seldom repealing himself. The advertising man had outdone him self In his description of the affair, making a particularly billllant spurt in his reference to the bride's toilet. which rend as follows: "The bride was attired In rich and elegant material, worth double the price asked. The front ot her dress 'was of white Brussels net over white satin, the net embroidered In seed pearls, former price $18.75; our price 39.39. The train was of white satin, embroidered round the bottom In an elegant design of the pearls; plain white satin yoke, trimmed with three rows of fine pearls, and the full sleeves were made over very close nnd met the $1.50 gloves (marked down to 84 cents) at the elbows. The waist of an elegant design, finished In er mine, good valeu at J2, at our store only for 1.34. The costume did not follow any conventional model, but was extremely becoming to the ma ture bride of 30, and was very fitting for her ripe beauty. She wore an un hemmed tulle veil, purchased from our bargain counter, to-right of front entrance, first floor up marked down to 75 cents. "Those contemplating matrimony should Inspect our store.

Taps has been sounded for Gen. Joseph Wheeler, hero of two wars. His passing removes a picturesque figure from the stage of life. The al lotted years of man he had almost lived, for in next August would huve been his "Oth anniversary, but he was of that character which "age cannot wither." Years, ease and contented activity seemed to have nothing to do with him. so bright and undimmed was his spirit. The public has become affection ately interested in General Wheeler, especially since the war with Spain. When the ex-confederate cavalry leader of the early simies voluntee'ed to give his services under the flag of a reunited country, In 1898, his actlo'i was hailed with delight by the entire American people, north and south. His personality was such as to at once fix upon him the attention not only of the men on the firing line In Cuba, but, through them, of the entire pub lic. Bays the Denver Post. Many stories are told by Spanish war veterans Illustrating the nerve, Impetuosity and self-forgetting patri otism of the old fighter. One of them describes how, when traveling through an unknown country after landing In Cuba, and on search for a fight. Gen. Wheeler, unable to trust the treacherous guides of the country, climbed a tall tree to make for him self a lookout. He succeeded In finding the trail he wanted, coming down from his airy perch without the least self-consciousness, or Idea of any infraction of dignity on his part. He had obtained whnt he wanted. He knew exactly where he was, a most stern necessity with the commanding officer of an army in a strange coun try. Another reminiscence concerning Gen. Wheeler Is that of his leadership on the field of San Juan. Being the senior field officer, he was In close touch with the fighting Americans on that day; he was everywhere at once and very much In evidence there.

RTKRS, M many members of his command, even enlisted men, heard the general rally ing a detachment of soldiers, with these words: "Forward! Forward! Glve it to the Yanks" Even in the stress of opening battle the blue-clad officers and men looked at each other and smiled. With the first whiff of battle smoke and the sound of guns, the soul of the old fighter had gone back to the days of his youth when he rallied his brown ranks to the on slaught upon the boys In blue. Gen, Wheeler himself never denied this story; he only laughed when he heard It; his loyalty was so deep and was so clearly shown thnt no words were needed In his case. Like most brave . men, "Fighting Joe" Wheeler was as tender, loving and compassionate as any man could be. He was beloved by all who were associated with him and carried the love of the nation with him to his death. Over him the bugles will Blng the soldier's requiem.

If a man has liisiilliclcnt food he loses strength. If lie has no food he dies. Fond is con verted Into nutrition through the stom ach and bowels. It depends on the strength o( the stomach to what extent food euten Is digested and assimilated. People can die of starvation w ho have, abundant food to eat, when the stomach and its assoclute organs of dlgiwtion and nutrition do not tierform their duty. Thus the stomach Is really tlin vital or gan of the body. Jf the stomach ls"weak" the body will be weak ulso, because it is upon tho stomach the body relies for its strength. And as the body, considered as a whole. Is made up of its several mem bers and organs, so tho weakness of the body as a consequence of "weak" stom ach will be distributed among the or gans which compose the body.
