Newspaper Page Textr THE OREGON SCOUT, JONES Jt CHANCEY, Publishers UNION OREGON. A WISE SELFISHNESS. Why Wo Ilnvn a flight to Defend Our. Helve Against llore. Tho gonial "Autocrat of tbo Break-fast-tablo," whoso kindly heart pleads for human wcaknoss always, justifies us in protecting oursolvos against boros, against peoplo who rob us of vitality as well as time, for ho lays down this as professional advlco: "Mark this which I am going to say, for It Is as good as a working professional man's advlco, and costs nothing. It Is hotter to loso a pint of blood from your volns than to havo a norvo trapp'ed. Nobody measures your nervous forco as it runs away, nor bandages your brain and marrow aftor tho oporatlon." Is thoro any moral law that demands wo shall wasto our llfo forces? that wo should allow tho drones to Bap tho strength noodod to fulfill our logitlniato duties? Somo peoplo aro llko slovos thoy oomo empty and go away ompty, and if you should moot thorn tho noxt hour you would find that you could carry on tho uamo conversation on tho samo phi losophy, dcclaro tho samo theories, and thoy would bo now. Should any sonslblo porson nllow himsolf to bo used as a Bocial jumping-jack, tho clown for an idle hour? Somo pooplo will demand uympathy, feeding tholr morbid desires ly drawing on tho vory llfo-hlood of an Othor. Thorocomcstomlnda woman to whom a heavy sorrow had come, who day aftor day called on a nervous, high-strung neighbor, "bocauso sho was so sympa thetic," sho oxplainod, until tho littlo nolghbor foil a victim to norvous pros tration. "I know," said tho sick woman, "I did hor no good, bocauso overy day sho camo back in just tho samo stato of mind. I do not know which wore on mo most, tho being compolcd to listen to tho samo story, or tho constant droad of hor appoaranco, and disgust at my own lack of courage." Tho sorrowing ono was not comforted unto strength, and Sho brought down hor vlotlm as suroly as If pistol or poison had boon tho medium sho usod. The stato doos not rooognizo this mothod of killing as a crlmo, but society doos, though it has not yot found a moasuro for protection Loyond individual effect. "You hoard that Mrs. had a fortuno loft hor, largo onough to koop hor comfortably?" euld ono friond to anothor, speaking of a common acquaintance. "Yos," was tholrosponso, given with animation, "and I'm qulto as glad for hor friends as for Lor. You know wo nevor hoard from hor whon sho was comfortablo only when ttho was in trouble. 1 droaded to havo lior call (and yot I liked hor much), for I know I was doomod to a talo of woo. 1 never hoard hor say a choorful word, and if you tried to mako hor choorful, eho only looked at you roproachfully. A call from her meant a day of exhaus tion or depression. Yob, this monoy is a groat comfort to hor frlonds," was tho close of tho conversation. Why should wo allow a norvo to bo tappod whon thoro Is no gain by tho operation? wo must stand tho onora tlon many timos in llfo to accomplish -a purpose Wo must smilingly submit 10 tho oporatlon again and again, pub Holy and privately; but aro wo bound to endure It when wo havo no purpose, and know that tho rosult is loss, mid loss of that which is most precious and -vaiuanio ouro it is that, sooner r later, wo must grow hardoned If wo throw away tho divlno attributo of sym pathy, H wo wasto tho forces given for tiso. Wo can notprotoot oursolvos from tho fooling, "What is tho uso?" And that which sparklod in tho light of dl vino approval becomos turUd, because that which troubles it is internal, not external; tho outlet Is choked. Wo-aro bound to holp oauh othor, but wo nro not bound to play tho part of Alius and carry a world. Wo can only liolp whoro thoro is rocoptlvlty; wo can only help, in tho truo sense, whoro thoro is u capacity and a doslro for solf- ltolp; and this is as truo in tho social world as in tho philanthropic world Wo rob not only oursolvos, but those who need us, whon wo lavishly spend that which was meant for Invostmont Christian Union.

An Old HnllroiMl .Man Tell Why raj Train Aro Never "Held Up." "Why Is it that tho train robbers novor plunder a pay train?" "Bocauso thoy know tholr roward would ho too insignificant." That is tho way an ox-railroad man put it "Less monoy," ho added, "is carried -on a pay train than on any other kind of train. Somo folks imagino that tho pay of tho employes of tho two great systns terminating hero, aggregating hundreds of thousands monthly, is piled away in tho cars, and is hauled over tho road. "Isn't that tho caso?" "Great Scott, nol Tho .trains would bo robbed boforo they got well out of Sa vannah. Besides, who would bo ablo to keep up with a carload of monoy? It is largely silver, and tho ton-cent pieces and tho nickels and tho coppers would run away with things." . "How is tho business conduotcd, then?" "Easily onough. In fact, thoro is but ono way to properly carry it on. That way Is to draw on tho banks at each city for enough to pay oil until tho noxt city is reached. For instanco, in leaving Savannah over either tho Savannah, Florida & Western railroad or tho Cen tral railroad just enough monoy is taken to pay oir employes, including agents, track hands, operators and others at each of tho stations. This amount l& not vory largo. Tho largest amounts aro paid out in tho citios; for instance, in Macon tho engineers, flremon, con ductors and yard-hands, and others of tho Savannah & Western railroad, aro paid oil ; in Columbus tho Savannah & Western forco is pail off; in Augusta tho employes of tho South Carolina division of tho Central aro paid otr ; thoy samo is truo with the Savannah, Florida & Western railway. By this moans tho largest sums paid out amount to littlo more than a transfer of monoy procured from the banks, through tho paymastor of tho railroad, to tho omployos. Tho sums paid out on tho lino botweon tho headquartors of each division aro small compared to tho amounts, paid out in tho cities.

Tho railroad man related an incident which took place sovoral years ago, I which ho said put matters in a bad light and made tho pay train tempting to train robbors.

Tho figures tho newspaper man gave woro correct, and tho article attracted widespread atten tion. Sovoral officials of tho road wont to tho general manager about tho matter, and began to suggest a remedy for what thoy considered a very bad practice.- Tho gonoral manager explained to them that tho amount of monoy i vrriod on pay trains was small compared to what is carried on tho regular mail and oxpress train, but tho matter was not settled until tho newspaper man pub lished an intnrvlnw u-itli Hm irannnl . manager, giving tho facts and stating-' tho manner in which business was con ducted on pay trains. Tho railroader said, howovor, that tho dangor of pay train robbory is vory slight. Tho rob bers havo posted thomsolvos about theso matters. Savannah (Ga.) News. HUMAN HAPPINESS.
