If cheerful men were selling for
ten cents apiece, and I had a
thousand dollars to throw away, I
would"nt buy one of them. I used
to have a positive reverence for ' a
smiling, grinning, bland-voiced
man. Many a time I've met Smith
or Green or White on my way
down town, and it would jump my
soul a foot high to hear him call
eut:
"Well, my boy, beautiful morn
ing, eh? Isn't everything just
lovely? Why, I seem to be float
ing in midair! Why, sir, 1 wouldn't
trade this earth for all the heavens
ever preached about by the. min
isters. Have a cigar? Xo? Then
have a drink? Xo? Dear mel but
what can I do to brighten you up
and make you feel like an angel
or roller-skates?''
And I'd stand off and look at
him and wonder if the land be
yond the skies did really contain
a happier soul. Ah! the old hyp
ocrite! I got to know in after
years that his children were afraid
of him, his wife trembled as he
entered the door, and that it was
his daily habit to growl out as he
left the doer:
"Wood! I bought 2 worth

week. If that's gone we'll
without until Saturday. You
the most extravagant woman
town. I believe you burn it
in
up
to spite me. Soap! 'Didn't I get a
bar last Saturday? If you let the
children play horse with the soap
you must take the consequences."
Your habitually cheerful man is
an old fraud and liar. He is well-
dressed, while his children are the
rag-bags of the neighborhood. He
has a dollar for cigars when his
wjfe wears a bonnet six years old.
He passes for a whole-souled fel
low with the public, but is a fault
finder at home. jf
I want to see a man grin when
theres anything to grin at, but
when Green gets up in the morn
ing and declares he hasn't had a
meal fit to eat for the last three
months, and that ho can't see why
his wife is aljvays groaning around
and his children always whining,
he has no business to stop the first
man he meets, with a smile clear
back to his ears, and shout eut:
"Why, old fel, how solemn you
-do look! Brace up, man life is

1 used to reverence Green. He
had a grip of the hand like a car
penter's vice he had a voice as
bland as June he'd make a con
sumptive believe that nothing
more than a sore, heel was the
matter. I used to lie in ambush
for hirn just to hear his heartv
voice and see his serene counten
ance, and I'd go about my day's
work wondering what sort of a
guardian angel he had. T found
out one day when a policeman had
to go m and stop him from beat-
injr his wife.
When you find a man who can
grin over the servant girl's jump
ing out at an hour's notice, with
wife flat in bed and the children
having a scarlet fever look around
the eyes, don't you go off on a
fishing trip with him. When a
man can soar among angels with
bill collectors ringing his door
bell last week's grocery bill un
paid the children wanting shoes
the rent running behind, and
his wife coughing all night long,
he's an infernal old fraud, and
ought to be kicked. When a

wife, as a sort of morning tonic be

is troubled because you haven't

shoulder, keep your hand on any
stray half dollar you happen to

enough to steal chicken broth from

Editor Astekiax:
The financial side of the liq-nii
trade seems the strongest arMi
tnent in its favor, that is, the in
come from license and taxes to
the government; and a prohibi
tionist rarelv meets it without a
sufficient seasoning of moral salt.
I shall endeavor to meet it on its
own basis.
When a hard drinking working
man quits drinking, it is generally
admitted that "he is money in
pocket;" why should it not hold
good if a town stops likewise?
"What is beneficial to the' parts
cannot be detrimental to the
whole. If a town of Astoria's
size, 5,000 men, has 2,000 laboring
men who pay out for drinks an
average ol 50 per man in a year,
after the liquor business is prohib
ited and the 2,000 are law-abiding,
which is not at all improbable,
where will the 100,000 go to?
Even if we admit that the remain
ing 2,000 would break the law,
"drink just the same," and the
1,000 never drank, these 100,000
woulgo far toward paying our
20 merchants some of their old P.
& L. accounts, or build and fur
nish homes through the medium of
our B. & L. association, because
the money is here already, earned
with timber or fish.
Can the merchants afford to pay
the ihcreased tax? ff their dead
head bills are paid, in a few, say
five years, this accumulated cap
ital of 6100,000 a year, will at
present tax levy, pay more to the
city than is now paid by license.
The problem is, how ought this
money be spent?

At The Cascade Locks.risis
Work has been resumed at the
Cascade locks, and those in charge
claim that they have 240 men at
work. The lower end of the canal
is filled with sand, which is being
taken out, says the Wasco Sun.
A gang of about twenty men are
employed in recutting some of the
stone w'hich was cut several jears
ago, and another gang is putting
up somebuildings and repairing
others. The trouble with the
work at the Cascades is that none
of it is ever completed, and every
fall it uses up nearly all the ap
propriation to put tilings in order
for the next high water.
