herself because she believed her race
was slipping ftffny from its religious
faith.

That was the first great shock
Religion had always been lo her a
matter of first consideration. In this
country, it seemed to her, dollars came
first. In her estimate failli outweighed
material things. The religious indif

heavily on her spirit.
Mind you, this girl believed hi her
religion.
Perhaps no one will ever know of
the secret tears shed by this poor
maiden and the secret prayers she o f
fered up— tears for her people, prayers
that they might lie held guiltless of
their neglect o f ancient usages.
Perhaps no one will ever know the
sinking of lier soul as she felt the very
earth slipping beneath her.
And, to add to her suffering, there

Clara Lltlusky’s fidelity to the faith.
The misery o f it all broke her heart.
She yearned for the old home. The

RESENTS AN INSULT.
.Salem, Dec. 12, 1908.
Editors Leader:— The reference
to myself in the Western Oregon
of your city as elected to office by
the “ Sauerkraut Society” would
not be noticed by me, but it is an
insult to the German Americans of
not only Lane county, but the
whole state. 1 am president of
the German American society of
this city, an organization that does
not concern itself about politics,
and that organization had nothing
to do with making me a candidate
for Alderman. I was elected
without being a candidate and
while supporting my opponent
who was endorsed by the churches
and was supported actively by the
Prohibition paper of this city.
It would lie a good thing for
Cottage Grove and for Lane coun
ty and all Oregon if it had more
German Americans, as they are
thrifty, industrious citizens, and
the communities in which they are
numerous will compare favorably
in morals public or private with
any other. The Germans in your
county will be found paying their
bills and their share of public
taxes and supporting good govern
ment under any and all circum
stances. I am proud to be an
American-bom citizen but am also
proud that my parents were Ger
mans who made our country their j
adopted laud.
Very respectfully,
THE WILLING WORKER.
Forty years a#o the following ad
vertisement appeared In a village
newspaper:
W an ted.
A w illin g buy w a n ts w ork.
The boy who paid for that ad. Is
rich now. He says he made his for
tune that day when he advertised.
Which is suggestive.
For It Is true that the man who
makes a fortune makes it more by
• etting his first thousand than by add
ing his last thousand, because he has
takcu the first deelslve step toward
prosperity: he has proved his ability
to succeed.
Opportunity is something. But op
portunity PLU S the MAN who Is
W IL L IN G to USE IT Is more.
When that boy put his first adver
tisement in tlint paper he served no
tice to Ills little world that he proposed
to find his opportunity—and use It. He
was not only willing, hut eager, to
have his chance.
The l>oy got his job. Aud he meas
ured up to It. He held that Job until
a letter one was offered him.
Boy, young man!
Do not inveigh against Providence or
‘•hick*’ or the hardness of the world.
PITU H IN. Even if tin? world does
“ owe you a living,” which Is doubtful,
REMEM BER YOU M UST COLLECT
IT YOURSELF.
In every avenue of life those whose
service is at a premium are those who
are willing to work. By their willing
ness they have made themselves iu-
vnLiable. Whoever employs them feels
lie cannot dispense with their service
without loss.
Because
Willingness to work argues that the
worker will put heart and skill Into
his task. He will master his Job. He
will work Intelligently and zealously.
And so, when the Pla< k time comes,
whoever goes, the willing worker stays.
M ANY
PERSONS
DISCHARGE
THEM SELVES
Everywhere nowadays the cry goes
up from employers, “ Give us capable,
willing helpers.’’
Employers tell us it Is really diffi
cult to find boys and men who will
take n i»crsonal Interest In their work.
Is that true? I f so, what an openlug
for willing workers! Not the sort who
keep their eyes on the eloek. not the
sort who give themselves grudgingly
to the task, not the sort who wve the
least service for the largest wage.
But—what n champ for willing, heart
ful. enthusiastic workers!
The willing worker puts his work
first and his wages last.
Therefore the willing worker—except
In rnre intervals—always Is able to find
work.
