THINGS NOT TO FORGET Don't forgot to speak a good word for your town or for your neighborhood when opportunity gives you a chance. If a word will encoruage your boy or girl, or some other per fon's boy or girl, or anyone else don't forget to utter that word. If you hear some one enunier ating the faults of a neighbor, see if you connot call out the good qualities of the person spo ken of, and don't forget that the same person will discuss your weaknesses the first opportunity that offers. When your consent is neces sary to legalize some questiona ble business, to continue the sa loon for instance, don't forget that morally you are responsible for your action, and that some time, some where you must give strict account for your steward ship, or in other words, for that which you have sanctioned. f -II 1 ' i 1 oooji vm'gon win ne in ine midst of another political cam paign and the prohibition quest ion will be a prominent feature to be discussed and passed upon by the public; the oft repeated assertion that "there. is more in toxicating liquors sold under I L : . ' .1 nroiuniuve measures man is (old where there is no prohibi tion, will most likely greet you but don't forget that such is not true, for if it were, brew ers, distillers and wholesale deal ers would not spend their mon ey to defeat prohibition. Name them as you please, but don't mistake them for fools. When the "blind pig" is held up for your inspection, don't forget that you are not respons ible for any evil arizing there from unless you are engaged in either running or hiding an an imal of that description. Disagreeable Things There are some people you can not be with for half an hour but you feel cheerful and comforted. There are other people you can not be with ten minutes before you feel miserable. They do not mean to disturb you. but they annoy you to the bone. They gather up all the yams which the gossips spin, and peddle it out. They gather up all the adverse criticism about your person, about your business, about your home, about your church, and they make your ear the funnel into which they pour it. They laugh heartily when they tell you, as though it was a good joke, and you laugh, too outside. If you are pale in appearance they will say, "How bad you lxik a-a h! not long for this world." You greet them with a hilarious "good morning," and they come buzz ing at you with some depressing information. It is astonishing how many people in this world perfer to say disagreeable tilings and prefer to write disagreeable things. -Corvallis Republican. . By. HOWARD OTIS. (Copyright. ISO, by American Press Asso ciation. Bbe and ber husband lived In the next Sat above wine, und I pitied ber. How she could eudure to live with a man who kept such Irregular hours I could not Imagine. I should ratber say regular hours, for he seldom came In till morning. It would be 3 o'clock and sometimes 4 o'clock when be passed my floor. I would bear a door open above, and at times when my own door stood ajar I could bear a kiss of welcome. After that there would be moving about above, and sometimes a ripple of femiulne laugh ter, never a scolding word, escaped from tbelr apartments. Often In summer, when doors and windows were left open to admit air, 1 could bear the rattle of dishes, the drawing of a cork, the cliuk of glasses and kuew the couple were having a supper, together. I remember one night when I could smell the odor of some savory dish. I got up, dresHed myself, went out to a restauraut and got a dozen oysters, with a bottle of ale. But it was ouly my stomach that was appeased, not my heart, and 1 yearned for such an angel as lived in the flat above me aud thought what a different bustmud I would uinke her. Surely she must have hud something of the bohemliin lu ber nature, and above all. 1 wuutcd for a wife a wo man of that kind. I pitied those men whose wives must always remain at home and make their husbands misera ble unless they are always at borne too. What a Jewel a woman must be who could receive her husband at all hours of the morning after be bad spent nearly the whole night carous ing or playing poker at his club, give biiu a loving kiss und cook a supper for him! And when this Is kept up night after ulht what must the en during amiability of thut woman be? One day 1 left my room Just In time to meet her on the landing. 1 lifted my hut aud moved aside for her to pass, taking at the same time a good long look at her fare. It was as fresh as If she were not awakened every morulng by ber brutal husband. It was not sueb a face as 1 hud expected to see. I bud fancied It would con tuin a devil-may-care expresslou com mot) with liolieniian women, ller fea tures, on the coutrnry. were Intellectu al, with a trace of seriousness in them. lhen it occurred to me that with such a htiNband bow could she help being serious. It was a wouiler that she did not show truces of suffering. She was going upstulrs; 1 was going down. Thut was the first und ouly glimpse I got of her. One morning I did not hear the hus band come in at the usual bour, and the next day a doctor's biiguy drove up to the front door. The doctor went up to their tint. lie came every day for awhile; tlieu a hearse stopped at the door, and I knew thut the poor woman would not have longer to suffer the Irregularities of a brutal husband. She never returned to the flat. Some eighteen months afterward, while at an evening party. I saw her standing chatting with the hostess. 1 recognized her at once. How could 1 help recognising her since I had car ried that one brief glimpse I bud got or ner in tny Heart ever since? in a moment 1 wus sidling up to the hostess and received the coveted Introduction. 1 refrained from telling the widow thut I bad lived beneath ber aud was aware of bow she bad been obliged to sit up night after night waitlug for that husband. I didn't wish to awak en painful memories. I Infinitely pre ferred that she should think she was meeting me for the first time. The hostess urruuged for a more than casuitl acquaintance between me aud the widow. I saw much of her. There was nothing of the bohemliin about her. Indeed, she seemed to have domestic tastes. Nevertheless I want ed her. and I did my best to win ber. All this while I kept tu the back ground my knowledge of ber past aud my surmises concerning her. In time she consented to become my wife. I hud put off so long telling her that I hud known of her former domestic life that I resolved to defer doing so till Immediately after our marriage. In deed, 1 wished to make au exerlment. Would she endure as much from me as from ber first husband? I proposed to put ber to the test. On our return from the honeymoon I told her that 1 desired to visit a former bachelor chum. She assented. At 3 In the morning I opened my front door and went upstairs. I expected to see my wife's bedroom door open and feel her arms about my neck. What was my disappointment to find that the door remained closed: I opened It and en tered. My wife was sound asleep. I should have considered myself for tunate not to receive a dressing. Rut I did uot. I was angry. 1 made so much noise purposely that finally I woke her up. "Pretty late hour this." she said, "for the day after the full of the honeymoou. Could not you make less noise and permit me to sleep?" This wns too much. 1 told ber bow I had often in the past beard ber hus band go home at thut lute hour and how she had received him. I. who had taken what was left of a chilled heart, Insteud of getting a kiss or n hot sup per received only complaint. She lis tened to me In some surprise and when I bad finished sold: "You gander.' My first husbaud was the editor of a morning newspaper." Tha Herring. A peculiar feature In the herring trade Is that an exceptionally large catch during one season has no effect whatever upon the next year's supply, also, large as Is man's consumption of herrings, naturalists any the number killed by fishermen Is quite Insignifi cant as compared with the quantity destroyed every year by shorks. por poises, cod. dogfish, ling and other flsh, each of which must have Its dally meal of from one to two score her rings, to say nothing of the sea birds, which practically live oo surface feed ing fishes. Herrings are not at all a modern article of diet A vast com merce In them was carried on lu north ern Euroe all through the dark and middle ages. The herring's chief food consists of minute organisms, which It strains from the water by Its gills, but It also eats worms and at certain seo- sons its own young, sprats aud sand eels.
