A Gathering Of Significance
For Men
The 11th annual convention of
the Oregon-Idaho Young Men's
Christian Associations to be held
in Eugene, December 2nd, to
4th, is of more than usual signi
ficance' as it marks the comple
tion of the first decade of organ
ized state work in this d strict.
The first convention was held in
Eugene in December, 1900. In
these ten years the Association
movement has shown marked
progress throughout these two
states, the increase being from
two hundred to six hundred
per cent in its various activities
of work. A review of this pro
gram will be made in detail at
the Eugene Convention.
The magnificent fifty thousand
, dollar building of the Eugene
Association which has been com
pleted during the year will be
head quarters of the convention
and is typical of the progress be
ing made in other cities. The
Directors of the Eugene Associa
tion and the Eugene Commercial
Club extend a hearty invitation
to the business men from other
cities to attend. Free entertain
ment will be provided for visitors
in the homes of the city.
The program is a strong one.
Mr. E. L. Shuey, advertising
manager of the Lowe Brothers
Paint Company, of Dayton, Ohio,
is one of the principal speakers !
and leaves his own interests for
over a monthulthcut remuner
ation to attend the convention.
Mr. Chas. R. Drum, one of the
the Secretaries of the Inter
national Committee, will speak
at the men's meeting in the Eu
gene theatre on Saturday after
noon. He recently spent several
weeks among the men on the
Panama Canal and is a speaker
of great force. Of unusual in
terest will be the stereopticon
address on Saturday evening by
Mr. George B. Hodge, Educa
tional Secretary of the Interna
tional Committee, ' showing the
kind of practical education which
is carried on in the night schools

Story o( a Twirler and Tackier
By HUDSON C. EASTON

"Johnny." said I'eter Weatherbee to
his son when his boy left him in the
mountains of Colorado to go east to
college. "I want you to study your
klarnin" bard aud don't give too much
of your time to those games the boy
play at cpllese. Out here when an
eddeoated young man onct gets a start
he can top those who haven't the ed
deeotiou. Now study bard und let the
other things go."
When Johnny returned four years
later his father was very much dis
appointed in his record, tie had taken
no honors, stood uear the foot of his
class, but wits the athletic hero of the
season. As u twirler he could send a
ball that few could hit; as a tackier
no man could get past him. Johnny's
father was owner and editor of the
Rocky Mountain Globe. But the paper
during Johnny's sojourn at college had
been running down. A rough element
had come into the town, which had
started with fine prospects, and so dis
turbed the condition of things that the
better people were leaving, while no
new respectable settlers were coming
in.
"Father." said Johnny, "it seems to
me that it's the duty of an editor to
make it hot for evil wherever his paper
is located."
"And get shot for doing it."
"Betterjie shot than let the other fel
low take the bread and butter away
from you. If the town dies our'paper
dies."
Peter Weatherbee consented that hla
son should write articles against the
evil disposed, thus awakening the bet
ter class of citizens against them.
Johnny began by Inveighing against
the indiscriminate carrying of weap
ons. ,Then he attacked certain men
who ran gambling houses, with others
who made offices of the said resorts.
"Johnny." said his father, "seems to
me you've weakened yourself. You
can't carry a revolver since you've
come down on the practice, and these
men you've been larrupin' '11 shoot you
down like a doe."
"They won't go for me, father. I'm
only an understrapper. They'll go for
you. at least till they find out that I'm
the man that's after them."
The next morning Johnny put his
desk in a room through which all must
go to his father's office. He had hard
ly got settled when one of the parties
attacked in that day's issue of the
paper came up the stairs.
"Where's old Weatherbee?" he ask
ed. "I'm goiu' to kill the"-
"In there." interrupted Johnny.
The man was opening the door when
ny had put "out of the fight." a num
ber of r-irbtens cnllul on him and told
him that they would see him through
what else miglit be In store for him.
Johnny said to them:
"While at college I prepared my
self for my begiuning here. But I
reckon that, having got rid of the
three worst men in the town, the oth
ers will be cowed."
And so It proved. Johnny, having
paved the way for his usefulness, rose
rapidly In the esteem of his fellow
citizens and Is now one of the promi
nent men of the state. "
