FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1911.
SHALL THE CITY FUT ON A
CLEAN DRESS?
Who suggested clean-up-day?
Don't all speak at once; perhaps
most of us are like ye editor and
would rather see "Goerge"do it,
at least on occasions when a day
was set apart to make a clean-!
up, most of us waited for the j
other fellow to get out and do
the work.
One old citizen remarked in
our presence, the other day,
that in twenty years he had not
seen the streets along the side
walks so grown up in grass and
wild rose bushes, etc., and he
seemed to think it was about
time for a change.
Now he did not include the
whole town in his denunciation
of the carelessness on thepaitof
property owners and renters,
for he remarked favorably of the
neatness of a certain yard kept
by one of Monmouth's ladies.
Well, we presume that some
thing ought to be done, but
most of us are so busy chasing
anything that makes a noise like
a dollar, from morning until
night, that it is a task to look
alter the streets and other prop
erty surrounding our homes,
and if "George" could he in
duced to relieve us what a coin
fort it would be.
Hut come to think of it there
is a law in Oregon, or at least it
is so said, which prohibits men
from getting something for
nothing and if there is no such
law in Oregon, there is one in
corporated in the immutable
laws of Dirty which declares
that nothing shall be had ex
cept by sacritice, and we con
clude that if our city is cleaned
of the accumulations that have
came to us as a heritage of ili
ac! ion and carelessness, some of
us will have to hustle around
and do it for ' George" won't.
The thistle lias found lodge
ment in vacant lots and streets,
and the wild rose llourishes and
grows along the sidewalks to the
detriment of clothing as more
than one person can testify, and,
well what are we going to do
about it? Don't all answer at
once.
BLUNT ANDREW JACKSON.

Hickory's" Caustic Advice
Jamen Buchanan.
Stories of Andrew Jackson ure likely
to be pointed and to have a practical
application, as do Hi" stories toid ot
Franklin. In Mr .1. W. Forney's "An
ecdoles of I'ulillc Men" there Is veil
a story as It was told by .lames
Kueliiinnii nl his own inlile. AlttXMiu'ti
It contained fl reproof from the presi
dent to one who was to succeed him.
it la said to have been n favorite story
at that board
Shortly after Mr rtuclianan's return
from Knssla In ls.'il. to the court of
which country he had been Kent by
Jaekson in ISI',2. and Immediately fol
lowing his election to the senate he
called upon "Old Hickory" with a fair
English lady whom he desired to pre
sent to the head of the American nn
Uon.
leaving her In ttie reception room
downstairs, he uscended to the presl
dent's private quarters, where he
found Cenoral .faekson uiishaved. un
kempt. In his dressing gown, with his
slippered feet on the fender, before H
blazing wood fire, smoking ft corncob
pipe of the old southern pattern.
Me stated his object, and lieneral
Jackson said that lie would be very
glad to meet the lady whom Mr
Buchanan desired to present.
Mr. Huchanau was always careful of
his personal appearance and In some
respects was a sort of masculine Miss
Frlbbp. addicted to spotless cravats
and huge collars, rather proud of a
foot small for a man of his large stat
ure and to the last of his life what the
ladles would call "n very good figure."
Having Just returned from n visit to
the fashionable circles of the contl
nent after years of thorough Inter
course wiih the eticptette of one of the
stateliest courts In Knrope. he was
somewhat shocked nt the idea of the
president meeting the eminent Kngllsli
lady In such a guise and ventured to
nsk If (Jeneral Jackson did not intend
to change his ntttre Thereupon the
old warrior rose, with his long pipe In
his hand, and, deliberately knocking
the aslies out of the bowl, said to his
friend:
nuchanan, I want to give yon n lit
tle piece of advice, which I hope yon
will remember. I knew a man once
who made a fortune by attending to
his own business. Tell the lady I will
see her presently "
The man who became president In
1S..VT was fond of saying that this re
mark of Andrew Jackson humiliated
him more than any other rebuke be
had ever received
He walked downstairs to meet the
Indy In his charge, and In n very short
time President Jackson entered the
room, dressed in a full suit of black,
cleanly shaved, with his stubborn
white hair forced back from his fore
head, and. advancing to the beautiful
visitor, he greeted her with almost
kingly grace.
As she left the White House she stld
to her escort, "Your republican presl
dent Is the royal model of a gentleman."

Napoleon's Tributs to Frederick.
When, after the battle of .leim. Na

Potsdam, which contains the mortal
remains of the Prussian kings. The
Repulcher of Frederick the Great occu
pied a prominent site lu the mauso
leum. Wheu entering the latter Na
poleon uncovered his head and went
directly up to the sarcophagus of the
noted warrior. For a moment the
conqueror stood still, seemingly ab
sortx'd lu deep thought Then with
the forefinger of his right baud he
w-ote the word "Napoleon" In the dust
of the huge stone casket and, turning
to his marshals, said:
"(Jentlenien. tf he were living 1 would
