Expectant youngster! are al­
ready calling the attention of
fond parents to the importance
o f early Christmas shopping.
Uncle John D. and the electric
light people mast be getting a
lot o f solid com fort these long,
dark nights that we are now
haring.
Newberg has a lyceum course
that deserves the patronage o f
the people. The second number
will be given December 5 by
William Sterling Battis, w h o in­
terprets the stories o f Charles
Dickens.
Since the paving o f North Meri­
dian street is not t o be com ­
pleted until s p r in g , arrange­
ments should be made so that
people com ing into tow n from
the north w ith teams can cross
over t o Edw ards street and get
in that w a y .

Since the women folks are now
about as g o o d as the men in the
eyes of the Oregon law, why
don’t some w om an get into the
scrap for the postoffice? New­
berg has plenty o f wom en w ho
are entirely competent t o hold
the position. •
The Oregonian is tw enty years
behind the times. The city o f
D ayton held an election M onday
and the women voted. The fol­
low in g m orning the Oregonian
said editorially: “ Mrs. Ella Har­
ris, o f D ayton, has cause o f
pride, for she is the first Oregon
w om an t o vote.” W omen have
been votin g at the annual city
elections in Newberg evCr since
the city w as incorporated, more
than tw enty years ago. At times
there have been dissenters am ong
the "men folks” when the ma­
jo r ity has been against pet can-
' didates and pet measures, but
the little m atter o f women v o t­
ing is such a com m on feature of
the city elections in Newberg
that it makes a Newberger smile
t o read the big spiel from Day-
ton in the news columns o f the
Oregonion, with the accom pany­
ing editorial.
'The reproduction o f “ Custer’s
Last Stand,” given at the Gem
on M onday and Tuesday, was
very realistic and calculated to
give one a rather vivid idea of
the horrors o f war. W’hen these
series o f pictures were taken, the
government is said to have fur­
nished a thousand soldiers o f the
regular arm y tor the fray, and
the Indians w h o took part were
the real “ unwashed” native sons
and daughters right off the near­
by C row Agency. On the Fourth
of July, 1876, at a monster Cen­
tennial celebration in the city o f
Indianapolis, the writer heard
Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman
deliver a speech. The news of
the Custer massacre had just been
received and with heated blood
and fiery eye Sherman told o f the
tota l annihilation of Custer and
his little band o f brave men, and
closed by saying that if the Presi­
dent would turn the Indians
over to the wardepartm ent they
w ould soon make good Indians
o f them. This, however, was
said in the heat o f the moment
and the statement received but
few cheers from those w ho heard
it, for all these years it has been
a well recognized fact that the
Indians in practically every out­
break they have made, have,
from their point o f view, had
g ood grounds tor retaliation
against unfair and unjust treat­
ment on the part o f their pale
faced brothers.
A HOOSIER CAMP FIRE
While the editor o f the Graphic
was m aking a visit a few weeks
a g o about the home where he
was born, and where he went to
district s c h o o l , in t h e old
“ H oosier” state, he was favored
by being able to meet his tw o
older brothers, w h o reside in
Kansas, and we tramped over
the old farm and lived over again,
for the time, the days when we
were boys together.
A nephew living on an adjoin­
ing farm had anticipated our
coming, and had a huge pile o f
logs made in the center o f a tri­
angle made by three great beech
trees, with spreading branches
and splendid foliage ofleaves tint­
ed a golden yellow and red by the
frost. T h e neighborhood for
miles around had been invited in,
and when the shades of night had
gathered the log heap was fired,
and it was a jo lly good time
everybody had.
Old schoolmates that we had
not. seen for thirty-five years
came to greet us and talk o f old
times. The log heap blazed
brightly and gave us good cheer.
Chicken was fried, coffee made
and such a spread as was made
on the tables that had been im­
provised w as equal t o the old
time feast for harvesters. It was
a clear, frosty, m oonlight night
and just cold enough to make
the great bonfire enjoyable, as it
threw out the heat for forty
feet or more in every direction.
Everybody gave us the glad
hand and a hearty good cheer,
and the time was all to o short
to get all said that was in our
hearts, as we mingled w ith tbe
grow n
up
schoolboys a n d
schoolgirls we had known at
the old schoolhouse still standing
a half mile aw ay.
CHEHALEM CENTER
Mrs. Platte, Mrs. Pickard’s
mother, w h o has been spending
some time w ith them, has gone
t o Portland t o visit a son there.
M r. and Mrs. N. C. Oldham
and family have arrived and are
n ow staying with Mr. and Mrs.
S. W. Childers, Mrs. Oldham be­
ing their daughter.
Virginia Marie, the little one
born to Mr. and Mrs. F. L.
Strait November 7, only lived
five days when its spirit took its
flight to heaven. Quite a number
o f friends o f the bereaved parents
gathered at the home o f Mrs.
M ary P. Johnson where short
funeral services were held by Rev.
Walter Wilson, interment tak­
ing place at West Chehalem cem­
etery. The parents feel v e r y
grateful t o the neighbors and
friends for their kind sympathy
and assistance and desire that
an expression o f their apprecia­
tion be given here.
On Thanksgiving day there
will be services held at the school
house. The program as follow s:
Sermon by Rev. Crocker, music

tures o f the day. The dinner will

giving day long to be remem­
bered.

and the Divine right o f kings, aside
from the Church, will not be allowed

In conflict with these boastful and un-
scriptural claims win be branded as
everything rile, at the mouths of these
‘frogs’* speaking from pulpits and
platforms and through tbe religious
and secular press The nobler senti­
ments o f some will be strangled by tba
philosophy o f the same evil spirit
which spoke through Calaphaa tbe

a crime In violation o f Justice, human
and Divine, to be rid o f Jesua and Hie

Earthquake."
An “earthquake." in
symbolic language, signifies social
revolution, and the declaration o f the
context Is that none like unto it ever
before occurred. (Revelation xvi. 18.
19.) Jesus described It as a time of
trouble such as never wait since there
was a nation.—Matthew xxlv, 21.
" The Lard Will Gather Them.
Tbe false. frog-Uke teachings will
gather together Into one boat tbe great,
tbe rich, the wise, tbe learned and the
kings o f the earth, to battle At this
Juncture Divine Powef will step for­
ward. and our text tells us that HE
shall gather the marshaled hosts to
Armageddon—to the Mountain of De­
struction. Tbe very thing which they
sought to avert by their union, federa­
tion. etc., will be tbe very thing they
will hasten. Other Scriptures tell us
that God will be represented by the
Great Messiah, and that He will be on
tbe side of the masses Thus we read
In Daniel xli, l: “ At that time shall
Michael [the Godlike One—Messiah)
stand up” —assume authority. He will
take possession o f His Kingdom In a
manner little looked for by many of
those who erroneously have been
claiming that they were His Kingdom,
and authorized by Him to reign In His
name and In His stead.
Jesoa declared, “ His servants ye are
onto whom ye render service.” Some
may be rendering service to Satan and
to error, who claim to be rendering
service to God and to righteousness:
and some of these may be serving Ig­
norantly. as did 8aul of Tarsus, who
"Verily thought that he did God a serv­
ice" In persecuting tbe Church. The
same principle bolds true reversely.
As an earthly king does not bold him­
self responsible for tbe moral character
o f each soldier who fights in his bat­
tles. so tbe Lord does not vouch for the
moral character of all who will enlist
and light on His side of any question
"His servants they are to whom they
rander service." whatever the motive
or object prompting them.
Tbe seme principles will apply In the
coming Battle of Armageddon God’s
aide o f that battle will be tbe people's
aide, and tbe very nondescript boat
tbe people, will be pitted et tbe begin
alng o f tbe battle. Anarchists. Social
lets, and bot-beaded radicals of every
school of reason and unreason, will be
In tbe forefront of that battle. Tbe
majority of tbe poor and tbe middle
clasa prefer peace at almost any price
A comparatively small number. God »
consecrated people, will at heart he
longing for Messlnb'a Kingdom. These
will bide tbe Lord's time and wait pa
tlently for It: they will be of good
courage, knowing tbe outcome outlined
to tbe “ more aure word of prophecy."

The Antiquity ef Ceal.
It is thought that the earliest
reference to coal is that found in
the writings of Aristotle and of ,
Theophrastus, who lived about 238
B.C.
There is evidence that coal was
used in England aa early aa the rear
862. According to Bishop Pqdsey,
Escomb and Bishopwearmouth were
two of the earliest coal mining set­
tlements. Newcastle coal appears
to have come into notice about the
year 1234, when Henry III. granted
the inhabitants a charter authoris­
ing them to mine for it.
The Chinese knew of and need
coal in the thirteenth century. The
earliest reference to coal in Belgium
is assigned to the year 1198, when a
blacksmith at Liege is said to have
been the first in the kingdom to em­
ir it a* fuel.
_’aris received its first coal from
Newcastle in 1520. In Scotland
coal was worked as early aa the
twelfth century.— Harper’s.
