ATHENA, APRIL . . . ... 25, 1905
The following card sent out by a
Detroit commercial club, is worth
reading and pasting in your hat:
"If there is any chance to boom
business, boom it Don't pul a long
face and look as though yon had a
soar stomach. Hold np your head,
smile and look for better things.- Hide
your little hammer and try to speak
well of others, no matter how small
you really know yourself to be. When
a stranger drops in, jolly him, tell
him this is the greatest town on earth
and it is. Don't discourage him by
speaking ill of your neighbors. Lead
him to believe that he has at last
struck a place where white people live.
Don't knock. Help yourself along by
becoming popular and push your
friends with you. It's dead easy. Be
a good fellow, and soon you will have
a procession of followers. No man
' ever helped himself knocking other
people down in character or business.
No man ever got rich by trying to
make others believe he was the only
man in town who knew anything.
Ytfu can't climb the ladder of success
by treading on other people's corns.
Keep off (he corns and don't knock.
Your duty first of all is to yourself
and to your business then to the town
in which you live. Just now the citiz
ens of Athena are doing strenuous duty
to their town by expending thousands
of dollars for a system of water works
that will carry in its pipes pure spring
water, the equal of which cannot be
found iu Umatilla county. They are
doing it as one man pulling together.
Whatever Athena wants she goes after
it and gets it. She wanted better
streets, and the improvement she has
made in this direction is a pattern
that is being followed by other towns
and cities of the Inland Empire. Athe
na set the pace in street improvements,
and she is establishing one for water
that but few towns in Eastern Oregon
can hope to equal.
The Weston Leader pertinently says :
"After raising a few big crops of
wheat, Umatilla county no sooner
gets a little 'dough ahead than it is
wanted for all sorts of outside invest
ments. It is freely yielded up, and
then the county must sweat and save
until it again has 'velvet to the good. '
Just now plenty of chances are offered
to got rich quick in Mexico, California
and elsewhere. These investments are
good ones, no doubt, but' they drain
the . oouuty of its surplus cash and
Htraiu its credit. One wonders that
Boyle doesn't show up again with his

It is practically settled that Joseph
ine county will have no exhibit at the
Lewis and Clark fair, for the county
court at their session Thursday, refused
to make an appropriation. Judge
Booth was favorable to it, but Com
missioners Logan and Lovelace were
opposed. Their reason was that the
county was heavily in debt and was
too badly in need of roads to justify a
$3000 fair exhibit A delegation of
about twenty business men of Grants
Pass appeared before the board to ex
press the desire of Grants Pass that
the appropriation be made. A petition
having the names of over two hun
dred residents of the county was pres
ented favoring the appropriation.
One recommendation made by F. M.

in the business portion. Cities, like
individuals, must keep clean in order
to be respectable and enjoy the best

HUSBAND MANAGEMENT.
Suppose after a woman is married
to a man, she finds out that he is one
of the kind who are easily discouraged,
and who are quick to give np in the
face of difficulties.
This is the tpye of man who, if he
inherits money, early in life develops
a cojvenieut ailment that prevents
him from hoeing potatoes but permits,
him to play golf, and who, if he is
poor, is the perpetual victim of cruel
injustice from his employer, and who
has the knack of always coming home
when the larder is lowest, and the
children most ragged, with the an
nouncement that he has lost his job.
The truth is that such men have
no courage, and whenever they come
up against anything that is really hard
they throw up their hands and quit
In her heart every woman has more
or less of a contempt, however fond
she may be of him, for the man who
has not strength enough to stand alone,
and grit enough to bear things with
out whining.
Probably the most blighting disap
pointment that ever comes to a wife is
when she discovers that she has got to
brace her husband up, and that if
there is an oak tree and twining vine
in theirs, she has got to understudy
the oak.
The picture of a great big, husky
man doing the clinging act about a
frail little woman is not a chromo that
appeals to the feminine imagination.
Still, it is a fact that a great many
women encounter this in their matri
monial experience. There, are plenty
of men who have no more backbone
than a fishing worm, and about the
hardest job that any woman ever
tackles is to try to make a man out of
one of these wishywashy, floppy
things.
But it can be done, and the question
that a wife who finds herself in such
a position should ask herself is:
"What can I do? How can I strengthen
this man so that he will do his part in
the world? How can I prevent this
weakness from wrecking my life, and
my children's lives, as well as his
own?"
The first thing that such a woman
should do is to hide her real opinion
of her husband so deep down in her
soul that he will never discover it It
is fatal to reproach him with his
failures, to remind him of his mistakes,
to point out to him his cowardice.
Such a man's essential weakness lies
in lack of self confidence. The only
way you can do anything with him is
to build this np, and it should be his
wife's daily and hourly effort to simply
saturate him with her faith in him.
For a wife to flatter a strong hus
band is doubtful policy. If you swell
his head, you frequently make him
overbearing and tryannical, but with
a weak man even conceit is the lesser
evil, and there can be no question of
the wisdom of a wife applying flattery
with a lavish hand.
She should make her husband believe
that she thinks him the greatest man
in the world, and the strongest and
the most unshakable, and it wouldn't
surprise her a particle if he moved
mountains, or set the river on Are.
She should sing the might of his
courage, of his determination, of his
perseverance, in a never ending paean
of praise.
She should harp upon the grim cou
rage with which he stood at his post
and did his duty when others fell
away, and the Spartan fortitude with
which he endured hardships before
which others quailed.
The more a man knows that he does
not possess these qualities for which
his wife lauds him, the more sure he
is to affect them, and to try to live up
to what he believes she thinks he is.
There is no other man who makes
such a show of bravery as the .man
who suspects his own couraga
Nor should anbyody despise him for
this. Many a hero would have run
off the battlefield if it hadn't been
that he was ashamed that his com
rades should see that he was frighten
ed, and it is because he is ashamed for
his wife to see that he is a coward
that many a man takes the brace he
needs to make him fight his battle of
life.
The woman who is married to the
easily discouraged man must deny her
self the pleasure of sympathizing with
him. Such men have a craving for
pity that is like an opium fiend's
hankering for the pipe. They can
dope themselves up in it until they
lose energy, ambition, and even shame
at being failures.
Hope, praise, courage, encourage
ment, these are the levers with which
a wife may boost her weak husband
up the ladder, but sympathy will pull
him dowu.
Of course it is a Btrenuous under
taking to alter a man's character and
to graft on to him qualities that he
does not possess by nature, but a wife's
fortune is bound up in her husband's.
What he is socially and financially,
she is, and if she sits down quietly
and accepts failure she is as weak and
cowardly as he is. Dorothy Dix, in
Spokesman Review.
