“Seeing red" always gets people into trouble.
"Seeing red" kills and maims hum ans, shatters
homes, wrecks reputations, breaks love ties, ends
in the penitentiary or the hospitals for Insane or
in the grave. Anger run wild never helps anyone
or anything.
Young Nesbitt was known as a pleasant fellow, i
always calm In demeanor, never quarrelsom e or
vicious. But he “saw red" once— only once—and
adm its he is ready to pay for It In the choir.
SUPPORT THE GUARD COMPANY.
A headquarters’ company of the National
Guard of Oregon Is being installed in Springfield.
This is a worthy and patriotic undertaking and
should have the support of all the citizens. Young
men should be encouraged to join and commend
ed after they do join.
Why should anyone ever "see red"? Why
should men and women permit them selves to be
come victims of fits of "blinding rage"?
Bvwrybody hsa early ambitions to
be something or somebody when
they grow up, but they seldom
realise those ambitiona. H o w « r ,
