LOSING AND OIUSKTTING.
You cannot sky i at your post or nog
'lwt the trust, small or great, commit
twl to you, without wrecking some
jjooil and causing lona to others unxl
bringing a ineiwuru of disgrace to ywuiv
eolf. Aa illustrativo of this truth, so
Important to our boya mid young men,
wV clip tlw following from an ex
change: "A Buceefiful business man sahl
there were two things he learned when
lie waa eighteen, which were cverafter
of grut u.) to hlhi, namely: 'Never to
lone anything, and never to forget any
thing.' An old lawyer sent blot with
an important paper, with certain iA
etructlous whatto do with it.
"'Hut,' inquired the young man,
'suppose I lose it. what shall I do
theu?'
"'You must not lose it.'
" 'I don't mean to,' said the young
man, 'but supposo I should happen to?'
" 'But I say you must not huppen to;
1 shall make no provision for such an
occurrence ; you niusl not lose it '
"This pt a new train of thought In
the young man's mind, and he found f
that If he was determined to do a thing
lie could do it. lie made such a pro
vision against every contingency that
he never lost anything. He found
this equally true about forgetting. If
a certain matter of importance was to
be remembered he pinned it down in
in his mind, fastened It there, and
made it stay, He used to say, 'When I
n man tells me he forgot to do some
thing, I tell him he might as well say,
I do not think enough of my business
to take the trouble to think of Itagaln.'
" 'I once had a young man la my era
ploy,' said another gentleman, 'who
deemed it sufficient excuse for neglect
ing any important task to say, I 'for
gut.' I told him that would not an
swer. If he was sufficiently interested
he would be careful to remember. It
was because he did not care enough
that he forgot. I drilled him with this
truth, IT? worked for me three year,
and during the last of tho three years
he was utterly changed in that res
pect.'" Don't he af raid to do your duty be
cause some one ridicules or opposes
you. A man who has opinions of his
own and the courage to advocate
them, will be suni to have opposition
iu thia world, because he runs across
or contrary to other people's opinions,
but just keep straight ahead if your
catse u Tight and your conscience
clear. Dn't bother yourself about
what people say; life is too short for
that. Some will abuse you through
envy, others for want of sense, others
still for want of principle and some
because they honestiy differ with you;
but if you Keep right on openly, man
fully, intelligently and with -proper
dignity of character, honesty of pur
Kse and self respect, those who differ
with you will respect you and your
opinion.
Several citizens ot Portland have
subscribed to a fund for the purpose of
aiding in the capture of (Jibbs, tho
murderer. The sum of S?"SO has thus
been pledged, iu addition tothesum of
$200 offered by tho sheriff. The
amount will doubtless be increased.
The officers are severely condemned
for the escape of the murderer, by the
press and people generally, but the
chief of police of Portland makes a
good plea in their defense, showing
that city oGlwr have done and are
doing everything in their power to cap
ture Uifcbs. The escape, uuderfthe cir
etnnstuuees, wa one of thotso strange
caww that occasionally happen in spite
of the utnioct vigilance.but a scapegoat

The school bock trust is attempting
to el th'j exchange of books on the
iSlst of thii month. This is a direct
violation of the contract, wliich pro
vides that the exchange be continued
until the several county school super
Intend juts ttrc satisfied that all the old
books are taken up and new ones sub
stituted therefor. There has been no
uMiee of such conclusion by the super-.

nehool book trut should not have been
allowed to wuavt it t U around this

MIOHTT CHAKT."
Hero U Bouiothtuit 'from thu Hus
bandman that ought to interest all
farmers as it directly applies to them
and states facts In unmistakable lan
guage. It Is wU said that the filming
aiass constitutes the members of "a
mighty giant, with good health.Rfrrong
arms aud Intellectual powers." The
farmers do not knew their own
strength, or If they do they fall to util
ize it. Lack of unity Is what prevents
them from correcting many of the evils
which oppress them. Let them unlto
on any point, aud immediately the
leaders of both the great political par
ties tremble in their Ahocs aud seek to
cunciliato tho farmers, aud by various
arts endeavor to cmiviuco them that
the republican or democratic party, iw
the cttse may be, is the on Unit Is on
tho side of the nrieultirist. If the
farmers would pay no attention to par
ty bosh, but unite ou men and mca
iff et that are really for their luterest,
they would be surprised at their own
power and the hguoflU to he derived
from its prop ?r exercise. Head and
remember: ?
Farmers arw apt to look ou tho dark
side of life. Isolated as they are much
of the time from the company and In
fluence of their fellow-beings they de
velop a moody temperament. They sec
tho inequalities of the tax laws, and
know the fact that they are robbed of
the fruit of their tolls by wealthy mo
nopolies, villainous trusts, and greedy
railroad corporations. They aro com
pelled to pay a tax on property for
which they are heavily in debt, while
their mora fortunate neighbors, the
merchants', escape such taxation. They
aie obliged to pay the railroad conipa-
nles more for transporting their prod
ucts a few miles than Is charged the
great drewed beef and Standard oil nlo-
uonolies for hauling the same bulk of
oil or dressed beef across the continent.
They must pay not only a heavy profit
on millions of dollars of watered stock
but heavy rebates to these wealth-glutted
monopolies. And when they think
of these things they say, "A farmer's
Is a dog's life; farming doesn't pay;
my son shall never be a farmer." They
cry hard times nudj oppression, but
never think that tho means for the
alleviation of their present condition, is
in tiieir own hands. Politicians rob
them, but they stand ready to hurrah
and vote for these leeches on election
day. Tyey know that if they do their
duty trusts could uotexist, extortion of
railroad companies would cease, and
political bribe-takers would be In the
penitentiary instead of running for the
legislature. They knoy all this, yet
the long, discordant wall of hard times
is echoed and re-echoed all over the
land.
Agriculture is oppressed and uot as
profitable ns it might be,but it need not
be thus. Why should a'mighty giant,
with good health, strong arms and in
tellectual MW0M,and the cause of right
and Justice on Ids side, lie down In life
less lethargy to Ik? devoured by a flock
of greedy vultures? It h:is been said
that farmers are to bhuno for the pres
et condition of agriculture. The ballot-
box is the means provided for secunn
justice, nnd is it uot as froe tw it ever
was? When we farmers wake from
our lifeless slumber, organlze.break the
chain of party rule, and vote for honest
men, regardless of party, then, If funn
ing doesn't pay, we have no cause to
complain.
