THE LITTLE OLD TOWN.
There are fancier towns than the little old town.
There are towns that are bigger man mis;
And the people who live in the tinier town
All the city contentment may mips.
There are things you can bcc in the wealthier town
That you can t in a town tnat is small
And yet, up or aown,
There is no other town
Like your own little town, after all.
It may be that the street through the heart of the town
: Isn't olng, isn't wide, isn't straight;
But the neighbors you Know in your own mue iuw
With a welcome your coming await.
On the glittering streets of the glittering town,
By the palace and pavement wan,
In the midst of the throng,
You will lonir. vou will long,
For you own little townw, after all.
It is hero by the stile in your own little town
Father courted your mother, maid;
It was here in the vale in your own little town
That he builded a home in the shade.
Jt was here on tho hill in your own little town
That the school ana me uook you recan
Ev'ry step of the way,
So vour memories say.
It's your own little town, after all.
For it isn't by money you measure town,
Or the miles that its border extends;
For the best things you gather, whatever the town,
Are contentment, and enjoyment, and friends .
If you live and you work and you trado in your town,
You ll find mat tno town,
In spite of tho fact it is small,
That vour own little town.
Is the best little town, after all. Douglas Malloch.

'The
Rov. Ferris handed us the verses about
Little Old Town." They were sent along
with nn offer of the pastorate of a "little
old town" in Michigan where lie had lived
years ago. They strike a sympathetic chord
in our beings, and more
"Tho Little especially in those who
Old Town." have journeyed hero, far
from their old homes in
other lands or places. It is a fact in the
studyof criminology, that criminals always
return to their old home towns , where every
ono knows them and where capture is the
easiest. Thero rises in their breasts that
longing and desire to be among the people o
the little old town" that knows no barriers,
Hundreds ot cases nre on record wliere men
will voluntarily give themselves up rather
than suffer I ho torture of staying away from
their old home towns. A few years ago the
late II. II. Rogers, of the Standard Oil Com
pany, gave thousands of dollars to his littl
old home town back in Massachusetts; whe
Mrs. V llson died she was not buried in
Washington, as she could have been, but
among her relatives hack in her little old
home town in Georgia. The editor happened
to lie raised in a little old town back in Iowa,
the home of former Secretary of Agriculture
James Wilson, .lames Wilson, busy man
that ho was, always came home to vote at
every election, to visit with the boys who
tilled the fields with him when they were
young, and if I am not mistaken, you can find
him there in the little old home town today.
Yes, when you see a man who has lost from
his sympathies these recollection of his old
homo town, you have seen a defective, one
who has missed one of the pleasures of life.
To all people I would say, speak well of your
little old home town, of the people in it, stand
by them, and when trouble, sickness and
deatli steal into your family you will havo the
comforting sympathy, kindness ami help
which shall serve as solace in vour period of
stress. Man alone is like a leaf in tho storm,
therefore let's stand together, stand for "the
little old home town."

The Herald will issue its annual Uig Edition
this year. Every edition in fact is a big
edition, considering things too numerous to
mention. We want pictures of Morrow
County scenes. If you have eny, send them
to us, they will be returned in good shape and
with a copy of the edition. The edition this
year will be an approach to the ideal, need
less to say, it will surpass any effort of this
kind ever made in the count v. Send the
pictures.

It is thought that those Hindoos who tried to
get in Canada a short time ago had inside in
formation regarding to what was going to

Dong says that he is expecting order any
time. Ham and egg we suppose.
n a talk with a certain man a few days ago,
we lenrned of an ordinary happening which
ins its prototype in every community. Two
ranchers lived near a town, one was contented
with his ranch, he spoke well of bis neigh
bors, held a town office and
Just a Bit supported everything
of History w hich would help the town ;
the other man stayed nt
tome and worked, he associated little with
neighbors, he patronized local stores as little
s possible, and contributed to no public im
provements. Both men grew rich and mov
ed to Portland. The first often returned to
see his old friends and occasionally brought
tho whole family clown for a few weeks'
stay. Now it so happened tht't after a series
of reverses both men found it necessary to
return to fanning. The one was gladly re
ceived in the community, the bank loaned
urn enough to start anew and he at once as
sumed his old place in the lile of the town.
The other man received the sympathy of the
community for his circumstances and most of
hem hoped that he would eventually get on
lis feet again, but aside from this he found
nothing. Little incidents such ns this go to
make the panorama of life as it moves before
us. Happy are those who possess more than
a speaking acquaintance with the things
which bring happiness and heaven on earth.

There has been a great deal said about the
mail order business. If mail order houses
continue to grow as they have, some predict
that the time will come whey small towns
will bo merely poetical references and the
fiction writers shorn of their raw material for
summer romances. Last
A Mail Order week we heard a man ex
Orphic. press his reason for trading
at home. He said that out
of the five hundred dollars which he spent
for living expenses of his family, he might
have saved fifty dollars by buying everything
In Portland. Ho didn't know exactly but
that was a liberal estimate. He said that it
was worth fifty dollars to live in lleppner
where ho could send his children to school,
where they had the benefit cf church in
fluence, wliere good doctors lived and where
the influences about his family were better
than in a large city. These, he thought,
would not be a part of the community if bust
ness was done via the bound booklets.
Along with the tariff, currency, and inri-
gration questions as being too vast in their
scope for any country editor to tackle, we
place the mail order business.

The other day a stranger walked into the
District Attorney's office and asked that
worthy gentleman if he was busy. There
were several parties in
the room, all vigorous
ly smoking. The Dist.
Atty. replied that there was a trial going on.
The visitor watched them quietly for several
minutes and then asked if it was a Quaker
trial and what they had up for trial. The
guardian of the peace pointed to a can of P. A.
