A "WILD flower is a little thing lost in the green of
- J ul I -robed Spring.
Yet its beauty brightens the scene and its fragrance
sweetens the air, wafting the brimming cup of .Tune to the
jaded heart and it drops its petals all too soon.
A dewdrop is a little thinglost in the glory of a sum
mer's morn.
Yet it sparkles with the splendor of the rising sun and
glistens with the myriad colors of hope, reflecting the
beauty of the new-horn day and its fragile life is all too
brief.
A thrush's song is a little thing lost iii the depths of
a forest dell.
Yet its whistled music lightens the purple shadow of
the woodland gloom and its message' ol. melody cheers
with the joy of spring and the song is hushed all too
quicklv.
A ray of sunshine is a little thing lost in the gold of
the noontide Hood.
Yet it gilds with the magic mystery of life, and at its
soft caress the bare earth bursts into bloom and wherever
it shines, tho earo-laden arc brighter and burdens lighter
and darkness falls all too early.
A kind word is a little thing lost in the buzz of a busy
world.
Yet to the discouraged it brings new life and hope, and
purpose grows clearer and love grows dearer, and the
cheering words are all too few.
A smile is a little thing lost in a life of toil ai?d sorrow.
Yet to the heavy-laden it inspires fresh faith and cour
age grows stronger and the day seems longer and the
kindly smiles are all too rare.
A. generous act is a little thinglost in the flood of
greed and grab.
Yet it brightens many a gloomy lite and scatters som
ber sorrow, and the sunshine of an unselfish deed enshrines
the doer in its glory and gracious acts are all too scarce.
OUR COSMOPOLITAN POPULATION.
II R population of the Rogue River valley is more cos
mopolitan in diameter than that of anv section of
Oregon. People have come here from every state and ter
ritory of the Union to make their homes among the or
chards.
All classes and kinds of occupation are represented.
The retired trust magnate, the wealthy stock broker, the
famous army officer, the college professor, the lawyer, the
doctor, the business man, the stockman, the sailor, the
farmer and the miner all meet as neighbors in the fascin
ating occupation of fruit raising.
The University club, recently organized at Medford, is
a fair index to the character of the population.. In its
active membership of less than a hundred, forty-one uni
versities are represented including graduates 'of famous
universities in Canada, JOngland, Prance, Sweden, Ger
many and Austria.
Practically all of the leading educational .institutions
of America are represented. All of the famous eastern
universities have alumni here. Jn addition, graduates of
seventeen of the leading state universities are enrolled.
West l'oint and the schools of technology are also repre
sented. ' '
Oxford, Cambridge, Montreal, Berlin, Paris, Il'eidel
burg, Vienna, Stockholm, all of these ancient institutions
have former students located here to sing their praises.
Then the smaller colleges and secular institutions have
also a generous representation.
Put by far the larger proportion of our population are
graduates from the university of hard knocks and most
of them have won diplomas in it, too.
This mixture of classes of men from all sections and
of all kinds, is one of the things that makes life attractive
m the charming A'nlloy ol the lvogue.
