I, CRITTENDEK, manager of toe telephone company at Roeeburg, tella this yam: An old prospector died, and In due course of time hi spirit applied at the pearly gates for admission to heaven, but was Informed by St. Peter that the accommodations were all tilled. So he asked for a scrap of paper, wrote upon It these words: "Big gold strike In hell rumored," and asked the good keeper of the gates to pass It around among the boys. A PEW minutes later, there was a great exodus, all the old miners In the place tearing through the gates In wild haste and taking the down ward trail. When the dust died down, St. Peter remarked to the newcomer: "Well, I reckon you can come on In now; there'll be plenty of room." The old boy scratched his head and an eager gleam came Into his faded eye. Then he, too, turned and took the downward trail. "Come to think of It," he said, 1 believe HI just look Into' that tumor myself." fTPICAL, Isn't It? The real optimist of all the op- . tlmlsts la the prospector. Strikes are rumored and the rumors prove false, and this goes on for a lifetime. But always he Is ready to believe In the latest rumor. After all, he's lucky.' It's worth' a lot to have something rosy to look forward to all your life. It keeps up your courage, and as long as you have your courage you aren't licked. About the worst thing that can happen to anybody Is to be licked and KNOW It. - P. MORGAN, returning from " Europe, loses his temper when a news cameraman photographs him, and chases" the' photographer 'down the deck in an effort to seise his camera. Then he snaps at the re porters who ask him for news. Taking it all In all, he seems to have been In a terrible temper, P. MORGAN thinks he doesnt like prominence snd ths publicity It brings, and probably tells himself pityingly that things have come to a pretty pass when a man can't come back from Europe without being pes tered to death by reporters and pho tographers. ' But If Morgan had to .choose be tween prominence and the publicity It brings and a place In life where what he does would be of no Inter est to the public, he wouldn't be long rn choosing. He would MISS the publicity If he didnt get it. m MEANWHILE, he Is all wrong In his attitude. The present J. P. Morgan Is a mem ber of a family that has made a vast fortune. This vast fortune COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MADE on an uninhablt ed Island. That Is to say, the PUBLIC helped to make It. So Mr. Morgan shouldn't be con temptuoua of the public and Its In terest In him snd his kind. He owes a debt of gratitude to this same pub- lie, for It is the public thst .made possible bis fortune. fENDRICK JOHNSON and M. J.

Mr. Thompson stated with emphasis, "the Red Cross will main tain the same position It hss former ly occupied In the community car ing for a great volume of cases. And to care for these cases the local chap, ter must obtain more funds." Speaking of the present Roll Call drive, Mr. Thompson explained that aid Is not coming In the way It was expected, though the demand for help Is greater than It was last year. The ia of response he credited to lack of understanding on the part of tne people.- iasi year a number jt persons gave suostantiai memberships to the community chest," he pointed out. inis year tney are giving only dot ar memberships to tho Red Cross. rracticaiiy an the relief work done by the Chest was done through the Red Cross, which must necessarily ootain tnose funds again, when p erating as a separate unit In the drive."
