MayVe things are a little gloomy, and if the world would show you some rea son for the smile, your heart would get ngnier ana your race would get brighter, and the whole day would seem tilled with sunshine no matter how many clouds were in the sky. And it was cloudy the other day. As I came down town I tried to remember when the sunshine had been visible Days and weeks mabye months of gloom ! Talk about laughing, and get ting ine woria to laugh with me 1 didn't want to laugh, and 1 didn't crea wnether the world laughed. I didnt' believe there wan a laugh anywhere in it. And just then a girl rode along and tied her horse to the telephone post in front of the office and went tripping gaily away. She was such a nico girl, and seemed bo in tune with all good things and so tempered for the catch ing of happiness, that she shook my mood a little. 1 quit wondering and half hoping that it was unlawful fur her to tie her pony to the telephone pole, and thinking of the look of her when they arrested her, and what she would du, and whom she would call, and whig, was the possible worst that the vengeance of an outraged ordi nance would enacas the price of her perfidy. And then the horse shook free from the pole, as the girl having not tied him very securely which is the habit of girls; and while 1 was half wishing he would run away, along came a man and saw the loosened pony, and caught him and tied him up again. He hadnt' seen the eirl. He didn t have any inducement to go out of his way catching ponies for atrange people who violated the law. but I remembered him.. Then the'marshal found "an old man who had served his time as a useful citizen through many years, had retired with a little money, but had lived longer than he expected or perhaps had desired; who didn't have a dollar, or a home, or a friend or a debt. Get the last word? Didnt' owe a debt in all the world. Helpness, homeless, pretty badly discouraged, maybe not so presentable as he had been in his workaday years, he couldn't see sun shine even in the ianntipst. rimn nf June. But the marshal told some women about the old fellow, and they provided him a decent place to live, and others found enough for him to eat, and he had a bath and a shave and a dress, of clean clothes, and all the world looked bright to him. He didn't say much, but as he sat in silence wheie their kindness had landed him, a tear splashed down on his weak old hand and surprised him. And that helped. A big business man came back from his annual vacation. He had been all the way to Portland, and had spent nearly a month there, and had met the biggest men of his line in the state, and they had been courteous to him, had shown him some of the post-graduate work of their wide reaching houses, had takenhim to lunch, and sat through pleasant evenings with him, and he had caught glimpses of the deeper water' where they so strongly swam. But he said he was glad to get back home; glad be lived in Hood River; glad of the vacation, but content to make it only a brief and temporary ab sence. "1 am very happy here, he said. And all that wasn't easily for gotten. A fat little boy of about four years was walking along the street, not so very last and not very straight, with a curious look in the eyes that no man could read, but which a good woman interpreted at a glance as she passed him. He was lost, and he was far too brave to admit it even to himself. His parents lived up in the valley some where, and he bad ventured to wander out of the store where his mother was trading, and she didn't miss him until he had turned the corner and was ab solutely vanished. But the woman, who bad kiddies of her own, stooped down and took his hand and said: "Where's mother?" And he let go one apb, and then caught himself with manly courage and told her his mother was lost but he went with his new found friend back on the main streets, where it was as certain as day his mother would be looking for him. And she awas. And the good woman went on and forgot all about it. But I didn't. A man who has been bothered with business until he knew his judgment was losing its quality of certainty, that bis senBe of values was being warped, and that his enterprise was oozing from the finger tips of enforced idle nessthat man laid awake half the night trying to think of some turn to make in his financial problem, and knowing he had failed to find it. He fooled about the bouse in the mornincr. trifled with his breakfast, tinkered at hall a dozen thin!" that didn't need him at all.and then started down town, where there was no profitable need of his going. And the wife, who bad known every wave of the trouble that washed over him, but never had given a sign she followed him to the door with a cheery good tye, and he turned ' : and kissed. 1 Own l know that it solved ' his problems for him, but he faced the with a courage he bid not felt fur weeks. And that is all a true ma needs. All be asks is that the Gods give hira courage, and ht will lace any uiam oi uespair ir.m ever wielded j club. And a little boy that was ver sic seemed dritting into the shadows of the Great Unknown, and stout his Led of awful pain father and mother and helpless friend gathered and watched tins torture they could not relieve, and yearned in agony mr some help in measureless world that it seemed should hold it. there wasn't enough money in the bouse-nor anwyfaere within the reach of the burdened lather to pay for anything, but thre ' physicians left their oiticcs and turned aside from their regular practice, and sat about the little bedtide and gav the very best of a blessed profit ion nad put witom their power, puzzled out the one chanct on earth tor the child a relieving. Ihey didr.t do it fo pay, nor the nope of it. It was sacred obligation laid upon them, and they gave as fully and as ronscien tiously as if tneir .atient had been tne child of wealth. And it uidnt' stem to them they had done anything unusual And that appealed.tu me. strong men stood face to face, and quarrelled, and one of them was wrong. No mutter what had been ! the wearying reasons fur his taking lalne position. Ihey said things to each other that would have hurt ks excited senses and patted. It was the breaking of a friendship that had lasted lur many years, and each of them hunted a while for ways to wound the other. And then the one who was wrong caught himself before tne sun bad gone down on his wrath and frankly called his old friend hi new enemy ana saia: ' When a man comes to the conclusion that he has done wrong there is only one thing for him to do, and that is to admit it, and " "Don't aay another word," came back the instant response. "1 was to blame, too. Let s both forget it. It never happened, anyway." So that, as I went home that evening, there was a bright sun shining in the west, And while I felt no rain about me, there was a mass of shadowy mist from mountain top to mountain too clear across the majestic gorge of the Columbia, and all the valley was filled with rainbows. It waa a pretty good day, after all. BARTLETT WILL HELP BUILD NEW DOCKS R. R.

Can not something of more vslue be substituted for something of less value in the list of studies? Can not the nuoilsJearn what th- ought to learn in much less time than ia now required? Another important thought in con nection with public school education is brought out by Frank A. Chas. of Spokane, who declares that the duty of thrift should form the thard great ob ject in common school purposes, ihe first Duroose. that of a literarv education, has absorbed the attention of Ihe Teachers for generations. More recently vocational education has come into piominence as a second object. Advocating; the teachinsr of thrift in the schools, Mr. Chase well says that the "producing of wealth at anv time a of doubtful value if the lacka an inclination and disposition to save and properly invest part ol his in come to insure him against want and dependency in his declining years." lie goes on to point out a fact well known to persona of close observation, that the record of criminality ia In a too large extent a record of want and need, real or fancied, but so essential necessity in the mind of the one tempted that crime has been commit ted in an endeavor to satisfy that need. A denmle and important part of moral education ia here put in the limelight by Mr. Chase. Moral educa tion, must be taken ud bv the nuldic school just as vocational education is being taken up. Ihe fundamental vir tues must be bounded, as well be guiled into the minds of boys and girls just as much as the multiplication table, thrift ClaVS a larger nart in moral education than is openly ack nowledged by the moralists. Let thrift come to the front and there will be no great harm done in letting the other moral virtues radiate from thrift as the Blogan of the third great purpose in the common schools of the country.

Mcuain ave invented a new card table, a pat nt on which has been applied for. The" most important feature of the new table is its reversible top, one side of which is covered with felt and the other with green leather. A hostess can use the felt side for card playing, while the table top can bo reversed und lunch served on the leather side. The top can be removed in a second and made into a lapboard for sewing. The egs oi me table lold ike a rnrr tables. However, by the new device of bracing and springs, it is more rigid than the ordinary card table. Mr. tiartlett has made 150 of the tables, some of Which have been nlaced on display at the Franz Hardware Co. furniture department, of which Mr. McClain is manager. Although the table has added facilities of conveni ence it sells for the same price of other paienieu caru tables.
