O resurrect stale Groceries from dark and musty corners-
We believe firmly in the hygienic and business value
of pure food products. As a dry goods merchant who
understands his business keeps his shelves as free as
possible from shop worn and out-of-date goods, so it
becomes the model grocer to steer clear of musty,
wormy, dirty and impure preparations.

In a late issue of the Portland Telegram
Muriel Gray, alias Chas. Griesen, has a
laudatory poem on Ingersoll, in which
he seems to be worried as to whether the
great unbeliever died without hope. He
says: “And died he without hope, in
unlailh of that life beyond, that love ami
hope has reared upon the tears of grief?
Who answers yea?” If Mr. Griesen is
as much a student of Ingersoll as he is
an admirer, he cauuot fail to remember
that Robert G.bas answered this question
himself. lie is respectfully referred, to
Ingersoll’s funeral address over the grave
of his brother, the identical spejRjh be­
ing read over his own dead body. Thia
eayfr^it^outhope" in so many words,
and explij jJ^yTS Inradii spoke of the

dictions.
Man eauuot hope without
some expectation of obtaining tho thing
desired. He cannot hope there is a par­
adise and consign the dead body of his
brother to the tomb “without hope.”
What a poor, pitifully weak and vacillat­
ing philosophy that is. tn Ills attacks
on the bible bis mistake was iu con­
founding tho things said about the bible
with what the bible actually teaches,
lugersoll’s place in history has been very
aptly designated in a recent issue of the '
Oregonian, in the following language:
Col. Ingersoll was au ablo lawyer and
a brilliant orator; but when he chose for
himself the career of an assailant of the
religious principle in man, he made as
great a mistake as a gifted man can make,
llie temperament and talents fitted him
for a popular idol and equipped hint for
great usefulness. But he dies loved by
a few, admired by thousands, feared anil
hated by millions. He was not content
to doubt, he must revile. It was not
enough for him to disbelieve, he must
blaspheme. Religion, which is the most
sacred possession of the masses of man­
kind, appeared to him the fitting mark
of coarse invective and ribald jest. From
a Rowing like this it is vain for any man,
however gifted,toexpect a harvest of use­
fulness.
Ingersoll was not only a misfit in a
world of religious beings, but he was a
failure in the world of intellect. The
ideas be clothed in the garments of bis
fervid eloquence and entrancing image­
ry ate as outworn and almost as old as
tire superstitions be assailed. He brought
no new thought to the spiritual life of
bis time, ana he missed all that the true
skeptic-apostle of rational thinking hail
to teach him. Renan and Voltaire, Ro-
rnaues and Fiske, lived in vain for Iu-
gersoll, as Jesus aud Isaiah had lived
before them. He knew much about
many things—of religion he knew noth­
ing. Yet this very tiling of which he
knew least of all he aspired to teach.
And all he taught was irreligion.
Measured by evory standard but one,
Ingersoll was a good man. He was gen­
erous, brave, faithful. Beloved Ins work,
and that is a great thiug. lie loved to
bring happiness to those about him, and
that is a greater thing. Greater than
either, he saw what ho thought the
truth, and he pursued it loyally and fear­
lessly. But the world be looked at
through hia imperfect glasses was not
the real world. He saw textual errors
and mutilated records, and he thought
they were the bible. He saw an appari­
tion of ancient error, aud he thought it
was God. Ho saw hypocrisy, aud lie
mistook it for righteousness. He saw
counterfeits and he had no eye for the
genuine. He saw superstition and he
thought it was religion. The ethical
purposes of nature in man, ae scienco
lias revealed them, were to him an un­
discovered country.
It is a trite criticism that Ingersoll
gave men and women nothing to replace
the bread of faith he took from tbeir
hungry bunds. It ia a moat grotesque
misconception that he lived before hi*
time. The fatal thing about fngereoll,
the rock on which his life made ship­
wreck, ia that the deepest and dearest
convictions of the human heart were to
him as though they had no existence,
that the spiritual truth* which poet* have
divined and science laboriously spelled
out, sounded in his imperfect ear like
sounding brass and tinkling cymbal. He
had the best intentions. But the thing*
he could not hear and see are music in
the heart of man, and make the wide
world beautiful.
