A CHEERFUL OUTLOOK.
Making It Measant For the Studious
K Traveler.
An English tourist travellng on foot
through one of our mountainous re
gioua. studying the people, asked a
man whom he met to direct him to
a certain cabin at which be bad been
advised to stay overnight. "Going
thar?" said the man. "Well, Tom’s a
first rater, take him just right, but he’s
mighty queer.”
“What de you mean?” asked the
traveler.
“Well, It’S like this," and the man
looked at the stranger In a calm, im
personal way. "lie’ll be setting out
side, mast probably, and he’ll see you
coming. He’ll take a good look at
you. and ef you don’t suit him he may
set th* dog an you.
‘Ef he don’t and yon get to talking
with him and say anything he don’t
just like be may throw you down and
tromp on you. But ef you’re too care
ful in your talk, on the other hand,
he’s liable to take you for a spy and
use his gun fust and listen to expla
nations afterward.
“But it’s no use trying to get by
without stopping." concluded the man.
With evident relish of the prospect he
was opening up to the stranger. “Ef
you was to -undertake that ’twould be
all up with you. for he’d think you
was proud and biggetty.
“Ef you want to come out of the
mountain whole, don’t go past ’Idin’s
cabin without stopping, whatever you
dor—Tooth’s Companion.
Th* Unemployed.
Lack of amployinent Is not a new
Evsry Price Should Have a Reason.
It must be remembered always that
it is not the price of an article which
is Important, but the reason for the
price.
The bankrupt stock, the Ore sale, the
| manufacturer’s remnants, the annual
' clearance, the removal sale, the disso
lution of partnership sale—what are
| these and many more but arguments
for the price? And note this one point
—that without the argument the price
is powerless. Reduce fur lined over
coats from $100 to $60 and your liberal
discount attracts little attention. Why?
Because there is no reasonable expla-
nation for the reduction. Why should
you present overcoats to the public?
But announce that owing to an ex
piration of your lease and the Impera
tive command that you vacate your
present store within two weeks you
will reduce the price of your fur lined
overcoats from $100 to $60 and you
may sell easily all you have to offer.
Instinctively the public sees the whole
picture—the proprietor’s anxiety, the
inevitable removal, the lessening days,
the final sacrifice and the store full of
eager buyers, quick to seize such an
opportunity. This Is only half the
reduction previously considered. But
one Is business without imagination,
and the other is business with it—

Th* Characteristic National Meal.
It Is not only in Scotland that break
fast Is the characteristic national meal.
Travel where you may, the first meal
of the day Is the one that strikes the
foreign note, luncheon and dinner hav-
iug gradually absorbed cosmopolitan
qualities that are not even contiued to
hotels. But you never feel so much of
an Englishman as when Switzerland
gives you rolls and butter and honey
and nothing more with your coffee or
when France makes this into one ex
quisite crumbling "croissant." with an
inch or two from a yard long loaf, or
when Denmark adds cream Instead of
milk to the coffee and a dangerous
piece of pastry to the black bread and
round white roll. Yet our English
breakfast became an Institution only
in the eighteenth century. Before that
only royalty breakfasted off meat,
bread and cheese and ale. The com
moner. such as Pepys, took merely a
morning draft of buttered ale.—Lon
don Chronicle.
A Compromise.
A struggling art student, a native of
Pont Aven, went to Purls to study and
occasionally visited an uncle there, an
elderly shoemaker on the Rue Vaugi-
rarJ. The shoemaker was to be count
ed on for a square meal and sometimes
eveu for a small loan. One morning
the uncle welcomed the student far
more warmly than was his habit
“Just in time,” he said, rubbing bls
hands. “The kitchen door wants paint
ing. and I was about to give the job to
the commlsslonnalre for 3 francs. But
you can have it now. I’ll pay you $5.”
The student flushed and bit his lip’
Hard up as he was, he could not so
degrade bis art as to paint a kitchen
door. Yet he needed money badly.
"Uncle,” he said, smiling as a happy
thought came to him, “I’ll tell you
what to do. Let the commlsslonnalre
paint the door for 3 francs, ns you had
lnteuded. and give me the 2 francs dif
ference.”
Why Men Cooks Seldom Smoke.
“Men cooks make a mistake to
smoke. Men cooks that smoke have a
bard time to get work.”
"Why so?" inquired a woman cook.
“Because you don’t like your cook to
bend over the cooking with a cigar in
bis mouth. It doesn't look neat when
you go down into the kitchen to see
him finger the wet stub of a cigarette
and then plunge bls bands info the
puff paste. Sometimes. In fact, if you
have a man cook that smokes you will
find ashes on the steak. 1 know a cor
poration lawyer who once found a ci
gar end in the soup. Do you think he'd
ever employ after that a smoking
cook?”—Cincinnati Enquirer.

Death of Estella.
The greatest Jersey cow in the world
has died, and she lived in Missouri. Un
like many other native Missourians, she
did not go to New York, d« daring that
she was unappreciated nt home, th.it
there was no career for her there, and
that if she could go to New York she
would become furious and have her
portrait in the papers.
She lived (and, died in Missouri and
remained in obscurity.
The name of this cow whose memory
we must all revere was Estella
During
oneyearshe produced 712 pounds of
butter, which is 100 pounds more than
any other cow has given the world in all
history.
The lesson that Estella's life so effec
tively teaches us is the value and im
portance of singleness of purpose.
At an early age Estella determined to
go into the butter industry and by the
strictest application to business and to
her feed trough sl.e distanced all com
petitors. Everything she touched turned
to butter. II sl.e peiceived with that
far-seeing ¡shrewdness so characteristic
of the cow that it would not turn into
butter—-good, wholesome, marketable
butter—she didn’t touch it.
Some cows are deficient in the business
sense that Estella had. They have no
eye lor the details (»1 their calling ; they
munce without discrimination the wild
onions, the skunk cabbage, the mullein
stalks and the barbed wire they find in
their pastures, and their butter has to
be trown away. They alone are to
blame that »hey do not rank in the same
class with the peerless Estella.
But she is gone. Ruminating on the
possibility of some new process by which
she might increase her yield of butter by
introducing more modern methods, pos
sibly in the disposal of the cud, she wan-
deied in her brown study too close to a
ditch and fell in, and though all the hu
man skill could do was done for her, she
succomed. surrounded by the heart
broken community of Columbia.
After the first grief over her loss has
subsided we hope to see an imposing
shaft raised to her, commemorating her
noble qualities and her butter.

A ‘ Murphy ’ Story.
Kansas newspapers are “parsing oil”
this story which isgoingthe rounds, and
the unanimous verdict is that it is good.
It is to the effect that a freckled faced
girl stopped at the post office and jell
ed out :
“Anything for the Murphys !’*’
“No, there is not.’’
“Anything for Jane Murphy ?”
“Nothing.’’
“Anything for Ann Murphy ?”
“No.”
“Anything for Tom Murphy ?”
“No.”
“Anything for Bob Murphv ?”
“l^o, not a bit.”
“Anything for Terry Murphy?”
“No, tfor for Pat .Murphv, nor for
James Murphy, nor for Dennis Muroliy,
nor Pete Murphy, nor Paul Murphy, nor
for any Murphy—dead, living, horn or
unborn, native or foreign, civilized or un
civilized, savage or baibarous, male or
female black or white, franchised or un
franchised or otherwise. No, there is
positively
nothing for any of the
Murphys, either individually, jointly,
severally, now and forever, one and in
separable.”
The girl looked at the postmaster in
astonishment, and said : “Please to
look if there is anything for Clarence
Murphy.” _____ ________

READ THE
Conscience.
WEEKLY OREGONIAN
[To THE EDITOR TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT.]
“Know ye not that your body is the
temple of the Holy Ghost.’’
Through the preacher we become
familiar with God and Christ, but when
we subscribe to the dictates of conscience
we leave the preacher for another world.
The preacher, like the sickle and scythe,
have outlawed their usefulness.
The conscience must lie dormant so
long as we respect the preacher.
It is either the light without or the
light within.
There are bad men who claim to fol
low the preacher and there are bad
men who argue the liberty of conscience.
The question is what God is able to
reveal his will direct to men or is it
necessary to have an intermediate.
The preacher classifies ignorance with
conscience, he says, “Didn’t Paul perse
cuteexercising conscience,” but Paul laid
it to his ignorance.
No man was ever a subject of con
science until he became'.a believer in the
gift of the Holy Ghost The world was
over 4000 years old before the conscience
w is in question, so long as men were
subject to the reading of the low or the
preaching of repentance there was no
ing stick. “Do you mind taking an
need of conscic ce
