The Importance OF teaching chill
dren to Ls obtdicnt can scarcely be
ovsrestimated. The child's happi-
ness is in proportion to his ebedi-
encs. The willful one, who is not
taught to obey, is frotful, pcevish
and discontented. His whole life
is soured and warped. The mistake
that most parents make is in not
beginning early enough to enforce
obedience. Enforcing obedience
does not necessarily imply corporal
punishment. But whatever the
means employed, obedience should
be secured, and secured early, and
maintained always. In health it is
important, but in sickness it is i'm
perative. Fer example: a child
who has never been taught to obey
its parents, must be willful, stub
born and unmansgeablc; either
through misguided affection, lack
of will power, or Indifference, hi,
parents have no control over him
Now let him get sick. He is nor,
fre,ful, more irritable and more un
manageable. Neither coaxing, no
threatening, nor force will prevail
against his perverseness. Neede,
medicine cannot be administere,
without resort to violence that ma,
moro than countersct the othsrwis
beneficial effect. Every physicia
has seen some such cases die fror
sisobedicnce, perisLins for want {
food and medicine which it as in
possible to administer through tn
peryersity Of the patient and ii
weakness of the parents. 1t is nc
necessary to ask upon whom ii
Craze responsibility rests, but it
lsmsntable to reflect that childre
are not only made miserable VIII
alive, but are sometimes hurried
untimely death through the neg
gence or weakness of those wi
ought 10 care most for their we
being.

In the four years covered by the
-Gsr6sld.Arthur administration,
1881 to 1885, many tragic episodes
-occurred in connection with those
most prominent in it at soms time
during the period, beginning with
Mrs. Gar6eld's illness, SO soon fol
lowed by the assassination of her
husband, the President, and his
long, cruel illness and dosth. Hunt,
Garfeld's Secretary of the Navy,
died in foreign land three years Ia
ter, while Minister to Russia.
Howe, President Arthur's first
Postmaster General, and Folser, his
first Secretary of the Treasury, both
died in office. Secretary Linceln's 's
mother and his wife's mother, the
wife of ex Senator Harlan, botl
died while he was Secretary oi
War, and Arthur's Secretary o.
State, Frelinghuysen, has just dice
after painful illness which hegar
some time before his term of otiic,
expired.

! he El.Eins. interests G. G1szeT cousry
are just now assuming considerable
prominence, and from the different dis
coveriss being made on every hand and
the reliability of the persons into
whose possession they have fallen, the
signs point to new ere in mining in
this county and throughout Eastern Or
gon. The decline of mining properties
in other States and the Territories have
sent mining capitalists and prospecters
in quest of new fields for investment
and work, and as this county in the past
aud more extensively at present presents
that field they have soug ght fer, go won

Oregonward, where positive assurances
are given them that capital invested in
the mineral resources ef this section is
attended with that degree of safety that
inspires confidence in ali operators. The
days of s'wilacat" speculations are past,
and realizing this the average mining
capitalist is entertaining more safety in
his investments. The people Of this

be feared at all. Within our county

The Language Club, taking for
text "Thou hast damaable irritation"
discussed the superfuous words used iu
EHg glish rhetoric in Hamilton Hall of Co.
lumbia College, New York, Monday
evening. David Dudley Field began
with the Constitution OF the United
States, which, ne said, contained two
hsgraRt instances. One was in the
clause that contained the words that
the President rheuld appoint ''by and
with the advice and consent of the Sen
ate" II the Senate advised an appoint
ment, Mr.. Field said, that implied their
consent to it. The other was in the
clause concerning the power of Congress-
TO pass '.all necessary and proper" laws,
for if the laws were necessary they
were, Of course, proper. Mr.. Field
dwelt regretfuliy upen the failure of the
Legislature to pass his code doicg away
with superfiuous words in legal docu-
ments. In the ordinary deed Of trans.
fer, he said, there were $50 words, oi
which $50 were superfuous. In the or.
dinary mortgage form there were 1900,
of which 1910 were superfuous.
For recording deeds and mortgages
Mr.. Field said ten cents per hundred
words were paid. There were recorded
in New York during one month 6Sl
deeds and 1913 mort Cages. .'If my cod
had been adapted" said Mr.. Field, eth
people would have saved S59l on til
deeds aad $o44 on the M mcrtgages, a saw
ing of over $500 per month to the peo
pie. Tho people Of the State pay owe
sl0o, eco per year for superAuou
words"
The Rev. Robert Collyer said
: thanked Cod there was no such vast

Commenting on the Bennet-Mackay
Commercial cable, the Londsn Finan-
cier says: "This enterprise differs from,
the old cable company ia many respects.
1t was built by private enterprise with
private means; its shares have not been
issued to the public and are not subject
to stock exchange speculations; its at
fairs are conducted on economical busi-
ness principals, and its earnings are net
laid under tribute to support az expen-
sive and useless board of ornamental
directors. The Commercial cable is no
doubt Il thorn in the side Of Pender,
but it has proved a yeritable boon to the
public. To it VIC owe the reduction Of
cable rates which Pender's company has
also been farced to adopt. To it we
owe vastly Improved transatlantic
service, which. while it may detract
from the prsiits Of the old cable ring,
has been a blessing to the business
community" The same journal further
adds. "The Commercial Cable Com.
pany has done more for English busi
ness men than all the other trans AT
lantic cable companies put together
1t has cheapened, improved and popu
larized the service. 1t has, in a meas

FOUR DAYS OF TROTTING.


Fine Sport Promised by the WASH
ington Driving Association.
The Washington Driving Association of
this city has arranged for four days trot-
ting meeting at Ivy City to begin on Tues
day, November 10. This undertaking on
the part of the club is for the purpose of re-
viying the interest in trotting races once
entertained by the lovers of turf sports in
this city. Over 1000 in purses will be of
fered and notices Of the meeting have been
posted in other cities. As a result the en-
tries which closed last evening comprise
some Of the finest trOtting stock in Phia-
delphia, Baltimore and Richmond as well
as the best local stock.
The recent series of scrub trotting races
at Ivy City resulted in an unlooked-for sue
cess, both in attendance and the exhibition
of local trotting stock Many ladies were
present at these meetings, and great interest
was manifested in the events, which were
close and exciting. The records made by
some Of the horses at these meetings were
as low as 2:2S. Many Of the horses which
took part were not regarded rs race horses,
but merely good roadsters, and were taken
from their work in wagons or from the
stable and put on the track without any
training whatever. Their excellent per
Torrance was as great Il surprise to theii
owners and those interested as IL was tC
