Attention.,

1t is impossible to overestimate the
effect of simple earnestness and con.
Tentration in the affairs of life.
Il sometimes wonder where / should
be now, if l had always given my whole
mind to my work, =" said middle-aged
man, engaged i'll pursuit for which he
had no particular love. He occupied q
fairly good position, as it was, and was
"well respeckit," but tho something
beyond, which he might have attained,
had his energy and force of will been
stronger, would always haunt him:
Larkin Dunton, o practical educator,
says in writing about this very point,
that he once asked boy question in
regard to his enjoyment of certain
study, and received this reply:
"Oh, the time spent on that doesn't
amount to much, for the teachers don't
care anything about it,"
That carelessly spoken reason would
exactly touch the root of many SINH
lar matter. The teacher has no inter.
est, no stimulating enthusiasm, and SO
the boy has none. A clerk is content
with doing mechanically the liberal
amount of work required of him, and
his employer feels no interest in open
ing before him the way to better DO
sition. There is no affair of practical
life, no matter however unimportant,
which is not marvelleusly influenced
by earnestness or sloth.
"Why don't you mend your harness
some rainy day, instead of tying it up
with strings?" asked some one of a boy
who had taken summers contract tc

ing, "he'd as lieves 'twould be all string.
if 'twould hold together"
But the time came when il did NOT
hold together, and then boy and man
parted, while river of spilled milk
rolled between, and neither could rea-
lize that it was only their common
"shiflessness' which had been the cause
of the separation.
The Indians, with their fondness for
symbolic titles, called Phil Sheridan
The 'httle-man-that atmeans-business."
Very few men deserve to wear the
name after him, but those who have
any intention of succeeding to one re

need to throw an exceeding earnest

Authorities on dogs say that there /,
no difference in intelligence among diff
ferent breeds, but the caniche and the

Mr.. de Ruiz, the Consul from Ecuador,
has long had n poodle which he calls
Puck, that came to him in touching
way. The car carrying dogs to the pound
one hot summer day was passing along.
1t was so full that the dogs were in a
heaping, writhing mass. Suddenly over
the heads of all and over the tail board
bounded a white poodle, who ron
to Mr.. de Ruiz as he was passing

What's I'D u Word!

A New York pastor, who, though a
Scotchman, had lived in America for
over forty years, was one day taken to
task by his daughter for the broadness
of his accent in the pronunciation of
the word difference.
"How do I pronounce it?" he asked.
"You say difference.
"And what do you say?"
Difference"
Looking at her for moment, and
getting her to repeat, he continued,
We'll, M, will you just be so kind
as to tell me the difference between
difference and difference?

The fox terrier belongs to stables, woods,
and lanes. But he is with us and is yery
much at home.
OF all breeds of pet dog none has met
with such general favor as the skye. But
skye is comprehensive term. The true
skye is not, in fact, pet dog at all. The
real skye is long bodied low dog, with
a gold and blue hard wiry coat, and a
terrier head built for killing. But all sorts
of combinations of Yorkshire and Scotch
terriers have resulted in o harmless silk
en-, long haired pet dog, which goes by
the name of skye.
A rarer, but one of the most lovable
dogs, is the cocker spaniel. There is a
lively group of these dogs in almost all
the fine stables.
The most ultra fashionable dog is the
caniche or French poodle. The poodle

The chief event of importance during
the past week has been the strike among
the employees of the river division of the
o. R.. & n. company, which has caused a
temporary cessation of trade with Astoria.
The dull state of the wheat market, how
ever, renders the situation less serious
than it would have been otherwise. In
all other respects business is active. In
provisions the market is weak, prices,
however, remaining steady. Sugars have
advanced another step, with the prospect
of another raise The demand for fruits
and vegetables has been good. Receipts
in dried fruits have been meagre, on ac-
count of an overstocked market. The
importation from California has had the
effect of reducing the price of butter.

for the future. Wheat is quiet and
