It is nm invariable rule, says an ex-
change, TINT man who Is stingy and
penurioGs about advertising is stingy
and penurious in his other business
transactions The same business spirit
and enterprise that prompts man to
use printers ink literally in making
his business known, prompts him TO
deal literally with his customers so
that he lnny hold their trade. The
man who sits in his store and waits for
customers to hunt him up does not
hay. many Of them, and, consequently
hesmust make the most Of these he
has. On the other hand; the man
who. week after week, invites the pub
lie, through the medium of tho news
paper, to come and examine his goods,
telling them when he has new goods,
and when special bargains are being
Sffared. naturally attracts more trade
than his sluggish ncighbor, and he can
afford TO sell his goods cheaper. In
addition to this, the reading public Is
indebted to the advertisers for enabling
them 10 get cheaper newspaper.
We're it not for the revenue derived
from advertising, papers that are sold
for two dollars year could not be puI'
chssea for four times that amount
These facts are worth considering
when huying goods, and buyers vii
always find that they work fer theil
own interest when they pqtronize I'll,
liberal advertiser.

DON'T.

Don't snub boy because he wears
shabby clothes. When Edison the
inventor of the telephone, first entered
loston. he wore a pair Of yellow linen
breeehes in the depth of winter.
Don't saub boy became his home
i plafH and unpretending. Abraham
Iancoln's early home was log cabin
Don't snub boy because of the ig-
noranee of his parents Shakespeare
the worlds poet, was the son of man
Who vas unable to write his own name
Don't spub boy because he chooses
Da humble trade. The auther of th5
l'igri n : Progress was timer.
Don't snub boy because of physical
disability. Milton was blind.
Don't snub boy because of dullness
II his lessons. Hograth, the celebrat
1 painter and engraver, was a stupid
~ at his lessons.
Don't snub a boz because he shutters
I,emosthenes the greatest orator o.

DON'T snub anyone Not alone be

There have been a great many bills
introduced this week. but none have
as yet become law, that would inter-
est our readers. The Bull Ruin water
question for Portland has absolved
most every other question in the sem
ate. It will doubtless become law as
il is of vital interest to the city of Port
land and will add greatly to the pros
perity Of our queen city. A bill for the
purchase Of the Oregon City locks by
the State, and thereby reduce the ex
pense Of shipping, will doubtless be-
come law. Morelock's bill amend-
ing the school law, viii certainly re-
ceive the approval of the peoplc at
large. jennings has introduced a me-
mortal the department of agriculture
and for the election of u. S. Senators
by direct vote. There is a good deal
of hard work being manifested, and
also good deal of sparring. Some of
the members are like croquetlng-th
are merely playing for position. Vely
few bills have as yet become q law, the
most of them only passing the first
reading, and some committed to the
standing committee. We will endeav-
or to give summary of all that be-
comes a law. We note with pride the
one leading fact, which is, that all
seem 10 be working Cor the best inter-
est Of the people and for the general
welfare Of the state. We think it was
right to increase their salary to s. per
day. We cannot expect to command
the time and brains of first-class men
without compensation.

Whenever you are asked 10 drink,
Pause moment. my boy, and think;

Think Of her love. and then answer, no
Think Of dear hopes thar nre drowned in the bowl:

BETTING ON ELECTIONS.

Senate bis1 40 4, introduced by Mr..
Hatch OF Pelk eeunty, proposes an act
TO forbid and punish betting on cleo

value OF money or other property
placed in their hands, and to forfeit to

results If the Republicans bought
votes the Democrats sold them, one is
Just as guilty as another, and NO pa
triot can be indifferent to the great
danger Of debauehing aud corruptine

If you expect God to choose YOU for
a great work. be busy he seldom Sc
lects idlers. When he wished deliv-
crer for Israel, he went into the wilder
ness for Moses, who was watching
sheep; when lie wanted n man to save
his people from the Midianites, nc sent
for Gideon, who was threshing wheat ;
when he wanted a man after his own
heart to be king of Israel, he sent for
David, who was keeping sheep.
ldlers do not suit the Lord wishes
those who are not only willing TO
work, but who are hard at it. Idlers
are too often lazy, and that may often
be the cause of their idleness. Such
seldom have enough ambition TO take
care of themselves, let alone caring for
the Lords work. But idlcrs suit satan
exactly. He likes such as have no am
bition, for they make the best slaves.
The devil wants slaves for his work,
hut God wants something hotter. He
wishes men and women who nave am

work; he wishes servants who are anS-
ious 10 rise, for he means to promote
them some day. From servants lie
adopts them into his family, and
makes them his children.

Funds Disposed Of
Yesterday two institute sessions engaged
the attention of the pedagogic profession.
The morning session, at the Grant school,
was well represented by the teachers OF
steps 1, and 8. Superintendent Luckey
desires the teachers of these steps to intro
duce in September the usage of diacritical
marks and phonetic spelling. If the intro
duction proves success, all the grades will
follow in the wake, and know how to use
diacritical marks.
The general session in the afternoon was but
fairly attended 1t has been the custom for the
past years to elect the officers of the institute at
the June session; but as yesterdays meeting
was not as well attended as usual, it was put TO
the vote of the institute whether the officers
should be elected now or in September. 1t was
decided to have the election, and at once
ticket was in progress. While the returns were
in progress Deputy Superintendent Houck, who
was present, made few remarks in his enter,
tanning manner. The plan of having noted
lecturers at the general session of the institute
the practice of the past year. was favored.
A resolution offered by Professor A. u.
Burgogne, of having two general sessions OF
the Teachers Institute, one in October and
one in January, at which educational topics
will be discussed, was passed. An educational
re cord will also be published.
There was long discussion concerning what
disposition to make of the funds collected in
the Pittsburg schools for the Johnstown suffer-
ers. Some thought the money should go to the
Johnstown teachers exclusively, while others
maintained that 1t ought to be turned over to
the General Relief Committee The majority
voted to give the money to the Relief Com
mittee, which Secretary Reisfar will do this
week.
The following named officers were elected:
President (ex-oficio), Superintendent Luckey:
Vice Presidents. j. K. Bane and s. A. Andrews;
Executive Committee, G. A. Riddle, William
