A Good Story Of Courtesy.

It happened at Athens, during a
public representation of some play ex-
hibited in honor of the common
wealth, that all old gentleman came
too late for place suitable to his age
and quality. Many of the young
gentlemen who observed the. difficulty
and confusion he was in made signs to
him that they would accommodate him
if he came where they sat. The good
man hustled through the crowd &C
cordingly; but when he came to the
seats to which he was invited, the jest
was to sit close and expose him, as he
stood, out Of countenance. to the whole
audience. The frolic went round all
the Athenian benches. But on these
occasions there were also particular
places assigned for foreigners. When
the good man skulked towards the
boxes appointed for the Lacedae-
monians, that honest people, more
virtuous than polite, rose up all to a
man, and with the greatest respect re-
ceived him among them. The Athen-
ians being suddenly touched with a
sense of the Spartan virtue and their
own degeneracy, gave a thunder of
applause; and the old man cried out
The Athenians understand what Is
good, but the Lacedaemonians practice
it.-Addison in The Spectator.

The Game Of Life.-Suppose 1t
were perfectly ly:certain that the life and
fortune of every one Of US would, one
day or other, depend upon his win
ming or loosing game of chess, says
Professor Huxley. Don't you think
that we should all consider 1t to be o
primary duty to learn at least the
names and moves of the pieces? Do
YOU think that we should look with
disapprobation amounting to scorn,
upon the father who allowed his son,
or the state that allowed its members to
grow up without knowing pawn
from knight? Yet it is a very plain
and elementary truth that thelife, the
fortune, and the happiness of every
one of us, and more or less OF those
who are connected with us, 90 de.
pend upon our knowing something OF
the rules of game indefinitely more
difficult and complicated than chess:
1t is game which has been played
for untold ages, every man and
woman of us being one Of the two
players in game of his or her own.
The chess-board is the world, the
pieces are the phenomena of the uni
verse, the rules of the game are what
we cali the laws of nature. The
player on the other side is hidden
| from US. We know that his play is
always fair, just and patient. But al
80 we know to our own cost that he
never overlooks "a mistake or makes
the smallest allowance for ignorance.
To the man who plays we'll the high
est stakes are paid with that sort OF
overfowing generosity with which
the strong show delight in strength.

Health Hints.
/ For nausea lay little pounded ice
on the back Of the neck.
When eating nuts sprinkle them
lightly with salt; they will taste sweet
er and be more easily digested. @
The safest remedies in the world are
warmth, rest and abstinence The
brute employ these.
Ifyou have dogs or cats about the.
place have water where they can get at
1t handily. Many q dog is driven mad
because of lack Of water.
A person choking may usually be re-.
lieved by smart blow with the fiat of
the hand on the back Just below the

the blood dries on the outside and
forms case within which the injury
heals without further trouble.
For in-growing great toe nail, wear
shoes an inch longer than the foot,
and keep the top Of the nail scraped
very thin 80 the edges will grow out
fat instead of curling in.
Never put bank note between
your teeth as we have often seen peo-
pie do, and be careful about handling
much soiled ones. We usually slip
them into an envelope by themselves.
We have known of contagious diseases
being contracted from them.
No better or cheaper dentifrice can
be used than plain precipitated chalk.
The brush may first be rubbed on q
piece of CASTLE soap then dipped In
chalk. It may be pleasantly and safe
ly favored by adding little powdered
orris root. Brush up and down, not
horizontally.

MISS Eva AKIN, OF Albany, vii

winter.
Col. Parker is down from Wa1la
looking alter his Jarm in thi
county.
Don't be afraid to tell us tn
news when you happen to know
any. 1t IS the news we want.
a son Of Joaquin Miller, tn,
poet Of the Sierras," is serving
out a term in the Oregon peniten
tiary.
NJ. NJ. Davis has removed hi
family from Yaquina City to Cor
wallis, where they will live thi.
winter.
Receiver Hady says that the re
port that the o. P. head Offices are
to be removed to Albany is with.
out foundation.
The klamath Falls stage has
been held up by a lone robber
twice during the past week, and
the same fellow did both jobs. He
seems to know when he has struck
a snap.
NJ, II. Young has sold his home
stead on Big Elk to Henry Burns,
Of this place, and will move some
time this fall onto farm on Big
Elk, which he recently purchased
from his father-in-law.
Austin Rosebrook and his mother
are rejoicing over the reopening OF
the Oregon National Bank, at Port
land. They had we understand,
about 1900 on deposit at that
place when the bank closed its
doors.
Robt Campbell our genial, Jolly
butcher, went up Big Elk on a
beef hunting trip the first of the
week, and came back 50 hilariously
good natured that we are led to
believe that he must have struck a
coal mine or located a homestead.
Some person has been stealing
potatoes out of the field of Wade
and Parker, near town, and the
owners Of the field request us TO
say that unless it is right suddenly
stopped that the thief will be Wis
tied by the sheriff in his official ca
pacity.
If you can't speak a good word
for the country you live in keep
your mouth shut or move out.
Don't be perpetual croaker. One
individual of that kind will do more
to harm a community than twenty
public spirited citizens can do good

All Of those who wish to pay for
their paper with potatoes or chick
ems can now do so. We will take
either of the above at the market

If you wish to pay in that way and
we will let where and about when

The passenger train put a sudden
aud to the existence of calf that
