Admit ONLY the Good,


Anger is very improbable guest.
Every time wife permits her anger to
rise and attack and overwhelm others,
or add to the load of care and worri-
ment every good husband has to carry
as he provides for others, she reduces
the love he has for her. A man may
not say all he thinks, but the scars of
the unkind words remain within for
hours and often for days, when his
mind had better be clear for the trans
action of business in this very busy
world where man needs all his forces
to make of life satisfactory success
Do not hear all that is said to you, if
what is said tempts you to lose control
of your temper and your tongue. Hus-
bands invariably do more for wives who
are pleasant spoken and not always
on the warpath. than for those who are
cat-like in their watchfulness and readi-
ness to jump in for a mental conflict
The same rule will apply as we'll to
men in their speech to their wives and
children, and to those they associate
with in business Humanity and
Health

much amusement to see the grimaces

Donald Waldron was an orphan. His
father. like all the Waldrons before
him, had been simply known as Farmer
Waldron, and their farm was the site
whereon the city of Beverley was built.
The predecessors of Donald's father
had ever been content as formers, sat
isfied to win good living from the
soil and rear families up to honest and
virtuoas msn and womanhood. But
the fever of speculation seized old
Roger Waldron. He had an am
5ition to grow rich. and the slow
methods of his forefathcrs were not at
all to his liking When Don was but a
lad in waistcoat and knee brooches
his father conceived the idea of having
Il town grow upon his land in the place
of corn and wheat His sagacity
showed him that the place was simply
ideal for that purpose. He subdivided
his acreage and gave literally to men
of means who would agree to locate
and erect manufacturing plants. The
scheme proved fully as successful as
he could have wished. Machine
shops, foundries, mills, sprang into life,
and with them came the merchants
and professional men of all kinds, such
as go to make up n city. Old Roger
realized handsomely on his residence
lots, and in Il few years he had accom-
plished his wish and become rich
man.
But the change from the ways of his
fathers did not end there for Roger
Waldron. The sudden accession to
wealth stirred in him the greed of a
miscr. The result was that from a
hospitable. comfortable, pleasant home
the Waldron residence became a place
Of want and misery and wretchedness.
Money still poured into the old mans
Golfers. but what he did with it neither
wife nor son could learn. Fortunately

would listen to none of them TO all
he would say:
mo, won't sell; that money may
be there, and if it is ever found | want
it myself.
Donald had begun the study of law
in the office of Lawyer Merricll, enter
ing at the same time with the lawyers
son Elton. 1t was race between these
two young men who SHOULD reach the
bar first. Nor was this the only rival
ry between them. Both were in love
with the same girl. They each knew
of the others feeling, vet was there no
breach in their friendship. The fact
was that each believed himself the
favored one and had corresponding
feeling of pity for the other
Lima Fulton was assuredly a maiden
to inspire love in any mans heart
Petite in figure, lovely in face and
character, she was a favorite not only
with all her male but her girl friends
as well, and no one for moment
thought of attempting to dcpose her
as the reigning belle of Beverley Her
father had been one of the first to come
and accept old Roger Haldron's offer
of site, aud the foundry he had built
in Beverley had made him>a rich man.
Besides his love and his lost money
Donald Waldron had another care on
his mind. This was Beppo. Bcppo
was humpbacked, half-witted Italian
lad Donald had taken care of at a criti-
cal moment. He had come TO Beverley
with an organ grinder. The man had
suddenly died and had been buried by
the town Donald cared for the lad
out of pity, and then found it difficult
to dispose of him. AT last he con-
tinuet to provide for him, and the poor
Gttlefellow was n slave in his adora-
ton for Big Dom" as the boy called
him.
1t was Col shortly who had first or
ganized the Beverley guards: but at the
time of this story Don Waldron was the
commanding officer, Elton Merrick and

mentioned, and Donald Waldron asked
permission to say few words in favor
of that memorable event
'Whilc no one could desire to detract
from Washington's glory in the defeat
of his country's enemies at Princeton" "
he said, yet it must be recognized that
Yorktown was the more important
event, as it virtually ended the strife.
It was the blow which vanquished the
British lion and perched the American
eagle upon his back where he could
shrek TO his hearts content 1t broke
the rod of tyranny with which the
British king wished to beat the col
onlsts into subsection, and gave to the
the patriots freedom they had fought
and bled and died for; it gave to us. the
American people, our independence and
our Fourth of July. This seems to me
one grand reason why Yorktown should
be chosen, but there is another. 1t is
true, Yorktown was siege which
occupied some considerable time. All
we need to do is to enact the grand
fight, the heroic sorties which carried
the redoubts and compelled the sur
render of CORVALLIS. Now, ladies and
gentlemen, am in favor of this event
because we have right here at hand
the very place to represent Yorktown.
We have the building which can be
easily imagined as the residence of
Gov Nelson. which was used as the
headquarters of the British com
mander, and upon which that patriotic
governor leveled his artillery with a
reckless disregard OF his own pri-
vate interest This building is
already surrounded by barricade

non can be easily taken to the spot,

There was plainly apparent huski-
ness in Donald Waldron's voice as he
uttered the last words. All present
recognized it and fully sympathized
with the young man, but the patriotism
the coming event inspired and the
speech and offer he had just made
wrought them up to high pitch of ex-
element and they cheered and APP
plauded vocifcrously.

years old, the mother died.
The death of his wife seemed not
only to increase the old mans cupidity,
but also his fear of being robbed.
Though prematurely old, and weak
ened by want of sufficient food, he
worked laboriously at building strong
barricade around his house. A heavy
gate, always barred and chained, gave
the only exit and entrance to the pre- M
ises. The dwelling had been fine old
farmhouse, but was now fast going to
decay. 1t was situated on the west
side of the river, and, now that the city
had become SO large, it stood barely ON
the southern outskirt.
The years following his mothers
death were hard for young Donald, but
as n boy he had no other home than
with his father. To be locked in for
the greater portion of the time. and be

town and only went to his fathers

the place where Athc miscr hid his
money. This secret was, however, Sc
curely locked in the old mans bre ast.

proved SO painful that he deterHiined

The most diligent search was made,

house was, in fact, almost torn to
pieces. but without result Donald
finally gave it up. Though he felt he
was heir to a great deal of money, all
he could claim was the old half de-

Eas has been our custom, upon some
place for the appropr late celebra-
Ition of the birthday OF the father
of our country. The anniversary of
that date is fast approaching. Let us
see If we cannot hit upon someth ing
novel"
Beverley was pretty and thriving
city of about thirty thousand inhab-
itants. 1t lay upon the banks of a
picturesque, placid river, the pride of
the city and the Joy of the young peo-
iple. The Beverley people believed in
having plenty of holidays and were
very enthusiastic over those OF a ma
tional character.
Col Hartley was one of Bcverlcy's
most prominent citizens. and was al
ways foremost in all the arrangements
for any celebration.
Suggestions will now be in order"
said the colonel. rs he beamed good
naturedly upon his auditors.
1--WE must have the usual parade"
said one.
Lets have football game and
challenge the Wilton team" cried out
young leIloW.
Colonel, this young lady next me,
too bashful to speak for herself, asks
me to suggest that the usual ball in
the evening will not be forgotten"
While the young lady in question
'blushed furiously the room rang with
laughter. When it was once more
quiet Col. Hartley said:
II think can assure the young lady
that the ball will be held, and it is also
u surety that we will have our usual
parade. AS to the football game, |
have something to suggest in its stead
AS you are all'well aware, our Beverley
guards are about the finest small
military organization in the state, and
we are justly proud of it. 1t nun bers

My idea is to have n sham batte; to
take some one of the battles of the rev.
olution where Gen. George Washing
ton whipped the Britishcrs, and initiate
it in action as well as we can, taking
history for our copy. We can divide
our guards into two parts, one to be
the patriot army under Gen. Washing
ton and the other to represent the roy
ulistS."
The coloncrs suggestion was hailed
with applause and was at once adopted.
Donald Waldron, the most popular
young man in the city, was without OPP

tie first mentioned to be enacted Its
adherents claimed that the river was

and that Westinghouse crossing that
