The OLD STORY.

| have loved thee tondiy, truly,
With all my trusting heart,
And like dove in search Of rest
Have wandered where thou art
I've fingered round thee day by day,
Till by thy hands caressed
I've laid my weary, aching head
Upon thy loving breast.
But now my dream of love is DER,
Its memories bright are past,
And recOllrctiOns but recall
The scenes that could not last
Like snOwfiakes which descend on earn
They melted one by one,
And disappeared as the drops of dew
Before the morning sun.
| would not east reprOach upon
That faithless heart of thine
For conscience < ives pangs more Keen
Than burning words Of mine
And as the hand of time engravcs
Its burrows on our DrowS
Nav memory bring before thy views,
Thy false and perluTed vows.
No, no, | would not have thee think
That thought would cast
Upon the happy scenes of yore
Now buried in the past;
10 though | loved thee once, yet now
tear thee from my heart.
And to their fountain backward send
The burning tears that start.

RULES FOR THE OFFICE BOY.

There is deal Of sound wisdom
packed into an article by Edward w.
Box treating on "The Boy in the
Office" in the August Ladies Home
Journal These rules by Mr.. Box
are particularly commended to office
boys:
Be the first at the office in the morn
ing, and the last to leave at night.
Don't have your hat ready to snap up
and run for the door the moment the
clock points to the hour of closing.
Let your employer see you at your
desk when he goes. Never fear an ex-
ira half hour or hour.
Whatever is given you to do, no
matter how trifling it may seem, do it
thoroughly. Do it as if it were the
only act of the whole day.
Be at your desk as much as you can;
be away from it only when it is abso-
lutely necessary.
Don't play don't fool at the office;
you are not paid for that. Don't stay
out at lunch longer than necessary.
Ask to be "off" only when necessity,
such as sickness or death, demands it.
Don't eat during business hours
have neither candy, nor apples, nor
nuts in your desk.
Don't cut pictures and decorate
your desk or the wall near you with
them.
Don't sulk because your mother
sends you to bed early. She does it
that you may be fresh in the morning,
and better able to do days work.
You need al. the sleep you can get.
Be truthful. Don't think " little
lie" won't hurt. Ii will, just as much
as big one. Liars, small or large,
never make a success in business. You
will gain by it later. Be able to look
everybody straight in the face.
Keep your boy friends away from
the office. They have no business
there, and you have no right to have
them there. Your employer pays you
to receive his callers-not yours.
Be polite TO everybody-to the ped
dler as we'll as your employers best
customer Politeness costs nothing,
and is more valuable than many things
that cost much.
Do your very best in everything
When you do that you do all you can
but be sure it is your very best. Then
will many things come to you, and
you will soon outdistance other boys
who do as little as they can, or only
do things in half hearted way. Never
mind what other boys do-be you
thorough in everything. If you are
that you have the key to success.

ABOUT FARM WORK.
The Most Dignified Pursuit in Which
q Young Man Can Engage.
I American Farmer.


1t is queer commentary On the
state Of affairs that while hundreds OF
thousands Of men are idle and half
starving in our cities, the farmers Of
the country are crying for help to do
the necessary work Oh their farms. In
many localities it is impossible to get
farm help at prices that would have
been considered large five years ago.
Is it possible that we are nearing a
time when farming will be looked upon
as mental pursuit which self-respect-
ing men will not engage i'll: We hope
not, for when that time comes Will see
the beginning of the end. In old times
the farmer was looked down upon, and
was, in fact, slave. In many
countries he could not leave and was
subjected to any prlvations or indignl-
ties that the owner Of the land felt like
affecting him with. Then. with cIvili-
cation, the tillcr Of the soil came to be
recognized as an important factor III

Gan to receive more consideration until

and from his success the farmers of all
the civilized world have prolited. Its
noble calling, and it is to be hoped
that the workers Of our country will
never be so blind to their own interests
as to begin to desplse farm work. There
are places on thousands of farms toi
men to work at calling that j. lit

Onies which enriched her in times past
and made her commerce flourish But
the colonies now are dear luxuries for
the mother country and are far from
being profitable. This would not be the
case, naturally, If these colonies be-

But there is another reason for the
absorption. In the coming great war
Belgium and Holland will be the apple

Historically, Holland is Of German

Outlook Of the Hop Crop.

Mr.. Theo Burnheim, the we'll known
dealer OF hops at Portland, has returned
from general tour among the hop
yards Of the state. He went as far
south as Grants Pass. Speaking to
Telegram reporter regarding the out
look, he said:
"The expectations have not been
realized as to the yield. am satisfied,
from my own personal observations
and from the conversations haye had
with hop raisers and dealers, that the
yield will not be as abundant as was
expected. Hot weather will materially
cut down the yield, probably reducing
it Is TO 20 per cent. Some yards, espe-
cially those located in low ground, haYe
commenced to show, during the past
few days, the presence OF vermin, but
to no great extent. Those whose yards
have lice and spray are all right, but you
can say that spraying is not general.
Most all the yards visited have the
IOuae, more or less, but there Is not as
much vermin In the yards as this time
last year. Prospects for a fine quality
were never better, providing the pesky
and vOracious louise doesn't get In his
deadly work. From now on to picking
time is the most critical period in hop
raising, for, as a general rule, the hop
louse goes into the burr, and when once
on the inside spraying does very little il
any, good. Picking will commence
about the 9th of September. Hop
picking This year will be done princi-
pally by white laborers. There will
probably be all the help that will be
needed. The price will range from 80
to 40 cents per box"

WeekIy orOp-Weathsr Bulletin.

The L. =. department Of agriculture
weather bureau has issued ias crop
weather bulletin. No. %, Of the Oregon
state weather service, for the week end
ing Monday, August Is, for Western
Oregon, as follows:
Weather: The temperature was very
warm on three days and quite cool the
remainder of the week. The tempera-
tore averaged about two degrees cooler
than the normal. The precipitation
was less than the normal, only trace
occurring at inland places and light
showers on one day on the immediate
coast. The sunshine was nearly nor
NAL.
Crops: Threshing fall grain is being
advanced rapidly and spring sowD
grain H. being harvested. Now that
much tbresbing has been done the
amount Of damage which was done by
the grain aphis is known. All Of the
counties in the Willamette valley re-
port falling off from the average, ex-
cept in YamhIll and Washington. Fall
grain is not reaching the average in
the southern nor in the grain growing
sections of the coast counties. Oats
are yielding nearer an average than
wheat and the spring sown crop Of
wheat promises to yield better results
than the other grains. Correspondents
in Yamhill and portions Of Washing
ton counties report the yield Of wheat
an average. In the counties where an
average is not realized the sole cause is
attribu ed to the grain aphis, since in
these sections the quality Of the grain
is also lacking. Great quantities Of
fruit was packed during the week to
be- sent east. There seems to be ready
market for fruit. Apples, pears, plums
and prunes are plentiful. Blackberries
owing to the warm weather are drying
up and will not continue bearing long.
Hops are doing well in all sections.
The hop crop Is the pride of Yamhill
county, 40 a Yamhill county CORES
pOndent states, aud his appears to be
the sentiments of all other sections.
There are many lice on the vines and
spraying is being resorted to freely.
Hops would be benefited by rain to-
gether with the potato crop. Gardens
and pastures need rain badly. Unless
rain comes soon, the potato crop will
fall shert of expectations. Harvesting
of fall grain Is yet to be done in the
foot hills. The grain that has been
threshed has been hauled to places of
safety for fear of damage by rain as
was the case last year.

Iron In Pharmacy.

The pharmacoppia has long recon-
mended iron wire as material for iron
preparations. Musical wire, being steel.
and therefore pure, is also often applied
and yields sufficiently pure prepara-
tons More lately there have been rec
commended for the purpose soft steel
drillings las being cheaper, purer and
not so difficult to dissolve as wire),
which, by the various processes Of forg-
ing, hammering, rolling and final draw
ing become denser and harder.
The more impure an iron the quicker
1t will dissolve, but the same piece of
iron or steel will more rapidly dissolve
the less it has undergone the mechan-
ical treatments in question. Thus, If
the immense amount of mechanical Ia
Dor be considered to which an iron or
steel bar is subjected in reducing it's
diameter to that wire, it is argued that
soft steel drillings, shavings and turn
ings deserve preference. In a word, the
turnings and drillings Of axles and steel
boiler plate, which can be obtained at
any steel works or machine shop, are
ranked among the purest brands of iron,
in the chemical sense of the word.
According to experts, 1t may be con-
sidered a practical rule that any brand
of steel capable Of making good axle OF
boiler plate will also yield pure prepara-
tions on dissolving. Medical Journal.

How shrimps Are Caught.

The shrimps sold in the city are caught
during the night before by "casters, F"
who go, two in a boat, TO some favored
locality and there "cast' all night long
for the delicious little crustacean that
is served up at nearly every breakfast
table in the city in the morning. Cast
ing' Is the throwing widespread on
the water of circular net, the edge Of
which is weighted with leaden balls and
provided with drawing strings, which,
passing through the center Of the net,
are attached to the edges.
The net when cast in the water of
course sinks more rapidly at the edges
than in the middle and confines within
its meshes the shrimps over which it
may have fallen. The rope to which is
attached the drawing string being pull
ed, the net closes at the bottom and is
lifted into the boat with its contents.
When Aurora begins his work Of tint
ing the eastern sky, those hardy casters
are OH their way to the city. Here they
hand over their booty to men who cry
them about the streets, measuring the
shrimps out to them from their boats
by the pilates" or pan, the seller agree
ing to sell the shrimps and hand over
the proceeds, less liberal commission.
