A POET once asked Haydn show ii
happened that his church music was al
ways of an animating. cheerful, and
even gay dispositions" Tothis Haydn's
answer was, :" l cannot make it other
wise; write according to the thoughts
which | feel; when l think upon God
my heart is so full of joy, that the notes
dance and leap, as it were, from my pen
and since God has given me cheerful
heart, it will be easily forgiven me that
serve him with cheerful spirit"

THERE is often strong reason why a
person prefers his own plan or line of
conduct, for it may be one which he is
not willing to proclaim. Twenty good
arguments adduced for an opposite
course may be outweighed by the one
which is paramount in his own mind;yet'
if he do not wish for any reason, to make
it public, he is open to the charge of be-
ing unreasonable. No one has right to
another in so awkward dilemma.

No old custom can be overturned and
no new one adopted\i in a day. Public
opinion must grow, and growth is never
sudden process. He who realizes this
will also realize the benefits of intelligent
not cowardly compromise-one that
shall not delay his own steps, but shall
lead others gently to follow them.

THAT parent loves well but not wisely

rewards to the idle and selfish boy OIL

proves half spoiled on becoming a man
it is in spite of his early training. The
chances are that he will be willful. be-
sides idle and selfish. But an early en-
vironment of industry, obedience and

can train the will in such way as t.

The gift can however be increased by
the effort to cultivate it, Each one can

Tuesday evening the Democrats OF ABB
erdeen organized a club, and from now
unit! election time are ready for business.
a constitution and bylaws were
adopted and officers elected. w. H..
Pearson was elected president; James f.
Girton, secretary and z. +. Clark, treas
urer. An executive committee was APP
pointed as follows: S. 3. Linn, J.. l..
Maley, John Boyer, j. G. Cross and A..
d. Wood, which committee was instructed
to prepare a plan Of work for the cam
paign and report next Saturday evening,
to the meeting to be held in the council
chambers at 7 80 o'clock.
The regular meeting night OF the club
will be Tuesday evening, at place to be
provided by the executive committee,
which place will be announced at the
Saturday meeting.
There is work for every Democrat to do,
so let every one be present at the Satur-
day night meeting and sign the roll, then
get out out and work until election for the
success Of the ticket. We appeal to every
Aberdeen man, especially, to work for the
Aberdeen men on the ticket, so as to give
them good send-of in their own town.

Many years ago Geo. w. Butler settled
in the east end of Chehalis county and for
twenty years kept batch on his claim.
firing Of this he sent East for his maiden
sister to come and keep house for him.
In the course Of time, as is the case with
all unmarried women who come to the
coast, she was wooed and won, one Henry
Varing being the lucky Cor unlucky as the
case may prove) man. These two looked
with longing eyes upon the possessions
of the old bachelor, and finally the sister
demanded that he deed her half OF it as
consideration for her housekeeping SER
vices. This George refused to do, and
as they had not got along very we'll DUR
ing the housekeeping period, for George
was considerably "sot in his ways" and
some old maids are not noted for the
serenity Of their temper, she thought
their past quarrels would be good enough

CHEEK.

Aberdeen was favored by an exhibition
OF more cheek, by Reucl Minis, last Sun.
day at the Elk tlcater that it is usually
the fortune Of the inhabitants OF this
small city to see, condensed into so small
Il man.
After having hired the hall at his own
expense and on his own account, Mr.
Minis was at liberty to and evidently did
air his own opinions, and strip bare his
motives for having called this meeting as
we'll as his motives for having trained
with the Populists for the last eight
weeks.
At Sundays meeting Mr.. Minis told tho
people by way Of introduction that he
possessed the requisite qualifications for
the work that he had undertaken, be-
cause he was good BANKER; and that
three qualities were essential in banker
first, plenty Of cheek; second, more
cheek; and thirdly, another coating Of
check. And when the gentleman had
finished his speech the audience were
satisfied that he possessed all these re-
quisitics in an eminent degree.
1t is very apparent that the gentleman
is suffering with very sore head, having
been turned down by the Populsts in all
his attempts to get a nomination ON the
ticket OF that party. But having failed in
this respect he now says that he will run
the county treasurers Office fer the next
two years for 81 600. a year if the people
will vote for him.
Inasmuch as he is not candidate we
do not see our way clear to give him our
vote, and his talk sounds good deal like
the rawlings OF fit subject for an insane
asylum. A PoruLIsT.

Once more the familiar name OF Shelley
is hung out on Heron street, announcing
to the people Of Aberdeen that they are
again in the grocery business. Shelley
& Co. are located in the old stand where
Shelley Bros. first started in business
scneral years ago, and where they built
up thriving business. They have pur-
chased the Emery stock and fixtures, and
in addition there arrived on the Point
Iona II complete stock OF groceries, in
Guiding a full line of Orchard brand
canned fruits from the petaluma Fruit
Packing company, OF California, acknow-
lodged by all to be the finest brand OF
canned goods in the world. A large con-
sgnmcnt OF fresh fruits and vegetables is
also part Of this assortment. In addi-
ton to the grocery business they will do
general feed and hay business, the
Kellogg building on Wishkah street and
the river having been secured for that
purpose. Shelley Il Co. will cater par
ticularly to the family trade, and we pre-
dict a successful career for the new COM
pany, for they are rustlcrs. Give them a

presided over by Mrs S. Il. Linn, and the

having attended the state Democratic

The body OF Capt Crosby was found last
week Is miles above Damon's. 1t was
badly decomposed, and only identified
by the clothing. Lieut.. Sears who is in

went oyer in the launch and gave the
body burial. Only Smith, the little
Scotchman, remains in the water.
A pleasant Spider Web social was
given at the residence Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Richard 7. Dabney by the ladies of the

musical program was reading by Mes
danes Wood, Bell and Dabney, after
which coffee and cake was served.
Two East Aberdeen women got into a
row Saturday about the children, and as
a result an arrest and trial followed. 1t
appeared from the testimony that Mrs.
7. Nanucie's boy had been whipping a
little orphan girl in the neighborhood,
and chased her into the yard of Mrs. John
Matson. Mrs. Matson says she picked
up lath and showed the little fellow
away, possibly she struck him. Mrs.
Vanucie declared she hit him with club,
and had her arrested for assault and bat
terry. She was taken before Justice Nc
Namara when change OF venue was had
to Justice Arnold, who heard the evidence
and dismissed the case.

and bank checks.

ing and the safe was opened by knocking
off the combination knob and punching
the bolts back, with slrdgc and other
tools stolen from the Crisp blacksmith
shop They must have made considera-
bic noise, but the terrible storm raging at
the time prevented its being heard in the
adjoining buildings, in which DR. Hill
and ii. X. Taylor have their bedrooms.
The burglars paid the depot visit,
gaining entrance by boring out square
OF pannel near the latch and reaching
through springing back the bolt. They
tried the same experiment with this safe,
but the knob broke off to far out, which
made it necessary to use drill. Before
they had time to get it open, however,
they were probably frightened away, as
they left the job incomplete.
The Doodle secured from the postOfiice
was examined in the little clubhouse of the
building on Third street, near the depot,
where the checks and papers which might
lead to their arrest were found and return

David Bennett Hill was nominated for
governor OF New York last week with an
enthusiasm beyond description. The
leaders, of which he was one, had appar-

gram, but the convention took the mat
ter out of their hands and nominated
Hill in spite Of himself, twice by acclama-

smooth game or the force OF circumstances
have placed him where, if elected he will
be the logical candidate for the presidency

1t will thus be seen that the clerk s
Office is the only one in which the receipts
equal the expenditures, which goes to
show the benefit to the county of having
Democratic official in that office. The
travelling expenses OF the sheriff are prop
erly included in this comparison because
they are taxed up in the costs and appear
on the other side in the item Of receipts.
1t is true that the law also provides that
work done by these officers for the county
shall also be credited to the offices. This
does not show in the auditors report, and
it would of course bring the receipts OF
the auditor and sheriff nearer to the ex-
penses, but it would also increase the ex-
cess of receipts by the clerk over expens-
es, and the comparison would still hold
good.
Tho salaries and clerk hire in the treas
urer's office amounted to *4,673.27, a
pretty large sum for sparsely settled
county. 1t ought to be much less. Mr..
Lewis has been an honest, accommodate
ing official, but it is claimed that he is not
practical accountant, and therefore he
has to have more help. This is not de-
MED by him or his friends. Must the
taxpayers pay an extra price purely for
accommodation sake?.
The county superintendent has received
$l,521.76. The law allows him salary
OF 800 per annnm, $3 per annum each,
for visiting the various schools, and ten
cents per mile for mileage. There are SO
school districts in the county; at 50 each
gives SIT, which, added to the annual
salary gives $S77, and leaving $644.76 to

that Mr.. Hutchinson had charged the
