HARD WORK AND HEALTH.
Men Injured More by Imprudence Than
by Continuous Labor.

Men Injured More by Imprudence Than
by Continuous Labor.
A number of successful business
men were engaged in most ami
mated conversation in one Of the
rooms Of an up town club the other
day, when the conversation turned
on newspaper paragraph that an
nounced with great impressiveness
that q man known all over the civil
lized world as brilliant writer and
humorist was dying from overwork.
Regrets were expressed at the oondi-
tion of one who was known to many
of the mem bers of the club, and
some comments were INDUCED in on
the folly of working oneself to death.
A man Of IS or thereabout broke
into the conversation with the re-
mark:
II don't believe that any man ever
died of legitimate hard work. and I
am willing to back up my statements
against any reasonable proof that
may be furnished.
This naturally created a sensation,
and there were very sharp criticisms
on this mans position. But he per-
sisted and gave his reasons, which
were so full of common sense and
logic that most of the company were
compelled to admit the truth of
them.
Men do not die of legitimate work,
neither do they, as rule, die of
what they 10 during business hours.
If the man would leave his Office and
go quietly home to rest or to reason
able recreation, he would not be like
ly to suffer in health. But he does
not do this. He goes out of his Office
to the hotel. to the billiard room, to
the saloon, the opera house or other
occupations or amusements even less
reputable.
Many a man rushes through his
business simply that he may get
away to plunge into excesses Of va
rious sorts. There may be instances
in which complicated business,
handicapped by lack of means to
carry it on in a comfortably smooth
fashion, may wear Oh mans mind
during his waking and sleeping
hours and eventually undermine his
vitality. But this is not legitimate
business. No man has a right to
work against such desperate odds.
1t is very much better to begin on a
smaller scale. to adapt ones hopes
to the means at hand and remember
that vital force is too valuable to be
squandered in straining for the al.
most impossible.
Straightforward commercial trans.
actions. unattained with the enor.
nous risks that many men take, are
healthful and rarely bring bad re.
suits. Indeed, all things being equal,
1t is not business worry that kills,
except as man lifts the burden of
business worry on shoulders weak
ened by excesses, designations and
unwarranted indulgenoes.
If men would attribute their i'll
health to it's just cause and would be
honest with themselves and the

ing railway from Goldendale to Co.
lumbus. The Goldendale papers are of
the opinion that McRlchards and DR..
Hoenoch, who has raised a commotion
in Seattle, are one and the same man.
Hoenoch made the acquaintance of Gov
ernor McGraw and several other nota-
BILE men and invited them to a swell
spread. The banquet had to be declared
off, unfortunately, by the sudden disap-
pearance OF the host, who had taken
himself to parts unknown. leaving his
baggage and unpaid bills as mementoes.
If, as the Goldendale papers think, Nc
Richards is the DIR. Hoenoch of Seattle,
his versatility and smoothness in getting
in to people should be turned to better
and more useful account.

1t is reported that the present chinook

county warrants and there is no difficulty
in selling them at par. A year or SO ago
they were selling at from 80 to 95 cents,

A letter received by Mr.. Smith French

where he was engaged in business with
Mr.. Watson. Mr.. Hoover was the father
in-law of State Senator W. w. Steiwer,
of Gillian county.

the meantime the work Of remodeling
the building is nearly completed, the
partitioning is done and the finishing
touches are being put to the plaster
When the latter has dried sufficiently,
the walls will be papered, and then the
billiard table, bowling alley and gym
nastic apparatus will be put in. When

concern about where to put them. At
the time Clerk Jacobsen made his last
census, it was thought that the number
was pretty high, but the next enumera-
tion, will doubtless, exceed that of last
year. Yesterday the beginners classes
were organized and the entrance of these
little ones makes the demand for in
creased accommodation more imperative.
Some provision will have to be made for
additional room, and it is this matter
which the people will be called upon to
consider at the next meeting. The
growth and excellence of schools are
matters of satisfaction to the inhabitants
of The Dalles.
Tonight is the time Get for the lecture
of ex-Attorney General George II. Will
Jams on Reconstruction The subject
is one in which every reader of Ameri-
can history is interested, and its treat
ment by man like Judge Williams
should receive added interest. Few men
have had more rounded public career
than Judge Williams; as a lawyer su-
preme court judge, senator and attorney
general in President Grants cabinet,
his opportunities for observation have
been ample. Judge Williams is
speaker whose words never fail to carry
weight with his hearers. The lecture
will take place at the Congregational
church. Doors open at 80, lecture to
begin at 8.
A Sherman county man, at present
residing in The Dalles, has chance of
obtaining some fame and fortune
through Ibis inventive powers. Mr.. G.
W. Barzee received through the mail
yesterday from Washington patent for
a straw burning stove. The invention,
which MI. Barzee perfected last spring,
is the result OF ideas which he has enter
TONED for fifteen years, though not till
a patent. The straw-burning stove
promises to be useful and convenient
arrangement. The points of novelty
and improvement for which the patent
was granted, being that the straw is fed
into the stove from outside the house, SO
there is no dirt or straw leavings in the
room. The heat of the room is not

dinary wood or coal stove. The stove
can be fillec with straw and the cinders
removed in one minutes time, and will
continue one hour at sufficient heat to
keep room comfortable IN ordinary
winter weather. Mr.. Barzee is confident
that his invention will be found a useful
contrivance and demand for 1t be
created.

in this city. At that time he was con-

seemingly possessed of plenty of money
and having generous desire to spend,
yet he was not able to instill much con-
fidence in those who met him. Nc
Richards came from Goldendale, where,
he said, he was the representative of

At one time his thoughts were in the

Next week Efie Ellsler, the foremost
exponent of emotional drama, will be
seen at the Baldwin Opera House in
Shakespeare's comedy Gas You Like
IT," and Alexander Dumas Camille.
Miss Ellsler is possessed of remarkable
talent and artistic grace, which lends a
charm to her impersonations; but it is
to her naturalness and true womanliness
that she owes her popularity with the
atregoers. In these masterpieces, she
will be seen to advantage especially as
the surroundings will be of an unusually
brilliant character. The supporting
company has been selected with care.
Frank Weston, John A. Ellsler and
other competent people assist in the
presentation of these beautiful plays.
