ATHENA, FEBRUARY 25, 1898

The Elgin Recorder has discov-
e-ed that zone Of the peculiar
but nevertheless common charac-
teristics in human nature is that
as soon rs man has made a
practical demonstration of the fact
that he is a decided failure in any
of the ordinary pursuits of private
life he becomes imbued with the
idea that he should serve his fel-
lowmen in an official capacity.
This peculiar trait is demonstrated
at each recurring political cam.
paign, when large majority Of
the persistent office seekers are
men who have made signal fail
ures Of any private enterprise they
have ever undertaken. They
probably act on the theory that
having demonstrated their in
ability to provide for themselves
1t devolves on the general public
to provide for them"

Hon. G. w. Fulton, of Astoria,
is playing o sort Of hide.and seek
game that will certainly never
land him in the gubernatorial
chair, however much he may de-.
sire the honor. Fulton is trying
to get on the gold standard with
both feet, Notwithstanding he has
been an ardent silver man all his
life, and'at the same time is pro-
testing that under no circumstan-
ces is he candidate for governor.
He also declared that he was not a
candidate for the presidency Of
the republican league just before
its meeting in Portland, but in
half an hour blossomed into can
didate. 1t is likely he is trying
the same dodge with reference to
the governorship,

 Let me also say for the encourage ment of all women fighting the battle of life alone that their conflict will soon end. There is one word written over the faces of many of them, and that word Is despair" My sister, you need ap- peal to Christ, who comforted the sisters of Bethany in their domestic trouble and who in his last hours forgot all the pangs of his own hands and feet and heart as he looked into the face of ma ternal anguish and called friends at- tention to it, ill substance saying: "John, cannot take care of her any longer. Do for her as would have done if had lived. Behold thy moth er!" If under the pressure of unreward- ed and unappreciated work your hair is whitening and the wrinkles come, re- joice that you are nearing the hour of escape from your very last fatigue and may your departure be as pleasant as that of Isabella Graham, who closed her life with smile and the word ''peace The daughter of regiment in any army is all surrounded by bayonets of defense, and in the battle, whoever falls she is kept safe. And you are the daugh- ter of the regiment commanded by the Lord of Hosts. After all, you are not fighting the battle of life alone. All heaven is on your side. You will be wise to appropriate to yourself the words of sacred rhythm:
 One who has known in storms to sail
 have on board.
 Above the rearing of the gale
 hear ny Lord.
 He holds me When the pillows smite,
 l shall not fall.
 If short, 'tis sharp if long, lis light.
