Never forget that women are made
out OF girls and that men are made
out of boys; that if you are worth
less girl you are u worthless woman,
and if you are worthless boy you
will be n worthless man, and the best
educated men and women once did not
know "A, Il, c." that all the things
which you are learning had TO be
learned by them; that the efforts spent
in making others happy will in some
way add to your own happiness: that a
life of usefulness and helpfulness is
worth many times more than Il life Of
pleasure.

How the Moon climbs Mount Hood

From the point of view of most Port
landers the moon was launched the
other evening on its journey to the
zenith squarely from the peak of Mount
Hocd The glow of the setting sun had
hardly faded from the big mountain
when his substitute poked its nose over
the north slope and sat for a second ON
the shoulder half way up to the summit,
like the earth on the shoulder of Atlas,
Then it journeyed diagonally up the
slope till it reached the peak, dipping a
little, so that the rugged outlines OF
the mountain stood out sharply against
the deep red sphere. The moon left the
summit like IA vast balloon, making a
little southing all the while. 1t seemed
to hang suspended few minutes be-
fore going farther, but soon gathered
headway and journeyed forth into the
sky.
The picture is one VIII ch is not Otter
seen, but which is worth crossing a

"Thc Fortune OF wnr."

A plain, apt and excellent illustration
of the popular expression, 1.-the fortune
of war;" is the singular fact that Major
General Leonard Wood. the present
military governor of Santiago province,
is now in command of his former com
manding officer. This strange state of
affairs il explained thuswise:
Just little more than two years ago
General Wood was surgeon of the Fifth
Regiment infantry, with the rank of
captain, and after he had left the serv
Ice to practice medicine in civil life AT
Washington he was remembered fondly
by the entire regiment as an officer who
was fond of athletics, especially foot
ball and wrestling AT the opening of
the late war he was appointed colonel
of the rough riders, and for gallant
and efficient services rendered he earned
his pr,..ent rank and appointment. Dur
ing tn. entire war the Fifth was this
only reguar infantry regiment that die
not have chance to see service, but aft
er the protocol had been signed and the
fighting troops were being sent home
the Fifth was detailed to do guard duty
ut Santiago under General Wood.
So it now happens that Genera
Woods old colonel is under his com
mand. as are also other officers who
used to rank him when he was only {
captain. That is the way the worlc
moves up and down. Verify, there Is
much truth in the saying that "He whc
takes your orders today may be YOU
