Tins of the Forests.
Portland, Ore, Sept. 19.-Six thou
sand dollars in cash has been raised
in this city, Oregon City and Vancou-
yer, Wash. for the forest fire suffer
ers. Supplies are being rushed for
ward to the afflicted districts.
From Denver comes word that forest
fires are sweeping bare of timber sec
lions Of the Rocky mountains from the
Wyoming line to central Colorado.
The fires are spreading with terrible
rapidity, and conditions are more serl-
Gus now than at any time since the
first fire was reported about month
ago. Government inspectors and for
est brigades are doing all in their
power to check the progress OF the
flames and are receiving all possible
assistance from ranchers and mining
men.
In some places the fires have been
checked, but not subdued. The greater
portion of them, however, have gained
such Roadway that, with the limited
force of fire fighters and other means
at hand, the government officials can
see but little hope of successfully ex-
tinguishing the flames and must neces-
sarily allow them to burn themselves
out. New fires are reported daily, and
much fine timber heretofore untouched
by the devouring flames has been
wiped out OF else is now burning with
out hope of being saved.

''They Say

They say-ah. well, suppose they do,
But can they prove this story true?
Suspicious may arise from naught
But malice. envy, want of thought;
Why count yourself among the "they,"
Who whisper what they dare not say?
They say--but why the tale rehearse,
And help to make the matter worse?
No good can possibly accrue
From telling what may be untrue;
And is it not nobler plan
To speak of all the best you can?
They say-well, if it should be SO,
Why need YOU tell the tale Of woe?
Will it the bitter wrong redress,
Or make one pang of sorrow less?
Will it the erring one restore
Henceforth to "go and sin no more?"
They say-oh! pause and look within;
See how thy heart inclines to sin;
Watch, lest in dark temptati>n's hour,
Thou, too, shouldst sink beneath its power
Pity the frail, weep o'er their fall'
But speak of good, or not at all.

The Story Of the Peaches

| A father once gave each of his

| how they liked them.
| "Fine," answered the first one;
"they tasted so good, that I planted
the seed. Perhaps tree will grow
| from it, and we shall then have
plenty of them
"Good," answered the father,
"you will sometime make an excel
lent gardener.
ST found mine so good" said the
second boy, ''that I asked mother
for half of hers yet. The seed I
threw away.''
! "Ah, you are still very young, "
said the father.
81 picked up the seed he threw
away" said the third, "broke it
open and ate it. My peach I sold
for a penny.
At this the father shook his head
and said: ''You want to be mer
chant. But there is no hurry. You
need not begin SO young.'
"And now, my boy, what have
you to say" turning to the fourth
son, chow did yours taste?"

Thorough.

Is it any wonder that the messen-
ger boy who took such pains to
make no mistakes should grow up
to be one of the most successful Of
business men? 1t was Andrew
Carnegie. Here is his own story
of those days:
my only dread was that should
some day be dismissed because l
did not know the city; for it is ne
cessary that a messenger boy should
know all the firms and addresses of
men who are in the habit of receiv-
ing kilograms. But I was a strang,
er in Pittsburg. However, l made
up my mind that I would learn to
repeat successfully each business
house in the principal streets, and
was soon able to shut my eyes and
begin at one side of Wood street
and call every firm successfully to
the top; then pass to the other side
and call every firm to the bottom.
Before long I was able to do this
with the business streets generally.
Nv mind was then at rest upon
that point.''

Good Manners.
Never try to outshine, but

Never try to outshine, but to
please. .
Never press a favor where it
seems undesired.
Never intrude ill-health, pains,
losses or misfortunes.
Never talk or laugh aloud in pub
lie places or upon the street.
Never forget that vulgarity has
its origin in ignorance or selfish
ness.
Never urge another to do any
thing against his desire unless you
see danger before him.
Do not ask another to do what
you would not be glad to do under
similar circumstances.
Never omit to perform kind act
when it can be done with any rea
sonable amount of exertion.
Do not make witticisms at the
expense of others which you would
not wish to have made upon your
self.
Remember that good manners
are thoughts filled with kindness
and refinement and then translated
into behavior.
Be not ostentatious in dress or
department nothing can be more
vulgar. See that costumes fit tie
time and occasion.
Be rude to none; rudeness harms
not even the humblest and poorest
to whom it is directed, but it in
lures the exhibitors. Never treat

Rules Of Politeness.

I. TO be polite is to have kind
regard for the feelings and rights OF
others.
2. Be as polite to your parents,
brothers, sisters and schoolmates as
you are to strangers.
3. Look people fairly in the eyes
when you speak to them, or they
speak to you.
4. Do not bluntly contradict any
one.
5. 1t is not discourteous to refuse
to do wrong.
Whispering, laughing, chewing
gum, or eating at lectures, in school,
or at places of amusement, is rude
and vulgar.
