THINKING OUT LOUD.

Since deeds are thoughts in
action, every soul that feels
knows its own need of a precious
cloak of charity. We are made
or marred by the thoughts we
have. We who are honest with
ourselves know that blackness
of thought is not impossible back
of the face of sanctity. Think
ing out loud in evil deeds differs
in degree and not in fact from
those who "save the face" by
thinking evil but not doing it.
This idea puts us on the road to-
Mards downing evil within, and
thus fitting ourselves to help in
its conquest abroad.

FRIENDSHIP.

Time moves as fast for our
friends as it does for us. We
grow older together, and the
changes of the passing years oc-
cur almost imperceptibly. This
"vantage-all" of friendship is
one of its blessings. The sweet
est friendships are those that go
back to the days of childhood.
Such friendships defy Time; for
a merry jest or story of the olden
days wipes out all The years that
have passed and makes them as
if they were not, The rampant
war horse was not then harness
ed with a colt; both were colts
together; both now nibble around
in restful pastures.

TRUTH.

AS positive as the progress of
this great gyrating, sweeping
universe is Truth. 1t rolls on
and forward whether the eyes of
beasts of the questions of eager
souls are looking towards it.
Even those who gaze fixedly at
it may not understand it all but
only in part. Their partial
knowledge does not affect it. 1t
was and is and ever shall be,
constantly eluding complete
knowledge, yet ever tempting
conquest. No one mind can
know it all, but all can know
some of it. Hence the weakness
aud wildness of claiming to know
all the truth and condemning
those who cannot see our view.

SMALL TOWN GOSSIP.

Stabbing a foe under the guise
of friendship is mildly cruel com
pared with the irremediable dam
age of heartless gossip. Every
village-and Challis is no excep-
tion-knows how a story increas-
es, until, out of an inadvertence,
or mistake, or out of nothing at
all, there arises such a stream of
evil that neither man nor maid
can swim through it. It rolls
over its victim tide of black
despair; and in that community
the faint can never be outlived.
Gossip is the cruellest off-shoot
of mans superiority in speech to
the dumb, ungossiping, harmless
beasts. Gossip is He'll loosed on
the helpless.

UPWARD AND ONWARD.

Each man must answer for
himself What hast thou learned
of Truth?" and the more of truth
he knows the more generous and
tender will he grow towards
those who have mounted less
high than he towards the broad
Ell outlook that awaits all who
strive upward. They who see
most are they who then see still
more to see. 1t is the narrow
valley -dweller who is most posi-
tive that his horizon includes all
things visible. The smaller he
is the more positive is he and
the more to be pitied. Truth
beckons him onward unsuccess-
fully.

GROVER SINGS OLD SONGS.
Holds the Tariff Question Above
Every Other Issue.

New York, March Sin an interview
by a reporter for the Times today this
question was asked ex-Presideat Cieve-
land:
1--WE have a situation now IN which the
Republicans are claiming to be able to
eliminate the trust evil by publicity meas
ures and by the enforcement OF certain
acts regulating commerce, while the Dem
ocrats and some part Of the independent
voters. on the other hand. claim that the
Only adequate remedy is the reform OF
the tariff, which gives TO the trusts the
monopoly they enjoy and hence enables
them to endanger the prosperity OF the
country. In view of this situation, will
you state what part you think trusts
and tariff will play in the campaign OF
1907"
The ex-president said in reply:
You may say this for me-that Mr.
Cleveland gave il as his opinion that the
trust question would not be eliminated
from the next presidential canvass and
expressed himself as being entirely IN
able TO see how the question could be
wholly divorced from the tariff issue"
Then he added:
ITO say nothing Of the absolute ne
cessity of a good, old-fashiOned insist
ence upon tariff reform for its own sake
and what it would do for the people of
the country"
Mr.. Cleveland was asked if he thought
siAer would figure at all as an issue in
the Democratic party. and he said:
II did not know that anyone thought
about silver nowadays.

DECISION IS
FOR oKEEE
Defeated Jimmy Britt on the
Sixth Round.
BRITT GUILTY OF A FOUL
Money Placed on the Wrong
Man This Time.

Portland, Ore, March 9.-Jack O'Keefe.
Of Chicago. was given the decision on
a foul tonight in the sixth round of a
contest with Jimmy Britt, of San Fran
cisco, at the Pastime club. Referee Jack
Grant claimed that Britt hit O'Keefe be-
low the belt with his left in a mix-up,
and accordingly sent Britt to his cornerS
awarding the contest TO O'keefe- From
beginning to end Britt had the fight well
in hand, and in the sixth round had
O'Keefe going. It was clearly apparent
that o Keefe, who was bleeding profuse-
~ from the nose, and was very groggy,
could not last another round. O Keefe
went to his knees twice in the sixth
from Britt's terrific let's in the stomach
and rights on the face.
Britt assumed his customary crouching
attitude in the ring, while O'Keefe stood
straight. In the first round Britt as
sumed the aggressive, and before a dozen
blows were struck O'Keefes nose was
bleeding profusely.
In the beginning of the sixth round the
referee warned Britt not to commit a
foul. O'Keefe was apparently strong
when the round opened AM started in TO
mix It up. Britt, who is much the
quicker, used his left effectively on
O'Keefe's stomach and his right on his
face. O'Keefe was clearly in distress, and
then came the blow which lost the fight to
Britt. When Referee Grant awarded the
fight 10 O'Keefe, the crowd swarmed into
the ring and 1t took a dozen policemen TO
prevent q riot. Britt threw up his hands
and protested against the decision, stating
that he had committed no foul
Most of the money on the fight was
placed at odds of TO l, with Britt the
favorite.
Five thousand people witnessed the
fight
DR.. J. D. Fenton was called to examine
O'Keefe. He stated that after an ex-
animation he found that O'Keefe had
been injured by blow struck some dis
lance below the belt.
