An Abscnt-Minded Painter.

no one to act as intermediary. At last
she resolved to Introduce herself.
When she paid her visit she found the
studio door open, and, pushing cur-
tain TO one side. stood before the art

sent-mindedly. said; These lines seem
TO be all right, what do you think?
And to her murmurel response went
on; But the eyes OF the nuns do not

Oft In the Silly Night.


Oft in the Silly night,
Ere Stun hers chain has bound me,
Fond Memory brings the light
OF other days around me:
The smiles. the tears,
OF boyhood's years,
The words of love then spoken;
The eyes that shone,
Now dimmed and gone,
The cheerful hearts now broken.
Thus in the Silly night
Ere slumber's chain has bound me,
Sad Memory brings the light
OF other days around me.
When | remember all 4
The friends so linked together
I've seen around me fall,
Like leaves In wintry weather,
| fee like one
Who treads alone
Some banquet hall deserted.
Whose lights are fled,
Whose garlands dead,
And all but he departed.
Thus In the Silly night,
IRE slumber's chain has bound me,
Sad Memory brings the light
OF other days around me.

SOME PERTINENT REMARKS
A Subscriber Thinks 1t Bad to
BE Otherwise.

I have noticed that there are large
number of people in this neighborhood
who can never say good word for any
thing that relates to Astoria. There,
seems to be a systematic effort on the
part Of these people to prevent the ad-
vance that the city is now making To
any one who has been observing the
local conditions for the past year he
can not fail to see that Astoria has
progressed. Our stores are now more
metropolitan looking than they have
ever been and this is an indication
that our city is making progress.
Business conditions are such that they
are warranted in making these invest
ments. To me this Is great source Of
pleasure for l have watched the pro-
gress of the city for several years, and
can not think of any time in the past
within my recollection when things had
such prosperous look on as they have
just now. There is one thing that has
been an important factor in this ad-
vance and that is the loyalty of the
citizens TO this burg and to the mer-
chants who have invested their money
In buildings and stock in order to give
F.. this city an air of business respectable
ity. There are yet fe wof these peo-
Pile left and they will ever be loyal to
their town. On the other hand there
are quite n number of people in the
town who are using every effort to pre-
vent the growth of the city whether
through spite or envy. They are here
and they are in evidence. They have a
peculiar important air about them
that says, l have the honor of trading
in city that is city, that has some
thing more ahead of 1t than mere pros
poets. II you want something good go
out of town for 1t. What can this moss
grown town produce that amounts to
anything? They are ready to deny
when confronted with their doings, and
assert that they are loyal.
Now. I ask, Mr.. Editor, whether or
not something can be done with these
people SO that they go on record. There
is no question that If their doings are
made public they will pull In their
horns and take to tall timber Now the
damage that such people as these do
can not be estimated. but they do dam
age there is no doubt of. had an idea
that this business had pretty well ceas-
ed but my attention has been againlate
ly called 10 it. 1t is evident, II you will
but consider. Think of the express
company's business, of the mail order
business for things bought out of AS
torla when Astoria merchants and AS
torla people have as good or better at
just as low figures. Articles may be
manufactured here and the quality
might be even better than the out-of-
town articles, and yet some will take
the product of other places in prefer
enee.
Is not this suicidal policy?
