Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1904-10-14

We talk about the care-free days Of
childhood. Why do we remember these
days with such delight? Was 1t be-
cause we had nothing to do but to
play? No. Many of US had errands
and chores that kept US busy from
morning until night. 1t was not idle
ness that gave US happiness. What,
then. is the secret of the happiness of
childhood? The question is answered
in one word, Hope AS children we
hoped for something new, something
better tomorrow than the good that
came to-day. Or if to-day CHANGED to
have more of tears than of smiles we
hoped for a brighter tomorrow. As
children we believe in people and in
the world, we trust that tomorrow
will bring right the trials of to-day.
Hope smooths out the wrinkles Of to-
day and prepares for a beautiful to-
morrow. Hope works hard at the task
at hand and never worries. Worry is
fear. Fear is the devil" HOPE fin
ishes up the duties Of to-day and be-
lieves in tomorrow. Hope goes to bed
to sleep, not to toss on a wakeful Dill
low. Hope has steady nerves and
courage. Hope never fears. Hope
never weeps. Hope never lags. Hopes
efforts are always healthy, vigorous
and in some measure successful. Hope
Is the hfe-saving quality. Fortunate
Is he who passes from childhood to
manhood with hope. When hope dies,
then dies strength and courage. Then
do we perish.

An Interesting Case

An amusing case has been occupying
the attention of four of our distinguish
ed lawyers and two of our best magis-
trates the past two days. 1t is the
case of Mr.. Stephen Morris VS.. Tom
Coleman and Tom Coleman vs.. Mr..
Morris. The extent of the damage is
so complex and there are SO a knot
ty proposition Of law involved that a
decision is not expected right away and
may require at least two or three sleep
less nights.
The first case was that of Tom Cole
man VS.. Mr.. Morris, who was a tenant
last year on Mr.. Morris land. He
sued Mr.. Morris for $3.50 for one-third
of the guano which the landlord refuS-
ed to Jay.
Mr.. Morris then had Tom indicted for
burning rails on Morris place and as
sessed the damage at $500. and he also
accused Tom of keeping his old horse
fat on apples picked UP under the Nor
riS apple trees. These apples WarG
worth $25 per year.
Toms big eyes bulged when he found
that Mr.. Morris a a balance of about
$60.00 against him, SO he remembered
that one night after that old horse got
in the apple orchard, he got the colo
and the horse doctor was called. Tom
calculated hat he was out of time AM
doctors bills for a colicky horse eating
apples that won't no good ceptin fe
to give the collie. about $500. SO there
it stands. Toms side of the ledger
shows $500 for collie and $500 foI
guano, while Mr.. Morris ledger shows
burnt rail $500 and $50. for apples

Dewey at San Domingo.

Taking it all in all, hat is a very
rich story Of Admiral Dewey's visit to
San Domingo in the Mayf1ower. He
had been sent there with a commission
to investigate affairs and make a. re-
port, but he failed to land. 1t has been
said that the excuse he gave to the gov
eminent was that there was a good
deal of shooting going IN at the time
and he was a fraid to land on that &C
count. But later information is to the
effect thai Dewey was not so much
afraid Of the guns as he was of the ne
gro in the %woodpile. When the May
mingo and William F.. Powell, the
American minister, came aboard, Ad-
miral Dewey and the other officers dis
covered, greatly to their surprise, that
he was a negro. If they had gone
ashore they would have been obliged
to call on Minister Powell, n be en-
tertained at dinner by him, and they
baked at the idea. They even CRITICS.
ed Mr.. Loomis because he had not told
them that Minister Powell was a negro,
SO. that they might have some excuse
ready when he came boa While
they were trying to find a way out of
the dilemma it was aScertained that a
ShlIlnlSH was going on between govern
ment troops and insurgents four or
five miles from the city. That furnish
ed IN excuse. admiral Dewey an
ounce that he could not think of per-
hitting any of his officers to go on
shore and expose themselves to the
danger of being hit by stray bullets.
He told Mr.. LOOMS he could go ashore
if he cared TO. but Mr.. LOOMS con-
Guided that he would be safer on the
ship.
Instead of staying several days at
Santo Domingo, as had been intended,
the May1ower hurried away before the
distant firing could be stopped. There
was nc opportunity to study conditions
at the capital.
Undoubtedly it was a very comical af-
fair, and speaking to the point, The
New Orleans Item says that it sis hard
to believe that LOOMS did not know
that the Minister to San Domingo is a
negro and it is equally hard to under
stand why he of the party. at least,
should set himself up to rebuke the
precedent established by his president"
About the only thing proved by the
incident is that Dewey is more afraid
of a negro than he is of a bombshell.-
