A WINNING SCHEME.
The Power of Timid Beauty to Dis
arm Wrathful shoppers.

A woman whose stern visage spelled
trouble, says the Philadelphia Record,
stepped up TO the complaint desk in a
big store. Back Of the desk was a timid
miss-one of those Dresden doll girls
who never seem TO lose their baby ways
and at the sight of the wrathful
shopper she seemed TO shrink a bit,
while into her wide blue eyes came
what the poets would style the look of
a startled fawn. The indignant Gus
toner began a TRADE about some mis-
take that had been made in connection
with a purchase, but her anger disap-
peared when she saw how much the
shopgirl seemed to take the matter to
heart. Finally, after calmly explaining
the fault, she went away smiling. ITS
a great scheme" remarked the observ-
ant manager with the air of a man be-
slowing bouquets on himself. You
ee,Sin every large business establish
ment there are bound to be mistakes
occurring all the time. When Gus
toners come back and kick about err
rors they are usually in an unreason-
able frame of mind. II there was a
man back of the complaint desk or a
strongminded woman, we'd have all
kinds Of trouble smoothing out the
kinks, because the customers would
keep their fighting mood on when
they encountered somebody who looked
able to take care OF himself. But to
go up against pretty, timid girl dis
arms them, and in a minute they are
cool and ready to talk over the situa.
ton peaceably. The men kckers could
not raise a row with a handsome girl,
and the women-well. their motherly
instincts are touched and they become
good humored."

MINsTRELs SUNDAY NIGHT.
Mahara's Aggregation VIII BE at the
Frazer March 12.

One of the newest departures in
the school of modern minstrelsy is the
engagement by Mahara Bros. of three
musical stars who as yet have not
been seen or heard except in concert
work in which field they each have
reputation as musicians that is un-
equaled.
A. NJ. Damon, late of Theodore
Thomas forces, an instrumentalist
whose marvellous success as a violin
list and celloist in the leading cities
of the country has long been COM
mented upon by the foremost Ameri-
can critics, and on whom has been be-
slowed the title of Wizard of the
bow" BLACK Paganini," and "Musi-
cal wonder of the age"
The American nightingale, Louise
Loston, a prima donna of great pow
err is another feature this season.
The wonderful purity and range of
her voice makes one forget the story
of their sorrows and has earned for
her the greatest singer of her race"
Bessie La Belle, a truly phenome-
nal contralto, whose melodious voice

tic glamor over her auditors and
proves a fitting triumph of the mas
ter musicians art.
Music is but a part of the Mahara
Bros entertainment this year. Many
other and novel features are offered,
among the better known being Cor
don C. Collins, well remembered as
a knock about comedian and dancer;
Walter Maxwell, trick bicyclist, and
John English, hoop controller, both of
whom defy all the laws of gravity;
Shaw and Clifton, comedy team; Le-
roy Bland, ballad singer; Dudley and
Crosby, comedy sketch artists; Nor
gan Prince, comedian; Petite and
Mathews, topical .songsters and many
others
Mahara's minstrels will be seen at

wish to take away for all time the
character Of the squirrel. He is a
thief and a murderer. Admired by ig.
norant city people and by journalists,
he devotes his life to eating the eggs
and killing the young Of harmless and
useful birds, which, If permitted to
live and increase, would protect the
forests from harmful insects. By kill.
ing these birds the squirrel takes rank
as forest destroyer Moreover, the
red squirrel is not the only sinner. In
my opinion the gray is almost, II not
quite, as bad.
i have killed many squirrels caught
IN the act Of eating eggs Of young
birds. Any bird that selects a nesting
place which is also adapted to the use
OF squirrels is almost certain to be
elected. When a forest has been de.
stroyed by fires, lumbermen or insects,
II Is almost impossible for natural re.
foresting to take place II squirrels are
abundant In an adjoining tract, because
they eat the seeds Fifty seeds per
head each day would be a low esti-
mate. Yet even this would make 49,.
$50 in a year. And seeds are not the
only thing. In winter the ground is
often strewn with twigs that have been
stripped Of buds by squirrels. The
trees attacked are generally situated
at the border Of q dense forest and
would, II left alone, yield the greatest
seed crop. A single squirrel thus de-
stroys in one day thousands Of seeds in
the germ. In Montana I have seen
the grays rob birds nests.-Country

Most of the O. II. & n. Employees Are
FiNtures-A Large Percentage of
Them Owning Their Homes-Offi-
cials Greatly Appreciate Improving
Character of Employees.

That the character and class of
railroad men in the West is improv-
ing constantly is the declaration of
William Connolly, o. r. & N. train
master for the Washington division.
More and more of the permanent
and steady class of trainmen and en-
ginemen are coming to the West and
settling with their families at the
railroad centers making it less diff
cult TO operate the roads and more
pleasant for officials" said Mr.. Con-
molly today to the East Oregonian.
Il believe the age of the railroad
boomer is past. Few roads encour-
age the migratory class of men any
longer. Railroads, like private en-
ployers, want men upon whom they
can depend. The operation of a rail-
road is a complicated and complex
task, and unless the best men are
available that task becomes more and
more difficult and costly.
Officials appreciate the improving
character of railroad men and rejoice
more than anyone else to see a man
buy home and settle down and try
TO be useful and permanent en-
ploye,
MANY of our brakemen, firemen,
conductors and engineers in Tekoa,
Starbuck, The Dalles, Spokane, Una
tilla, Huntington and La Grande, now
own beautiful homes, their families
are contented, well housed and happy,
and the larger percentage of the en-
ployes are permanent Twenty years
ago, a railroad mems belongings were
usually carried in a grip and at the
least provocation the boomer would
quit his job and go to greener pas
lures.
This class of men is seen no more
in the West. They are found in small
numbers on new roads that are be-
ing opened up, but stay but a short
time at any point. The o. R. & N
enjoys a large number of fixed and
permanent employees and highly ap-
preciates the fact"

There Is n Peculiar Potency In Belief
In Ones own Power.
Achievement is less a matter of natu-
raj ability and external circumstance
than of the habitual mental attitude.
Success, happiness and accomplishment
Of all kinds are born of confidence,
buoyancy and faith. Discomfort, self
distrust and hesitancy are all cankers,
eating into every part of life and de-
Stroying force and perfection at every
point.
There is peculiar potency in belief
in ones own power. This need have
no element Of egotism in it, only a
steadfast trust in oneself. Yet even
childish self conceit is better than
weak depreciation Of self and the pal
sled muscle resulting. To believe in
ones own success, to think and act al.
ways with confident assurance that il
is possible to do anything and all things
that one desires to do-such an attitude
buoys up the spirit, sends the currents
Of energy and skill pulsing through the
body and makes the maximum of ac.
complishment possible.
There is nothing of this nature that
will make hard work unnecessary. But

Moving Pictures and Seasickness.
Successive pictures have been taken
at intervals during an ocean voyage to
show the life aboard ship. the swing
of the great seas and the ToRlng and
pitching of the steamer The heave
and swing Of the steamer and the
mountainous waves have been so
realistically shown on the screen IN the
theater that some squeamish specta-
tors have been made almost seasick. 1t
might be comforting to those who were
made unhappy by the sight of the
heaving seas to know that the operator
who took one series of sea pictures
when lashed with his machine in the
lookout place on the foremast Of the
steamer, suffered terribly from seasick-
ness and would have been glad enough
to set his foot on solid ground; never
theless he stuck to his post and COM
pleted the series.-From "Stories of In

ABUSE OF HOSPITALITY.
The Way 1t Was Rebuked by an
Oriental Philosopher.

Oriental Philosopher.
Hospitality is an excellent thing"
said the story teller, "but it is open to
abuse. Let me tell you how the orien-
tai hospitality Of Nasr Eddin, great
man Of the east, was abused many
years ago.
From a distant village a poor man
came to Nasr Eddin and made him a
present of a hare. Nasr Eddin was de-
lighted with his gift. The poor man on
the strength of it stayed with him a
month.
"a short time after a stranger came
with his entire family to Nasr Eddin's
house.
"'We,' the stranger explained. are
friends of the man who gave you the
hare
"Nasr Eddin welcomed the visitors
warmly, and they stayed two weeks.
'They had not been gone long when
another family of strangers arrived.
"'Whom have l the honor to re-
ceiveT said Nasr Eddin.
Friends of the friends of the man
who gave you the hare was the reply.
"Nasr Eddin looked grave. He did
not invite these guests indoors. He
served them on the lawn with cups Of
some clear fluid. Tasting this fluid,
they made wry faces, for it was moth
ing but warm water.
what is this you offer US, oh, Nasr

fully.
