It's a mighty curious thing, but lot
Of men who have no claim on you and
who wouldn't think Of asking for
money will panhandle both sides Of a
street for favors that mean more than
money. OF course it's the easy thing
and the pleasant thing not to refuse,
and, after all, most men think II
doesn't cost anything but few strokes
Of the pen, and so they will give fel-
low that they wouldn't ordinarily play
on their friends as practical Joke
nice sloppy letter of Introduction to
them or hand out to a man that they
wouldn't give away as a BOBBY prize
a letter of recommendation in which
they crack him mp as having all the
qualities necessary for an AL Sunday
school superintendent and bank presi'
dent
Now that you are boss you will
find that every other man who comes
to your desk is going to ask you for
something; in fact, the difference be-
tween being a sub and a boss is large
ly matter of asking for things and
of being asked for things. But it's
just as one of those poets said-you
can't afford TO burn down the glue
factory to stimulate the demand for
glre stock, or words TO that effect.
OF course | don't mean by this that
/ want you to be one of those fellows
who swell out like ready made shirt
and brag that they never borrow and
never lend" They always think that
this shows that they are sound, con-
servative business men. but as mat
ter of fact it simply stamps them as
superior, l know, to say that you nev-
er borrow, but most men have to at
one time or another, and then they
find that the never-borrow-never-lend
platform is mighty inconvenient one
to be standing on. BE just in business
and generous out OF it. A fellows
generosity needs heap of exercise to
keep it in good condition, and the
hand that writes out checks gets
cramped easier than the hand that
takes them in. You want to keep
them both timber.
While l don't believe in giving with
q string tied TO every dollar or doing
up gift in so many conditions that
the present is lost in the wrappings,
it's good idea not to let most people
feel that money can be had for the
asking. If you do, they're apt to go
into the asking business for living.
But these millionaires who give away
hundred thousand or so with the un-
derstanding that the other fellow will
raise another hundred thousand or so
always remind me OF lot Of boys
coaxing a dog into their yard with a
hunk Of meat SO that they can tie a
tin can to his tail.

"The Englishman looked hurt; but,
with sigh, he explained:
"'We have them in nearly all the old
country churches. Do you see that
small glass window through the wall
beside the altar? That was made at
the time when lepers were at large
and they attended church services.
They were of course not allowed in

heard the services through that hole,
which is called the squint window, but
more often the hagioscope.'

Gettina a Line on Men,

You can tell whole lot about your
men from the way in which they come
in and the way in which they go home,
but because a fellow is in the office
early 1t doesn't always mean that he's
painting to begin work. 1t may mean
that he's been out all night And when
you see fellow poring over his books
after the others have quit 1t doesn't
always follow that he's so wrapped
up in his work that he can't tear him
self away from it. 1t may mean that
during business hours he had his head
full of horse racing instead of figures
and that he's staying to chase up the
80 cents which he's out in his balance.
You want to find out which.
The extra poor men and the extra
good men always stick their heads up
above the dead level OF good enough
men-the first to holler for help and the
second to get an extra reach. And
when your attention is attracted to one
of these men follow him up and find
out just what sort of soil and fertilizer
he needs to grow fastest, 1t isn't
enough to pick likely stock; you've got
to plant 1t where the conditions are
right to develop its particular possibil-
tiles. - From "Old Gorgou Graham:

chant to His Son" by George Horace

In order to insure conditions for
the best work in the primary
grades, the board has determined
10 apply to this school, the usual
regulation in force in the we'll or
,ganized schools of the state. Pupils
FOR the primary grade must enter
by Sept. IS. at the latest. Child
zen who will be six years of age by
Jan. I, 1906, must enter now, if
they are to attend school this school
year. In other words all children
who are six years old now, or who
will be six by Jan. I, 'o6 must Ell
ger by Monday, Sept. IS Or wait
until Sept. 1906 to enter.
This provision is necessary that
rthe teacher may carry to the high
est degree of proficiency the full
years work of the pupils entering
on time, instead Of giving up her
time to going over the work a sec
,ond or third time for Struggling
Corners. No doubt the patrons
will at once see the necessity of
this plan aud cooperate for the
good Of the school.

Seeing Things

Much depends in this life upon
ones ability to see things. Beauty
IS everywhere. But it is often I'M
seen. Only the artist can see
beauty in that which TO others
eyes appears ordinary and uncouth.
The beauty is revealed to him. He
puts his vision into the picture.
Then all can see it.
And there is also beauty in hum
anity that only the right seeing can
find. TO the unseeing eye the ex-
terror of q man may lack all marks
Of goodness or refinement. At the
same time, he who believes in and
loves the divinity that is in man,
Will see i'll the same person some
thing that is fine. That is one of
the great things about Jesus Of
Nazareth He saw what others
failed 10 see. He saw beneath the
homely, rugged faces of some Gal
liloan fishermen types of goodness
and gre ,tness which the world had
no, sc Il. Also He saw what He
had in himself. That is to say
the artist sees beauty because he
his a beautiful soul. Christ saw
beauty and truth and love because
these qualities were III himself.
DO YOU know it is great TO be
able TO see the charm that is IN yCuo
Great to be able to see the flneness
and radiance in human souls be-

Change in Method Taxing Proposed.

Change i'll Method Taxing Proposed.
Assessor Harry Van Horn was in
town the first of the week on his way
home from the meeting Of the State
Board Of Equalization at Olympia. Mr.
Van Horn made no objection to the
present assessment of Benton county
but made n recommendation to the
Board that the new county be placed
in the same class as franklin county
which would reduce the valuation on
land taxed for state purposes to 50 80
per acre which the board will I'M
doubtedly adopt.
a change of plan in levying taxes
was proposed at the meeting In the
future the full value of the property
instead of l-3 or - or other practical
part of the value is to be used in assess
ing. The chief benenfit for the new
above $500, the amount Of the eXemp-
ton in this state, would have to CON
tribnte to the. public treasury while
under the old plan men having 5000
TO $500 of Property escaped all payment
AID the whole burden Of taxation was
thrown upon a very much smaller
number of taxpayers than should be
the case. As we said before i'm the
Courier we believed it would be very
advantageous to the new county to
send Mr.. Van Horn to shs meeting
and the results will support:o previous
assertion.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-06-08

The Revue Scientifique has been ask
ing what muscles tire soonest, with the
conclusion that 1t is not the muscles In
use, but those under tension. although
doing no work. The writer urges us tC
use the arms and legs less and the back
and neck more, for on them comes the
greatest strain. He has been asking
men of all occupations the same ques
tons:
When you have worked much, where
do you feel tired2
Before you were trained did fatigue
show itself In the same regions3
All the answers point to the same
conclusions. The baker who kneads
Dough all night complains of fatigue IL
his legs.
The blacksmith is tired, not in his
arms and shoulders, but In his bach
and loins.
The young soldier, after a march, Ii
especially tired In the back of the neck
even If he has carried no knapsack.
The oarsman who is in perfect train
ing after prolonged exercise gets tired
In his calves and insteps.
These facts point to the conclusion
that in any continued effort we should
try to alter the habit Of contraction
That is to say, the body, like the mind
needs change Of work.

Father Hoberg wrote postal card,
and thereby hangs tale. The post
al card contained about 1900 words
descriptive of Yamhill county, says
the Telephone Register. 1t was sent
to a friend in England and was there
published as a curiosity,
Later it was translated into Ger
man and published in German pa
per. The eye of Mrs. Heinrich Mich
aels fell thereupon. and the glowing
description made such IN impression
on her mind that she rested not
either day or night until she had
written to Father Hoberg and receiv-
ed an answer.
She soon induced her husband to
set out upon a journey to the prom
ised land. They came by way of
California, but that land OF adobe and
greasers did not suit their taste. Last
Wednesday evening at 1880 they
reached McMinnville. on Thursday
morning at 1890 they had bought
property. Fifteen hours of our de-
lightful climate completed the work
so we'll commenced by Father Hoberg
and another family of good people is
added to our rapidly growing popula-
ton.

WIRELESS ON TRAINS.
Union Pacific May Equip Trains With
Marconi Apparatus.

1t is reported from Omaha that the
Union Pacific operating department is
considering the equipping of its
through trains between Portland and
Omaha with wireless telegraphy says
the Oregon Daily Journal. The COM
pany is now experimenting with a sys-
TEN of wireless signaling, in which
the apparatus is attached to the en-
gine cabs and which signals the ap-
proach of locomotives bearing similar
attachments.
E. L. Lomax, general passenger
agent of the Union Pacific at Omaha,
who is in Portland to attend the
transcontinental meeting. was asked
to confirm the report. He said he had
no knowledge of the work in the
operating department of the system
and could neither confirm nor deny
the story. 1t is said that If the new
wireless device proves a success the
Union Pacific will equip all Its over
land trains with wireless telegraph
apparatus and all will carry operators
who will receive and transmit train
orders and commercial kilograms be-
tween stations.

who can merely stew prunes not be-
cause stewing prunes and reading Pro
clus make a delightful harmony, but
because he wants his prunes stewed for
him and chooses to read Proclus by
himself A fullness of sympathy, a
sharing of life one with another, is
scarcely ever looked for except in a
narrow, conventional sense. Men like
to come home and find a blazing fire
and a smiling face and an hour of re-
taxation. Their serious thoughts and
earnest aims in life they keep on one
side. And this is the carrying out OF
love and marriage almost everywhere
in the world, and this the degrading Of
women by both.-From One Of Mrs

The Value of New Iden..

The recognition of the value of new
idea in regard to business point is
leading employers to encourage criti-
cisms and suggestions from employees
in respect to the details of the bust
ness, thus utilizing their microscopic
view rather than depending solely on
the birdseye view which is taken by
the manager. A friendly feeling re-
suits from this attitude, and the en-
ployee takes a deeper interest in his
work, developing his own capacity and
helping the business. To see his idea
carried out by his superiors puts new
life into him and adds new enthusiasm
to his efforts.-Success.
