Good Fisher.
John Ross was Scotch minister
who flourlshed In the early part of the
seventeenth century. Tales of his won
derful deeds are told 10 this day in his
former parish of. Blair. At one time
the reverend gentleman walked to
Mause. u distance Of about three miles,

the minister, Il have come all the way
expressly TO see you, ana | must have
cast" The farmer, who was a very
strong man and had never been beaten
in fist fight, offered to fight for it.
''All right" said the minister; and he
gave the farmer such mauling that
he was glad to give up his rod. But it
was Il different kind of fishing that the
minister had come for. He asked the
farmer 10 keep the rod and conduct
him to his house at Mause. When they
arrived the minister said, Now, you
go on your knees and pray,g telling
him that lie would not leave TIL he did
so. =.
So the farmer fell OIL his knees and
cried, "oh. Lord, deliver me from this
man" Stop" said the minister. THAT

be able TO do as we'll Now, you have
to promise to come TO the kirk next
Sunday This the farmer did. Not
long afterward he became leading
elder.

friendship, something serious has come

Graham in the onlooker. ~ don't think
that any one can or ought to afford to
have more than one or two really init
mate friends. III love has gone with
friendship-tha is, IL the gates OF
paradise have been opened to you, and
the guardian angel has sheathed his
flaming sword and admitted you
through the portals then you must
have given everything. and you have
very little left to give. A man can
have a man friend and woman
woman, because there are places where
men meet men and women meet wo-
men alone, neutral ground where the
other sex cannot enter because of its
limitations, and there real friendship
may live and thrive on the crumbs
which fall from the rich mans table.
4. For friendship implies something Sc
rious. You must give of yourself, your
real self, and once given 1t cannot be
taken back. One has no right TO give
up friendship unless the other per-
son agrees or unless 1t has become an
absolute lmpossibility, and even then

night In communication directed to
the chamber of commerce asking that

merce was OF the opinion that regattas
were not with the scope Of the cham
Der, II had no objection to appointing
a committee to confer with like com
mittee from other organizations to
call a meeting for that purpose. Mr..
b. Van Dusen was enthusiastic for a
regatta, believing that one SHOULD be
held this year by all means as there
would be thousands OF eastern visitors

In the matter and no doubt viii con-
tribute literally insuring the largest

The suggestion made by Judge Bowlby
OF combining II with an agricultural

Of intending investors to Astoria who
are interested more In the products of
