He COULDN'T HELP BEING GOOD
A well known preacher recently spoke
. at a religious service in Jail. He
noticed that one Of the convicts seem
ed extraordinarily impressed. After
the service he sought him out and
continued the good work by remark
ing:
my dear sir, hope you will profit
by my remarks just now and become
a new man."
Indeed 1 WILL" was the reply. "Ir
fact, 1 promise you that will never
commit another crime, but will lead ar
exemplary life to my dying day."
5 Good" said the dominic, but are
you sure that you will be able to keer
the promise?"
"Oh, yes" was the cheerful reply oi
the convict. I'm in Jail for life."-

After $4,000 Of Napoleon's soldiers
had been overwhelmed by the advance
Of $4,000 Austrian troops he addressed
them thus: Il am displeased with you.
You have evinced neither discipline
nor valor. You have allowed yourself
to be driven from positions where a
arrested an army. You are no longer
French soldiers. Chief Of staff, cause
1t to be written on their standards,
They are no longer Of the army Of
Italy,"
In tears the battered veterans re-
piled: I'VE have been misrepresented.
The soldiers Of the enemy were three
to one. Try us once more. Place US
in the post Of danger and see If we
do not belong to the army Of Italy"
In the next battle they were placed In
the van, and they made good their
pledge by rolling back the great Aus
trian army.
He is pretty poor sort Of man who
loses courage and fears to face the
world just because he has made mis-
take or a slip somewhere, because his
business has failed, because his prop
erty has been swept away by some
general disaster or because Of other
trouble impossible for him to avert.
This is the test Of your manhood.
10 Of in after
you have lost everything outside Of
yourself? If you lie down now, throw
up your hands and acknowledge your
self worsted there is not much in you.
But If with heart undaunted. and face
turned forward you refuse to give up
or to lose faith in yourself, IL you scorn
to beat retreat, you will show that
the man left in you is bigger than your
loss, greater than your cross and larg-
er than any defeat.
T know no such unquestionable
badge and ensign Of a sovereign mind"
said Emerson, 'as that tenacity Of pur-
pose which, through all changes OF
companions or parties or fortunes.
changes never, bates no 1ot OF neart OF
hope, but wearies out opposition and
arrives at its port" ,. ...
1t Is men like Ulysses S. Grant, who
whether in the conflict Of opposing ar
mics on the battlefield or in the wear
and tear Of civic strife, fighting against
reverses, battling for competence for
his loved ones, even while the hand Of
death lay chill upon him, bates no jot
of heart or hope" that wiring victory
from the most forbidding circum-
stances. 1t is men like Napoleon, who
refuse to recognize defeat, who declare
that Impossible" is not In their vocab-
ularies, that accomplish things.-Suc-

a prim old Quaker spinster one day
attended the marriage Of her grand

The old lady was at her best on this

The open season for salmon fishing

the mouth of the Illinois river opens
January /, and continues until March
Is when there is close season until
April 10 when fishing can again be
carried on until August lst, when the
season closes for the remainder Of
the year.
The demand for Rogue river salmon
promises to be larger than ever and the
price is also likely to go higher owing
to the competition OF the cold storage
shippers of Portland. Such is the de-
mand for the fresh salmon In the East
that fish as small as 20 pounds will
be shipped. This prospect of ready
sale and good prices has attracted
many fishermen to Grants Pass, which
Is the headquarters for Rogue river
fishing, and there will be more boats
than for some years past. During
the close season of this FALL number
Of Rogue river fishermen went to the
