Good Manners.

A friend Of yours and mine has very
justly defined good breeding to be ''thc
result Of much good sense. some good
nature and a little self denial for the
sake of others, and with view to OBJ
tain the same indulgence from them"
Taking this for granted-as | think 1t
cannot be dlsputed-it is astonishing to
me that anybody who has good sense
and good nature can essentially fail
In good breeding. As to the modes Of
It, indeed, they vary according to per-
sons, places and circumstances and are
only to be acquired by observation and
experience, but the substance Of 1t Is
everywhere and eternally the same.
Good manners are to particular socie-
ties what good morals are to society in
general-thelr cement and security.
And as laws are enacted to enforce
good morals or at least to prevent the
III effects Of bad ones, so there are GER
tain rules Of civillty, universally i'm
piled and received, to enforce good
manners and punish bad ones.-Ches-
terfield.

Made For Fat Men,

One OF the narrow arches in the gal
lery Of the chapel at Columbia unlver-
sity is not exactly symmetrical, al
though the defect Is not noticeable to
the casual observer. The reason for
the widening Of the arch after It's orig
inal construction had rise in some
what humorous occurrence. One Of
the early visitors was a remarkably fat
man, who found himself wedged into
the arch when he tried to squeeze
through and was extricated with some
difficulty. The builders, recognizing
the possibility Of other fat people be-
ing numbered among the future WIS.,
itors, decided to widen the arch. sac
rifcing symmetry and harmony to
practical need, as the pier was so con
structed as to bear no loss Of width
on one of its sides.-New York Globe

I'M. MAN Wl.h the Mooden HAD.


A young Scotsman was shown into
the office Of great engineer at Blr-

extraordinary shape, and at his nerv-

let the hat slip. 1t fell with hollow
thud upon the floor The engineer look
ed with astonlshment at the thing The
owner picked 1t up and apologized for
the noise 1t had caused. 1t was OF
wood, he explained. He had made It
himself, turning It with his fathers
lathe. The engineer thought that there
must be something in a man who could
think out and make such thing as
this. He forthwith engaged him. kept
an eye upon him and gave him work
of responsibility. The engineer was
Boulton; the new man, William Muir
dock. The man with the wooden hat
was sent away to Cornwall, and when
he returned 1t was to light up his mas
ter's premises with gas. The mind
which first practically applied the coal
gas to the purpose Of lighting lived in
side that wooden hat.-St. James Ga

Rig Pear Yield.

A. Chandler, whose home and or

duces figures which will make some
Of the local growers think twice and
figure again before they will announce
that they can beat them, says the

These trees occupy less than a
quarter of an acre and yet their COM
blned product this year brought Mr..
Chandler $456. which is about $1S a
tree. At this rate an acre yielding
the same quantity per tree would pro-
duce $1,000 worth of this choice fruit.
The aggregate yield Of these "a trees
for the last three years has brought
Mr.. Chandler $1062 in cash.
One apple tree Of the Yellow New
ton variety, which stands alone in the
same orchard, yielded this year 19
boxes Of first grade apples, which
were sold at 1925 a box, and five
boxes OF culls which brought 81 a
box, making the value Of the yield
Of that one tree $47.75.

Caribou Horns.

Not one out of every ten female carl
bou has horns. When they do have
them, they are much smaller than
those Of the bull The horns Of the
female have, however, m general many
more branches than those Of the bull,
and they are much more regularly and
finely formed. The cows carry their
horns much longer than the bulls.
They have been seen with their horns
in the month of April. The old bulls
shed their horns from the 10th to the
last Of November. They hardly ever
carry them after the month Of Novem-
Der. The young bulls shed theirs from
the first Of December until the middle
Of February. The younger the animal
the longer he retains his horns.

HOW WALL STREET
LOST THE MONEY.
PC.LIC is THE REAL
LOSER, NOT PROMOTE,
Baker City Democrat Gives Clear Dl-
agnosis OF the Real Manner in
Which Water Is Squeezed From
Worthless StOcks-Premoter Of
Wildcat Company Squeals, But Has
Really Lost Nothing-Does Not
Affect National Wealth.

AS a result of the great shaking
mp Wall street has been passing
through lately, the financial menag-
erie in the stock exchange say they
have lost three hundred million dol
lars. We are tempted to laugh at
their discontinue, says the Baker City
Democrat.
The country is passing through
the most prosperous period it has
experienced for years; labor is well
paid; factories are crowded with
orders; harvests have been bountiful
and prices at the top notch.
The great west is taking very little
interest in Wall street troubles,
and the nation for. some good reason
has ceased to kneel in supplication
at the feet of Wall street gamblers.
Put they say they have lost $780,
100000. Our first premise is, one
cannot lose what never existed, and
the loss they speak of never was tam
gible wealth. Let US reason minute:
Ten men of Baker City promote the
Hot Springs and Cold Water Railway;
the Cyclone Aerial Navigation COM
pany; the Baker City Hot Air Manu-
featuring company etc, ad libitum.
In the name Of each Of these corpora
tions they issue 10000 shares of
stock at the par value of $40, that
means that each company is capitali-
zed for $10.00O.000.
-
equally. that means that each of the
10 men holds shares of the face value
of 100000, against which there is
not a dollars worth of legitimate as
sets, not even a roll top desk nor an
office duster. Would any one Of our
readers contend that these men are
really worth 100000 each? They
will be that, it is true, when the
gullible public buys their stock, and
as their stock. by judicious advertis-
ing and artistic lying seems to be in
public demand they advance the
price.
The public still keep on buying
the individuals fail to materialize and
the dear public lets go at any old
price: the promoters buy the stock
back and find the public now too
skeptical to touch it; it loses its COM
mercial value, rather its artificial
value.
Does any one Of our readers say
there has been a financial loss to the
promoter? The people have lost, the
promoter gained, and now that he
cannot resell his worthless paper he
howls like whipped cur and says:
"My loss is more than ! can bear"
Starting with nothing, sold worthless
securities for par, bought back at a
price fixed by himself on the ex-
change, he has them now, he cannot
rehypothicate them, for the people,
the public, are on TO his scheme, but
has he not the difference between
what the dear people paid him and
what he paid the dear people.
And does he not ride in his motor
car and live in a summer cottage and
travel In his own private car while
his victims walk? Who has lost by
the transaction? There has been no
elimination Of national wealth, the
volume Of money in circulation is
identically the same, the granaries
and warehouses are just as full as
they were before the smash came, the

Cascaden was authorized by George

in Alaska. Cascaden located three
valuable claims on Cleary creek,
which he turned over to Dunbar,
Scott and Bennett, with the under
standing that they would record the
claims. This they neglected to do un-
til the original stalking Of the claims
was declared void because Of lapse
Of time. Afterwards they recorded
the claims In their own names.
