A Man Who Does Things.

+. j. Mathews was in town a couple
of days the first of this week. When
Ed blows in we like to get hold of him
because he has lot of irons in the fire
and is good for one or more interesting
items
We saw by Grand Junction papers
that he had been down there on canning
factory business and so we tackled him
about that. You know there are times
when he who furnishes information does
not want it all published. This was
one Of the times. About all that can
be said now is that a canning factory
to cost S5O.O will be put up at Grand
Junction next year. Machinery cannot
be secured this year and besides. the
Mesa county Elbertas were hit pretty
hard by the frost. Mr.. Mathews says
they will have lots of fruit in that
county, but Elberta peaches will be
rather short.
There is more to the canning factory
story but we can't say anything about
it just now.
While on the subject of canning fac
tories. Mr.. Mathews told US something
Of their capacity for taking care of
fnait. We supposed Delta county could
swamp half dozen factories. but it
seems not. He says the one at Paonia
could use every apricot. pear and
cherry in the county and then wish for
more. They will be able to handle six
tons of cherries per day. The factory
pays $50 per ton for them or 81. cents
per pound. According to our informant
we should grow more cherries and pears.
as the factories will offer a ready
market and the profits for growing
them are large.

Only character counts-and then it

Beauty as business is bad habit.
Beauty of face and form are accidents
for which we have no credit in the bank

be honored except the voucher of abil-

right intent-the beauty of soul and

in large degree, can create and con-

learn to manage yourself.
Debt is rope to your foot, cookie

Experience is the germ of power.
The people who do not spend their
money until they get it are the only
ones who are really on solid footing.
If you have not known poverty,
heart-hunger and misunderstanding,
God has overlook ed you, and you are to
be pitied.

Guardian Angels,

1t is a beautiful BELIEF; that from our
birth an angel hovers over our path,
always ready to guide and direct our
steps, and to keep us from evil. Who
would not love to obey the voice Of
such an angel, ands love to see the
beaming smile of approval from such
a guide especially when we know that
that guide always works for our own
good, and gives us no commands which
will be the cause Of injustice, or in
jury, either to ourselves or others:
Reader-little boy or girl-that
something in your heart which you call
your conscience, which teaches you
what is right and what is wrong, and
gives you either pleasure or pain, ac-
cording as you obey or disobey it's
voice. is truly your guardian angel;
and the smile of that God who sees all
you do, and knows even your most
secret thoughts, is better and more
precious than that of even the most
beautiful angel the mind can con-
ceive.
At the outset Of lifs that guardian
speaks very plainly to the child. and
when first disobeyed the pain is sharp
and quick, but by frequent disobe-
dience the voice Of the monitor is less
distinct, or our mental ears berome
dulled, and we cease to listen to its
voice altogether. The sharpness of
the pain is gone; yet, though dulled
and hlunted. and we cease to recog-
nize It as the sting Of accusing con-
science, the pain is none the less felt.
Still, that angel is very patient and
forgiving, and if we again turn and
seek It's guidance, the voice is soon
plain and Observation-Disclosures gives
pleasure, and the smile of God again
sheds light and warmth through the
heart.

There is a story of d farmer who

After returning to. his native place
he needed some money, and requested
loan from a gentleman in the neigh

complied, and counted out the gold,
when the farmer Immediately wrote a
receipt.
'"And what is this, man?" cried Mr..
Stewart, on receiving the slip of

'Yes, SIR

ness. He called Pete,. and Michael
upstairs and asked who had drawn
them. Michael. confessed he had, but
said he thought he could rub them out
again. The cardinal explained to him
that 1t was all right 50 far as the wall
was concerned. He took Michael and
sent him to a drawing master and
gave Peter. a better position. And
Michael worked hard at his drawings,
learned diligently and became the re-
nowned Michael Angelo. one of the
greatest painters sof his time.

Michael Angelo.

Two boys were herd1ng swine in
Italy. They were evidently discussing
some very important subject, for they
were earnest at it. A man approached.
and the boys separated, each for his
own side of the pasture. The man was
angry and was shaking his hand at
them. The boys said nothing: they
drove their swine In and were quiet as
a mouse about 1t. The man had said
they should stay out until dark, and
the sun had not even set yet. After
they had driven the swine to their
respective places each crept to his
room and took his clothes and tied
them in a bundle. This done, they
both crept down and ran 70 the road
which led to Rome. Ones name was
Peter; the other Michael Angelo. Both
were poor boys. They tramped and
tramped, and the first thing they did
whom they reached Rome was to 90 to
church. After they hae rested ami
prayed they looked for employment.
Peter received employment as the
cooks boy in some cardinals house,
but Michael could hnd nothing to do.
SO he almost despaired.
He went to his friend Peter. who
gave him something to eat and at night
secretly let him ir:., his room in the
attic to sleep. This went on for a
long time. Peter content to let bis
friend do this and Michael content also.

him was Christ Ascending to Heaven" {"

he is very quiet, an able orator and a

THE PRIEST AS A BUSINESS MAN.
Remarkable Success Of Catholic Pas.

Remarkable Success Of Catholic Pas
tors In Financial Affairs.
The proportion Of financial failures
amongst Catholic pastors Is smaller
than amongst any other class of busi-
ness men the world over.
I have heard people from time to
time grow merry at the expense OF
the priest-fi -financier; but I have seen
lay management tried and have fire.
quently seen it given up in disgust,
and even while it lasted 1t was the
priest himself who had to go out and
raise the money for necessary ex-
penses. The methods and principles
of ordinary business are not appli-
cable to conditions in which the obli-
CATION to pay is binding only in con-
science.
The average amount Of business
done annually by. the pastors of the
country reaches a surprising array OF
figures. In this age of brick and NOR
tar there is much to do In the build
ing line, and provision must be made
for future contingencies as we'll as for
present needs. The penny-wise and
pound foolish attitude will not do. The
pastor must be broad enough to lay
the foundations for future growth. To
do this he must sometimes burden the
present generation with debts, but he
is noted the world oyer for his ability
to pay debts. The credit of the church
everywhere throughout the country ia

AMERICA LOSES MILLIONS
Through Young Woman, Formerly o
, This Country. Marryina Abroad.

Through Young Woman, Formerly Of
This Country, Marrying Abroad.
For years the press Of tho United
States has deprecated, more or less
earnestly, the custom many wealthy
American young women have of SELL
ing themselves for titles to foreign
noblemen in search of money. The
effect Of this evil, it is asserted, has
now become apparent in the present
financial strengency.
More than 400 American girls have
married foreigners Of noble families
and many Of them have taken big for
tunes to their European husbands.
A French journal, LIE Petit Parisien,
declared the other day that American
girls who had married abroad, mostly
for foreign titles, had carried with
them to Europe the astonishing sum
Of .$90o, 100000. The Paris writer did
not associate this statement with. the
reports of tight money In America,
yet the fact that hundreds of millions
have gone out Of the country with the
title hunters may we'll occasion a little
financial as we'll as a social specula-
tion.
Henry CIews, the veteran f1nancier,
when asked for an opinion on this es-
innate, said: 49,.
Il think that the statement that
5000, 100000 Of wealth has been taken
out OF this country, or at least that
the ownership Of this vast amount Of
assets, has been transferred to aliens
by the marriage of American girls with
foreigners is conservative. sUndoubt-
edly the withdrawal Of such an enor-
nous sum has an appreciable effect
upon the money market
THE folly of Americans who have
Europamania is extremely costly to
this country. Our tourists spend at
least $150,O00,00O abroad every year,
most of it foolishly."

Dublin. Temperate. Day.

Dublin has a Temperance Day--a
new holiday come to stay and to be-
come a national holiday-inaugurated
last year by the Dublin workmen's
Temperance Committee, in connection
with the celebration Of the anniver-
sary Of Father Mathews crusade
against drink. This year Sept. 9Th
was chosen for a splendid procession
and public meeting around Father
Mathews statue in O'Connell street.
The day was fine. O'Connell street was
a living mass Of people. and the bands
and banners were numerous and in
spring.
Very Rev. Father Aloysius, the Ca
puchin, presided at the meeting. Hon.
VIM. Redmond made a good speech.
He reminded them that the English
government was never interested in
a temperance movement, but encou1.

gathered from 1t, but because also a.

will admit to their columns such ir-
responsible communications as have
recently emanated at Hover, says the
Wallula Gateway. The libelous stories
sent out from there during the past
ten days about the Mata C. Hover

he came here to settle with the boys
for their work in rescuing the Mata

ance.
AS the libel originated in the mind
of the Sunshine editor, he should make
ample retraction. Messrs. Wrigley,
Thrasher and Brake are reckoned
among our best citizens and are de-
termined that they shall be set right
in this matter. While no doubt the

THE KNIFE BEHIND.

With cowardice despicable and
mendacity astounding. that slippery
political pirate, the Evening Bunc''
seeks to evade the responsibility OF us
yiperish attacks on Senator Ankeny
by declaring it has not sought to make
an issue of the senator at any time
and that his own newspaper has fore
ed the discussion. Such treacherous
living should be nailed at the outset.
The "Bunc" was instituted for the
sole purpose of fighting Senator An
keny and, if possible, bringing about
his defeat as a retaliation for the dis
charge of men accused of betraying
the interests of their benefactOr. That
the discharges were warranted is evil
denced by the repetition of betrayal OF
other men who trusted to the false
pledges of the "Bunc-Kees' crowd at
the last county convention.
For week past the "Bunc" contain
ed daily covert filings at the senator,
designed to asperse his character and
ability No attention was paid to the

made holder by being ignored, and es-
poused the cause of another candidate.
regardless of its oft repeated declara-
ton of loyalty to Walla Walla and
Walla 'Walla's interests. 1t may be re-
marked, also in passing that the mask
was not thrown off until certain finan-
cial arrangements had been completed.
Walla Walla people should holly re-
sent this resurrection Of the gang
sters who are seeking to further their
own selfish ends and vengeful aims
by sacrificing, if possible, the interests
of the city and county through the re-
tirement of United States senator
chosen as their direct representative.
No mercy should be shown that organ
of the gang which, hiding behind ly-
ing promises for months, filled with
hypOcritical claims to recognition be-
cause of publicly pledged loyalty, now
deliberately seeks to elect an outsider
to the high office.
Recognition or patronage of an organ
which has sold out to men whose po-
liticaI success is inimical to Walla
Walla is a direct tribute-a handing
over of the sinews of war to the en-
envy Local pride should play a lead
ing part in this matter-even with
such an irresponsible. purchasable
sheet as the Evening Bunc.'
