A Noble Boy.

A certain boy matriculated in
one of the universities of the south.
He was poorly clad. When this
boy paid his board, tuition and
the price of secondhand books,
ne had just IS left. At the end
of the fourth year he took the A.
B." degree and the uext year the
A. NJ" degree. His poor old
widowed mother sold one of the
pillow horses to pay him through
the fifth year. But at the end of
that year he sat among the gradu
ates-dressed in plain brown linen
coat and pants, and no vest. But
he was the honor graduate and at
the head of the class. When a
beautiful gold medal was handed
to him, he stepped from the plat
sorrn and went to the back of the
xuom where sat a homely old
woman dressed in black, and tied
she blue ribbon with the glittering
medal around her neck. She
Buried her wrinkIed face in her
old, drawn hands and wept like a
child. 1t seemed the applause
would never cease. And now ne
IS a corporation counsel at So, 900 a
year, and his mother sits happily
In the cleaning of a beyond, and

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER %, 1907

TIE subject of agriculture is
claiming more and more attention
from colleges, and advancing more
and more in importance in the
minds of the people generally,
showing that this industry is COM
ing to be regarded in higher
light, is in reality being exalted
to the dignity of acalling that claims
some OF the very best material
which is found in American citi-
zenship. Science is elevating
agriculture. It is not only teaching
the farmer new methods and help
ing him to do better than ever be-
fore the same things that he has
long been doing, and thereby to
achieve more remunerative results,
but it is also showing the farmer
how he may use his land and cap
Ital in raising new products, which
he never before thought of grow
ing and which ofteDtimes prove
far more profitable than corn, cot
ton and other ordinary farm pro-
ducts. So successful have these
efforts on the part of science to
promote the progress of agriculture
been, that this calling is becoming
more and more attractive, and the
slogan back to the soil is being
taken up by men of standing and |
intelligence everywhere. College
men as well as others, are coming
to regard scientific farming as a
calling in which they may find
both profitable and agreeable en-
and the result is being
seen in the rapid growth of that
Industry all over the country.

PORTLAND FIRM WILL AID
EilerS Piano House Will Give Free
Concert at Dallas Public
Library Dinner.

Great interest is being taken in the
big anniversary dinner for the public
library, which is to be given Thursday
evening, October II, from 5 80 to 8
o'clock in the Woodman Hall.
Already a large number Of tickets
have been sold, and everything points
to record-breaking crowd.
1t will be typical New England
dinner-Boston baked beans, brown
bread, salads, cold boiled ham, cold
roast meats, doughnuts, apple, mince
and pumpkin pies, tea, coffee, ice
cream, cakes, etc. Doesn't the menu
make one hungry?
Then in addition to this material
feast, a great musical treat is in store
for all who attend the dinner. The
Eilers Piano House Of Portland has
very kindly agreed to send one of
their finest Victor talking machines
and a lot of their choicest records.
One of their men will be in attendance,
and will give splendid concert from
to in the hall.
This concert will give everyone an
opportunity to hear the clear, beautiful
tones of Caruso's tenor, Schumann-
Heinck's glorious contralto, the rich
beauty Of Gadski's voice, and 80 on
through all the list of grand opera
stars. There will be some light,
popular music, too, but all of high
order Of eXcellence-not the trashy
things generally associated with a
talking machine. 1t is believed that
this feature of the entertainment will
be quite as great an attraction as the
dinner. The people of Dallas will
certainly owe the Eilers piano house
debt of gratitude, for this splendid
concert will be given wholly at the
expense Of the firm.
Come, everyone, to the Woodman
Hall, October II, to be refreshed and
amused. 1t will only cost SO cents for
adults and 25 cents for children, there
being no extra charge for the concert

AIRLTE GETS NEW DEPOT
Oregon Railroad Commission Takes
SuVer Case Under Con-
SideratiOn.

The Oregon Railroad Commission
returned to Salem, Saturday, from
Airlie and Suver, where hearings were
held upon complaints by shippers
against the company. At Airlie the
company agreed to build depot and
stock yards as desired, so the proceed
ings were dismissed without prejudice.
At Suver the company submitted
figures to show that business has been
diminishing at the rate of 10 per cent
a year for four years and does not
warrant the employment of an agent.
The shippers replied that non-employ-
ment of an agent had caused hauling
of freight to other points and explained
the decrease. The Commission took
the matter under consideration.

BID STUDENTS WELCOME
Reception By Church Societies OF
Dallas Proves Highly Enjoyable
Social Affair.

The reception given to the students
of Dallas College by the church socie-
ties, Friday night, was something
unique in the social history of Dallas
It was held in the college gymnasium,
and about $50 guests were present, rep.
resenting not only the student body,
but nearly all ofthe social and church
organizations of the city.
The guests were welcomed by the
reception committee and ushered to
seats in the gallery, The entertain
ment was opened with a vocal solo by
Miss Halle Morrison, followed by an
invocation by the Rev. N. W. Sager
and an address of welcome by Profes-
sor H. H. Dunkelberger. A represent
ative from each of the churches then
delivered an address appropriate to the
occasion. Miss Ada Osfield gave one
of her inimitable readings, and Misses
Winnie Kelly and Ella Roy sang a
duet.
The greater part Of the evening was
spent in playing games and as the
hour grew late the merry throng was
served with light refreshments.
All who were present were highly
pleased with the success Of the recep-
tion and the excellent opportunity that
it gave the young people of the town
and college to become better ac-
quainted. The sentiment in favor Of
the continuance of the custom is very
strong, and this style of reception will
probably become an annual social
event in Dallas,

DALLAS GIRL AT BERKELEY
Miss Eva Wash Tells of Reception
Given by President Wheeler
to Fresh man Glass.
Oakland, Cal, Sept. 90, 1907.

, Oakland, Cal, Sept. %, 1907.
, DEAR OBSERVER:
[ think perhaps number of you
readers Will be interested in an account
of the reception given by President
and Mrs. Wheeler to the Freshman
class Of the University of California
There are about 700 of us Freshman,
and all the members Of the faculty and
a number Of upper class men and
women who are leaders in the various
phases Of college life, were invited, SO
In all about eleven hundred invita-
tions were issued. Judging from the
number present, nearly all the invita-
must have been accepted.
Hearst Hall, the gift of Mrs. Phoebe
Hearst to the women of the university
for gymnasium, resting place, and
hall for social gathering, had been
beautifully decorated for the occasion
with palms and hothouse plants. On
entering the building, tho men checked
their hats and coats at little room
downstairs, while the girls went to
dressing rooms upstairs, where maids
relieved them Of their wraps. Then
came the honor Of meeting the hosts Of
the occasion.
In the receiving line were President
and Mrs. Wheeler, Mrs Hearst, the
President Of the student body and the
President Of the Associated Women
Students. Mrs. Hearst wore beauti-
full dress Of black material over white
chiffon, decorated with design made
Of tiny rhinestones. She looked very
lovely and dignified,
AS this is the dress occasion of the
year, every one had on his or her best.
The result was very pretty picture Of
happy faces and pretty dresses against
the background of palms.
Many ofthe Professors were present,
and they were very cordial in their
greetings to their pupils. A great
many of us had pleasant chats with
our teachers that we would never have
had time for in the busy rush Of class
day life, and I am sure that there
were founded there the beginnings Of
many more close relations and SYM
pathetic understanding between
teacher and pupil.
I had the pleasure and honor of a
talk all by myself with President
Wheeler. I do not wonder that the
students here simply adore him and
go wild with enthusiasm when he
speaks to them as body. He was as
sympathetic and interested in my
work, my aspirations, and my appre-
citation of the wonderful things that
are coming to me here, as if had
been an old acquaintance instead of a
very ignorant and timid little Fresh
man.
Among the upper classlnen present
was Lewis Macarthur, of Rickreall,
editor of the college paper, The Daily
Californian, and affectionately known
among the boys as ''Tam" Macarthur.
Late in the evening there was
dancing for those who cared for it,
and downstairs punch and ice cream
were served. In the center of the room
was the big table, beautifully decorated
with flowers and daintily shaded
candles. At the sides Of the room were
perhaps fifty small tables, each
accommodating four people.
Soon after midnight we wended our
way homeward, very tired but happy.
The experiences Of the evening were
very pleasant to me, and I shall
remember them long.

The True Way to Be Happy.

If YOU would increase your
happiness and prolong your life,
forget your neighbors' faults. For
get all the SANDER you have ever
heard. Forget the temptations.
Forget the fault-finding, and give
little thought to the cause which
provoked it. Forget the peculiar
tiles of your friends, and only re-
member the good points which
make you fond of them. Forget
all personal quarrels or histories
you may have heard by accident,
and which, if repeated, would seem
a thousand times worse than they
are. Blot out as far as possible all
the disagreeables of life; they will
come, but they will only grow larg-
er when you remember them, and
the constant thought of the acts Of
meanness, or, worse still, malice,
will only tend to make you more
familiar with them. Obliterate
everything disagreeable from yes
terday, start out with clean sheet
for today, and write upon it for
sweet memory's sake only those
things which are lovely and low
