Trip by Commercial Club.

The Colfax Commercial Club has in
dorsed Miss Stella Perkins as the repre-
sentative Of Colfax and vicinity on the
excursion to the jamestown Exposition
to be given by the Pacific Northwest
Magazine published at Portland, Oregon,

to take place September of this year
The Pacific Northwest Magazine pays
all expenses of this excursion, but to
gain this free trip $500 worth of sub
scriptions to the magazine must be OBJ
tanned. At the last meeting of the club
it was the unanimous opinion that the
Commercial Club members and the bust
ness men of Colfax ought to take it on
themselves to secure the necessary aid,
so with this end in view a circular was
issued asking for subscriptions to the
magazine. V. B. Mcdowell, secretary
will Issue receipts for subscriptions. The
Pacific Northwest Magazine is a first

Well Written Advertisement.

One OF the most attractive and best
written announcements that has ap-
peared in The Gazette for a long time is
that OF the Portland Business College,
printed elsewhere in this issue. The
heading is strong and artistic, the word
ing cleancut and impressive. Send for
the catalogue mentioned in the adver-
tisement. 1t is a beautiful production
that tells all about the school and it's
splendid work. No educational institu-
ton in the northwest is better known
than the Portland Business College. It's
principal, Prof A. P. Armstrong, has
been engaged in school work all his life,
and has an enviabIe reputation as an
educator. He knows the requirements of
employers OF office help, and can prepare
any willing student to meet them. In this
numerical age, King Business is monarch
of all he surveys. Opportunities are not
wanting for those who are properly
qualified. A course in the Portland
Business College will prepare any young
man or woman for work in the COM
mercial world, and result in a position
that will render the investment OF time
and money in a business education the
most profitable that can be made.

A recent trial on one of our largest railroads
demonstrated that a motor car carrying forty
eight passengers can be run 700 miles in twelve

taking a taper from the chimney
piece, lighted the way to the en-
press's sleeping room. Here Napo-
leon dismissed both of his compan-

bed rang for her women who, on en-
tering, found him hanging over her

A RATHER COMMON STORY.

He was killed in the Dalton wreck
a few weeks ago. A head-fagman he
was and as the freight trains crashed
his body was cut into pieces and his
life hurled into the great beyond.
Just common story, is it not?
Just common fagman gone, just a
common laborer dead, you say. Yes,
that is the way the world looks upon
the death of the monotonously COM
mon laborer. But Of that simple
story the half has not been told and
will never be told just as it is un-
known in ten thousand similar cases.
Behind Clyde Colbert in overalls is
the picture of rare young man, the
throbbing of an earnest heart, the
scintillating Of mind, the strength
of a character even though he was
wearing the "hoddengrey" at the
time of his death. Behind that story
is the common but pitiable struggle
between the nobleness of an ambition
and the cruel hand of Poverty. For
awhile it seemed that ambition was
the conquerer. Only the slow, dead
heave of his will power had sent him
to college. Through the Freshman,
through the Sophomore and half
way through the Junior classes
he worked his way, leaving behind the
brilliant records Of high marks made
and medals won. But here father
died, and poverty called him home
where he donned a pair of overalls
and mounted the top of box car
as fagman in order to keep the wolf
away. Then came the catastrophe in
his life's drama, and he died the vic
tim Of chance and poverty.
Yes, it is a common story. Moth
ing unusual. But somehow we trust
that the widening thoughts Of men
will some day realize that such is not
merely the ordinary, that such is not
the withering Of the individual and
the more and the more Of the world (;
that conditions will be such as to
render the individual life free from
the greed of modern commercialism

is more than meat and the body more

game called "Prisoner THE same
as what English school boys call
French and English" or ideals. /"
There is something very striking in
the account of the last opportunity
they had Of indulging in this relaxa-
ton:
"The interval between the fifteenth
of August, and the twenty-seventh of
September was passed chiefly at st.
Cloud, and might be called the last
of Josephine's happiness in Napo-
leon 3 society. Only few days be-
fore his departure, Josephine and
Napoleon, with their usual familiars,
played final game at the favorite
amusement Of prisoners 1t was
quite dark before the party fin
ished and footmen with torches were
in attendance to give light to the
players. The effect could not have
been without interest; the blaze of
the torches now throwing bold, broad
and rich illumination upon the IL
lustrious group as they assembled in
front of the chateau, previous to
each run; again finging scattered and
Pickering lights upon the lawn, the
trees, flowers and rich dresses of the
ladies, as the torch-bearers dispersed
following irregularly the course of
the runners. How closely resembling
the lives of some of the mobiles there
this crossing, commingling, disap-
pearing sometimes in light, anon in
darkness; here all started away amid
brightness and expectation-there a
figure outstripping all others only to
be lost In the gloom. But there was
then no moralizing; all were joyous
and for the moment artless, as if it
had not been court. Napoleon as
usual fell, though only once, as he
was running for Josephine. Being
thus taken captive, he was placed in
ban, which he broke as soon as he
recovered breath; set again to run
ming, and released empress amid loud
huzzas from his own and shouts of
Fair play from the opposite
party. Thus ended the last repetition
Of youthful sports.''
From what we know of the domes-
tic life Of Napoleon and Josephine
no doubt can be entertained of his
attachment for that lady, but his
mind was constantly haunted by
dreams Of ambition. He painted for
an heir, and wished that the mother
should be eminently illustrious in
point of birth, so that mankind might
be inspired with respect both for him
self and his progeny. Accordingly
in an evil hour, he pitched on a
daughter Of the emperor of Austria,
and resolved on divorcing a consort
whose marriage had been crowned by
the pope, who had been the wife of
Napoleon during fourteen whole
years, and could not be separated
from him without a breach Of his
own express law prohibiting every
thing Of this kind in the imperial

BOYS, POOR AND RICH.

Principal MacQueary, OF the high
schools in St. Louis, delivered an
address before the students of the
University Of Chicago a few days
ago, in which he undertook to anal
yze the bad boy. His conclusion was
that there were just as many rich
bad boys as poor bad boys in the
world. "The bad boy" he said, sis
victim Of his environment. Not all
of the bad boys are to be found in
the slum districts. The pampered,
spoiled child of the rich who spends
his time at the race track is just as
much parasite on society as the bad
boy of the slums. The condition Of
the bad rich boy is due to too much
coddling and indulgence
Mr.. MacQueary's astute utterance
is equal to saying, in paraphrase of
a popular expression, "Boys is boys,
they are pretty much the same the
world over and in every section of
it. A great writer has said that every
boy is born a barbarian and must be
civilized. The degree of his civiliza-
.tion depends on his parents and his
environment. Wealth or comparative
poverty cuts no figure in this matter,
so far as molding the boys character
is concerned.
Poorest parents may rear the most
refined sons, or richest parents the
most depraved. Environment and
home influence are the most potent
factors in the formation of charac-
ter.
In the slums the necessities of ex-
istence may induce the boy to vio-
lations Of the moral and statute laws.
In the gilded palaces of the rich the
desire for novelty and amusement
may lead the boy to violations of the
moral if not the statute laws by way
of killing time. But human history
has shown that good boys, making
useful men may grow up from either
poor or rich stock Mere money
counts far less with boys than any
Of the other human kinds, consider
ing the boys in themselves and with
out reference to environment. The
healthy boy begins life close to the
earth. He is to a degree savage in
his young nature. While his sister,
very largely, inherits and exemplifes
in her feelings and conduct the soft
ening influences of the ages, the boy
is born to strenuousness and protest
against restraint, and must be edu-
Gated out Of these characteristics. If
his parentage is good-poor or rich
doesn It matter-and his environments
make the uplift, the rounding Of the
plastic boy character goes on rapid
ly. But neither poverty nor wealth,
in itself, makes or develops charac-
ter. No boy is good or bad because
he is rich or poor. The boy born to
independence ought really to make
the better citizen, because he has bet
ter opportunities, but there isn't any
thing to show that that is the case.
