AOne day the Managing clerk called
TO me and told me he wanted me TO serve

he was ochsduIed to lift two horses on

quite abusive and some quite violent.
To make matters worse. In opening my
summons II discovered that It was .

II had played on my college football
team, however. and called up another
young law clerk who had played on his
team, told him the proposition and offered
to split the e7s. We decided that we must

the theatre that night.
-Mr. Hoggenhsimer duly appeared.
He was colossal. with chest like q barrel

snappy eyes.
According to the announcement he
lifted 100 pound weights, broke iron
chains. tore pGcks OF cards across, lifted
men with his teeth and finished by allowing
two horses to seesaw on a platform rest
ing on his chest while he supported
himself on his arms and legs. My friend
looked at me and at him. Neither OF US

SOUND NATURE HABIT.

That which we call fate is a web
of our own weaving.
Man becomes slave to his con-
stantly repeated thoughts and acts.
What he at first chooses at last COM
pels.
You can as easily snatch a pebble
from gravitation's grasp as You can
check your thought or act from fol-
lowing the force of habit.
The most unimportant act of life
is a stone in the structure of charac-
ter and destiny.
Habit is second nature. 1t either
increases the efficiency and cage of
our work in life, or renders our work
more difficult and ineffective.
Practically every achievement OF
the human race is but the accomplish
ment of habit.
The habit of industry makes a man
marve, of efficiency, even though
he be unlearned.
The habit of cheerfulness-of al
ways looking on the bright side OF
things-is worth more than college

EAT EN- UP"

The season for football and football
sririt is now at hand. This afternoon
the Pendleton high school team plays
its first game upon its own field and
the contest is one of intesest There
are some who think that football is
had thing. That it is a rude, brutal
game in which a player is liable to
set hurt.
But there is no danger that the
American school boy will become
too. rough and brutal. There is more
danger that he will become so effem-
mate that he will be unable to with
stand the hard jolts the world Will
give him later.
1t is a fault of modern education
that the rough and hardy virtues are
neglected. 1t should be as creditable
in a student to be a young man Of
grit and nerve as TO be a orlshl stu
dent Intellectual ability is not worth
much unless with it is coupled a sup
ply Of sand that insures the persis-
tency and moral courage necessary
to success.
| The world is advancing, but it is not
entirely out of that stage where "he
who draws the longest bow shoots
his fellow down you know" The
weapons and the methods are now
different. but the result is about the
same as it always was.
So football is not a useless, cruel
nastime. 1t is something that is need
ed and should be encouraged. "Hit

AMUSING.

II has been great-the way repub-
licans have treated Bryan's attitude
towards the trusts. In one breath
they have declared that ne would
destroy them and that such being the
case he is the enemy of the business
world. This statement has gone forth
for the benefit of business men.
At the same time the republican
campaign managers have sent broad
cast the statement that Bryan is in
league with Standard Oil; that he is
acceptable to the trusts and that
Roosevelt and Taft are the only gem
uine mortal enemies of the octupus.
This statement has been for the ben
eft of the labor and reform vote.
It Is amusing how the republicans
have attempted to misrepresent Bry-
an in two diametrically opposite ways
at the same time.
Further amusement has just been
caused by an open statement from
John D. Rockefeller saying he is ia
vorable to Taft. Now President Roos-
eyelt comes forth with a statement
explaining Rockefeller's position. But
Rockefeller himself Is the best wit
ness upon that point He knows who
he favors and why. He says he Is
for Taft.

BRYAN THE HERO.

1t is cardinal principle of the
American people that the man who
does work is entitled to the reward
of his labor-that he who fights
good fight and wins is entitled to the
fruits of victory.
If this principle is adhered to No
vember 8 W. ]. Bryan will be made
president Of the United states. For
many years Bryan has worked and
fought with the strength of a giant
for the reforms that are now at hand
in this country.
Though he was twice defeated for
the presidency, Bryan's influence has
been greater than that of any other
public man in the country. He has
been prominently the leader Of
those who would better conditions
and rule this country in the interests
OF al the people.
Largely because of Bryan's indom-
liable work the things for which ne
has stood for many years are being
brought about. Within the past few
years his reforms have become pop
ular in the United states and many
lesser men have come forth to share
in the glory that is really his.
During the past few years Presi-
dent Roosevelt has been heralded as
the archangel of reform. He has
dome good work. But Bryan was
landing sledge hammer blows upon
the trusts and other enemies Of the
neople when Roosevelt was an insig-
riflcant police commissioner Bryan
was leading the forces of political
righteousness before the American
people had even heard mention Of
such man as W. H. Taft.
Upon their personal merits there Is
no COMPARISON between ldl1 anu -
an. Taft has never been anything
but a federal appointee. His record
as worker for the advancement OF
the people is an absolute blank. He
has never struck lick in their be-
half He has never been within
thousand miles Of the firing line. He
comes upon the battlefield after the
hard work and the danger is over.
But he has never been "a soldier OF
the common good as Bryan has
been. Taft viii never be. He is
camp follower
II the American 'e are fair
is they wish to place credit where
credit is honestly due-they will make
W. ]. Bryan president. He is the
hero Of the fight To him should go
the fruits Of the victory he has won

But are the people going to let

Partisanshlp should never elect a
president. In republic the safety Of
the government depends upon the in
telligence Of the people.and their in
5ependence Of influences that would
keep them from properly per-
forming the duties OF citizenship. y
man is an American citizen first,
member Of a political party after
wards. He should always keep this
distinction in mind, He should never
let party feeling keep him from his
duty as he sees it.
This advice is given now because
in their fright the leaders of stand
ratism are making desperate efforts
to rally their followers. They are
urging party loyalty as the first duty
of all republicans. They are wrong
and they know 1t, If the people are
as we'll informed and as Independent
as they should be the cry will be un-
heeded-the party whip will crack in
vain.

CITIZENSHIP FIRST.

II Bryan is not elected next Tues

people are 50 blinded by partisan
preiudlce that they do not see the
issues Of the campaign clearly.
rpon his own merits and those Of
his party as set forth by the demo-
cratic platform Bryan richly deserves
to win. He has far and away the best
OF his opponents upon every contested
question Of the campaign. Through
out the campaign the republicans
have had little to offer aside from
nimflam and buncombe. They have
appealed TO the prejudice but never

ANGER and Health.

\ scientific journal states that an
ger shortens life Every time per-
son gives way to wrath he or she has
advanced one step nearer the grave.
The physiological reasons are set forth
but the substance is that great anger
is highly injurious to the system.
At the same time, a reasonable
amount of anger is at once a tonic
and a safety valve. It braces up the
mind and body; It lets off the super
fuous steam, o. emotion Unfortu-
nately. the scientific journal does not
state what is "a reasonable amount"
of anger. Perhaps the physician of
