Opportunity TO Do Good Business

Never Better Than at Present
The man who is satisfied with things
as they are never makes them better
One man says you have succeeded
because you have located at a certain
place at the right time. Another says
you have succeeded because YOU have
had the opportunity. Abraham Lincoln
said: "Don't whine about the lack of
opportunity. There are opportunities
for every one who is able to convince
the world by his industry that he is
worthy of success"
There has never been a time when
there was not an opportunity for every
man who was willing to take advan-
tage of it. and the opportunity of do
Ing Il good business never was better
than at the present time, said j. c..
Cornell in convention speech. The
thing to do is to take advantage of
this opportunity and make every eff
fort in getting every dollars worth of
business that you can at a profit.

Steamer Spencer Sold.

Captain +. W. Spencer, who sold the
steamer Charles X. Spencer yesterday
to the Monarch Transportation com
pauy, which will use the steamer for
towing purposes, is said to have re-
celycd S25, 600 for her. The Spencer
was built in 1902 and is one of the
spccjist craft on the river. In the
past she has been used as a passenger
boat. The Spencer it is said, will be
used also for excursions and a large
barge is to be built on which to hold
dances. Portland Journal
The Spencer was on the daily cX-
cursion service last summer between
Portland and Hood River and had been
on that run various other summers
since she was built. From the above
it will seem that her new owners do
not plan to have her ply on the middle

The Four Leaf Glover Cent.

The rarest of all the cents is va riety dated l793. Its exact value is matter of conjecture, as it has not been offered at auction since 1890. when two specimens were disposed Of at the sale of the Parmelee collection. This variety of cent is of the flowing hair' type, which shows a head Of Liberty to the right with wildly flow ing hair. which was one of the first designs to be made at the mint The coin does not differ materially in de sign from certain other cents of 17e3 showing a wreath on the reverse ex cept in tiny emblem directly under the bust of Liberty. This is repre- sentation of sprig containing four leaves, varying in this respect from the other similar varieties of the year
 which show but three leaves on the sprig. This cent is known as the -four leaf clover cent, and up to the pres ent time only three specimens are def nitely known. All three are in the col lection Of 8 well known Chicagoan. It is safe to say that were c fine speci- men of this cent offered at auction 1t would bring S500.-New York Sun.

EirdIike Reptiles.

The most birdlike reptiles in the world are the beautiful iguanas of tropical America. The smallest mem bers of this family, belonging to the genus anolis, swarm in the bushes and trees of the West Indies and in many points resemble humming birds. Gosse in "A Naturalist's Sojourn Tn Jamai- ca gives vivid description of them On bright day hundreds of these brilliantly colored creatures may be seen on trees and fences, entertaining visitors by their gambols, leaping from branch to branch, fearlessly entering houses and even alighting on individ uals When irritated they will sud denly change their brilliant colors fer a dull sooty brown. Analogous to these, but not nearly so graceful, arc the flying lizards of the old world With hinder ribs prolonged to sup port a parachute-lke expansion, these brightly marked reptiles are often mis taken for birds as they take hyiDg leaps from tree to tree, for they are thoroughly arboreal.

United States Courts.

The bill now before the house Of rep- resentatives at Washington providing for a fresh codification of the laws of the United States proposes certain changes in the laws relating to the fed = eral judiciary which seem reasonable and proper. One of these changes is the abolition of the circuit courts as courts of original jurisdiction. There was undoubtedly good reason for the creation of the circuit courts as a re- lief to the justices of the supreme court, who originally did the work. of circuit judge, each in q particular cir cult, but in recent years there has been little to d4fferentiate between the cir cult and district courts.
 The elimination of the circuit courts does not imply in any sense the elim- nation of the existing circuit judges. Their work since the creation of the circuit courts Of appeal has been main ly the handling of appeal cases, all original Jurisdiction being in a large measure left fo the district judges The abolition of the circuit court will there fore cause no hardship nor make any change in the personnel Of the federal judiciary, but there will be a better definition of the authority and jurisdtc- ton of the different grades ot judges New Orleans Picayune.

That Connecticut policyholders of fourth class in the Knights of Pythias need have no fear of action against the lodge that would cancel their poli- cies was the statement of State Insur- ance Commissioner Theodore H.

The RottomIeas Vaiise.

A new aid to shoplifting has appear ed in the stores of New York and is making the men and women paid to watch for light fingered shoppers keep their eyes open. It is apparently an ordinary leather valise. but it has no bottom. Instead there are two collaps fble slides which fold back at either side and when released by spring map together. The shophfter pick out some article that he or she want to take away and when the clerk is looking the other way sets the bar over it. An inconspicuous button is pressed, the slides snap shut under the article, and the shoplifter goes out with the loot fn the valise.
 They've sprung false arms and hands on us." said store detective. "and we're used to phony pockets and shawls and hollow hair rats, but this is a new one. Whoever thought out the bottomless valise was a genfus."- New York Sun
