and more interested crowd of bidders
than last year. Frank Groundwater of

Curtis Friedlander were the heaviest
bidders, others being A. B. Holloway

There were some job lots in the
sale which went begging at any old
price. Twenty-siX cents looked too
much for lot at Roosevelt Beach;
sixty cents at lot at Moclips aroused
no greater enthusiasm; property at
Grays Harbor City couldn't get a bid;
and $40 block for Ocosta blocks was
too high.

Sunday night, by injuries from

Dear Brother: In this hour of

of the ministry, hereby extend
our heartfelt sympathy to you
and your family in the departure

of God. We look forward with
unspeakable JOY to the time

Of God, shall meet her in the

Against Previous Ideas.

There is nothing which the
world resents so much as an at
tempt to carry out better meas
ure than existed before. A man
who would benefit the world must
take leave of his own reputation
first; for the world never let a man
bless it but it first fought him. If
there we're a hundred violins to-
gether all playing below concert
pitch, and [ should take a real
Cremona, and with the hand of
Paganini should bring it strongly
up to the true key, and then sweep
my bow across it like a storm and
make it sound forth clear and res
onant, what a demoniac jargon
would the rest of the playing seem! !!
Yet the other musicians would be
enraged at me. They would think
all the discord was mine, and I
should be to them a demoniac. So
it is with reformers. The world
thinks the discord is with them
and not in its own false playing.

The Business Of Being a Wife.

A women has just told US of
what she did the night her young
husband found himself bankrupt.
His factory was closed, he had lost
all he owned-plus good deal
more-and, as he looked at it, life
was about at an end. He reflected
that he had taken his wife from a
happy and charming home and
that he had brought disgrace and
poverty on her. It occurred to
him that a well-placed bullet might
be the best all round solution of
his difficulties. His wife, at home,
made q poignant surmise as to
what he was thinking. Suddenly
it occurred to her that here was a
chance for team work-an oppor-
tunity to show what being wife
really meant. She prepared de-
licious little dinner, she made her
home as inviting as she could, and
she arrayed herself in her most
