Cleanina Coat Collars.

When the collar of coat looks shah
by and greasy, though the coat is 9TH
erwise quite fresh, take clean rag, dip
it in spirits of turpentine and rub the
collar all over with It.
Leave it for few minutes, then re-
peat the process, afterward scraping 1t
gently to remove any loose dirt. Then
sponge it carefully with little alcohol
and keep wiping It with clean cloth
until it is nearly dry. Hang it up until
1t is quite dry.
If necessary press the collar with hot
iron, having thin white cloth between
1t and the iron. After this treatment
the collar will look almost new again.

oriain of a Popular Hymn.

The following illustration given by
D. L. Moody suggests the true origin Of
P. p. Bliss hymn. Let the Lower
Lights Be Burning" "a ship on Lake
Erie bound for Cleveland harbor was
overtaken by storm, and as they
neared the port the pilot could only see
the upper light-the light from the
lighthouse streaming to them through
the storm and darkness. The lower
lights were not burning. The pilot
could not see how to steer into the har-
Dor. 1t was impossible to sail back
again upon the lake. The ship had to
go forward, and for the want of the
lower lights along the shore the vessel,
now at the mercy of the huge, roaring
waves, was dashed to pieces on the
rocks. and many Of the crew perished
before help could reach them P. P
Bliss was associated in those early days
with D. L. Moody in Christian work
and he must have heard Mr. Moody use
this illustration, which gives beauty
to its meaning '-Christian Herald.

1--WE beseech thee, Lord, to behold us

nations, gathered together in the peace
of this roof; weak men and women,
subsisting under the covert of thy pa
tience. Be patient still; suffer us yet
awhile longer with our broken pur-
poses of good, with our idle endeavors
against evil; suffer us awhile longer to
endure and Qf it may bel help us to do
better. Bless to us our extraordinary
mercies; If the day come when these
must be taken, have us play the man
under afllictiOn. Be with our friends;
be with ourselves. Go with each of us
to rest; if any awake, temper to them
the dark hours Of watching, and when
the day returns to us. our sun and
comforter, call us up with morning
faces and with morning hearts, eager
to labor, eager to be happy, If happi-

endure it.

is sacred, close our oblation"

To Call Vote on
Irrigation Bond

Rogue River Courier: One Of the
most important steps looking toward
local development was taken We'd
nesday when the directors of the
Grants Pass irrigation district decid-
ed to call an election upon the ques-
tion of voting bonds to the amount
of $290,000 for the purpose of con-
structing an irrigation system. The
district attorney, H. D. Norton, is
preparing the notice, for publication.
which will begin next week.
The amount voted will average $50
an acre for all the lands in the dis
trict. including o. & c. lands, which
are expected to be thrown open for
entry and settlement in the near fu-
ture. This sum of money, in connec-
tion with what may be obtained from
the Gold Hill irrigation district, Is
sufficient to put a gravity water sup
ply over many thousands of acres in
the vicinity of Grants Pass.
This action, taken at the time
when the Gold Hill irrigationists are
taking a similar step, is an impor-
tant move in the right direction. BY
going a short distance above Gold
Hill and taking out water supply in
ditch high enough to serve the en-
tire district near this city, the irrig-
able lands of both the Gold Hill and
the Grants Pass districts, including
lands on the north side of the river
near this city, can be watered from
one system. This means that the CO.
operation ability of all the several
sections bordering the river for twen-
ty miles can be brought behind one
system, greatly increasing the chanc-
es of success.

COURAGE and Cruelty.

II is one Of the mean and morbid lies
that physical courage is connected with
cruelty. Tolstoyan and KiDlingite are
nowhere more at one than in maintain
ing this. They have, believe. some
small sectarian quarrel with each
other. the small one saying that cour-
age must be abandoned because 1t is
connected with cruelty and the other
maintaining that cruelty Is charming
because it is a part of courage. But II
Is all. thank God, lie. An energy and
boldness of body may make man
stupid or reckless or dull or drunk OF
hungry. but 1t does not make him
spiteful.-Gilbert X. Chesterton.

Some Crude Spanish Found In Ameri-

A man who has learned Spanish in
Spain picked up one of the numerous
American business catalogues that are
sent to Latin American countries in
alleged Spanish. This is what he read,
according to the Pan-American Review;
"In an automobile catalogue spen-
didly issued and richly illustrated, but
full of absurdities Oh account of its in
sufferable translation. read this cap
ton at the foot of a magnificent illus

English. TO travelling car five passen-
gers, instead Of five passenger car for
travelling In a leather goods catalogue
the caption Harness for single horse
buggy is translated into Spanish in
this way, Harness for bachelor horse
full of bugs.
You can find in many hardware or
machinery catalogues the most striking
translations; for instance. corkscrew
for screwdriver. nut for screw, gobbler
for bolt and hair curl for corkscrew
All Of which must spread laughter

How English Insurance Companies
Keep Tab on the Swnders.

There is a mutual understanding be-
tween all the first class insurance or
fees in England that they should warn
each other of customer whose con-
duct is suspicious, and such warning
is conveyed In very simple yet eifec'
tive way.
Each company has number of cards
printed. These are deeply edged IN
black. the center Of the card bearing
the name of the company which issues
II. When company has suspicious
regarding customer one of its officers
takes a number of these cards, writes
on the reverse side the name and ad-
dress or different names and addresses
In some cases, of the suspected man
and sends around the cards to the 9th
er Offices.
These cards are regarded as absolute
ly confidential, and they are never sent
around till the company which issues
them has, through the staff of inquiry
officers always kept for such purposes
found strong evidence against the men
whose names they bear.
Each company keeps a book regu-
larly posted with these cards in 1t, and
the book is more frequently consulted
than the general public would imagine,
Many of these volumes of black edged
warnings are bulky ones.

Of each suspicious customer are care
fully noted in the book. and 1t is COM
