Tomcat Causes
City's Darkness

Astoria, Ore, March S. It was
COW that caused the great Chi
cago conflagration, but it was a
cat that put the Pacific Power &
Light company's plant out of COM
mission for a half-hour Sunday
and left the city without electrical
juice for the same period. The
COW was burned by reason of its
immortal feat and the cat likewise
perished in distinguishing itself.
A common, ordinary black TOM
cat with an inquisitive and adven-
turous disposition walked out on
the rack holding the horn gaps,
which carry a 22,000-volt lightning
arrestor at the Astor street sub
station of the P. P. e L. A short
circuit resulted that interrupted the
city's electrical service until a
broken insulator could be replaced.
Needless to say, the midnight
yowl of this cat will nevermore dis
turb the slumbers of mortal man.
Controls Industry.
Astoria, Ore, March S. The
Oregon Dairymen's league is now
practically in control of the dairy
industry of Clatsop county and the
lower Columbia river district. The
great majority of the dairymen of
this section are members of the
league, and that organization is
operating the Lower Columbia
Farmers creamery in this city, the
cheese factory in the Lewis and
Clark section, the cheese G-ctory
at Brownsmead and the creamery
at Grays River.

UNSiGHTLY RloTS.

It was the last hour of the old year.
Five girl friends were gathered
around the CRATE fire in one Of the
girls homes. The proposal to hold a
watch meeting" had been made earli
er in the day, and the evening had
been a merry one, helped on by fresh
ly made fudge. The frolicsome mood
had passed now and the room was
growing cold. They drew nearer to
the fire and talked in low subdued
tones, glancing from time to time at
bronze clock on the bookcase, with it's
warning uplifted hands.

of them said, evidently thinking of the
twelve-month past. 'Tt seems like
parting with an old friend you've tried
and proved, and-taking on one you
know nothing about"
IF we could only know that the new
year would be as happy and pleasant
for all of us as the old one has BEEN"
another girl observed, and there was
a little signing catch in her voice.
"But that's just what we can't do.

over to think what dreadful things

and we are going on, laughing and

sincere. constructive criticism

a sincere, constructive criticism,
writes Lordman.
A rebuke from real critic may
| have certain sting, but it has no
hidden poison. A short, hearty "well
done" from conscientious man or
woman outweighs by far, the flatter-
ing and often senseless remarks of a
hundred idle takers.
A sincere compliment is a better
stimulus for noble deeds than thou
sand empty batteries.
The value of compliment is quite
conditional.
The praise of perpetual "Blarney
kisser" is rather cheap. and very
often means nothing at all. The COM
pliment of an equal is quite rare; the
praise Of superior may have a dou-
BILE value, whilst the compliment of
an inferior is much akin to homage.
Sometimes we praise others for the
| sake of return; this may have the
! value of debt and has little tinge
of selfishness, but it must not, on this
| account, be despised.
Extremes in the art of compliment
ing may be dangerous. Too much
praise, like too much honey, may pro-
i duce nausea or a peculiar bitterness
in the form of pride; whilst total
lack of any praise may stife nobler
aspirations and produce "sour" dispo-
sitions.
Psychologists, those keener judges
of human nature, tell us the value of
man or woman depends, to a great
extent, on the manner they give and
receive compliments. In this, as well
as many other respects, it might be
we'll to stick to the golden rule-In
mediis stat virtus-that is, steer the
middle course.

this list of instruments is repeated

BoB's TREASURE.

There had been a storm in the
night. and just after breakfast Bob
hurried off to shovel snow from the
sidewalk. 1t was Saturday, and he
wanted to play, but of course the walk
must be cleared first.
play you're digging for treasure, +"
his mother suggested. "And keep on
digging"
Huh" said Bob. 1.-THE kind of
treasure I want doesn't grow under
snow!"
But the snow flew, and the bright
shovel flashed as he whistled cheerily
at his work.
"There!" he said at last. "Now I
can go out to Long Hill and watch
the boys coast"
AS he started off he glanced toward
the house next door, into which some
new people had just moved. Then
he stopped short, for he had caught
sight of spot of color at the foot of
the big maple that grew by the pave
ment.
"a double sled,' he cried, "and a
beauty! That's what mother meant
by treasure-though / don't think it
needed much digging for. My, but
it's just what I wanted
He seized the string and pulled the
sled out into the road. 1t was bright
green with Bob" painted on it in yell
low letters.
Bob chuckled with joy. There
would not be anything handsomer
than that on Long Hill, he knew. He
gave a whoop and started down the
road on run, with the new sled sing
ing at his heels.
AS he ran he thought he heard a
shout. Pausing to look back, he saw
the new boy from next door running
after him and waving his arms as he
came.
What's the matter?' Bob called.

The boy caught up with him. MAT

you running off with my sled for?'
Bob's heart sank to his boots.
"Your-your sled?' he stammered.
His surprise was so genuine that
the other boy looked little uncom-
Portable. tits my sled all right he
answered. See. here's my name on
it." He pointed to the letters.
That's my name, too" Bob an
swered with a rueful laugh. That's
what fooled me-" Then he told the
other boy what had happened.
WELL said the new Bob when he
had heard the story. I'm sorry /
made such fuss. You're welcome to
use the Sled"
But Bob said no; he thought he had
better go back and shovel off the path
that led to the front gate.
