The father may be stern man, rigid

The busiress element of Cheyenne
will do well to remember the truth of
the old saying accredited to Hercules,
who me day overlook n WAGNER
whose wheels were stuck fast in the
mire, and who was crying aloud to
the gods for help. The gods help
those who help Themselves" said the
brawny athlete; and he advised the
WAGNER to put his shoulder TO the
wheel and lift it mi of the mud. He
did so, and his efforts were successful
and his wagon rolled on. Cheyenne
has the location and the elements of
prosperity surrounding it to make of
it a place Of prime importance. 1t
has been the practice of Number of
our people to cry out aloud to the rail-
road gods, the military gods, and the
political gods to lit the wheels OF
progress out of the ruts-so to speak
in which they had fallen; while others
more wise have put their shoulders to
the wheels and lifted them out, and
rolled on swimmingly. These last the
gods have helped. Those who have
had the courage and discretion to ven
ture forward and benefit both them-
selves and the community, by erect
ing buildings that are a credit to the
place and profitable to themselves,
will always have the assistance of the
gods. There is nothing more true in
business experience than this. Those
who wait for somebody else to do what
should be done, will, in most cases.
wait a long time and in the end be
disappointed. Let the business ele-
ment of Cheyenne act together, and
do whatever is in its power to ccom
plish for itself and for the place; put
its shoulder TO every wheel hat is in
the rutsi and if it hears anyone cry
ing out for help who is able to help
himself. remind him of what Hercules
said to the WAGNER.
