IL you are gaining little every dav be
content Are your expenses less than your
income, so that, though it be little you are
constantly accumulsting and growing
richer and richer every day? Be content.
So far as concerns money, you are doing
well.
Are you gaining knowledge every day2
Though it be little by little, the aggregate of
the accumulation, where no day is permitted
TO pass without adding something TO the
stock, will be surprising to yourself.
Solomon did not become the wisest man
in the world in minute. Little by little
never emitting TO learn something
even for single day, always read
ing, always study little between
the time of rising in the morning and
lying down AZ night; this is tie way TO ac-
cumulate full storehouse of knowledge
Finally are you daily improving in charac-
ter? Be not discouraged because il is little
by little. The best men fall short of what
they would wish TO be. 1t is sometime n
is much, If you keep resolutions better TO-
day than you did yesterday, better this
year than you did last year. Strive 70 be
perfect but do not become down hearted as
long as you are approaching nearer and
nearer to the high standard at which Won
aim. -
Little by little fortunes are accumulated.
little by little knowledge is gained little bv
little character aad reputation are achieved.

life as vale of tears and bewail the increas-

with the feeling that he has committed a
grieyous sin, but nevertheless had a real
good time. A generous, hearty laugh, even

ONE MORE.
BY R. b.

One more bark on the stream of time,
One more care on - mothers mind
One more boat on fathomlesS sea,
Bound for the mystic eternity.
One more trust repOSed in man,
By Him who leads the triune van.
One more chance to mOrtals given,
To rear a soul to inhabit heaven.
One more stigma chained 10 earth,
If Christ should reap out moral dearth.
One more active. thinking mind,
To weigh the doing of its kind.
One more being counting strife
With the inconsistency of life.
One more heart to thrOb with pain
When friendship snaps its brittle chain
One more heart to feel the woe
That mortals all are doomed to know.
One more attempt TO wrest prize
From the hand of fate ere purpose dies.
One more struggle with hfe's turmoils-
Uncertainty as to whom the spoils.
One more fight with Satanic snares,
A puzzle to tell the wheat from tares.
a last firm stride toward the crown,
And thanks to God the victory's won.

until, after Ruth's parting bow, the door

them a cabin. Plenty of land, plenty of logs
and lots of hands TO help. She is neat and
nice, and will want a home. All in favor

the plan a secret from Ruth until all was

make the place look homelike to the young
bride. She was completely overjoyed; she
could fno no words to frame her thanks at
first but after an instant, turning to them
with eyes moist with tears, she said gently,
Il will call this home, and it shall be yours
as well as ours. It shall ever be open to each
one of you, and you will always be welcome.
We will make it home where you may
come with joy or sorrow, and we will re joice
with you or bear as best we may your bur

bring wives and children as they come from
the old homes in the east, and if you choose

And in the years that followed il was
indeed home for Echo Gulch. In it such
lessons of purity and love were daily taught
that every man and woman was made better
for them. In it were such peace and happi-
ness that the influence extended TO
other homes and made them brighter.
Many woman fleeing from a
dark, sinful path was strengthened

Waves DER thy head; when shall il wave
Above thy child?
'Tls sweet flower; yet must
Its bright leaves to the coming tempest bow
Dear mother, tits thine emblem: dust

And / could love to die:
To leave untaSted life's DARK, bitter streams
By thee, as erst in childhood, lie
And share thy dreams.
But must linger here
To stain the plumage of my sinless years
And mourn the hopes to childhood dear
With bitter tears.
Aye, must linger here,
A lonely branch upon a withered. tree
whose last trail leaf, untimely sere,
Went down with thee.

In still communion with the past, turn

Bows, like mourner, on the dim blue wave,
stray to hear the night winds wall
Around thy grave.

daily in the San Antonio Express now
says he will wait until the nominations
for governor are all made and then
make choice. In all probability the
1stegrams nomination of himself for

joker. He is entirely too patriotic to

he just doesn't like to do ANYTHING
