Success In Practical Life.

If you speak the right word at the
right time; il you are careful to leave
people with a good impression;
if you do not trespass upon the
right Of others; if you do not
put yourself unduly forward;
if you do not forget the courtesiss
which belong to your position, you
are quite sure 10 accomplish much in
life while others with equal ability
fail to do. This is where the race is
not to the swift nor the battle to the
strong. 1t is where you make people
feel that you are unseldsh and hon.
orable, and truthful and sincere
This is what society is looking for in
men; and it is astonishing how much
men are able to win for self.respecs
and SUCCESS and usefulness who pos
sess these qualities of good breeding.
1t is almost the turning point Of sue.
cess in practical life.

Am Old Hfghlander in Kansas,

Mr.. Jacob Bennett, OF this city, who is
temporarily sojourping in Boulder. Colo,
for his health, sends Us the following clip
ping from the Boulder News and Courier,
which shows what an old Highlander is
doing in the way of making himself "at
home" in the Centennial State:
We this week had the pleasure of visit
ing the home Of Captain J. NJ. Davidson,
in Smiths Addition One year ago in
July Capt D. bought the place, and COM
menced the construction of a substantial
brick residence thereon. He put a wire
fence around the premises, got out shade
trees, put in a garden, and now has as
comfortable a place as one would wish.
There is nothing remarkable in all this,
except that it serves 10 illustrate how sOOH
a home can be made in Colorado, with
little money and a good deal Ct energy.
His garden is q curiosity, both in variety
and amount of things produced. From
four hills of CuCumbers, for instance, he
has sold IS worth Of that esculent, and
has bushels of them left. Peanuts flourish
wonderfully, and potatoes are a marvel of
excellence, as the soil is loose and rich,
giving them a chance to ''spread." Capt.
Davidson is well satisfied to exchange his

ALittle Better !
BUT STILL NOT OUT OF DAN
GER AND A VERY SICK NAN.
THAT Is THE PRESIDENTS
CONDITION.
BUT UTsTILLGROUNDFORH HOPE

The President continued to i'm
prove very slowly last week, until
Sunday, when his efforts to relieve
his throat from the phlegm collected
in the swollen gland, caused vomiting
again, and for a day or two it was
feared that bis stomach trouble had
returned, and many gave up hopes
Of his recovery. It soon appeared,
however, that the vomiting was not
caused by the condition Of the stom-
ach, as that organ, after a day rest,
was found to bear liquid food again
without nausea, and has continued
to regain its strength, up to the last
dispatches at 2 o'clock this morning,
CTuesday.} The swelling of the pa.
rotid gland has been quite painful,
but it is now slowly subsiding, and
the doctors do not consider it at all
alarming, or as being any indication
Of blood-poisoning from the wound,
which is reported to be healing nice
ly. The President is still extremely
weak, and there is no doubt that his
condition is very critical, but there is
certainly good ground to hope for
his recovery if his stomach continues
to perform its functions, so that he
can gain strength. This is the Opin-
ion Of Drs. Bliss, Agnew, and all the
medical attendants, and upon it We
base our faith that the President will
get well, unless some new and dan
gerous complications arise, that can
not now be ioreseen. OF course such
a contingency is possible, but let us
hope it will not occur.

Shortly after retiring on last Wednesday
night, Mr.. Hickman Thurman, Of New
Petersburg, was aroused by sounds coming
from The direction of his barn. He got
out in time to see some one making for the
road with a horse, which, upon going 10
the barn, he became convinced was his
Failing to get assistance on the street, Mr..
Thurman showed his pluck by starting out
alone in pursuit. He had ridden about
mics out on the Fall creek road, when
he again discovered his horse and man.
Like skillful general, he resorted to
strategy, and yelling at the top of his
voice, "Here he j.! come on, BOYS :" he
charged-in gallant style. Mr. Thief got
panic-stricken, abandoned his cavalry aud
fed. MIR. Thurman returned with his
property, but minus the thief.
Some of these fine days we will hear
something 'drap" in Paint. The gentle

much on the law-abiding character Of the
citizens of that section.
P ). It is reported that, on Saturday
night last, the thief returned to the pre-
mlses Of Mr. Thurman, and took the same
horse, and, concluding from former eX-
perience that cavalry was uncertain, hitch
ed the horse to Mr.. IT, best buggy, so he
has now TO mourn the loss Of horse and
