Don't Whine.

There is class Of people in this
world, by no means small, whose prom
inent peculiarly is whining. They
whine because they are SO poor; or if
rich, because they have no health with
which to enjoy riches. They whine be-
cause they have no luck, and others
prosperity exceeds theirs; they whine
because some friends have died, and
they are still living; they whine because
they have aches and pains, and they
have these because they whine SO much.
Now, q word to these whining people {:
First, stop whining; it is of no use
complaining. fretting, fault finding and
whining. Do you know that it is a well
settled principle of physiology and
common sense that these habits are
more exhsusting to nervous vitality
than almost any other violstion of ply
sical.. law?
And do you not know that life 81
pretty much IS you make L.? You can
make it bright and sun-shiny, or Won
can make it dark and shady. This life
is made only to discipline us-to fit us
for higher or purer state of being.
For your own sake; and for humanityis
sake stop your whining and fretting
and 60 on your way rejoicing.

Thus wrote pensive bard.
But twas foolish wish TO pen,
Though trouble pressed him hard
Oh. who to childhood would return'
Repeat his chequered years;
Once more their rigid lessons learn;
OF turmoil, toll and tearsy

Within the book OF time;
What record Of wrong words erased
What deeds show more sublineg
Alas, the human will is weak
TO curb the passion Wild;
Man may think or act or speak
With nature undefiled.
And should he tread life's path again,
Not all the garnered lore,
Reaped from the harvests that have
been,
Would make him err no more
The same temptations still! would rise
TO charm his tickle clay;
The same dark clouds obscure the kies,
The same snares fill his way.
And then, as now, would he repeat
The folies Of the past;
Hurl prudence from its regal seat,
And truth behind him cast.
No ardent longings can repair
The moments fled away;
But those may be improved with care
That come 10 us to-day.
They bear down times rushing tide.
Like ships. precious freight,
They must for veal or woe decides

DISTINGUISHING A WIDOW.
BY BONNIE HEURE.

81 have mind to put up a JOB on
your client, Truesdell," said Charlie
Monier to his law partner, Sam Norton
al have observed that you were be-
coming demorelized lately, but did not
suppose you would be ready to sell out
q client" replied Norton. "Let us
know, however, what the job is, and if
it has an innocent look, perhaps I will
20 in for chances and shares"
Allen Truesdell, against whom this
plot was forming, had been in the
hands of these lawyers only q few weeks.
He had lately come from another part
of the state, and had been buying,
through them, valuable paper mill
property, located on the river few
miles below the city. Monier & Norton
had been his attorneys in the transac-
ton, and had realized handsome pro-
fessional fee. In connection with that
business there had also been some col
lateral transactions through which an
overdue mortgage for eleven thousand
dollars had come into the hands of their
client. The property held by the
mortgage was handsome homestead,
belonging to widow lady, Mrs. Trow-
bridge, younger at least not very old,
not more than 32-and beautiful wo-
man.
Mr.. Truesdell had not yet seen the
property or its owner. The mortgage
had been taken on the assurance of his
attorneys that the security was ample.
The lady's deceased husband, Charles
Trowbridge, had died suddenly three
years before, and left considerable real
estate in badly entangled condition.
He had been bold, ambitious operator,
and not very prudent; made new pur-
chases continually with money raised
by mortgaging anything on which &
mortgage could be placed, until even
his family residence, the property of his
wife, had, by her consent, reluctantly
given, become involved to the extent of
more than half its real value.
Mrs. Trowbridge had one child liv
ing, her little boy, Ruby, now six years
old, and for his sake she had been doing
her utmost to save what she could of
the property Lcr husband left, and she
had managed 20 successfully thus far
that when sal was inevitable she had
been able to effect it herself, and lot
leave that ceremony to be performed by
the sheriff.
The reader has probably suspected ,
by this time thar the JOB those lawyers |
were preparing to put mp on their client |
was not likely 10 be very serious or
damaging. They hed learned from in
cidental remarks Of his that he had /
been a widower for several years and
had : family consisting of two little
daughters and his youngest sister, and
also ID maiden aunt of his deceased wife,
who was managing his family affairs,
but not in a very satisfactory way.
-Rhe Trowbridge property, said Mr..
Monier to his partner, will Just suit
our client for residence, and the
right and easy way for himto get it viii
be to bid it in under a foreclosure sale
and then dispossess the widow" ID
"A charming idea, said Norton, -but
Of course he must see the property in

Western Progression.


The daily papers, telephone and cleo
trio light on the Laramie plains where
rests the ghastly emigrant, stretching
himself in the glad sunlight, with the
roof of his head pulled of and boquet
of Indian arrows in the pit OF his stom-
acb. are marks of the onward march OF
western civilization that we cannot ig'
more. Where Big Steve and those other
CORY humorists were hung against the
evening sky, the busy grocery clerk
wraps up the sardine and tho picnic
pickle for the tourist. Near where the
outlaw band waved their feet across the
horizon as they endeayoredto set more
air. and where their wild gymnastics
shut out the moonlight as they strug-
gled to kick some pieces out OF the
milky way, commerce now fills the air
with it's low hum and the etete eastern
clerk charges up one pair of elastic sus-
penders and two pairs of red flannel
updershirts to the eastern snob who
came out here to obliterate the hostile
tribe of the Cockeyed Pie Biters OF the
Laramie plains.
The pioneer canal on its way across
the valley turns up the bones OF Old
Moaning Collie, the Sioux brave; and
the pale face who lives in East Laramie,
while making his asparagus bed and
doing other chamber work, spades up
the vertebra of Buckskin Pete, the
Holy Terror of the Wild, Wild West.
It is queer that all this should con
sumo so few years, and it seems odd
that where once, short time ago, the
fearless pioneer rode down the street
and shot out the lights in the billiard
halls just as the players were going to
saw off and go home, the street car will
soon glide in it's silvery glade, and the
slim young man with the PLAGUE hat
and the sunbeam cane and the garden
hose pantaloons, and the shoes with
pointed toes, will walk over your sore
feet and fall into your lap and crush
your plug hat just the same as he does
in Chicago or New York.
Here, in Laramie, progress is visible
everywhere. We have had one embez-
element this summer, and juries are on
the market just as they are ia the east.
People from the Atlantic seaboard can
come here and default just as they would
at home without being lynched. The
vigilance committee has disbanded, and
now if you come here you will find water
works and white vests, and telegraphic
news and good hotel.
We are proud OF all this, and we have
a right to be. We found the impulsive
and at times irritable red men here, and
we planted school houses and churches
in his stead. We just changed our names
and came west, to lead different life
and make civilization get right up on it's
hind legs and howl. Nature gave us a
fertile soil, dotted with arrow heads,
moss agates, old buffalo skulls and other
tropical verdure. All it needs is irriga-
ton and patience. Our mineral indus
tries, too, are coming to the front, and
our mining stock, if properly irrigated,
will also show wonderful results.
Progress is the proper thing after all,
and the more we see of it the more we
