HAVE AN AIM.

The first requisite to success lii
anv undertaking is fixedncss OF pur-
pose. Without this, the whole voy-
aye of life itself is a failure and the
man who starts out without all aim,
like a ship without pilot Or COM
pass, is sure to be wrecked IN the
strom. Wherever you find the
grave of man upon whose tomb
stone may be appropriately written,
the words: '.tie lived an aimless
life upon that same tombstone you
NAV write, with equal propriety (:
"He l,ced u acorthless life, o,,d acos
Us the un5ruiJM tree" That these
assertions are true. history and our
own observation abundantly testify.
We look in vain among those dis
tinguished men, whose names have
been transmitted to us through the
pages Of history, for one who did not
have fixed purpose. hey were
men who placed their minds upon
the accomplishment of some particu
lar object. and pushed on towards its
attainment, regardless of tempest and
adverse winds which beset them. We
might illustrate this point by goin=
into details but it is unnecessary
No biographical student will say

small decline there was a noticeable steadineSs.
The situation Of the market is 50 fully cOnprc-
bended bv the average operators that there Is a
GENERAL impression that certain large operators have
no alternative except to lift prices m their effort to
make a market for sales. Hence operators Of

decline of / or PER cent, and followers on the
"lonr" side arc becoming tired OF Delhg

DAYS market was not affected by the Ddd news from

Mendoza Bulletin: "Supervisors Fischer and
Truman are in ottawa this week in attendance
on the Board of Supervisors. These gentlemen
have made very efficient officers, and now have a
JOB on hand of securing the proper taxation of
mortgaged property, which we would be pleased
to see them finish in good shape. We see no
other way than to re-eect them at the coming
election. We hear of no serious opposition to
either of them
The Belvidere Sentinel tells this likely fish story
"Gen. Fuller had q twelve pound brook trout
sent him last week from a friend in Escanaba.
This is the largest "speckled trout" on record.
It was not a lake trout. There is n little spring
pond thirty or forty miles back of Escanabs, In
the woods, where these monster speckied trout
are caught, the General says but he never knew
OF one being caught before weighing near as
much as this one. This must have been the old
pioneer trout" He must have been and takes
the cake.
| The Streator Free Press has this cheerful in
formation for Streator property owners: ''Some
OF the property owners on Broadway are causing
the excavated portion Of the mine underneath
their houses to be filed up and rendered secure.
This example would be wise one for those to
follow who feel any uneasiness about the foun'
ton of their dwellings. The cost OF securing
and making place perfectly safe would be trl.
fling compared with the damages that might EN-.
sue by neglecting this preeaution. We are in.
formed on good authority that 1t would not cost
in the worst cases over 500, and ordinarily not
half that amount to make everything solid and
| firm.
Free Press: ''If there is any one thing the peo-
pie OF Streator are thoroughly worked up on il
I is the matter of improving the streets. This
winter has been one OF the kind to try even the
best of streets, but as our streets not of the
best it has been especially hard on them. They
are in horrible condition now. We almost said
they are in dsgraceful condition, but there
may be some extenuating circumstances that
may not fully justify that term. But it will be a
disgrace to the town and the people II they ever
get into as bad condition again. Something
must be done just as soon as it can be done to
change this order Of things. The people will
Justify the expenditure Of almost any reasonable
amount OF money to fix them, II 1t is only done
as it should be done. The street question is GO

matter need hope for the votes of the public--as
long as the memory OF this winter stays with
