The great secret Of gaining happiness

The great secret of gaining happiness
in life is to enjoy the present. To be
doing one thing and thinking of anotht r
is a very unsatisfactory mode of spending
life. Some people are. always wishing
themselves somewhere but where thew
are, or thinking of something else than
what they are doing, or of somebody else
than to whom they are speaking. This
is the way to enjoy nothing, to do moth
ing well, and to please nobody. 1t is
better to be interested in inferior persons
and in inferior things than to be indiffer-
ent with the best a principal cause Of
this difference is the adoption Of other
peoples tastes instead of the cultivation
OF their own, the pursuit after that for
which we are not fitted, and to which
consequently We are not in reality in
clined. This folly pervadcs more OF less
all classes, and arises from the error Of
building our enjoyment On the false
foundation of the worlds opinion, in
stead of being, with due regard to 9th
ers. each our own world.

order changing the rite of postage on a
number OF articles heretofore rated as

postage at the rate of one cent for every

on which the postage is one cent per

order: ''The character of paper as an

Earnest Dix of Bloomington, Illinois,
died on the I'd from trichinosis. At a
party about four weeks ago he with
nine other Germans ate of smoked "a /
sage quite heartily. The next day they
were all taken sick and in few days
all evinced marked symptims of trichi-
nosis. On examining the uncooked
meat they had eaten of, millions of the
parasite were found Others of the
party will die. The prevalence of
trichinosis in Germany is no doubt ow-
ing to the German habit of eating pork
partly raw, as is the case with smoked
sausages. If pork was as thoroughly
cooked there as it generally is in the
United States trichinosis would seldom
occur

"All-wool' blankets, according to
the Pittsburgh Commercial-Gazette,
are often mainly composed of hair that
once pranced over the praries on the
SCARED TANKS of long-horned Texas
steer. The hair having been taken
from the hides and thoroughly cleaned,
is then mixed with enough wool of Il
low grade to enable the manufacturer
to card it and work it into blankets and
rough cloth. The test, it is said, is
very simple, when short hairs can be
pulled out of an ;:all-wool' blanket,
probably thrce-fourths of it is COW s
wool.

It is said that some kind Of worm is

during the past two or three years
been doing SO much damage to stock il,
Western Kansas. 1t has compelled
many large ranchmen to remove their
cow ponies during the fall and winter
seasons to places where the weed does
not grow, as at this time of ycarhorscs
seem to eat the weed more than at any
other season. The weed is not so trouble
some to cattle as to horses. The fact
that the weed is being destroyed is an

SUNDAY In DODGE CITY.
REST GIVEN BY GOD


The service in the PRESBYTERIAN
church Sunday night was opened b,
the male quartette (The Big l) singing
very pleasant piece, Lift up your
Heads, 0 We Gates. Afler which. the
choir and congregation sang the familiar
hymn:
BEST il the tie that binds
Our hearts in christian love:
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like To that above.
Elder Collins opened his sermon
with some remarks on church prophet,
and decorum. He said he returned
thanks For the gratitude shown him anG
the excellent decorum in the worship Of
God. 1t would lily become him to Civ,
lessons on propriety, but nine-tenths Of
the people agree with him that the
house of God was no place in which t.
laugh and whisper Any remarks ht
might make would not elevate any one
unless they were taught better he
could not change their conduct
The minister chose his text from the
33d chapter Of Exodus, 18th verse:
my presence shall go with thee, and will civ,
thee rest"
He described the victory of God s
people over the trials and perplexities
of life. No one wishes to be on the
wrong side. If We are wrong We are
the sufferers. This is true as a princi-
pie and rule. No one could afford to
make himself ridiculous. What is ri
diculous is to see people pay. no atten-
ton to the sermon.
The minister described this life as
compared to journey, and the Bible
shows it to be one of hardships and
trials. He referred to military disci-
pline and the absolute control in ar
mics. There was no deviation in army
discipline. 1t was the same in the life
of the true christian. We must not
expect any modification of Gods word
for our pleasures and comfort. He re-
lated an incident in the military char
acter OF Frederick the Great. and told
how the disobedience Of an order from
this great general was made penalty
Of death 1t was said that the execu-
ton of the officer who disobeyed was
harsh and cruel penalty-but there
can be no departure from military or
dcrs. So it is with Gods commands.
There can be no deviation.
There are many trials in the life of a
christian, and the world cannot see why
christians are so tenacious. If they
are honest they cannot deviate from
God requirements. Dangers must be
overcome. We have evil in our hearts.
There is mistaken idea about what
piety does for man or woman. They
are still subject to all dangers. They
are mortals and in constant danger.
The minister said to take life in its
best form it is troublesome. We have
to meet trials and perplcxities. He
said we have to meet the world or the
world will meet us. 1t would require
an honest and earnest faith in God to
withstand all the trials and dangers
that beset us, but under His guidance
we would be safe.
