One Day at a Time.

The man. woman or child who has
learned that simple truth, has learned
the most important truth life has to
teach. Only one day at time to suffer;
only one day at time to do. The
past is dead; the future is not yet born;
to-day is yours. What will you do with
it?
If you have done nothing in 1885,
would you know why? Your resolution
was nebulous, foggy; it came to moth
ing, because it aimed at nothing. 1t
was not a resolution, it was only an as
piration, at most but wish. You
meant to be better man and to do a
better work in 1885 than in 1884, but
what work?-how ?-when? Put down
your resolutions in your diary, and these
questions under it. Thus:
am going to do more good this year
| than 7 did Last 11,,---
What good? How do itf When
begin?
Now write your answer under each
of these questions. 1t will astonlsr
YOU to find how much pondering it viii
take before you are ready to put those
answers down in black and white. Bu
until YOU can answer these questions
YOU cannot take the first step towart
making one year better than the other
You can only pay off your debts ont
day at time.
You can only get control OF you
temper one day at a time.
You can only comfort the sorrowlng
or relieve the oppressed, or succor tn
tempted, one day at time.
And you have temptations to con
quer, burdens to bear, sorrows to endur
only one day at time.
Take a new reckoning of each year.
: Harden your aspirations into resolr
ton and begin again.

Speaking OF the Kansas City, Wyan-
dotte and Northwestern railway, in
which he has recently taken hand,
Col. w. d. Bethel says: "The Kan
sss line is intended to be merely the
trunk for large system. We shall ex.
tend the road to Nebraska, besides
building several Kansas branches.
The Kansas line will be in operation
by this time next year. OF itself 1t
will be valuable road, but with the
extensions Thick it will be extremely
so. The system, while it will not be
in any way controlled by the Fort
Scot, may be operated in connection
with it That was our intention when
we bought the franchise. As it is now
all the ttuh Ne get from this ter
ritory goes around by st. Louis, be-
cause OF the determinations practised
against this point. WEen our road is
completed, however, we will be able
to ship wheat and other products from

DIR. BUDDRKE'S BURIAL.

Duly HODOred by His Friends.

Nashville Union, 21st: One of the
saddest deaths that has occurred here

loved and honored. As pupil in the
public schoole, then a teacher, aud a
ter her in the Sunday school, he bad

constancy. His dispo sition was of the
kind to draw to him in friendly
sympathy all with whom he came in
contact. He was noble and generous
to a fault. When he LEI; here four
years ago to practice his chosen pro-
fession in Memphis, his departure
was generally regretted. But his
new home I und him many new
friends. who learr ed to love him
with all the affect vouchsafed the
successful family physician. There he
married bsppily, his bride being Miss
Florence Tool, the lovely daughter Of
Mr.. John S. Toof. But his welded
life, while full of the best and truest
happiness, was not destined to be
long. 1t lasted but two short years,
and now he leaves 10 mourn his loss

That Miles Buddeke's friends were
numerous and loving could not but be
discovered by any who attended his
burial yesterday. In the morning
Father Clemens conducted high mass
at the Church Of the Assumption. 1t
was crowded with the friends of the
deceased. The school attended in n
body. After these morning SER
vices the body lay in state in the
church, where many went to take a
last fond glance of the features of the
dead. During The day numerous tele-
grams of coincidence we're received
from friends in Memphis, New York,
New Haven and elsewhere. Toe

and most numerous seen at the funeral
of any private citizen for years. These

said Capt. o. Havsr, yesterday.
"What kind Of trouble?'
"0h, stealing chickens, bed clothes,
coats, loose cutlery, red hot stoves and
things" he replied. "He is one Of
those fellows that will make off with
anything he finds lying around, and
occasionally he grows bold enough TO
raise window to get in TO his booty"
"How do you know the thief is a
darkv?" was ask ed.
Nothing easier. You can tell a
negro thief by the character OF stuff
he steals and the way he does it. We
have it down go fine now that we can
almost tell the aye, size and degree Of
blackness"
