Help Yourself.

Fight your own battles. Hoe your
own row. Ask no favors of any one,
and you'll succeed thousand times
better than any one who is always be-
seeching some ones influence and pat
ronage. No one will eyer help you as
you can help yourself, because no one
will be so heartily interested in your
affairs.
The first step will be such long one,
perhaps; but carving your own way up
the mountain you make each one lead
to another, and stand firm while you
chop still another out Men who have
made fortunes are not those who have
had $4,000 given to them to start with,
but boys who started fair with well
earned dollar or two.
Men who acquire fame have meyer
been thrust into popularity by pufts,
begged or paid for, or given in friendly
spirit. They have outstretched their
own hands and touched the public
heart. Men who win love to do their
own wooing, and never knew man
to fail so slgnally as one who induced
his affectionate grandmother to speak
good word for him.
Whether you work for name, for
fame, for loye, for money, or for any
thing else, work with your han is and
heart and brain. Say II will, and
some day you will conquer. Never let
any man have 1t to say, II have dragged
You np.' Too many friends sometimes
hurt man more than none at ALI

A SUMMER GIRL.

She wears a saucy hat
And her feet go pit.a-pat
AS she walks;
And the sweetest music slips
From her merry madding lips
When she talks.
She f,scinates the street
With her CATERS trim and neat,
Made of kid;
For they twinkle as they pass
Like the rillets In the grass
Halfway hid.
Her skin is soft and white,
Like magnolia buds ut night
On the bough;
But for fear she'd he too fair
There's a frecklc here and there
On her brow.
Dimplcs play at llide-and-scek
On her apple blossom cheek
And her chin.
Slyly reckoning to you,
"Don't you think it's time to WOO
Pray begin"
Then her winsomc, witching eyes
Flash like bits of summer skies
Der her fan.
AS lift say, "Wc'vc met:
You may go now and forget
If you can"

The Summer Vacation.

We are in receipt of copy of the
program for the Chautauqua Assembly
to be held at Council Bluffs June 18th,
to July 4th, both days inclusive. There
is presented splendid variety of
amusement and entertainment for
every hour of tho time specified, and it
surely affords the greatest inducements
to those who seek few days or weeks
of rest from business cares. The
grounds of the assembly are near the
noWfamous Lake Manawa, with cool
ing hreezes and inviting shades. The
expense of accommodations is compar-
atiyely light, is less indeed than the
same are furnished for anywhere else.

a Rousing Rally.

The people of Weber county are wide
awake, and will not be out done in lveli-
ness by the so-called Liberals. A cor
respondent of THE HERALD writes that the
Peoples party rally at Huntsville, Tuesday
evening was thus far the most rousing OF
this unusually lively political campaign
The Ogden Brass band were in full
uniformity of spirit, greatly elated by the
GOODNESS of the canon breezes and the
warmth of the eloquence by the speakers
who were in succession and successfulness
Hon E. Stratford, G. H. Islaub, (of Il. G.
NJ. Is. Ogden staff, John Watson, oman
ager of the latter, Hon. John A. Boyle,
y. G. Flygare, Hon. F. d. Richards and
Hon. C.. G. Richards, who only closed a
well strung string of SOLID gems and pearls
of truth on economical and moral
home government with that incisiveness
which stamps HIM as one of Utah's fore
most young leaders in politics. At about
midnight the vast assemblage of 800 good
citizens adjourned. and the Ogden speakers
went TO their rest with the well earned
conviction of having exercised their lungs
and loyalty on the right side of the fence.
The brass band, under the leadership of
William Emmett, returned, but not until
after having literally partaken of the Co
Dious and cordial hospitality of the good
people of Huntsville, and one James Vans
gard, the leader of the Huntsville band,
was one of the most distinctively lavish
amphitryons. Huntsville is safe for the
Peoples party. Safe, too, for big, round
minority.
