A Slide to Death.

Western news Of an eccentric character
has been scarce since the Cheyenne, Wyo.,
correspondent was overhauled for imagin-
ative lying. and the following item, the
latest in Cheyenne dispatches, indicates
either return to truth or more conserva-
tive fabrication on the part of the corre-
spondent. The account says: A singular
accident resulting in the death of Erastus
Dorwin Mechanl, Mormon who lived at
Alton, Winta county, is just reported. He
had started out with his gun for the pur-
pose of obtaining meat for the family.
After going three miles he found tracks
where herd of deer had recently passed,
and followed them until he came to very
steep descent, which caused him to discon-
time his course in that direction. Seeing
a tree short dlstace below he thought he
might shde down. catch by it, and So pro-
ceed on his way. As he did so the snow
gave way, he missed his footing and slid
down the mountain about three hundred
yards. In the intervening distance there
were occasional lodges Of rock, and he
landed in the ravine below. Three ribs
were broken and he also received internal
Injuries. He retained sufficient strength
to reach home just as night was coming on,
but appeared to be in critical condition.
He at once went to bed and remained until
his death, two days later.

DILIGENCE.

Diligence Is steady application to
any kind Of business. We may enter
into any kind of work; yet without dill
igence we will never succeed. Ali
great men. were not born in palaces.
Some of the greatest men the world
has ever known were too poor, when
boys, to obtain even common school
education, yet by constant effort they
have attained the highest positions in
life and their names will be honored
through the coming ages.
The success of this world depends on
diligence. Were we to neglect the lit
tie things of this life, what would be-
come of the great things!
'Take care of the pennies and the
dollars will take care of themselves" is
a sentence we often hear. If we neg
lect bur school work we cannot expect
to succeed in after life. We should
therefore be faithful in school, doing
we'll the duties assigned us, so that
when our school days shall have ended
we may recall, with pleasure, the many
happy days spent in the school room.
The poet said, "great oaks from lit
tie acorns grow" We may have little
or ,.othing with which to enter bust
ness, yet if we are faithful in our
work we are sure to succeed. Many
who are so fortunate as to have parents
to start them in life, are yet unfortu-
nate, for they do not feel the response
bilities and do not care so much about
their business. They who by hord
work and diligence earn a fortune
take best care of it.
It has been we'll said that diligence
IS the philosophers stone that turns
every thing to gold" Many young
men Just from the school room, with
the future bright before them, little
think of the hardships they will have,
to endure through life, yet with dill.
gence they may reach the top round
of the ladder of well.merited honor and
prosperity.

tinuously obstrueted. We must take
the rough and rocky way as well as the
smooth and pleasant. AS rule, the
men who stand boldly for the defence
of truth, are not the gentlemen who
have been rocked in the cradle of in
diligence or caressed in the lap of lux
ury; but they are men whom necessity
has called from the shade of retirement
to contend with the stern realities of
life under the scorching rays of the sun.
Life is earnes.! it is aggressive! with
just enough trouble to enable US to ap-
preciate it. ''Gems cannot be polished
without friction, nor man perfected
without adversely"

WAITING.
By Ella Wimberly.
prosperity

by Ella hlmDefly.
One of the most difficult lessons hu-
manity learns is the art of patiently
waiting. The activity which works
for certain end will prove the indus
try and skill of the worker; but the
strain upon his power of endurance
will not be felt then as painfully as
when his labor is over and he awaits
the result.
The sluggard who with folded hands
waits for the favorable turning of For
tunes wheel is buta drone in the hu-
man hive, but the patient man is he
who during his tolls and struggles en-
dures alike the balmy air of spring,
summers heat, or winters chill.
Skilled effort is required to enable
one to pa tiently await the results of
lifetime efforts to know whether we
are to be crowned with success or to
llnger amid disappointment.
He is hero who during such a
crisis can stand firm and erect, pre-
serving that even mental balance, that
unshaken fortitude, that courage and
endurance that have sustained our
greatest heroes or martyrs through the
ours of trial.
It requires culture to bear unmoved
the suspense that precedesgreat events
in life when one is ready for we'll
earned rest successful or for renewed
effort if failure ls the result of years
of weary labor. Life's journey is
marked by periods of waiting in pros
perity or pain. Waiting is the guar
dian of faith, the preseryer of peace,
and the teacher of humility. We
must be satisfied to work energetic
ally with purpose and wait the re-
suit.
All progress of the best kind is slow,
but you can accomplish anything if
you only have patience. Water may
be carried in sieve if you can only
wait till it freezes. Those who at the
commencement Of their career meet
less applause than they deserve, not
unfreque1tly gain more than they
merit at the end.
The active have duties to perform;
but there are those to whom is given
40 part in life's work but to await
Gods will patiently. Some are de
MED physical power, some to whom is
given no mental force, some are strick-
en down helpless midway in life's jour
ney and must be burden upon loving
or careless hands until kindly released
by Death. To these in their weary
hour of inactivity and suspense, when
physical powers lie PROSTATE and men,
tai force is enfeebled, there is COM
fort in the thought that, ''They also
serve who only stand and wait. D
Wait cheerfully then at lIfe's station
where Patience is called upon for her
work folding the hands perhaps prayer
fully, but fretting not that they must
for the, time lie idle. Wait as Cots
humble servant till he opens the way
for renewed usefulness or gives the
gentle spirit rest in what we hope to
be life everlasting
