You think Of taking journey some day;
You have talked it over for years and
years;
Yet somehow or other you make delay
Until further and further away appears
The beautiful goal; and tell you now
To bind yourself by a solemn VOW
To cross the Rubicon. Pluck up hearth
For you'll never get there unless you startl
There looms before you from day to day
A task that you dread to undertake;
SO it hangs like cloud upon your way
Through which the sunshine can never
break
And tell you now that the better plan
Is to do the work asquick as you can;
Over your fears victory win,
For you'll never get through If you don't
beginl
With the bravest and busiest keep abreast,
Nor through love of incidence lose your
place,
For in each endeavor to do your best
You raise the hopes of the human race.
Be not content to grovel below, ....
But rise to your duties with faith aglowI
Letyour aims be high, and strive to excel;
For he who does better must first do welll
The heart that gives way to its doubts and
fears,
That idly dreams when there's work to do,
Will find itself, before many years,
Beggared and bankrupt through and
through.
There are journeys to take and tasks to be
done,
From early morning till set of sun,
And triumphs to win as none can deny,
And you'll never succeed unless you try!

OMELETS.


Among the many omelets made with
eggs, the most economical are those which
gain in bulk from the addition of some
ingredient cheaper than eggs; for in
stance, if cupful of cold salt fish is on
hand, melt together tablespoonful each
of butter and flour, gradually stir in a
cupful each of milk and water, or use
pint of water; add the cold fish free from
bones, three eggs beaten for a minute,
and high seasoning of salt and pepper;
stir the mixture over the fire until the
eggs are cooked to the desired degree,
and serve on toast. The delicacy of this
dish may be increased by separating the
yolks and whites and beating the latter
to stiff froth, stirring them in lastly.
With cold boiled rice favorite Southern
omelet can be made: Mix cup of cold
boiled rice with three eggs, salt and
pepper, the yolks mixed with the rice
and the whites beaten to stiff froth,
mixed lightly in; just as it is finished,
pour the omelet in hot pan with table.
spoonful of butter, and bake in a hot oven.

THE GUBERNAToRTAL CONTEST
Comments of the Territorial Press on
an Interesting Question.

The Sentinel is careful not to intimate
that Mr.. Warren exhibited any partiality
or uniairness toward Albany county when
he was governor, and it very generously
comedies that both are able men," Mr..
Warren will no doubt appreciate this high
compliment, as he makes no claim of su-
periority. He stands out simply as a citi-
zen of Wyoming who has taken his full
part in all the struggles for the advance
ment of the public interests, and who has
contributed his mite to the general veal.
He is not by nature a neutral factor. In
the late war, although but a lad. he made
a gallant record. Mr.. Morgan, on the
other hand, is a non-combatant. Some
years the senior, he was not tempted by
even the invasion of his own state to take
up arms. He went South, however, after
peace was declared. We mention this in
10 disparagemont to Mr.. Morgan. but
merely to illustrate the difference between
the two men.

who has been tried and found to be true
in every respect to the best interests OF
Wyoming Territory and his party. We
have such a man in the person of ex-
Governor Francis L. Warren. Public
Offices are not created for honorary pur-
poses solely. and to be given opt like
medals, but they are created for the bet
ter protection, government and well being
of the people. Hence the governed
should have a voice in the selection Of
their governor. Therefore we believe that
F. K. Warren should be appointed gov
ernor Of Wyoming Territory for the reason
that a great majority of the people OF
Wyoming Territory desire that he
should be.

are other good gentlemen within this ter
ritory who would fill the position very
crcditably, we doubt very much the wis

Mr.. Warren. AT the proper
time we should support n man who is
capable and conscientious. A man with
broad views, a man who thoroughly un-
derstands the wants and necessities of our
people. A man who is fearless, indie

JSO. y. CARROLL,
TIME TO STOP 1T

THE LEADER has several times called
attention to the series Of Munschausen
tales being telegraphed as news from
Cheyenne, and entered its protest against
such a method of quilting the public. The
matter has now achieved unpleasant no.
torlety. as the following Associated Press
dispatch received last night will show:
"ST. PAUL, March ll.-Within the
past few weeks special dispatches from
Cheyenne. Wyo., have been given pub
licity all over the country, giving counts
of various kinds of outrageous crimes
perpetrated in out of-the way regions IN
Wyoming and all lacking the element of
probability. These have been doubted by
people acquainted with the country, but
no positive denial of them has been made.
Yesterday the Cheyenne correspondent
sent out the most blood curdling account
OF the killing of FIVE French tourists in
Yellowstone park.
IAN official of the Northern Pacific
railroad was seen to-day. He said he
had been investigating the matter, as &C
cording to the story the party must have
come over his line. A careful inquiry at
all points where they would have been
liable to have lett the road to go into the
park region failed TO find any record Of
such people having been heard of, No
such guide is known in any part of the
park region as the man mentioned in the
story.
There is no such place as Rattlesnake
canyon in the park, and no Indians have
been on the park reservation for over two
years. The whole story is pronounced a
fake on a par with the killing of Mexi-
cans searching for a buried treasure and
several other romances which have eman-
ated from the Cheyenne correspondents.
1t is quite evident IRON the foregoing
that it is now high time to put a stop to
nonsense of this sort. The people OF
Cheyenne do not seek for their town such
notoriety as fake kilograms may bring.
Unless a halt is called THE LEADER, in
the interest of the community, will make
an exposure of the whole scheme.

Doubt frightening Int Hone,

And hope into certainty, is the pleasing
transition through which the mind of the
nervous, dyspeptic invalid passes who
tries a course of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which is alike incompatible and
inimitable. Increased vitality, a gain in
weight, tranquility of the nerves. sound
appetite and sleep are among the bless
ings which it is within the beneicent
power of this medicine to confer and it
is not surprising that after acquiring this
new dowry Of health the grateful sick
should sometimes utter their praise Of the
bitter in terms bordering on extravaganza.
Out of the fullness Of the heart the
mouth s~peaketh," and the proprietors of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters have some
times been obliged to suppress these
eulogiums lest they should be accused
of blowing their own trumpet too loud
ly. For constipation, billousuess, kidney
complaint and incipient rheumatism the
bitters is also a dcservedly popular
remedy.

For the information of Western and
Northern counties the Sun will disclose
the truth about this matter. The anger
of a few Laramie Republicans arises from
the fact that Cheyenne Republicans would
not consent to accept the programme laid
out by a small clique at Laramie. If we
had made more promises and such as were
wanted there would have been less fault
finding in that particular direction.
Every Office in the territory was wanted
at Laramie, and deliberately portioned
out in that city three days after the cleo.
ton by a few would-be political bosses.

'NII
The Cheyenne Sun endeavors to create
the impression that if MI. Morgan is
appointed governor it will be because
Wyoming will not be allowed to have a
voice in the matter. Does the Sm mean
to say that Mr.. Morgan will receive no
support from the territory Does it mean
to ~insinuate that there are not Republi-
cans Of influence in the territory who are
working and will continue to work for his
elevation to the governorship2 If so it is
deceiving itself. Cheyenne is not Wyo-
ming, however fondly such a belief may be
cherished by the supporters of the claims
OF Mr.. Warren. The ability OF Ex-Governor
Warren for the position is not questioned
by anybody, but there is a strong feeling
in Albany county, as well as elsewhere
throughout the territory. hat a certain
section and not the entire territory would
benefit by his selection. The movement
in his behalf Is not spontaneous, as the
Sun asserts, for it has been skillfully en-
gineered Tor SIX weeks past, and spontan-
iety don't need assistance. And we also
beg leave to differ with our esteemed con-
temporary when it saws hat the Repub-
can party of the territory has, through
its central committee, recommended the
appointment OF Mr.. Warren" The
Republican party Of Wyoming has as a
whole endorsed nobody. Some of the
members of the central committee are I'M
derstood to have sent letters to Washing
ton, but they amount to no more than
individual endorsements. No central
committee has the authority to pledge the
party TO any candidate. But even the so.
called endorsements were not unanimous,
and some of them would not have been
secured had the members been aware OF
the fact that Mr.. Morgan would be a can
didate.
