Gems Of Thought.

A good conscience makes an easy
couch.
Each day IS little life; our life is
but day repeated.
1t costs more to revenge injuries than
to bear them.
True eloquence consists in saying all
that is required and in saying only
what is required.
Scandals are like dandelion seeds !;
they arc arrowheaded and stick when
they fall, and bring forth and multiply
four fold.
Life is q sacred trust to all. lie is at
fault who does not take due care of his
own; he is guilty who does not respect
the lives of others.
It should seem that Incidence itself
would induce person to be honest, as
it requires infinitely greater pains and
continuance to be knave.
Money to man is like water to a
plant, only useful as long as itpromotes
,rowth-like water in the fountain or
water in the tank, keep it flowing, and
It blesses keep it stagnant, and it
injures.
A good inclination is but the first
rude draught of virtue; but the finish
ing strokes are from the will, which, if
we'll disposed, will by degrees perfect !;
i i'll disposed, Will by the superinduc-
ton of i'll habits quickly deface it.
A young man must so conduct himself
us to command the respect and conf
dence Of all with whom he comes IN
contact. The way in which he is re-
garded by others will have powerful
influence on his future. 10 disregard
the opinions Of others would be to
inyite failure.
Prejudice may be considered as a
continual false medium of viewing
things; for the prejudiced not only
never speak well, but also never think
well of those whom they dislike, and
the whole character and conduct is SO
considered with an eye to that particu
lar thing which ottends them.
Good manners are the blossoms of
good sense and OF good feeling. If the
law of kindness he written on the heart,
it will lead to that disinterestedness in
both great and little thinSs-that desire
to obIige, and that attention to the
qualification Of others, Which are the
foundation Of good manners.

INSULTS.

1t is always better to pass dozen
intended insults without recognition
than to take offence at single unlnten-
tlonal neglect or reflection. Misunder-
standings are fruitful Of more unklndly
feelings in society than ever result from
deliberate ill-nature. Hundreds of
friendships have been sunderel by that
egosticai sensitiveness which is ever
looking for offence. We can all point
to certain persons who are thus NOR
bidly sensitive to painful degree. -
They are disagrceable companions. We
need not waste our precious time IN
pointing TO them, however. We have
each something TO guard in our own
character. We are each inclined to
take oliense too easily. If we could
remove this ever-iealous watchfulness,
society would be relieved Of very dis.
agreeable feature. Then pass neglect
aud personal reflection, as gracefully as
possible, instead of being offended when
no offence is intended

The physicians contest draws rapidly
to a close. There will be only four more

be made of every coupon obiainlble.
Hundreds OF coupons are being held until

bic that THE LEADER office will be prac-
tHcally swamped under a deluge Of them
Within the past week one gentleman
bought SOS copies Of the paper for the
coupons Only twenty-five have yet been
sent in. Besides these, 1000 copies have
been sold to four persons, in quantities,
all Of whom are holding them until the
last minute Many people, beside, have
been saving up all the coupons they could
secure, for the purpose OF unloading at
what they judged would be the most Au-
spicious time. This applies not only to
Cheyenne. but to all important
along the line Of the Union Pacific. DR..

The gorgeous comic operate extrava-
CANA, the 'Corsair, which will be seen
at the opera house on Saturday night
marks an era in stage illusions and cos
.uming. The piece is one of the musical
burlesaue kind for which Rice and Dixey
are famous, hut for scenic effect and ele-
Rance Of costuming will probably be a
theatrical revelation. Some $24. 900 were
spent in originally putting thl- piece upon
the stage. and the perfection to which its
scenic and mechanIcal effects have been
brought demonstrates a new phase IN
theatrical realism. The most notable
scenes are the M ,rket Place of STAN
boul," the Departure of Conrad's
Bark" the Pirates Grotto," the Gar.
dem Of the Pasha," the "Harem in the
Pasha's Palace, and the grand trans
formation scene, the Palace of Pearl. -

TIE LEADER recently announced that
at a m citing OF the board of trustees held
in Laramie it was decided to depose
President John W. Hoyt, this decision to
take effect on Dec, 81. The information
was printed in this paper u dav ahead of
the Laramie papers aud was copied by
the Laramie Republican word for word,
but without any hint being given by that
paper as 10 the source of the information.
Several days later the same item, still
word for word, was copied into the Salt
Lake Tribune and credit for it gwen to
the Laramie Republican. THE LEADER
rarely pays any attention to matters of
this kind, bur as the Republican is Justly
acquiring a reputation for pirating its
news we mention this as one OF a number
Of different instances of the same sort in
which the Republican has imposed its
borrowed plumaRe upon Its newspaper ex-
changes.

NEW YORK, Dec, 24-Mrs. William
Aston recently bought two dresses in
Paris, paying 1000 francs apiece for
them. Mrs. Astor paid the dressmaker
the COST OF shipping the dresses. and a
sum equal to the duties on them, but
the dressmaker calmly pocketed the
money which Mrs. Aston gave
TO him to pay the duty, and
inYoiced the dresses as worth 1000
francs together, an differentiation OF so
per cent. The 6ressmaker turned the
dresses over to an express company. The
dresses arrived Eere n week ago and the
differentiation was discovered at the
appraiser stores. Mrs Astor explained
the situation, and her lawyer called at the
custom house yesterday to see what was
being done about the affair. The dresses
will be reappraised.

LANGUAGE.

Mr.. Sutherland is an earnest and sin

~elSionaly gets into the clutches of the
Laramie county members and makes evil

political matters. A bill under oonsider-
alton in committee of the whole was that
requiring REGISTRATION in municipal cleo

applicable to the coming Cheyenne cleo
ton early in January. Very few mem

house was manipulating 1t. Mr.. Suther

when some iudicious objections were made
by MI. Brown against railroadinR it
through the gentleman from Albany at
once made the statement that the bill
would go through the committee of the
Whole all right, after which he would call
J. mp for immediate passage under sus-
ension Of the rules, and IL toould pass

debate and investigation, but to railroad
The bill through with that high handed
disregard Tor deoency which characterized

APPEARED TO A~DTANTAGE

Two Democratic members of the house.
Brown of Sheridan and Clay of Converse,
appeared to remarkably good advantage
yesterday 10 the discussion of the bill
creating the Office OF attorney general.
To their earnestness. evident honesty and
skill in debate may be ascribed the prac
tical defeat at a session where only three
Democrats out of a representation Of
nineteen members were present Brown

brown is opposed to shams in whatever
iv.m they may be presented, and dashcs
into the midst Of the fray like a gallant
c,vAlry leader on a charge, There is very
little humor apparent 10 his composition,
his character being essentially serious. but

Clay is entirely different in his orator.

friday was perhaps the best set speech
that has been made at this session He
! yer makes any attempt at oratory but
1 Ks earnestly IN a low even voice
t as though ho was speaking to a small
gathering Of friends. Whenever he
rises to his feet, which is not too often,
he always has something practical to say
and never ''sloDs over" Clay makes a
typical representative-utterly devoid of
trickery. always open to conviction and
apparently ANXIOUS only to get at the best
way Of doing whatever is before the
iousc.
Brown OF Sheridan and Clay and
Haker of Converse are exceeding capable
men on the floor of the house and their
constituencies have every reason to be
satisfied with them.

THE silly action Of the Republican leg
islature Of Idaho In e%lecting three United

referred to in these columns, is thus com
mented on by The St Louis Globe Demo.
erat: The Idaho legislature on Thurs
day last elected three senators-oue of
them for a term commencing on the 4th
of March, 1921. The law on the subject
Of election to the senate says that a sena-
tor shall be chosen BY the legislature
which convenes next preceding the expira-
ton Of the term to be filed. That is to
say, in the case OF Mr. Vest, whose term
expires on the 4th Of next March, the
Legislature which meets in January shall
elect. But it Idaho there is no vacancy
- be filed on the 4th of March, and the
Legislature has no right to create one by
declaring that the term Of one of the men

that day. 1t is for the senate, and not
for the legislature. to say when the term
Of a senator from a new state shall cx-
