NEW YEAR THOUGHTS.

LABOR the True Key OF Success In Lie.
Few Excellent Maxims.
Renewed feelings Of ambition are
synonymous with the opening of the
new year More resolutions are made
than at any other time, and as often are
they alas! broken. But with some the
resolutions made with the dawn of
new year have been carried through to
its close. Numerous lives of honor and
achievement can be traced to some de-
termination of purpose made upon an
occasion such as the first day of the year
affords for fresh start in the journey of
life. We all desire success; the prob
lem of life is it's winning. Every per-
son carries in his or her own hand the
key that unlocks either the door of sue
cess or failure.
The true key of success is labor, and
it requires strong, resolute will to turn
it. 1t is hard, earnest work, step by
step, that insures success, and never was
this truth more potent than at the
present time. Positions of trust and
eminence are no longer secured at
single leap. Men and women have ceased
to succeed in a hurry. Occasionally
stances are rare. Success, writer has
said, is the child of confidence and perse-
verance, and never was the meaning of
a word more clearly defined. The secret
Of many successful careers is the
thorough performance of whatever has
been undertaken.
An excellent maxim is that which
counsels us never to put our hands to
any thing into which we can not throw
our whole energies harnessed with the
very best of our endeavors. Persever-
ance is essential to success. since it is
often achieved only through success
sion of failures. In spite of our best
efforts, failures are in store for the ma
jority of the race. 1t remains, then, for
us all to do the best we can. under all
circumstances, bearing in mind that
races are not always won by the swift
est feet nor triumph in battle secured
by the strongest arms. It is not so much
the possession of swiftness or strength
as it is the right application of them by
which success is insured.
In starting out upon the journey of
life it is we'll:
AAoOS w OOO1AA OVOA hOAAOA VI hAOW40a
edge within your reach.
Study people for the knowledge they
can impart to you.
Read books for what they can teach
you. Next, see what your temperament
best suits you for.
Mark your tendencies and apply them.
Be sure you have not mistaken your
calling.
Once certain, apply yourself to your
chosen work.
Then work hard, earnestly and inces-
sanity.
Don't consider any thing beneath you.
Be patient, honest and pleasant in
manner.
Treat all persons alike, high or low.
Have smile for all, pleasant word
for everybody.
Success may not come at first, but it
will not be far off, and when it does
come it will be the sweeter for it's delay.

Brother Jonathan and Uncle Sam.

During the Revolutionary War Jona-
than Trumbull, the Governor of Connecti-
cut, was the intimate personal friend of
General Washington, who, having conf
dence in his ability and prudence, often
consulted with him, especially in emer-
gencies where caution was required. As
these were frequent, the expression, 1--WE
must ask Brother Jonathan about this"
was often heard from Washington's lips,
and the soldiers in the army caught it up
as cant saying. When marching on an
expedition of which the destination was to
them unknown, one would shout to an
other, Where are we going?" "Ask
Brother Jonathan" was the reply and the
traditional shrewdness and caution of
Governor Trumbull thus, it is supposed,
caused the name to be applied to the ma
ton. The term Uncle Sam, as applied to
the Government, originated about the
same time. Samuel Wilson was one of
the inspectors of provisions for the Cont
uental Government, and by his friends
and employees was familiarity known as
Uncle Sam. Ebert Anderson, leading
contractor to supply the army, was accus-
toned to have his packages marked E. A.,
U. s., meaning Ebert Anderson, United
States. The soldiers who saw the pack
ages of supplies thus designated, faceti-
ously connected the two men with the let
ters on the goods, and made them read
From Ebert Anderson to Uncle SAM"
The joke was readily appreciated, and as
all the supplies Of the army came through
the hands of Uncle Sam, it was easy to
make his name synonymous with that of
the Government.

Patent Clothing.

We find one common motive of inven-
tions, the principle of combining two or
more purposes in one article, often worked
out Theoretically in clothing. Here is a
double-fronted shirt, two fronts (the upper
one to be detached) to every shirt, and the
laundress set at defiance, with the addi-
tional advantage of the insertion of slips
of crinoline steel, or other yielding ma
tallic substance, to prevent the trucking
up to which such things are subject.
There are combined collars and neckties;
reversible coats with differing surfaces, SO
that either side might be worn outward at
will, and trousers made after similar
fashion; also double. fronted coats; a
paletot which might, by artful flaps and
appendages, be made into short coat, a
great coat, dress coat or a hunting coat ;
and coats which, being dress or "claw-
hammered" coats in the first place, had
skirts that could be detached or folded
back out Of sight when not wanted. Here
are trousers, partly lined with waterproof
materials and SO contrived that "the lower
part of the legs thereof can be turned up
and buttoned round the body for riding or
in wet and muddy weather, and turned
down or buttoned round the leg in fine
weather or for walking" For similar
emergencies there were hoods and capes of
thin materials concealed, in patent ways,
under coat-collars; or wings attached
underneath coat skirts, which would be
brought out to cover the legs in shower !;
or mud-shields, which might, could, would
or should be fastened to the heels of boots
to keep the trousers from being spattered.

Republican Candidates Out Capturing
the Country Voters.
A correspondent, writing from Florin
says of the Republican meeting held there
on Thursday evening:
About 200 citizens of Florin and vicinity
gathered at Florin Hall to hear the several
Republican county candidates on the issues
of the day. Mr.. Nealy, of Florin, was
elected Chairman, and John McNie Secre-
tary.
The first speaker was Frank D. Ryan,
candidate for District Attorney, who made
]. Campbell, candidate for the Assembly,
and if there were any Democrats in the
hall be made them scratch their heads.
The next speaker was George c. McMul-
lin, candidate for Sheriff, who made a
very happy speech. w. W. Rhoads, can
didate for County Clerk. made q very i'm
pressive speech, as did Joseph Sims, can
didate for Assessor.
Frank T. Johnson, candidate for Re-
corder (Mr. Ryan said), was looking for a
wife and as there were lots of Florin's pretty
girls present, his attention was given
largely to them, and his speech was quite
to the point. The next speaker was Ed
ward Lyon, candidate for Treasurer Ia
very important Office. He made very
neat speech, and was followed by George
II. Clark, candidate for Coroner. He made
a short speech, but very impressive one.
Thomas jenkins, candidate for Super
visor, brought the house down" with
cheers and laughter by his remarks.
G. W. Harlow, candidate for Public Ad-
ministrator, make very telling speech.
The meeting adjourned with three rous-

ANNEXATION OF TEXAS.
The War with Naturalization of jaime
X. Polk-Defeat of Harry CLAW

Il. Polk-Defeat of Henry Clay.
In 1885 the Texans, under the leader
ship of Stephen F. Austin, Samuel Hous-
ton and other American colonists, threw
off the Mexican yoke, and after years
hard fighting established their independ-
ence. After maintaining itself as an indie
pendent republic for nine years, Texas ap-
piled, early in 1874, for admission into the
American Union. The petition, however.
was rejected by Congress, although chiefly
for partisan reasons. Slavery was recog-
nized in Texas, and the leaders of the slav-
that the institution was ruled out by law
| from all Western territory north of the
southerly boundary of Missouri, saw in
Texas their only chance for the preserva-
ton of the balance between the slave and
free States. Consequently the Democrats
championed admission and the Wings op-
posed it. In the Presidential election in
the fall of 1914 the Democratic candidate,
James K. Polk, was elected on the admis-
sion issue, the Wing nominee, Henry Clay,
being defeated The next year Congress
provided for the annexation of Texas, al
| though realizing the act meant war with
Mexico One of the Wing grounds of OPP
position to Texas admission was the fact
that there was a dispute between that
country and Mexico as to the westerly boun-
dairy Of abe former. Texas put it at the
Rio Grande, while Mexico insisted that it
should be the Nueces. The conflict be-
tween the United States and Mexico be-
gan in 1916 and ended in 1S4S. As re-
suit of the war we obtained territory so
large in area that, in be laguage of Web
ster a bird could not nv over it in week.
The United States thus gained, in addi-
ton to the undisputed possession of Texas
westward to the Rio Grande, the greater
part of what is now New Mexico and Ari-
IONA, part of Colorado and the whole of
California, Nevada and Utah. The re-
mainder of the present Territories of New
Mexico and Arizona was bought from
Mexico in 1868 in what is known as the
Gadsden purchase, the United States paying
$10,000,000. For the region gained from
Mexico between 1916 and 1S4S the United
States paid Mexico Sl5,000,O00, besides
assuming the debt of Texas, S7,500.0O0,
and certain debts due by Mexico to Amer
lean citizens, amounting to about So, $780,

A Tardy Vengeance.

That eminent political economist who
defined murder as "a salutary check to
over-population" was certainly an adj
vanced theorist in his own way; and so,
too, was that famous surgeon who spoke OF
the battle of Waterloo as "a colossal ex-
ample of unscientifc dissection" But
both these admirable men have been COM
pletely thrown into the shade by humb-
Ter professor of the same school, who
figured in an adventure that befell no less
a person than Sir Walter Scott
During one of the great novelists
journeys through the north of England he
was attacked by slight indisposition
while halting at small village near the
Scottish border, and sent out his servant
in quest of doctor. The man soon re-
turned and ushered in stout elderly per-
son, in whom Sir Walter recognized, to his
no small surprise, former servant of his
own.
"Why, john" cried he, ''is this really
your"

ment, pm very glad that any book of

"Weel," replied John, with quiet dig

Sir Walter was thunderstruck, as well
he might be, knowing as he did that John
was as ignorant of medicine as of Chinese.
