The person who By stress OF circum-
stances is hprced to deny himself those
pleasures OK music, books, lectures, or
whatever his taste Graves, because lac
must lobor year in and year out 10 his
physical limit, with the added strain OF
mental anxiety that those dependent
upon him may not suffer, and who shuns
the temptations 20 be unscrupulous for
the sake of gain, who keeps his soul
pure and his body undefiled, should
not be called 10 account because he Is
not cheerful.
The professionally cheerful person.
who believes in being cheerful under
all circumstances, seems TO ignor tue
fact that sorrow is large part Of LIES
experience, and often a divine part, too.
An abandonment TO grief when grief
is fresh and keen, will sometimes bring
its own healing. when an attempt 10
rouse and cheer one up would give y
cruel, lasting wound. There are per
sons who pride themselves on their per
petual cheerfulness, who are cheerful
simply because they have no touch Of
sympathy with the unfortunate and
grief laden humanity. They are callous
10 suffering, and delude themselves
with the belief that their cheerfulness
is mark OF self-control, when the fact
il they have very little feeling 10 con
troll.
Ii is not ones first duty in life to be
cheerful. For most of the human family,
life is q hard school with serious prob
lens TO be worked out in anguish Of
spirit, with wAvering hope, aud maybe
for a time, loss OF faith in the true and
good. 1T takes brave man to face his
sins with their consequences, and yet
how many must do it, and, though the
process may be salutary, 1t Is one Ia
which cheerfulness has no part, nor
should one try TO make cheerfulness
part of repentance until the wrong has
been mended.
OF the cheerfulness that makes one
strong to battle with temptations, brave
10 face difficulties, heoric IN bearing the
inevitable, and enables one to view LIE
in its true proportion, neither as .
prison house of woe nor yet as the
bright dream Of q day there cannot be
too much. Ii Is beautiful wherever we
find il.
II is the Aggressively cheerful person
to whom we object; the person, who
because he is happy thinks everyone
else can be; the person who is incapa,
BILE of feeling a sorrow not personal TO
himself; the person who does not IN
derstand that there are occasions when
cheerfulness is uniting, and for whom
the experiences of death and bereave-
ment are not too sacred for light

LITTLE Rock. Ark, March l2. Dur
ing the past year much trouble has cx
lsted In the Christian church Of Little
Rock on account Of the eccentricities OF
the pastor, Rev. Thos. j. Shelton, for
merly resident OF Wichita, Kan. In
fact, the congregation divided, aud
new church edifice was purchased, al
though the Shelton church was by no
means overer1wded. II was alleged
that Rev. MIR. shelton preached every

LOOKS SERIOUS FOR BOYD.
The be Fscto Governor of Nebraska Has
No stnch "a Net.

LINCOLN, Neb. March i2.-When the
Boyd-Thayer contest came up in the su-
preme court, ON Boyd's filing his answer,
considerable surprise was occasioned by
the contents Of the document The
answer is voluminous, and recites a his
tory OF Boyd's birth, coming TO America,
and all his official acts since becoming 81
age, and asserts that these all constitute
him citizen of the United States; yet,
To further clear the doubts that had ap-
peared on his citizenship lac went before
Judge Dundy of the United States dis
trict court at Omaha, Dec. l6, 1890, and
was duly admitt~d 10 citizenship.
Upon the iilingof this answer Thayers
attorney filed a demurrer thereto, assert
ing that the answer does not state facts
sufficient 10 constitute defense 10 the
information; that the facts stated in
said answer are insufficient to justify the
defendant in holding and exercising the
Office OF governor OF Nebraska; that the
answer shows upon It's face that the de
fendant, James +. Boyd, was an alien
and ineligible To the Office OF governor Of
Nebraska 10 November, 1890, at the
time Of his pretended election, and
that he unlawfully invaded and usurped
tiit once Oh RONtTHOT IN y JhuuaIlr 1891. bt-
fore the filing of the information, and that
he now holds the same unlaw-
fully and without right and au-
thority OF law, a. charged IN
the said information; that the said
answer admits upon its face the facts
pleaded in the information, showing the
election Of the relator, John Nj. Thayer,
Ia November, 1855, and his right 10 hold
said office by reason OF ineligibiity and
consequent non-election of the defendant
for the term OF two years from the first
Thursday after the first Tuesday OF Ian
nary, 1891, and until a successor shall be
elected and qualified.
The court sits to-day 10 hear argu-
meuts on this demurrer. 1t Is quite
generally conceded that Mr. Boyd will
have 10 20, He Is citizen, but his
dates from Dee lG, 1890, and
the constitution requires that he shall
have been a citizen for ten years prior
10 the day OF the election. The record
OF his naturalization, Dec IS, 1890. has
been suppressed until this time and at
torneys argue that the filing Of that rec
cord as an exhibit to his answer virtually
admits himself out OF court.

more sincere tnourneT at the deathbed
than Senator Stanford. lie ordered his
private car to Washington so that it

parties under congressional direction are
more or less OF a picnic. When the ser
geaut-at-arms OF the senate was arrang-
ing for the Hearst Obsequies he was
overwhe lined with applications 10 include
Ia the party a. mourners friends Of Ger
tain senators. These parties had not
the remotest interest la the matter
further than that they desired free
trip 10 California with refreshments and
wines Oh tap at the government
expense These applications were
pressed with SO much persistency that
large party was arranged. Nine Pull
man coaches, besides those provided for
the family and the congressional com
mittee, were attached 10 the train, aud
they were filled with the trends Of sena-
tors who had 'pull. Saturday when
Senator Stanford reached the station he
discovered that the occasion for the most
part was not one Of mourning Airlly-
dressed relatives OF senator's occupied
sections IN the long train OF Pullman
coaches, and there was general air Of
good humor about the affair that indi-
Gated expectations OF a rousing good
time. The senator was really shocked
AT the spirit OF the alleged mourners
and 10 show his disgust at the condition
OF affairs he ordered the couplings be-
tween his own ear and the rest Of the
train loosened. Mr.. Stanford will at
tend the funeral In California, but he
did not care 10 90 across the continent

drinking high-rollers who were supposed
10 be mourning for his dead friend.
