OBBs OBSERVATIONS.


what lie Sees and Hears During His
Travels.
1t may not be surprising to some to hear
that Dan Bradley the only Dan Of the First
ward, has again gone down to the county
Jail. Poor Dan He bears q hard repnta-
ton, but there are many wnogive him credit
for being good worker and a pretty good
sort of fellow when he leaves drink alone
He is unknown by but few in this town and
the county seat and when he walked iuto the
Wardens Office on Tuesday he was hailed On
all sides with familiar Hello, Dan back
again ?" 1t is but short time since he was,
Neleased He returned to town with
determination to reform, but whiskey got
holN Of him again and when his funds ran
low hS stole an iron pot to get drink. Con
stable Mooney arrested Dan and the Polish
woman Mbo bought the pot frem him. The
woman wan held for receiving stolen goods.
When Dan Was going to Jail he said he wouls
try to help theN eNwoman out OF the case as she
did not know he> had stolen the pot. There
are two other caseA against Dan for stealing
wash boiler and Nome blankets, but tile
losers refuse to prosecute.

Rents Of houses in town have taken a
tremendous boom lately and if they keep
going mp at the same ratio they have the past
few months we will have to import some
millionaires to occupy them. Yesterday L
was informed that property owner who
had just finished some new houses asks s2l
per month rent for them and bases the price
on the fact that they are heated by steam.
The people in this town who can afford 10 pay
that much rent are by no means nu nerOus
and l would advise the builders not to forget
the old maxim, "small profits, large sales, % or
they may some day hnd a row of white
elephants ON their hands. There is no dis
putting tine fact that there Is need of more
c)mnodious and modern dwellings ia town

weather eye should be kept on the purses.

Comfort and Progress.

81 think that man gets less comfort
out of life than does any other animal"
said George Mcdonald, guest of the
Southern. Life for him is continual
battle from the cradle to the grave.
What happiness he finds in the compan-
ionship of loved ones is more than coun-
terbalanced by the pain Of the inevitable
parting. Poverty, ambition and greed
are scorpion whips, goading him ever to
exertions beyond his strength, until at
last he sinks, worn out and weary, be-
fore he reaches what should be lifes
high noon. His very diversions are taken
in feverish, hurried manner, as though
he begrudged the time thus stolen from
business cares. And the higher the posi-
ton of a people in scale of civilization
the less of poetry and pleasure do they
appear to find, the more stubborn and
unrelenting the battle for existence.
With the lower animals life is a luxury
simple existence pleasure.
"The barbarian makes holiday while
civilized man slaves all day, and then
outwatches the bear. True it is that
only by constant endeavor is progress
possible, but of what value is that
progress which makes of man an un-
happy slave, toiling always beneath a
lash more cruel than ever fell across the
back of Lacedamonian helot or African
bondsman? Of what benefit are tri-
umphs that we cannot pause to enjoy?
Our pace is becoming too rapid. We
are trying to crowd the labor of centu-
ries into decades. Louis Globe
