There are some people who are never
satisfied and nothing that Is done
meets with their approval. Not long
ago it became necessary to obtain o
new horse for the patrol wagon, as the
old horse was completely worn out.
AS Mr.. Monaghan. member OF the
Police Commission, is an excellent
Judge of horses, the matter was put In
his hands with instructions to pur-
chase good. sound, servlceable ami,
NAL. He visited several stables and
finally found an animal such as was
needed at the stables OF Jester Il Nc
Daniel. Mr.. Monaghan examined the
horse, and upon finding him perfectly
sound gave him trial, and as this
proved satisfactory in every respect
purchased him at once. Had he beer
buying horse for his own use hi
would have acted the same rs he die
in purchasing this animal for the city
But now there arc some people whit
are complaining and claim that favor
iLism was shown in buying the hors
from Jester II Mcdaniel.

Tho spring OF all true religion and
the foundation OF all genuine morail'
ty Is 'lovo TO God"
Men always act, 1t is said, from the
principles of self-love. Men arc not
SO bad, after all. They do as well as
they know how.
Self.lovo is the grand motive OF
human action. Men do what they
think best for their advantage. We
are always under obligations to dc
that which is right-it Is our duty.
= You may act conscientiously and
still be in tho wrong.
Love no man, not even your brother
II girls must love, let them love ont
another.
Love, which is such little thing, IL
still the most serious thing In life.
"Lovo knows no age-it possesses
no grave; it's happiness and Its trust
behold on the earth but one glory
melting into the hues OF Heaven
where those who love lastingly pas
calmly on to live forever"
