Office Seeking.
The Temptation to Enter
Public Life.


4 From Moundsyille Herald.
There are numerous applicants
for all the positions at the dis
posal Of the incoming State and
national administrations. It has
been estimated that on an aver
age there are ten aspirants for
every position. There is moth.
ing strange or new about this. 1t
has been the same whenever ad.
illustrations change ever since
the eminent statesmen Hickory
Jackson lnaugurated the ITO the
victors belong the spoils'' idea.
This mania for holding public
Office is a strange one though SO
very common. While there are
no statistics to prove .it there is
a general belief that more men
are ruined by seeking and hold
ing public Office than are benefit
ed. When men get the Bee:
they seem to lose reason and
| judgment and from being quiet,
sober, industrious citizens they
often become almost totally
worthless, and from good, sound,
straightout party men from
principle they become kickers
and mug-wumps because their
superlatlve merits have not been
properly recognized and suitably
rewarded by their parry. Before
becoming an Office seeker it is
well to take yourself by the arm
and walk yourself into some
quiet and secluded spot where
nobody with a petition for the
post office can tlrd you, If there
is such spoton earth, and have
q nice, friendly talk with your
self. You can dot so much bet
ter than neof your friends You
are not so liable to be insnlted
and have your feelings hurt. Ask
yourself a lot of questions like
this. what haveI done to.

it? What will I have to do to.

fee ? What will it benefit me
financially ? What will the 9th.
er applicants do if 1 get it {?
What will lido ifthe other fellow
gets it? And there are lots Of
other questions that will suggest
themselves. This year it hap
pens to be the Republicans who
are the seekers. We have not
heard of a Democrat after an
Office for three weeks. To the
good brethren we would say keep
cool. Remember your oft re.
peated declaration that you are a
Republican from principle. In
the face of this it would look ri
diculous to change your politics
just after getting knocked out in
a race for small position. Face
the music. Let US repeat-keepl
cool-the change in the weather
makes it easier. Remember if
youdon't get the plum some 9th
er good Republican will and ten
to one he will be more an object
for your pity than for your envy.
If you have any business good
trade and work-stick to it. You
will be happier and in nine cases
in ten you Wilt better off finan.
cially. After all most of the
men WHO have made a success Of
Office holding were blank failures
at everything else they tried.

A suit OF clothes is like the human
frame-the better attention paid 1T and
the more care given II, the longer 1t
lasts. 1t is no rash assertion to say
that the life of suit of clothes sent
occasionally to the tailor to be over
hauled is twelve months, where a suit
of the same material and manufacture
to which no attention is paid will not
exceed six momths. The Good Luck
Shoe & Clothing company, with a de-
gree Of enterprise which is to be com
mended, are out with an offer to all
purchasers of suits, sold in excess of
$40. to give this care and attention for
six months from date of sale. For this
purpose a repair card will be issued and
all the pressing or effects of wear and
tear from natural causes will be done
free of cost. The Good Luck Shoe &
Clothing company are now in the Sec
ond season of their existence and
though the months through which they
have passed are few they have built up
a business second to none in the state,
simply by close prices, judicious ad-
vertising and a vigorous adherence to
correct business principles The firm
is located at 81, 80. 35. 81 Month Main,
where they will be happy to receive
callers.

FOURTH OF JULY EVENTS

Copies of the programme for the first

received in Butte and the local horsemen
are greatly pleased with it. The pro-

letter calling attention to the details OF
the meeting which are of particular inter-
est to horsemen. In this letter e. A. Tip
ton, the lessee and manager of the two
tracks, says:
Your attention is respectfully called to
the great race meetings at Anaconda and
Butte and to the important fact that
when once at the Anaconda track you
will have seven weeks al days. of contin-
uous racing with but one move, and that
only 27 miles. The purses will amount to
about 100000, and no backward step will
be taken, the programme for the seven
weeks being up to the standard Of the
one 1 enclose for first and second weeks
at Anaconda.
beginning with the first week at Ana
conda, the programme for running races
will be announced weekly, but the full
programme for harness races will be an
nounced on or before May l.
Most of the races for trotters and
PAGERS will be mile heats q in 81, which
will enable a horse to be raced twice as
often as was possible under the old sys-
tenn and enable the spectators to take
dinner at a respectable hour. which fact
alone VIII tenu 10 increase the INTEREST III

The new feature in regard to harness
races will prove exceedingly popular and
will undoubtedly. as Mr.. Upton says,
stimulate the interest in harness races.

American Racing Rules except where To-
cal conditions prevail, and the harness
races will be under the rules of the Ma

A great many improvements will be
made this spring at both the Butte and
Anaconda tracks in the way of new

Tho Law Of Growth.

Or. Charles Sedgewick Minot. pro.
fessor OF histology and embryology in
the Harvard medical school, backs up
his theory OF the law Of growth by the
results of several years of observations
upon guinea pigs, dogs, rabbits, ferrets,
and other small animals, as well as
Boston school children. He says that
in all growing animal Orga nisms, from
the period of birth to death there Is a
steady loss Of the power to grow, con-
,rary 10 the general belief that this loss
begins later in life. The body develops
all the time, but the power to keep mp
that DEVELOPMENT steadily decreases
after birth, and II decreases much more
rapidly at first than later In life. A
guinea pig two days old will gain 10
per cent. of its weight In the next two
days. But the twenty-ffth addition of
10 per cent. to It's weight will take the
pig lightweight days. The law Is the
same with animals aud man.
