LUCK.

Hard luck is almost synonym
for laziness.
Good luck is the twin brother OF
hard work.
Luck walks while work rides in a
carriage.
Luck pictures dollar while work
earns it.
Luck dreams Of home, but work
builds one.
To trust to luck is like fishing
with hookless line.
Luck is disease for which hard
work is the only remedy.
Luck longs for a dinner, while
labor goes out and earns one.
Luck goes barefooted, while work
never lacks for a pair of shoes.
Luck is a weather-vane with the
Distinguishing points broken of.
The man who relies on luck is
lucky if he keeps out Of the poor
house.
Luck takes a nap, while brains
and hard work are winning the
prizes. Florida Times Union.

George w. Shanklin, Of Evans
vile, Ind, died here this afternoon
at the residence of his sister, Mrs.
Justice Harlan. He came here last
spring TO engage in some newspaper
work and was taken i'll, and since
then has been confined tothe house.
Six months ago his illness assumed
a dangerous form, dropsy and heart
trouble setting in, and for three
months the well-known and popular

man. About six weeks since it was
thought that he would live but a
few days, but he rallied, as he often
did from severe attacks.
During all Of his long illness he
exhibited remarkable interest in
public affairs, and when unable to
read the daily papers had his nurse
or a member Of the family "run
over the news" for his benefit. He
had for many years taken an active
and prominent part in his state and
national politics, and was an able
and vigorous writer. On the mon
ey question Mr.. Shanklin was .
radical free-silver advocate, and on
the tariff an out and-out free trader.
Though at times ardent and radical
in his views, he was always sincere
and had the courage Of his convic-
Itions. He and his brother, the
Hon. j. Gilbert Shanklin, we're
much alike in many respects, and
|, generally shoulder to shoulder on
| all questions. They were devoted
ito each other, and the opinion of
sIone was the opinion of the other.

he had the highest respect and the

Little Willie wanted a drum

Little Willie wanted a drum.
His mother thought it would be a
good opportunity to give Willie an
object lesson on the efficacy of
prayer, SO advised him to try it.
When he knelt down by his little
bed that night and bowed his head
his mother slipped the drum on the
bed and Willie prayed:
"Now / lay me down to sleep
/ want q drum.
l pray the Lord my soul to keep
want q drum.
If l should die before wake
/ want drum.
/ pray the Lord my soul to take
want a drum.
When Willie raised his head there
lay the drum. His eyes fairly pro-
truded in amazement. Finally he
exclaimed in an ecstasy Of Joy:
where in blszes did that drum
come from, anyway?''-San Fran

Every day there are people walk

sticking out Of their pockets. They
are actually looking around for some
place to spend it. The man who
reaches out with his advertisements

get what he leaves. Some OF them
may get left entirely.

Socialism means anything but
the division dividing of prop

Socialism contemplates the alb
solute concentration of the
ownership of the wealth of
the country into the collective
control and ownership by the
people themselves. The only
division of things that socialists
propose is the fair division of
commodities produced, but not
by any means do they propose
the division of the ownership OF
the machinery that produced
those products.

For silly journalistic .exhibi-
ton the News Tribune's recent
attack on City Treasurer Voss
for using a part of the proceeds
of the water bond sales to take
up overdue city orders, beats a
record already phenomenal.
What the gold bug champion
would have considered good
financiering would have been for
Mr.. Voss to put the money in
some bank. Then the city's
orders would have gone to de-
fault, the interest thereon still
continued to swell some pluto
Gratis pull on the taxpayers and
the bank would have had that
much more plumber to quit bust
ness for. The treasurer's action,
instead of being a subject for
criticism, is entitled to the ut
most praise as a display of COM
mon sense at time when that
valuable accomplishment, among
public officials, is mighty rare.

this is the first instance where

At the national election last
fall the silver element, the sup
posedly reform element, of Du-
luth, gained glorious victory.
It rolled up a majority of which
it might be proud. And what
has it done since? Nothing;
absolutely nothing; unless ex-
planning how it happened
could be called something.
The opportunity to obtain con-
trolling power of the munich.
pal government was within the
grasp of the silver people.
What have they done? In
stead of taking advantage of
this splendid opportunity they
have allowed their organization
to 60 to pieces. They, instead
of calling a convention
and putting candidates for
the different municipal offices
in the field and put up an hon.
orable and aggressive fight,
have made themselves subjects
for lust ridicule and criticism;
a laughing stock in the eyes of
the public. They have INDUCED
in encounters and personalities
and resOrted to all that has
been charged against the old
corrupt parties. We naturally
ask ourselves: Has the ballot
outlived it's usefulness.

scy had any official existence as such-l5O years
ago. in fact-the same difficulties were in prog.
ress, and a quaint narrative of some of the
causes of commotion is to be found in the early
history OF New York town.
1t appears that the individuals known $50
years ago as the Proprietors OF the province OF
New Jersey claimed TO be legally vested with
the right, among other rights, to all "fshings

HA11xUx FREIGHT RATE GASES.
The Announcement or the Opiuien or the su-
preme Court May Ne Delayed.

WARRINGTON. Oct. e,-There Is no warrant for
tho recently revived report that the Supreme
Court has decided what are known ae the Ne
brosEa maximum freight rate cases adversely
to the state or otherwise. 1t Is the opinion OF
attorneys who have read tho arguments and
followed the case that tho court would reach
that conclusion, but 1t has not done so yet 1t
was argued for tho second time near the close
Of tho last term, Mr.. William J. Bryan appearing
for the State Board Of transportation and Mr..
James c. Carter for tho railroads. Ono OF tho
Judges was assigned to tho duty Of writing the
opinion, but that document. oven IL 1t has boon
completed. will not be submitted TO the men,
bers of the court for their formal consideration
until tho 10th inst, when tho court will meet
for their first consultation in the approaching
term.
1t has been expected. because of tho Inn
p%ortance OF tho issues involved. and also
because of the fact that a rearRument
was had, that tho case would BIO one OF
tho first decided when tho court reconvoned,
but the announcement OF the opinion may be
delayed for some time.
Tho State Board OF Transportation established
a schedule of maximum freight rates to be
charged on business within the state lines, but
on petition OF the railroads Justice Brewer, sit
ting at circuit, issued an injunction restraining
the State Board from enforcing tho schedule on
the ground that it did not afford the railroads a
sustaining revenue. That opinion Is under TO
view in the Supreme Court.
