 The lady who said she always had a good time because she always carried he. own good time with her had hit upon tho universal open secret of hap piness. It is tho being so firmly braeed within ono's own mind that no outside circumstance or misfortune can shakeoar steadfast serenity and happiness To Il mind that has learned thus to find it's own good times ill itself disaster, fire. flood, famine, pestilenco and death have no terrors. That such mental stato is possible has been shown over and again. Christian martyrs hayo sung with joy in tho flames. Those who have died for liberty or great principle have gone out of lifo with their eyes full of the sunlight of tho eternal. That somo minds can overcome outside oiroum- stances to such an extent proves tho pos sibility to exist in all minds,
 Most mortals believe that if they had this or that change in their outside lives-if they were rich, if they were in the so called first social rank, if their domestic affairs were diffcrent-they would be happy. They arc wrong, dead wrong. Happiness is in ourselves, and ourselves only. There is power in every human being which will enable him to control his own health and hap pinoss and oven his outward circum- stances. Tho calm. intelligent will, tho immoyably kind temper, just gener- ous nature, will in time gain for hu- man being all of good that man needs or wants here below Happy already is the one who has even partially developed these clements of happiness within him. self. Ho is tho individual who has more to Do thankful for than anybody else.

 Books and lSuSineHS

In inducing his son to abandon a promising career in literature for business pursuits, Nelson Morris, the great pork packer Of Chicago, has aroueed the ire of the Eundits and dilettani and inspired the admi- ration of that constantly increasing class of people who find in practical affairs much of enjoyment 10 self and broad opportunity to bestow benefit upon mankind
 Mir Morris advances unanswera- bly, arguments ia support of his course. "A million ,nep can write books" declares MT Morris, "but few have the opportunity that my son enjoys to become great in the business world. I would rather see him develop a capacity for affairs of practical life than be the greatest abthor of the century. I think a man of business does more for the x.aAmmupity in which he lives and for the world in general than writer of books. l emyloy ten thousand men, and l regard giving men an Opportunity for employment as the highest philanthropy.

Mrs. Samuel Stamm of Loganton,
Pa, bore her thirty-four years of suffer-
ing with courage and fortitude. Her
trouble was rheumatism in the knee.
In consequence her limb Had become
so stiff that she could hardly walk.
Mr.. Stamm is well-to-do merchant,
and has spared no pains or expense to
relieve her, but with little success, until
one night when it grew SO painful that
she could hardly endure it, he per-
suaded her to try Chamberlains Pain
Balm. The first application relieved
the pain, and its continued use has re-
moved all stiffness and given her the
free use of her limb once more. If
you have a friend who is troubled with
rheumatism, insist on their giving this
remedy trial. You can do them no
greater favor as it is sure to give
prompt relief, and if they are a little
patient it will effect a cure. For sale

DINING "A GOVERNOR.
LITTLE THOMAS MARTIN AND GOV
ERNOR LEEDY.

Bread Cast Upon the Waters Returns
With Choice Accompaniment In.
teresting Story of the New Chief Exec.
utive Of the State Of Kansas.
Cast thy bread upon the waters, =
says the Bible, 'sfor thou shalt find it
after many days. =
The governor Of Kansas Governor
Leedy-followed this advice, and his
bread came back to him in thick slices,
nicely buttered and served with sundry
other dishes, which made up a frugal
but wholesome and appetizing meal. In
other words, an act of kindness he per-
formed to certain individual resulted
in his being invited to unique dinner,
which he himself declares that he will
ever treasure up as one Of the happiest
occasions in his life.
And who do you suppose that indi-
vidual was? Who do You suppose was
the giver Of this notable feast?
No less a person than Master Thomas
Martin, 7-year-old newsboy. And
here is the story: Two years ago, OF
when Tommy was 5-year- old toddler,
he began the work Of selling newspa-
pers in order to help support his moth
er, who is widow.
Tommy lives in the city Of Topeka,
which, as you know, is the capital Of
Kansas. When the legislature was in
session there, the members were always
eager to get the evening papers as soon
as they came out. So all the newsboys
congregated around the newspaper Of
fees to get copies as soon as they were
ready. The moment they were supplied
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1897-04-08


there were breakaway and race for
the statehouse. Now, all the newsboys
were older and bigger and had longer
and stronger legs than little Thomas
So he always came in breathless at the
end Of the line, to find that nearly all
supplied.
It happened one rainy afternoon that
Mr.. Leedy, who was then not govern
or, but a senator, was walking toward
the statehouse, when he saw the gath
ering Of boys, the sudden break and the
unequal race in which Tommy came out
a bad last He followed and overlook
the child just as he had reached the
statehouse. Thomas was out of breath,
and the other boys were out Of sight
"Where did the other boys go?' ask
ed the senator.
''They beat me-, !" said Thomas, with
a smile, for though beaten he could keep
up stout heart Don't you want to
buy paper?'
Eyes, I'll take paper, but what
made you let the boys run away from
you?''
"Well, guess my legs weren't long
enough" piped Thomas, still smiling.
"All right replied the senator
Nov, if you won't make any noise, I'll
take you up in the senate chamber, and
we'll see if we can't sell the rest of
your papers. That will make your legs
as long as the big boys legs. They can't
get in there"
Thank you, sir. +"
isn't this pretty bad day for you
to be out?''
"Oh, business man can't stop for
weather." cried Tiny Tom boldly.
Thomas readily disposed Of his papers
when he was ushered into the senate
chamber. Then he came round to where
Senator Leedy sat and thanked him
again for his kindness.
''Now, see here,'' said the senator,
eff you will be as quiet as you were to-
day and move about with as little noise,
I will see if I can't get You in every
day."
In fact, Mr.. Leedy made it his bust
ness to go around among his fellow SEN
ators and ask their consent to the new
arrangement. He explained that as
rule he would object to the admission of
newsboys into the senate chamber, but
as the other boys were all SO much big
ger than Thomas and all possessed legs
Of superior length the best way to
stretch Thomas legs to the right size
was to let him in every day if he prom
ised to go quietly about his business
of selling papers
He found no difficulty in winning
over all the senators. So he left pass
for Thomas with the doorkeeper, and
every afternoon the little lad appeared,
fresh and rosy, and found no difficulty
in disposing of his entire stock Of news
papers. Meanwhile the older lads had
to confne themselves, as formerly, to
the halls and Hobbies Of the statehouse.
Last summer Senator Leedy was
nominated for governor, and in the fall
he was elected. He took his seat on
Jan. /.
Both On the occasion OF his nomina-
ton and election one Of the first letters
of congratulation to reach him was
from little Tommy.
When, on the goth Of last December,
Mr.. Leedy came down to Topeka to
make arrangements for his inaugura-
ton, he was naturally the most sought
after man in the city. The outer room
Of his temporary Office was crowded

Our grandfathers were content to
travel in stage coaches, TO live in
cabins and receive a mail once a
week. We demand palace cars,
tasteful homes and daily communi-
cation with the world. 1t is the
rapid transit age the age of the
telegraph and telephone. A man
speaks to-day and the entire world
reads his words tomorrow morn
ing. There are but twenty-four
hours in the day, but forty-eight
hours are crowded into it.
We all know how we have adj
vanced materially. Do we realize
how we have advanced scientifi-
cally? More than in any other
manner. Indeed, it has been the
advancement In science which has
caused the advancement In mate
rial things. The discovery of steam
permitted the railroad and the
steamboat. The development in
electricity made possible the tele-
graph and the telephone. SO that
the development of the sciences
has been the real cause of all mod
ern advancement.
We will take for example, one
department of science, but the
most important department, one
which affects our very lives and
happiness. Formerly the treatment
of human ills was made a matter
of superstition, of incarnation, the
same as it IS by the medicine men
of the Indians to-day. Gradually
emerging from such blindness, it
was still a matter Of bigotry, of
folly. What people must have suf-
fered in those days can scarcely be
imagined. They were bled. they
were cupped, they were leeched,

WIND, RAIN AND HAIL.
One Of the Most Destructive Storms in
Years Visits the Upper Payette Val
ley. Many Orchards and Gardens
Suffer.

One Of the most destructive storms
that has visited this section in years oc-
cured last Monday afternoon aud whilr
the immediate vicinity Of town escaped
any damage the ranches along the foot
hil's from Freezeout hill to the head Of
the valley suffered considerably from the
hail. A very heavy rain began falling
here between 3 and o'clock. with
little fine hail aud heavy wiud but no
damage was done nearer than a mile
east Of town.
The storm Travelled from southeast to
northwest and WAS from one half TO one
mile in width. at J. r. Williams place
near Freezeout hill the fruit crops We're
nearly DESTROYED and the gardens and
field crops were badly damaged. Harry
rimmons who lives on the Timer ranch
near Williams says that the hail at his
place was the size of walnuis and that
an hour after the storm was over wag-
on load Of ice was piled against the side
Of hls house. Alex WOmack reports his
orchard and garden badly damaged and
at ". l.. Fuller's place across the river
about one half the fruit was knocked
OF. a force If men and teams were "a
work at the head Of the Last Chance
ditch aud they all report terrific storm
at that place. The hail there was ai
large as hens eggs and the men, VIII,
were obliged to stay with their teams
were pretty well bruised by the chnnkl
of ice. The river raised considerably
in the evening but the raise was of shor
duration which showed that the storm
was only local in its extent. Parte
who came from Caldwell and Boise II
the evening reported but little rain il
either direction.
