Remember that he who gOeth to ac-
complish great things for himself or
for the world, needs not to be known to
be weak and immoral in order to lose
his power of accomplishment; a wrong
thing done need have no witnesses in
order to undo man. Yielding to
darling sin takes away the ability to
be all you might be; not because your
friends know you to be a doer of evil,
but because you know yourself to be
SO, and the traitor within the citadel of
your honor and purpose does not re-
main undiscovered, for the traitor is
the professed defender.
Remember that I can safely go one
step further and assert to you who
think-may your number multiply-a
still more noteworthy thing about
yielding to evil. The thought of wrong,
cherished as a pleasant thing, is enough
to unnerve you without waiting for the
deed to be done. Cardinal Newman
says very wisely and very beautifully:
But he who lets his thoughts run on
In soft luxurious flow,
FaintS when hard service must be done
And shrinkS at every foe.
The thought is father to the deed.
We. talk of dissipation for the body;
there is a dissipation of the mind, and
that is found in letting the thoughts run
unchecked, particularly if they are of
an unclean character.
Remember IN following that last
thought that there is a dissipation of
the mind, even apart from filthy mus
ings; it is found in being insufficiently
severe with yourself Remember also
that there may even be spiritual dissi-
patton, when, In the higher regions of
thought that affect mems souls and fu-
ture destinies, you let your spiritual
desires run riot until all who fail to be-
lieve with you are believed to be in the
wrong Remember too the common
fault of bodily dissipation. I beg of
you to remember as sensible beings that
the powers you in your overfiowing
youth regard as solely given for your
pleasure, are merely an inheritance
from your parents to be passed on
spotless and undefiled to your children.
Remember that a spider dipped in
ink can make scrawls across paper,
that a dog can scratch earth, that
monkey can daub paint, but that the
intelligence of a human being is needed
to gain meaning and profit and fame
from any or all of these acts. Your
sheep is a follower Of instincts equally
as much when mature as it was when
it frisked it's restless tail and fled af-
frightened from moving objects. Neith-
er honor nor dishonor attaches to it's
life, save that it has been all it could
be. But you are a man; born a Great
ure Of instinct yet capable of becoming
a creature of thought, whose use Of life
has within it the possibilities of shame
or of esteem If you merely follow
your instincts, you are less worthy than
an animal, for it has done all it could
and you have not. Be a man dear fell
low, and venerate yourself: then no
matter how humble your lot in life, you
will be a worthy comrade of those who
through the patient ages have led us
away from mere animalism

Witness said to the City Attorney that
he did not file the order for Hulrs wages
before suing for the amount of the note
because the railroad company might
have discharged Hull if the order had
been filed. He preferred to collect the
money in another way. if possible.
Miss Heisen testified that she is her
fathers clerk. The note and two orders
were signed by Hull and J. F. Davis at
the time they got the money.
Last August Hull called on her and
said he hoped Mr.. Heisen would not
send in the order to collect his wages,
and if so he would call in on payday
and pay the note. Witness suggested that
he go and see ]. G. Davis and straighten
the matter out, but he said he could do
nothing with Davis.
Witness said she explained to Hull
about the blank orders as her father in
sisted on the right to collect the money
on any months wages.
Eugene Wachhorst, Chief Deputy
County Clerk, was called as an expert
on handwriting. He had been witness
in previous cases, and was allowed to
testify.
He examined various papers bearing
HulPs signature, also the disputed one,
and gave it as his opinion that they
were all signed by the same person. He
also expressed the opinion that the sig
natures of J. F. Davis on the note and
on the order were the same though they
varied slightly.
This closed the testimony, and after
hearing arguments by City Attorney
Brown and Martin Devine, Judge Davis
discharged Mr.. Heisen.

She Believes in
Department
Stores.

A customer said in our store the
past week:
Il see that you keep tin foot
tubs. | did not know that. What
is your price?'
The salesman pointed to the
plain figures on the price ticket
As cents. Then the woman said,
indignantly:
"Why, I bought one elsewhere,
! only few minutes ago, and paid
IS cents. 1t is just like yours. |
am going back to that store for my
money. But what really wanted
when | started out, was a tub Of
enameled steel, and not of tin. |
was told at several stores that they
are not made, and that to get one
to order from the East would mean
long delay and an extra price. -
Again the salesman surprised
her. He showed an enameled
steel tub-the very thing she
wanted, and only IS cents. There
upon the woman left the house,
and soon, returned with the IS
cents that she had paid for 45c
tin tub.
Now, she is in happy possession
Of the long-sought-for steel tub, and
probably stronger advocate than
ever of department stores and the
advantages they offer in assort-
ments, as we'll as in prices.

Curtis said he intended to ask per-
mission to straw that portion of the
road as soon as straw is available, as
it will not be possible to sprinkle the
road this year.
Mr.. Alsipl presented a petition from
the residents of Fair Oaks for the APP
pointemnt Of a Poundmaster for that
township and was informed that here
was already a Poundmaster named
Blower for the township, and no other
could be appointed, but the residents
of Fair Oaks might induce the Pound
master to appoint a deputy for that
part of the township.
Morrison thought the matter OF
sprinkling had better be postponed until
the board has inspected the roads and
decided which needed it worst, and
should be taken first He was op-
posed to the contract system of paying
by the month. When the windmills
get out of order the contractors sit at
home and their pay goes on all the
sprinkling, he said, who puts in more
same. There is not a man who is
than half his time on the road.
District Attorney Ryan, to whom the
horticultural bill had been referred,
said, in response to an inquiry by Nor
rison, that there seemed to be no pen
atty provided in the law for not ap-
pointing the board, and if the Supervis-
ors wished to test the constitutionality
of the law by refusing to appoint, it
could do so and anyone who wished
could mandamus it.
Curtis moved that Expert w. E. Os-
borne be appointed at an expense not
to exceed $50, to segregate the district
and general funds. Carried.
Mclaughlin moved that the Commis-
sioners in the two country districts be
instructed to have such roads as lead
to the city and are graveled or maced-
amized sprinkled until further orders.
The motion was carried and the board
adjourned till the 18th inst.

he can do it now. 1t is probable
that there never has been a time

arguments of n party mas been so

the contentious of the opposing
party so utterly false IS have tie
platforms of the republican and
democratic parties respectively of

right and we proved it. They were
wrong and they must admit it.
