poor boys who rose to seat in con-
gress or the presidential chair by means
of their decision of character. They
were ambitious and had the will TO
carry out that ambition. But not
everyone who is ambitious succeeds,
although this quality is very important
No matter how ambitious a person may
be, he will not succeed unless he stands
firm against the advice, "Simon says
wiggle waggle."
Often it has been said that the need
of the hour brings forth a master, and
never is this seen more plainly than in
the time of war. There may be good
generals in the army, but still there
may not be a leader. Then from the
ranks some person may rise from a
place of insignilcance to a station Of
great responsibility-the genius of the
hour; but without the decision of char
acter necessary to aid and strengthen
that genius, he would never reach his
post of honor.
Napoleon was insignificant III size
but he possessed a decision of character
that was lacking in many man of
larger frame. Wherever you find great
achievements you will find that some
one possessing great decision of char
acter had been behind them.
We hear many young people of the
present day complaining that they have
not the opportunities to rise because
they are poor. Poverty is unComfOrta-
bic, but it furnishes the very discipline
that will show them what they can ac-
complish, and teaches the danger of
obeying 'Simon says wiggle- waggle."
Many bright, we'll educated people
make total failures of their lives be-
cause they lack the decision of charac-
ter necessary to surmount the obstacles
that arise in every persons pathway.
They grew discouraged and instead of
I surrounding the difficulties, try to get
around them by changing off on some
thing else that is $50 much easier"
They listen and are lead to "wiggle
waggle."
Women complain that many doors
are shut in their faces, but if they have
the decision of character to stick to
what is open to them, even if they do
not become famous themselves, they
may live to see their children honOred,
for it has been truly said that,
1.-THE hand that rocks the cradle,
| ''IS the hand that rules the wOrld.'
Many an eminent man has possessed
noble mother, endowed with decision
of character.
Water seeks its own level, and so do
men, but if they have the will there is
always a way. While nature aids a
man great deal, he is what he is only
by constant effort.
When we read the lives of great men

Our baby has been continually troub
led with collie and cholera infantum
since his birth, and all that we could do
for him did not seem to give more than
temporary relief, until we tried Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and diarrhoea

has not been troubled. We want to
give you this testimonial as an evidence
of Our gratitude, not that you need it

The Fruit Growers Association have
been notified through Z. P. Shelby that
a special rate of ST. per hundred has
been granted. The rate to Denver will
hereafter be Is cents, Missouri, points
80 cents, Chicago and st. Louis 81, a
reduction of $50 car to Denver, 800
to Missouri river points and $50 to st.
Louis and Chicago. In consequence of
the present favorable rate it is estimat-
ed that this section of Idaho will get
rid of nearly every surplus pound of
fruit produced.
It was rumored this week that a
party of Denver Capitalists were in
town negotiating with Jim Davis for
the purchase of some placer mines
owned by that gentleman known as
the Davis Inland. Later it was report
ed that deal had been made by pay
ing Mr.. Davis $4,000 for the property.
The claim is very rich in gold but of SO
fine character that very little has
been saved heretofore. The new own
ers will endeavor to overcome this
difficulty by the use of improved meth
DDS and machinery.
Persons troubled with diarThoea Will
be interested in the experience of Mr.
w. M. Bush, clerk of hotel Dorrance
Providence, r. l. He says: "For sew
eral years l have been almost a con
slant sufferer from diarrnoea, the fire..
quent attacks completely prostrating
me and rendering me unfit for my du.
ties at this hotel. About two years
ago travelling salesman kindly gave
me a small bottle of Chamberlain
Collie Cholera and diarrhoea remedy
Much to my surprise and delight its
effects were immediate. Whenever
felt symptoms of the disease l would
fortify myself against the attack with
a few doses of this valuable remedy
The result has been very satisfactory
and almost complete relief from the
affection" For sale by all druggists.

Footprints in the sands Of Time"
When we were on the verge of the
present war with Spain, President Nc
Kinley showed that INDIGESTION of char.
acter was not one of his failings. The
people were shouting, Remember the
Maine! both houses of Congress were
for war, and Mckinley received much
abuse for his seeming dillatoriness.
He, however, had determined on his
policy, and unmoved by the entreat-
les of those around him, quietly went
on his way. But when the time came
to act, the nation found he would de-
fend her honor. During this period of
apparent inaction, he had been quietly
preparing us for the struggle. With
such a chief at our head, we will show
Spain, or any nation that tries to inter
fere, that what we have demanded we
will have, and we will not obey the call
"Simon says wiggle- waggle."
The lives of many brilliant men and
women have been ruined by listing to
the call of Simon in the guise of the
forms and faces of their friends.
AS of old Eve tempted Adam, so at
the present time are we tempted by the
voices and opinions of others. 1t is
hard to stand firm when some thought
contrary to our own is presented in a
striking way, and we find many people
advocates of that opinion; for then our
own thoughts suddenly seem insignifi-
cant. But nobody ever attains to emil
nence if he obeys the call of Simon to
"wiggle. waggle."
Few realize the possibilities residing
in the human will. The possession or
the lack of it marks the difference in
people. Many families who are not
talented but who possess decision of
character, are respected on account of
their frmness. Other families who are
talented may be without influence ow-
ing to their indecision of character.
We have listened to arguments from
brilliant men and they have failed to
make an impression on us, owing to the
lack of decision in the speaker. Then
again, we listened to a man who does
not possess great talent, but whose
arguments make profound impress
sion owing to his having the decision
of character to carry out the devices, of
his intellect, for
''He who is firm in will moulds the
world to himself"
Because person is quiet and un-
demonstratiye it does not follow that
he is lacking in decision of character
The most masterful men are generally
quiet.
We esteem and admire the statesmen
of our country, many of whom were

Individual Odors.

Every human being has a specific
odor of his own, according to A. Bethe
In the Archiv der Gesammten Physiolo-
gle, by which he can be recognized not
merely by dogs but by persons with SEN
sitive organs of smell. The case is men,
toned of a man who blindfolded could
pick out each individual in a company
of 30 by his odor.
The smell is not born with Us, but
develops gradually till the age of puber-
ty, after which it remains unchanged.
Members of a family have a kind Of
common oder, which persists even when
they have lived apart for a long time.

GLADSTONE AS A CHEMIST.
An Incident In the Grand Old Mans Ca
reer In the Commons.

An Incident In the Grand Old Mans Ca
reer In the Commons.
If Mr.. Gladstone seldom indulged in
sarcasm. It was not because he lacked
the gift-for he possessed it in high
degree-but because he forbore to use
it. To hurt an opponents feelings gave
him pain and when he did it uninthn-
tionally he would sometimes cross the
floor of the house, and, sitting for a few
moments by the side Of the man whom
he had just demolished, say something
to assuage the wound. One Of his most
persistent, but never i'll natured, critics
was the late Sir John Pope Hennessy,
who told me the following story to IL
lustrate this generous trait in Mr.. Glad
stones character.
Sir John prided himself on his knowl-
edge Of chemistry, and in one of the
debates on the commercial treaty with
France he made speech exposing, as
he believed, a serious chemical blunder
in the treaty. Mr.. Gladstone followed,
land soon turned me inside out in the
most amusing manner" " said Hennessy
in relating the story, proving, as if he
had been a chemist by profession, that
it was l who had blundered egregious-
ly."
Having thus disposed of his critic,
Mr.. Gladstone went and sat by him for
a moment Il hope you don't feel hurt,
Mr.. Hennessy." he said. "Your speech
was ingenious, and it may console you
to know that the emperor Of the French
made precisely the same .objection that
you have made. The fact is, both you
and he know good deal about chem
istry, but not enough 70 keep you from
going astray." - ~" -
