Present-Day Thoughts.
BY MEMO"

For Young Men Again.-It is a real
pleasure to see the wild glee of
young dog; twisting himself sideways
with the vigor of his delighted tail
and so hurried for time to express
himself that he cannot even bark
straight. He actually cheers up
weary folk who look at him for his
joy is harmless and the onlooker well
knows that the exercise is strengthen
ing him for the days of dull-dog-dom
that are bound to stretch ahead be-
fore him some day.
That is about the attitude of sensi-
BILE people toward you young fellows
as you swing out into exercise that
critically viewed, looks almost ridicu-
lious. Look at yourself in your run
ming trunks and if you do not sudden
ly feel that you are a scarecrow, | am
mistaken. But it is alright. Do
your running and your boxing and
your wrestling and your rough-and-
tumble games, for it is better to use
your surplus strength that way than
to waste it in weakening vices. You
are troubled, if you are in health,
with too much vitality to be anything
besides restless and it does good to
the hearts OF those who love you and
envy your youth and its hey day path,
TO see you choose the better part,
which, for a young man, is certainly
not inactivity. Nature has you in
hand and though you are unconsci-
Gus of it, she is busy impelling you to
do the things that tend to reserve
of power. The galloping times are
going to end one day, and then many
a dull and weary mile in harness for
whose heavy pulling the years of
wholesome fun and exercise have pre-
pared you.

The farmers of this community are
done hauling lime and limestone for
this year, and some of them are now
engaged in hauling ties and mine
props to Oakland. Everything seems
to be fourishing, but of course we
cannot come up to some of the adioin-
ing communities as they have the
advantage over us in that they have
a general manager whose headquar-
ters is at the thriving little town of
Gortner. Business seems to be on
the boom there, as we understand p.
p. Gortner's business has increased (?)
almost one half since this great bust
ness man and financier has been
conducting affairs for him, and then
we might add, too, the elevating in
fluence he has over his associates, and
especially the boys who are apt to
learn of and pattern after a man of
such great moral power. We might
add that the great man of whom we
speak is none other than the CORES
pondent for the Garrett Journal, who
in his article in reference to the Sun
nyside correspondent for The REPUB-
LICAN reminds us of the young and
unframed coon dog which was bark
ing up the wrong tree. We are in
formed that it is not us four and no
more; low we imagine we see that
there are only three.

The Sabbath in the Home.


The Sabbath should be a marked
day in the home day to be ahtici-
pated with pleasure; a day quite IRE
to bring the choicest blessings d 5he
week.
Conversation takes new dbl, son
so far as possible, the labors ants, psres
of the week are put out ofsithe
thoughts, and we talk about the good
things that belong in the day.
We are to take time to look over
the busy days of the week gone( and
see how we'll we have filled them;
what has been the ruling purpose;
how much of good have we gained;
what of joy and helpfulness have we
given to the lives of those who have
journeyed with us; what success have
we had in the great work of character
building. five have lived well during
the week, we are prepared to receive
the good which the day comes to bear
to us.
Rest and refreshing for bodyand
mind should come with the Sabbath
to all in the home. But thesekNsss4o
found either in too much sleep or in
idleness. There the right kind of
conversation will be helpful profita-
BILE reading will be found an impor-
tant aid; worship, music and good
words for others will be found indis-
pensable factors.
The best thoughts should fill the
home all through the Sabbath Love
should abound and all hearts be more
closely united in fellowship and in the
earnest efforts to minister to the
greater happiness and good of the
whole family circle.
The aim should be to make the
Sabbath the best and happiest day of
all the week. In after years when
everything has changed how the soul
will feast itself with the long ago joys
in the dear old home, that memory
will ever treasure among the best
gifts of life.
'Tis not alone in temples,
At stated hours for prayer,
That we render pleasing service
We may worship anywhere.
All usefulness and all comfort may
be prevented by an unkind, sour,
grabbed temper of mind-a mind that
can bear with no difference of opin-
ion or temperament. A spirit of fault
finding, an unsatisfed temper, con-
slant irritability, little inequalities in
the look, the temper or the manner;
a brow cloudy and dissatisfied will
more than neutralize all the good you
can do and render life anything but
a blessing.-A Barnes.
Go bury thy sorrow,
Let others be bleSt,
Go, give them the sunshine,
And tell God the rest.-Anon.

When you come to think of it, there
is a strangeness if the faithfulness of
a watch dog 1t is a weird idea, that
though the master may be absent,
the dog in charge of affairs instead of
becoming less vigilant grows more so.
1t is not to be explained on the sup
position that he is alert because he is
paid for it by scraps that fall from
his masters table. 1t is deeper than
stomach love-though we mockingly
say the way to a dogs heart is through
his stomach. 1t glows warm even
when the chills of frost cover the
faithful creature and he lies out there
under the night, ready either to greet
his master with a CHEEKY wag, or to
drive the trespasser off to the public
road where no man trespasses, and
whose rights even fierce dogs seem to
understand.
Equally strange and equally esti-
mable is the influence that makes a
man faithful to his trust, though no
mans eye be upon him. 1t is an out
rage upon human nature to explain
every worthy human action as hav-
ing selfish origin.
Something in the heart of man
rests upon the deepest principles of
| the world of morals and keeps him
steadily plodding at a task. How
grand that there should be such an
| impulse within us! For it would
make life seem quite too petty to live,
| if we were forever measuring our
deeds so that they exactly balanced
another mans doles. Some poet eX-
presses the thought like this, though
| cannot confirm the quotation
High heavens disregards the store
OF nicely balanced less or more"
Dogs and men, from an untraceable
source, get satisfaction in doing a
thing because it is right, even though
no approving voice sounds out to
praise the right when it is done. Big
souled men, mark you, are not look
ing for approval here, there and you.
They know what they ought to do,

Master doggy has hard time learn
ing all he ought to know, and some of
his knowledge comes along painful
ways. But if he takes the fat and
the lean of life in due proportion and
without too much bowling at the dis
cords you will see him grow into a
sedate. well-trained beast who knows
well what he Is here for, and whose
honest head will receive many an adj
miring pat from gentle women who
trust his guardianship. And those
pats do not ia any way upset the bal
ance of the good faithful fellow; for at
the hour of duty he goes quietly to
his post again.
This will not be very much unlike
you, you gain a love for duty-doing
as you emerge from irresponsible pup
pydom into clean manhood. 1t is the
emerging time that is hard, for you
have to learn new standards of CON
duct and some pretty hard knocks
are needed at times to make you fol-
low to heel of duty. But let me tell
you that the clearer the vision you
have of duty and the clearer the way
you tread the more you will be ad-
mired of women of the nObler sort.
1t is worth much to you to be with
good women, and their praise need
not upset you; for it will not be of
the gushing, gurgling, bumble-bee
buzzing, sentimental kind that turns
a man away from purpose-but it
will be an evidence of supreme trust
in a mans character that will make
you go out into the world afterwards
feeling more than ever a man, be-
cause the sanctity of implicit conf
dence rests upon you as thing
worth while being worthy of.

is no necessity OF a High School, but
those who have children feel the need
Of it. No one who will go and see the
High School in winter will doubt that
there should be new one.
Trustee Dolan was astonished that
the Mayor, after urging the submission
of the ordinance, should now turn
around and veto it. He would like to
have citizens in the eastern part Of the
city who were present tell of the need
of water. He moved the veto be over
| ridden and was opposed to delay
Trustee Brown said the people of the
city are crying for water and cannot
get enough for their needs The High
| School, too. had been asked for for
years and was greatly needed. He
moved that the ordinance be passed
over the veto.
Trustee Douglas warned the board
that the mains on l street are not safe,
as they had to be banded in order to
hold them together. The people need
water in the mains throughout the city.
Trustee Devine argued that if the
building of mains be postponed, the
iron trust may be broken and iron low
er than it is at present. Again, the
system of mains is large enough to ac-
| comnlOdate city as large as this will
be in fifty years. In relation to the
High School, he had while in San
Francisco, conferred on the plans of the
proposed building with competent me-
chanics at the Builders Exchange and
| they had said it could not be built ON
those plans under $4,000, at the very
lowest estimate. A prominent con-
tractor in this city had told him that it
would cost 100000. He proposed to
protect the people.
In response to remark by p. S.
Driver as to- the power Of the board to
pass the ordinance over the Mayors
veto, Corporation Counsel Devine was
asked concerning it and said the char
ter provided regarding bond elections,
that the ordinance must be passed by
two-thfrdS of the board, with the con-
sent of the Executive. He did not
want, without further consideration, to
say definitely that the board could not
pass it over the veto, but advised de-
lay in action, in order to examine the
question.
Trustee Tebbets said it was not more
than six months since the city came
near losing the most important indus
try in the city by the confagration at
the railroad shops and the company
has asked for increased water mains.
He was astonished to hear the veto
read. For years also the Trustees have
been asked TO build a High School. The
children in winter have to cross the
street in all sorts Of weather and many
have suffered and some have GHed Of
pneumonia. He would vote to pass
the ordinance over the veto.
The ordinance was passed over the
veto. all but Devine voting aye and the
President declared it carried.
On motion of Trustee Kent the Cor
poration Counsel was requested to give
his opinion next week on the legality
of the boards action.
Corporation Counsel Devine said that
if, by any possibility his opinion should
be that the boards action is legal, it
would be necessary to pass the second
ordinance next week, SO it must be
ready for passage.
Trustee Devine said that Mr.. Dew
lin, when Corporation Counsel, gave a
similar opinion in Mayor Steinman's
| time and the board did not try to con-
traVene the veto.
