Great Honor 10 HoAored Dead.

General Manager Gilham, of the Kan
sas City and Gulf railroad. died on the
10th of May, and the directors OF his
road paid him the greatest tribute on
his funeral day ever paid to railroad
Official.
They issued a general order that not
wheel OF their rolling stock, nor in
their machine shops, should move dur
Ing the hour OF his funeral services.
And sure enough when the hour
came every train stood still and all the
machinery OF the shops ceased to hum.
What an honor, when all trains on u
road Of 1850 miles stood still and held
their breath In respect to the dead,
and when all the men in the shops stop.
ped the blow of the forges and the hum
and whirl OF the machinery to stand
with bowed heads and In silence be-
cause Of the death OF the man beloved,
What greater honor could man ask
for at the hands OF those whom he was
serving.

There are times when q young man
starting In life, is possessed OF feeling
Of bitterness against successful men, be-
cause they do not manifest more ae-
tive interest In helping young men.
As the young man grows older, he be-
gins to understand this growth OF con-
servatism. He finds that after all, it is
best that Young men meet and conquer
obstacles. and become thoroughly self
reliant, and he also finds many young
men repay assistance by ingratitude,
which leaves a scar and burns. The
young man who stings the hand that
fed him, because of fancied wrong, or
that he has not been fed enough, not
only blasts his own chances for the fu-
ture, but creates in his benefactors a
bitterness which is visited upon more
worthy applicants for confidence that
may follow. The poison of ingratitude
makes many hard unyielding heart.
Gratitude-what a virtue and an accom-
plishment Ii is after all. To be able to
appreciate what is done for you, Is one
OF the surest stepping stones to success.

To the young men annually making
their entrance into active life, with
great ambition, high hope and conscious
capacities, the prospects are in ninety
nine times out OF IA hundred most per
picking. They see every avenue 20
prosperity ,hronged with their super
iors, both in social advantages, and In
the possession of all the elements and
conditions OF success. Every post is
occupied. Every Office Is tilled. Every
path is crowded. Where shall they
find room?
1t is related OF Mr.. Webster, that
when young lawyer suggested to him
that the profession TO which be had de-
voted himself WAS over crowded, the
great man replied: Young man, there
ia always room enough ut the top But
whether you reach that point or remain
at the bottom OF the ladder depends
largely upon the way In which you en-
ploy the spare moments of your time.
Never WAS a wiser or more suggestive
word said than these of Webster,s.
There Is undoubtedly always room
enough where excellence lives. The
great mistake that young men make Is
In idly waiting their rchance.-Eagle-

FLOWERS ON THE GRAVES.
Tuesday. Hundreds Visited
the Cemetery.

Decoration Day was appropriately
and npressively observed at Blackfoot.
At an early hour In the afternoon the
district court room OF the court house
building was crowded to oyerfiowing,
and the literary and musical program
rendered was most pleasing and we'll
suited to the occasion.
The sentiment OF the patriotic songs,
the eloquent oration and the recitations
revived the fires Of love for our dead
and brought vividly to life again the
memory Of those resting quietly In the
honored graves and waiting the judg-
meut day." After these exercises hun
dreds visited the cemetery and made
beautiful the graves with frzgran,
flowers.
Decoration Day makes additional de-
mands upon us and adds to our sad and
solemn duty every year. This year
there we're loved ones far away across
the ever rolling waters Of the Pacii1
ocean to be remembered, graves which
we may never see that called for tear
OF love and affection. May our sympa
thy, love and affection grow from veal
TO year as these new demands are mads
upon us In the discharge OF our patriot,

Plants That Seem 10 Reason.

'sDo plants think?" said St. Mary
planter. Haze they powers of rea'
son or any way OF determining what
is going on around them? The ques-
tons seem rather fantastic, l admit,
but they are prompted by some very
curious observations made at my home
only few weeks ago.
"My daughter, who is very fond Of
flowers, has morning glory vine
growing in box on her windo ledge.
While watering it recently she no.
tlced a delicate tendriI reaching ont
toward nail in the side casing. She
marked the position of the tendril in
pencil on The wood, and then shifted
the nail about au inch lower. Next
day the little feeler hat! detected it
self very noticeably, ami was again
heading for the nail. The marking
and shifting were repeated fonr or
five times, always with the same re-
suits, and finally one night the ten
drill, which had grown considerably,
managed TO reach the coveted sup
port, and We found it coiled tightly
around it. Meanwhile another bunch
OF tendrils had been making for Il
hook that was formerly used for q
thermometer. Just before it reached
its destination my daughter strung a
cord across the window sash directly
above. 1t Was choice, then, be-
tween tbe Old love and the new. and
as a morning glory always seems to
prefer a cord to anything else, it
wasn't long in making up its mind.
In a very few hours the pale, crisp
little tendriIs-which, by the way,
convey surprising suggestion Of
human fngers-had commenced to lift
toward the twiue. Next dag they
reached it, and took such firm grip
that 7 don't believe they possibly
could have been disengagel without
breaking the fibre. Scientists are NJ
doubt familiar with such phenomena,
and, if so, I would he very glad to
learn whether they have formulated a
theory On the subject. 70 me it seems
simply inezplicable. New Orleans

pliability. Water is played OH them

in the trough is finished the hides Are
