Until the discovery of deposits of
lime in the Calico mountains borax

forward the industry was transform
ed into proposition akin to that of
quartz mining.

Gustav Freytag, decided shortly be-
fore his death that the trouble with
Germany was that through the death
of Kaiser Frederick the generation
that had grown up with him was de-
prived of the realization of it's ideas
in favor of the younger generation
represented by the present emperor.

SAVED HIS CAREER.
John Sherman's Good Advice to Dis
 pirited Young Man,

John Sherman's Good Advice to a Dis
 pirited Young Man.
 Ten years ago, when the late John Sherman was secretary of state, a young man, the son of one of Sher- mans schoolmates, wrote to him Tor assistance He said that he had fallen so low in life that there was no place for him but the gutter; this existence had become a burden, and that he wanted to die. To-day this same young man IS a prosperous merchant in New York city. He says that his position is due to the advice given him by John sherman, in answer to his letter. Sue cess was given permission to publish this letter, which the owner guards more carefully than all his other pos sessions. MT. sherman wrote:-
 You say that your life has been fail ure, and that you are thirty years old and ready to die. You say that you cannot find work, and that you see no hope in life. You say that your friends do not care to speak to you now.
 Let me tell you that you have reached that point in life when man must see the very best prospects for his future career You, at thirty, stand on the bridge that divides youth and man. hood The one is dying, perhaps, but the other will soon burst young and hopeful from the ashes, and you will find in yourself a new being--a man. Do not let your discontent kill this new. life before it is born
 Unless you are physically deformed, go to work. Go to work at an honest Wlrk, if it only brings you dollar a day, Then learn to live within that dollar. Pay no more than ten cents for meal and twenty cents for bed and save as much of the balance as you

OBITUA BY NOTES.
John wiIlts Clark of Covington, IA

John Willis Clark of CovingtOn, Ky.
 With sadness we record the death of
 another of Connecticut's loyal sons-a man of sterling qualities but of simple { and transformations habits and manners, who through industry and enterprise l had acquired much property, yet ever
 ranked himself among the poor and humble in life
 John Willis Clark, the subject of this notice, died at his home in Covington, ! Ky, on Monday, December 3. MT. l Clark was a son of Daniel and Wealthy A. Clark, and was born at the old
 homestead on Little City hill, in the western part of the town of Haddam, June 4, 1S2S Here and in the vicinity he passed the early years of his life. Before he was twenty years old he started out in the great outside world to seek his fortune. For time he was engaged in selling books in Connecti- cut, Ohio and other states. After a few years he located at Cincinnati and be- came banker, which business he fol- lowed with success until the close of the Civil war. In early life he commenced to invest in western lands, and when the territories of Kansas and Nebraska were opened for settlement, before there were any facilities for travel, through dangers and hardships he wan- dered over the rolling prairies and To- | cated what are now some of the most productive and beautiful farms on their eastern borders. Many a new town or village will long feel the inn press of his liberal hand in aid of erect ing schoolhouses, churches and court houses, which to him were the expon- ents of all intelligent, law-abidiug and moral communities.
 Before the breaking out of the Civil war he made his home on the beautiful hills of West Covington, in Kentucky, overlooking the city of Cincinnati. In the presidential election of 1860 he cast the only vote that was boiled in the place for Abraham Lincoln. During the war, when Kentucky hung in the balance, he was one of the few loyal, outspoken union men of the town who gave time, effort and money for the cause of freedom.
 MT. Clark was man of a warm and sympathetic heart and had a great af- |
 
 native hills During the fifty years and l more that have elapsed since he went | out from his fathers house, amid all his business and family cares, he al- | ways took time to make his annual | visit to the old homestead and to his sisters living in the east. Fifty-one | times has he made the journey to re- new the associations of his early youth. The last visit was made with his | daughter in June, 1899, since which time he had been in feeble health.
 He leaves a widow, four daughters and five sons; a brother in West Gov ington, Ky, and one in Vandalia. All,; five sisters: Mrs E. M Herrick Mrs | c. S. Bushnell Mrs. J. T. Hathaway, of ! New Haven; Mrs J. c. Frobisher of New York; Mrs, F. L. Burr of Rocky Hill, to deeply mourn his loss,

can, and with the same intensity as
 you would save your mothers life.
 Make the most of your appearance. Do
 not dress gaudily, but cleanly. Aban-
 don liquor as you would abandon pes tilence, for liquor is the curse that
 wrecks more lives than all the horrors
 of the world combined.
 If you are man of brains, as your letter leads me to believe you are, wait until you are in condition to seek your level, and then seek it with cour- age and tenacity. It may take time to reach it; it may take years, but you will surely reach is,--you will turn from the working man into the business man, or the professional man, with so much casa that you will marvel at it. But have one ideal and aim for it. No ship ever reached it's port by sailing for a dozen other ports at the same time.
 Be contented, for without content ment there is no love or friendship, and without those blessings life is, indeed, a hopeless case. Learn to love your books, for there is pleasure, instruction and friends in books. Go to church, for the church helps to ease the pains of lire. But never be hypocr1te. If you cannot believe in God, believe in your honor. Listen to music whenever you can, for music charms the mind, and fills man with lofty ideals
 "Cheer up! Never want to die. Why, am twice your age, and over, and do not want to die Get out into the world. Work, eat, sleep, read and talk about the great events of the day even if you are forced to go among laborers Take the first honest work you get, and then be steady, patient, industrious saving, kind, polite, studious, temper ate, ambitious, gentle, loving, strong, honest, courageous and contented.
 Be all these, and when thirty years more have passed away, just notice how young and beautiful the world is, and how young and happy you are!"
