1t is curious how conviction tends
to become deep and strong by reason
OF the fact that it is entertained. 1t
seems to possess the power of the seed
to send out shoots and become rooted
in the mind. and ultimately to yield
to its fruitage. Indeed, except for those
rare natures that have the power on
the instant of coming to the firmest
decision, the element of time is an i'm
portant factor in the strength of our
convictions. While we are completely
occupied in other things our beliefs
and decisions are unconsciously grow
ing, and we find, perhaps to our sur
prise, that the opinion of a month or
two ago has become controlling con-
viction. Parents are often discouraged
because noble ideas appear to arouse
90 little response in the inner lives of
their children. But there is no reason
for encouragement. If they will recall

their own cha. acters, they will have
IN Astounding faith in the gradual
deepening of convictions through the
processes Of life. The good seed that
falls on good ground needs only to be
let alone to produce a good harvest.

Two Completely Differed state Gov

Frankfort, Ky. March 1.-Two state
governments completely differed and
each claiming to be the regular and
legal officials, are now in Frankfort,
and will remain here, each claiming the
right to administer the affairs of the
state until the question is adjusted in
the courts. AS anticipated, the banks
refuse to recognize either of the con-
tending factions, and. as q result, both
are without money and the state funds
are as securely tied up as they could
be. Legislators, county. as we'll as
state officials, and all kinds of con-
tractors with the state will have to
wait until somebody is authorized by
a decision of the court to pay them, and
the state will have to wait on what is
due it until the courts say who is au-
thorizcd to receive it. The Demo-
cratic state officers Lave opened offices
in the Capitol hotsl. The charitable
and penal state institutions are among
the sufferers.

From recently published letters of
Sir Alfred Miner it seems that on Nov.
80 of last year he wrote to Mr.. Cham
berlain about ''the colossal ornaments
OF the TransvaaI' and described the
Boer republic as "a huge arsenal" The
warning came too late and the world,
as consequence, has seen during the
closing year of the century two little
republics successfully confronting the
greatest empire of modern times. The
future historian of the Transvaal war
will have some interesting materials
at hand when he comes to narrate this
struggle almost without parallel in
history.
