Behind his frank manner there

and so fiercely did this flame burn
within him that it gave him no

and worked for it by day.
He was poor. How could he get
rich so that he could put his plans
into execution? This was the
thought that troubled him; the
difficulty that must first be sur
mounted. He pondered long and
earnestly. He planned and schemed
and toiled and burned the mid
night oil. His eyes blazed with
fcverish impatience and his face
grew pale and gaunt.
Year after year he toiled and
seemed no nearer the goal. when

He toiled on year after year.
He grew no richer. Opportunities
came for him to reap rich financial
rewards, but when he studied them
he found they were at the expense
of some one else and he passed
them by. All through life the hope
burned within him that his great
ambition would yet be realized.
Each new opportunity to win fame
and power was greeted with eager
enthusiasm, only to leave him dis
appointed in the end.
On he toiled until his back was
bent and his knees were stiff with
age. He grew weary and sick at
heart-so weary and tired that he
had no place in his mind even for
bitterness Still he toiled and
hoped till the infirmities of age
laid him low. and he took to his
last bed.

"a disappointment to myself and
friends, and / am weary of life"
He sank to sleep with sigh of
patient resignation. When he
awoke he lay beneath a spreading
tree. and the air was filled with a
balmy perfume and the sky was
beautifully colored. He looked
around and far off to the right at
the foot of blue-clad hills nestled
what seemed beautiful city of
white and gold. with spacious ave
nucs and faultless domcs lie rose
to his feet in wonder. and as he
did so. he noticed seated short
distance from him-a youth.
His features were indiscribably
fair OF the kind that seemed to
blend the purity of childhood, the
face of the sweet-eyed maiden. and
the look and bearing of strong and
conscious manhood, all in one.
Joseph looked with eager admira-

Special Meeting of Council.

The Council met last evening in
special session to consider the ques-
ton of granting a franchise permit
ting the Pennsylvania road to build
a switch to the Pioneer Junk shop,
The matter was referred to the Rail-
road committee of the Council and
they were requested to meet as soon
as possible and stop the laying of
the track by the Pennsylvania road,
which had begun the work without a
franchise.
The committee went and viewed the
ground carefully and since the track
will be along the river bank and will
interfere with no one, they recon-
mend granting the franchise. After
some discussion of the matter the
franchise was granted, all voting for
it but Strain, who voted no.
