lutions which are submitted to our

First-I will not permit my self,
IT possible. to speak while angry.
II must spe ak before l can control
my anger will ioree myself to
speak III a low tone of voice. II
you will keep your voice low when
your temper 10 aroused anger will
will soon die 10 any one who 10
vexed with you.
Seeoud-l will neither gossip
about about the failings OF another
or will l permit another person 10
speak such gossip to me.
Third will respect weakness
and defer Ito it in the street cars,
on the elevated train, IN the store
and in the home, whether it be in
man or woman.
Fourth will always EXPIRE ss
gratitude Tor any favor or service
rendered to me, on the spot and at

probation OF good work BY another.
whether the party be friendly to
me or not One buttonhole bouquet
offered amid life's stress OF trial is
worth thousand wreaths of TO scs
laid on mans coffin
SIXTH will not talk about nv
personal ailments.
SeAenth-I will look on the bright
hide of the circumstances OF my
haily life and will seek 10 carry a
cheerful face and speak cheerfully
and hopefully to all whom | meet.
Eighth will neither cat nor
drink what know will dctract
from my ability 10 do my best work.
Ninth will speak aud act
truthfully.
Tenth will strive to be alwavs
ready for the verv best that can
happen 10 me. To be ready for
The worst is all very we'll 10 it's
way; but it is vein much over
worked.
IT bes ins 10 look as if President
Roosevelt was gong TO have mil
Iionaire cabinet It's said the rea-
son why Postmaster General Smith
resigned from the Cabinet was be.
cause OF the expenses attached to
The office. The salary is not suhi.
rient to maintain the dignity OF the
office in Washington. Mr.. Smith
being comparatively a poor man
could not longer ford to make the
sacrifice required Ct him for the
paltry sum OF $4,000. No wonder
only rich men can afford 10 hold
the high and important positions as
Cabinet officers.
1t is reported that Governor Shaw
is worth over million and can af-
lord to entertain fittingiy in the po-
sltion he will hold in the Presidents 5
Cabinet.
Theu Attorney General Knox
must have a good healthy bank &C
count, as he has purchased a resi-.
dence at the capital hat cost him
tl40, 600; his family will ride behind
a ST., 900 pair of horses. HIS sal
airy of $4,000 year will only ue
pin money for his wife.
Even our Presidents have never
been able 10 save much OF their sal
ariea. although they are paid
$4,000 4 year. out Of this sum
they are supposed 10 uphold the
dignity Of this grand and glorious
Democratic Nation.
Ex- President Cleveland is an ex.
cepton, as heretired fromth Pres
Idency at the end Of his second
term, with snug fortune made oy
lucky Investments in Wall street
and real estate on the outskirts OF
Washington.
1t will not he long before our
Presidents VIII be paid 500, 900 a
year and serve but one term oI 3
years.
