The proud parents of a small

ing what profession the child
should be brought up in. They

an apple on the floor, and left the

Don't

Allow your head to be turned by a
few words of praise.
Fawn upon the man from whom
you are soliciting IA favor.
Become so reticent that you make
yourself uninteresting.
Boast of your greatness because
you find willing listeners.
Imagine anyone is deceived but
yourself by a consequential strut.
Garry your enmity to a point where
it becomes burning vindictiveness.
Assume a familiar tone with a SUI
perior because you are treated with
kindness.
Speak of distinguished persons as
though you questioned a well-earned
reputation.
Regard it as a duty to attend to
the affairs of other persons to the
neglect of your own.

THERE is a movement on foot here to
start an Audubon Society and to enlist
the boys and girls of Saratoga in the
work of protecting the birds OF this
country. Judge Heath is very much in

officers will be chosen and members so.

each member and the badge, a small

picture of a beautiful Crimson headed

Birds, their nests and eggs is given to
each person who joins the society. The
Sun hopes that the boys and girls will
take this matter up and form a branch
society, assuring them that it will do all
in its power to help the cause forward.

The ticket which was nominated at
the Republican State Convention at
Rawlins, is a most excellent one. and the
Sun will give its hearty support to the
men who have done their work well
in the past, and who are better fitted
than ever to carry on the work, and
continue the progress made in this state
the past few years. The convention was
a most harmonious one, and it remains
for the Republicans of Wyoming to
bring to a satisfactory conclusion in
November, the work so well started.

SHEEPMEN and miners, as well as all

The saying is, Take life as you find

JUDGE Heath has favored The Sun
with a copy of a reprint of "The Week.

Sunday, July LIST, 1888. 1t is entirely
filed with the coronation Of Queen Vic
tory and the front page is adorned with
a large wood cut of the interior of the
Abbey at the moment Of the browning
of the Queen. The paper contains mi
mute details of the coronation procession
and the ceremony at the Abbey, giving
all the names of the persons in the pro
cession and those who took part in the
impressive ceremony. There are a few
quaint old advertisements in the paper,
n being that of a wig maker by the
name of McAlpine, who guarantees to
make a wig hat will give satisfaction
and who also offers, much after the
fashion of advertisers of the present day,

ing us with thoughts and good reso-
lutions. Like Hawthorne, we have
been washing dishes. Says he: "The
washing of dishes seems to be the
most abused and unsatisfactory bust
ness I ever got into. If, when one
washes they would remain clean for
ever, (Which they ought in all reason

it isl there should be less occasion to
grumble; but no sooner is it done
than it requires to be done again. On
the whole, / have come to the resolu-
ton not to use but one dish at each
meal"
Not only have we, like Hawthorne
washed dishes, but also we cooked
and helped to eat a meal with bated
appetite because of cooking and now
we are astonished at the number of
thoughts and steps and acts and pro-
cesses involved in a very plain sup
per. And We had it, and with it came

After plants are put into the pots set
them zeal together In a partly shaded

On the lawn I'm autumn the grass

smother the lower leaves.
Sod Is an excellent protection to an

reason. IL 1t is plowed, apply n good

Argument for Irritation.

(Secretary of Agriculture Wilson in

| am in favor of having more homes
out in the west. Uncle Sam has a
great deal of land and a great deal of
water out there. That land is arid,
and the water which would make il
productive is running to waste. |
would wet some of those great noun
tain valleys and plains and build more
homes, and make more markets.
That is the development of the Unit.
ed States that ! want to see. And |
want to say to you, gentlemen, that !
have all the confidence in the world
that you will move along conservative
lines. You must not alarm our east,
ern brethren by trying to do every.
thing all at once. This great work
will take time. II will take many
years to wet all that dry land, but we
ought to begin now and go along care.
fully each year until the task is done.
You will not get many dams built
or neighborhoods started before the
eastern business men will have their
travelling men out there to sell goods,
They will find it is a grand thing to
have people out there to buy from
them.
You need not worry about finding
settlers for your arid land after you
have reclaimed it. The farmers have
the money o to buy that land and
put their boys on it just as fast as
you al get it ready for them, ant
they will do it; and | would mucl
rather see them do it than have then
