TURNED ON OUR OWN LATHE

Many men take hold of opportunity
at the wrong end.
Ignorance is always positive, and
narrowness contentious.
In things where the heart is not,
the hand is never strong.

A man without religion is like a

Conceit gets more men into trouble
than either women or wine.
One consolation that we have-we
shall not live to see the day when we
die.
The man who betrays a friend is
the boss stoker in the devils work
shop.
The man who knows that he is
smart is fooled by every passing
shadow.
If you should introduce fool to
himself his compliments would be
most profuse.
Street car manners in New York
city resemble a baseball game at a
village school.
The man who talks without think
ing is like the hunter shooting at
game without taking aim.
Physicians are very fortunate in
their profession-because the earth
covers their failures.
What sparkling documents of truth
must be the letters of the Jacksonville
men who write to their absent wives.
Every man should go into solitude
now and then to get acquainted with
himself-to find out what poor stick
he has been associating with.
When a woman keeps books of her

SOME CUTTINGS.

A woman can say more in q sigh
than man can in sermon.
1t is surprising what an amount of
nothing some people can accomplish.
Marriage will change woman's
name, but it seldom alters her nature.
The more the gas jet blows the less
light it affords. Some men resemble
gas jets.
1t is always right that man should
be able to render reason for the faith
that is within him.-Sidney Smith.
Some men can take new furniture

WHAT ONE WOMAN OBSERVES

To be contented you must be good
friends with yourself.
The man who is bravest in words
is often weakest in action.
Women with double chins are apt to
be exacting in love affairs.
Hope is memory that Graves; rec
objection is a memory sated.
To be born without humor one loses
two-thirds of life's enjoyment.
The womanly woman is born-not
made. She is not only good. but good
for something.
A woman is proud to see come back
to her side the man whom she has
left perfectly tree.
II you are fond of a woman tell her
so, it cannot hurt you, and it will
make her much happier.
1t is not always good looks and
wealth that capture. it is rather the
come hither" in the eye.
No man has the power of reaching
his own ideal. unless he inculcates
that ideal in the mind of others.
Women are more ambitious in love
tnan men, not only do tney weu tne
heart, but they must share the
thoughts as well.
The unfailing symptoms of waning
love in man is a gradual indifference
to the little things that for time
meant so very much to him.
Nothing in the world can exceed
the utter loyalty with which woman
respects the confidence of a man for
whom she has a genuine liking.
Beauty in man is rather irritating.
There is so little of it TO go around
that 1t seems pure wastefulness to
bestow it where ii is not needed.
The majority of men want three
things; They want to be understood,
they want to be sympathized with and
they want to be liked for themselves.
Women as a rule care very little
about the law, possibly because they
have had no share in making it. Then
they look at everything in very
personal way.

CONSCIENCE MUSINGS.

There is nothing so undignified as
anger.
Revenge. however sweet, always
costs more than it is worth.
Conscience is the voice of the soul;
the passions are the voice of the body
To dread no eye and to suspect no
tongue is the great prerogative of in
nocence.
We are all creatures of circum-
stances, and merit often fails where
good luck wins.
There are many men whose tongues
might govern multiudes, if they could
but govern themselves.
Pleasure must first have the war
rant that it is without sin; then. the
measure, that it is without excess.
Every beautiful, pure and good
thought which the heart entertains is
an angel of mercy. purifying and
guarding the soul
oh, how small a portion of earth
will hold us when We are dead, who
ambitiously seek after the whole world
while we are living.

How can we do less for that rarer

The more you think of your friend
the less you will subject him to trivial

The result in a sufficiently disas-

Only we are good-naturedly given

Gilpin observer., 1902-10-16

Mr.. Samuel V. Newell, the gentleman
who is to make race for senator against
Mr.. McShane, is having nice time ol
it at present trying to explain why he
voted against the eight-hour law while
in the senate, and uses as his excuse
that he knew the law was unconstitut-
ional and that is why he voted against
1t. This is somewhat ingenious, but MIR.
Newell wasn't sent to the senate to be a
judge of the laws passed, but to express
and vote for the interests of his con-
stituents. We have courts to interpret
the laws, and inform us whether they
are good or not.
We all know that Mr.. Newell is not in
favor of an eight hour law (of course he
will sav he is now, while he is seeking
votes), and the voters must remember
that even il the amendment is passed,
it will take bill to pass the legislature
at its next session to make the eight
hour law reality, and we can not i'm
agine such thing as the workingmen OF
this district voting for Mr.. Newell and
then expect him to vote for the bill
when it comes up for passage, he might
again presume to be the judge and jury
and the whole thing for Gilpin county
and vote against the measure.
