How Shorty Settled

doctor in Kansas and sheep herder in

instability and furtive manner had
kept Shorty on his .uppers, and his
shifty eye told the story of one who
was always looking for something or
somebody to do. 49,
The tide of uncertainty upon which
he drifted carried him into Chelan
during the mining excitement. Speci-
mems of float and small sacks of quartz
were coming in daily and were accu-
mulating behind the bar at the Golden
Hope until such time as they could be
sent to Seattle for assay. Shorty noticed
this fact while taking his Introductory
dram, and ascertained from the host
that there was no assayer in the vicinity.
While eminent authorities hold other
wise, Shorty firmly believed that there
was such 9 thing as lost opportunity,
so he fastened to proclaim that he was

aimed at the qualification of his own
desires should make the attempt to
smother his desires, he would at first
find it almost impossible to overcome
the force of habit. Likewise, one who
for years has striven to obliterate self
from his thoughts and actions will
find it extremely difficult to tread the
path of selishness; for our virtues as
we'll as our vices grow stronger with
continued use.
I How many of the inmates of this in
lLstitution are there who have not at
some time of their life been engaged in
doing positive good to some one with
out giving themselves as much as a
single thought? If then we who are,
or are supposed to be, evil, that is over
much selfish, are yet capable at times
and under favorable conditions, to
eliminate self from our motives, how
much more will This be possible in our
betters. SAY, for instance, the honorable
and pious gentlemen who so earnestly
and pertinaciously labored to send us
here?
If it be said in objection to the theory
that man may at times be ruled by mo-
tives purely unselfish, that such ap-
parently unselfsh motives are not
really so, but are in fact selfish, mas
much as they are source of pleasure
to him who is ruled by them; or be-
cause they bring their own reward; or
that they are selfish insofar as man ex-
poets to find his own happiness in the
happiness of manxind in general; or
that to act differently would bring
unhappiness, ETC., we answer that such
motives cannot with reason be called
selfish, unless it can be shown that con-
sideratiOns of self entered into, and
formed part of them, and that the
above objections in no wise prove the
necessity of selfish motives. And it
also can be said that, if happiness or
feeling of satisfaction accompanies
or follows actions prompted by what we
consider to be selfish motives, it does
not follow that such happiness, or feel
ing of satisfaction were thought of or
sought for before or at the time of the
commission of the act prompted by
motives which we believe may be Justly
called unselfish; but the happiness de-
rived from unselfish thoughts and
actions may be considered as proof that,
if in natures law there is no grace,
neither is there inJustice-the doer of
evil cannot escape the consequences of
his evil deeds; the doer of good will
receive his just reward, and the reward
will be greater in proportion as the mo-
tives which prompted MIN to do good
were free from selfishness. H.S.,J

The Testlessness displayed yesterday by
the archbishop alarmed both his physi-

and they awaited with no little anxiety
the way in which he would pass the night.
They were completely reassured this
morning Father CurIey said today:

night than he has on any other night since
the beginning Of his illness He slept al
most eight hours, and seemed to be great

his breakfast of farina and cream
