Honor the Veterans.

Forty years ago the future looked
dark for the republic; rebellion
and civil war was raging through the
land; European monarchists re-
joiced at the bitter strife rampant
in government of the people and
boasted that a republican govern
ment could not withstand the
shock of civil war. In those dark
days even the mighty Lincoln was
depressed, but his heart never
failed; he knew the people, and
had faith that the God who res
cued them from the tyranny of a
prejudiced king would not desert
them in their hour of need.
All honor to those who left home
and loved ones to succor the coun-
try in it's hour Of need! Honor to
Grant and his captains who led
them to victory; strew flowers over
their graves; keep the memory of
their deeds fresh before men, for
they saved the flag from dishonor
and maintained the integrity of an
Independent people.
A few scattered remnants is all
that is left of the mighty host who
saved the country from disruption,
and in another decade there will be
but few left to remind us of those
dark days of trouble. On Memo
rial Day they gather here and
there throughout the land to hon
or their comrades gone before and
march to the resting places of the
dead with floral tributes. How
different are these gatherings OF
today from those during the civil
war. Then to the sound of martial
music and with jaunty step the
soldier marched away from home
to the distant battlefield, Most Of
them we're young men, some being
no more than boys, but all were

and from it's absence in the other
we had no sound. Now it seems
just the same way to me with OPP
portunity. The man makes the
opportunity not the opportunity
the man. There is no such thing
as luck. Each thing that happens
is but the fulfilling of an unalter-
able law; like causes produce like
results, conditions being the same.
A mans measure of success then
in this world depends on his
knowledge OF the laws of cause
and effect and his application of
the same to everyday life.
When a man has carved out a
golden opportunity for himself and
we see him on the topmost wave of
success, we are apt to say that
"Luck" or a "Happy combination
of fortunate circumstances" has
placed him there. But if we take
the trouble to investigate that mans
life we will find that a Happy
combination of fortunate circum-
stances have been following him
all his life. just so Happy a
combination in fact as he has been
able to understand and apply the
laws of cause and effect. Then
the man makes the opportunity,
not the opportunity the man. If
there was no one to see, appreciate
and carry this something to sue
cessful issue, then the opportun-
ity never existed. There are no
''ifs'' or "bats" about opportunity.
Opportunity then is never a
thing of the past. Neither does it
belong to the future. ''Take no
heed for the morrow, what We shall
eat nor wherewithal ye shall be
clothed" whatsoever thy hand
fndeth to do, do it with all thy
might" These two quotations,
from the words of our Savior
would seem at first glance to be
contradictory; but they are not.
The first is simply negative; you

are to take no heed for the NOR
row. The second is positive and
present; whatsoever thy hand find
eth to do, right now, do it with all
thy might. Live in the present.
Too many of us spend our time in
useless brooding over the past Or
in building air castles for future
use and we neglect the present.
There's where your opportunities
are to be found. "Take care of the
minutes and the hours will take
care of themselves" is an old say
ing and true one; don't worry
about the future; take care of the
present. If you do this the right.
way the future will take care of
itself.
Character is builded up of little
habits that merge into one mighty
whole which keep prisoners as
securely as do these walls. We
should see then that our habits
make for good character.
Every opportunity is the out
come of lesser opportunities and
if used to the best advantage
will eventually lead us to that
opportunity of opportunities for
which we are all looking. Honesty
and ability will find no lack of
opportunities. If the man makes
the opportunity, we might ask
what kind Of a man is it that
makes the best kind OF opportuni-
ties and makes the most of them?
What are the qualifications neces-
sary? Mr.. Opee. the great paint
or, when asked by a student with
what he mixed his paints, replied,
with brains, sir" Sir Joshua
Reynolds, after listening to
companions praises of picture
at the Academy said, eyes, but it

his fingers. These are the most
essential qualifications, and of these
I almost think the chat. stands
first. It means determination,
steadfastness. stability, the sget

Without these man will not carve
out the greatest number of oppor-
tunities nor achieve the greatest
measure of success. j.. @.

hale and hearty and in the full
flush of strength and vigor. To-
day you do not find the strength
of a regiment in the muster roll of
half an army corps, and scarcely 8
sound man is left of that grand
old army, once over a million
strong.
The sentiment expressed by the
American people on Memorial Day
is beautifully poetic and fitting to
so great nation, and l believe no
other nation pays like homage to
its dead soldiers. Perhaps the
most touching part of the days
program is the part taken in it by
school children in some localities.
The day before they gather and
after few instructions from the
teachers regarding what is most
fitting to bring on the morrow
they dispense in groups and scat
ter through the hills and valleys
in search Of wild flowers for the
services. 1t seems that these wild
flowers, gathered by the hands Of
innocent children, are sweeter than
the rare products Of lighthouses and
perhaps better tribute to valor.
| What better lesson could child
learn than to gather flowers for the
graves of the honored dead? May
this beautiful custom continue in
definitely. Let us honor the old
veterans while we have them yet
in the flesh and not be niggardly
in pension matters nor deny them
good government positions. Hair
splitting and red tape should not
interfere with a grateful nations
bounty. The national purse is
drained for many purposes not near
ly as just or commendable as the
claims of the old soldiers and it is
the smallest kind of parsimonious-
ness that will stand in the way of
an honest debt. PENDENNIs.

to address him. Opportunities
may therefore arise out of occa-
sions.
Now the doing Of something
means the bringing of it to a sue
cessful issue. There is no If.
There is no failure in opportunity.
We often hear the expression, "He
had his opportunity and failed. y
This is incorrect. If he failed it
was no opportunity for him.
What would be an opportunity for
one may not be an opportunity for
another. What is an opportunity
for us depends upon our qualifca-
tions or ability to carry the under
taking to successful issue. If
we cannot do this it is not our op-
portunity.
We often hear the term ''lost
opportunities" and men, especi-
ally in an institution Of this kind,
when they seriously consider their
condition will brood over their
past and worry over what they con-
slider their "lost opportunities. -
Now to me there is no such thing
as a ''lost opportunity" No doubt
many will not agree with me in
that statement, but I shall try and
show you why I believe there is no
such thing as a lost opportunity.
Scientists define sound as any
thing that produces an impression
on the tympanum. Now anything
that can produce it must produce
the impression. Two trees fall in
the forest. Near the one is a man
capable of hearing; the sound
/ waves make an impression on the
tympanum and sound is produced.
The other stands in a solitude with
no living creature within reach of
the sound waves; no sound is pro-
duced. The conditions are the same
in both cases, with one exception:
The fact of the tympanum being
present in one case gave us sound,

Henry Wouters had quite an excit-
ing run away last Friday. While in
the Office of H. A. Nicholson's elevator

driveway and went homeward. About
a quarter of a mile south of Crary
they began running in a circle, COM
pleting the same four times before one
of the horses fell in the ditch near the
grade south of town. Fortunately
neither horse was injured the only
damage noticed being a broken wagon
tongue.
Ed. Fender who had a claim in Cd

land this season for Wright and Stew
ems about 8 miles south of Crazy has
disappeared without leaving any clue.
He was a bachelor, and lived on the
Dick Turner homestead near the lake
shore. His horses we're found in the
yard without food or water and at first
it was thought that some accident had
befallen him, or that he had commit
ted suicide. After making a search
of the premises and surroundings no
trace of him can be found and it is
generally believed that he has left for
parts unknown. He was heavily in
debt and his creditors will probably
take steps to protect themselves out of
what is left in the estate.
