BE in Earnest.

IT matters not in what yoca-
ton Of life we may be employed,
there are a few rules OF living
which we should always bear If
mind. Among them we would
give first place to the adroniticn
BE in earnest BE yourself
do not try to initiate someone
Ielse, or Try TO DO as someone else
does, bat have an irresistible
personality all your own; have
an object IN view; make up your
mind what you want to do, lay
plans for ii, and then "sticll to
lit" If you are a farmer and like
farming, wish to make il a sue
cess, wisf to make it pay be
enthusiastic over your work do
not get discouraged Just because
some little thing goes wrong bit
persevere, and you will surely be
rewarded. No matter how
small a thing may seem, do il
well. There is nothing on earth
that lis worth doing" at all,
but that is worth doing Well.
Have confidence IN yourself; be-
lieve in yourself; believe in you,
own ablitv; do not allow the
thonght TO enter your mind that
you are inferior to anyone else;
do not say to Yourself when you
have completed a task, 1T It is
good enoatf for me when you
want it to be good enough for
anyone else on earth. About
|everything on farm, or in any
oSher business for that matter,
theSone thing which will bring
success scorer than anythinge'se
is the keynote, Do. These
two lit.fc- words, DO and
WeY' constitute one of the
spIest and soundest of the bus
}}dness foundations. President
Roosevelt sounded a note along
this same line in one ofhis recent
Espeeches, in which he said, in
leaect: "The highest ideal of
/ American citizen is he who seeks
not so much TO do the great
things, as he who willingly and
uncomplainingly does the little,
everyday humdrum dates Of life
| we'll. Take time to be sociable
Iendeavor alwav to see the best
side oflile; be always ready to
GIVE. rs your neanswill allow to
good enterprises, and you lind
that you are ready when the OPP
portunlty persent, itself to enjoy
the good things" Of life, and
that your undertakings are aiull
rounded success Lewis Kel-

ed. It was in this campaign, 1t is said, that she got the name of "Cal- amity Jane'' from an officer who had been wounded in an Indian ambuscade and whom she bore back to camp on her horse.
 She was still in another campaign after this, that of, 1876, when Custer started on his march to the Big Horn. She was employed to carry dispatches. On one occasion she swan the Platte river with dispatches, but afterwardS got pneumonia and was furloughed. She was still on furlough when Custer set out for the scene of his last battle.
 The subsequent career of Calamity Jane' was almost as exciting as her army adventures. For seevral years she was a government mail carrier be- tween Deadwood and Custer, Mont, one of the worst routes in the west. She was so expert a shot that few men ever dared molest her.. She was n member of the posse which captured Jack Mccall, famous desperate in Deadwood, the woman, so the story goes, cornering the latter in butcher store.
 Tn 1878, after a short service with the Seventh cavalry, she bought a ranch and retired. She afterwards married and had one daughter.
