one of the features of the house is
porch 300 feet long facing and
affording promenade in all kinds

The hotel has been provided with
it's own electric lighting plant dur

with the very latest things in
billiard tables. A considerable
amount has been expended in i'm
provements to the grounds and on
the boat landing, bathing beach,

1t is now practically settled that
the Rock Island will build line of
it's own to Spirit Lake during the
coming season, thus giving that
road direct route and placing it in
condition to get a good share of the
summer travel to the lake resorts.
The line has been in contemplation
for more than a year, and was only
delayed last year by the extremely
bad building weather. Operations
will be commenced just as soon as
weather is fit in the spring to
attempt grading.
The new line will start at Royal a |
small station on the Rock Island in |

to Lake Okoboji along it's west

A COUNTRY NIGHT.

The sky of rural September
night in Challis is abasemeut,
thrill and rest in one. A glance
above staggers the mind with
the smallness of self. Moving
planets and stars of steady light
give narrow thoughts their re-
buke. Then comes the revela-
tion that an eye to see such a
message proves the seer greater
than the seen. The soul is bath
ed in the silence, and the rested
eye looks on a sight, foreign to
the dweller in the city of pitiles;
noise and light. The sky above
is broad like human thought, it
is as everlasting as Love; in that
is rest.

Remarkable Record.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
has a remarkable record. 1t has
been in use for over 30 years,
during which time many million
bottles have been sold and used.
1t has long been the standard
and main reliance in the treat
ment of Group in thousands of
homes, yet during all this time
no case has ever been reported
to the manufacturers in which it
failed to effect a cure. When
given as soon as child becomes
hoarse or even as soon as croupy
cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. 1t is pleasant to take
many children like it. 1t con-
tains no opium or other harmful
substance and may be given as
confidently to baby as to an
adult. For sale by j. p. Spald-
ing, druggist.

THE FORWARD TREND.

The differing orbits of the sky
bodies are all bound up together
in one majestic sweep of the uni
verse through space This is a
picture of the condition in our
own little sphere. Men are not
equal and the way of one man
differeth from the way of anoth-
er; yet are all bound together in
one great destiny and that. the
gradual moving forward toward
betterment. Those of us who
fear regarding the final outcome
of all things for good, are those
who look so long at individual
orbits as to lose sight of the
greater, grander unity of things.

TRIPLES.

Viewed in broad sense, there
are no such things as trivialities.
The points of a railway. switch
swerve but a trifle, yet the end
of the turning may be as far as
the East is from the West. Triv-
ial wrongs, trivial hurts-such
things do not exist. They are
dissipated, of course, if there be
health within to overcome; but
in their possibilities there is no
less or greater. A body, out of
tune, is in imminent danger of
death from a scratch; moral
idea impaired can become wreck
age for the waves of despair at
the slightest further yielding.

SAvANTs.

Each special study calls for its
own great sacrifice. If we spec
ialize on the bad points of our
neighbors, our eyes will become
blinded to their beauties by the
glare of their defects. To some
men a beautiful forest has no
meaning except as a lurking
place for creeping creatures.
Savants of evil take just such a
miserable, microscopic view of
the majesty of humanity, and
find in the flaws of another
grounds for despicable self
graduation. Surely there are
Shiny evils, but the minded
see God-like beauty, even though
furnished here and there, and
they choose the better view.

EDUCATION IN PLAY.

Real education leads to glimps-
es of a wider life, in which no
human being is unimportant, and
the total of whose effort moves
the world. Such glimpses can
be gained better in play than in
books. Practically every motion
of a child can show it the value
of cooperation, growth towards
serener contest with opposition,
the absolute demand of the world
on every human being for SER
vice, the gain in power by show
ing genuine sympathy towards
others. This is real education,
and the street gamin is better
able to acquire it than the forced
and drop-forged children of the
unwise.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1903-09-01
RELATIONS.

Real education is a study of re-
lations. The really educated
man, by adaptation of self to the
world, weaves new conditions
from old. The greatest possible
gain would come to the world if
parents and teachers recognized
the destiny of the child is to be
thrown into a world where the
sum of all that is done is done by
a mass of differing atoms. Such
a study of relations comes to
most children as something quite
undreamed of until mature life is
before them; then follow several
years of laundering to find the
solid ground of positive under
standing.

RANDOM THOUGHTS.
THE SUNNY SIDE.

1t is unnecessary to go all our
days crushed with a sense of
each act being a potential trag-
edy. 1t is, and we cannot change
the condition. But there is a
cheerful view of this; every act
of right is more self-multiplying
than wrong, since health begets
health and health destroys evil.
The sunny sidewalk of life is the
place where trifes of kindness,
thoughtfulness, and gentleness
are done from a cultivated habit.
Every such act has in it might
ness to cheer and reform. Life
spent in shedding tnexhaustible
radium particles of light and
warmth is never a tragedy.

CHILD STUDY.

Real education means a lead
ing out and development of Self.
Crowding the child as we have
seen it done in the Challis and
and other public schools is a
crime. Why should the child
reach certain Uniform standards,
when ne was not born for unifor-
nifty Thousands of men have
achieved greatness in spite of
education. HE was dull at
school," "He could not pass up
in mathematics" (See Biograph-
les and ponder). The lesson is
to lazy teachers and lazier par
ents who would crush individual
ity, because it takes time to study
it. Each child is a study, and
true education will see that the
Self is developed to the point of
utility to the world.

need it in their business at a
