Character Above All.

Senator George F. Hoar recently de.
livered the commencement address at
the University of Iowa. He impressed
on his hearers the value of character,
either in the individual or in the ma
ton.
'."The fate of the nation depends in
the last resort on individual character.
Everything in human government, like
everything in individual conduct, de-
pends, in the end, upon the sense OF
duty. Whatever safeguards may be
established, however complicated or
well adjusted the mechanism, you
come to a place somewhere where SAT-
ty depends upon somebody having the
will to do right when it is in his pow
er, and may seem to his interest to do
wrong.
"In the last resort the destiny of the
Republic, like the destiny of the in
dividual (and in the case of an indi-
yidual character and destiny are the
same thing, depends upon individual
will. Will the individual choose what
is right and not what is wrong?"

Wouldn't Lend a Cent.

The late Henry G. Morse president
of the New York Shipbuilding COM
pany, was one day visited by man Of
questionable repute, who wished to bor-
row money wherewith to launch a
questionable enterprise. Mr.. Morse
gave some polite excuse for his
unwillingness to lend, and the man de-
clared that he regarded this excuse as
somewhat fishy. Thereupon smiling
grimly, Mr. Morse said:
LET me tell you little story. Once
upon a time an Arab went to his
neighbor and said:
"Lend me your rope
"T can't said the neighbor.
"'Why can't your
because l want to use the rope
myself
"'What DO you want to do with it?'
the borrower persisted.
"I want to tie up five cubic feet OF
water with it, was the reply.
"'How on earth, the other sneered,
can you tie up water with roper
"'My friend said the neighbor,
Allah is great, and he permits us to
do strange things with rope when
we don't want to lend it,"

OmcerS' HOrees.

The proposition that every officer of
The cavalry be required to own his
own horse and that each officer be priv
ileged to buy any horse in his troop
has been made to the Secretary Of War
and will be referred by him to the War
College Board for action. The regula-
ton requiring cavalry officers to own
their mounts has not been enforced
within recent years owing to the un.
certainty of the service and the possi.
bility that the officer might at any time
be ordered to the Philippines. The
proposition that officers be allowed to
purchase any horse in their command
is said to have been opposed by the
board on changes in the army regula-
tons, although approved by the cav
airy board. 1t Is claimed that by
adopting such regulation dissatisfac
ton would ensue among the men, who
ca d never be certain that they would
retain their individual mounts. There
will be much interest in the recommen.
dation of the Army War College Board
in regard to this matter.-The Army
and Navy Journal.

Why He Celebrated.

One Of the professors at Cornell Uni

however, been for a long time a resi-.
dent of the United States, and his chill.

Times relates an amusing anecdote,
which the professor himself is fond of
telling.
One Fourth of July the professors
eldest son had exploded, early in the
afternoon, all the firecrackers that he
had provided for the day. The young.
ster and his little friends wanted more,
so the boy found his father and asked
for some money with which to buy a
new stock of fireworks.
II will give you the money, my son,
if you can tell me what it is that you
are celebrating with all these fire.

II can do that easy enough" said the
boy. This is the anniversary Of the

BUILDING UP THE CORNERS.

Looking from my narrow window 1 could
see thick walls arise,
And know stately building soon would
tower toward the skies;
Mighty buttresses OF granite one BY one
saw them form
TIL knew the massive palace would resist
the stoutest storm.
Then no more saw the workmen; and the
walls unfinished stood
Like some wind wrecked forest monarch in
the IA tness OF q wood.
But behold While still fretted DER the
structure Incomplete.
Non appeared above It's walls again with
busy hands and feet.
And l learned that while I'd wondered why
such Incidence should be
They'd been building up the corners that my
own eyes could not see.
You have seen a man OF promise starting
out for q career;
You had not doubt about him, you had
ns'sr q qualm OF fear.
Day BY day you saw him growing, and you
glorted in his strength
Just as II yourself possessed it, but there
came q time at length
When the structure, as you saw 1t, strove no
more to roach the sky;
And your anxious heart was anguished that
his glory had gone by.
But again you looked, and marveled; for
the man was growing still,
And you watched his rise to greatness with
sympathetic thrill.
For the while You thought the struggle
basely given over, he
builded up the corners that your
own eyes could not see.

wAfIR PROSPECTS coon.

1t is said not in many years ha s
the outlook been better for a snp-
ply of irrigating water for the
farmers all over Colorado. The
reason for this is the cloudy wea-
ther which has prevailed over the
mountain region for . greater ex.
tent this spring than usual. There
have been many years when the
total snowfall on the high ranges
was greater than it IS last winter
but often whea the mountains
have been covered wit h hard
packed snow, warm dry winds
have come along in April which
have simply licked up the snow,
evaporating the water as fast as
melted, SO that not even the stor-
age reservoirs got any benefit.
This spring the mountains have
been blanketed in moist clouds
more than usual, and the snow
banks have been comp acted with
out melting away.
On the Alpine tunnel line of the
Colorado & Southern the snow is
reported to still lie In drifts 80 feet
deep, while all over the higher
mountains there is a thick coat

In the first opening of Oklaho-

of this paper was among the many
seekers after fortune who made
the big race one fine day in April.
During his travelling about and
afterwards his camping upon his
claim, he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him very Sc.

most impossible to check. and
along in June the case became SO
bad that he expected to die. One
day one of his neighbors brought
him one small bottle of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy as last hope. A
big dose was given him while he
was rolling about on the ground
in great agony, and in a few min
utes the dose was repeated. The
good effect of the medicine was
soon noticed and within an hour
the patient was taking his first
sound sleep for fortnight. That

OF representatives of bitches in

held in Pueblo Tuesday, the fol-
lowing new officers we're elected:

W. Nj. Wiley. of Holly, treasurer;
A. f. Bent, of Lamar, was select
ed the third member of the exccu-
tive committee, the other two be.
ing the president and secretary Of
the association.
Aside from the election OF Off
GERS, the association did little else
than discuss the important ques-
ton of the effect upon direct ap-
propriators of the use of the river
by the Twin Lakes Reservoir Co.
for carrying water to the headgate
of the Bob Creek canal. The
claim was made that the reservoir
company stored water st times
when they were not entitled to
store, aud that q part of the water
turned into the river was improp-
erly taken out by intervening
bitches before reaching the Bob
Greek headgate, all to the material
injury Of the bitches further down
the stream.
State Engineer Carpenter and
Division Engineer Chew were
present at the meeting by invita-
ton. Mr.. Chew detailed the
methods heretofore used by him
in supervising the operation OF the
reservoir and attempts made to
protect the rights of prior d tches.
State Engineer Carpenter stat.
cd that this case was but one of a
number of similar nature which
his Office had to deal with, and
that he would visit the reservoir
site and see that the law in regard
to maintaining a guage rod was
being complied with. He suggest.
ed that the injury to the bitches
might not be as much as thought
by some, and that publicity in re-
gard to the amount of water in the
reservoir, the guage reading the
time of withdrawal and the
amounts of water taken, would
tend to a better feeling and re.
move much of the present fric.
ton.
After q lengthy discussion the
whole matter was turned over to
the executive committee with in.
structions to act and take such
steps as necessary.
The meeting was the most large,
ly attended in the history OF the
association, every important cana
between the mountains and the
state line being represented
