The Handicap of Age,

The complaint is frequently made by men out of employment that they have found gray hairs the greatest of handi- caps. The world demands. they say, that the first requisite shall be youth. Undoubtedly, there is truth in the complaint so far as it applies to men cut of work. A man already employed and successfully filling his position finds a much greater demand for hls services from ether employers than when he is hunting q jo6-' But, after

all. the men who find their gray hairs a disadvantage have themselves chiefly to blame
 In an interesting article cn this sub icct in the May Success, My. O. s. Marsden points out that people who appear old must expect to be consid- cred so; and, if they apply for posi- tions with every appearance that sen have gone to seed. they cannot ex pect favorable consideration. If gray haired applicants for positions would only appreciate the value of appear ances. and would "brace up when they seek situations-go well groomed" and well dressed. with elastic steps, show ing that they still possess fire, force. and enthusiasm-they would eliminate an obstacle greater than their gray hairs. We think ourselves into inca pacity by looking for signs of age and dwelling on them, and the body follows the thought We should, therefore, avoid the appearance of age in every possible way, by dress, carriage, con versation, and especially by our atti- tude toward people and things.
 It is not difficult says MT. MaTsGen. to preserve the buoyancy and freshness O. youth, but it must be done by con- stant effort and practice. A musician who expects to make only one or two important appearances a year must keep up his practice. Youthfulness cannot be put on for a day if old age has had a grip on you for months. It is important to preserve the fire of youth as long as possible, to carry freshness and vigor into old age by keeping up a hearty interest in every thing that interests youth. Many Of us seem to think that youthful sports and pastimes are foolish. and, before we know it, we get entirely out of sym pathy with all young life, and conse- quently really old, whatever our years. We must think youthful thoughts, as sociate with young people, and interest them. When a person ceases to in ; he is showing signs ot old age.
 A man of vigorous bearing. with fresh mind and ideas, will nave little trouble in getting employment. no mat ter what the number of his years may be.
 We i<n9w many interesting old people of seventy or eighty who have never allowed themselves for q moment to think they were old. If you should suggest that they are old, they would resent it. They feel young because they have not allowed. themselves to dwell upon the signs of age. They have not allowed their minds to grow old, and the 1ody cannot gr1w- cid while the mind is young.
 William Mathews tells of a venerable parishoner who took his gray bearded pastor by the beard and said: You would better dye these, for. if you leave your present charge, no one will call you with such badge of advanced life" MT. Mathews adds that, Ii this was one of the languid, spiritless old men to be found in the ministry. as well as in other callings, "it was his brains that needed dyeing. not his whiskers.''

Cattle Low in Price.

a prominent rancher to an In

the door with it with sufficient
force to break one of the panels.

WILL NOT BUILD
JAIL THIS YEAR
Teutsch's Bid was The Lowest but Adycr.
tscment for Bids VIII be Contuued
Ninety Days Commissioners in Session.

The County Commissioners met
Monday afternoon with Com
missioner John Wallin in the
chair. Commissioners Torbenson,
Black, Swanson and Richardson
We're present. The first work
taken up was opening the bids
for the building Of the new Jail
and sheriff $ residence. Five bids
were in as follows:
G>glund Bros, $13,49O.
Eugene Teutsch, SS11, ,S6S.
N. J. Warner, $12,375.
.. H. LYAS14, 594.
D. A. Dh@& Co., $12,571.
Had thelob been let that day
Eugene Teutsch would have been
the lucky man, but it was as
certained that the advertisement
for bids had not been published
long enough, 1T requiring ninety
days. The commissioners have
ordered the advertisement for
bids placed in the papers once
more and the bids will be opened
January 8.
Mr.. Teutsch's bid was accom-
panied by certified check Of
$5OOsas a guarantee Of his full
filing the contract and an as
surity bond for any amount
asked for was ready. He is still
in the ring however and will bid
again, as will likely the other
contractors besides some new
ones. Mr.. Teutsch is ready for
any jobs that come his way in
brick work or any other kind OF
work.
Some changes are to be made
in the plan for the new jail, The
plans as first submitted gave too
small a space for the jail. It will
be impossible now to erect the
Jail and residence before spring.

"LARRY" is INDICATED.

AS a girst-class article of vindication
the Honorable Larry" Duggan of
Butte need have no hesitancy in call
ing attention to his nomination as
mayor of that city by the labor party.
The gentleman will be remembered as
one of the representatives from Silver
Bow county at the last session of the
legislature, and as such was there sup
posedly by the grace of the mar who
has been at different times credited
by the democratic newspapers of the
state with being the head of a move
ment." Be this as it may, Mr.. Dug
gan was always found voting with
that side-eXcept once. He supported
the fair trial" bill and by his vote
helped make it into a law. Before
casting his vote he took occasion to
explain that he was not less loyal to
the movement" and it's putative
head, but was more loyal to the labor
ing men of his city, who had voted for
lllIl dllu uldAS ulo clCCllOA pO0S1DlS
and who had asked that he give his
support to the bill. For daring to do
this he was threatened with political
death and his friends were informed
that he had reached his end and hence
forth would have nothing to do but
gain further renown and dollars by
officiating in the interest of such of
his fellow men who unfortunately had
died, for Mr.. Duggan is an under
taker. But the threat and the promise
cen to have proved futile. Mr.. Dug
gan is very much alive politically and
promises to make the warmest race
for the mayoralty of his town that
has yer been witnessed in the state.
He may not be elected and probably
will not be, but he is indicated and
the power of the movement" appar-
emily has been greatly reduced in the
place of it's origin.

MERELY LACKED A

Chaplain Porter may have been
lacking in tact and to that extent made
himself c%ensurable, but the fact still
remains unhidden that he could not
have selected a more appropriate sub
ject for a special appeal to the throne
of grace than the democrats, whether
as represented by the minority in the
Utah legislature or the party in gener-
al. BY showing himself Indifferent to
the possibility that some future house
of the Utah legislature may be demo-
cratic and that by his prayer he ruin
ed all prospects of securing an ap-
pointment as spiritual guardian of
it's members he only showed the earn
estness and sincerity of his convic-
tons. That he holds his present posi-
ton by a vote of the house made no
difference to him. He saw an oppor-
tunity for a praying man to avail him
self of and he was equal to the &C.
casion. 1t is to be hoped that his
supplication did not fall on ears clos
ed to the cry of the righteous and
worthy, but that answer will be made
to his petition and that it will
be fruitful of blessed results.

THAT WYOMING ZEPHYR.

Pittsburg Dispatch: The governor
of Wyoming has been down at Wash
ington predicting a western revolt
against Roosevelt in 1904 because of
the administrations forestry policy.
1--WE are in favor of protecting the
people, rather than animals" he de-
clares, land cannot support a policy
which sets apart the only land suitable
for settlement so that eastern pleas
ure seekers may have a place to fish
and hunt and camp out during the
season" But, as the statement of
Commissioner Richards of the general
land office, issued the following day,
proves, the president has not attempt
ed to do anything of the kind. What
he does want is to protect the timber
areas remaining from devastation SIM
ilar+o that in the Appalachian range,
SO that the natural sources of water
supply may be preserved and the
means provided for carrying out the
great scheme of irrigation already ap-
proved by congress-. In the conclud-
ing words of the commissioners state
ment. "the n guiding purpose of
the administration is to help make
easy the path of the home builder,
and not to let the land be exploited
and skinned by those who have no
permanent home thereon"
Il the only opposition Roosevelt is
to have in 1904 is to come from the
sheep and cattle interests which OBJ
ject to being driven from the public
lands and reservations the Wyoming
threat will not be dangerously formid-
able.
