sued an order restraining the county school
board and county treasurer, t. NJ. Duck
EFT. for paying out any more of the school
funds of the county until a proper ac-
counting and pro rating of the school
funds can be had. Representatives of the
city schools contend that the county board
has violated not only the spirit, but the
plain letter of the law in refusing to pay
over to the city board its pro rata share
of the school funds. It has for some time
been claimed that while the city paid very
large property on the school taxes of the
county, the schools of the city did not
profit in proportion to the amount paid.

DON'T BE a kNookER.

Don't knock. If there is a
chance to boom your town boom
it. Don't pull long face and
get sour on your stomach. Hope
a bit. Get smile on you. Hold
up your head. Get hold with
both hands and then pull. Bury
your Ratchet. Drop your toma-
hawk. Hide your hammer. When
a stranger drops in tell him this
is the best town on earth. Tell
him about the mines and agri-
cultural resources, and about the
stock and other industries; tell
him about the healthy climate
and tell him about the railroads
coming to Challis. Don't get
mulish. The town is what the
people make it. Don't roast. Be
jolly. Get popular. 1t is dead
easy. Help yourself along. Push
your friend with you. Soon
you'll have whole procession.
Be a good fellow. Be a "brick. {"
No man ever helped himself by
knocking other people down. No
man ever got rich trying to make
people believe that he was the
only good man on earth. You
can't climb the ladder Of fame by
stepping on other peoples corns;
not yours. And they're tender.
Keep off the corns. All men are
not alike. But some are differ
ent. You're not the only shirt
in the wash. If you don't like
their style let them alone. Dom t
knock. You'll get used 10 it.
There's no end of fun in minding

Have you ever seriously tried
to think what you would do il
you were plutocrat ? If not,
just recall some one wet holiday
when your time was all your
own. The memory, if honest,
will probably relieve you of the
hersey which makes work a
cause of complaint.
There is no philosophy more
true, more useful; or more ami
able, than that which teaches us
to make the best of things. No
one is more to be pitied than he
who signs for great things, and
lacks the nerve to attempt them,
or than the youth who finds life
in general bore, every town
"slow," all labor tedious and
simple pleasures beneath his dig
nifty. No sights are more sad
than querulous womanhood, sour
ed manhood or an old age of re-
greet for the pleasure of the past
that can be no more.
There is a world of wisdom in
Mark Twain's story of "The Lit
tie Optimist" who got his fence
painted for him by his cheerful
ness.
Night is seldom quite dark. If
the moon and the stars are hid
den, there may be the after glow
of sunset or glimmer that pres
ages dawn.
We have only one earthly life
to live and shall be all the better
and all the happier if we adopt
the philosophy of the ancients
and count that hour of happiness
which is free from pain.
Observe how fast Time hurries
past
Then use each hour, while in
your power;
For comes the sun, but Time flies
on,
Proceeding ever, returning never.
