At last Tom Bradshaw and Rob
Hanson had made up their minds that
they would never be able to agree
upon anything. In infancy they had
lain in opposite ends of the same era
die, making faces and kicking each
other. Tom could scream loudest. but
Bob was longest winded. They fought
over their games n toys in boyhood,
quarrcled about their s~weethearts in
youth and wrangled over politics and
religion in later years.
In the fall If '58 came the bitter
fractional wal in that state and they
drifted apart, sworn enemies.
When Bradshaw Joined the Union
army. Hanson vowed, by gum, l
didn't lever intend to take no side in
the Dlagy war nohow, but now I'll
join the South jist to git even with
Tom, by gum, I will" And he did.

much good. An. moreover, eff ave l

enough left Nv his carcass to amuse
the folks as buries him."
On opposite sides these two men
faced each other in all the hard
fought battles from Five Forks to
the Wilderness"
In this terrible conflict Bradshaw's
right arm was shot away, and Hanson
lost his left.
When the war closed, Tom married,
and, as he put it pulled his freight
fer old %Indiany." saying: They amt
a state in the whole Union big enough
fer both me an Bob Hanson"
The years came and went; the Brad
shaw and the Hanson families grew
up total strangers. They had not met
since the war, and neither had men,

had gone to Leavenworth to visit.
While there she met Charlie Hanson,
and they 500 became engaged.

Six years later Mary received a
note from her father. which read:

The only answer to her letters in
six long years. and in it not a word
of sympathy, love or fatherly forgive
ness, but instead cruel remuneration.
She buried her face in her hands and
wept tears Of disappointment and cha
grin.
A touch aroused her. Her husband
stood beside her, holding a letter
which he tossed into her lap. Through
her binding tears she read:
Sir: Leave your daughter, Nellie,
at the station next Friday. She's my
flesh and blood; you're not-since you
married agin my will. I amt got no

STATE PRESS
Wyoming's National Delegation

1t is quite natural for party papers
to speak words of praise concerning
their national delegations; it is eX-
pected. it is right, but in no state are
warm words of praise more merited
than in Wyoming. Wyoming is distin-
guished by her national delegation
and the national delegation is distin-
guished in congress because they are
from Wyoming. The reason for this
is obvious. Competent men are
placed there and retained until they
become a material part of the ma
tional history and closely identified
with the most sacred interests of a
are content in pursuing their private
business affairs because they know
that the affairs of the state are in good
hands. But the political ambitions
of the few seem, in some localities, to
disturb the quiet serenity of the
masses. When the seat of a man like
Senator C. d. Clark is threatened by
the ambitions of others. it is time for
the entire state to rise in a body and
defend their interests in defending the
Woodworking, true friend of the PEG
pie. The people regardless of what
politicians may do, should stand loyal
to the men who have made an hon
orable record in congress-, and whose
best hours have been spent in con
scientiously serving the people. There
are numerous reasons why men long
in national service should be contin-
ued uninterrupted, the very best rea-
son being that circumstances have rem
dered them most capable OF serving.
and the honors won by them should
be retained until such time as they
see fit to lay them at the feet of the
people for proper n equitable distri-
button. Senator Clark's power and
vigor we're manifest in his aggressive
work III the senate during the past six
years and the people by mutual con
sent nave decreed that he should have
no in 1905 but himself. No
man, however, can win such honors as
Senator Clark has wrested from the
iron hand of time and circumstances
and not be in the way of some ones
personal ambitions, and though good
and honorable men may aspire, the
general sentiment of the people will
tend to keep them in primary training
until the honorable career of Senator
Clark is fairly run; not that the people
love the other aspirants less but Sena-
tor Clark more. His career is not end
ed. his race is not run, and the people
of Wyoming, for the most part. are
each a standard bearer for Senator
Clark.-Lander Clipper.

PHILOSOPHICAL NOTES.
Distractions to the Law,

When the path of action is tangled,
when we can not see our duty clearly,
when we wish so ardentiy for some
one to guide and lead Us, how then
shall we tread alone our doubtful
way through the darkness2 We know
that there are some things that cloud
the reason and blur the vision, aud
make il hard to distinguish our duty
We have an ever present enemy in
our personalities that lower self
which clothes itself in a hundred iif-
ferent forms, which sometimes even
puts on the very mask of duty, and
so prevents us from seeing that in
following it, we are following not the
path of duty but the path of personal
desire. How are we here to distin-
guish which is controlling usl Is 1t
the desire nature or is it duty that
diIects} 1t is difficult to know when
we are misled when the very atmos-
pbere of the personality surrounding
us distorts the object by desire and
passion.
The only means in our power is to
take the question into the solitude of
the heart, to try to put the personal
desires aside, and to try to separate
our real selves from the personality
and then look the matter squarely in
the face with the prayer for guidances
then, in the light thus gained, the
matter will put on a different aspect
and we may more safely choose the
path which seems to be the path Of
duty, We may ever yet blunder for
we may moi yet have learned to judge
and weigh a question outside of how
it will affect us. But If we do blum
der after having used every means in
our power and striven TO see clearly,
, 1904-06-16

let us remember that the mistake was
necessary in order that in the future
clearer seeing will come. 1t was a
necessary lesson vital to our progress
that had to be learned. We may
blunder and still choose the path of
desire misled by its subtle influence.
The human heart is deceitful above
all things although we can scarcely
think it is "desperately' wicked for
it is only following out the law. We
have nos failed for we have struggled
to see the light and have resolved to
do the right. Even if in in striving
to do the right, we do the wrong, we
may rest assured that the God with
in us will correct us. Why should
we despair because we make mistakes,
when our heart is fixed on the su-
preme, when W. are striving TO do the
right" Rather we should welcome
the pain that clears the mental vision
and helps us to see Alright in the
future.
Perhaps we are too cowardly to
choose anything but the easy path
which another may tell us is the right
one while We feel it to be wrong and
we dull the divine voice within us.
We choose the lower instead of the
higher, the easier and not the difficult,
the surrender of the will Instead of
Its strengthening, and even though
the choice of another may he the bet
ter way, we have retarded our own
evolution by our failure to do that
which we felt to be right. Such Il
mistake is far more injurious than
when we blunder through the CLAM
our of desire. TO do what we be
lieve to be highest, that is the only
safe path for the spiritual aspirant,'
Nor need we expect to find the way
always plain before us. The spiritual
life is not obtained except by repeat
ed effort; nor is the effort always
crowned with success. Undaunted
perseverance is the only key to the
path of duty. We may only find it
through the path of auguish-oyer
and We again suffering follows orr
action in choosing mistakenly. OF
one thing w may be SURF that if we
earnestly desire to know the right
that knowledge will eventually be
ours even though we suffer in gaining
it. BY the constant practice of the
right as we see it, we shall surely see
more clearly as we proceed.
In these days many are coming for
ward and presenting themselves as
guides in spiritual matters and how
is IL to judge between them as to
who is able to be AN example and
guide in spiritual things. THE test
and proof of the advanced spiritual
man, fit to be the guide, the teacher,
the helper of others, is in the perfec-
ton OF the qualities that the aspirtnt
is striving to produce IN himself. He
performs perfectly what the aspirant
performs imperfectly; he i%ncarnates
the ideal which the aspirant is striv-
ing to reproduce
