PRIDE AND SIMPLICITY IN THE INTER
COURSE OF MEN.

| PRIDE AND SIMPLICITY IN THE INTER
COURSE OF MEN
1T would perhaps be difficult to find
more convincing example than
pride to show that the obstacles to
= better, stronger, serener life are
rather In us than In circumstances
The diversity and, more than that, the
contrasts In social conditions give rise
Inevitably to all sorts of conflicts. Yet,
In spite of this, how greatly would
social relations be simpllfed IL we put
another spirit into mapping out our
plan of outward necessities! BE well
persuaded that II IL not primarily diff,
ferences Of class and occupation, diff,
ferences In the outward manifesto
tions OF their destlnies, which embroI
men, II such were the case, we should
find an idyllic peace reignlng among
colleagues and all those whose inter
ests and lot are virtually equivalent.
On the contrary, as every one knows,
the most violent shocks come when
equal meets equal, and there is no
war worse than civil war, But that
which above all things else hinders
men from good understanding is pride

first of the pride of the great

That he possesses great fortune does
not disturb me, unless | am badly dis

rich, like himself-this is what dis
turbs me, and righteously. He heaps
suffering upon me needlessly. He hui

what is noblest, that asserts itself in
the face Of this offensive pride. Do
not accuse me of envy. feel none,
II is my manhood that is wounded.
We need not search far TO illustrate
these ideas. Every man Of any ac-
Quaintance with life has had numerous
experiences which will justify our
dictum in his eyes.
In certain communities devoted to
material interests the pride Of wealth
dominates TO such degree that men
are quoted like values in the stock
market The esteem In which man
Is held is proportionate to the contents
Of his strong box. Here society" is
made up of big fortunes, the middle
class of medium fortunes. Then come
people who have little, then those who
have nothing. All intercourse is regu-

Range EXpl0ueS.

Thursday morning shortly after fire
had been kindled in the range at the
home of V. NJ. Thomas on Watauga
avenue a terrible explosion occurred
aud Mrs. Thomas and baby had a mir
aculous escape with their lives, having
just passed out Of the kitchen when
the accident happened. The water back
in the range being frozen caused the
disaster and the range is a complete
wreck. Some pieces of iron were
blown into the ceiling and the plaster
ing all over the kitchen is shattered
and will have to be renewed entirely.
Every dish on the kitchen table was
broken and the room looks like sue
cessful effort had been made to dyna-
mite the car.

GEORGE MINAHAN HURT

George Minahan, who has charge
Of the Consolidated Company's dam,
fell, Wednesday, on the rocks below
the dam, and his left ankle was
severely spr1ined. Mr.. Minahaa was
on the rocks below the dam, and was
locking for tool that had been lost
last year. The rocks upon which he
stood were wet and slippery, and as
he reached out his foot slipped and he
fell onto the rocks. After he had
regained his feet he walked for ways
but had to be helped off the dam.
DR.. Ridgman examined the ankle
and pronounced it bad sprain.
Mr. Minahan is the one who fell
into the sluiceway of the dam last
September, and was carried down
onto the rocks, and escaped with q
broken limb and some severe bruises.
After this fall and wonderful escape
it was five months before he could
work again. It was three months
after he had returned to work that
this second accident befell him. he
thinks that the ankle was weak from
the old hurt, and but for that he
would have teen unharrhed. as his
fall was short one.

FAIR GROUNDS BEING
MADE INTO A PARK
Property Of the City Beinf
Cleared up and Repaired.

Alderman Porter reports that the
cleaning up and repairing of the old
fair ground property is progressing
finely, and that the grounds have a
wonderfully improved appearance.
The work is being done by Antoine
Laska, and is being done in a
thoroughly good manner.
The old fair grounds are being put
into state of repair as though for a
park, thing which Grand Rapids
lacks in making it thoroughly modern
city. There is hardly city of three
thousand people in the state where
there is not some attempt to have
park, even though it is not a very
extensive affair. Grand Rapids is q
city Of seven thousand, and no park
is in existance here. The park ques-
tion has been agitated from time to
time, but nothing definite has ever
