en before every wind, and wrecked at

barren country, only to discover that
their energies and strength have been
exhausted for naught; that the tree Of

years Of our study and toll 10 youth, IL
we 20 out in life with no well defined idea
Of our future work. There is no happy
conjunction of circumstances that will
arrange them into an imposing structure
and give it magnificent proportions.
Carlyle tells us tha., "The weakest
living creature by concentrating his
lowers on a single object can accom-
plsh something; whereas the strongest,
by dispensing his over many, may fail
to accomplish anything"
No one can pursue worthy object
steadily aud persstently with all tho
powers of his mind aud yet make
life a failure. Many failures are due to
the fact there has been more than one
object present TO the mind, double
vision in place Of u single picture before
q single eye. Secondary considerations
will confuse our mind and thwart our
I purpose while on the other hand an On.
wayering aim will carry us rapidly. and

Of being diverted by the detractions or

he, who works with that immurable de.
termination will discharge his duty un-
affected by the hindrauces by which
others are delayed.
The arrow shot from the bow does
not wander about to see what it can hit
ON its way, but flies straight TO the
mark. The magnetic needle does not
point to all the lights in the heavens to
see which it likes best. They all attract
it. The sun dazzles, the meteor beck

steadily to the North Star; for while
tie other stars must course with untir-

through all the ages, the North Star
alone, distant beyond computation re-
mains stationary for uunumbered ages.
So al, along the path Of life other lum-
inaries will beckon to lead Us from our
cherished aim-from the couse OF truth !
and duty; but may each member of this
class of '05 resolve TO let no moons hIch /

AN uNwAvnRINo AIM.
Graduating Essay By Miss rlsy
Sanford

/ Cauioha
Not many things indiffereptly, but
one thing supremely is the demand Of
the hour. To scatter eforts in this in
tense, concentrated age, is to lose hope
Of SUCCESS. The mind is naturally q
yagrsnt, prone TO wander into all sorts
OF by ways, unless kept steadily and re-
solutely in the path of an unwavering
aim However. when firm foundation
has been built for the path that is be
tween us and our cherished ideals, and
| when AN unwayering aim beams before
us as a guiding star TO our destination
then is 1t that the mind is under
the control of a great purpose and all
the lesser objects can happily be placed
under tribute as vassas.
What sight more thrilling than that
of n human being absorbed, taken pos
session of by some grand conception and
forgetting every thing selse until the
daring achievement is wrought? Com
forts, cOnveniences aud even Injuries
come trooping into the homes of the
common people and men bask in the
sunshine Of prosperity, forgetful often
that it was simply the single eye, the
strenuous purpose of great soul that
wrought it. 1t is indeed, well for US
that such souls are not easily daunted
or iutimidated. 1t is interesting to note
the sway Of a great purpose over the
soul, aud its power to win men from
minor considerations, which, with men
generally count for so much and like
wise how the strength Of II great pur-
pose has enabled men to triumph over
obstacles and to scorn difficulty and
danger! 1t is undeniably true that di.

vision becomes blurred, the energies

Mr.. AMMAN would make an excellent
mayor. There are those however, who
fear that he wouldn't be a very good
vote puller from the Mormon side OF
the house, on account Of old bitter
nesses, which may yet remain as
echoes of the past. The Mormon PEG
pie, however, have shown that they
were very forgiving, and have stuck

elected men to Office who years before
had been their bitterest opponents.

lican party is urging M. II. Walker
for the mayoralty nomination. MI

Physician Declares There Is Peril In

THE utmost care should be exer-

advised cleanliness in all things as a
preventive Of disease from animal
