1t is the little things that make
up our lives.
The world is filled with failures
and pessimists because so many of
us dream all our days of doing great
things, yet neglect to do the little
things that lie right at hand.
Some day we are going to achieve
some great business success and be-
come very rich, we think. But we
neglect to save the pennies and dimes
and to cultivate the little habits of
frugality and providence, and so we
remain poor.
The richest man and the richest
corporations are not above caring Tor
the pennies and even the fractions
of pennies,
The greatest scientists are not
above study of the most minute and
seemingly insignificant facts In ma
ture.
Those who learn nothing or ac-
cumulate nothing in life are failures
because they have neglected the little
things.

a shovelful at time. When finished
it will be the greatest work of civil
engineering in the world, but it is
to be accomplished only by series
of little things.
The greatest buildings are laid up
a single stone at time. 1t is Of no
avail to us that we can dream of
mighty structures. if we have not
the patience and the humility to do
80 little a thing as the laying Of a
single stone.
The obstacles to our success are
not great things, but little ones-so
little that we do not notice them, or,
noting, despise them.
For want of a nail the shoe was
was lost, for want of a horse the
battle was lost" There are volumes
of grim truth in that old saying.
For a commonplace instance of
neglect take that of a woman's letter
writing. Many times a woman would
answer a letter if she had a pen at
hand Many times she would write
if she had an envelope Many letters
remain forever unsent because at the
right moment there was no stamp.
And in the same manner because
little things come in the way and
stop us or turn us aside, we fail in
many things of moment and become
known as weaklings.
We live not by years, nor even by
days, or hours or minutes even, but
by seconds. Time is divided into
small spaces, and at the present
nowhere is time only for small
deed
But the seconds add into hours and
the hours into years. And our little
deeds. too, If we faithfully do them
accumulate into great events.
1t is the only way the ordinary life
can become filled with usefulness and
success.

Now these millions are not as

These are the very corporations

They are corrupting politics in one

wealth in few hands. They are great
factors in piling enormous personal
fortunes in the laps of some few and
in leaving to the multitude the heri-
tage of an increasingly bitter com
petition for living. They are of
the force that will destroy this re-
public, if it shall be destroyed.
And this is the way the great in
surance trio-the Equitable, the

employing the money paid into it
by the policy holders all over the

get the monopoly monster off their

less present matured plans count for
naught, Missoula will have a sugar
factory with a capacity of $1,000, 900
pounds within the present year. An
enthusiastic body of representative
business men met with Theodore
Hapke, representing the Detroit Su-
the chamber of commerce last eve
ming, when the matter was gone over
in detail. Mr.. Hapke, during the sew
eral days that he has been in the
city, has gone over the matter very
thoroughly and he is convinced that
the beet industry may be made a
successful and a profitable one in
this section.
The proposition of coal for fuel was
discussed at some length, but it ap-
pears that no great difficulties will
be encountered in this direction, as
it is learned from an authentic source
that the Northern Pacific win lend a
helping hand to this industry, which
it is inclined to foster, in the matter
OF rates.
One proposition, however that may
be somewhat of stumbling block is
the question of lime, 5000 tons of
which is necessary for the successful
manufacture of sugar from the beet
each season.
There is lime within close proxim-
ity of Missoula, which many people
are inclined to believe would answer
all purposes, yet it is matter that
must be thoroughly investigated.
The chamber will arrange for rep
resentatives to escort Mr.. Hapke to
all points throughout the Bitter Roc:

PATRIOTS DAY
CELEBRATED.

BOSTON, April 19.-Patriots' day
was generally observed throughout
Massachusetts today, the celebra-
tons recalling the old traditions and
historic incidents of the revolution.
AS usual the day was made an oc-
CASTOR for the holding of many sports
and outdoor exercises in Boston and
vicinity. The sporting event of the
day to which most interest attached,
was the annual Marathon road race.
Almost 100 A. A. u. runners took
part in the race, which started at
Ashland, with the finishing point in
Boston, distance of 25 miles. There
also were cycle races, baseball
games, cricket matches and other
sports.
AS usual the principal patriotic
celebration of the day was at Lex
ington and Concern. In Boston all
the old houses of historic interest
were gayly decorated and were kept
open all day for the inspection of
visitors.
