that he was the only man that God

tainly mistaken for there is another

though I do certainly believe there
ought to be a change in our munici-

Bridgeport, and W. S. Sinsel, of
Central City, Neb., met. They had
not seen one another for AZ years,

Life'S TriUiOLitieS.

WHEN one considers the amount of time and
worry which is devoted to inconsequentia issues he
wonders at the absurdness of it ALL He seldom adj
mits that man can act seriously and lose his self
control over mere trifes. But when these mere
tries loom across his own horizon he, too loses cast
and is transformed from mild tempered person into
an irrational being
Most of us, however, look too hopelessly upon
our difficulties. Instead of mastering them in a
dgnifed way we act like weaklings We waver
between right and wrong SO continually that we
create obstacles which should not exist These OBJ
stacles and the battles which waged because OF
them, sometimes assume proportions not warranted
by the circumstances which created them Today
we may feel like could conquer the world but to-
morrow our imagination some trivial incident may
plunge us into battle with self or with others-a
warfare in which nothing is achieved but ignomin-
ious reimbursement After mature self examination
we become ashamed of the incident and wonder how
we could have acted so ridiculously.
These little obstacles part OF the days
work. No mans pathway is entirely devoid Of them
He who exhibits the most tact in dealing with them
generally manages to escape their worst features.
