Facing Troubles.

"a large part of the trouble of life are
unnecessary; they are created by our.
selves, or donated to US by others. If we
are making our own sorrows. let us shut
down the factory; if others are making
them for us, let ms reduce the friction of
pain to a minimum. If others are cruel,
in~considerate or unjust to us, let us, 30
far as possible, acccp, it all for what II is
worth, and ieci that no one can really
hurt us except ourselves; hut let MS ever
be made keen by this lesson, that We
never make others suffer in the way in
which we have been given pain.
There are times when tie hope that
was dearest TO MS turns to ashes as our
outstretch-d hand almost touches IT.,
when the laber of years is swept away in
q moment; when the friend upon whom
we would have counted a. on our "
right arm, proves disloyal, when our
most honest efforts, u supreme s,rug-
giles, meet defeat and, buff. ted and worn
by the waves OF failure, We are ready to
give up in despair. Here j. our oppor-
tunity for coolness, courage, calmness.
We can then raise in the dignity Of our
sclf.p,is. and the fulness Of our strength
and meet it all bravely. One sunset
does not make life, every sunset means
a new sunrise; let the sunset Of failure he
to MS but the dawn Of new purpose.

dollars bring to a man anything e
essary to his welfare OF comfort which
he could not enjoy with Y millioui
without the actual evidence Of such in
sanity before the public every day, It
would appear incredible that mei. for
money which they eau put to no rational
use. will hazard their liberty, forfeit
their peace Of mind and doom their souls
to destruction.
1t might be supposed that such ex-
ample as that Of Stensland would have
some influence in abating the unholy
lust for gain which has taken possession
Of so many people in this country. But
these warnings are lost sight Of in the
examples Of fabulous opulence which
are furnished to the country by such
models as Rockefeller, Carnegie and
other trust barons.-Kansas City Star.

The following from al exchange is
good advice: "If you would increase
your happiness and p%rolong your life,
forget your %neighbor's faults. Forget
all the Islander you have head. Forget
the fault finding and give little thought
to the cause which provoked it. Forget
all personal quarrels or histories !on
may have heard by accident, and If re.
peated would seem a thousand times
worse thar then they are. Forget the
pecuiiarities of your friends and only
remember the good p ints which make
You ioMd OF them. Obliterate every
thing terrible from Yesterday, start out
with a clean sheet today and write upon
it for sweet memories sake only those
things which are lovely and lovable.
Thus YOU will make life better worth
living.

Now, that the election is over, and
he country is ''saved'' for another

hard work for Morgan County and
Versailles they are both good prop
nSitions. Morgan county needs a

and a large immigration Of good fam

acres Of her fertile soil. She needs
cooperation and organization among
her farmers for improvement OF stock
II all kinds, and in shipping her fruits

lost money, time and labor, but they
must come. and it is better to hurry
them up a little, than to sit idle and

Robbed His Friend.

The county authorities are institut-
ing a search, which promises to be
successful, for ]. d. Callahan, former
ly Union Pacific telegraph operator at
Green River, and wanted here for the
crime of burglary and grand larceny,
for the theft of $165 in cash from his
friend, E. M. Bilbo, Union Pacific oper-
ator at Hermosa station, west of Chey-
enne says the Cheyenne Tribune.
Both Callahan and Bilbo recently re
signed their positions and met in
Cheyenne. Learning Bilbo had quite
a sum of money in his possession Cal
lahan entered his room and stole the
money. This was Saturday night. He
at once proceeded to celebrate the &C
QUESTION of wealth by acquiring a
glorious jag during which he spent $40
of the money. Yesterday morning an
other friend, J.. NJ. Ryan, a Union Pa
cific swltchman, fearing Callahan
! would lose the money, took the $95 re-
naming away from him and deposited
it with Pat Moran, the Capitol avenue
saloon keeper. After recovering from
his jag Callahan ascertained the money
had been deposited with Moran, went
to his house, woke him up and secured
the return of the s95, after which he
left town. Only a short time after
Callahan left Bilbo entered the saloon
and told Moran how he had been rob.
bed of $165 by some one, when the
facts became known and the county
authorities began an investigation
which soon resulted in the discovery
that Callahan had left for Sidney. The
officers at that place have been notified
to a~pprehend him and it is expected
he will he in custody within twenty
four hours.
