A FEW THOUGHTS.

Learn to live right. You'll be able to
die all right.
Few men nre often right, and no man
is always right.
Be ashamed to allow your prejudices
to dominate you.
One of the most difficult discoveries
for any man to make Is the fact that
his own opinions are not always In
fallible.
DO your own thinking. Don't believe
thing because some great man has
believed 1t. Every great man that has
ever lived has made many mistakes.
Sometimes the greater the, man the
greater his mistakes. Besides, no man
is so very Walter Hurt in Gull

destructive missiles whirling through

When the spur ceased to conceal
their movements further, halt was
made until every straggler had gain

Colonel John again addressed them

household management and making
them proficient in home duties. She
advertises for the daughters of pro-

with sum approximating 81 200, the
average yearly salary of young men
of their class and the men they are
likely to marry.
With this sum they are expected to
cover the living expenses of two per-
sons for year, rent, taxes of all
kinds, food, clothing and sundries,
and to do it to the best advantages Is

all the railroads centering in Chicago

similar demands some time ago, but
the two movements are independent

the whole organized strength of the

part represented by the Switchmens S
