It is but the old thought that genius is but an infinite capacity for taking pains or Carlyle'S, "Do the duty which Hest nearest thee, which thou knowest to be duty. Thy second duty will already have become clearer" It made Robin toiler without vacations, justifyiDg the old adage that "All work and no play makes Jack dull boy," by defying Sir Walter Scott's wise advice, "Mfx hon. est mirth with thoughts divine. 1" However, 1t made an honest workman, one who looked at his employers in tereSts and not at the clock and one who never found time nor disposition to strike
 Among Robins early memories looms a Sunday in which his mothers father came from his neighboring par ish to occupy Rev Richard South pull pit by exchange. The grandfather was of the New England type of cler- gymen. Never receiving over $500 year salary, economy and wise invest ment left an estate of some thousands of dollars. He might have echoed an- other Connecticut preacher in saying, My friends, some believe that all will be saved, but we hope for better things" His God spoke from Sinai as we'll as from Calvary and Justice balanced Mercy.

A SONG OF FAITH.

My God. the spring of all my joys, The life of my delights, The glory of my brightest days, And comfort of my nights! In darkest shades. if thou appear, My dawning is begun; Thou art my souls bright morning star, And thou my rising sun. The opening heavens around me shine With beams of sacred bliss, If JeshlS shows his mercy mine And whispers I am his. My soul would leave this heavy clay At that transporting word, Run up with joy the shining way, To see and praise my Lord Fearless of hell and ghastly death. Md break through every foe; The wings of love and arms of faith Would bear me conqueror through.

Any man or woman in this section who wishes to engage in . business that will net them from three to five dollars day from the start, without the investment of any capital, should write The First National Nurseries, of Rochester, N. Y., at once, as they wish to make contract with some one immediately. We understand they have nurseries and seed farms of over 1000 acres, probably one of the largest obtaining. The many new horticul- tural journals like Country Life in America and the hundreds of local civic societies, devoted to the beautt- flying of our suburban towns and vfl- lages throughout the country, are creating an enormous demand for fancy ornamental stock of every de- scription, and a good reliable man or woman, representing . reliable com- pany, can make g very satisfactory salary from the start. A position of this kind is capable of the largest re- turns.

THANKSGIVING THOUGHTS, Ioo,
BY HELEN A. TAYLOR.

BY HELEN A. TAYLOR. Glad Thanksgiving is coming, we well
 come it's cheer, -. A time-honored day from ancestors
 dear; ./. When the friends all around from near
 and from far Find the home friends in waiting, the
 doors all ajar To welcome the loved ones that on
 them have a claim, The children and grandchildren bear
 ing their name. November then if in most surly mood, Is overlooked wholly in it's Thanksgiv-
 ing good. We take of the bounties God and Ma
 ture have given, And return grateful thanks to Our
 Father in Heaven. The year has been fruitful, the crops
 have been good, Bountiful provision for nourishing
 food. = @. The markets made ready for pressing To have things most needed all ready
 at hand. The corn, stripped of it's covering, all
 golden awaits The turn of the mill wheel for cook,
 and the plates, To make into pudding long famous for
 feast. a..,. And the et fine 1asI9 pumpkin pie not last nor In the cellar and stoRehouse vegeta-
 bles stored For call on demand there use not tg-

 heed.
 Enjoying perhaps more bOuntiful feed, Till in turn they are called to supply
 others need. The fruits from all Glimes in the mar
 kets have place, The orange and lemon, the sweet,
 juicy grape, Bananas and figs and confections ga- To tempt we'll the palate what could not ask more. Say nothing of apples of popcorn and nuts, What store house of goodies Dame When the dinner is over and night comes apace, For visitors many must find each a place.
 The evening passed with stories, mu. sic and games, Some for the children and some for the danes. The men sit apart, perhaps for a smoke, For social enjoyment with talk and with joke, And when the day ended to retire file They thank the good Lord for this | Thanksgiving day. l Great Plain, Danbury.

The storekeeper depends wholly and entire ly upon the merit of the goods and the of the price to attract customers, and my business bas ever been conducted upon the same common sense basis. To my mind, no other course is either dignified or business like, and the character of the custom CTS which have attracted to myself during these six years shows that the most conservative element in this community approves of the methods to which have above referred, and recognizes me as having legitimate and permanent place in their business world.
 If you are possible investor, treat me as you would any other business man, by coming in and talking these matters over. If, however, you haven't the time at your disposal for personal visit, or If you may possibly be under the impression that if you come to see me I will persuade you to do some thing which you would afterwards re- Rret, let me put your name on my mail- ing list, and through this medium at least be able to present few ideas and facts fos your serious consideration.

which reads as follows:
Through the columns Of the Au-
gusta Eagle. we gladly report our
selves TO our many friends in and
around Augusta. III. After nearly
a years strenuous work in church
duties, we we're granted the usual
vacation, and We are spending the
same in Manitou, viewing the Won

canon.
We are in a cottage at the mouth
of the Ute Pass. and near at hand
are Eagle. Red. Iron and Green

On August 18th at PIG p. m. a
party of nine of US started for the
Peak to witness a sunrise the next
morning. Tourists who go on foot

summit and victory. The ascent

across the awful depths the upper

We rested a few minutes on a
rock. and as We passed into the sum-
