One little rose to her while she is liv-
ing is worth vastly more to her than
all the flowers you can pile on her
coffin after she is dead. One little
kind word is worth more to her than
all the money you can expend at her
funeral. Your mother may be grow
ing old; if so, love her, be kind to her.
She loves you and will do more for
you than any other person living; so
take her as the best friend you have
or will have.

Many are the rough places we tread
from the cradle to the grave; many
are the sighs and tears, discourage
ments, but we can extract joy from
the most desert places on the way and
amidst the most piercing heartaches
by the thought that we have made
others happy and that there is perpet-
ual morning only little way off. At
every step of the way we travel let us
gather all the flowers that bloom and
revel amid all the beauty there is, but
never forgetting the sweetest and best
happiness that can possibly thrill the
soul is that which comes from con-
sciousness of loving and being loved;
and we can never love or be loved
unless we are willing to live for Others.

Boys, be Industrious. The world
wants earnest workers. God never
intended for anyone to be idle. The
more work you do, the sweeter will
be your sleep and brighter and happi-
er your holidays. Take off your coat
and make dust in the world. But
we would not repress your buoyant
spirits or shut you out from all that is
glad and happy in, this beautiful
world. We would like to pass an Or
dinance for each neighborhood to
have large playground, where the
boys could meet, at least once week,
and enjoy holiday. We would have
1t just as pleasant as it could be made
shaded by lovely trees, plenty of soft
grass to tumble on and singing birds
overhead. This will be so much MIC
er for our boys than lettering on
street corners. We would have the
old fashioned games our grandfathers
played and all modern improvements
for developing the muscles. But, lis
ten boys, we would not have any pas
time you would blush foryour parents
or sisters to witness, such as scorch
and wither every high and noble as
piration, degrade the soul and pre-
pare the way for many of the sins
that now corrupt society. We would
not have that lovely spot desecrated
by an oath or cigarette.

We say to our friends, one and all,
cultivate the home virtues, the house.
hold beauties of existence. Endeavor
to make the little circle of domestic
life a cheerful, an intelligent, kind
ly and a hapy one. Whatever may
go wrong in the world ofbusiness and
trade, however arduous may be the
struggle for fame or fortune, let
nothing mar the purity Of reciprocal
love, or throw into its harmonious ex-
istence the apple of discord.

Local News Notes.

Three days last week, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, the wind kept up an
average velocity of forty eight miles an
hour, and at sometimes attained a speed
of sixty miles, for few minutes. Trees
in the city were stripped of limbs and
it was about as disagreeabIe three
days as the country ever experienced.
The theory that the insurgent victory
at Sioux Falls had anything to do with
this strong wind, following SO close
after the convention, is all q mistake.
The insurgent victory and the three
days hard blow following SO close after
were both a dispensation of Divine
Providence, and neither should be
blamed to the other.
One of the most important real estate
sleals closed in this city for some time
past was the sale Of the two lots south

PLAINLY the Choice.

Huron Huronite: The republican
state convention has followed out the
expressed will of the republicans of the
state as heretofore when assembled in
convention. Notwithstanding all the
ante convention talk about the machine
and organization the convention was
run just as nearly in accord with the
manner of previous conventions as
possible, the only difference being that
jim Elliott, Robert j Gamble, Philo
Hail. and few other members of the
old machine had parted company with
it and joined the new machine and
these men laid the plans of the conven-
ton as heretofore. The liuronite be-
lieves in organization and does not OBJ
ject to this manner of running conven-
tons, but speaks OF it at this time only
to call attention to what was claimed
before the convention, namely, that
the overthrow of the old machine only
meant the placing in power of a new
one, Happily for all, however, the stall,
warts accept the result gracefully, and
will be found giving the same loyal sup
port to the new machine as it formerly
gave to the old one.
The ticket on the whole will meet
with the approval of the people al

In many countries and even so near
as Scotland the pig has served the pur-
pose Of a beast of draught and has &C
tually been harnessed to the pillow In
company with cows and horses. In
Scotland also early In the last century
pigs were sometimes made to serve as
chargers and proved most doclle

About 1915 a London gentleman Gre
ated a sensation by driving fourth
hand of pigs through the streets, and
thirty years later an old farmer caused
amusement to a great crowd In the
market place at St Adams by entering
1t In chaise drawn by four trotting
hogs. After two or three turns round
the market he drove to the Woolpack
yard, where his curious steeds were I'M
harnessed and led away to be RECALLED
with trough of beans and wash.
There have also been sporting pigs.
An old account of a black SOW which
Richard Tooner, one of the royal keep

ALFRED BELTS ESTATE.
He Left Millions for the Good of Fell
low Men.

London.-Owing to premature state
ments regarding the will of the late
Alfred Belt, the South African million
aire, the executor of Mr.. Belts estate
have given out the exact terms of the
public bequest, without however, dis
closing the amount of the fortune left,
which, it is believed, 1t will take con-
siderable time to estimate, owing to
the fluctuations in the price or shares
owned by Mr.. Belt. He is said to have
left $125,00O,O00.
The sums enumerated reach the
vast total of $9,675,000, not incluulng
the value of the estate bequeathed to
his native city of Hamburg, or the art
treasures bestowed on the national
gallery and the museums of London
and Hamburg. 1t is, however believ-
ed that the aggregate will be not far
short of $12, 100000.
Trustees to Handle 100000.
The most notable provision of the
will is that a body of trustees get con-
troll of $6,000,000 to be used in the de-
velopment and construction of means
of communication, transmission by
railway, telegraphs and wireless tele-
graphy and telephones in Rhodesia
and upon the Cape-to-Cairo railroad,
which, with other requests for South
Africa, demonstrate that Mr.. Belts in
terest in the welfare of the country in
which his fortune was made was equal
to that of his old associate, Cecil
| Rhodes.
He leaves the property known as
Borstlers Jagar, near Hamburg, to the
city of Hamburg, to be held for the
people.
