this brief article to advocate the just

of this country, although it has afforded

the fact that when broken down in

may rely to regain health, strength and
the power to fully enjoy life.

Saved by Hope.

We are saved by hope. Never man
hoped too much, or repented that he
had hoped. The plague is that we
don't hope in God half enough. Hope
never hurt any one-never yet in
terfered with duty; nay, it always
strengthens to the performance OF
duty, gives courage, and clears the
judgment. Hope is the most rational
thing in the universe."-George Mac
Donald.

overcome them belong to a world
which passeth not away.-Henry M.

therefore, the recognition of the dignity and tender sacredness of moth

greatest treasures-rHE WOMEN WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED LARGELY TO

An attempt was made Thursday ev-

ever. was a miserable failure. Two
men attacked the safe with a sled@e

knocking off the dial and handle of the
safe. Soon afterwards a resident liY-
ing nehr COlOna came up the track Oh
his way home and noticed the TWO mel

firing a shot at him they fled down the
tracks. The police in different cities
near here were notified and are now on

of this city was called to ColOna yes
terday TO open the safe. Several nun
dred dollars and number of valuable
papers were still in il. The burgla :
evidently were preparing 70 blow the

found nearby. Nh FiebiS believes the
men 10 be tramps. as they evidently
had no knowledge of safe construction
and their work was that of amateurs.
