BeQueathed a
Great Charity

has accomplished during its long and
honorable history and everybody will
rejoice that the orphan girls of the
State are presently to be cared for at
q period when they are in most need
of help The school will admirably
supplement- Girard college and will
unquestionably prove the temporal and
eternal salvation of many girls left
parentless in their childhood Boys
are far less helpless than girls under
such circumstances.
1t will be perceived that the project
ed school is to be under distinctively
Christian influences while the Sec
tartan and the bigot are to be exclud-
ed. This will give its future pupils
the benefit of religious influence of
the broadest and most helpful sort
while leaving them free to select their
own denominational affiliations after
they leave the institution.

WHAT DOTH 1T PROFIT?

The other day H. p Frothingham who was the largest
broker in the United States and the who negotiated
call loans for many of the New York banks jumped out
of window while delirious and killed himself
rockingham s mental condition brought about by
overwork, which produced nervous prostration.
For several years his income has been 100000 year
which large sum he made by putting himself to long
strains upon his vitality.
Poor foolish
And type of many other foolish ones of like sort
Because
What shall it profit if he gain 100000 year
and lose his health or his life!
What shall it profit if he makes money
than others and in doing ianges the wires of his
system and skaters his body into wreck fit for
sanitarium?
The poorest mathematician can figure that equation
Then why do men go this pace? For money merely?
Not altogether. They want money not so much for
moneys sake as for what money will buy.
Up to certain point they want money in order to
maintain their families and provide for old age. When
they reach that point why do they go beyond?
Because money in these days, buys recognition place
influence, standing, power.
Money buys what men call success. And so, after
gets all he really needs he is hungry for be-
he wants to succeed after the manner of men.
The pity of it and the danger Of ito the man, and
to society.
Pity that should kill themselves to succeed in
way that is unworthy in way that perpetuates false
standard in way that calls for needless sacrifice.
If men would work to better standards, if they would
work not simply to make living but to make life, it
would not matter much should they fling away their
strength Because to die for worthy is glory
for
If should lose himself in lofty service for his
feows-in service of nobility and usefulness-why,
that would be worth the while. That would be heroism.
That would be knghtly sacrifice of self.
But to lose vitality and manhood and sanity in wild
mad, over-reaching clutch for dollars

GoLD-WHAT DOES 1T MEAN TO YOU?
1old-what does it mean to YOU?

God-wha does it to you?
Mrs. Russell Sage has millions of toars of it. In her
paatia home surrounded by the food of gold her hus
bands parsmony accumulated, besieged by army Of
beggars of high and low degree she is trying to give away
wisely that which the Wall St fnancer devoted all his
life to gathering together.
God-as metal it is enough. 1t is found al
most everywhere. They take it from mud and dirty clay
and poisonous rock. 1t is only standard by which
have agreed to determine the value of other material
things.
Yet since the world begun have fought and plotted
and betrayed for it, In its they have endured untold
hardshps hunger and thirst Aured by its glitter they
have sold themselves body and soul More desoaton has
been wrought by greed for gold than by the of love-
Gold-what does it mean to you?
You want it. You work for it, 1t is one of the great
est mainsprngs Of human life If you are wise You are
saving of the gold you get If you are miser at
in its yellow sheen, its tnke its glitter, like Gaspard like
Matthias like Russell Sage.
Why do you want it? Why do you work for it? Why
do you save it? What would you do to get it?
The answer comes very close to your human happiness
If you love for itself you will hoard it and grasp it
and play with it Gaspard did Matthias did as Rus
sell Sage did. If you it that you may be able
to squander it, indulge your lower with it. with it
make yourself less beautiful and pure than # was
itself in its original state then the time is very apt to
come when you will cheat for it, lie for it, steal for it. If
you would acquire it for the sake Of those you love or
the sake of world of fellow around you then your
pursuit of it will always be that of true man. with clear
eyes and clean hands and pure heart
Gold-what does il mean to YOU?

KEEP CLOSE TAB
ON YOURSELF
MARION ASHE.

If you have never kept a diary,
start today. It's lots of fun and
it's interesting. In after years, too
you will find it comforting, like
good friend to whom you can al
ways turn in time Of trouble and
find good bits of advice from past
experiences.
Five years ago I started to keep
my diary. The history of every
day of the five years of which /
was the actor set down conscienti-
ousl, recording all my woes and
worries, and sorrows and joys.
Fancy how interesting | find my
diary now when | go rummaging
back into the past to find out the
particulars of some event that in
memory time has all but erased.
That is the real advantage of keep
ing a diary.
Then, too. the influence it exer-
cises over ones daily doings, if it
faithfully records. them, is always
a help and a guide into the way of
doing better things. When one re-
members during the day that his
daily thoughts and deeds must be
set down in the little book at the
careful in his thoughts and actions
These are the advantages of keep
ing a diary. In after years yau will
find it profitable; you will be able
to measure your thought develop
ments, your mental growth. The
daily criticisms of yourself will
enable you to better know your
self and to judge your actions. He
who can Judge himself honestly can
judge any man.

Aoki was twice minister to Ber-
lin, and for a short time held the
same post in Great Britain. The
viscountess is a member of the Ger
man royalty. He was minister of
foreign affairs during the boxer up
rising, and displayed his sovereign S
friendly feeling for the Americans
in many ways. His activity did
much to settle the problem.
Aoki next became a member of
the privy council, finally coming to
America as the personal representa-
tive of his sovereign.

let Bic Contract.

Contract for S,OO1 feet Of ditch work
has been let to H l.. Buck by the North
Delta Canal Co. This will complete the
ditch to Tongue Creek and will clean up
all heavy work on the job. Mr.. Buck
mas just finished a large and difficult
portion of the canal in a most credl-
table manner and he will Immediately
apply himself to the new contract and
push it thru with all possible speed.
Work on the big tunnel is going along
satisfactorily and everything now points
10 the canals completion by August |.
The write-up of this enterprise in
last week 5 issue was a revelation to
many people. To those who knew
there was a North Delta canal its early
completion was a surprise, while hun

Death Of Isaac S. Rowex.

Isaac S. Rowell was found dead in
the roadside Sis miles north of Cedar
edge about three o'clock Tuesday after
noon, the left side of his skull being
crushed in. As stated by our Cedar
edge correspondent, it was at first
thought Mr.. Rowell's death had been
caused by runaway accident in which
he was thrown from his buggy and
killed, but the coroner's inquest, held
by DIR. C. II. Burgin Wednesday after
noon. reaches a different conclusion
which is that Mr.. Rowell was stricken
with apoplexy and the horses being
thus given free rein, ran away and
threw the dead man out onto the rocks.
Evidence which makes this theory seem
plausible is given by DR.. l. F. Burgin
Of Cedaredge who prescribed for MIR.
Rowell on the day of his death. After
the patient had left his office DR.. Burgin
stated that Mr.. Rowell would not live
long and gave ~ his opinion that he
would die Of apoplexy.

A Fair This Year Sure.

The Delta County Fair Assn. is to be
reorganized, additional shares sold to
increase the capital stock Sl.500 to
S2. 900 above what it is now. the grounds
improved and a three days fair held
Sept II. y and l3. This program was
decided on at the Business Mems Assn.
meeting last Monday night when the
subject was brought up and discussed
with the result that practically every
body present expressed themselves in
favor OF holding the meeting and
assisting financially and otherwise to
make it a success. A committee was
appointed to solicit additional stock and
at this meeting some 30shares at $40 90
each were subscribed.
The Association owns 10 acres of
land. on which is good half mile track.
grand stand. stock pens and sheds and
other buildings. There is an indebted
ness of about $500 against the property
and it is worth s., 500 or more. Those
who take stock will not be giving
money but will acquire an interest in
property that is worth 100 cents on the
dollar.
Delta county should have great. big
elaborate exhibit of her extensive pro-
ducts at least once year and at the
county capitol is the logical place to
| hold it. No county in the state produc
es finer quality or larger diversity OF
products. We can hold successful
fair every year in Delta. The display
Of products will prove of benefit in
showing others what we produce and i,
will also be of benefit in bringing to
our own minds a realization of the
quality and magnitude of our products.
Everybody is requested to boost for
the Delta fair and to prepare something
to exhibit. Plan to spend three days
with your neighbors and friends ir
showing them what the soil has yielded
under your guidance and in seeing the
result of their efforts.
\ fine program of races and other
amusements will, of course, be carried
ont
