THE DREAMER.

He builds as. he can, as he will,
In weakness or strength as it seems ;
And it is what it Isl for his skill
Is only the truth of his dreams.
And his dreams are as strong as his faith,
Or as weak as the fears that they own !;
And what to his soul either sayeth,
That Is, and that guides him alone.
So some ships that are stately and fair
Go down for morsel Of faith;
While some thistladown barks, light as
air,
No storm can move out of their path.

II Ill CHRONIC.

Over in Carbon county there is a
man who has been a chronic grumbler
ever since he came into the state.
Every time he hears of some little ir,
regularity in equalization of taxes, rail.
road rates or other public matters, he
rushes off TO a newspaper Office with a
long TRADE against all Thai is-and it
is wrong. of course. Those who have
read his articles have doubtless been
OF the opinion that he Is pure in his
own relations with the public and that
his household is a model of perfection.
The good book says, He hat ruleth
mis- W household is better than he
who taketh a city" Now it appears
that this man has never been able to
square himself with the foregoing bib
lical quotation. Not only has he made
an abject failure in the matter of rul-
ing his own household, but it is alleged
by a reputable paper published at the
county seat of Carbon county that he
does not make an honest return of his
property to the assessor. The Rawlins
Republican says:
"Will he continue to howl about In
equal taxation and at the same time
turn in a $4,000 ranch at less than 25
per cent of its value, and a herd OF
blooded cattle at about the same fig,
ure, or will Conness finally wake up
and let the community know that he
stands for something and that he is
something other than a chronic kicker?
Now, If Mr.. CONFESS will appear be-
fore the board OF equalization n ask
to have his land valuation raised to
40 per cent, which other land owner
are supposed to pay, and begin action
against the express company to have
the other wrong made right this paper
stands ready to stand by him in any
commendable thing he does.
THE taxation matter is particularly
fragrant as most of the land aside from
that owned by Mr.. CONFESS in the same
school district is given in at a valua'
ton of from 81 to $12 and acre while
CONFESS values his for taxation at IS.
The great majority of people who
know this prolific letter writer would
like to see him do less bowling and
come up to his own standards as pic
tured by his quill. Until he does he
stands for about as much in the com.
lmunity."
