Hill Quits the BurIinuton

An innocent looking circular is
sued to the agents of the Burling-
ton company last week conveyed
the important information that the
Hill interests had by mutual con-
sent abrogated the lease of the
Burlington system, and that it re-
verted to it's original management,
the old G. b. & @. company. Of
course, the circular did not use Mr..
Hills name, but it conveyed infor-
nation that will be gladly received
throughout Burlington territory.
Wherever the Burlington serves
the people, this news will be hailed
with delight, for the old Burling-
ton company was accommodating
and progressive, while under the
Hill management the policy has
been reactionary in the extreme.
Not only that, but there has appar-
emily been no attempt to accommo-
date the public along it's lines. We
shall look forward to better things
under the restoration" and hope
we won't be disappointed. Union

Some Evening Reveries.

luenCS, CASHIERS ana even senators
are today wearing prison garbs,
who one year ago were leaders of
men. A desire for wealth is com
Imendable. No young man should
allow himself to be discouraged nor
his ambition to be dampened by
the present common outcry against
wealth. The opportunities which
riches afford the possessor for do
ing good in this country are so nu-
merous and ample that wealth,
properly used, may be the means of
making up the most admirable
characters, while those who are in
clined to depart from the path of
rectitude would do so as quickly in
one condition as in another. To
save money and amass a fortune, if
done with proper motive, is not
only a .laudable ambition, but a
duty. It is a duty to ones self,
ones family and the community in
which one lives. It is providing
for old age, for calamity in busi-
ness, or sickness, for the means of
helping the poor and relieving the
oppressed. There can be no better
instruction given young man than
that which impresses a true appre-
citation of the worth of money.
Such an early impression would
have saved many a man and many
a family from serious misfortune,
discomfort, unhappiness and even
crime. The making of money and
the saving Of money, as distinguish
ed from the miserly love of money
which is said to be the root of all
evil, should be the aim of all young
men who start out in life for them
iselyes. Fhey inelude habits of in-
dustry that lead to contentment |
and often ward off dissipation,
want and future misery. 1t was
not the gathering in of wealth that
has sent so many leading men to
prison; it was the unlawful manner
in which they endeavored to reap
their harvest. All the wealth
young man can honestly accumu-
late will do him more good than
harm.
If we were asked a recipe for
cheerfulness, we would say, hum
bly, enjoy the good gifts of God,
love those around you tenderly, re-
alize that amiability is a binding
virtue and that we are bound to
1iffuse joy around us in our homes.
But there is just one more item in
our prescription: we must be will
ing to unbend, even to stoop to a
little harmless folly. A love for
will encourage this; the
yery presence Of these true but un- {
assuming friends will do our hearts
rood. We may talk nonsense to s
hem; they introduce an element of !,
Intellectual repose. Dogs, cats, II
lorses, poultry, are so many con-
ributions to the gaiety and sim
'licity of our daily life. We can :
