BILE thousands believe themselves
clothed in gold when they are only
thinly plated and the copper shows
through in many places. The
wisest are comparatively ignorant
and thousands of men who have
grand ideas of their own abilities
will some day wake up to the real
ization that they have been labor
ing under a large sized delusion.
Many a young mans life is guild
ed by bright dreams that come in
the early stage of the game, but
later he finds that these dreams
are only empty, and o, how little
is the change when it comes.

A TOAST TO LAUGHTER.

Here's to laughter, the sunshine
of the soul, the happiness OF the
heart, the leaven of youth, the priv
ilege of purity, the echo of innocence,
the treasure of the humble, the
wealth of the poor, the bead OF the
.cup,of pleasure; it dispels detection,
banishes blues, and mangles melan-
choly; for it's the foe of woe, the
destroyer of depression, the enemy OF
grief; it is what kings envy the
peasants, plutocrats envy the poor,
the guilty envy the innocent; it's the
sheen on the silver of smiles, the rip
pie on the waters delight, the CLINT
of the gold of gladness; without it
humor would be dumb, wit would
wither, dimples would disappear,
and smiles would shrivel, for it's
glow of a clean conscience, the voice
of a pure soul, the birth cry of mirth,
the swan-song of sadness. Laugh
ter!-Life.

One active beech nut, given a

little thought started right will go

HIS MEDAL OF HONOR.
Old Lady Had Wrong Impression That
Flattered Holder.

The medal was about an inch in
diameter. 1t was made of white
enamel with a gold band. The let
tiers were old English in type and
dark blue in color. They were large
letters and could be read at the other
side of the car.
The old lady in the soft, black
dress and neat little bonnet saw the
medal the minute the young man sat
down. 1t was plain she was pleased
with it. She smiled as she read the
monogram, &c. E. p" and presently
she arose and tilted across to the va
cant place beside the young man.
When she spoke her voice was soft
and sweet.
"NIy dear sir" she said, I hope
you will pardon me for my boldness
in addressing you, but | really cam
not help telling you how glad | am
to see you wearing that badge. In
these days, when so many young men
are ashamed to be true to their own
convictions, it does the heart good to
find one who is courageous enough
to wear his faith, or at least the en-
blem of his faith, right out where all
may see it. | don't know just ex-
actly what G. e. P. stands for, but
/ suppose it is something about
Christian Endeavor, isn't it?"
The young man flushed. a little

She looked at him re%provingly.

am proud of you. | knew, it was a
badge representing nobility Of char
acter and l hope you will always
wear it,"
The young man looked sheepish,
and when the old lady left the a he
breathed a sigh of relief. An in
9u;sitive man who had been an inter-
ested witness of the little scene
leaned over and said to the young
fellow: "Say, On the level, is that a
Christian Endeayor badger"
"Not on your life" said the young
man. 'That C. f. p. means Cham

AT HOME.

No reward comes to him who
robs himself of what he needs to
sustain life and health. or what is
needed to care for his own, merely
to give to those who ask. No man
has a right to give what is not
fully his own, no right to give
away anything that belongs to
another, to create poverty in or
der to relieve poverty to lose the
respect of his home ones, or to do
what will weaken their faith in
him as a provider and a protector.
Mans duty is to God, and he
discharges the duty when he is
true to the family that is the re-
suit of his making and begetting.
Men err by Withholding when they
have means to spare as we'll as
not, and they err by giving heed
lessly to the endless asking of
those whose great aim in life is to
attach themselves to those in
clined to charity. Help those who
are in sickness, in trouble and dis
tress, if you can do so without
robbing your creditors, yourself
or your family. Be just, and then
be generous. To give wisely is
an art, to give we'll is to give sue
cessfully. To provide employ
ment is even humane and wise,
but you should give it or add it to
those who try to deserve such as
sistance, not to those who are
lazy, dirty, shiftless, careless and
Indifferent to your success, Let
those who will not try to come up
just a little higher, with your help,
remain where they are, except you
are able to give.
No man has a right to walk de-
liberately into poverty in order to
prove his manhood a disposition
to humanity. This is not the way
to help mankind, or to serve your
country. When a man is stricken
down, then help him if you can,
but do not encourage him to fall
again and to keep on falling simp-
ly to be helped. Do not be a miser
nor yet a spendthrift. Do not be
, selfish, but be careful to preserve
your own health, means and abb
lily to help those who will be with
us tomorrow, az we'll as today.

l"Would you have the world better ant
brighter?
Then light up the way as you go;
Make some little part of it lighter
With beams from our life's steady glow;
Make the world you live in your debtor
As through it you journey along.
Be good. and the earth will grow better;
Do right, and the right will grow strong:
Trim the lamp that is left to our keeping,
And fan it with breezes of hope,
Lest shadows your life DER creeping
Leave others in darkness to grope.

Don't be a grumbler. Some peo-
pie contrive to get hold of the
prickly side of everything; to run
up against the sharp corners, and
find out all the disagreeable things.
Half the strength spent in growl-
ing would often set things right.
You may as we'll make up your
mind, to begin with, that no one
has ever found the world as he
would like it; but yon are to take
your share of the troubles, and
bear them bravely. You will be
very sure to have troubles laid up
on you that belong to other peo-
pie, unless you are a shirk your
self, but don't grumble. If the
work needs doing, and you can do
it, mind about the other per-
son who ought to have done it and
didn't. Those workers will fill up
the gaps, and smooth away the
rough places, and finish up the
job others leave undone, they are
the true peacemakers, and worth a
whole lot of GROWERS.

young men, please remember that
these are not the ones who are
called for when responsible posi-.
tons are to be filed. Would you
like to guage your own future for
a position of prominence? Would
you like to know the probabilities
of your getting such a position?
Inquire within! What r you
doing to make yourself valuable
in the position you now occupy?
If you are doing with your might
what your hands find to do, the
chances are two to one that you
will soon become so valuable in
that position that you cannot be
spared from it, and then, singular
to relate, will be the very time
when you will be sought out for
promotion for a better place.

Boise, Idaho, July Accommodating
the seventh day Of direct examination
Of it's witnesses to-day the defense In
the trial of William b. Haywood bids
fair to exceed by several days its prom
Use to close within eight days after the
opening speeches.
The foundation laid BY the testimony
of the former stenographer of the Pink
erton agency, who, to use his own words,
gave back to the rightful owners the
secrets entrusted to him by his ern-
ployers, is being used to help build the
structure BY which the defense hopes to
convince the jury aud the public that
there has been q widespread conspiracy
to wreck the Western Federation and
convict its officers Of murder.
Judge Wood has ruled that the dc.
Tense may go into this conspiracy only
so far as its qualifications extend in the
states of Colorado and Idaho.
Counsel for the defense, however,
states that they can show conspiracy
OF employers extending through many
states in the Union and intended to
affect union labor everywhere and they
propose to try to get the whole thing
DetOfe the jury.
Counsel for the prosecution say that
while they made no objection to the
introduction Of Pinkerton reports affect
ing the Colorado situation, and even
asked for more, the matter introduced
SO far has failed to show that the Pink.
ertons Were employed or retained by the
mine owners or the Citizens Alliance OF
Colorado. Consequently they say that
the foundation not having been laid for
the conspiracy which the defense has
alleged, they will resist any further in

conspiracy in any other state.

the testimony was all false.
