EPIGRAMS,

From Sunday Sermon byRev. II. Preston
The gradual enlargement of the
field of human activity, the increasing
intricacy and complexity of the
worlds work makes it necessary that
we should narrow the sphere of
individual effort.
There never were SO many fields
open to human enterprise, nor was
competition ever so fierce as now
There never was a time when the
strain upon men, ever when they
have narrowed their energies to a
single field, was so great as this time.
One advantage of having a clear
and definite aim in life, is that it will
enable you to concentrate your
energies.
Concentration is power. This is
according to the nature of things.
Concentration gives breadth as
well as depth, He who aims at
breadth primarily, is not sure of
depth, while he who aims at depth is
sure to secure breadth.
Having a definite aim will educate
the will, and the will is the great
faculty in getting the worlds work
done. The men who have convic-

LLOYD L. PULLINS SUICIDES.

Almost beyond belief was the re-
port brought to this city Tuesday
that Lloyd, the fifteen year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. james A. Pullins,
living on the old Delos Perry farm
south of this city, had committed
suicide, but such was the fact.
The boy was in apparent good
health, vas unusually bright in school
work, an industrious lad about home,
and in every way a promising youth.
The only possible explanatihn for
the rash deed seems to be temporary
mental arrangement, and even that
is an explanation that is hard to ac-
cept. During the morning Floyd
had had a few angry words with a
brother over the manner in which
some farm work should be done.
which resulted in Lloyd leaving the
field while his brother continued at
work. This difficulty did not take a
more serious form than words, how
ever. Lloyd said little at the house.
He appeared to be in no hurry, but
after a short time took his shot gun,
broke a hole through the window
screen and pushed the gun through
SO as to avoid discovery, at the same
time slipping two shells INTO his
pocket. After the boy had got down
nea the barn Mrs. Pulls observed
him and asked where be was going,
to which he replied Ito shoot a duck"
Mrs. Pullins tried to persuade him
not to go but he insisted Not long
after that she heard the report OF he
gun, and about ten o'clock heard the
second report. The boy did not APP
appear at dinner, but little was
thought of that. But when he did
not return early in the afternoon the
parents became anxious and Mr..
Pullins started in search of him
The search was continued until night,
and the next morning continued with
the assistance Of the neighbors. The

Our people are getting in full time
in the harvest field, and there is com
fort for them III the contemplation OF
full remuneration for the labor. A
few excessively hot days last week
ripened some grain very rapidly and
it may weigh a tri1e higher because
of it.
We have at different times in these
items called attention to the places in
the public highway that are yet inn
passable. No distractions have been
placed cross the road to warn stran-
gers, and occasionally some one gets
into trouble. 1t is not at all unlikely
that damage will have to be paid as a
result Of ~neglecting official duty, to
say nothing of the annoyance to those
who suffer from such neglect. Frank
Carmody, of Oldham, was the last
victim SO far as we have heard. 1t is
III private opinion that the road
oyerseer should attend to such things
inside Of his territory.
Mrs. Trousdale had a little mis-
fortune while returning from her
recent visit to friends in Spirit Lake
township. While on the road quite
a long distance from any house, the
horse became frightened and broke
loose from the buggy. The break
was such that the buggy had to be
left, and another procured to come
home with.
Mrs. David Pratt has the banner
lot of young poultry, of nearly all the
different kinds. She surely must
have kept that incubator running on
full time.
Mrs. II. j. Ross on Wednesday
went to De Smet to remind her son,
G. Il. Newell that it was his birthday,
and help him to properly celebrate
the event.
One day the first Of the week doctor
and Mrs. Garrison, Of Oldham. while
touring in their QUITO, CHANGED to call
at Fairview Home, and were doubtless
surprised 70 find in the person Of Mrs,
R. u. Ross, an old time resident Of
their former home city in Minnesota.
1t Is needless to add, the little time
they could remain was fully occupied
The doctor and his estimablcsw wife are
certainly pleasant people to meet.
We would like bur Immediate

tions. not the men who have opinions,
rule human affairs.
Carrying these qualities into a
higher realm, will you not consent to
the statement, that in the moral and
religious relationship and duties,
earnestness, a definite aim, is wisdom?
Decision flashes upon your counsels
in business, in politics, in study; you
teach that a strong and definite pur-
pose is necessary to Gee in all
matters temporal; is it right when it
comes to the relationships and duties
of the soul, to drift, and hesitate, and
procrastinate?
