three leg amputations in a week. The

Dorothy were rummaging in the attic.
In the trunk was found daguerrotype

As d business man in Laramie Mr..
Tregoning has had much experience
and after all there is not much differ

fcations and applies them with zeal
and honesty, it is but a step from one
to another. In business the new com.
missioner has been energetic, practi-
cal and successful. A recent heavy
loss in the sheep business was because
of a simple accident, one might say,
that is likely to come to any man, but
he is not putting up a poor mouth over
that and Is meeting the battle of life

Of human nature is to be observed

ONE ELEMENT OF SUCCESS.

No community can succeed that is
rent and torn by c%ontending factions.
If business men are not a unit for
the public welfare and do not work in
harmony, there is sure to be great
losses to the people as a whole. This
Is true also, in perhaps lesser degree,
in politics, in secret societies,
churches, etc. No person ever saw a
lodge that had several contending di-
visions go ahead to success. More
frequently the attendance falls off, the
membership ~dwindles, frequently 4
new lodge is started to the detriment
of the other and general discord in
lures the entire order. How frequent,
" this is seen in the operation of cor
po%rations and even in business part
nerships, and the churches are not at
all free from It. Members become
dissatisfied with the pastor and di-
vide, some often withdrawing and go
ing to another church. In politics
there is tremendous opportunity for
dividing the people of a community.
There are exceedingly few who look
without some prejudice upon an inGi
vidual of the opposing party. They
will say he is all right as a business
man and a citizen, but in politics he
is mighty dirty. 1t is hard to yield
to the opinions of others. In the main,
it is perhaps well that there is a great
diversity of thought. In the clash OF
opinion great questions are set
tied and free institutions are main
tanned, but when this clash of opinion
Is not friendly, when 1t is carried to
unyielding prejudice, the community
always suffers, the entire people pay.
ing the penalty for the folly of the
few who continue to stir up strife and
make discord.
That city which can lay aside party
strife after election is over is the one
that reaps the richest rewards. What
if a man is a republican or a demo,
crat? 1t is for the best interests OF
the government that there should be
contending forces and that the bal
nee of power should be almost equal
In this way the men in power are
kept at their best, fearing the will Of
the people may depose them. BIT

made, there should be really no rc
