is possessed with the idea that eth
er it had exceptional abilities or ex-
ceptional chances, the like of which
the world will never know again.
But the world goes on, wealthy
men die and more men of equal or
greater wealth succeed them.
There never yet was a period in
the worlds history when pluck,
energy and industry, coupled with
shrewd business sense, could not
climb the rugged steep which leads
to fortune. Boys and men must
work always and wait often if they
would win in the fierce race for
wealth. But working or waiting
they will win if they seize their op-
portunities when these offer and
ability to profit by them when they
are seized. What we insist on in
this question of What shall we do
with our boys?" is that they shall
be given simple English educa-
ton and then let them do for them
selves. Give them the oysterknife
and let them seek the oyster of for
tune and open it. If they can't do
this the chances are ten to one that
they would not have sufficient git |
up and git" to take advantage of
fortune even if brought to them On
a half shell.
Just now there is altogether too
much solicitude on the part of par
ents as to what they will do with
their boys, which leaves the i'm
preston on the minds of the young
gentlemen Of the period that some
thing has got to be done for them,
instead of encouraging the more
manly thought they must do for
themselves There is no reason to
that the channels to COM
petence and wealth are fewer and
more difficult than they were years
ago.
What should children be taught
to believe in order that when they
grow up they may find that later
does not alter what they
learnt when younger9 We must
teach them that, beyond what they 1
feel and see and touch, there is
better and greater which
they can neither feel nor see nor
ouch, unselfshness, giving up
heir inclinations-these are the I
pest things in the world. 1t is true
hat goodness and kindness have no
aces that we can kiss; no hands
hat we can clasp; but these are v
there, in the midst of our S
york and our play. And this n
GOODNESS and kindness which, ex- L
ept in outward acts, we cannot d
ee, is some something which exist [
d before we were born. 1t is from
his that we have all the pleasant "
hings of this world; the flowers, C
he sunshine, the moonlight-all D
hese were given us by some great N
indness and goodness which we y
ave never seen at all. And this o
oodness and love are that great %
'ower from whom all things come.

We are told that the daily

sleep of the just for a year past, and
will be rushed into the breach lest
some opposition candidates who are
conducting a clean campaign as to
the use of printers ink should be
elected. It was hoped that this
city campaign would be free from
mud-slinging and incrimina t n e
newspaper "roasts;" and should the
Sentinel turn loose any mud batteries,
it is certain that it will but react on
that publication. The public does
not care for the villifcation of citi-
zens with whom they come into
contact every day, and with whose
personalities and habits they are
perfectly familiar, and as we have
stated before, if the Sentinel starts
any such crusade it will but besmirch
the people who are behind the
movement.

COMPROMISE ON RATES.
Railroads Hope to Stimulate Lumber
Shipments.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 14.--At a con-
ference held here between attorneys
for the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific railways, Northwest lumber
men and the business interest is, a ten
tative compromise of the rate ques-
ton was reached by the railroads
offering to haul lumber at the old
rates, leaving it optional with the
carriers whether or not the shippers
shall be required to put up bonds to
guarantee the payment of the new
rate in case the railroads secure a
ia orable decision from the interstate
commerce commission. Under this
agreement the railroads hope to slim
ulate the lumber shipments and the
lumber and single manufacturers
gain point in not being absolutely
obliged to put~up bonds to guarantee
the payment of the new rate. The en-
tire matter will be presented to Judge
Hanford Of the United States court as
soon as the necessary details can be
agreed upon.

JURIST OUT FOR GOVERNOR
His Platform Is Enforcement Of Sun

Kansas City, Feb. 14-Judge Will

of this city, who recently has been

candidacy for the Democratic nominal
ton for governor of Missouri. His
platform declares for "the statewide
and permanent enforcement Of the
Sunday and liquor laws"
Judge Wallace's crusade resulted in
the Indictment Of hundreds of actors,
actresses and theatrical managers and
attaches for the violation Of the law
making it misdemeanor to perform
unnecessary labor on Sunday and he
has placed them under bonds amount
ing in the aggregate close to 100000.
Tuesday he ordered four prominent
theatrical managers to Jail because
they failed to furnish proper bond and
they were only kept from going be-
hind the bars by securing writ of
habeas corpus. He has closed hum
dreds of poolrooms, cigar stores, bar
Der shops and other small businesses

delegates from Park Rapids assured
those present at the meeting that
the municipal authorities and the
citizens generally of Park Rapids
will put forth every effort to royalty
entertain the visiting fremen during
the tournament next June.
The meeting of the executive COM
mittee was a most harmonious one,
which demonstrates that the best of
feeling prevails among the four
departments which are still left as
members of the association, which
consisted of nine northern Mime
sofa fire departments at the time the
