4 Sunday Sermon.

One must accept life as it is. 1t
gives US great happiness if we are
wise enough to see it, and it balances
the scales by sending great sorrows,
too.
But that is life.
If you would make the world bright
er try to forget your lurts, dry your
eyes and turn to help those who need
the pressure Of friendly hand, the
encouragement of smiling look.
Sorrows and troubles of all kinds
should teach one great lesson-the
lesson of universal kindness.-NeW

Died in Good COMPANY.

A clergyman, who was not averse
to an occasional glass, hired an Irish
man to clean out his cellar. The Irish
man began his work. He brought
forth a lot of empty whisky bottles
and as he lifted each one looked
through it at the sun. TAe preacher
who was walking on the lawn, saw
him and said: 'They are all dead
ones, Pat" "They are?" said Pat
"Well, there is one good thing about
it-they all had the minister with
them when they were dying."-Tit

Alfred East says that American
women, like American machines, need
but little man power. The American
woman, he says, is the most chum-

responsible for the fact that American
women are such good fellows"

commerce can furnish him with some
pretty reliable Information to prove
that Colorado has more genuine op-

of Texas.
He will fnd that Colorado has the
most valuable fruit lands In the world

the best in the world. He will find that
the legitimate land companies Of the
state have at their disposal more than

are selling upon fair and just repre-
sentations, and, most wonderful Of all.
he will find that within the next three
years 100000 acres Of land will be
added to that now under irrigation,
increasing the taxable wealth Of the
state by at least S5o.o00.00o by simply
making use OF the rain that has been
permitted to flow away to the sea.
The largest irrigation enterprises
now under way for the state are right
in the vicinity of Denver. and will.
within perhaps less than three years.

tile land under cultivation just at the
