This Big Couatzy of Onrs.

A the time approaches for the as
sembling Of the national congress. the
heads of the various departments Of
the government are preparing and pub
fishing their annual reports covering
the activities of the past year together
with recommendations of the things
they think ought to be done in the com.
ing year.
The annual message of the president
covers the same ground in more gen.
eral way. but the detailed reports Of
the various secretaries and heads Of
bureaus give . much better idea Of
what 10 going on in the Affairs Of the
government.
The country is getting 70 very big
and there is such 4 wide range and
vast eomplexity in governmental Affairs
that It 10 increasingly difficult for the
ordinary citizen to keep in touch with
all these things and still more difficult
to form IN intelligent opinion - to the
merits or dsmerits Of governmental
policies. Yet that is what is required
Of every intelligent citizen inasmuch -
the country l. ruled by public opinion
and sound judgment can be based only
upon accurate knowledge.
On the other hand the facilities of
information are probably better than
thsE ever were before. The news
pspsss Of the country keep their read
ers informed Of Ill that 10 going on in
tie various departments and some Of
tie departments expsnd large sums Of
money In informing the psople about
what they ars doing.
The intelligent citizen does not lack
the means Of keeping himself informed
~ 10 what the government h doing,
and hs ean 70 into these matters just
- dssp - b. cares b venture.
Many Of these government reports
are intensely interesting, and they are
based upon . proper recognition Of the
important faet that the real rulers Of
this country are the people, who have .
right 70 know what their servants In
publie oties are doing with the public
power and tie public money.

Life, after all, ID not 70 bad - we
like to fancy it. venture to say il
most Of u began our evening prayer
by thanking the lord for all His benefits
to us, we should fall asleep long before
we got to the grievance with which we
usually induce insomnia.
The world Is not bed Of roses. The
path we must trod ID often hard,
clogged with overwhelming anxieties,
cares and worries that seem to bow
earthward even the idealist's gaze.
But when our shoulders are bent low
we can At least get some happiness out
Of life by trying to love the burden We
bear, like the little Scotch girl whom
some one met staggering along the
country road with baby in her arms.
''Can l help you?" the stranger asked.
THE child seems 90 heavy for you"
The little girl looked up, and with m
expression of passionate tenderness,
said:
Hes nae heavy. He's me brother!'

Senator Borah of Idaho held . long
consultation with the president recently
relative to the proposed appropriation
Of congress for the assistance Of gov.
eminent irrigation projects in the west.
While the president had originally sug-
gested ten million ~ the adequate sum
for the work under contemplation, he
this morning spoke of the appropria.
ton in terms three times that great,
suggesting $50, ,0O0, 900 As the necessary
amount to be set apart by congress fol
carrying on the big undertaking. The
president did not pledge himself to
recommend that sum, but Senator
Borah has stated that he is confident
the Recommendation will be made.

The people of Colorado are in
favor Of any plan that will prevent
speculation and monopoly in the public
lands. But they are not in favor of
any plan that will retard development,
prevent settlement and delay progress.
The fact that the land Office authorities
have discovered some big thieves does
not alter the fact that the vast major
ity of settlers are honest men who are
playing 4 most important part in the
building Of the great states of the west.
It isn't % much the Central Bank
that the west is afraid of n it is the
eminent senator from Rhode Island,
who appears n sponsor for the project.

endorse the ingredients and pre-
scribe them in many different
forms of various diseases. The fol-
lowing formula is highly efficient in

thinness, cold extremeties, tired

to do those natural and rational

The instructions for mixing at
home secretly so that no embar-
rassment may be felt, are as fol-
lows; First get three ounces of
syrup sarsaparilla compound and
one ounce compound fluid balm
wort; mix and let stand two hours.
sence cardiol and one ounce tinco-
ure cadomene compound (not car

directions are to take one tea
spoonful after each meal and one
when retiring, until bounding
health and full strength are re-
stored. Even a few weeks will wit

Astonishing nervous force and

Thankful had in these months
brought out her religious state of mind
and by deep thinking and close and
careful study she had arrived at new
conclusions. The Scriptures had a
new meaning, she did not reject
them; she was as one who had lived
in cell and had come out into the
broad world of light and glorious sun
shine; her horizon was limited no
more; she could see afar and under
stand the impossibility of all the great
universe having been created for the
sole use and benefit of few human
beings of a particular creed.
She took up her school-work joy
fully, and labored with new zeal for
the bodies, and consequently the souls,
of her pupils. She was given an in
crease of salary and was becoming a
power in the pedagogic world She
had more zest for enjoyment, and at
the Tootles ball no bud had SO much
attention as Thankful; she vailed
like an angel as Dudley said, and
her card was full.
She wanted to ask Mrs. Tootle, her
hostess, about Paul Lindsay, who was

Tootle had mentioned him, she had

time; but that was not wonderful, as
he had Joined an exploring party as

her alone a moment behind grove
of palms; II have had a letter from
Paul, and he is-Oh yes, I'll come;
what is the matter?" One of her
daughters had interrupted her com
munication with a tale of disaster in
the supper room.
He is what?" Thankful was saying
to herself; her heart was beating at q
painful rate. "At any rate he Is moi
dead, or she could not have had let
ter from him. Oh! wonder If he Is
coming back, and If he-if he'll g
