Enthusiasm.

Enthusiasm is the dynamo thai
drives a man until he drives his
work, whether it be manuel
mental or spiritual. Enthusiasm
is what keeps Thomas a. Edison
at his laboratory for days at 4
time without going home. 1t is
the mysterious something tina,
compelled Mccormick TO put on,
the first reaper in the face OF
opposition.
| Enthusiasm is the stuff sue
cess is made of. He who aeon
plisheS anything worth while
must be full of it.
But enthusiasm is not success
nor is it a guarantee of success.
Electricity may be made to move
machinery, or it may tear every
thing to pieces in a thunder
crash. One is under control,
the other not. Gunpowder may
propel a cannon ball for miles
with accuracy, but the same
charge may blow the ship to
atoms.
There is the enthusiasm that

are Matched" 1t has the profits
all figured a year in advance.
There is that which impclls men
to put their hard earned cash
into a gold mine that is not yet
and never will or car be. The
quality of enthusiasm is Al but
it is not intelligently directed
1t needs ballast.
Well directed enthusiasm finds
a way or makes one. But the
other kind is like the pup that

at another hole, and maybe at a
long deserted one, but he's

Another man, who had been
called to the same exalted Office
four years before and who had
been originally called to this
Office through a great national
tragedy, laid down the reins of
power with a smile. One day

Four feet of the bow of the Scott

The closing day was spent by thou

the eastern delegates began to scat

rectly home, and the copper badge of
the EpWortlian will be familiar to
all people on the coast for many
days. The convention brought to the
front the issue whether the league
should be ruled by the bishops and
the old people, the young people to
be quiet and pay dues. The conven-
tion meetings here We're largely at

The old people said aamen' to this,
but the young were silent. Other
speakers told the grayheads that they
had no business in the convention or
in the league.
While no vote was taken, there was
a general consensus of opinion that
the league must be reorganized at
once if it is TO carry out the purpose

Butte, July 12.-Despite the fact
that enough testimony has already
been adduced to warrant the three
colored men accused of the murder of
John Jones being held to the district
court, the jury is still probing the
matter, and will continue to do so for
ing marked by Instructions and
charges by the members of the
county attorneys office and a gener-
ally tangled-up story ON the part OF
the defendants. "Rusty'' Jones prac-
tically admitted today that he had a
part in the killing of the man, but
asserted he never touched the poor
boy" in manner to cause death OF
after he had died The entire day was
consumed in the examination of
Rusty Jones' one of the three col

Jones died, but beyond a general de
nial from him that he knew anything
as to how Jones body came to be
dropped into the shaft, there was
nothing OF Importance in his evidence
Henry johnson, who was captured
at Drummond and brought back, has
testified that Rusty Jones and a
man named Thomas carried the body
to the shaft and threw it in, but this
Rusty has positively denied This
afternoon Eleyline Roberts, white
woman who is an inmate of the cabin
was Oh the witness stand, but did not
throw any new light on the matter OF

ther stated that Johnson informed hel
that If she told the authorities any

instrument some time between mid

aged u, Il canyasman with the Sells
F'loto circus, was found about O'Clock
near the tent, and died at / o'clock
this afternoon. The canvasman was
paid off Saturday night, and it is the
belief of the circus people that Titus
WAS beaten asd robbed by thugs who
knew he had money.
Within half an hour from the time
of Titus death Pat Groman, a notori-
Gus police character in the city, was
arrested and jailed as a suspect in
the case. Dr. Scott, who was called.
stated that the man had wound in
the head which looked as If it might
have been inflicted by a sharp in
strument. The skull was fractured.
Companions who accompanied the man
to the hospital said he had been
kicked by a horse.
