Thought for Today.

In aiming at the life of blessed
ness, one of the simplest beginnings
to be considered, and rightly made
is that which we all make every
day namely, the beginning of each
days life. There is a sense in
which every day may be regarded
as the beginning of new life, in
which one can think, act. and live
newly, and in a wiser and better
spirit. The right beginning of the
day will be followed by cheerful
ness permeating the household with
a sunny influence, and the tasks
and duties of the day will be under
taken in a strong and confident
spirit, and the whole day will be
well lived. Sci.

years, died Tuesday night, Feb

deceased formerly lived with his
brother, C. w. Tanner. at Santa Fe

years of age and had been afflicted
for many years. He was known as
a kind hearted man and always
ready to help those around him in
any way he could. He had suffered
much in life and relatives and
friends had administered to him in
every way possible. He leaves one

Mail W eishine Begins Today.

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 10.-Probably
most important reweighing of the
mails in the history of the postoffice
department will begin on February
II in what is known as the Fourth
division, consisting of all the terri
tory west of the Mississippi river
to the Pacific coast. Upon the re-
suit of the reweighing depends the
settlement of many of the mooted
questions which have been bother
ing the government and the rail-
roads for years.
1t is not at all unlikely that the
reweighing will result in several
radical changes in the methods and
in the rules and the pay given
the railroads for transportation of
the mails. Last year the govern
ment paid the railroads fully Sat-
100000 for carrying the mails, and
the railroads insist that the COM
pensation was inadequate, while
the government insists that it was,
if anything too great.

Why and Why Not2
BY F. M. Cooper.

Why should we judge our fellow
man
With cruel words that smart?
Leave judgment unto him who can
Look deep in every heart.
Why not for others good take
thought;
Gods golden rule obey;
And love each other as we ought
And for each other pray?
Why not into our own hearts look,
Those evils there to mend.
Why not be governed by the book
That will judge us in the end?

here are many people in the

that n5ver ought to have been sent
there" said a well known physician
to the reporter. Many of them
are old and the family, the children
or grandchildren, have them sent
out ther to get them out of the
way and to keep from being troubled
with them. They feel like it would
be a disgrace to send them to the
poor farms, but that if they can
have them adjudged insane it will
relieve them of the criticism of the
neiehborhood. Of course, lots Of
these old folks are not right men
tally or have but little mentality
left. but they are not insane and
the only reason for sending them
here is that those who should care
for them want to get rid Of them.

Lately a Missouri Mule in search
Of knowledge and wisdom repaired
to Boston, the Bean and Brain cen

ed to the Asylum of the New Eng
land Hysterical and Genealogical
society, where are stored the Pill
grim and Puritan Fathers and their
odor Of sanctity, and where ances-
tors are kept on tap.
The Mule met the society by its
proxy, the Janitor, who said to him:
There is nothing so honorable. o.

genealogical chartl You are but a
mule, but mule must have had
ancestors; and when even a mule

Nay, sir" said the Mule, waving
his tail sadly, "a mule is cut off
from the hope of posterity; he is al
ways the last of his race; and l
can't figure where he comes in on
ancestors"
MY dear Mule" the Janitor re-
marked loftily, this society could
find an ancestry for a protoplasm;
and shall it balk at a mule? Never!
Come with me-" Then he led him
into the penetralia of the asylum,
until he came to the ancestral files,
where he stopped and murmured
Mule! Mulel Shall search under
the head of donkey or horse? 1t is
always safer to look for ancestors
among the donkeys." He took down
the D file, looked it over, smiled
and said: Here we are. Just as l
thought; a very distinguished and
ancient family" as he opened a
manuscript.
The first mule of merit in Eng
land landed with Hengist and Hor-
sa; his name was stupidity and he
was accompanied by his parents,

common people. Pretty good stock,
eh? The family continued to live
on the soil for ages, but one offshoot
which did not submit to the Nor
mans became known as the OBJ
stinacy branch; while another,
, which was sullenly submissive to
the Conqueror, founded the Stub
born family, a young and more
pliable shoot of the latter becoming
Baron of Sense and founder of the
ASininity family.
The Mules were getting on; and
after the Reformation we find a
member of the family, called by
the name of Conservatism, who
were all intimately related to a dis
tinguished ass called Precedent, oc-
cupying positions of honor and
power in church and state. 1t was
