Wedding Anniversary.

On the evening of Friday, Sept.
9Th, a very pleasant and we'll plan
ned surprise was completed when a
host of their friends and relatives
to the number of about 160 met at
the very pleasant farm home of Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Brown in Orleans
township, to assist them in COM
memorating the event of their 25th
wedding anniversary, which occur
red on the following day, September
10th.
During the evening in a few well
chosen words in behalf of the COM
pany, Hon. d. A. Lyons presented
this estimable couple with a very
nice writing desk and chair, large
arm chair and set of solid silver
spoons.
At midnight an elegant supper
was furnished to which all did am
pie justice, after which most of the
company amused themselves in
dancing til the wee hours of the
morning. p. ID.

How BOYS MAY Succeed.

If you have no leaning towards a
trade, and no work offers at home,
you must find it elsewhere. If you
do not want to end your days as a
laborer you must make up your
mind in advance of any step to be
diligent and faithful, to be honest
and economical. BY observing the
first three maxims you will hold
any place you may secure, and
have the good will of your employ
er to follow you into new fields. By
observing the fourth you can, in
few years, accumulate sufficient
capital to enable you to enter into
business for yourself.
What boys have done other boys
can again accomplish. Eight out Of
every ten of our rich men were
poor boys and made their own way.
AS for those who began life with
plenty of money, not one out of
eight has been anything like sue
cess. Don't begin your career by
believing in luck. 1t leads to the
poor house by the straight road.
What the lazy man calls luck is
simply diligence, economy and man
agement. Pick out the LATEST,
poorest man you know and you will
find him growing about luck. When
he comes to explain his career you
will find that he planted potatoes
and waited for luck to come around
and hoe them while he sat on the
grocery steps and talked politics.
The ill-luck he growls about has
come more through his own shift
lessness and bad management than
from any other cause. Diligence
makes luck; economy makes luck
honesty makes luck. 1t Is too late
in the day to make the world be-
lieve that some folks were born to
be rich and others poor. 1t rests
solely with the boy and man.
Nine cases out of ten the boy who
is thoroughly determined to make
something of himself will succeed.
He may have to encounter rough
usage, but the resolution which
carried him out into the world will
carry him safely through any crisis

Necessary to Mankind.

If there were no women, men
would have no object in life; their
mustaches would cease to interest
them; they would not care a China
man whether their collars were
ironed or not; they would have no.
body to nurse them when they had
the toothache, or to keep them from
believing they were going to die
when an old-fashioned stomach
ache had the grip upon them. There
would be nobody to take for ice
cream, and no small edition of flesh
and blood to hug. There would be
nobody to fight against being Kissed
and then take to it as natural as the
cat does to cream. Most important
of all, there would be nobody to
write against, to complain of and to
love with all your heart and soul.
Without her, man would never get
to heaven, and without them they
would never have a taste of the
other place on earth. So, if man
has any sense whatever, he'll put his
arm around the woman he is the
fOndest of, thank the good Lord for
her, and wonder, as she does, what
in the world he would do without
her.
