BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WAIT.

Be happy for life is worth living,
 And earth is a wonderful place, Grand prizes are given so freely
 For all who will run in life's race. Be happy, and scatter some sunshine
 That others may catch the bright glow That shines from a heart pnre and loyal, Just radiate cheer as you go. Be happy Twill carry you safely
 As onward your journey you wend, Twill make all life's pathway delightful And take you in peace to the end,

and the day is not far distant
when Reverend Dean Hamilton, Its

The Reverend Hamilton has worked
indefetigably to this end, having done

A PRINCE AMONG HIS FELLOWS

Blessed Is the man who by his gen.
tie wit and humor brings cheer to the
life of Others and when in the course
of nature he is compelled to lay down
his pen and his eyes are closed for
ever his name is held in grateful
remembrance. The man who has
this gift of humor and who express
es it in genial, wholesome fashion is
performing a great mission-that of
Frightening this old world and max
ing life more radiant.
Many a soul in reading the quaint
humor of Mark Twain's "Innocents
Abroad" tom Sawyer" and "Huck-
leberry Finn" has been moved to
healthful laughter, and many bust
ness man, oppressed and wearied with
the care of the day, has forgotten
those cares in following the adven
lures of those worthless.
While Mark Twain will, of course,
he best remembered as the leading
American humorist of this genera
tion, yet his other writings have
literary and historic value which alone
would give him lasting place as
an author
By a STRANGE irony of fate the
man who did SO much to inspire 9th
ers and make men forget the adver-
stiles of the world was himself the
,requent victim of adversity. Fin
ancial losses and the more severe
trial of the death of lowed ones fell
as heavy burden upon him, but they
failed to embitter him. Through it
all there was the same genial smile,
quaint word and twinkling of the
eyes.

Educate the farmers, at least the
new farmers, SO that when they come
from the east they will make sue
cess of their farms; let the real es-
tate men of southern Idaho realize
that when they sell orchard tracts
they must be orchard tracts, or else
in years to come these tracts will
stand as monuments, which will re-
suit in the downfall of this vast in
land empire; realize that by helping
each community, you are helping
yourself, magnify the whole rather
than any particular part of the state,
for by magnifying the whole you
make the country more attractive to
the investor, cooperate with all the
new settlers. who are mostly people
from the east who are not acquaint-

brought by the glowing reports of
your country; tell them how they
must 60 about 1t to secure the best
