THINGS.

One who has never felt sorrow
or grief is in no position to esti-
mate the value Of one true friend.
Every man should poss ess
enough of ambition to inspire him
with desire TO make the most out
of whatever life offers and thereby
realize the greatest distinction that
his particular calling in life may
afford; sufficient PRIDE and selfre-
spect that he will never ba unmind-
full Of his personal appearance or
conduct or have occasion to fear
the criticism OF Others. Add to
this a sense OF right or wrong that
is not swayed by public opinion or
custom aud an ever-presert desire
to follow where the hand Of duty
points regardless of he conse-
quence. The greatest trouble
with many whose lives might 9TH
erwise be more useful to themselves
and others is Ii t they do not
possess the courage necessary to
put Into execution the pans that
would work to the advantage of all
concerned. They fear the crit
cism and censure of others W h o
have no interest in the matter
they lack the backbone necessary
to carry out their own convictions
and would rather be guilty Of neg
lect than target for the arrow OF
public opinion. This lack of NOR
al courage is largely to blame for
much of the sorrow and trouble OF
this life. 1t assails the pathway
| o the youth, who Influenced by
evil companions is encouraged to
take his first step from the path
of virtue. In the brief moment OF
temptation he holds in the balance
the years of teaching and advice,
the love, respect and happiness of
the absent parents on one hand,
on the other, the promise of pleas
ure, behind which Turk shame and
disgrace. He needs no one to tell
him which is tue proper course.
He knows his duty and would
gladly do it, only he fears the un-
just reproach and biting scorn Of
his companions. He yields, not
y because he is unconscious of his
y wrong, but because he has not the
moral courage to follow the dicta-
ton Of his own conscience and
s better judgment. How few per-
/ sous have the courage to stand by
e the man under the cloud? How
It ever firmly they may believe III
his cause, however anxious they
6 may be to assist or however strong
;, ly they may feel it their duty TO
render such assistance they are too

r tons would bring. They lack the
D courage necessary to come to the

The Des Moines school board has
been Investigating the salary list OF
the different departments of the city
government and has reached the con
clusion that the Des Moines commits
sioners are extravagant. The school
board compared the salary list or
the various city hall departments
with the salary list Of the school
board and by this comparison
discovered that while the volume OF
school business nearly equalled that
done by the city the salary list was
but one-fifth of the amount paid out
to the city hall employees. A salary
list of the Des Moines city hall en-
ployes, which does not included the
men employed on outside work, show
ed that the department OF accounts
paid out in salaries $4,000 to nine en-
,ployes, the department OF public I'M
provements had q salary list for the
year of $45,192, the department OF
public safety $4,000, the mayors de-
partment $4,000, and the park pay
roll was $3.50. The school board
stated that the volume of business
done by the city last year was $780,
900, while the total cost OF the depar.-
ment heads and clerks was $lO5,49o.
In comparison 1t shows that the school
boards volume of business for the
same period was 100000, while the
board paid out in salaries for superln-
tendents and clerk hire but $lS,72O.
