Rational Brevities.
Davidson.

Character is but formulated will force.
 Believe ;n God. not iii names. places or persons. s
 Tranquility is but the result of well poised mind
 An ideal temple of humanity must be built by human hands.
 To be tranquil and happy, obey the laws of nature and of the land.
 Be concerned only as to your duty, fearless of what people think of you.
 A true spiritual poise is not possible if either memory or expectation is ur- duly indulged.
 Cut loose from your moorings of fixed opinions and get on the band wagon of progress.
 Quell the storms in your own mind if you would be undisturbed by exte- rior flurries. Tempest.
 The purpose of life on this earth is growth and development. Gratitude and fame are delusions.
 Keep your eyes in front of you and don't butt your head against an ob- struction to find if it is there.
 An unseyerned temper is poison and therefore detrimental to good morals and physical health.
 Be not over jealous. We may do our cause material injury by doing too much at the wrong time.
 The source of good has never been fathomed, and the only gauge of life is the capacity to work and receive.
 Everlasting and sufficient power is beneath everyone who chooses abso- lute good as governing principles.
 Life is eternal and inexhaustible and no proper use of our faculties or organs can even weary or hinder our progress.
 It's not a good idea to do things from force of habit. Do the right thing because it is a duty. Habits are dangerous.
 A good rule of life is to look to re- suits rather than methods, yet meth ods should be needed in the bounds of reason and discretion.
 The optimistic mind sees the blessed sunshine breaking through the darkest clouds and turns the perplexities of life to good accounts.
 Words are but vehicles to convey an idea, and they often carry an un- dercurrent that will change the result to evil when it is intended good.
 We have all been taught to Hold fast that which is eood.' but it just as important to turn loose things when they have served their purpose.
 Bravely face the responsibilities of each day and never conclude that life is an illusion and live in a dream of heaven. Do your duty and bring heaven into your life here and now.
 Don't be sure of the correctness of your own opinions. They might be wrong, however honest and sure you are. Let's be receptive to the truth. |
 The result of an act or even stat hicut may De seen ana IelL-f0r good or evil-long after we have passed to the great chamber of life beyond.
 If everyone was acquainted with the laws governing life. and had enough wisdom to apply those laws 1 all evil would disappear from the l earth.
 Every city is just what it's people make 1t, by their general department and conversation. A citizen who i speaks derogatorily of his city is a detriment to it's growth.
 The most profitable work of human hands IS to take up the opportunities | of the life that now is --today--and | meet and work out it's problems with patience and cheerfuIness.

Election Forecast

Ralph B%urkholder, the Sioux Falls
correspondent. sums up the election
in the following way:
AT no time during the past six
or eight wears has the republican
party of South Dakota been more
united than in the present campaign
and never before during that period
has the party appeared more GER
tain of winning an overwhelming
victory than at the present time.
Of course. 1t is the part of wisdom
for the democrats to profess to be-
lieve they have a fighting show of
electing from one to three Of their
nominees at the election in Novem-
Der, but the cold, hard facts, as they
are certain to be revealed by the
result of the election next week, are
that the democratic party in this
campaign is engaged in a hopeless
fight and cannot hope to elect even
one of its nominees for a state Office
or for congress-"
