Defnation of the Word "Luck."

There has long been a popular be-
lief in ''good luck" but, like many
other popular notions, it is gradually
giving way.
The conviction is extending that
diligence is the mother of good luck.
1t is not luck, but labor, that makes
men.
Luck, says an American writer, Is
eve waiting for something to turn
up. Labor, with keen eye and strong
will, always turns up sonnet hing.
Luck lies in bed and wishes the
postman would bring him news of a
legacy.
Labor turns out at six, and with
busy pen or ringing hammer lays the
foundation of a competence. Luck
whines; Labor whistles. Luck relies
or chance: Labor or character.
Luck slips downward to self-indu-
lgence; Labor strides upward and
aspires to independence.
Poets may be born, but success is
made: therefore, let me beg of you, 10
the outset of your career, &c dismiss
from your minds all ideas of succeed
ling by luck.
There is no more common thought
tamong young people than that foolish
one that by and by something will
turn up by which they will suddenly
achieve fame or fortune.
Luck is an ignis tatuus. you may
follow it to ruin, but not to success.
The great Napoleon, who believed
in his destiny, followed it until he
saw his star go down in blacklist
night, when the Old Guard persisted
around him.. and Waterloo was lost.
A pound of pluck is worth = ton Of
luck. Pontus Petersen.

Alfred Quien of Fairview, a pro-
gressive farmer who loves to raise
prize winning corn, is a good deal of a
student and a star gazer as we'll. He
loves to sit up during the witching
hours when COLLINS a at will and
felines sing without harmony. AL

Brooks comet that illuminates the
eastern sky about five O'Clock in the
morning, and he wants others to ad-
mire this celestial visitor.
Wednesday morning after feasting
his eyes on the brilliant wanderer and
after it had merged into the morning

Linn answered. He wanted the ed
itor who promptly answered.

A WHISKY CURE THAT CURES
DR.. E. T. Spencer Superintendent of
Neal Cure Reports Some Re
markable Results.

Dr.. e. r. Spencer of Sioux Falls,
SUPERINTENDENT of the famous Three
Day Whisky Cure Institute, was in
Canton last week, and in discussing
the merits Of his wonderful work told
a LEADER reporter about his great
success. The Doctor said in sub
stance:
Not long ago a man came down
from a town in Beadle county on the
verge of tremenS, his arm was swollen
from morphine, and about as near a
total wreck as any man could be and
live. He had been a barkeeper In
various saloons, but even the saloon
keepers had to discharge him. He
had been drinking about three quarts
of poison a day before he got his last
bounce and the man to hold himself
together had been using morphine
until he could see snakes crawling
around his legs sitting or walking.
The unfortunate man was unable to
work and no one wanted him around.
He was on the path that leads to sui
eide when some old friends deter
mined to test the power of the Three
Day Neal cure and sent him to Sioux
Falls.
DR.. Spencer, a man Of wide expert
ence with human wreckage and a vet
eran of the civil war where he saw
and studied more Of human fra1lty
than is to be found in civil life, saw
that he had a desperate case on hand.
He took the Door OutcaSt in, made
him feel at home and then with nee
eSsary treatment put him to bed,
The next morning the Doctor began
his treatment in earnest and in three
DAYS the man was cured so far as the
desire for whisky went. In a week
he was ready 20 go out into the world
a new man, free from the horrors that
had driven him almost into an I'M
timely grave.
DR.. Spencer heard from him about
a week ago. He is in Minnesota and
is now on a farm, strong, healthy and
happy, and writes that all the money
in the world couldn't induce him to
go back on the road to hell.
DR.. Spencer told of four other hui
man wrecks that came to his institute
from towns north and west Of Sioux
Falls. One was a prominent German
who had reached a condition where
he was unable to sleep. He said he
had tried everything to wipe out bis
desire for beer but failed and told DR..
Spencer that he came to see him but
had no faith that he could do any
thing for him. The Doctor told him
it would do no harm to try. After
the first day the Doctor asked him II
he would like to try a little beer.
s'Mine Got, no, | couldn't touch
him." and he went home cured. So
goes the record.
This celebrated Neal treatment is
the greatest gift of science to men
who are slaves to alcohol. Human
slavery in the south was a JOY COM
pared to a whisky slave OF today.
The adulterated decoctions sold as
"Stomach Regulator" or a Health
R~estorer" will drive a nan to Derdi-
tion in a short time If he follows it
up. No man ever won in a contest
with whisky. No man ever can. The
social drink Of com partnership leads
to carrying a flask and a flask leads to
the saloon and finally the gutter and
Jail, while at home some devoted
woman and sweet little baby are
waiting for father.
The Neal cure is sure. All com

Indiln Girl Ends Life.

Because her love for a member of the Indian school baseball team was not returned, Sarah Maddux, stud ent at the local government school, took a dose of poison ou tue night of February p, and died this morning at the school hospital after finger ing illness, from which there had been little hope of recovery.
 The young Indian girl last year at tended the Phoenix High school and this year returned to the Indian school to pursue her studies. She was said to be one of the brightest scholars that had ever attended the Indian school.
 According to what could be learned today, the girl was madly in love with one of the boys attending the school, member of the baseball team, but it seems her prOtestations of affection fell on def ears, and the lad did not return her love.
 Sarah Maddux was one Of the participants in the Washington birthday exercises, and at the time the lad in question did not attend to see how splendidly she had acquitted herself, fact that so preyed on the girls mind that upon returning to her room she swallowed several tablets of corrosive sublimate, being taken ill immediately.
 She was given medical attention at once. and by the exercise of great skill on the part of the attending doctor tine girl was kept alive until this morning when the vital spark, hlckering fsintly, died out entirely.

NEWS SUMNER
 STYLES IN FORGE

NEW fORh.-Men Of generous girth are sad today over the news from St. Louis. where the International Gus toms Cutters are doping out mems styles for the coming spring and sum- mer, that the corset coat is to be the one best bet for modish males.
 According to official announcement. man to be stylish when the robins nest again must resemble an animated exclamation point. The women who have been wrestling with hobble skirts for many months are paragons of grace and comfort to what the men will have to be The "corset coat" alone will be sufficient to make the laugh on them, but there are also the trousers to be reckoned with.
 The new style trousers will 1t so intimately it will be necessary to re- move the shoes to take off the gar ment. Gentlemen with overdeveloped pedal extremities may find il neccs- sary to use talcum powder and shoe horns.
 In adopting the new styles the sar- torial autocrats explain that We have had the foolish, over exaggerated man." and are now in for a siege of the under exaggerated man." They deny with exphasis that the adoption by women of "trouser skirts" had any thing to do with the determination to send men to the other extreme.
 The stalwart, bulging shoulders. football physiqued man will not be recognized by wife or sweetheart when his tailor gets through with him. He will look more like walking sardine. some of them like hour glasses.
 good idea of how the American man must look this spring may be had from the old caricatures of the dandy French count. Many of those who must suffer to keep in mode are the ones who have had the most fun at the expense of their wives over the hobble skirt
 The corset coat, at a preliminary meeting of the 175 garment makers in their thirty first annual convention in St. Louis. won easily over all compe- titors as the most startling proposi- ton that could he forced on American manhood. He will in some instances be more grotesque than one of the old timers in Shanghai coat, pegtop trous CTS and beaver hat.
 These clothes dictators are to decide cut as. Well as color for the men. The Scotch effect' and pencil stripes" in gray and browns and blues are to be the predominating colors Gray mix lures will be given the lead. Rich browns are to be close second. with blue running up a close third. All the other colors will be classed as belong. ing to dressers who have either some tailoring ideas of their own or no ideas at all.
 Shoulders will he slight, the chest full and the waist small. giving the effect of a corset they say. Sleeves also win be narrow. Padding will be placed about the chest instead of on the shoulders. as of yore.
 Coats win be single breasted, boldly rounded at the bottom. The "eut- away in many respects will resemble the frock coat now in style. Two but tons are to be de rigueur for those of bon ton. but the customs cutters fear the majority of American men win continue to insist upon three.
 The waistcoat is to be relegated to the side lines. Two piece suits are to be the height of fashion. and cuffs Win predominate on trousers made of fancing suiting.
