HOW TO GET RICH.

Live up to your engagement
Earn money before you spend It,
Never play at any game of chance.
Drink no kind of intoxicating liquor
Good character is above all things else.
Keep your own secrets, if you have
any
Never borrow if you can possibly avoid
it.
Always speak the truth. Make few
promises.
Keep good company or none. Never
be idle.
Do not marry until you are able to
support wife.
x eep yourself innocent if you would be
happy.
Ever live misfortune excepted) within
your income.
When you speak to person look him
in the face
Make no haste to be rich if you would
prosper.
Save when you are young TO spend
when you are old.
Avoid temptation through fear you
may not withstand it
Never speak evil of any one. Be just
before you are generous.
Never run into debt without you see
plainly way TO get out again.
Small and steady gains give compe-
tency with tranquility ofmind.
Good company and good conversation
are the very sinews of virtue.
Your character cannot be essentially
injured except by your own acts.
If any one speaks evil of you let your
life be so that none will believe him.
When you retire to bed think over
what you have been doing during the day.
If your hands cannot be usefully EN-
ploved, attend to the cultivation of your
mind.

The citizen., 1911-03-10

Women know the worst of poverty. It
is the wife who has the spending of the
insufficient income. who learns ali the
bitter WAYS of scrimpng and pairing and
saving. The husband must present a
decent appearance for policy's sake,
when he goes to business; certain things
are necessities for the children; and so
the heaviest of all the deprivations fall
upon the woman who STAYS at home and
strives to make one dollar do the work
of five. This is the way of the ordinary
woman; and what sacrifices she makes,
what tastes she crucifies, what longings
for pretty things and dainty things she
smothers. not even her own family guess.
They think it is an eccentricity that makes
her choose the neck OF chicken and the
hard end of the loaf and to stay home
from any little outing. All, if they only
knew
The citizen., 1911-03-10

Sometime one has more flowers piled
on his coffin and grave than he ever had
given to him In all his life. We want our
flowers while we are living. The dead
are past all that. If we would do good
let us do it while we are alive to those
who are living.

The ELECTRIC LIGHTING con-
TRACT.

The electric lighting contract is,
in a sense, the rock upon which the
Council and the Citizens Committee
split and which has led to the con-
teItion now being considered by the
people.
At the beginning the Citizens Com
mittee protested against contract
which would exceed the term of the
office of the commissioners of the
present administration and to the
rates offered by the lighting com
pany for renewal of their contract,
which expired in July.
The scale for lighting was reduced
from $500 to S62.50 for street lights
aud corresponding decrease in the
rates to consumers.
For this result full credit should
be given to the Citizens Committee.
The Citizens Committee resisted
the contract for the reason that they
were opposed to the city being
bound hand and foot to a corpora
ton.
The committee as a last resort has
appealed to the referendum, antici-
pating thereon vote of approval or
disapproval, which was delayed, and,
so to speak, side tracked. !
On October IL the taxpayers are
expected to vote on a proposed bond
issue of $4,000 for the requirement
of a municipality owned electric light
plant. If this issue is defeated, then
three days thereafter the qualified
voters regardless of being owners of
property will express their views
thereon.
The verdict of disapproval of the
six years contract as proposed by
the commissioners will be over
whelmed in defeat.
But the bond issue will prevail.
This declaration is warranted by
the citizens who favor municipal
ownership of public utilities.
The sum and substance of the is
sue is that the. people do not want
and would not favor a contract with |
the lighting company that would
bind the city hand and foot.
The people stand for and will be
satisfied with nothing until they ac-
quire the ownership Of their public
utilities, electric lights now and
waterw0rks next.

When the local expressman drew UP
his big gray horses in front of the
Lam6in gate the neighbors were all
wide eyed incredulity. The man had
surely made a mistake No one had
ever seen an express package so
through that gate before. and this was
not even Christmas.
Inside the Lamdin house the wide
eyed incredulity was duplicated. In
response to the expressman's imperi-
Gus summons the door was opened by
a slim woman with household drudge
stamped legibly all over her. She
shook her head at the big box: Il
