of succcedira by luck
There is 40 more common
thought among 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 iGnisfatuus.
You may it to ruin, but not to
success. The great Napoleon, who
believed in his destiny, followed it
until he saw his star 60 down in
the blacklist night when the old
guard persisted around him, and
Waterloo was lost A pound of
pluck is worth a ton of luck.
Young men talk of trusting to
the spur of the occasion. That
trust is vain. Occasion cannot
make spurs. If you expect to make
spurs, you must win them. If you
wish to use them, you must buckle
them to your own heels before you
get into the fight. Any success you
may achieve is not worth the hav-
ing unless you fight for it. What
ever you win in life you must con-
quer by your own effort, and then
it is yours-a part Of yourself.
In giving you being God locked
up in your nature certain forces
and capabilities. What will you do
with them? Look at the mechanism

cherish and guard and use well the
forces God has given you. You may

will. Take off the strong curd of
discipline and morality, and you
will be an old man before your

forces Do not burn them out with
brandy, or waste them in idIeness

Save and protect them, that they

Honestly resolve to do this and you

Talk about snake stories. W. A.
McCreery southwest of Perry, tells
a corker. One Sunday afternoon
recently he killed 33 snakes mostly
blue racers from 2 IL feet to 4
feet in length. One of his.children
noticed some snakes near an old
abandoned coal mine, and he pre-
ceeded to kill them, and while at
the job snakes made for their holes
from every direction. He slew
them until he was tired, and when
the battle was over 33 big snakes
were lying around. This is a true
snake story, as Mr.. Nc. is a truth
full man.-Perry Enterprise,

Today President P. J.. Elan

managers of the railroads, in a
last attempt to avoid a strike.
The general managers weuld
not listen to Flannery and at
noon, the six thousand men were
called out.
All the freight depots m Chi
cage were turned into armed forts
this afternoon. The police force,
already having to work overtime
to meet the demands Of the Trust
Publishers, was called upon to
supply men to guard non-union
freight handlers at every deRot.

HAD UNIQUE BOOZE SCHEME.
Carried Liquor in Vessel with Lard
In False Top.
(Greenville News, 3Oth.)

Many unique schemes are formu-
lated to store and transport whiskey,
but one came to light In the record
er's court here yesterday afternoon
which was as ingenious as anything
recorded in police court annals. The
concocter Of the plan, George Ben
son, was not given any credit for his
originality, but was tried and con-
victed on the plain charge Of storing
:ooze. The recorder imposed a fine
oe $50 or prison sentence of thirty
days.
The project in question was made
of an ordinary looking lard bucket,
which was equipped with a shallow
pan which fitted exactly in the top Of
the pail. This pan was filled with
lard, inserted in the bucket, and then
the lid could be put on. To all ap-
pearances the device was perfectly
innocent, but under the shallow pan
of lard was space large enough to
hold about gallon of whiskey, and
this space was utilized by the owner
for such purpose.

In government circles, especially
IN the army and navy and signal

particularly close.

CLAYTON NICHOLS SEES GREAT
CHANGES IN CHINA IN % YEARS
Customs and Habits Of the People Have Undergone Complete
Transformation, Says Local Man Now in Hong Kong

The impressions of former Grand
Junction man in China after ten
years absence are aptly set forth in
brief letter received here today by
Raymond Nichols, nephew of J. Clay
ton Nichols.
The reality of the awakened Chi
nese republic was fully appreciated
by Mr.. Nichols as he writes to his
relative. The letter follows:
Hong Kong Hotel, Hong Kong,
March 20, 1912.
Dear Ray:
l have heard and read so much
about fighting around Canton that
| was anxious to see some of it; SO
| went up there overland. Soldiers
were in evidence in all towns, but
everything seemed peaceable.
1t had been ten years since | was
in Canton before. There has been
such a change in the people that /
could scarcely realize that | was in
one of the greatest cities OF China.
The world has never seen such a
wonderful transformation in such a
short period.
In my former travels through Chi
ma | never saw any man without a
pigtail, except the priests; and on
this trip | saw one old man wearing
pigtail and carrying a goosefeather
fan. | also saw one young boy who
still had his queue; but, of the thou
sands upon thousands that / saw,
they were the only two.
They have almost entirely discard
ed the little black skull-cap that all
the better class of Chinese wore. The
great majority of them wear caps the
same as the travelling Americans
wear or three-fourths of the British
workmen wear in their own country.
Thousands of the well-to-do have also
discarded the long gowns and have
adopted European dress.
The soldiers that | used to see
wearing baggy trousers with the seat
hanging to the knees and carrying
umbrellas, now wear modern Euro
pean style of uniforms and caps, and
carry breech-loading rifles of late pat
terms.
missed the yellow flag with its
dragon, but in its stead saw the red
flag with the sun in one corner and
the striped flag of the republic.
THE awakening of China" has
been drummed into my ears for a
decade; but the giant seemed to be
sleeping SO soundly that + thought
it would take nearly century to dis
turb its slumbers. When il does
awaken, the rest of the world had
better look out.
Your affectionate uncle,
CLAYTE.
