One OF the lessons to learn early in
life is to rely on your own strength Of
body and mind, to listen to the advice
given; use butiitte Of it for every man
you meet will offer you areceipt. Fire
above the target you are insen ling to
hit. Untiring energy with right mo-
tives and consideration, will place you
well in the world.
Old adages are the every daY Weap
ons OF man. Often after every argu-
ment fails, an old saw proves convinc-
ing. Some of these old aphorisms con-
vey abominabIe lies. This one for ex-
ample, ''too many irons in the fire. -
Keep them all going-poker, tongs,
bellows, hammer-for mind aud muscle
conquer anything,
If you want 6 rule that will bring
you happiness and riches worth while,
remember the delightful things that
have passed you on the road of life and
forget the abominable, crael, distress
ing things met on the road.
Some people are always sitting in
Judgment on others; always placing Il
wrong meaning on the actions of 9th
ers, always reading into acts meanings
never intended. 1t may be concluded
] that people who do this, have been Or
are guilty of the wrorgs they are at'ri
buting to Others. People who can Fl ID
social carrion anywhere, must be socisl
buzzards.
1t is by thinking the same thoughts
that causes people to grow sussicioas,
stupid, cranky and lazy Oaly those
who think in vicious circles. are known
as the town grouches. Their thoughts
remind you of horse in a tread-milI,
always moving but never getting any
where. It would be a good thing for
any town if the Old street rusts would
try to digest some other fellows ideas
instead Of spending so much of their
time on their pre-digested thoughts.
Change Of mental diet will improve
their mental dyspepsia.
It isihard to deal with ignorance be-
cause it will not listen to reason. 1t is
usually stupid, stubborn and quarrel
soma. 1t is never ready for the truth,
and light is very offensive to it. 1t is
wise in its own conceit and is always
crying ''let good enough alone" Ia
the eyes of ignorance a physically big
man is always brainy man, and a
dashingly stylishly dressed woman is a
good woman. This is beef worship and
dress worship. 1t is one Of the age
old bluffs of the world. All who pat
sho Y and the sensuous fret are in their
childhood.
The man who gets above the dead
level Of any business, must take chane-
es and have nerve and real grit. Any
body can live on dead level OF make
failure, but the public has but little
use for such folks. It has plenty Of
them walking the streets or living IN
the country. The man who succeeds
must expect human failures to c-i;iciz
him and attribute his success TO som
base intrigue. Success is wrought out
of undertakings that Weaklings say
cannot be done. Success is sReeter if
it is attained after long delays, many
struggles and dsfea g. Any person liV
ing on his fathers earnings is failure.
Any person who made his money or
gained his position dishonestIy, is a
failure.
Nothing has happened in Kansas 10
the last three years to give her such
national prominence as the amending
of her Constitution, giving her women
right to vote. The attorney general
has announced that any woman who
desires Co have her vote count in the
coming elections, must have her mama
registered. The August primaries are
almost upon Us. II We are to have
real representation OF all the people,
you women must go Co the Mayors Of
fee and there register with the city
clark or Won will Iosa YOUR vote. You
