A Complete Success

A piano recital rendered the
music lovers of our city by the
enterprising firm of A. l. Lien
at his store on Wednesday was
complete success in every way.
A considerable crowd was pre-
sent and all enjoyed the music
greatly.
The C.axton Parlor Grand
which was used during the re-
cital possesses a wonderful tone,
clear and beautiful; it clearly
bears out all that is claimed for
this splendid instrument. This
particular piano will be given
absolutely free to some one OF
their customers by A. l. Lien
on July 9Th, 1914, as has been
announced in his advertising
during the past few weeks.
Some one is going to receive a
beautiful present.
All who were present at the
recital tender their thanks to A.
I. Lien for his generous enter.

When your brother man you
measure.

When your brother man you
measure,
Take him at his best;
Something in him you can treasure,
Overlook the rest.
Though, of his, some trail or felter.
May not suit you to the letter.
Trust hint will make him better,
Take him at his best.
Praise will make him worth the
praislng.
fake him at his best;
Keep the fire of purpose blazing,
Ever at his breast.
Do not frown upon or scold him;
In the strength of faith unfold
him;
To his highest yesrnings mold him
Take him at his best.
How many of US do take our
fellow men at their best, 1t seems
to me natural for some people to
always be looking at the wrong side
of things, and keep forgetting that
there is always two sides to every
question. AS the mind thinketh so
it is. Therefore if the mind is evil
we can not expect good TO come
from it. AND if the mind is good il
will thinketh no evil. and will take
their brother man at his best.
How many have been fortunate
enough to have found the perfect
man or woman, Christ and his
mother Mary gives us a realization
of what the perfect man or womas
should be. How many OF us have
attained that ideal?
There is no one SO bad but what
they could be worse and no one
so good but what they could be
better. There is certainly some
thing good in every one that is
worth while treasuring, even If
there are some traits which we do
not understand, and that does rot
suit us to the letter. We do not
seem to realiz, that perhaps we too
may have some traits that Others do
not understand. This quotation is
worth while committing 20 memory:
There Is so much bad In the best
OF us. and so much good IN the worst
OF US, that 10 behooves none OF us to
say any Ill OF the rest OF u.s." Why
not take peop'e at their best? Did
we ever give any one a push down
the hill by praising themP ! don't
believe you could push them very
far down. do you? Do we ever help
by frownine or scolding, or do we
only hinder? 1t depends entirely
upon the disposition or character OF
the person you scold or frown upon.
But frowning or scolding will never
do very much good, and may do a
great deal OF harm. II one is of q
strong character. neither scolding or
frowning will hurt. for one of that
type will be able to stand alone.
But what OF the one who is weak?
Dare we risk scolding or frowning
upon such one? We might pro-
ncunce doom far worse than death.
Why should we consider ourselves
some great god who Is able to
measure our brother man? II we
will just stop to consider the beam
IN our own eyes, we will have more
charity toward the mote In our
bro theirs eye.

At 2 o'clock this afternoon reports
from the various precincts showed
that a total of 1,216 votes had been

will be cast before the polls close.
The heaviest b%alloting appears to
be in the First ward where the latest
reports show 245 ballots cast. The
lightest vote Is in the Third ward.
where only 76 votes had been cast
when the reports were received.

Although not pleased with the rainy

While the heavy vote shows that
considerable interest is being taken
in the election in all parts of the city.
the voters seem to be in a ~peaceable
