For Steadfast Peace.

God puts within our reach the pow.
er of hoipfulness, the ministry of pity;
he is ever ready to increase his grace
in our hearts, that as we live and act
We may learn by slow degrees skill
and mystery of consolation. IF ye
know these things, happy are ye If ye
do them" There is no surer way of
steadfast peace in this world than the
active exercise of pity; no happier
temper of mind and work than the
lowly watching TO see if we can lessen
any misery that is about us; nor is
there any better way of growth in
faith and love.-Francis Paget.

SHOW SUPREMACY OF SOUL
Bright Spots In Dark Incidents Of
the Great Conflict Going on
In Europe.

Courage is the universal possession
of the German, the Englishman. the
Frenchman, the Belgian, the Austrian.
the Russian and the Japanese. The
stories of individual GOODNESS and dar-
ing are SO many that they have al
most ceased to attract special atten-
ton. Tie other day, when the Brit
ish dreadnaught Formidable went
down in /: storm, crushed like an egg
shell by torpedoes or mines. its cap
tain-Loxley-was on the bridge as it
sank; and his last words were:
Steady men; it's all right; keep cool;
do not get in a panic; be British"
Every officer was at his post; many
of them had lighted cigarettes. This
stirring exhibition of the fact that
the man does not die when his body
falls in the trenches or sinks in the
ocean can be matched in every navy
and army. All Europe is fighting for
invisible things. There never was
such universal and commanding evi-
dence that the soul of humanity is su-

Denyer.-The average man who fails
TO make good as a farmer does SO be-
cause he has too little capital. too lit
tie grit or both, in the opinion of Pres
dent c. A. Lory of the Colorado Agri-
cultural college, who spoke at the v.
NJ. C. A. on Farm Life in Colorado
He emphasized the point that man
must be intelligent to operate farm
successfully in Colorado. In the irri-
gated sections many men know SO lit
tie about irrigation that their problem
soon becomes one of draining their
and. not irigating it, he said.
"Three classes of men in the city
want to go to the farm" he said. "One
is the young fellow born on farm
who has made a mistake in trying to
make living in the city. He doubt
less should go back. Another Is the
city boy who thinks he is farmer. He
should look out and should try farm
life about six months before definitely
determining to become u farmer.
1.-The third is the young man who
has married a country girl and is un
able to talk her out of the idea of re
turning to the farm. His job is to grit
his teeth and try it"

ST. Valentine IN YEAR 1754
Love PLANTS Of Youths and Maidens

Some folks fnd everything worse

the behavior of youth Is condemned ~

called unconscionably silly In regard

Probably the popular song of today
Ia the most inane form that the alpha
bet has ever taken. And yet in the
eighteenth century The Cabinet of
Love; or Cupid's Repository" used to
contain this sort of thing.
The beauties of her polished mind,
It needs no lovers eye to find;
The hermit freezing in his cell,
Might wish the gentle Flavia well.
Certainly the gentle Flavia deserved
"the book" And Just listen:

contemporary popular song, but 1t isn't

question of county option at which

of the votes was had which re-

''Drys" making their majority 80.
The other questions in the
contest were set for trial for Sep

judge but last Friday the "Wets"
having little hope of success and
fearing that in the event of a trial
they would be called upon to pay
a large bill of costs, instructed
their attorneys to dismiss the

judgment of dismissal on the
merits was entered. This effectu-
