Some one asked Capt. Alexander where

True it is, some persons who desire sun
shine and good fellowship extended to
them, to make this life of isolation bearable
are so Indifferent to those who are also en-
deavoring to alleviate their own burdens by
seeking their share, tho meager, as it may
be. We are all human and our endeavor
should be utilized to up lift our unfortun-
ate fellowmen and show a disposition TO
help him to higher plain, instead of plac-
ing obstacles in his path to better his pro-
gress, as seems the height OF some beings
aspirations. When a man shows will to
do that which is right and extends helping
hand or thoughtful kind word, he is ex-
ercising good judgment, which developes
a character within him that embodies true
honest manhood. To aid our felIowmen
is the greatest pleasure and should be en-
joyed by one and all, by the kindest con
sideration of their welfare thru our words
and actions.
