tribe of Indians, 1000 miles from CIV

Lang gives a picturesque description
of the savages, who, he says, took
him for a god. embracing his feet to
show their devotion. Their tools. he
writes, are of stone, and their
ideas so unusual as to suggest their
belonging to another age. The Jew
ish cast of their features might lead
one to infer that they were of the
lost tribes did not their ignorance OF
iron and writing argue against 1t.

WEST PLEAsEs BANKERS.
Conventions Delegates Express Hope
in Our Future.

Denver.-The fourth annual con-
Association adjourned with a feeling
among the delegates in regard to
Denver, Colorado and the West that
they had never had before. There
were many expressions from former
officers and delegates on this subject.
Retiring President A. B. Leach. in
a speech at the closing banquet, said:
I'VE shall go back to our homes,
we shall go back to other caiions
builded by the hand OF man-those
cailons which we daily toll in on La
Sale street, and Wall street. and
States street; we shall see again the
mighty whirl OF n nations commerce,
treading its way in that busy hive. but,
gentlemen, we shall never see there
the glorious sunshine, the wonderful
hopefulness that must come into
every one when he sees and feels the
sunshine and feels the wind and the
daylight that we have today.
I'VE shall go back with fuller ap-
probation of why Western men al
ways look at things in a broad. great
way, we SHell Bo Ddch "ith thc
knowledge of why Western men are
always hopeful; we shall go back with
a stronger confidence that whatever

have a stronger confidence because
those projects shall be carried for

THE cOMPLAiNER.

You are not altogether satisfied with
yourself, with others, with your en-
vironment, with conditions. Nobody is
satisfied. Neither you nor anybody
else will ever be completely satisfied.
Full satisfaction leads to stagnation.
The satisfied man is a fool, intoxicated
with his own satisfaction, never sober
enough to do more than stagger along
the road of life.
The complete optimist is no better
than the contented pig in the well-kept
sty.
Regulated dissatisfaction, dissatis-
faction based upon fact, is forerun-
ner of success.
There is, however, a wide gulf be-
tween legitimate dissatisfaction and
that which consumes the chronic COM
palmer. the disreputable knocker, and
the everlasting kicker.
Life is made up Of Alternatives and
negatives. One without the other is
incomplete. The two properly blended
are part of the composition OF success.
The habitual complainer is an enemy
to himself, and he is despised by all
with whom he comes in contact. He Is
failure at the start, and will be a
failure as long as he INDUCES in
chronic dissatisfaction.
Conversely, the complete optimist is
dangerous to himself and a menace to
society, because he does not know
enough to get out OF the ruts or to
keep from stumbling into holes.
Dissatisfaction has value only
II tn hot nrf
When 1t deadens ones faculties, as it
often does. and takes the gimp out OF
him, 30 to- speak. 1t Is an evil of the
most virulent form.
Nobody likes the constant complain
or. He has no friends. He does not
occupy any position of responsibility.
and he never will. He cannot manage
himself or command others. He has
no respect for himself and nobody re-
spects him. He is no better than a
dead log floating on the stream, accom-
plishing nothing and serving only as a
menace to navigation.
Everybody has troubles, and while
every decent man is willing to help
than a part OF his time to listening to
complaints. and he should not give any
Of his time to those which are not
legitimate ones and which he cannot
assist in remedying.
Keep your troubles to yourself OF
confine them to your immediate
friends. Ninety per cent Of trouble
doesn't appear. 1t exists wholly in the
mind.
Don't make . specially of worrying
There is real trouble to worry about
and enough to keep you busy.
Kick when there is something real
to kick at. You will strain yourself
and sprain your leg II you kick al
