In this connection an interesting
rumor is going the rounds which
bears many Of the earmarks Of cred

ernor Mcdonald is just at present in
the act Of executing a flank move
ment the objective of which rs not the
governorship but the election as ma
uonal committeeman to succeed As
sistant Secretary Of the Interior A. A..

himself when the time comes to make
that selection, which VIII he during
the convention here this week

that Mr.. Jones will resign as national
committeeman upon announcing biz

amounts TO the same thing, that he
will not stand for reelection TO the
place on the committee which he now
holds In this very probable event It
is believed that Governor Mcdonald
would be elected as Mr. Jones sue
cessor without any opposition.

Shining or Serving.

"The trouble with him is that he is more
anxious to shine than to serve" That
was the comment made about man whose
name was under discussion for a place of
leadership. The critic explained what he
meant. This man had not been a good
servant of the organization, which now
needed leader. He had gifts all recog-
nized, but he was not faithful follower
and supporter of the previous leader. He
was anxious to lead, himself, so others seri-
ously thought.
Human nature seems always to have a
special weakness for this kind of thing,
which is but another form of vanity. An
office appears to some more desirable than
the opportunity of work that should ac-
company it. Honor without an equivalent
of service or sacrifice are empty.
So in the commonp laces of life we should
put our strength fully into our tasks with
out being influenced by outward rewards.
Penn S words may be appropriately quoted;
here: "No pain, no palm; no thorns, no
throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no
crown. - Selected.

AT RANDOM
From our Erchanqes
The Flagman

One OF the most important railway men
in the United States, ]. T. Harahan, and a
party of friends started to make journey
| southwark in private car which was at
tached to the rear end of limited train.
During the night their fagman was away
from the train when it stopped at tank
to receive water.
A second train following, receiving no
warning of the presence of the train ahead
through the fiagman, crashed into the end
of it and Mr.. Harahan and three of his
friends were killed. As far as investigation
shows it was evident that if the fagman had
been at proper distance in the rear of the
train the accident and deaths could not
have occurred.
The law of the statutes specially provides
that the rear end of every train shall be
protected by fagman who is supplied by
day with a red flag and torpedoes, and by
night with red lantern, torpedoes and
fuses. He is held responsible for the pro-
lection of the property and safety of the
lives of those in the train to which he be-
longs.
In the progress of our own everyday lives,
| each boy or man is not thus protected by
separate hagman. He must be not only
his own engineer, watching all that is ahead,
but his own hagman, protecting himself
from collisions which may come from be-
hind. The inspiring power for his flag
manship-ties must be within his own heart
and mind. He must train them so that
they see danger long before it approaches
and stop the on-rush.
Other people may temporarily act as
fagman for another by warning against
temptations, by explaining through expert
ences what is the difference between right
and wrong, but, in the main the hagman's
duties must be performed by ourselves.
We must carry our own red signals, our
own torpedoes, or our fuses to avoid the
pitfalls and to keep off of the narrow way
which we are travelling, the dangerous
things which can only bring ruin and DEATH
We can we'll afford to study the trying
duties of railway hagman in order to
apply their lessons to the daily conduct of
our own lives so that in the end we may be
able to display the white flag, the signal
''All is clear, all is safe. '-Ex.

What Have You Done

What have you done on this Mundane
Sphere
To make it worth while for you being here?
Have you carved your name.
In the Hall of Fame?
Or cherished friend of the yesteryear?
Have you braved the jeers of the multitude,
While the righteous course you still pur-
sued?
Did yon gather strength,
Through each weary length
Tho the jars were many and shocks were
rude?
Have you plodded on O. er each dreary mile,
With never frown and never a smile?
Have you mastered fate
And conquered hate
And stored up peace for the after-whlea
Have you entered into the battles heat,
And fought a good fight with courage
sweet?
Have you ventured all
In that battle call
Yet lost with a smile that sublimed defeat?
Is the world any better because you camel
Do the lips of love ever whisper your namei
Have you started a soul
Towards the perfect goal?
Or rescued foolish moth from the fame:
In your little hour, 0! what have you done
To earn your reward when the race is run:
For life is a song
But the silence is long.

The Right Road
By B. C..

By B. c.
The right road is long road
And at times it may be rough,
But don't leave it for the wrong road
That is paved with Sham and Bluff,
And don t mistake the smiling
Of the men who travel there
Or the gold that they are piling
AS a sign that all is fair.
For beneath the jewels shining
And the pleasures they possess,
And behind their hours of wining
There is fearful loneliness,
Though the road that they are TAX
ing
Seems splendid thoroughfare,
Hearts for honest joys are aching
And the lives they live are bare.
There are rough spots in the right
road,
There are dangers grim to face,
And its often not bright road,
But its free from all disgrace,
And its lined with friends to love
you
And it's joys are of the best,
And when stars come out above you
With a conscience clear, you rest.
A Song O. Cheer

Lot O. pleasure on the way
Just little sorrow,
Lot of sunshine yesterday

Cactus Rose
By J. B.
Sometimes | am longing to be far

To see the wild cactus once more,
To feel Old Sol rays in the dead heat

And feel the mad dash like of yore.
Where cattle stampede and your head
seems to burst
From the dust filled alkah plain,
Where lips become pursed and man
knows of that thirst,
long to be out there again.
Chorus
Way out there on that alkali plain,
How long to be out there again,
For there's some one out there who
waits still know
A rose in the plains where the thorn
ed cactus grow,
And ever to me she's girl full of
dare
To wait on the old cactus plain,
Where the land seems so bare, a
voice calls me there,
How long to be out there again.
There S a song of the plains when dusk
cools the air
When bright stars watch O er from
above,
And life knows no care beside one out
there
Every pain is soothed by her love,
And that's why IN longing to be far
away
In the land where the cactus grows,
To feel Old Sol's rays in the dead heat
of day,
And be with my fair cactus rose.
