Proves Himself Hunter

We clip the following from the
Denver Labor Bulletin, Of October
l, 1921, relative to Ed, better known
as Elias Anderson, a former local
man:
"Ed Anderson. secretary treasurer
of the Colorado State Federation Of
Labor-and Nimrod
"The additional title is not mythical
not by jug full The veteran labor
man has earned the cognomen, or else
his friends have Ananias backed off
the boards
Anderson. accompanied by a more
youthful Captain Bogardus and Paul
Hardy nodded into one, went TO
Steamboat Springs last week and
knocked off the limit of grouse in jig
time. They were the guests Of
Charles H. Leckenby of the Steam
boat Piloa and the Oak Greek Times,
and F. w. Davis, county treasurer.
They were going to have the time Of
their lives with Anderson. He fooled
EN- They figured he would last about
an hour at mountain climbing and
couldn't hit flock of barns with a
machine gun. Anderson not only was
the first to reach the top of each
mountain but he surprised the ma
tives with his craftsmanship.
"The best that Leckenby and Davis
could do was to catch blue grouse of
elephantine proportions asleep in the
trees and bowl them over with shot
guns Anderson used a twenty-five
repeating rifle AMI brought down the
pin tail grouse, going 70 miles an
hour. His shooting was a revelation.
"Any one who doubts the above can
ask his frien's who were the recip-
tents of birds. Next year the secre-
tary-treasurer and his family are go
ing to spend three weeks in the hills
about Steamboat They will go in
time for the grouse and remain until
the deer season is over"

FATHER"
Patiently you bore your pain;
Thanks be to God, twas not in vain
For He gently gave you rest.
Now you mingle with the blest.
Your path was not all strewn with
flowers;
But we'll all meet some dark hours
We wonder why God so does plan
But some day well Understand.
Father, we will miss you so,
Twas so hard to let you go.
You have left us here alone,
But the angels bore you home.
Peacefully we know you rest,
Pillowed on the Savior's breast.
With the angels now you sing,
Praises to your Heavenly King.
Now your toll on earth is DER,
And wei kiss you just once more.
It's hard to part, but soon Wei
meet
At the blessed Savior's feet.

"And He Took Up His Bed and
Walked"

"And He Took Up His Bed and
Walked"
Twenty centuries ago, Christ heal
ed a man who was lame, by telling
h m to take up his bed and walk.
And he took up his bed and walk
ed.
up with the right foot first, or the
if he couldn't wait until he was less
tired-but he stood up, and he was
healed
If he hadn't stood up he would
doubtless have been lame the rest
of his days.
Similarly, the way to do anything
it to get busy and do it. Henry w.
Longfellow once said that to him
the most amazing thing about life
was the wav in which difficulties dis
appeared when one grappled with
them.
Two-thirds of the obstacles we see
ahead of us are imaginary phantoms
the other third usually prove 10
be incentives TO greater effort that
help rather than handicap in the long
run.
In fact. religious leaders of many
faiths have taught that trials and
tribulatons and temptations are
sent by Providence to mold and
temper the stuff of which we are
made-to fevelop our souls for all
truly great souls have suffered. and
thru SUFFERING acquired that div ne
sympathy and understanding that
makes true greatness.
And IN cnntact pf wits thnrn
a positive advantage in taking the
initiative and doing something. 1t
is the attacking army that Seter-
mines the mode of fighting used--the
defensive force must adapt itself 10
Il as best it may.
So do something promptly. Bet
ter TO be active and aggressive and
make an occas onal mistake, than to
never make an error simply because
you never do anything.
Roosevelt, the most truly typical
American of his age, was national
idol mainly because of that quality
he might make mistakes. but he
could not be accused of that vacilla-
ton which marks some of those in
high places today.
So next time when the obstacles
seem thickest, take another hitch in
vour belt. and pillow in. The highest
point of wave is just before it be-
gins to recede.
Every obstacle overcome develops
~trength to down two more. The
Lord never sent a difficulty without
sending the means to vanouish It,
The fault lies in not looking far
enough for the means.
