MANY FRIENDS
MOURN DEATH OF
J. II. LINDQUIST
Continued from page y


ter of Mr. and Mrs. John Dunn, pio-
neer residents of this community, and
to the union three children were
born, who with his devoted wife, his
mother, who lives east and several
brothers and sisters, mourn his un-
timely death.
Funeral services will be held in the
Congregational church Sunday after
noon at 2 o'clock, Rev. D. Ellis Evans
conducting the last sad rites.
}. II. Lindquist was man of splen-
did attainment and numbered his
friends by his acquaintance; he was
a member of the B. P. o. f. lodge of
this city and was popular with his
brothers in that fraternity; he was
loving husband, devoted father and
a faithful friend and the sympathy
of the entire community goes out to
his bereaved wife and three children.
1t is difficult to realize that ]. H.
Lindquist is no more. The grim
reaper stops at the door of every

messenger en- the pale horse, comes
and delivers his message and none can
gain-stay him.
J. II. Lindquist possessed that
wealth that is the immemorial heri-
tage of those who have realized that
God is good and the world worth
while. He knew the love of home and
ehildren-the real love-and that is
much. His requiem will be breathed
by many and it will be soft with the
signs of haunting regret But to
his devoted wife and his loving chill
dren it will be hallowed with a pride
and tenderness born of memories more
enduring than the chaplets woven for
the brow of living achievement.
To his gracious wife nothing can
be of any comfort except the memory
of the delightful years of their happy
life. To his children nothing can sus-
tain them as they grow older except
that death but marks the terminal of
life's journey and that it is the
state that prepares the
neophite for initiation into the
splendor of the never-ending
day.

der that it is hailed as the gladdest
season of all the year.
Carbon county citizens may well
expect much this year. The past
years hav drought them more bless
ings than they have ever counted but
after all happiness and grief, success
and failure, prosperity and adversely
are relative terms.
Becoming a eynic is as easy as fall
ing off log. All you have to do
IS shut your eyes tight to one set of
facts and open them wide to another
set. Magnify the evil about you and
minimize the good; focus your eyes
on the faults and foibles of your
neighbors; brood often and long on
the wrongs done society, not forget
ting to regard as hypocrites the
great souls who suffered in order to
make our rugged way a little smooth
er; imply Interior motives to the poor
deluded folks who say they believe in
their fellows; exercise daily with the
hammer; fit emblem of the chronic
knoeker. Pursue such a course Tor
weeks and months and you develop
into an accomplished eynic, pessi-
mist of the most purple hue.
Fully as easy as the road to cyni-
eism is the way leading to that
Fools Paradise where Pollyana
optimism supplies the rarified air
and supplies the eloudiess skies. To
become an ardent optimist about all
one has to do is shut out the drab
and sorbid facts of life, ignore the de-
signs and devices of wicked men, re-
fuse to see peril in organized evil,
swear every day that the world is
growing better and that the old folks
and the young folks and the children
and society and conditions are a darn
sight better than they were in grand |
mas day, make a blame nuisance of
yourself blowing pretty bubbles of
good cheer about the neighborhood
until everyone you meet feels like T
taking club and Draining you. When
you reach that delectable point you
may feel satisfied that you are a real,
honest-to-goodness optimist. But
don't forget that horses laugh and
parrots talk and hyenas smile.
But, thank goodness, there is
middle ground. To occupy that very
preferable place all you have to do
S to look the world squarely in the
ace, seeing things as they are and
aking into account both good and
vii.

eeupy that middle ground. It's all

AN APPRECIATION
To Our Contemporary

Only neighbor in a western town,
People come here and settle down,
Where they plant new family tree,
Without ancestry in the ladies' tea.
But he was busy and so was I,
Only time for word as we passed by,
With western instinct one could see,
The fellow showed a good pedigree.
His paper always came out promptly,
Neat, trim and accurate as big daily
Clean and crisp and wholesome to
take,
Like creamy biscuits tnat mothers
bake.
He took great pride in that little
sheet,
And sighed with relief as it flew up
