Tothk AMiiiTioL'f. Viewed fiom a
Bellish standpoint, thcieis nothing so
helpful us struggle in attaining au am'
bltion. Just think what a crowd tlieie
would bo at the top, if the mountain of
purpose were bored for a safety eleva
tor like some of the Alpine summits.
But Just because there is no beaten
track but only chilling reverses, thcie
is and always will be room for those
who are successful. The strenuous ef
fort that a writer bas to put forth, for
instance; tbe delays in recognition; the
pittance of pay. All these continue
year after year, wear out tbe feeble
hearted and givo larger Geld for tbe
lion-hearted who, even if unsuccessful
at first, out of their failures get
strength for later successes.

To Ckoakkhs: If the balloonist now
drifting aeioss the fiignl noith nsseit
ed that his beloved homeland diil not
exist, for the reason that it was out of
sight, he would not be inoie unieasoti
able than we who decide the world to
be rotrogruding and worthless as a
whole, just because wo ounelves, aie
retrograding or our outlook ischeet
less. The world is witltt anil the view
of any one person is narrow. Because,
perhaps, for us theieisuo good thing
at this moment wo may even deny blas
phemously tbat theie is hiinshiue for
anybody, for we try to believe only in
those things wo see. We see Bullish
ness but we do not see far enough, for
there is much else in tbe world that is
better; we see immorality near us but
we must be blind if wc conclude,
therefore, tbat all women or all men or
both are plunged iu a seething caldron
of vice. Take a broad view of life, and
despite murdeis, rapine, cruelty, you
will be convinced the bawls of time
move forward. Hear iu mind to your
comfort tbat the things of good aie
ever quieter than the things of evil,
and yet as the quiet river ei odes the
land more mightily and moie elTee
tually than volcanic outbreaks, m
bese quiet elements of humanity aie
working our whole selvesever iipwaid,
despite the crashing noises of down-
waid tendencies.

To AM The death of an individual,
however prominent, niatteis very little
except to a few immediate fiientls and
relatives. The few who Miller loss are
as nothing to the millions who, not
knowing the deceased, feel no poignant
giicf at his ilepaitmc. If nil 1 have
ever written before is false, this at
least is true and true universally.
Viewed from inside, our owu hearts,
some of us feel pulled up with impor
tance; viewed from without we are
only units iu a vastciowd, each unit
living its life and then perishing; tin
mourned and uncared for by most of
tbe units around. The only thing of
interest to tbesui vivois is the record of
things dou9. Tho trees we plant live
after us and .shelter geneiations that
follow; tho crops we grow feed other
mouths thau ours; our deeds, good or
bad, do live on; the good is not "in
terred with our bones " Tilings done
and not merely dieamed about are the
things that make us have interest for
our fellow cieaturos. And lhenwoikri
must be done without expectation of
full recognition. An ofteiing of
precious herviee to the woild is and
must be laigely impersonal, for though
our deeds may be widcspicad, our in
dividually is known to but few. This
is ns it is with our ruleis We know
them as names only, nnpeisonal they
remain always until we see them.

It will be hem illy endorsed by tho Ne

and accurately expresses their senti

United States is said to be unusually
large; and
Whereas, Tho price of wheat bas
been advanced by tho money power;
be it
Resolved, That the condition of the
farmer can never be improved by large
crops or large returns lor tno same,
due to the iniquitious machinations
and manipulations of Wall street; and
Resolved, That wo view with alarm
and denounce with indignation the al
leged inciease in tho production of
wheat and the ilemand for the same;
and
Resolved. That the alleeed foreien
demand for wheat is indubitably nn
artilicial crisis produced by the Roths

Resolved, That the wheat crop and
the pi ice of wheat cannot be increased
or made normal bv natural ami honest

at the ratio of IU to 1 has stimulated

the down-tindden faimer from the

Board of Commissioners ot Webster

According to your order I have ex
amined tho section line between section
86, town 8, range 11, and section 2,
town 2, range 11. If it can bo done
without paying excessive damages, I
would recommend the road to bt lo

follows. Commencing at corner sec
tions l-2-n5-fJ6, running west along sec
tion line 7.00 chains, thence north 70
degrees and 75 minute? west 4.25
chains; thence south 72 degrees west
9.50 chains; thence, south 34 degrees
west 1.50 chaius, intersecting noith
liueof section line road; thence west
along said section line to one-fourth
post between sections 2 and It5. Meas
urements are given on north line of
proposed road. I enclose a plat of
proposed road, total amount of ground
from section line to north of
proposed road is 2 acres, amount on
proposed angling toad 4 rods wide 1
acres. I would also advise that a very
good route for a road can be had on
the south side of this line within about
sixteen rods of said line. In my opin
ion a road can be made cheaper on
south side than on north side.
