MINER
f January is now one of the best months. Yerrs ago the first month of the year was an extremely dull
period for dry goods retailers. Coming as it does between seasons some inducements must be of
fered to create a lively trade. To the consumer nothing is so attractive as STAPLE GOODS AT
LESS THAN USUAL PEICES.

JsOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS.
BY "NEUO."

Thoro camo across my path a fow
days since, a young man of wide read
ing but not of doop thought who had
among other things, saturated his mind
with tho thoughts of Schoponhaur, tho
pessimist. In weary tones ho told of
tho disappointments and sorrows of
life, of tho sollishncss of human beings,
of tho savagery into which some of us
And it bo easy to drop, of tho curso of
oducatiou in openlug beforo us all vast
fields of learning that Timo prevents
us from traversing, of the mockery of
life in glvinR us u mero poop of groat
things and thon sonding us onward
into death and darkness. Tho dreary
catalogue of woo-strloken thoughts
grow more and more Irksome ns it pro
gressed, and 1 fear thoro woro replies
given more forceful than polite. Since
he Is ono of a class, may I just In a fow
orowded words, repeat some things
that woro said during my pwttonof
tho conversation.
1 bollovo that a man talks only In
rtiich gloomy fashion when ho is an In
tense ogotlst that he icgauls tho world
as, under obligations to circle for him
and his pleasure; that ho makes tho
centre of the universo a mere spook of
complaining humanity; nnd that bis
own littlo toothache or his own little
misery is alono used in estimating tho
feelings of others.
I beliovo that rainy days have thoir
plnco fully ns much as days of sunshine
in bringing forth tho fruits of the
earth. So I beliovo that nono of us
bring forth our best when all Is sun
shine As tho glnzo and glaro of tho
blazing sun causo tho desert, so perfect
case of lifo develops desert men
and women, who make tho counter
part of tho wasted miles of Sahara, in
tho wasted years of their lives ardontly
spent for self and theroforo hostile to
every othor human being. I must be
liovo this or else regard the Creator as
a mero teaser of men.
1 believe that tho selfishness of hu
man beings is more talked about than
real. Evon among tho poor and that
includes most of us there is so much
unselfish helping of ono another, littlo
dolos of kindness given with freehand
out of almost empty wallets, that ono
Is compelled to beliovo that the ex
ample of tho majority of us will Anally
becomo tho guide of tho world. As Sir
Edwin Arnold says, "All the poor are
piteous to tho poor," so as long ns the
poor lust piiy will last and when the
pool and giief strained ceiiio, pilj will
no longer bo noeded.
I beliovo that though eavagory nnd
grossness lurk it the breasts of all of
us, thoro is an increasing control of tho
hereditary inner savage, and that tho
general orderliness of daily lifo pro
claim this truth. To provo it, run
over in your mind tho things your im
pulses would drive you toward; nnd
then seo how your hesitancy is con
firmed into active enmity to those foot
ings by your knowledge of the stand
ard society mpdo up of units like
yoursolf expect? of you. To boo what
wo wero a fow centuries ago, ono might
go to the natives of South Africa. Ac
cording to tho word of a missionary
bishop, they aro so unused to control
by reason of conturies lacking in it,
that at preset it is impossible tor the
Roman Catholic church to ordain na
tive priests thoro. So foreiga to their
thought is any desire for boH conquest
on behalf of others that colibacy is an
absolute bar ngainstllum. But under
our civilization when thoro is reason
for restraint, both men and women
pass happy lives without Aoating away
on the waves of passion.
I believe that whou wo riso from the
Arst keen feeling of our owa littleness,
after education has opened our eyes,
wo aie di I von to a fuller understanding
of what living really means, that It
IcaU nn to loin; aioiind for tho fjtuiiu
unity tkat pervades tho universo,
whciein each body in tho heavens
move with apparont independence and
yet nil aro moving together in ono vast
progress through spaco. I boliove this
unity of the human race will somo day
bo more than a mere glitteiing drcaai,
evon an actual fact, with only hero
and tlicro au erratic creature moving
liko a comot across tho path of others.
I beliovo that pessimism regarding ed
ucation arises from wrenching it out of
its proper sphere. Rightly used it
gives us larger viows. It makes lifo
inorejvaricd, fullor and more interest
ing. If it doos not do this, it is becauso
wo have loaded ourselves down with
its pobblos instead of its rubles, an i
found darkness whero brightness alone
should be.
I beliovo that tho shortness of life
just serves to show us that tho race is
more important than the individual,
and that therefore the tost of a valued
lifo will somo day come to bo not how
much for self was gathered and scraped
together, but how much sorvice was
done to repay something to tho rnco
for thw pleasures and opportunities
that aro our heritages as members of
one great human family.
I boliove tho world is thrilling to a
now century of new opportunities
whin ciu hotter men than oursolvess
h;iH hold sway, but in hoo prog mm
tho feeblest of us shall have a part, if
wo livo our lives to thoir fullest.
