court revorsed the casje of Joseph
Skldmore of Holt county, sentenced to
6ervo five years for stealing nine hogs,
tho property of John Ferguson. It

disposal of the proceeds after the
theft, is not a principal, but an acces

Do you wish the world were belter? Let me tell you what to do:
Set a watch upon your action!, keep them alwayt straight and
true; s
Rid your mind of selfish motives, let your thought be clean and
high;
You can make a little Eden of the sphere you occupy.
Do you wish the world were wiser? Well, suppose you make
a start
By accumulating wisdom in the icraphook cf your heart.
Do not waste one page on lolly; live to learn and learn to live.
If you want to give men knowledge you must get it ere you give.

Just to scatter seeds of kindness as you pass along the way;
For the pleasures of the many may be oft-times traced to one,
And the hand that plants the acorn shelters armies from the sun.
