Entered n the Postottice at Bemid)l, Mianesola, ss secend class matter, SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE With airships plying for passen- gers the ‘sky-pilot” ought to become a factor in real life. It begins to look as though the report of the death of King Menelik was not exaggerated this time. The errand boy might as well be- gin to arrange for the absequies of his grandmother. The baseball season opens soon. Those Servian princes who are coming here say they are not look- ing for rich wives. Some mine they want to exploit, perhaps. Now that California is threatened with man-eating fleas, it will not be necessary for streetcar conductors to admonish passengers to step lively- Having captured Eddy Fay, the New York police ought to be able now to cope with the problem of exterminating the common house-fly, It has taken Detroit nine years to make up its mind to accept Andrew Carnegie’s offer of $750,000 for a new central library building and branches. This offer has twice by popular vote been accepted since 1901, and twice the acceptance has been cancelled. Why Detroit should be so shy is something no fellow can find out. Do itnow. Learn to stand alone. Decide quickly. He who hesitates is lost. The man who never strikes a snag, never strikes anything. The man who never takes the initiative, never gets anywhere. Decision marks the man of ability. Two- thirds of some men’s lives are taken up in considering what they should do. It takes nerve to decide, but it savesa lot of time. Don’t speak disparagingly of a man of whom the people say, “that he has nerve.” That is the force, if rightly expended that counts. “1 speak right out in meetin’,” say; a good many people, and they are under the impression that they are extolling a virtue. But it doesn’t always pay. If youdon't like a fellow, don’t rush up to him and knock him down with a club. The chances are he will not like you one bit the better for it. He will most likely be your undying enemy, after telling him just what you think. Don’tdo it. Keep your “thinks” to yourself. Some day the chance might come when you would want to revise your opinion and you will not be able. This old world will have enough sharp corners for you with- out your running around looking for them. Don’t say things that will hurt. We may be “cock-sure” that we are right in our thinking, but that is all the more reason why we should keep those “things” to ourself. We can always win a man to our way of thinking, but we can never club him intoit. Don’t think you can ever make the other fellow over. The Lord made him just that way, kinks and all, don’t be presumptuous to think that you can improve on the Lord’s handiwork. Adjust = yourself to the oddities, and idiosyncracies of your friends, and remember that they have to do the sa.ne perhaps with you. Charity you see covereth a multitude of sins. I BY THE WAY I If 2 man wants to continue popular he should refrain from saving too much money. Bad luck if met promptly, often proves to be opportunity in disguise. A barking dog will bite when your back is turned. If a man’s thoughts are true, his deeds are true. PATTON LOSES HALF MILLION 8Sudden Drop in Cotton Prices Has That Result. Chicago, April 7.—The sudden fall- ing away in cotton prices cost James A.
