The longer we flive, the more we learn, and the more we learn, the less we think we know. Such is the in- consistency of man’s ideas, The less yne knows the greater his opinion of and wisdom. In the life a conceited man prides himself on-his @reathéss, and wonders to what grand channel he wil) ntine his talents. He looks ip school district as the world nd himself as dhe great He imagines that when nations tremble, moun- tter and thé sea becomes rines that a gaping and populace are gazing on th open-moutbed wonder and d astonishment, and that he s the {world in the hollow of bis ind with ayrasp that 1s perpetual. as days, and months, and years pass in rapid succession, the young man finds out that he is possibly mis taken and if be would wander away and get lost some one or more of all the people on the earth would not miss him. By and by he begins to realize that heis only one of the many millions of people, and instead of standing forth as the center of at- traction, he only fills asmall niche )f some cbscure corner, and really attracts but little attention. The ignoravt man who realizes his ignor- ance and who does notseek to pass himself off for more than he is worth, is pardonable, but the self-couceited man whotries to pass himself off at a premium, is to be pitied. The best way is to hold one’s self-esteem down and not rate himself too high. The man who climbs the bighest has the farthest to fall. It 1s more fplesant to be invited to take a higher seat than to be depriv- ed of it.wIt is more pleasant to be king of a cottage than the servant of apalace. It is better to bea good five cent piece than a bogus quarter; jn other words, 1t is better to hola ourselves at what{we are honestly worth. ‘The2world is ful). of people who never learn anything because they think they know enough to be- rin with. Thousands are teaching hen they ought to be taught; thous- ands belive themselves wise when toeir ignorance is lamentable; thous-! ands belive themselves clothed in| gold when they are only thinly plated and the copper shows through in mapy ; places. Thejwisest are comparative- ly ignorant and thousands of men who have grand ideas of their own abilities will some day wake up to the realization that they have been laboring under a large sized delusion. Many a young man’s life is gilded by bright dreams that come in the early empty, ani O, how little is the YEAR IN ADVANCE) whose keetng the world’s | gratification. change when it comes. Heavy Buyers. In our town, these days, we see faces that are strangers fo us, faces that are not familiar in our town. * People from distant parts of our county, from other towns, and other localities, some near, some far.—drive in to inspect and ascertain personally the worth and reliability of the pledges that are made from time to time to the public, by means of ex- tensive advertising, by poster notices, and in the local papers, Generally those strangers are heavy [ buyers, and return homeward well | istied with the results of their jong trip, su This is the tinest and highest rec- ommendation that canbe given to our business men and should be the source of their keenest pride. and It proves that they haye backed up their promises, and redeemed their pledges. and that they were able to, as they boped, meet the expectations of those who respond to their invita- | tions, and took them at their word, It proves futher, that these mes- sages to the public, in one from or another,—newspaper ‘‘ads’? and post- er notices,—are bringing them the hoped fer results, in the from of in- creased popularity, increased number of customers and increased business. If it were not so, why then tboge many Stranger faces in our town these days?—Why then'the rush of business these days?—Why then do people travel so far, from distant localities, to do business here? Here and there in localities, are still to be found little miserly busi- ness men who have not yet learned the great lesson of business progres- sion, but generally they lean .against deserted counters and sooner or later go to the wall. Business progression these days is activity—expansion. The business man must speak to the people or they will not speak to him. He owes it tothe people, and the people are entitled to know what he has to offer them; if he will not keep in touch with them, and keep them enlightened regarding his business, they will reciprocate his slight. They will not keepin touch with him and he does not deserve it. The new and just demand of the people, to be recognized by the busi- ness man, and to be informd from time to time regarding his activities, constitutes the most desirable, the most ligitimate kind of advertising. It 1s directly in opposition to trick and wild-cat advertising, has the use- fulness and brawn of sincerity,—and finds stability in sound reason, in jus- tice, and in guod business principle. The Iron Mine Taxes. The joint committees of the state legislature that are expected to look into various iniquities, real or alleg- ed, and furnish remedies for them, real or alleged, have framed, and they will set about their business shortly.
