LEARN to laugh. A good laugh is bet­ ter than medicine, Learn how to tell a stoFf. A well told story is as welcome as a sunbeam in a sick room. Learn to keep your own troubles to yourself. The world is too busy to care for your ills and sorrows. Learn to stop croak­ ing. If yo'1 cannot see any good in the world, keep the bad to yourself. Learn to hide your aches and pains under a pleasant smile. No one cares whether you have the earache, headache, or rheu­ matism. Don't cry. Tears do well enough in novels, but they are out of place in real life. Learn to meet your friends with a smile. The good humored man or woman is always welcome, but the dyspeptic or hypochondriac is not wanted anywhere, and is a nuisance as well, ^ IN the Clarence, Mo., Courier, we find the following notice, which will be of in­ terest to the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Griswold, in this county : "Mies May, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G.

A floating paragraph in an exchange says that "the most popular country editor as well as the most popular coun­ try preacher, is the one who avoids treading on any one's toes." Such an editor or preacher must necessarily be a hypocrite and a coward, for any man en­ dowed with braihs--be they ever so few-- must have opinions, ideas and convic­ tions of his own, and should not be afraid to express them when occasion re­ quires. But there are some wl 3 let "policy" control all their actions, and their policy makes cowards of them all. YOUKG man, there is one thing you cannot do. You cannot make a success in life unless you work. Older men than you have tried it and failed. You can­ not loaf around tbe street corners, smoke, tell stories, drink and sponge on some one else without making a failure in life. You must learn a trade or get in some honest business. If you don't yoii will become a chronic loafer and there is no place in the world for loafers. The ripe fruit is at the top of the tree, and you must climb if you get it, or some smart man will'pluck it from you. Do something, no matter how small, or low wages; it will be a starter. Help your­ self and others will help you. There is no royal gate to success; will, grit and endurance, are the qualities which lead to it. - Some elegant patterns in Calicoes and Dross Ginghams at Owen & Chapell's. Only One Chance Offered.

That chance is offered now and it may be yours, as it relates to good farming land at from $5 to $10 per acre in Cen­ tral Wisconsin, Clark county.
