' DURHAM CHRONICLE 'Durham. Sept. 2|, I905. Frank J. Reilley of bogus ballot box ' fame tried recentlv to commit suicide in jail. He was foundout in his fraud- ulent political trickery, and no doubt he. felt awfully mean about it. ‘Ve don't imagine him feeling mean beâ€" cause he did the dirty work but he felt mean because he was found out“ Frank .1. Reilly is not one whit worse than thousands of others who strut around with lofty heads in which they conceal a carnival of corruption not made public to the outside world. The mere fact of him feeling mean enough to c ommit suicide is a sure sign he has not yet sunk to the lowest depths of moral depravity. While there is shame left there’s still hope. There are lots of political tricksters who have a better right to Reilly’s cell than Reilly has himself. At his trial he showed a certain amount of honor, and though we would hate to see him escape we regret to have him occupy a position that more properly belongs to others. J. J. Hill. President of the Great Northern Railway System. celebrated his 67th birthday on Saturday last. Whatever opinions. may he held regarding Mr.f‘Hill, we. as Canadians should appreciate the man. He is one of ourselves, being born in Guelph in 1838.

The man who '3 born into the world with high natu- ral endowments and leaves the world no better than he found it has surely lived in vain. Books Schof Sun‘pli S School W. IRWIN.

It may not know him as a. Canadian boy. It may not know he was born where Guelph now stands, but it knows him as a railway king, 8.3a. ruler of men, and a dictator to the moneyed institutions of Wall Street. He was born on the farm, but he built up an empire in the north-western States. Like most men who have made their way in the world he has advice for young men. In a recent interview he was asked if young men to-day had the same chance for success as formerly. To this he replied “ Every bit as much chance; more I should say. I’ll tell you this; there are more opportuni- ties than there are young manto take advantage of them. “He says also " A young man has always had to help make his opportunities and he must do that today as ever. But young men fail more now-a-days than they used to because thev:expect to reap almost as soon as they sow. That is the very great trouble with young men of the present. They expect opportu- nities to come to them without appli- cation or proper showing of things so that opportunities will drift their way. You’ll have to keep your eyes open and catch hold of things; they’ll not- catch hold of you as a rule." He goes on further and says. “Energy, sys- tem and perseverance. these are the great C(mipouents of success in a young man's life, and with them he is bound to succeed as well to-day as he ever succeeded. lie must have a set stan- dard of achievement: he must make up his mind what he is going to do in the world, and then keep fighting for his standards." Much more has been said by this great maker of an empire, this great ruler of mankind, but enough is here. outlined to show the cause of his suc- cess. '. ‘he world may owe us a living, I but in order to get it the best way is to roll up your sleeves young man and wade in for the share that belongs to you. No young man with the spirit of a rat about him, will be satisfied to live as a parasite on the earnings of another. No young man who finds more enjoyment in hanging round street corners and bar-rooms than he I.finds in honest honorable work will ever be Worth enough powder to blow his brains out, that is if he has any brains. There are young lawless loaf- ers to-day, whose destiny from pres- .ent indications is the jail or the poor 3 house. \Vhy should they be content lto stay at the bottom of the ladder 'when the way is open to climb to fame? Artemesia township has now many‘ beautiful farm residences and but: few more up to date and commodc' ious than that recently completed by ‘ Mr. Wesley Buskin on the west back line.

Crangeville Sun: A week ago Sat- urday the kitchen roof at J. J. Hunt- er’s, Rockside Farm,” East Garafraxa caught fire from the chimney at the dinner hour. In a moment there was a big blaze and it looked as though the house would be consum- ed. While the men were away get- ting some water, with which to ex- tinguish the fire. Mrs. Hunter threw the contents of a churn of butter- milk on the blaze and the buttermilk checked its progress until water was supplied. The house was insured in the London Mutual and the company allowed Mr. Hunter 3107. An assult and battery case was being heard. Larry Ryan was give ing his version of the mix-up in which his friend Grogan was kicked in the ”small 0’ the back.” In seek- to extract facts from the loquacious Larry, who insisted in ringing in all kinds of side issues.the magistrate lost all patience andsought to wind up Larry’s evidence by saying, “‘Well, well, that will do! The sum and substance of it all Ryan is, that you saw Grogan kicked in the fracas." “Well. yer warship. said Larry in a somewhat puzzled tone. “not exactly, it was a little higher up than that.” Georgeâ€"“No matter how things go the poor have to sufier.” Jackâ€"“Yes; the nabobs who own railways don’t think anything of running over a poor man’s horse.” “Yes and the man who can aflord to own a horse runs down the poor fellow on a bicycle.” "Just so; and the fellow on the bicycle runs down the poor chap who has to walk.’, “That’s the way: and the cripple on crutches Spends most of his time jamming his sticks down on other people’s corns. It’s a sadly selfish world.” "That’s it; and the man who walks stumbles against the poor cripple who goes on crutches.” Love is a sandwich of sentiment and imagination, with the mustard put in after marriage.
