AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
A LESSON IN HOPE AND
FAITH.
(From the Seattle Star.)
On a spring day in 1886 a
bearded man drove a pack-|
mule through the northern Id
aho hills and not far from the
present city of Wallace, staked
a claim. This claim he called
the Golden Winnie.
On the claim Emanuel Smith,
who had been born in Californ
ia in 1837, built his cabin and
went to work. Every few weeks
he and the old mule tramped
down to the settlement, bought
bacon, beans and powder, and
climbed back up the green
hills to the Winnie.
So the years passed—with
the hope of sudden riches a
will o’ the wisp, always just
ahead. Emanuel’s head grayed
and the furrows lined his face.
But he kept on, winning a few
chunks of ore—enough to keep
body and soul together.
For forty-three years Eman- j
uel Smith hoped. And he died
the other day, in Wallace, still
hoping.
“A wasted life,” many will
say. We don’t think so. It was,
on the whole, a happy life.
How many of us have the pat
ience to keep hoping, and
working, for forty-three years
always denied fortune, always
believing that the fickle dame i
may be waiting just around
the corner.
Emanuel Smith didn’t fail.
He hoped, he worked, he was
happy. No one can do more.
A GROUNDLESS FEAR
The medical director of the
Life Extension Institute has
just been telling fellow work
ers that the regular “he-man”
style of American masculinity
has retreated before the ad
vance of a “soft,” fluffy creat
ure who lives longer but gets
far less out of life and gives so
ciety less than the old-fash
ioned “rough-neck.” He fears
that unless a change is effected
modern men will be a sex of
pink-and-whites, not worth a
great deal measured by the
standards of two or three, or
more generations ago.
Another fear of the worthy
director is that even if his
warning is taken as seriously
as he seems to view it, at least
a century will be needed to !
bring the physical improve- 1
ment he has in mind. He ex- J
plains that the men of today
live more years than their i
grandfathers only because they
have been given extraordinary ■
protection by science, and that
the same means it the force
which will pamper until the
human race will not be able to
take care of itself.
To our way of thinking the
good man is probably giving
himself unnecessary alarm ov
er the future of the races. Evi-:
dences that the modern man ]
has become a “soft,” pink and '
white‘effeminate are not so
widely distributed that every;
one who runs may see, and in-1
terpret them as does the med
ical director. In fact the re
veise may be claimed. On the |
strictly physical score the up !
to-date race asks no odds of
its ancestry. The world has
more strong men than ever and
not even the classical periods j
knew such lists of women and
girl athletes in all branches of
physical excellence. The man
of today not only lives longer,
thanks to science, but lives bet
ter, more happily, can hit hard
er, run faster, swim farther,
and when at work can turn out
more than the producer of any
age in human history.
JUNE
This is what we call the tip
top month of the year. It
brings the longest day3 and
the best days. It is the month
of gay blossoms and high-float
ing clouds. Average all the
Junes of your lifetime and
you will find the result approx
imates the year’s prefection.
And even though we may have
to work through this best of
all months, we may, if we are
resourceful, enjoys its gifts.
We may save our off-hours
for little trips into the hills and
green woods, or we may putter
around our own premises and
persuade ourselves that we are
working while in reality we
are only making yard or gar
den activity an excuse for soak
ing ourselves in the glory of
the month. We may take an
aggresively active interest in
the rich and solacing verdure;
we may make a mental note
that June sunshine and June
clouds ai’e joys to be received
with enthusiastic gratitude, in
stead of being accepted merely
as a matter of course. Our men
tal attitude has a great deal
to do with our enjoyment oi
June.
Working or loafing we can, it
we choose, make much or little
of the year’s best month.
Just for Fun
Business usually goes where
it is solicited and stays where
it is well treated.
Some people * wonder why
; they don’t get on, when they
' are merely trying to get by.
Lots of men think that they
| are tolerant simply because
they haven’t character enough
i to form convictions.
! The man who depends or.
j cleverness more than on hon
1 esty i3 usually headed for an
I awakening.
I I^erseverence is merely keep
| ing on doing what you decided
to do even after you decide
that maybe you shouldn’t.
The old toll gate has nearly
passed but the highways still
take their toll.
As the world grows wiser and
and wiser, it finds more and
more ways to make a fool of
itself.
It would increase the volume
of knowledge if a rnan knew at
25 what he thought he knew
at 18.
1 It is not true that all the world
loves a lover. Only a small por
tion of it can hardly stand up.
It is said that when a man is
his own lawyer he has a fool
for a client. And when he’s his!
own doctor he’s.liable to have
a dead man for his patient.
Most criminals are single men
and that suggests a way to pre
vent crime. But, you cannot
punish a man before he needs
it.
The height of ignorance is
thinking you know everything.
Most persons who are in a hur
ry to get somewhere probably
do not know why.
The child usually makes a
good grade if mother studies
hard and prepares the lessons.
Science seems to know most
everything except why those
who make a habit of borrow
ing books usually have a dirty:
thumb.
The man who always puts his
best foot forward has a wooden
leg.
Let your first aim be to serve
rather than to get.
An ounce of striving is better
than a pound of conniving.
“They say if there is any
thing in a man, travel will
bring it out.”
“You tell ’em! I found tliai
out my first day at sea.”
From our observations some
people still use the penny quite
extensively.
This world can never be kept
clean by people who negleci
themselves to scrub theii
neighbors.
He: “Dick is all right if you
know how to take him.”
She: “Yes, but I hate these
people who have to be labeled
like a bottle of medicine.”
We notice that bull-shooters
observe no closed season.
To be hurried means soon to
be worried.
A pessimist is the sort of a
man who will blow out the
lights and then say: “See how
dark it is.”
A good reputation is a fair
estate.
Two may live on love, but love
Won’ live on two bucks a day;
Marriages may be made
above,
But they break in an earthly
way.

Friend— “Tell me your sec*
ret of success. How have you
obtained so many customers in
such a short time?”
Grocer— “Well, I got a par
iot and trained it to call out
‘Oh, isn’t she pretty,” every
iime a lady entered the store.’
Young wife: “How do you
like the steak, dear?”
Husband: “Finejbut where is

You didn't bring a drop with
the meat.”

Dot: “Do you know that I
have the soul of an artist?”
Dora: “I knew that you paint

face.”
Waiter: “That gentleman ov

Manager: “Then take it away
and bring him some that is.’’
A traveling man one night
found himself obliged to re
main in a small town on ac
count of a washout on the rail
road caused by the heavy rain,
which was still coming down
in torrents. The traveling man
turned to the waitress with:
“This certainly looks like the
flood.”
“The what?”
“The flood. You’ve read of
the great flood, and the Ark
landing on Mount Ararat, sure
ly.”
“Gee, mister,” she replied, “I
ain’t seen a paper for three
days.
