Be a Good
Sticker and You
Will Always Win
ON C. PETERS
J
HERE is a standing advertisement ifr tiio man who, though
he may be beaten, cannot be b^lmn; who, if defeated, still
remains unconquered and ymquerabli.
Consult wisely, rcsoht flttnlv, (lien execute with inflexible
purpose and irresistible determination. Be strong in your
confidence to overcome all opposition—it is Inch of confidence
that courts failure. Make up your mind to win. Dispel all
doubts. Banish the ghouls of fear from your side, exorcise
them with the talisman of courage, put perseverance in tiieir
place, and success will be yours.
Cain the reputation of persistency and it will be better than a letter
of credit; it will give others faith in your ability and your power to accom
plish what you undertake. Such a reputation, like the gold standard, is
current the world over.
If you find no way, make one for yourself. Emulate the boy who
applied for a position and would not take “no” for an answer.
“Do you want a boy?” asked the applicant.
“Nobody wants a boy,” replied the merchant.
“Do you need a boy?” persisted the youth.
“Nobody needs a boy,” returned the man.
“Mell, say, mister, do you have to have a boy?” perseveringly de
manded the little sticker.
“I am sorry to say I do, and 1 guess you are the boy I want,” an
swered the merchant.
There is a romance about perseverance the most fascinating in his
tory. It has characterized all the truly great men of both ancient and
modern times, bringing them from the pits of poverty, dungeons of ob
scurity and pillories of persecution into the white light of honor, wealth
and fame. It is the statesman s brain, the warrior’s sword, the lawyer’s
toga, the inventors secret, the scholar’s open sesame—it is the driving
force which enables the human engine to reach the Grand Union depot
of Success.
Stick-at-it-iveness is the fundamental quality which tells to advan
tage in every profession, trade and calling of life. Hawthorne’s “Scarlet
Letter” took twenty years of drudgery, hut the author kept at it, murmur
ing, My time will come; my time will come. ’ It did come; he produced
one of the master classics of the English language. Bulwer scored noth
ing hut failure after failure, yet he kept writing and writing until the
world was compelled to notice and acknowledge him as one of the great
est masters of modern fiction.
Success is measured not so much by what is accomplished as by the
opposition which is overcome. The most perilous hoar is that in which
you are tempted to give up. When you arrive at the danger point, if von
don’t pass it you are done for. Lose courage and vou lo.-<' all.
No man ever lost in the battle of life until he had first lost faith in
himself. Columbus, in his journal day after day.
wrote: Ibis day we sailed westward, which was
/ \
I ) staidly steered for the west, for by so doin: he
ft ^knew that lie was getting nearer the quest of hi.- vo\
age, so through sunshine and storm, with leaky ves
sels and mutinous crew, he stuck until the glad cry

reached.

I he magnificent efforts that some news
papers are making in behalf of pure Eng
lish, and particularly their heroic struggle
to compel their editors, reporters, scrub
women and devils to have their adverbs
properly placed, merit the commendation of
every lover of literary perfection.
The locutions “always it is best,” “fre
quently we have said,” “definitely was de
cided,'’ “merely is trying,” “it commonly
is stated,” etc., which grace the columns of
the papers referred to, grow in beauty as
one studies them.
The necessity for tin's battle for lin
gual accuracy is made evident by a cursory examination of the writings
of men who are popularly supposed to write “good English,” but who have
carelessly adopted—I beg pardon, careles-ly have adopted—the style that
our local authorities so vigorously oppose. For instance, we have Macau
lay saying: “We are instantly overwhelmed,” “They are not sufficiently
enlarged,” “lie has distinctly announced,” “lie has presumptuously
brought,” etc. Do Quinccy says: “lie will henceforward travel.” Lord
Bacon: “They are continually used.” Edmund Burke: “It was merely
necessary.” George Meredith: “It is common!;, stated.” Cardinal \mv
man: “It may fairly seem.” And, finally, that much-advertised shlisL
Addison, is guilty of these: “1 was yesterday walking,” “It was finely
shaded,” “He had bel 4
These illustrations, together with many similar lapses by such slov
enly grammarians as S, ott, Thackeray, Dickens, Irving, Stevenson, etc.,
will amply prove—excii>. amply will prove—the 1 \tcnt of this evil which
our present masters of prose are com mi ting, and I sincerely hope they will
be able to counteract the superstitious reverence of the masses for these
pretended masters of our common tongue.
Efforts
Made
for Pure
English
By CHARLES W. PHILLIPS
Onr of the prettiest incidents I ever I
at ( hristaiaa time was a scene in i
the lag Fairmont hotel in San Francisco
just !a fore I came cast.
I lie actors were iitfle bovs and girls
and gathered in the lobby of the hostelry
they sang in the sweetest tones of child
hood the old-fashioned familiar hymns
which we have ever associated with the
celebration of Christ’s nativity.
As their young voices rang out through
the corridors of the establishment society
women in imported gowns and blazing in
diamonds ceased their small talk to listen
to the strains and stern men kept silent as memories of their purer days
were evoked by songs they had once loved to repeat.

The full board heard the claims of
tie various town si and when the
time to tote arrived the contest had
narrowed down to Hope and Magno

majority of one.
I'h offer of Magnolia was corn-id
ered slightly better than that t
Hope or Mena; and cash to the am

quire l is the principal claim of the
winning town.
The towns of Prescott and Bingen
were ex< luden from the race for the
location of the school by reason of
the fact that they had not filed their
bids for the school with the score
of the hoard of trustees. The town
of Prescott sent a delegation here to
offer $d.>,(inn io ea -It, two hundred
acres of land, with lights and wate

There has been a great rivalry be

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
flAKES WEAK WOHEN STRONG,
SICK WOHEN WELL.
For over 40 years this celebrated remedy has
been making women’s lives happier—health
ier—safer.
Many thousands of women have testified
to its wonderful effect.
The “Favorite Prescription ” is
THE ONE REMEDY that car be de
pended upon when there is any derangement of the distinctly
feminine organism. It purifies, heals, soothes, builds up.
THE Q\E REMEDY which absolutely contains neither alcohol
(which to most Women is rank poison) nor injurious or
babit-forming drugs.
THE Q\E REMEDY which Is so perfect In Its composition
and so good in its curative effects as to warrant its makers
in printing its every ingredient, as they do, on its outside
wrapper, verifying the same under solemn oath.
It is needed when backaches make life miserable—when a sicken
ing, dragging, bearing-down feeling makes work a weary agony—
when sick headache, nervous irritability, loss of energy and appe
tite indicate derangement of the womanly organism. It is a purely
vegetable compound, being a glyceric extract from native medicinal
roots and can not injure in any condition of the female system.
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets help the effect of
all other medicines by keeping the liver active and the bowels
open. I hey regulate and strengthen Stomach, Liver and Bowels.
Easy to take as candy. At all dealers—get ichat you ask for.

Critics and Managers Clash.
Between the whole press of Copen

a curious contest has started because
the managers want to compel the
critics to write only favorable notices
The contest began when the board o!

His Views on Suffrage.
When a female canvasser asked an
old farmer to sign a petition in favor
of a woman’s movement he eyed the
document for awhile with suspicion
No, I’m again’ it, sure," was the rc
ply. with the emphasis of a man who
had had some domestic infelicity, "a
woman who’s alius a movin' is alius a
genin' in trouble. If you’ve got any
thing to keep her quiet I’ll sign it."

Reason for Envy.
The stingy man had come home and
had objected when his wife attempted
to kiss him.
“I've just had a tooth pulled," he
explained.
"Well, l envy the dentist," his wife
replied.
"You envy the dentist? What do you
mean ?”
’Oh, nothing much," the wife sighed.
