IK I ONIjY HAI) CAIMTAL The above word* w?re recently uttered in our hearing by a worthy boy and undoubtedly they are often reiterated by many who tire out of employment, or have lit t U*. or noth ing to do. To ull such we say, you have home capital, you have bauds, feet, bone, muscle, health aud are not these capital? What more cap ital b4s God given anybody? "Hut if 1 only had a few thousand in caab capital," says the young rnau. 1 But these are better than cash cap ital, for no one can take them from you, aud With these you can earn " cash. * / / ' i Our men of- wealth' and influence <I1?V, not atart with any cash capital, They went to work with their plow, tfae hoe, the jack piane or ax, and in time their capital brought them a rich harvest." Ah! but there's the< rub; you don't want to work. You want money on credit ho you can play the gentleman, speculate and end your career by playing vaga r bond. You want to marry a rich Shame on you, young man. Go to you wear fine clothes, smoke cigars and foe a gentleman- .of leisure* Shame on you, young man. (To to work With the capital you have and you will hoo|i make interest enough upon it to 'give you as much money aa you need. If you cannot make money upon what capital you have, you could not If you had a larger amount in cash, if you waste your present capital you would waste money if you had It. So don't atand around, a groat helpless fel low, waiting for something to turn up, bt# go to work. Take thje first work you can get to do and do if well.. Always do your best, and if you manage your capital that Ood has given you, well, you will Soon have plenty more to manage. The world would be happier if people were a little infcre ' generous with their praise. There is too much flattery but a word of Just appreciation would cheer the heart and strengthen the hands of many u discouraged worker in the home, In the school, in the church, and in the world. ?

Newspaper publishers who have been lax in their "collections will hp.ve to get buHy and collect from tneir delinquent subscribers, or pay a fine to th^ government. They were notified to do this three or four years ago, but the postofflce offlcloln at Washington did not fol low up the matter closely at that time and the law was nQt enforcod strictly. The following order, re ceived by an Iowa publisher from the third assistant postmaster gen eral a few days ago, speaks for It self: "The right of publishers to extend in good faith credit on sub v scriptlons is recognized and will not be abridged, and although all aub scriptions are regarded as expiring with the period for which they were obtained nevertheless, in order to give an opportunity to secure re newals, copies of their publications will be accepted for mailing as to subscribers * at the usual second class rates for postage for a period of one year Trom the dnto of ejQ>j ratlon, but copies sent to personS" after one year from the date of the expiration of their subscriptions, un less such subscriptions are expresa " ly re?tewed fop tt-dt?ffn4to tlmo,. to get her with an actual payment of subscription, will not be accepted at' the transient second- class rate. ?

MINMII'AI, OWKKKftHlI'. My position a* to Municipal Owu erwblp a* opposed to F^ancbl^ie of public utilities Is fairly well estab lished, l think, bat t4> wy surprise, I wl? approached the other day by a man of more less prominence aw ? citizen a ud taxpayer, who. in all seriousness, wanted to know how 1 aloud ou the proposition. My reply wag prompt and decisive, it wait naturally a strong expression of pre ference for Muulcipal Ownership. My querist however, wa* not sat isfied, and made the remark "that, if municipal ownership was uucli a Kood thin*, why ^as It not incuft) bent npon tlis authorities . of the City of Camden to promptly repair the several breaks in aewer pipes alofiK certain streets or the city on which these breaks have occurred. To this 1 responded that the fault did not lie in the defects lu Mu ulcipal Ownership system, but did lie In the men who bad been en trusted by the people to carry out the system. This, 1 take it, is a fair exposi tion of the position. For our part, we can find no excuse for our street department officials allow ing mountain* of dirt to lie on Lyt tlelou street for weeks In the en deavor to locate a break In a sew er pipe, other than, that department was not allowed a sufficient num ber of hands to reduce the Incon venience to the public to a mini mum. Our information Is that at no time was there, more than a dozen hands employed in excavation work, ortener a smaller force, and a still smaller force ooccupied in restoring those excavations after the bre&k had been discovered (or un covered) and repaired. I use the Lyttleton street break merely; as an Illustration. There are other breaks ln.jroe sewer pipes, we ure told, that may cause similar inconvenience and delay unless dif ferent tactics and methods are em ployed In their repair. In any event, ^ don '4- blame Hie Municipal Ownership system* which is the correct systtem. Blame the administration If blame there be, and if it can be satisfactorily shown that the administration is blamewor thy, unseat it, and elect another that will more nearly carry />ut your policies.

So they rode day and night as fast as-lhey could urge their wiry ponies, and did a,gh ? untn tbey w?re safe Ins the mountain fastnesses of Scurry County, Tex. There Quanah and his stolen bride began ; their wedded life. As they were still penniless, Quanah led his rH!n?"?ve y?Ung braves uP?n a se rips of horse stealing raids into the grass Country.

He made himself chief of the tribe in whose village house he had lived as a beggar. There, from a stronghold in the Wichita mountains," he reigned over the Indians for miles about and grew daily richer and more powerful. Incidentally, he married^ four more wives. Seeing the folly of wasting his power in useless warefare 8UITeadered to Gen. McKenaffei 1876 and became a powerful cltw zen of what was later Oklahoma. Ha' persuaded the government to give his tribe good farming lands. Quanah proudly called himself "the friend of Theodore Roosevelf?
