Work with a Will.
We are not sent into this world to

heartily; neither is to be done by

Under tho organization of the famous
National River Transportation " Con
gress lately held in Washington, which
Alex Philip attended as a delegate,
there was organized a Missouri River
Navigation Congress, which held its
session at Omaha. Mr. Philip also at
tended and there was appointed by
Gov. Drake of North Dakota, President
of the congress, as one of the directors
for Kansas. His business will be to
awaken the interests of the peopie
of the state to the great importanca of
river transportation from Kansas City
to the gulf, which is bound to come
some time and many believe now is the
time to urge it. The next Congress
is to meet at Kansas City next year.
Next Monday in our city will be cele
brated an unusual occurance, the Silver
Jubilee of Very Rev. Father Charles,
its Pastor, in remembrance of his 25th
anniversary to his ordination to the
holy priesthood. At ten o'clock there
will be solemn High Mass by the jubi
lariam in the church with a sermon by
Rev. Father Jerome, In the evening
there will be a fitting celebration, to
which all are cordially invited at St.
Joseph's Hall
He was born in Baden in 1859, and
when 21 came to America and joined
the Capuchin order in 1880, was ordain
ed in Dec. 1884 and on Christmas cele
brated his first Holy Mass at Cumber
land. He has worked faithfully at
many charges and at Pittsburg, Penn.,
during his term he erected St. Augus
tines church at a cost of $225,000 and it
was he who first set in motion the es
tablishing of the Catholic college at
this city. He went to Rome as one of
the International delegates to take part
in the general election of the order and
last July he was assigned to St. Jos
eph's church in this city.
Twenty-five years of such faithful
work for the welfare of souls and up
buildirg of his church is surely worthy
of the highest celebration possible and
it is proper that our church should
celebrate it with ppecial so'emrities,
and we-hope he may live twenty -five
years rr.ore to er joy and push forward
the gcod work. Since coming here he
has proven a very welcome addition to
our religious people, who gladly joir
in this eeletrotien e?en if they can't
be present at the services.

Joseph Runyon Dead.
Word came WedreFday morning of
the death of our citizen and old soldier,
Joseph Runyon, which occurred Tues
day night at Wakeeney, where he had
gone on a business trip. He was sick
but a couple days having had a para
letic stroke, from which he never
ralied. He leaves a widow and several
erown children. A handsome new
home was beirg built on East Juniata
street for the family, which they hoped
soon to occupy, but he failed to live to
see it finished. The family have the
sympathy of a large circle of friends
both here and in Trego county, hie
former home. The body was brought
here and the funeral services were held
in the new home Thursday afternoon,
then the body was taken to the G. A.
R. Hall under escort of the bid soldiers
where a military funeral was carried
out in the presence of a large circle of
sympathizing friends, and the remains
were laid to rest in our cemetery.

THOUGHTS
WALDO PONDRAY WARREN
- WHY MISTAKES ARE MADE
i!STAKES do not "happen" they are the results of
causes. A vast measure of time, money, and oppor
tunity is lost in making mistakes and trying to rectify
them. To correct mistakes is a good work, but to prevent
them is a f r.r higher achievement. The "ounce of prevention"
may be app!;2d by carefully considering some of the chief
causes of errors in business. They are:
Carelessness, inattention and superficial interest;
Laziness not being willing to take the trouble;
Accenting appearances as facts without investigation;
Proceeding without discussion or advice;
Impulsive decisions not well thought out;
Lack of foresight and preparation;
Wrcr.3 theories and biased advice;
Fa!re economy and desire for gain;
Lack of tact and thoughtfuiness;
Fcrrjrttir.g ard neglect of duty;
D3peridig on these not properly instructed;
Failure to take due precautions;
Fnilire to safeguard weak points;
Cverconfider.ee and exaggerated hopes.
The remainder may be charitably classed as the result of
humzn frailty a last rescrt in explaining mistakes that .can
net ba rectified nor traced to their roots in undeveloped char
acter. (Copyright, 1907, by Joseph B. Bowles.)
