Raleigh Takes Private Census

THE CHEERFUL MAN

The cheerful man is preeminently a useful man.

The cheerful man sees that everywhere the good outbalances the bad, and that every evil has its compensating balm.

He who has formed a habit of looking at the bright, happy side of things, has a great advantage over the chronic dyspeptic who sees no good in anything.

A habit of cheerfulness enables one to transmute apparent misfortunes into real blessings.

The cheerful man’s though sculptures his face into beauty and touches his manner with grace.

It was Lincoln’s cheerfulness and sense of humor that enabled him to stand under the terrible load of the civil war.

If we are cheerful and contented all nature smiles with us; the air is balmier, the sky clearer, the earth has a brighter green, the trees have a richer foliage, the flowers are more fragrant, the birds sing more sweetly, and the sun, moon and stars are more beautiful. All good thought and good action claim a natural alliance with good cheer.

High-minded cheerfulness is found in great souls, self-poised and confident in their own heaven-aided powers.

Serene cheerfulness is the great preventive of humanity’s ills.

Grief, anxiety, and fear are the great enemies of human life, and should be resisted as we resist the plague. Cheerfulness is their antidote.

Without cheerfulness there can be no healthy action, physical, mental, or moral, for it is the normal atmosphere of our being. - O. S. Marden in "Success Magazine."

SHE WHO HESITATES IS LOST.

Girl Who Wants Time to Consider Sometimes Loses.

There is a Philadelphia girl who has learned that so far as a proposal is concerned he or she who hesitates is lost. A very eligible and estimable young man had long been making it evident that his attentions to her were serious, and the other evening he made a formal declaration. She could not even put forward the orthodox ruse about the suddenness of the proposal.

Being of a rather vacillating turn of mind, she said she could not give him a decided answer. "I am not at all sure that I love you," the girl declared; "you must give me time to think about it." Considerably taken aback by what he considered her lack of decision of character the young man agreed to wait a week for her final decision.

So the wooed but not yet won maiden went to her bed that night pondering deeply. About 12 o’clock she was awakened to receive a telegram, which read: "You need not mind about deciding that matter until next week: I’ve found a girl who said ‘yes’ to-night." - Philadelphia Record.

Stop Autos With Dust.

Some of the farmer boys on the Long Island roads have hit upon a plan to "get even" with the hated automobilists who slaughter pet dogs and chickens in their wild bursts of speed. The "get even" plan is not unattended with danger for the projectors, but they seem to relish it.

The apparatus is simplicity itself, consisting of an old buggy, a good, strong horse capable of getting over the road at a fair rate, and a young cedar tree. The latter is tied behind the buggy and allowed to drag along the road, which at the point selected for operations is especially dusty.

When the boys see an auto coming they whip up their horse, taking the same direction as the approaching machine. When the old horse is urged into a gallop the amount of dust raised would do credit to a small cyclone.

When they met the "cloud of dust" the autoists generally speed up in hopes of passing the supposed farmer and giving him a little taste of his own medicine. After trying this ruse for about thirty yards, they generally slow up in order to get the dirt out of their lungs.

"Our Old Neighbors"

Under the circumstances, the writer of it being at a distance, but well known to all the older readers of the Gleaner, we believe we will be pardoned for publishing the following tribute to the memory of Mr. Dingley:

Chehalis, Wash., April 24^th, 1906. Dear Noyes: It was with saddened heart that I opened today’s mail, as I knew that therein would be found the account of the burial of an old-time friend; and it was through a misty veil that I perused your last tribute to one who was indeed worthy of the tender thought therein - of the kindly words that years of honest effort deserved.

One of the truest pleasures of my visits to the little city in which so many happy years were spent, was the meeting with Mr. Dingley, as his quiet smile, and firm, friendly hand-clasp spoke more eloquently than words of his kindly regard; and I will never forget our last parting, when he said "Good bye John, and good luck go with you."

Have written to Mrs. Dingley adding to yours my heartful sympathy.

May the Supreme Power, that we are so prone to forget until the hour of the Great Sorrow, comfort the bereaved ones and guide throughtout the mystic realm of the Unknown, the footsteps of the friend who has gone before.

Sincerely yours, -- H. J. Miller.

Ida Alberstedt, daughter of Mrs. Fred Limprecht, was married last Sunday, May 29^th, at Plymouth, to George Logeman of that city, where the couple will make their home. Ida has lived at Hemlock until the last year since when she has been at Plymouth. The Gleaner joins in congratulations and best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Logeman.

Stanley, N. D., April 24, 1906. Mr. J. E. Noyes, Greenwood, Wis, Dear Friend: I will drop you a few lines to let you know that we arrived here in Stanley all O. K., and are all well at present.

We have had fine weather except some wind, until today we had rather a cold rain and tonight it is beginning to snow.

Many of the farmers are through seeding, and the breaking plows can be seen turning the native soil. Say! It does one good to see the black loam turn over and shine as it leaves the plow and to know he owes no one for it either.

Some of the early wheat begins to look green. I am not putting in any wheat as I have only twenty acres which I shall sow to oats.

Are we doing anything in this neck of the woods? Will I guess yes. There were fifty carloads of emigrants unloaded in Stanley in three weeks. How is that? Tell some of the Greenwood boys to come out here in Ward county where we don’t have to pinch ourselves to be sure we are alive.

Respectfully, -- G. L. Cummings.

Saturday afternoon members of the Congregational Ladies’ aid society gave a farewell party at the home of Wm. Miller in honor of Mrs. Wm. Youngs. - Park Falls Herald.
