What it is matters less than what is made of it j as the value of a work of art lies in the flowering of a workman's skill. True life is possible in social conditions the most diverse, and with natural gifts the most unequal. It is not fortune or personal advantage, but our turning them to account, that constitutes the value of life. Fame adds no fnore than does length of days ; quality is the thing.

He was .an intre- pid . adventurer, and his discoveries added to the knowledge of the world at;that ttnie-vbat he was not a great man. and he should be honored only for the work he did—not fo.r the great deeds that prejudiced historians have said that he did.

It has long been known that the surface water on Church street, at the corner of Colton avenue, was a nuisance and a menace-; and that something should be done by the vil- lage to relieve the situation.

Also that 2000 widows died and only 1000 widowers, which shows that the average widower sur. vives the shock very well. There were over 5000 deaths of unmarried people, and ne.arly 5000 of married people. Judging roughly from the figures we might say that widowers are the safest of the lot, as only 1000 of them died. \\* v *r* \i\ When those railroad presidents go to call on Theodore they want acci- dent, insurance and return tickets. * * t South Dakota has made more string- ent divorce laws, now that her bachel- or farmers are well supplied with •wives, and Idaho is making a bid for the business. \Westward the star of Empire,\ etc. * * * The Women's Suffrage movement is at a white heat, in England.

The finders of the body notified Undertaker Roche of the body and he sent his man, who took the body to his rooms.

Following the accidental discovery of America by Columbus, came the Grandees of Spain. They travelled through part of what is now North, Central, and South America, and Mexico, blazing their trail with blood-stained battle axes, fertilizing the southland with the bodips of foe and friend alike. Because Columbus discovered the southern islands, and eventually landed on the shores of South America, Spanish occupation followed; and because of that occupa- tion the soil was permeated and bap- tized with blood tliat has never been allowed to dry. Because of it, revolutions, rebellions, treachery, cruelty, stabs in the back, and shots in the dark,are common occurreaces in the southern countries and; islands to this day. They are some of the results of Spanish discovery of America under the Italian Columbus; whereas, had the people of Northern Europe been coun- stable and the fury of the storm.'

Christopher Columbus, in The Dream- er's opinion, \was a very poor man to make a hero of, judged from any standpoint. He did not start out to discover new land, but to find an old land where unbounded -wealth was re- puted to be. His finding of America and' the Subsequent Spanish occupa- tion has entailed centuries of misery and misrule over a large part of the American continent. •* * * Christopher Columbus was not the firafdiscnver»T \f America, anyway—. so the Dfeifriistorians now tell us. That honor should be given to the Norse Vikings, who taught the world pelagic navigation. Lief Erikson first discovered this continent in the year 1000.

An extension is being built to the dining room \.and a hospital wing is being- built which \till accommodate 125 patients^ The dining room. when finished, will be S70 feet long and will accommodate 450 people. The improvements now making ° will p cost about $125,000. Since the home was opened, it has sheltered 969 different individuals. It is conducted at an annual cost of $70,000, For the children it lias an excellent school which embraces manual training, cooking and sewing. Since the institution was opened, it has been materially enlarged. The first enlargement was the addition of the children's building. Then came the construction of the new dining room at the rear of the center, and now the improvements spoken of above. When this is complete and furnished, the total value of the pro- perty, including land,'- buildings and furnishings, will'be at least $750,000. The farm is'being made quite a fea- ture and grows many vegetables. A hennery has been put in. and a •cream- ery will be added. Jesse B.
