rllEN Bnturday night comes with Its retrospect or tno wcok just
gono It Is very easy to llnd things to complain about. You havo
been dlsannolntod In a fishing trip or a picnic, porhaps. A Job that
should havo boon good for tho wholo wcol: lasted only four days. That
real estate doal on which you counted with bo much confidence did not
Co through. Johnny fell and broko his arm and something was added
to tho doctor's hill. Business has not boon 03 good nB cxpoctod and
ehowB n loss Instead of gain. If not theso things, then plenty of others,
bocauso no man's llfo runB along In smooth wators always.
But why dig up theso unpleasint things about tho week Just gono
this Saturday night, or any other Saturday night? Are thoro no ngroe
nblo momorlcs to recall no smllos, no kind words, no good deods, no
pleasures? Thoro woro thorns, but woro thero not roses, too, here and
thoro amid tho thorns, blooming with splendid beauty for you, and
shedding a Joyous frngrnnco for you?
Horo Is a flno thought that It will bo worth while to tako homo to
your Innor self this Saturday nlght.for helpful ubo now and In tho fu
turo: "MEN GRUMBLE BECAUSE GOD PUT THORNS ON
ROSES. WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER TO THANK GOD,
BECAUSE HE PUT ROSES ON THORNS?"
That Is n prlzo thought u prlzo thought In moro than ono sense. Years
ngo Evangollst Moody, a groat and good soul, offered a reward for tho
bust original thought offcrod In competition. That Httlo gom won tho
money. It Is not niuioly beautiful; It Is eminently practical as well;
thoro Is that, In It which will holp n man to think moro of tho happi
ness ho has ovory wnuk than tho troubles.
No scuslblo man complains of tho occaslonnl thorn prick ho gets as
ho gathers roses In his garden; tho thorns nro forgotten as ho holds up
Into tho shimmering sunlight tho beautiful red, wlilto and pink bios
coins ho has plucked and sniffs their glorious frngrnnco.
No Rcnfllblo man should on Saturday night recall the thorn pricks of
tho weok Just gono, but lio should hold up tho week's Joys and delights
nud succoshoh big nnd llttlu, opon blossom, and hud, and forgot every
thing olflo ns ho looks upon tho flowers ho has plucked by tbo way and
warm his soul with happiness In thorn.
"Bohold wo count them happy which enduro," say tho acrlpturos.
That Is anothor way of finding grantor doltght In tho rosos In tho wook
just gono than In tho thorns by enduring.
Municipal Ownership in Canada
(From tho Lothbrldgo, Alborta, I In tho prosont Btngo of tho clty'a
Hornld.) growth It Is very doubtful Indeed
THE "WEST Is. nothing If not pro- whothor It would bo a paying system
groBBlvo, and In no flold dooa tho for somo tlmo, tho citizens nro will

lntho realm of municipal govern-1 loos In ordor, that' they may rotaln
inont. Tho most conservative faction for thomsolvca tho profits of tho f u
in n woBtern city would, In tholdoruro and nlthoifgh thoro aro many
countries, bo considered radical, If .capitalists wh6 would snond larco
sums In ordor to obtain a franchl83,
nro elevated to the bins anil automa
tically stoked Into tho fires bonenth
tho boilers without being onco hand
led by man or horse.
The mlno only commenced opera
tions last spring, the best part or a
year previous having been taken up
by development work, opening up
"rooms." and so forth, and yet, ac
cording to Superintendent Scott's an
nual report, It was operated at a pro
fit or 12,500 during tho fow months
that It was worked. Tho total
amount of coal taken out was 8,904
tonB, lfi cwt. Tho power and light
department was charged $1.90 per
ton for tho coal It usod ami tho differ
ent city buildings ?3.50 per ton. Jt
was on this basis that the profit of
$2,500 for tho year was figured out.
If tho power plant had been charg
ed a price anywhere near tho com-
jmerclal cost of coal In tho city, tho
profits of tho mlno would havo ng
urcd out sovoral thousand dollars
moro than $2,500.
Lethbrldgo, sovoral years ago,
abandoned tho system of having Its
wator and sower mains by contract.
It docs all that kind of work Itself
by day labor. Last year It oven
went so far as to purchaso nil tho
coment required for tho year's pro
gram of granolithic sldowalk laying.
The public ownership of so many
public utilities nnd tho policy ontor
ed upon of doing all work by day
labor that Is posslblo Instead of lot
ting contracts, means n vast amount
of work for the mayor nnd board of
aldermen an necessitates a largo
Btnff of highly paid and efficient cly
"officials."
It was doubtless this fact that led
tho citizens nt tho elections Inst fall
to voto bo overwhelmingly, ns they
did, In favor of n straight commis
sion form of government, responsible
direct to tho people, nnd tho com
ploto nbolltlon of tho aldcrmnnlc

Tho attention of Constnblo W. B'.
Cox was called to a liorso with n
broken log that was left to dlo In tho
road, JtiBt beyond Eastport, yesterday
nftornoou. It was roportod to tho
authorities that a man named 'Hawks
brought tho antmnl from tho Blnn-
chard stables In this city and Just ns
ho was about to placo tho horso in
tho pasturo it stumblod and broko a
log. Hawk ovldontally thought no
moro of tho nnlmnl and wont bnck
to town. Residents of that section
called tho Constnblo by tolophono and
ho Immediately wont out and shot tho
animal. On his return ho wont to
tho Illnnchart stables nnd compelled
thorn to Bond n couplo of mon'out to

That makes It seem tho brightest,
Glad-to-seo-you-day-or-nlghtest,

Anothor town

Of gold,

A streot car ov'ry minute,

There's no town
