Importance and Value
Of Little Things.
O matter how great our ambition may be to do great
things, it is just as well to keep in sight the importance
and value of little things. Great results do not grow
out of great causes but out of a multitude of minor exertions,
making the great result possible. The oak tree rises from a
small acorn and many small acorns can grow a forest. Many
good intentioned people really waste some of their. power
waiting for a great result and disregarding the real daily and
minor efforts that shall bring the great result to pass.
There is another view, but it is riot often spoken about.
It involves the thought that great moral characters and men
and women of extraordinary power frequently are those whose
lives, analyzed day by day, week by week and year by year,
show a long series of mistakes. Their growth to strength
frequently comes from recognizing the mistakes and then
striving to undo the results of these mistakes and the reso—
lution never to make such a mistake again. You can depend upon it that back of the triumphant front some men
and women of power turn towards the world, there is a battle
field of the heart strown with defeated enemies of the self,
each victory being little in itself, but the total result being
grand for the individual and of untold benefit for the human
race. The usual view is that a mistake once made can never
be undone, and that “the bird with the broken pinion can
never soar so high again,” but the wing of a bird and the
moral power of a man are not parallel,

Torpedoes vs. Cannon.
HE Russo-Japanese war has shown the superiority of
torpedoes over big guns. Every disaster suffered by
the Russian fleet and every advantage gained by the.
Japanese thus far has been due to submarine explosives.
The big cannon in the turrets of the warships and on theland fortifications have accomplished little. Japanese battle
ships steaming backward and forward in front of Port
Arthur, distant several miles therefrom, have thrown a few
shells into the city, and the Russian guns replying have
sought in vain to disable the distant war vessels. A few
persons have been killed and a little damage done; but the
firing of a big gun is a costly operation and it is probable that
the battles fought have been as costly to the attacking force
as to the attacked as far as the cannonading was concerned
But with the mines and torpedoes the situation is different. An inexpensive little boat dashes forward, depending
on its small size and speed to escape destruction, succeeds in
discharging a single torpedo and sinks a battleship, The
total expense is small, the number of men concerned not
large and the damage great. : 5
Every war is a lesson in military science. Nations, like
individuals, learn only by experience, and one of the lessons
that will be learned from the present war will be the torpedo
mode of naval warfare.

Omaua, April 21.—Staggering in his
walk and with bleary, bloodshot eye,
little Willie Grayson, a 56-year-old lad,
jast big enough to be wearing knee
trousers, was brought into the police
s‘ation last night in a dranken condition. With him was brought his
father, who was also,badly intoxicated
and who was said to be responsible for
his little son’s condition. Both were
covered from head to foot with mud,
as the result of falling in their staggering walk into the gutter, The father, who gave the name of John GraySoD, was so badly intoxicated that very
little could be learned from him. He
finally stated tbat he was from South
Omaha end that his wife was waiting
at the depot there for him to buy e
ticket for her to Fremont. He could
not tell how he and his son came to be
at tbe Burlington station in this city,
where Officer Fiske arrested them.
The lad, who appeared to be exceptionally bright for bis age and size, could
talk a little more, although still considerably under the influence of liquor. With a lisp in his voice he said:
“T’m pretty near sober now. We was
drinking in a saloon and when we
came out I staggered so that I fell iato
a big hole fall of mud. Then dad fell
in on top of me and we got awfully
muddy.” When asked if he had ever
been to school, the lad gaid that he
went once. Oat of consideration for
the boy's extreme youth, the officers
did not book him as a prisoner, but
simply put bim in a cell where they
could watch him during thenight, He
is the youngest child ever brought to
the station in a drunken condition.

subject—‘‘What Can Young People Do
for Missions?” ‘Prayer and_ the
World’s Evangelization” wae taken

discussed by Rev. Thos, Marrish was
given a very deep meaning and signif

profitable suggestion and thought.
During the noon hout a local committee of ladies served a splendid

The program this afternoon was carried out as heretofore announced, every

Gaylord vs. Martin
The tiial of the suit of Gaylord &
Son vs. Richard Martin came on for
settlement in the Superior Oourt this
forenoon, Ju’ge Nilon presiding. The
impanelling of a jury was quickly dispoecd of, the following being drawn
and accepted: J. Orr, J. F. Trebilcox, W. Reynolds, W. Coombs, T. W.
Noell, A. G. Chew. T. O. McGagin and
Fravk Kendrick. Both sides presented their cases, in substance the same
as that first alleged and answered in
the commencement of the suit. At the
time of our going to press J. M, Walling was about ready to begin his argument for plaintiff, to be followed
by Thomas 8. Ford for defense. It is
thought they will conclude in time to
give the case to the jary, which is composed of eight men, this evening.
The action was commenced on January 20th by Gaylord & Son to recover
the sum of $767 86, balance due which
they claim Martin owes for goods and
merchandise obtained from them,
They also aak that defendant be taxed
costs of suit. Martin denies the allegation by filing counter claims in the
following amounte: Poles, $179 41;
horses and harness at the reasonable .
figure of $890.
