©earing Our Own Burdent.
In (lie moment of stre:s Into which
a n.^w grief or a ureal anxiety plunges
all human folk now and then, it Is
quite ntlural to blab out our woeful ;
story to the nearest listener. In nine
cases out of ten the recipients of e,ur |
confidences <V not rare. They l'sten
with curiosity Instead of sympathy and
consider one a bally fool for telling all
one knows. Heartaches wear out. just
as physical wounds heal. We have
bnt to wall In patience and silence.
This is the stronger and better way.

A Boston young man had married a

the young man.
"We haven't any to-day, sir," she ;
answered.
"Nor any other day perhaps?"
"No. sir."
"Well, what have you that you can

"We have some nice pork and

SLEEP F03 THE SLEEPLESS.
How a French Specialist Cces to Work
to Woo Slurrber for His Widc-
Awake Patients.
A French specialist has come to the
rescue of persons toileted with insom-
mia. Hi3 me'hod is somewhat vaguely
described as "lulling the wideawakes
to urn onselounness much as babies
are put to similiter.''
"It is a perfect palace of -eare that
he has opened in lovely Touraine," I
says llie I.ady's Pictorial. "Here is j
never a disturbing sound. The silence :
is broken only by the absolutely mo-
notonous and soothing tick, tock, tic:;
of solid grandfather c'ocks, and the
scarcely perceptible drip of unseen
fountains.
"Everything is se->n through a ceru-
lean haze, everybody moves in list
slippers, the air is fresh but full of
faint perfume. Ilefcre the eyes of
very refactory patients slowly revolve
colored balls, not the smallest rose
leaf being allowed to crumple in any
bed. each being so designed that there
Is no possibility of the body growing
weary. Here, in fact, the wooing of
sleep has been made a positive sci-
ence, and it is said 110 one can keep
awake here, however hard he may
try."

demanded If we expect to remain In
good health. We are like boys at
school now, and must endeavor to
learn how to do ever? thing n ouivr-rt
in the best possible way If future
conditions demand less detail in any
of our methods we shall cast out what
is useless; on the other hand, greater
elaboration and oinre care may be
found requisite to attain the ends
desired in a satisfactory way.
We are determined to learn all w*
can by experience of our own and
from the experience of others. For,
whatever we do in the years to come
in the line of outdoor work, be It
truck gardening light faru.:ng, raising
poultry, ^or breeding live stock, it is

Dog's Remarkable Intelligence.
Thomas Jones, who ownes a big
ranch on San Juan island, lost a col-
lie dog last fall lor nearly a month,
and for several days searched the
woods aVr.it his place zealously for
the animal, without success. Oue day
he tossed a bone to another coliie. in
stead of gnawing it, he picked it up
and started for the woods. He kept
turning his head, apparently to see if
be was followed, and Jones concluded
to follow him. The dog trotted along
fcr about a mile and stopped at the
edge of an abandoned well. He ;
mopped the bone over the edge of
the well. Jones got a ladder, climbed
down and found the dog that had been
lost. There was only about two inches
of water in the well, li^ the animal j
would have starved to Tenth had it
not been for the other. The lost dog
was In good condition, and as ft had
been missing 24 days the other ani-
mal must have kept It supplied with
food for nearly a month.

They do say that one of the things
a fellov remenibc-is the first time
he ever went courting a girl. And it
is one of the la-st things he wants to
forget, even if she turned l ira down
U'.ter on.
It Is not the trial now that it was
back in the good old dsys. !n th<>
country districts fo:ks lived in houses
of one or two rooms, or three at most
so that when a fellow went soarking
he had to face the whole family, and
you may depend upon it that the
whole family faced him. Somctimon
they didn't try to make life nkasa:*?
for him. This v. as specially true t.

ters.
Do you remember how big yo r fcc-t
felt, and the trouble you had to find
places for your hands, and how dif-
ficult It. was to keep up a convt.sa

would stay or die right there.
But you never forgot it, and yon
never will. Not will you ever quite?
forget the effort necessary to get your
courage up to the point of asking her
if you might call o.. her nor how glad-
some you were if she said you might,
nor how mean you felt if she refused
your request. As a frost this beat the
