That plenty but reproaches ms
Which leaves my brother bare
Not wholly glad my heart can be
While his Is bowed with core
If I go free and sound and stout
While his poor tetters clank
t'nsated still I'll still cry out
And plead with Whom I thank
Almighty: Thou who Father be
Of him of me of all
Draw us together him and me
That whichsoever fall
The olher's hand may fall him not—
The other's strength decline
No task of succor that his lot
May claim from son of Thlno
I would be fed I would be clad
I would be housed and drv
But If so be my heart be sad—
WhHt bcnedt have I?
Best he whose shoulders best endure
The load that brings relief
And best shall be his Joy secure
Who shares that joy with grief

When Jared Peters went west to help
the country grow up Rose Hawthorne
thought her heart was broken This
was a logical sequence of the firm con-
viction that she could not live without
Jared which had led her to engage
herself to him In accordance with this
fixed idea she for a day or two re-
fused food and mournfully contem-
plated the prospect of an early demise
But an Immature mind cannot long
dominate a young and healthy phy-
sique On the third day she made sev-
eral surreptitious visits to the pantry
on the fourth day she dined openly and
heartily and the day after she was
startled by the discovery that she had
not thought of Jared for several hours
The Sunday following Jared's de-
parture she permitted Harold Winter-
set the son of a wealthy manufacturer-
from a neighboring city to accompany
her home from church and linger for
an hour at the gate and she was again
startled by the discovery that she en-
joyed his society quite as much as
Jared's
Then she went upstairs and sat down
in the moonlit window to consider
She had all the rules of love at her
fingers' ends She knew that “Absence
makes the heart grow fonder that
true love never forgets or wavers for
the fraction of a second She was
therefore forced to the conclusion that
ena did not love Jared that she never
lrid loved him and the manufacturer's
son was allowed to call regularly
Jared’s letters were Intensely Inter-
esting The little western town which
he had taken under his wing was on a
“boom” He had already doubled his
small capital and was proceeding to
double It again Rose had all the rule3
of arithmetic also at her fingers' ends
She knew something of geometrical
progression and having become in
view of her large experience skeptical
In regAT-1 to the tender passion she
planned her future operations on a
strictly commercial basis After care-
ful consideration she decided that a
budding Western capitalist in the
Land was worth more than a wealthy
manufacturer's son in the bush so she
did not break her engagement and
she did not mention Harold in her nu-
merous and entirely satisfactory let-
ters to Jared
Although his love was false Jared
had one devoted admirer From the
day It was declared that the red-faced
mite of humanity called Jared was the
image of his grandfather the old man
had found his chief occupation In trac-
ing his own chaiacteristics In the
growing boy
“He’s a Peters every Inch of him”
gran'ther would shout when Jared’s
boyish achievements creditable or
otherwise came to his notice
Gran’ther Peters had always liked
Rose and of all the grils In the coun-
try round he would have chosen her
for Jared When therefore at the
age of sixteen Jared first walked home
from church with her gran’ther re-
tired to the grape arbor and chuckled
till he was black in the face He did
all he could to foster the budding
romance and when the engagement
was formally announced his rapture
marly caused a fit of apoplexy
When a tattling neighbor brought the
news of Rose's double-dealing the old
man flatly refused to believe it but
when with his own eyes he saw Rose
and Harold strolling by arm in arm
in the dusk he took to his bed After
two or three days of misery mental
and physical he arose and spent an en-
tire afternoon in inditing a letter
which struck consternation to Jared's
soul It wa3 vague In manner and
matter but he gathered from it some
inkling of the truth and immediately
wrote — not to Rose but to one of her
girl friends By return mail he re-
ceived a spicy and perhaps not unex-
aggerated account of Rose's “carry-
ings on”
Now Jared absorbed in speculation
ai lie was had kept a little corner
of his heart for Rose and thought
himself a miracle of constancy because
lie had not allowed another to share
it There are pretty girls in Kansas
and there was one In particular with
wondrous dimples that he had noticed
just barely noticed you know-— so he
made the customary remarks about fe-
male perfidy He wrote Rose a biting
letter — and tore it up for a subtler
revenge had occurred to him He di-
vined that Rose preferred him to
Harold— if he succeeded in making
money and he plotted accordingly
From this date his correspondence
took on a dismal hue The boom was
declining and there were vague hints
of pitfalls that ensare the unwary and
the inexperienced Close on the heels
of these dire forebodings followed a
rumor that Jared had come home un-
expectedly looking very soedy and It
was surmised “dead broke”
Friends and neighbors Rose and
Harold among them promptly gath-
ered on the broad piazza to greet the
home comer and learn the truth of the
matter Oue glance at the young
man’s doleful face was enough Dis-
aster was written on It
At first he seemed disinclined to
talk but numerous well put queries
finally loosened his unwilling tongue
Among the friends Jared made in the
west was one who had been born un-
der an unlucky star He was lutelll-
gent and shrewd but everything he
touched turned to ashes Where others-'
reaped golden harvests he reaped mis-
fortune and his affairs became serious-
ly Involved He was too young to
know that while there is life there is
hope and one night Jared who room-
ed with him came home to find his
friend stretched on the floor with a
bullet through his head and the
empty revolver in his own stiffening
right hand
With the callousness of youth Jared
adapted this young fellow's story to hl3
own uses Up to the culminating
tragedy he told it as his own and told
it well He was a clever actor and
fully realized the dramatic possibili-
ties of the situation
The stage setting was perfect A
rising thunder storm had dyed the
summer twilight an inky black and
continual flashes of lightning Illum-
inated Jared's handsome melancholy
face and sombre eyes He sat oppo-
site his false sweetheart and Harold
and behind him the old man white-'
faced but firm-lipped glared over his
boy’s head like a wounded lion
As Jared’s sad mellow voice died
away with a little break— he felt a'
pang of genuine emotion as he remem-i
bered poor Wiley's face with the bul-j
let hole In the forehead — Rose's heart
melted All that was sweet and wom-j
anly and good In her untutored soul
rose to the surface She crossed the!
piazza and laying her hand on Jared's!
shoulder resolutely faced her froWn-
Ing parents and the chagrined Ilaroldi
"I shall stand by Jared” she said!
In ringing tones
Jared started to his feet in dismay
This climax was precisely the opposite!
of the one he had courted and ex-
pected The face of the dimpled Kan-
sas girl flitted across his memory and
then disappeared forever The boom-:
erang he had launched burled jtseif1
In his own heart The two yiung'
things who had been playing with the1
eternal verities of love and death
looked Into each other’s eyes and by
the white light of the approaching
storm saw there that which made
them afraid and ashamed of what they
had been doing— saw the dawn of an
everlasting affection — the affection that1
mocks disaster and calmly ignores!
doubters and detractors as the placid
moon Ignores the yellow dog that bays
it
Gran’ther's face was convulsed with
delight Tears of Joy meandered un-
heeded down his wrinkled cheeks as
glaring at the dslcomfited Harold hei
raised his staff and brought it down
with a force that split it In twain
"She’s a Peters every Inch of her"
he roared "Leastways she soon will'
be"
Rose was somewhat shocked when
she learned that Jared's woes were all
assumed and that he had prudently
“I Shall Stand by Jared"
escaped from the collapsing boom with
the neat little nest egg of one hundred
thousand dollars but she becarno
reconciled to the situation in time

Needless
is Worry
It is An Easy
Matter to
Drop It
“What Is worry?” Annie Besant
In the Theosophical Review asks this
question and then dilates upon it
somewhat as follows: “It Is the proc-
ess of repeating the same train of
thought over and ‘over again with
small alterations coming to no result
and not even aiming at the reaching of
a result" He who is given to worry
has dwelt on a puzzling painful sub-
ject wishing but failing to find the
solution of some problem until held in
this anxious and uncertain condition
he becomes dominated by the fear o?
the anticipated trouble His thought
current has made for itself a channel
and his mental energies flow along
this track as It is the line of least
resistance Held as it were in this
brain-track by the fascination of fear
his mental vitality is sapping itself
away and poisoning the blood cells in
his brain As Elmer T Gates has
proved by his chemical analysis of
perspiration of the man who Is de-
pressed low-spirited and despairing
he is actually producing a ptomaine
of a certain kind which enters into the
circulation of his blood and often
physical disease follows Now how
can we get rid of this worry channel?
By digging another of an exactly op-
posite character made by definite per-
sistent regular thought of the kind
opposed to worry Let a man who is
given to worry give a few minutes
every day to some noble and encour-
aging thought Let him picture the
Divine Self within as a fountain of
strength and peace from which he
may drink refreshment at any mo-
ment of need Let him turn and listen
to the message of his fnnermost Divine
nature and he will find himself en-
folded in peace that swollows up fear
If he will persist In this with regu-
larity the thought will dig a new
channel and the old one will disappear
Ere long he will fijid that wheuever his
mind is free from labor his thoughts
will flow unbidden into the channel of
peace and power which will shed a
restful atmosphere around him felt
though perhaps not seen by all who
'are near him Mental energy will
flow into healthy nourishing channels
increasing not sapping his vitality and
worry is a thing of the past Thus
may we learn the secret of rising
above troubles and pain until they si-
lently steal away

Dougherty county now lays claim
to the champion big tree of Georgia
It was discovered several weeks ago
by employes of the Red Cypress Lum-
ber company who were engaged in cut-
ting timber It rears its head from
amid a thick swamp where hardwood
trees abound and to this is due the
fact that it was not discovered sooner
- ais giant of the swamp is a syca-

cept in seasons when a great deal of
rain has fallen Its trunk is not reached
by water A foot from the ground Its
trunk is forty-four feet in circumfer-
ence For twenty feet above the
ground the body of the great tree Is
round and symmetrical but at that
point it branches into four sections
any one of which would make a giant
tree if standing alone The four arms
of the big sycamore do not spread out
as would seem natural but reach sky-
ward almost perpendicularly The
tree Is pronounced by all who have
seen it a curiosity and places “In the

John Quincy Adams under date of

"Mr Crawford (secretary of the treas-

period of his administration gone to
the Senate with a project of a treaty
to be negotiated and being present at
the deliberations upon it They de-
bated it and proposed alterations so
that when Washington left the Senata
chamber lie said he ‘would be damned

XOatcr Keeps Men Ail'd e
It is no secret to medical men and
physiologists that there is a great deal
of nourishment in water Even that
which Is sterilized contains enough of
solids to keep a human being from
death for a long time During a pro-
longed fast the loss of weight is un-
j usually rapid at first and decreases as
I time goes on Death ensues when a
certain percentage of the loss has been
reached and this percentage varies ac-
cording to the original weight Fat
animals may lose half their weight
thinner ones perhaps two-fifths a man
jor woman of rather spare build weigh-
ing 143 pounds might therefore lose
about flfty-flve pounds before suc-
cumbing Children die after a fast of
from three to five days during which
they have lost a quarter of their
weight Healthy adults however have
fasted fifty days when water has been
taken A German physician reports
the case of a woman aged 47 years
who fasted for forty-three days tak-
ing water freely She lost forty-four
pounds of 143 pounds and died from
exhaustion 1 -71

A Sigh for th Old Inuketpir
There are times when the frequenter
of the gieat caravansaries would for
a little step out from the glare and
bustle and take his ease in the old
way in some pi ice w here there would
be no crowd no obsequious servants
no extravagance in dress no gilded
furniture no office encumbered with
bags and trunks and choking with
cigar smoke no gaudy bar no are
lights no clanking steam pipes or
grassy furnaces no dining-room where
one Is supposed to eat in state and
at the whim of a terrifying head
waiter to be company for people one
does not care for and especially where
the bill at the end of a week would
not take away one's income or his
breath There Is in fact a chance
especially at our summer resorts for
a new innkeeper who shall be the old

A vocal teacher says that it is her
observation and experience that choc-

that nuts have this tendency and the
clubwoman who must spiak at a
breakfast or luncheon invariably de-
clines the salted almonds in order to
preserve a clear voice Onions are
almost the best nervine known No
medicine Is so useful In case of nerv-
ous prostration and there Is nothing
else that will so quickly relieve and
