The troubles that trouble the
most are the ones that never ar-
rive.
Sorns folks may not be helped
by going to church--but they
certainly won’t be hurt.
A rule diseases are prevent-
able. We usually bring sickness
and disease upon ourselves by
wrong and irrational living.
If people were as careful about
their religion as they are about
the clothes they wear to church,
what a pleasant place this old
earth would he.
and complaining, striving and
struggling in the effort to obtain
certain things, it may be social
or political position, houses or
lands; they contrive and sacrifice
everything to that end, believing
that when the desired hope is
realized then they will be face to
face with happiness. If the goal
is reached we find happiness is
still in advance and smiling back
in contempt, pointing on to mo •
land, a higher political position
and a more expensive manner of
living. We never find happiness
in our possessions, we never find
it in our achievements, but we
find it in this day, in its work,
its impulses, the opportunities:
and when the sun sets this day
closes, it becomes a memory; we
cannot store up this happiness
for the future, bu{; esch day
brings us new thoughts, new
work, new life, still concealing
the germ of happiness, but some
of us are too busy to look for it.

A Chicago man dropped dead
in a department store while
shopping with his wife. Women
who love their hubbies will take
due warning therefrom.
A dispatch says New York is
to have a building 62 stories high,
with a flag pole 150 feet above
that. The whole thing sounds
like another story, which makes
63 in all.
Stolen—An hour or so, from
’ the Lord last Sabbath. The pil-
ferer is not expected to return it
until the Judgment Day, unless
he chooses, but he will have to
account for it then.
An eastern society woman de-
clares a woman can’t dress on
less than $20,000 a year. We
know that there are many wo-
men that could take a few ci-
phers from that amount and
then look more womanly--than
those that spend a larger
amount.
And thus it is through life.
Let us make the best of what we
have to day and pick us the hap
piness we find here and there in
doing the work all around us.
We ruin our life and the lives
of those who live with us, by
crying for blmafias, only to find
when we get them that it is
strawberries we want.
It is no uncommon thing to
find a woman who proposes to
do great things after a certain
time; she will tell you she can
find no happiness until she has
accomplished some desired
achievement. There is sadness
in her eyes and a far away look,
looking down the long years that
lie between her and happiness.
And then some of these women
relinquish all ideas of happiness
because they cannot afford it.
Economy is necessary, but is it
necessary to pinch every bit of
sweetness out of life? Often one
will not be gracious to a friend,
for some little miserable idea of
economy, and thus miss much
happiness. True economy is
wealth, but this make believe
economy that defeats happiness
leads to nothing but the direst
poverty of spirit.—Word and
Works.
The Stomach.
If your stomach’s working
right, doing duty day and night,
you will fiind this life a blessing,
sure enough, but when it has
jumped the track everything
seems out of whack, and the road
on which you toddle’s pretty
rough. When a man can sit and
eat steaks ’taters and repeat you
will find he is contented and se-
rene; but the man whose stomach
groans every time he gnaws some
bones, gets to be a chronic sore
head, cross and mean. Oh, his
works are full of storms, and he
clamors- for reforms, and he
grouches round the village by
the year; when, if he could eat
some kraut without turning in
side out, you would see him wear
a smile from eai to ear. People
talk of broken hearts, and they
weep by fits and starts, telling
how they long to slumber in the
lomb; if their stomachs would
allow them to eat a chunk of cow,
they would soon forsake their
brooding and their gloom. Near-
ly all of the grief and woe that
we human beings know come
from stomachs out of kilter, sure
as fate; when man’s stomach’s in
repair he’s as frisky as a bear
and his bosom has no room for
fear or hate.—Walt Mason.
True it is that “life vvusts it
•self while preparing to live.”
Many go through life fuming
The Editor's Lot.
We could write all the items of
news on a postal card til tic have
been phoned in to qs this year,
and yet there are people in this
town who get swelled lighter
than a tick when we fail to pub-
lish a local concerning their
coming and going. — Wheeler
County Texan.
These people expect the editor
to keep up with their move-
ments. He should, according to
their view, be on the qoivive for
their doings. They forget that
he has other things to occupy
his time and that when they are
boarding the train lie may be
kicking the job press, and when
they are returning from Ama-
rillo he may be folding the pa-
pers for the mails. Of course
the editor should do his best for
them. The people who support
his enterprise should be well
thougut of by him. But they
should, iu their turn, help him
along. There is nothing immod-
est about telephoning or other-
77.se sending personal items in
to the editor. Such assistance
is welcomed by the always busy
and overworked man who is the
whole thing on a local paper.

“It is a pleasure to tell you
that Chamberlain’s Cough Rem-
edy is the best cough medicine
I have ever used,” writes Mrs.
fiugh Campbell, of Lavonia, Ga.
I have used it with all my
children and the results have
been highly satisfactory.” For
sale by all dealers.—Advertise-

It is disconcerting to learn that
many of our great citizens, whom
we have been taught to pattern
after, jaw their wives just like
common mortals when things
don’t run smoothly around the
house.
“There could be no better
medicine than Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy. My children
were all sick with whooping
cough. One of them was in bed,
had a high fever and was cough
ing up blood. Our doctor gave
them Chamberlain’s Cough Rem-
edy and the first dose eased
them, and three bottles cured
them,” says Mrs. R. A. Danald-
son, of Lexington, Miss. For
by all dealers.—Advertisement.

was worth only $1)00,000,000, Mr.
Rockefeller smiled and parried the

said. “Work and save. Then you’ll
j be richer some day than I am, may-
be.

tinued—“prosperity is said to have
ruined many a man. But, after all,

I GREATEST CONCRETE ARCH.
The largest concrete arch in mag-
nitude in the world, and the second
largest as respects length of span, it

Larimer avenue bridge over a deep
ravine and measures 312 feet clear
span. In Ausiraia, 12,000 mile*
away, there iB a huge arch of con-
crete with a clear span of 317 feet;
but as it is 36 feet wide, as com-
pared with the 50-foot width of the
