A congress niado up of hum- drymon ought to favor clean politics. Mr. Taft has Hont n rolltop desk as n gift to tlio HUltan of Oman , thoiiBh a breech-clout might bo a moro fit ting present. The McNamara trial will cost $500- 000 , and there are clairvoyants who would toll you whether they are guilty or not for $5. How fortunate that no presiden tial election Is coming on this fall to bo Intoroforod with by tlio world nodes of ball games. The government says the bathtub trust must dissolve , but this stop Is not calculated to nniku lliu small boy like Saturday night any bettor. The womc'ii are getting so set up over tlio California vote that pretty soon they'll bo demanding tlio right to leave tlio house without permission. In view of the difficulty of getting jurors as manifested in the McNam ara trial , why not require all the judges and lawyers to take their turns ? While coffee Is high , some people may go without their breakfast appe tizer , but a turn at the wood pllo will servo the same purpose at the same old price. Plowing matches are popular In rural Illinois , but no member of the 400 will lower himself by touching an implement that Is useful in supportIng - Ing human life. Senator Joseph W. ttailey says he is going to retire because "political conditions have become unsatisfact ory. " It very often happens that way before they quit. If they can't get jurors without preconceived opinions for the McNam- ara trial , they will bo able to fill up the panel by sending to tlio school for the feeble minded. The world's championship baseball tickets were sold by the speculators at from $ G to $20 , and yet some people eays a family can bo raised in com - fort on $10 a week. Woodrow Wilson says liquor has no place In politics , but anyone who ever observed the crowd at n convention , tion knows that It fills a very wide place In the politicians. Some moro Carnegie heroes get medals , but wo know of several men who nave endured without a murmur . the pangs of fall house cleaning with out any public recognition. Canada has a pleasing toy In the shape of a new governor-general , and lie will bo popular If ho doesn't try to govern anything more serious that the gold lace worn by his staff. In view of the attendance at the world's series games at Philadelphia it Is evident that quite a number of Quaker Cltyltes have missed their af ternoon naps for several days. Figures being produced to show that only one out of olghty-slx murderers In this country Is executed , it Is evi \ \ dently much safer to commit homicide than the crime of track walking. Canada is grieving because they have 000,000 less people than they ex ) pected. It Is evident that they do not know the elementary principles of the art nf census taking up there. Dradstreet's Index of the price of commodities declined In September from $ S.S1 to $ S.SO , as the result of which many families will decide that they can afford a now automobile next spring. A New Jersey man has been arrest ed charged with stealing $100 worth of barrels from the Standard Oil com pany , but John D. may have left them around loose hoping someone would carry them off. The Austin and Black River Falls disasters both produced heroes to warn tlio people of their danger. This country seldom lacks a here when one Is needed to perform some special act for humanity. It is reported that an effort is being made to raise " $200.000,000 to estab lish an Insurgent newspaper in Chi cago. " At least the Insurgents seem to have some Idea of what it costs to run a newspaper. A geneaologlst says that there have been four kings in John D. fe feller's ancestry. That may be , int fhey have not helped him near as much as the four aces ho has long held In hit * hand. Mr. Taft turned the first spadeful of earth for the Panama-Pacific expo sition , and then promptly dropped the H ndo. How does ho expect the Job will over lie done If all the workmen get tired so quick ? Now York Is stirred over tlio mur derous hatpin nuisance. Recollecting how we used to handle fishhooks In our boyhood , why not require the end of every hatpin to bo stuck Into a big piece of cork ? The Hall of Fame directors had been thinking of putting John Mar shall llarlan In a vacant nlcho , but now that John Franklin Baker has put u homo run over the right field wall , ho Is clearly entitled to the place. Attention Is called to the many un happy marriages among novelists. Our experience Is that when a news paper man becomes a Journalist his morals suffer , and when he graduates Into the novelist's profession , his downfall Is complete. In spite of the ridicule that has been heaped upon the almost blood less war between Italy and Turkey , the fact remains that It is not over yet nor are the difficulties settled. While all hope for a poaccf.nl settle ment tlio situation still bristles with ugly itncuim imns . Should any such misfortune be vis ited upon the country as the election of Senator La Folletto to the presi dency , ho would never bo able to saj President Taft did that ho was the president of the whole country. As president he would bo president for his own faction , his own following and fanatically so at that. The death of Justice John M. Har Ian removes one of the sturdiest ami most Impressive from the supreme court of this country. Unlike many able judges he regarded justice as o far moro Importance than technically of procedure. Ills name will always stand high on the roll of great jus tices who have served their country brilliantly and well. The commissioner of public works In Chicago in a recent report of his Investigations of public buildings bridges , water pipes and conduits says that electricity Is eating away much of the iron and steel founda tions on which the city is built , as well as the water pipes and conduits This Is a decidedly unsafe condition of affairs. Hero Is the opportunity for some inventive genius to dlscovc some means of preventing electroly sis. According to its own newspapers Italy has 200,000 people who live in straw huts because they are too pee to afford houses. It has not a suffl cient supply of drinking water , It system of sewerage Is inadequate 100,000 have died recently for lack of proper food , CO percent are Illiterate and 500,000 are annually forced to leave the country because they can t- not make a living there. This Is the dark side of beautiful Italy. Her pee- , pie cannot live on the grand scenery and the works of old masters. President Taft has announced his Alaskan policy , it Is not a new policy but rather a renewal of former recom- mendations to congress. The coal lands are to be leased , much upon the terms used by Canada. Alaska is not to bo bottled up nor denied the bene fits of Its resources , neither is it to be exploited by capital on the rule of all the traffic will bear. It Is to be realized that the people have some rights In the wealth of this vast terri tory , and these rights will be recog nized. When the price of coffee took Its : . hist upward soar we were informed that it was because the crop was poor and the supply was consequently In adequate. Now , when It was suggest ed that a tariff of 5 cents a pound be tacked onto the present very high Xprice of this household necessity , It [ has been discovered that a few inter- ests have stored away In warehouses in the great cities , hundreds of mil lions of pounds of coffee , all of which they would bo able to sell at an In- creased profit of 5 cents a pound if the tariff was raised. It is said that moro than 5,000,000 bags of coffee are being withheld from consumption , and the price is going up in spite of an exceptionally good crop. STEPHENS' ATTACK ON TAFT. In assailing President Taft for the Panama canal project , charging that tlio whole thing Is a graft executed by the president and the corpora tions , Dan V. Stephens Is doing moro to make a Joke of himself than to gain confidence of the voters of the Third congressional district of No- braska. The Delden Progress says that Mr. Stephens delivered an address In that town In which ho assailed President Taft and the whole republican admin istration , especially the Panama ca nal project , and stated the whole thing was a "big graft executed loy > Taft and the corporations. " ' Every schoolboy , of course , knows that the Panama canal project was begun by Theodore Roosevelt when ho was president and that this was one of the greatest achievements of the Roosevelt administration. Every schoolboy knows that President Taft hat * been carrying on the work of building the canal with the greatest zeal and that when completed this big ditch will bo one of the most Im portant factors In American com- lorce. It IH equally well known that ho 1 big corporations were opposed to ho canal because they saw In It a owcrful rival to the railroads for ranscontlnental freight business. If ) un Stephens has made the discovery hut President Taft Is a grafter , then o owes It to the world to produce ho evidence upon which ho bases his crloua accusation. Until ho produces iroof the public may well set It down political clap trap. BAITING THE UMPIRE. The warning administered by the Vational Baseball commission to John McGraw , manager of the Now York ilants , and the fine Imposed on Base- nan Fred Merklo for kicking at Urn- ) lro Connolly's decisions , shows some disposition to Interfere With the na > tonal sport of baiting the umpire. The attitude of tlio bleachers to ivard the umpire has been compared with that of the Spanish crowd that flocks on holidays to sco the vlcltlni ) f the bull fight. Some have ever suggested that the reason for adding i second umpire to watch bases was not so much to cover the decisions nero accurately , but that the crowi lomnnded a second umpire to worry lust as the crowd at a Spanish bul fight wants a couple of bulls. It Is further alleged that though the victim at the bull fight Is not bourn by any code of rules and Is provldei with a couple of horns which ho can use effectively , the umpire is held down by a code of two score regula tions. Moro seriously , figures were nt onetime time compiled showing that In the season of 1909 , 355 cases wore report ed In the newspaper where physical violence upon an umpire was attempt ed , for the crlmo of making decisions against the homo team. This took no account of such playful attentions as the showering of ginger ale bottles tles , cushions , or other available mis siles. The passionate dislike of the visit ing team so dominates the heart of the fan that ho falls to stop at legiti mate comedy. Of course the senti ment of the diamond never banishes the clown who pits whimsical and good-natured humor against the nerve of an opponent. It will always bo permissible to shake the self control of the opposing pitcher by calling him a "farmer. " But the people who financial sup port makes scientific ball possible do not pay down their good money to see assault and battery. Nor are they paying the players primarily for such gifts of wit as they find It better done at the vaudeville theater. They go to see baseball as n spectacle of brainwork - work and skill of hand and eye , and neither of these are displayed by heaving bad names nt the umpire. PRISON STRIPES. The recent announcement that At- lanta federal jail is to give up the is one of the many changes taking place In prison methods. Lawmakers and prison officials have tried ft wide range of methods of deal ing with criminals. Some men now living can recall the days when the Jail at Simsbury , Conn. , used to chain the prisoners' feet to iron bars , and their heads to Iron beams , the quar ters reeking with filth. At the other extreme are the pris ons of Japan , where the criminals are paid for their work , and given such a happy time that they often re turn voluntarily. The Japanese Idea of prison clothing is blue and brown kimonos of comfortable appearance. Warden T. J. Tynan of Colorado state prison , a notable figure among modern prison managers , keeps his men In stripes for six months. After that ho takes off the hated badge of degradation. "If you will give me n square deal , " ho then says , "I'll give you one. tote honest with me and yourself. " Then ho puts his men in olive green khaki , and takes them out to the prison camps , where they labor on the road without armed guards. The men thrive physically , and do good work. Recently some free men have been employed on road jobs nearby , and Tynan's convicts beat the free men both on the quality of their work and at baseball. The matter of clothes may seem a mere detail of prison management. Actually It must penetrate a long way Into the consciousness of every prls- oner of any Intelligence and sensitive , ness. Humanltarlanlsm In these putty , hearted days may go too far. Warden Tynan's idea of wearing stripes for at least six months is very likely a wise provision to make the iron of disgrace sear the very heart of the criminal. Under this method , the graduation from stripes to khaki may be quite nn incentive to good behavior. Inso far as the prisoner shows himself willing to llvo the normal llfo of work and service and harmony with the state , ho may well bo allowed to assume the normal dross of the citi zen. A DYNAMITE PLOT. The fellows who tried to dynamite the Southern Pacific bridge at Gavl- ota , Cnl. , built by non-union men , just before President Taft's special train was duo to pass , may have thought that mere murder Is getting too com- nonplaco to attract attention. If a resident of the United States could lie bagged , their deed would get Just ho right on'phasls. The rireat majority of labor unions have grown moro peaceful and law- abiding. A .kod If It Is possible to prevent \lolenco In connection with stilkcs , John Mitchell says : "Yes , If It were otherwise 1 would abandon the whole labor union movement. " The trade union men have published statistics showing that the number of murders In the anthracite coal strike under Mitchell's guidance in 1U02- : ! nv was but one to 140.000 of the popula tion t Involved. In Chicago the proportion tion t of murders to population for a . year Is about one to 1,000. ! ! On the other hand , there Is a mi nority of labor unionists who go Into the game to win at any cost , and con sider that homicide is a fair weapon to t meet the alleged crimes of capital. It all reflects the indifference to life 1 and failure to enforce the laws. 1j A recent wilier compares the results of homicide In Chicago and London. London ] in a recent year had twenty- four t murdoiB. Chicago , with less than a third the population , had 12S at ( the .same time. In London all of the alleged murderers - ers were arrested and nine of them were hung , four going to the insuno asylum. In Chicago out of the 12S homicides there were thiity-four con victions , and only one was executed. Does the English murderer s\t \ down on the sidewalk until the Lon ] don ( police come along to gather him in ; ? As you look at our impressive police in tl'ts majesty of their march through the streets of a pleasant af ternoon , the trouble does not look like lack of physical courage. The lavish offerings of flowers re ceived by our murderers from the general public , is one symptom. An other is that tlio police officer who falls to catch criminals is less unpopu lar than one who uses his billy a lit tle too frequently In arresting a drunk. Wherefore we hope that the officers who are scouring the hills after the perpetrators of the California out rage , will be very keen to the scent and mn very fast. CALIFORNIA WOMEN'S PROBLEM. California having apparently voted for woman suffrage , both the advo cates and opponents In the rest of the country of tills revolutionary change will hope to see the Idea tried under the most favorable conditions. If the new force In California In politics is to be sane and wholesome , Its leaders have before them a task of drilling and disciplining a great army of new recruits in the battle of good citizenship. One of the most encouraging state ments about woman suffrage was a recent analysis of the vote of Pueblo county , Colo. , showing that 90 percent of the women of what was called the best residence district were casting their ballots. This Is a good showing. Many men from localities of this type would not spare thirty minutes from their office to exercise an act for which our patriot fathers endured the bloody snows of Valley Forge. On the other hand , there is the de pressing fact from the same source that 82 percent of the women from the rooming houses In the red light district were marching up to the polls like sheep goats would perhaps bo more descriptive to cast the votes that wore thrown in in the bargain sale of their womanhood. An impartial observer said recently that Colorado woman suffrage had made it more difficult for drunkards , gamblers , libertines , and liquor deal ers to secure office , but that there were just as many grossly Incompetent men in public office. He quoted one society woman as saying that she voted ed for Parker against Roosevelt in 1904 because ho was a handsomer man , and that she voted against Gov. Peabody because she did not approve of his wife. Of course It goes without saying that the mnny men who vote for the candidate that gives them the widest smile of recognition on the street may offset this type of female citizen ship. ship.From From any point of view , It will be admitted that woman's greatest weak ness at the polls will be from lack of business experience. The leaders of California womankind ought to Ira- press on their followers these two ideas : That they should bo suspicious of mere talkers that have demonstrat ed no ability In some form of product ive human effort ; second , that justice should bo esteemed even superior to generosity , that a politician does not atone for graft by giving ThanksglV' Ing turkeys to the poor. REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET. The republican party presents to the voters of Nebraska this fall a ticket worthy of their support. Two of the candidate for supreme Judge have already given splendid service on the supreme bench. Judges Let- ton and Rose of Nebraska's highest court have been tried and have prov en faithful to the trust given thoin. F. G. Hamer , also candidate for supreme premo judge , is an able lawyer of years of service In Nebraska. As n deep student , unswayed by prejudice and deliberate In Judgment , ho Is capable - able of doing his duty and reflecting honor upon the supreme bench , All , of these men Letton , Rose and Ham er are men high up In their profes sion and certainly to bo trusted with the office to which they.aspire. When the republican party of Nebraska stamped KB endorsement upon them , It took Into consideration the candi dates of the party In the past who have proven themselves faithful to every trust given them by the pee ple. The people of Nebraska demand the highest typo of men for their ubllc offices , and the republican arty , ever mindful of Its duty , again lacea before the voters , men worthy f their support , ThomaB L. Hall , of Lincoln , nom- 100 for the office of railway conunls- loner an office created by the re- ubllcan party was born and reared n a farm In Richardson county. Neb. , ml has lived In the state for forty- Ivo years ; graduated from University f Nebraska with class of 1890 , and ho years following was engaged In linking business , connected with the 'Irst National and Lancaster County auks of Lincoln , First National of \uburn , and Verdon State of Verdon ; neanwhilo read law and graduated rom law department of university vith class of 1S9C ; five years presl- lent of Verdon State hank ; practiced aw seven years at Falls City ; pur- hased home farm and for five years armed and raised stock ; and for past wo years has practiced law at Lin coln ; is expert accountant and fitted > y experience and training for the losition of state railway comntls- iiouor. In the two candidates for re-elec- lon to the office of regents of the state university Frank L. Ilnllor and Victor G. Lyford , the republican party las but to point to their records an egents of the state university. They KIVO been careful servants of the icoplo and have given a good account of themselves. The voters can make 10 mistake by approving of the good work of these men at the polls on election day and permit them to con tinue the good work. The republican candidates this year are to be recom- nended very highly to the voters. They are safe and sane and are to be trusted. AROUND TOWN. We're back. And we'd like to know who's been trespassing In this garden all the week. Whoever it was said we bad an attack of unimportant , everyday , commonplace grip when as a matter of fact wo enjoyed a siege of tonsllltls. Now that sure was libel. But we have a clow. We've found fingerprints , outlined in dots and dashes , on our typewriter keys and stand ready to convict the telegraph man. We almost have a notion to sentence him to grind out this column every day of his life , now that he's climbed the fence and stayed here a week. But speaking of tonsllltis , we are almost willing to draw a diagram of those great snow-capped peaks that [ filled our throat , silently blocking any effort to get food Into yonder stem ach. It made us wonder why the fel low that wrote "Beyond the Alps Lies Italy. " didn't write it : "Beyond the tonsils lies the stomach. " Fifty big ducks , however , got to the Gulf , owing to those tonsils. We had expected to go out shooting for a half hour the night the tonsils sent their victim to the mat. It almost tempted a fellow to take up his bed and walk. He would , if it wouldn't have taken so much brass. ( Now that's a retiring nature for > you. ) P. S. Yes , it's a brass bed. But speaking of game , we did slip one over on the tonsils , at that. The day the snow molted off the peaks , in came a prairie chicken from the prince of all good fellows , and maybe you think that chicken didn't get a royal welcome. We notice they called off those world's series games till we could be around again to enjoy 'em. Speaking of world series , the tele phone rang yesterday and the party's voice at the other end of the line couldn't be heard. So The News op erator Just said , "No , they're not play ing today ; wet grounds , " and let it go at that. We'll bet ten to one it hit the nail , too. A Norfolk boy was stumped Satur day. There were chances to see a football game , go to a matinee , see a moving picture show or go to a party. He figured that he could see other football games and that he might in duce his father to take him to the show at night , since It was Saturday ; so he'd go to the party. A Norfolk boy likes to go to school for the sauo of the recoss. If they don't play that fourth game pretty soon , we'll die of nervous pros tration. Wo can't stand this tension much longer. It looks as If Now York was keepIng - Ing the grounds soaked so as to rest up Mathewson. Maybe the grounds aren't wet at all. It's perfectly dry around Norfolk. Kansas City has another game of Hyde and seek on the docket. That new serial story Just starting In The News Is above the average. The fellow who for two years has been letting the casters drop out of this chair every night or so , will , never , never do the trick again. Not oven on Hallowe'en. For ROIIIO travel ing gent with a patent castor that can't come off , ciimo along here yesterday cio erday and tacked his now Invention upon the chair , vaccinating It against i further attacks of the mlschlof-makor. Apparently the National Commis sion road yesterday's NOWB and de cided to play ball. And It's u good thing for them they did , They don't seem to hnvo reached our name In that Rosebud drawing. Seems queer , too. But como to think of It , wo didn't register. Now that's another thing tonsllltls can do to you It can keep you from registering and drawing a farm and growing up with the country and get ting rich. Aren't tonsils the devilish things , though ? The nnn easily approached Is usual ly the hardest to get away from. People who are always expecting impossible things to happen are much surprised ar. events that should bo as confidently expected as spring nf j lor winter. There are certain words ono rarely sees i except In a description of a wed ding , or some oilier society event , and 1 hate every ono of thorn. Many men wreck both fortune and health ] trying to make another dollar they : do not need. There is an umpire in every walk of life. You say what you think in smart. The umpire decides the 10- mark isn't funny , and there is no laugh. You write what you think is a great book. The umpire decides you are out , although you think you made a homo run. You buy a hat you think IH becoming. The umpire says it is a foul , and street boys whistle approval of his decision. So it goes in "very- thing. Alwnys an umpire to decide against you. This is the year you expected so much of last year. A man went to Chicago and made a big success. And now his wife is denying that when she lived in a lit tle town her family owned a cabinet organ and traded it in on a piano. Nothing is more pitiful than to see the wife of a dead heat go into a store and ask for credit. Wo all need thoroughness In plain education more than we need a smat tering in the higher branches. There are so many rat holes for a man's money that ho can't fill all of them. A congressman is a good deal like a railroad man : ho jollies the people along until they forget their wrongs ; and the people have so many wrongs [ that they can't remember all of them very long , How careful and sensible a man Is the day after he made a fool of him self ! In winter , when the different legis latures are in session , a reform wave is as certain as a revival in the south when the negroes have nothing else to do. A poker joke always gets u laugh ; but a large majority of men know little about the game except that a good hand is hard to get. An awkward man In society is often a thoroughbred In business. We all have too much confidence ; and this conceit often gets us into trouble. Keep out of trouble , if possible ; about nil your friends \wlll do for you when you get In , will b to say : "I'm sorry. " A contractor's "tomorroxy" means three or four weeks from tomorrow. I haven't gone to school in forty years , but the ringing of a school bell always gives mo a vnguo feeling of dread. This is great country for rain when wo don't need It , and for dry weather when wo need rain. We Americans have a lot of old traditions we accept long after wo know better. The manager of an "Undo Tom's Cabin" show which Is touring the ker osene circuit , has a lithograph showing himself and Abraham Lincoln as the two greatest men of the ago. It Is as much as a man's llfo Is worth to marry a second time , If ho has daughters ; but sons , particularly married sons , usually realize that if there Is any punishment coming to the old man because of the folly of a second marriage , the second wlfo will provide It. How many foolish things there are to beguile us from the really Import ant work of our lives ! Every circus day a farmer drives a team of young colts to town. The colts are sure to go crazy at sight of an elephant , but the farmer will tie them In front of a store on the main street ; ho knows the town men will hold on to the colts , and allow him to enjoy the parade in peace. After a man has used tobacco a long time , quitting is almost equal to de lirium trcmens. They say a certain man and woman wore married last Sunday. The worn- an was at work as usual down town this morning. That looks as though the story Isn't true ; when n woman gets married , you bet she quits work. SATURDAY NIGHT iCRMONS BY W.PUKVIS.DJDI CHRISrS DON'T WOIUIY CLUH. Text , "Ilo not therefore mixtoim for the morrow.-K. ( V. ) Matthew vl , 31.

It IH an attnclc of the ravenous , restless horde of the ImpH of four , precluding refisoii , par alyzing action. Impairing appetite , dis turbing Bleep. Htlmulating disease. The full , rich strength of the subcon scious mind , that which produces our best success , IH tapped and wasted ou worry. If I wore to write a twelfth commandment It would be , "Thou shalt not worry. " "Off the Banks. " Worry leaven days when all goon wrong. Your mental , moral and phys ical self feels foggy and Boggy as morning off the hanks of Newfound- hind. From 7 a. m. till 10 p. m. things "break wrong. " After a worried , sleep less night you get up out of bed oil the wrong side. Beefsteak Is tough ; coffee is muddy ; some one's stolen your morning paper ; you miss your car , catch n cold In your head and n cinder in your eye ; there's a note due and no money to pay it ; agent comes In and wants to Insure your llfo when it's already Insured for moro than It'H worth ; you wave him out and upset your Ink bottle over your typewritten letters. Shoo ! You're in for a day of it The gloom imps are camped on your trail. The duy's out of Joint , and no nur- geon can set It You'd shut your desk and go to the ball game only it's just started to rain. If there docs como n break In the clouds , mental or physical , you discount it. Some people do that habitually. "How are you today. Aunt Hannah ? " you say to your old maiden relative. "Oh. I feel pretty good , only I always feel bad when I feel good , 'cause I know I'll feel worse afterward. " "Behind the Clouds Is" Oh , say , cheer up ! "Behind the clouds Is the sun Btill shining. " "Noth ing HO bad it mightn't be worse. " "It's always morning somewhere. " "Every cloud has a silver lining. " "Long lane that has no turning. " "Always dark est before dawn. " Of course you have troubles. So have others. I heard our Ilttlo colored wash girl say to her older sister , standing scratching her tousled head , "Say , Llze. 's you got creepers ? " " 'F cose I has. Everybody has ! " Most of our worry Is wolfish. Wo think of ourselves and our cares only. There are others. Ever keep a "worry book ? " On the left hand page of the ledger each worry you've entertained ; on the right the actual event , whether the worry comes true or was only n molehill foolishly turned Into n moun tain. tain.At ' At month end you'll fln'd most wor ries hobgoblins. They've run away. Your right hand page will bo ciphers. Stand up 305 panes of window glass and try to look through them. Might as well look in your hat Take up ono at a time the vision's clear , sunrise and sunset , and the day as it really Is. Read of Edison's Jest ? Going to take a trip to Europe to give himself a chance to worry. He's been so busy that he's had no opportunity. Catch bia thought ? Idleness , mere pleasure , menus worry. Work , action , shuts out worry. Think of busy days and use fulness , "How dismal you look , " said the bucket to his companion on the way to the well. "I was thinking on the usclcssncss of our being filled ; wo only como away empty. " "Oh. " smiled his companion" , "what a Btrange vlewl I always think no matter how empty we come wo always go away filled. " What Men Worry About. They're worrying v over everything imaginable and often . ' i.'iaiiy things un imaginable. Watch any ordinary gath ering of people In a room , street car , street corner and notice tlu worriers. The boat will be lost , the train wreck ed. It will bo raining when they get there , they will be too late for clnner. People worry when they're poorXand when they're rich , when home atid when abroad , when In trouble ami when they've escaped It ; because they are tall or Bhort , dark or fair , fat or lean. Excessive ambition gets Its grip on a fellow who's doing nicely. The humming bird wants to be a crow , the robin a buzzard. They fly higher and look bigger. Our good old easy chair Is multiplied into twenty stiff gilded things. Wo collect things for things sake.
