Many of us pray to be delivered from
sudden death, and do we worry ourselves
into it? If we do, can we help it? To
most of us it is not given to choose our
lives, to avoid the rough places, to
gently shoulder to one side disagreeable
facts. We must climb over the rocks
though they hurt us sore, and the diff
culties, however they may annoy us,
must be met with brain fret and wear
until they are conquered, or we have
passed them. They are as real, living,
annoying, as any tangible ache or pain
could be; as brushing and irritating as
the peas in the shoes of the pilgrim of
old. Nervous health is one thing, and
moral health and purely physical health
is quite another and different thing.
Calm and steady mental work is condu-
Give to long life but nervous emotion,
mental work that is constant urging,
and, at the same time, is an unhinging
of the even tenor of the mind eats
away the brain faster than any mental
labor, no matter how hard, that is sys-
tematic. AS men do not really die of
heart disease as often as supposed, but
of apoplexy, or congestion of the lungs,
so they do not die of brain work, but OF
brain worry. Scott died of it; South
ey, Swift, Horace Greeley, and proba-
bly, Thackeray. Times.

IT is possible that the renowned Capt.
Jack may not have inherited his treach-
erous and fcrocious disposition from his
Indian ancestors after all, as it is Sc
riously claimed that his father was q
full-blooded white man. The Frankfort
(ky.) Yoeman says it is believed by
many in that region that the leader of
the Modocs is the son of Capt. Jack
Chambers, a native of Kentucky. Capt.
Chambers, who served with credit in the
Texan war for independence, left Ken
tucky about the year 1916 with party
of cmigrants bound to California on
fortune hunting expedition. The party
broke upm California, and it was report
ed by those of its members who return
ed to Kentucky that Capt. Chambers
fell in with the Modocs, and married
the daughter of their head chief, whom
he succeeded on the death of the latter
as the head of the tribe. 1t is also said
that Chrmbers, who in his physical
traits greatly rescmbled the best type of
American Indians, after living with the
Modocs some years became 50 much like
the others of that tribe, both in speech
and appearance, that no stranger would
have suspected him to be of white birth
At the time he joined the Modocs he
was between thirty-tive and forty years
of age. 1t is said that the present Capt.
Jack is the son of full -blooded chief of
the tribe; and taking all these things
into consideration the Kentuckians feel
very sure that he is the son of Capt.
Jack Chambers.

WOMAN'S GOLDEN AGE.

Here is a curious story of the slavery
times which we pick up from Western
Carolina newspaper: In the gold mining
regions of Burke county lived an INDUS
trious, well-to-do free colored woman,
named Nancy Boyce. She was engaged
to marry Jack, slave, and, in order to
have everything pleasant, she put her
hand in her pocket and bought him Off
his master. But she was shrewd enough
to take bill of sale of him, fortunately,
as it happened, for Jack turned out to
be utterly worthless, and perfect sot
But little need was there for Nancy TO
go to the courts for relief by divorce.
She owned her man, and she SIMPLY
sold him to slave-dealer, who carried
him off to S thy Was Was never bothered ere 'I~S h~
t.iS .9 again. Husbands have been badly
sold before, though not in this particn
lar way.

THE Modocs were originally klamath

THE Modocs were originally klamath
indians, breaking off from that tribe
about one bundled years ago. They are
not, as is generally supposed, mixture
of several races, but pure Kamaths, an
edshot from tribe that was once all
powerful in Northern California and
Southern Oregon. Many of them have
intcrmarried with the whites, and some
of them with other Indian tribes. That
they were not improvident is shown by
the fact that they had five tons of pro-
visions stored in their stronghold in the
lava beds when it was captured by the
troops, and they had made some pro-
gress in agricultural pursuits,

NEW WAY or ORA WING THE BABY

NEW WAY or ORA WING TIE BABY.
A labor saving young genius in Evans
ton, ILL.,, recently saddled the duty of
drawing the baby out for an airing upon
n noble mastiff. He made a nice harness
out of the clotLes-line and had Just got
it nicely adjusted, to the evident delight
of the cooling occupant of the carriage,
when the noble mastiff's favorite play
mate of the cher sex frolicked past
Utterly obliviots of the new duty en-
joined upon him, the dog sprang after
his companion, and the two started for a
run at reckless pace. A howl from
the startled hopeful brought both parents
to the scene, and then ensued chase
for dogs and b.by which beggars de-
scription. Up one street, down an
other, through blind alleys, across
crowded streets, and all that time that
baby gathered lungs as the crowd in
pursuit gathered members. At length
a friendly stump precipitated the pre-
cious infant, all IN it's lovely white en-
