VOLUME XIN.-The WEEKLT ARGUS
enters this week upon its fourteenth
volume. 1t has been nearl Y six years
under its present management, and
has developed during that time 50
that its home news has about trebled.
1t has had no hobby, and has fully
demonstrated its ability and desire to
serve the best interests of the lrhOie
public. As each successive milestone
is passed, it looks back with gratiti-
cation over whatever progress has
been achieved, and renews determi-
nation to push upward in the future.
Six years ago, its publisher, then
just entering the field Of journalism,
was sneered at by some as a dun
geness boy" who had CHECK enough
to imagine he could publish news
paper. His best answer to such, and
to those who affect superiority, is in
the results of his attempt. These
have been accomplished by patient
labor, and wherein they have been
lacking in the highest standard Of
excellence they will be improved
hereafter if the lessons ofexperience
are not wholly lost.

to all ideas of equal rights"
The proposition to transfer the U.
s. revenue marine to the navy de

with deserved and energetic opposi-
tion. Protests are being forwarded
from boards of trade, revenue Off

the most useful. We hope it will be

The life boat was launched, but PROV
ed useless, as it sank. 1t seems, how
ever, that there must have been a
wonderful craze on the part of the
victims, as bale of hay is the best
kind of buoy, and, having so much
on board, the reason why they did
not use it seems unaccountable.
FRANCE, ever excitable, ever rest

The trouble seems to be, however,
that she has no one capable of mount

Worry.

The disposition to worry is partly a
matter of temperament, and partly a
matter of habit, often partly of both
temperament and habit. Some people
seem born to be in a worry all the time,
others seem to never take anything Sc
riously to heart; still others worry just
enough to escape contingent troubles.
Where worrying is a matter of tempera-
ment, the cultivation of sound philoso-
ply with regard to the ordinary affairs
of life may do much to check it. A
firm and abiding sense of the wisdom
and goodness of God will serve as an
antidote to it, but the removal of legiti-
mate causes of worry will not help mat
ters at all. The battle is to be fought
in ones own soul, and it matters little
how slight the precipitating cause may
be. One big worry will cure many
little ones, as one big sorrow swallows
up all lesser ones. Where worrying is
a matter of habit, the only wise thing
to do is TO break the habit by forming
one in the opposite direction.
II we planned our lives ourselves we
might have good cause to worry. We
try to plan them, but our plans are con-
tinually overruled and overborne by a
Power above us. We "know not what
day may bring forth" and we know
that the days are full of surprises, and
what we had not expected contin-
ually happens. 1t is right that we
should daily take our bearings and see
that we are steering in the proper di-
rection, but having done this, keeping
ourselves so is enough to occupy us. and
we have no time TO worry over dangers

Mrs. Macklefresh rose up out Of her en-

"No," broke in Mrs. John, who had

We came up to the funeralp'
And so, between hysterical tears and
laughter and questions that nobody pre-
tended to answer, they unloaded and
got into the house. At least Mrs. John
did. The two brothers sidled off behind
the barn. There John got hold of
brother Samuel's hand and shook it
silently and solemnly, while the strong
tears ran down both their rugged faces.
Neither offered or asked explanations.
In that moment their hearts spoke
plainly enough. ''This my brother
was dead and is alive again"
In the house they went to work more
reasonably to unravel the mystery.
Mrs. John showed them the telegram.

The brothers now came in wiping
away surreptitious tears with their coat
sleeves. They sat talking over the Gu
rious event, when the village post came
rattling by, tossing the mail at them as
they sat at the window. Some one
rushed out to get it, but, seized with

Expensive Match.Safes.

The salesman showed several in
bronze with raised designs in silver.
One of the designs was cluster of small
growing daisies and q bug towering
over it. The salesman pressed q spring,
the top few open, there was a crack
and flash, and wax match stood bolt
upright, ignited. The hinge on which
the Id worked was perforated, and by
peculiar spring the match imme-
ately beneath the perforat;on was
thrust through it and ignited by the
friction.

The young lady shook her head mega
