Don't drum on the desk with your
fingers or 'joggle" your foot BY the
hour while sitting down. In SO doing
you are expending strength for nothing
strength to get which you have eaten
and slept-strength you need to use to
best advantage in sbuying, selling and
getting living
Every movement Of muscle, whether II
accomplishes anything or not, whether
voluntary or involuntary, costs an out
lay Of body strength. Every thought
also involves an expenditure of strength.
Therefore all thought involving fret,
worry, fear, or borrowed trouble il 50
much strength unproftably expended
1t win waste you away mind and body
You may always tell a man or woman
whose existence has been lifelong fret
BY their careworn, hollow, emaciated
faces. They are never healthy. Fret
kills more people than the chOIera. It
leaks away strength constantly. At last
the weakened organ or function gives
way. This we call disease. The doctor
comes and gives the disease q Latin
name. The disease may attack heart,
liver. lung, stomach, kidney. But the
real and underlying cause had been at
work for years in the patients mind
You can't help fretting, worrying,
borrowing trouble. That makes NO
difference as to result. Merciless nature
takes no account Of what you can't help.
Possibly you cannot help it. Years Of
habit may have made worrying second

HOW TO GET ALONG.


Trip lightly over trouble,
Trip lighly over wrong;
We only make grief double
By dwelling on it long.
Why clasp Woes hand SO tightly
Why sigh'o'er blossoms dead
Why cling to forms unsightly !
Why not seek joy insteadl
Trip lightly over sorrow,
Though all the dark.
The sun may shine tomorrow,
And gayly sing the lark
Fair hopes have not departed,
Though roses may have fed;
Then never be down-hcarted,
But look for joy instead.
Trip lightly over shadow,
Stand not to rail at doom;
We've pearls to string, of gladness,
On this side of the tomb;
While stars are nightly shining,
And Heaven is overhead,
Encourage not repining,
But look for joy instead

tion," said Joab, when he heard of the
general commotion, 'sis for me and Elsie
to get married at once.n
But Mrs. Spruce herself visited the Old
Red Cottage in Helena EIvira's behalf.
81 don't think you understand exactly
how matters are situated, Joab, . she said,
with her most maternal smile. sour
dear Helena Elyira-who is all shrinking
modesty and clinging affection-wiIl in
herit the whole Of Chalk Farm and ten
thousand dollars in hard cash the very
day that she marries. .
''But what is that to me1'' said Joab
Whitley, drumming his fingers on the
window-sill. Il hope she may be hap
PLY married, but"
"And," breathlessly added Mrs.
Spruce, "Paul's widow has nothing but
the gown she stands up inp
"What of thatq" said Joab, stoutly.
II love her-and she loves mel''
'sWell, " said Mrs. Spruce, tartly, ''if
you are determined to make fools of
yourselves, you can do son
And thus speaking, she shook the
dust of the Old Red Cottage off her feet
in disgust.
But when she reached C..alk Farm
once more, her husband was sitting in
the best room, with his head in his hands,
and face as pale as ashes, while oppo-
site him stood spare, wrinkIed, elderly
man in black.
Mrs. Spruce stopped on the threshold
just in time to hear the concluding
words of the strangers sentence.
According to your own account Of it,
Hubbard Sr4se," he said, ''you have
been defrauding this girl of her legal
rights. You have been swindling her
Systematically and deliberately. You
have laid yourself open to the severest
penalty of the lawl"
Don't, Mr. Payne-don't!" interposed
Elsie, who had advanced out of the
shadowy angie Of the room. 'He is
my father-in-lawi He has been good to
meip
"He has behaved like scoundrelln
sternly said Mr.. Payne HAnd it only
remains for you to lodge an accusation
in order that he NAV be placed in the
prison cell that he richly deservesl"
But Elsie put her arms around Hub
bard Spencer's shoulder, as If to shield
him.
''Neverl" she said.
"Thank God for that word, EIsiern
said Mrs. Spruce, hurrying forward.
Your father-in-law meant no harm. He
always intended, some time, to give it
back to you. What is this lawyer doing
here2'
He is the gentleman who always had
charge Of the Chalk Hill estates" said
Elsie. ''He came to see me about buy
ing some more land. This is the first l
knew of-of poor Paul's property. But,
oh, father, motherl" with a pleading
voice, ''it makes no difference to me.
No one shall ever know"
But to Helena Elvira's warped nature,
Elsie's sweet forgiveness was more bitter
than the sharpest revenge could have
been.
The Spruce family moved out of Chalk
Farm back to the little one storied house
whence they had originally come, and
left Elsie and Joab Whitley in possession
of their rightful domain.
''1t's all Paul's widows fault?' sobbed
Helena Elvira.
''Hush" sternly uttered her father.

The Irony of Fate.

Louis Napoleon, when resident in
London. use to prophesy that some
day he would sit on the French throne.
"Did you ever know such fool as that
fellow is?" asked an English states
man, who had been bored by Louis
prophecies. "Why, he really believes
he will be the Emperor of France"
The Prince, while resident of Lon
don, was made the victim of a cruel
hoax. Some one sent him a forged
invitation to grand dinner party at
Windsor Castle. He dressed himself
in court costume and presented him.
self at the castle gate, to be told by
the porter that as his name was not
down on the lists of guests he could
not enter, and as the Prince insisted
that he had received card, higher
officer Of the royal household was sent
for. "Really, sirs' said this gentle
man, "there must be some mistake.
AS her majesty has not the honor of
knowing Prince Napoleon, she will be
unabls to receive him." Ten years
later this rejected Prince, then EN-
peror of France, slept in the best
'sspare room" of the castle, and danced
with the Queen in the Waterloo room.
Such is the irony of time.

Buttered Flour.

A Connecticut company, SAYS the
Hartford Times, makes flour all ready
for baking biscuit or strawberry short
cake; it only requires to be mixed with
milk or cold water, and the batter is
ready for the oven. The process of its
manufacture is interesting. A quan.
tity of wheat -four is sifted and dump
ed into large tub. Butter cut into
large cubes is added to the -four. Then
the white coated operator weighs out
certain mysterious quantities Of baking
soda and fine table salt, which go to
swell the contents of the tub. Then
the mixture is placed in large polish
ed cask, which revolves slowly in one
direction, while a sort of dasher inside
moves in the opposite direction. The
cask revolves about thirty minutes, at
the end of which time it is opened. 1t
is found that the. ingredients heve been
thoroughly mixed; every particle of
moisture contained in the butter has
been evaporatei. and that the mixture
is as fragrant as new mown hay. 1t is
then placed in bags and boxed ready
for shipment.

Causes cf Dreams.

Instances might be multiplied al
most without limit of persons being
warned of impending illness by dreams
of more or less significance, says corr
respondent. During sleep obscure
caused by the perverted ac-
ton of some part Of the body, then in
the first stages of disease, are felt and
appreciated to some extent, while, at
the same time, they are not sufficiently
we'll marked to arrest the attention of
the mi ID engrossed with every day
cares and occupations. They are not
truly prophetic, for they indicate that
disease is already present.

absent friends, of their doings and of
what is happening to them, occur in
countless numbers in our nightly fan
cles. So long as they do not comm
eide with what We learn to be actual
events they do not arrest the attention
and are replaced in our memories by
more important things, But let one
of them coincide with something that
actually occurs at the time or at some
long future period, and at once it be-
comes marvel worthy to be recorded
in the daily prints and to be worked
up with similar ones into "Footfalls

and the like. If condolences should
never occur it would be a far greater
marvel than if a dozen should be re-

The impulses registered in certain of
the nerve cells of the brain may not
be sufficiently energetic to manifest
themselves to our waking conscious
ness; when most Of the faculties are
dormant in sleep, these, acting alone,
may be strong enough to be realized
by the mind, or be revived to such a
degree as to be remembered after awak-
ing. Problems in mathematics have
been solved in this manner, and the
process of solution remembered on

A Story Of Two Slaves.

Probate Judge Hawn, of Leaven-
worth, Kansas, issaed marriage IL
cense recently to james and Eliza Kel-
ley. There is nothing remarkable in
the issuing of the license, were it not
from the fact that the old couple were
not fully convinced that they had ever
been married, although they have lived
together for many years. 1t is one of
the old stories of how young couple.
as slaves. were made man and wife af-
ter the custom prevalent in the sunny
South at that date. Children were
born 10 them, but the slave dealer came
that way and their master being push
ed for money disposed Of their child
rem. Times grew harder and it was
not long ere the husband and mother
were separated, one going to Louisiana
and the other to Tennessee. Then the
war came and the exodus Of slaves to
Kansas and other States, and uabe-
known to each other they both came
to Leavenworth.
While attending church in this city
one Sunday the old man became con-
vinced that he saw his long lost Liza
in the congregation and at the close of
the service approached her, and called
her by name and in moment the two
people, who had been separated for
over thirty-five years. were locked in
each others embrace. They had saw
ed some little money during their sep.
aration and purchased farm six miles
west of the city and as they passed a.
long together the question as to whe-
ther they were ever legally mnrried
was frequently discussed and for fear
there might be some mistake they con-
cluded that the better way would be
to secure a license and have the mat
ter definitely settled. This they did,
and there were no happier couple in
all the world than James and Eliza
when the ceremony was performed =
The record shows that he is ninety
four and she sixty-six.

DEER CREEK FARMERS CLUB.
Milk Cows.

The January meeting of the Deer Creek farm
ers' Club was held at the residence of Mr.. Thos.
Lochary, near Thomas Run, Saturday, 9Th in
slant. The subject appointed for discussion was
Milk Cows.
Mr.. Lochary said every farmer should endeavor
to improve his stock, and especially his milk cows,
which every farmer must have. They are
are not only profitable to keep but profitable to
for milk and butter. He had read of Jersey cows
making 800 lbs. of butter a year. We can't buy
that kind, but we can get good bulls and improve
Cows should have as great variety OF food as we
can give them: An ordinary sized COW about 8
lbs. of corn and cob meal a day with other food
bran ls excellent to mix with meal. He thought
fodder had q tendency to make butter light in
color, while good well cured clover hay gave the
butter rich color In raising beef cattle II is not
best to let the cows cave until three years old
but for milk and butter they should be allowed
Edward p. Moores thought grade Alderneys and
Jerseys best for milk and butter. Milk cows re-
quire great deal of attention and feed, and If it
were not for the convenience of having the milk
man had better feed steer and buy his butter
A COW should be fed every time she Is MIXED IT
will make them quiet and bring them to the yard
al milking time; A farmer who has good COW
should raise all his heifer calves There ia more
profit in that than in the COW herself Clover
hay, bran and meal mixed. make good feed
VIM. Slade also regarded Jerseys as the hest for
milk and butter. Farmers should keep the very
best cows, as 1t costs no more to keep good COW
than poor one. Full bred COWS are mostly
quieter than common breeds. Twice day il
often enough TO milk cows, but they should be
iUllFeu anu leu regularly. warm SOD feed in
winter Is the best for cows.
John w. McCommons was of the opinion that
for butter the A,derney COW, with plenty of kood
feed. is best. Good clover hay Is better than fod-
der for COW. 1t will make richer butter
Streaming food Is of great advantage and Stop feed
should be given occasionally. Glover hay soald-
ed. with bran and meal over it. makes good feed.
Geo. Il. Silver believed the Jersey or Alderney
is the best COW for milk and butter, but COW
must be well fed u you want her to make great
deal OF butter. He preferred Short Horn stock
to raise calves from but they do not make as good
butter as the Attorneys. An Attorney is only
profitable for milk and butter. He thought fod.
der gave butter a bitter taste. No kind OF coarse
food Is better than clover hay, and a change Of
food Is profitable, as 1t keeps COW healthy The
me now OF milk may be increased by slop but the
yield OF butter will not be increased, nor will tho
quality be so good. He likes to feed on corr
meal In winter time. II keeps a cow warm but
1t Is not so good for milk Several farmers nigh
join together and keep a good bull
John Moores said be had as good cows % or q
years ago as can be had now. They were of mix
ed breed, partly Devon and partly Durham
There are poor Jersey as we'll as other breeds
