QUIET WAYS ARE BEST,
Whats the use of worrying

Whats the use of worrying
 Q. burrying,
 And scurryiny Every body hHrrying
 And breaking m their rest'- When everyone Is teaching us Preaching and beseechiHg us To settle down ond end tho iuss, For quiet ways are best Tho rain that trickies down in showers, A blessing brings to thirsty flowers Sweet fragrance from each btimmin.s cup The gentle zeplyrs gather up, There's ruin in he ,empcst's pnih, There ruin in voice of wrath; And they alone aie hest Who early learn to dominate Them selves their violence ahate. And prove, by their serene estate. That quiet ways are best. Nothing's gained by worrying
 By hurrying.
 And seurrying: With fretting and with Hurrying Their tempers often lost; And in pursuit of some small prize We rush ahead and arc not wise, And find the unwonted exercise fearful price has cost. 'Tis better far 0 ioin the throng. That do their duty right along, Reluctant they to raise fuss Or make themselves ridiculous Calm and serene in henrt and uerse, Their strength is always in reserve And nobly stands each test. And every day and all about. By scenes within and scenes without, We can discern, with ne'er a doubt, That quiet ways are best.

New Difficulties Thrown In Its Way Every
Day Almost.
Chief Brown, of the Department of Pub
lie Safety. did not rest we'll last night. He
had a continuous nightmare of centipedal
telephone climbing all over him with an
interrogation point at one end and re-
porter at the other to know what had been
done with regard to the fire engine test.
He refused to answer, and turning over on
the other side. endeavored to get to sleep by
counting the sheep going over a fence, or
some other popular inducement to SOM
nolency, but when he got to the nine hun
dred and ninety-f(th sheep, the telephone
bell would again apprise him that lamb
wanted some information on the test.
From all the parties seen on the subject,
Chief Brown refusing to speak, it would ap-
pear as if the test would never come off
The Allegheny end of the string wants all
the concessions, even asking that the test
be limited to second-class engines, of which
there is a new one in Allegheny while the
latest accession in that class to the Pitts
burg department is IA years old. Every
concession made was on the side of Pitts
burg, and although the request to have the
Exposition grounds sodded and carpeted,
with cement cistern to draw water from,
and a gold-mounted, plush-lined suction
hose, was objected to almost every other
reasonable demand was met.
From conversation let drop by people in
terested it is more than probable the test. if
it comes off at all, will occur next Wednes-
day, and if not then it will probably never
take place.
Chief Brown is heartily sick of the whole
matter, and says if there is any test to be
made he wants it done as soon as possible,
as he does not wish to be pestered with per-
sonal questions or communications on the
subject any longer.
