The FnETEuL HABIT.
Acquired by Those Who suGer rrom
Imaginary Wrongs.

Imaginary Wrongs.
A great many conscientious and ex-
cellent women of middle age fall into
the fretful habit. They are naturally
of a timid, nervous temperament. and
the adversities of the world. through
which every one suffers in greater or
lesser degree, have made them appre-
hensiye for the future. it is very easy
for such n person to establish the wor-
rying habit and IL is not easy when It's
once established to conquer it. IL is a
very selfish practice, which destroys
more cifectually than almost any other
habit the peace of mind of those per-
sons who are compelled TO dwell with
the fretting one.
1t has been repeatedly and truthfully
said that more persons suffer from
imaginary wrongs than real ones, and
it is equally true that women wear ont
their nerves and hearts. and finally die
worrying more over troubles that never
come than over legitimate grief. There
are vast number OF people in the
world who seem destined by the good
Lord to live like the sparrows, from
day to day, grateful for the food and
shelter of the time, and without power
to look far into the future. The only
rule for such people and the only rule
for every one is to trust the future TO
the God who alone controls the future.
Fretting and worrying is q direct dis
obedience Of the Christian command
TO take no thought for the morrow"
fIhfe a1no ,,,na,,o. ..so - ful-a =, ,f,
anxious thought. We are to do our
duty day by day, and consider the "evil
of the day" as it comes, without adding
burdens to the future which will unfit
us for the necessary work which we are
given to do. How many woman has
brought confusion and misfortune on
herself and family by failure TO renem-
ber that the evils of the day are sufli-
cient for her to consider. Worn out
and heart-broken over prospective
trouble, she has failed to do the work
that was given her to do, and real mis-
fortune followed.
Sympathy is of very little value TO q
fretful person. IL usually increases the
trouble. The only remedy for fretting
lies in the will of the individual, who
must sternly resolve to trust the prob
lens OF the world and Of her own life
TO Heaven, and humbly and quietly do
her work day by day. A little careful
repression of the impulse to look on the
dark side win some time work won
ders on fretful person.
Sometimes the health is seriously at
fault, for melancholia is recognized as
n disease. In such q case a change of
scene, il possible, and cheerful com.
panions, will often drive away tho
"dusky shades" Even in such u cass
the mind has power at the beginning
to conquer the tendency TO worry, anc
every effort should be made TO arouse
the sufferer to the necessity of looking
on the bright side Of llfe.-N. Y. Trib
une.

the police of intimidating witnesses for
the defense and denounced many of
those who had appeared for the state
as perjurers. He declared that the
chain of clrcumstantial evidence on
which District Attorney McEwan had
dwelt in his address to the jury was but
a fragmentary collection of distorted
facts. He found flaws without number
in the story furnished by the state and
declared that no jury composed Of sem

returning a verdict of guilty on such
evidence Adolph L. Luetgft shed

TERRORIZED HIS MEN
President Fletcher Forced His
Employees to Do His Will.
HE FALSIFED INSURANCE RETURNS.
Startling Revelations Result From an In
vestigatIon Into the Methods of Do
ing Business by National life
Association of Hartford.

HARTFORD. oct. 14.-The directors
of the National Life association have
admitted to Insurance Commissioner
Belts that millions Of dollars OF insur-
ance had been kept on the books and
reported to the directors when pay
ments on this business had not been
made since 1892; that President Dol
phin S. Fletcher had been not once,
but continually, a party to misrepre-
sentation to the directors; that he had
been responsible for systematic false
statements as to the business OF the
company, and that he had compelled
all under his direction in the company
to do his bidding and make the state
ments he ordered or walk the plank.
No one was prepared for such reve-
lation. 1t is said that when an eXami-
nation was determined upon $4,000, 900
of alleged insurance reported in annual
statements was marked off.
President Fletcher, whose resigna-
tion, with that of Secretary II. T. Bra
man, has been accepted, was not pres
ent when the revelations were made.
Mr. Braman, with tears I'm his eyes,
told how he had to do the presidents
bidding or lose his $4,000 position when
he had a family dependent upon him.
Commissioner Belts said the presi-
dent had not been ignorant of the false
returns ana must have known all about
the s2.0O0,000 on the books but not re-
ported to the state department He
also averred that policies have been
shaved
1t is stated that Mr.. Fletcher who,
though no longer connected with the
company, has been at the office every
day, will be requested to deliver his
keys and refrain from interfering with
the work in progress by even so much
as being present to see what is going on.
Mr.. Fletcher has endeavored to ex-
plain away some Of the points made by
the state officials. Steps have been
taken toward a reorganization Of the
company. which is still on a firm finan-
cial basis. Mr.. Fletcher and his family
own a majority of the capital.

In Many Ways She IL Truer 20 Her
Womanhood by being So.
When one judges truly what it is TO
be "old-fashioned" in some of the mod
ern progressive" ideas, it does not APP
pear so bad. 1t may be true that one
who refuses to be so essentially "mod-
ern" in all phases Of life misses some
things. But then these progressive"
spirits seem to miss some things, too;
they seem to miss in about everything
they do. and incidentally miss, as well.
the true aim and essence Of life. And
there are often strong compensations in
the attitude of tho "old-fashioned." II
brings fewer after-regrets; fewer pic
lures one wants to blot out. An indif-
ference to healthy progress is injuri-
Gus 10 anyone. But when progress
seeks to improve upon those elements
in life which are God-ordained. the wis
est of us are those who stand still or
fall out of the ranks. There are some
things in this world which even the
wonderful genius of this century cam
not improve upon. They were fash
ioned by n skill beyond our ken. And
we would better let them alone. "For-
ward" commands the old proyerb, but
then it adds, "but not too fast" The
cautious woman, the home-loving wom-
an. the woman fond of her children. and
with belief in God, who gave them to
her, the woman of pure heart and good
purpose, the woman who loves and is
beloved, need never be disturbed that
she is called "old-fashioned." Perhaps
she is. But it is no disgrace to be odd
fashioned" in some things. She is
truer to her womanhood by being so.
And she is always in good company
