worry that tries the souls of mankind
Comparatively few of us. however, are
exempt from the worries that haunt

quence the most useful lives are gener-
ally the ones marked for nervous col
lapse. We cannot give up, our families
must be provided for, but what are
they going TO do when we do give up?
Under this strain of constant effort OF
mind and body no one can continue
indefinitely unscathed, and multitudes
of half-broken men and women sur
round us. They have consulted their
doctors without securing aid. and they
work along as well as they can In an
aimless sort of way that seems to be
without hope Of relief. All OF such

The County Commissioners are still re-
ceiving answers to their letters of inquiry
sent out to ascertain the views of citizens
on the question of cutting down the court
house lawn. Yesterday the tally showed
that 1l9 were in favor of cutting it down.
while 1l0 were against it. and q answered
i'm such a way that their views could not
be tabulated in a yes and no vote.
II. j. Milligan replied as follows to the
commissioners: Il beg to say that | am
opposed to cutting down the courthouse
yard. because | think it would mar, if not
destroy. the architectural proportions of
the building. Whatever else may be said
about the courthouse (and much might be
said as to fits interior defects for the pur
pose for which il was builD the fact re-
mains that its exterior is magnificent. You
may visit the public buildings of the world
and come home and view the courthouse
from the corner of Delaware and Washing
ton streets and you will say that it COM
pareS favorably with anything you have
seen- We were possibly very foolish to go
into debt for so fine a building. but We
have IL and let us do rotning TO impair
its grandeur or destroy its beauty. In my
opinion IL would be a great mistake TO
