Bread and Butter Worries.

Those who are born rich are saved from
that incessant bread-and-butter worry that
tries the souls of mankind. Comparatively
few of us, however, are exempt from the wor-
ries that haunt the daily life struggle, and in
consequence the most useful lives are gener-
ally the ones marked for nervous collapse.
We cannot give up, our families must be pro-
v1ded 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, land multitudes of half
broken men and women surround us. They
have consulted their doctors without securing
aid, and they work along as we'll as they can
in an aimless sort of way that seems to be
without hope of relief. All of such worn-out,
spiritless people can be cured and put quickly
on their feet by DIR. Greene, the great special
list, of "a Temple Place, Boston, discoverer
of the world-famed Nervura, and many other

PUTNEY.

Monday was the Goth anniversary of the
birth of Norman Cobb OF Putney and the
event was celebrated by family reunion at
Mr.. Cobh's home in Putney Falls, where he
has lived more than 70 years. A feature Of
the occasion was the presence of Mr.. Cobb
six sons, Norman, Alphonso and Marshall of
Putney Falls, Daniel of Brattleboro, Quincy
of Townshend and Hollis of North Adams.
Mr.. Cobb, who is brother of Alfred and
Albion Cobb of Springfield, Mass was born
of revolutionary ancestors in Coventry The
first dwelling house in Coventry was built by
his grandfather, Samuel Cobb, and was made
of spruce logs hewn only on the inside. Mr..
Cohb's father was lieutenant in the war of
1872 and WIS stationed, with a corps of So
diers, at Derby Line, between Vermont and
Canada, to guard against hostile approaches.
Betsey, sister of Norman Cobb, was the
first child horn in Coventry and she, as well
as the other members of the family, was re-
nowned for her marvellous muscular powers,
often performing feats of strength which it
would be difficult for two ordinary men to ac-
complish. Mr.. Cobb's wife, whom every one
called "Grandma," died five years ago, and
her death is the only one that has occurred in
the family.

majority. The history of the Beers is
one-third war against England, one
third war with negroes, and one-third
civil war. So natural is it that the
Boer should take up arms against his
own government that in past years tho
penalty for technical treason has been
about the same as that for stealing a
