There seems TO be an infinite variety
OF opinion as to what constitutes real
trouble. One man ioses all interest IN
life under burden that another man
will trot of with as though he was on
the way to a picnic One man throws of
load of care or sorrow or disappoin:-
ment while another man let's much less
kill him.
Many years ago a German moved with
his wife to western Cass county. He
bought more:land when it was cheap, and
being thrifty year after year added to
his possessions until he had several
hundred acres OF land and had accumu-
lated good deal Of stock. In time he
h ad quite little money loaned out to
his neighbors Was moderately wealthy
owed nothing and was beyond the reach
OF want.
One day while sitting with his wife at
home word came to them that man who
owed them a note OF moderate amount
had run away. The old lady gave a
shrek and fell over on tine floor in a
swoon. She was put upon couch and
a doctor called, but she died that night
A year or two later a neighbor who
was financially safe came to the farmer
end told him that owing TO the failure
in crops he could only pay the interest
on his note and would need to postpone
payment Of the principle for year. The
old gentleman was much distressed and
sat long into the night broodipg over the
news. The next morning the neigh
bors found his dead body hanging to a
rafter OF his barn.

Of Mason County. Miss Jessie Acker-

Shelton together and hold meetings in

Miss Alderman is we1l-known as
the "Round-the-world missionary" of

is one of the National Organizers of
the W. c. 7. o.; two years ago she was
elected state president of Miss. but re-
signed to make an extended tour of
England, France, Germany and Italy.
She will lecture Thursday evening.
The Daily Messenger, of Owensboro,
KY says: Miss Kearney, a most
charming speaker and typical South
ern girl spoke to the ladies in the even
ing. The audience was a large and
interested one, and was fully under the
witchery of her magic words.
No admission will be charged to hear
these grand women, and it is hoped
they will have crowded houses.

little early yet, but the fishing is get.
ting better. By the way, few fisher
men know that the genuine Eastern
sucker is in most of our lakes. We
caught one at Lake Isabella the other
day by casting the flies over a school
of these fish which was feeding near
the surface and after letting the line
sink far enough, drawing it through
the school. Thesncker is a dispised
fish which is rarely eaten in this coun-
try of splendid trout, but nothing is
the matter with them but the bones.
