Don't Worry.

Don't worry about something that
you think may happen tomorrow,
because you may die tonight, and
tomorrow will find you beyond the
reach of worry. Don't worry over
thing that happened yesterday,
because Yesterday is hundred years
away. If You don't believe it, just
try to reach after it and bring it
back. Don't worry about anything
that is happening to-day, because
to-day will last only l5 or 20 min
Iutes. Don't worry about things you
can't help, because worry only makes
them worse. Don't worry about
things you can help, because then
there's no need to worry. Don't
worry at all. If you want to be
penitent, now and then It won't hurt
you q bit; IL will do you good. But
worry worry, worry, fret, fret, fret
why, there's neither sorrow, penl.

What Is Adertisingp

+ lsas.
Hsk hundred men, "What is ad.
vertising2" and ninety-nine of them
will say that advertising is-adver'
tlsing..
Advertising,as I see it, is the
announcement Of anything by any
medium of presentation.
Advertising is eommodity--as
much SO as dry goods, shoes OF
-four.
Advertising is one of the five
links in the chain of business.
The advertising that does not pay
is almost always the advertising
that has not been given chance te
pay.
The average user of advertising
writes the advertisement with
blunt pencil upon pad of paper
upon bis knee, or quickly scribble'
of his name and address, land some
thing else--upon a pad on his desk
He pays good money for adver
using space.
He fills that expensive plac'
with the careless thought of min
ute.
II is estimated that the worlt
spends s2,000,000 600 q year on ad
vertising.
An intelligent estimate has no
been able to assume that this sam
business world pays out more thai
one.two thousandth Of this total eS
penditure for The preparation oft
advertising matter.
If advertising is worth anythinl
..-and every successful business ma
saws that 1t is---then some car
should be given TO Its preparation
inst as much as to the management
Of any other part Of business

THE NAVAL POLICY.
House Committee Fayors Extension of
the Navy, hut Is for Econ
ony mt Present,

Washington, Feb.22.-The report of Chair
man Boutelle, of the house committee on
naval affairs. on the naval appropriation
bill, explains the policy adopted by the
committee on the cost of armor plate. 1t
covers the entire ground heretofore gone
over by Secretary Herbert and says the
committee regards the secretary's report
as an estimate. The reasons heretofore
given for not fixing the price of armor or
providing for an armor plate plant are set
forth.
Referring TO the new navy, Mr.. Boutelle
says:
:The committee is unanimous in the de-
sire to push forward the construction of
our full quota of batt1eships and other
needed vessels for naval defense and the
protection of the national rights and honor
as rapidly possible, but. in view of the
present condition of the national finances
and other important considerations, has re-
luctantly refrained from recommending the
authorizing of any new vessels in this BILL
believing that such recognition of the pub
even more liberal renewal Of the work of
building up our new navy as one of the
greatest features of restoration of ma
tional prosperity in the near future"
The report shows that the bill carries
$32 165, ,23i, an increase over last year of ST.
612 5I3, and a reduction from the estimates
of the department of S2,050, 702. Most of the
increases in amount over last year are in
volved in the expenses incident to the
building of the new navy.

SNUBs THE MINORITY.
SPEAKER strect Never Calls a Renub-
iican TO Preside I'm indommit-
: Tee of the whoIe. 4 A.

Topeka, Kas.. Feb. 22-CSpeciai.1 Speaker
Street, OF the house of representatives has
shown his small caifBet as legislator by
his refusal TO cali any members of the
house minority to the chair in the commit
tee of the whole. IL has always been the
custom OF the presiding officer TO treat the
minority courteoGsix in 'tliis matter. When
p. p. Elder was speaker. he o1tef called
Republican TO the ehair.i George Douglass
was usually his favorite. Two years ago,
Speaker LobdeH frequently honored the
minority by asking one, of it's number to
preside over the committee. Brown, of
Pratt. and Barkley, Of Elk. two of the
most prominent Populists of that session
rs well as this, actedShs cflairmen several
times. But so far Street has totally ig-
nored the minority. He certainly cannot
offer as an excuse that the minority has
10 members competent. for. it frequently
happens that LobdeII.. Qubbison Lambert
or some of the other various parliamentary
ans ON the Republican side have to
Etraightcn him out in his rulings There are
only two reasons which can be given. One
is that he is ignorant OF parliamentary
. courtesy. and the other that he wants 10
keep the Populists Of the house In ignOr-
ancc Of how smoothly things can run when
n Republican occupies the chair The Re.
pubiicans are not worried over the slight
offered by Street. They don't care But
the affair Is causing some talk among tho
old Populist members, who remember how
courteously they were treated two years
ago.
