WORRY TRAT KILLS.

Don't worry, says wiseacre who
thinks it can be avoided. Don't
worry about something you think
may happen tomorrow, because you
may die tonight, and tomorrow
will find you beyond the reach of
worry. Don't worry over a 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 today, for today will
only last fifteen or twenty minutes.
If you don't believe it tell your
creditors you'll be ready to settle in
full with them at sunset.
Don't worry about things you
can't help, because worry only
makes them worse. Don't worry
about things you can help, because
there's no need to worry. Don't
worry at all. If you want to be a
penitent now and then, it won't
hurt you to 90 into the sackcloth
and ashes business a little. If you
want to cry little once In a long
while, it isn't bad thing. If you
feel like going out and clubbing
yourself occasionally, l think you
need it, and l will lend you help
ing hand at it, and put a plaster on
you afterwards. All these things
will do you good. But worry,
worry, worry, fret, fret, fret-why,
there's neither sorrow, penitence,
strength penance reformation, hope
nor resolution in it, It's simply
Worry.-London News.

"I can't see how any family lives
without Chamberlain's Colic, Cho-
lera and Diarrhoea Remedy" says
j. r.. Adams, a well known druggist,
Of Geneva, Ala, in a letter inquir
ing the price Of dozen bottles, that
he might not only have it for use in
his own family, but supply It to his
neighbors. The reason some people
get along without it, is because they
do not know its value, and what a
vast amountof suffering it will save.
Wherever it becomes known and
used it is recognized as a necessity,
for 1t is only remedy that can always
be depended upon for bewel COM

At the Union Depot few minutes
before midnight on Tuesday Officer
Rouss Lanam arrested a rather good
looking woman, on complaint of Will
liam Kauf,I who alleged that she had
broken window at the Klondike
Saloon, on Third street. Just before
being taken into custody the woman
came to the depot with an unknown
man, who deserted her when she got
into trouble. She evidently intended
to take the 1850 train, but met Kauf at
the depot and while quarreling with
him over the affair the train pulled out
and left her.
She gave her name as Mrs. Ford, and
her residence Charles street, stating
that she did not know the wherea bouts
OF her husband. She says she was in
the Klondike saloon aud wanted tu
leave, but that Kauf tried to detain
her and in the scuffie that ensued the
window was broken. She will prot
ably have hearing before the Mayor
