Worry.
Youths Companion.

Youths Companion.
We often hear of men who are said
to have died of overwork, but it is safe
to assume that in nine out of ten of
such cases there had been no overwork
at all. That too much work has killed
some people is not to be doubted, but
this does not alter the fact that work
pure and simple Is one of the rarest of
all rare causes of death. The mischief
is done by the worry which often goes
with the work, and which Is mistaken
for it.
We do not yet understand the process
by which worry undermlnes the general
health, induces disease of the:heart, of
the arteries and of the kidneys, or kills
man before his time but that it does
do such things is fact only too we'll
established.
1t is true that worry often leads a
person to practices which are them
selves injurious, such as overindulgence
in alchol or tobacco, or perhaps the use
of opium or cocain or choral and dis
ease and death are often attributable to
the action of these po:sons rather than
| to the effects of work or worry. But
these will not explain the disaster in
all cases.
It may be objected dispairingly that,
if worry is slow suicide, then almost
none of us can escape. Very few men
can be found who have no nnfulfilled
desires which they are striving to graf
ify, or who are So absolutely secure OF
the future that they may give literal
heed to the Biblical command to take
no thought of the morrow.
| But this torethougt is not worry at
least it need not be worry 1t Is merely
lncertitude, prudent care for the future,
or even slight anxiety. Harassing an
xiety, impatient expectation, dispro-
portionate fear of the unknown-thfsi is
worry, and this is what causes the heart
to struggle, the kidneys to contract, the
arteries to weaken, and the mind tc
fail.
No one who Is not given to worry
can conceive of the power which the
habit gains over its victim. Such 8
one will freely admit the excellence Of
the advice not to worry, but he will
add that it is impossible to follow it.
This is true only in measure, and in a
few cases. Barring instances of ex
ceptional trouble, of extraordinary
"hard luck" almost evey one can by
resolute determination reduce his worry
within living limits.

To KEEP OFF THE GRIP.

Some people imagine there's no use
trying to keep off grip, but the only
people who are peculiarly liable to grip
are those whose systems are run down.
If you have built up your system for
the winter, all you will need is to take
proper care Of yourself; but if your
blood is thin or impure the thing to
do ia to take several bottles of David,s

There seems to be nothing more
certain than the surmise of Jerry j in
Friday evenings Journal to the effect
that Tams Bixby's opposition to Gov.
Clough and Capt. VanSant is due
wholly to the fact that Clough refused
to stand by the old machine and sup
port Bixby for Governor. Tams claims
that VanSant's candidacy is for the
purpose of defeating Davis for United
States Senator. If such is the case it
will have to come from more reliable
sources than Mr.. Bixby who has always
been closely allied with the men who
have opposed Davis, and who came
with in one of defeating the Senator
five years ago. And the more vehem-
ent the Red Wing Republican and st,
Paul Dispatch oppose VanSant the
more certain it is that they are secret
ly laying the plans to perpetuate the
old machine and bring about the de-
feat of Davis in 1899.

Washington gossip has it that John
Sherman, by reason of old age, is I'M
able to longer continue as secretary
of State, and that Senator Cushman K.
Davis of Minnesota, will probably be
called to the secretaryship, in case
Sherman resigns. A well-known Wash
ington friend of The GAZETTE writes
that Davis is practically secretary OF
State at the present time, and that he
is frequently called, during the mid
night hours, to the White House, to
confer with President Mckinley, on
some important foreign subject.

A Carlist organ at Madrid says that
there is no doubt whatever but what
the loss of the Maine was due to lack
OF discipline, and then contends that
a United States cruiser, recently at
Venice. had a crew that were rather
pirates than sailors. Of course, it is
more preferable to have piratical
sailors than it is assassins, and the like,
but in case the Carlist organ spoke
the truth in any manner, when utter
ing it's passionate words, these same
pirates will mske very good fighters in
case war is declared with Spain.

There is no longer doubt but what
the destruction of the United States
warship, Maine, in the Havana harbor,
and the loss of over 265 braye sailors
of that ship by reason of the explosion
that destroyed the vessel, was the
work of Spanish treacherv.
The latest developments showed
that the Maine was placed over mine
by the Spanish authorities in charge
of the harbor, and that some one in
charge of the electric connections at
the arsenal in Havana touched the but
ton that sent the electric spark to the
mine, and blew up battleship cost

Capt. Sigsbee of the destroyed
Maine was a true American when he
advised Americans to suspend judg-
meat until an investigation had been
made into the explosion that destroyed
his ship. But when the result of that
explosion becomes known the sus-

patriotism that the government at
Washington will have to take cogniz-
ance of.

lola CONVICTED.

The jury in the case OF France VS..
lola, wherein the latter was charged
with libeling the French army in con-
nection with having written and
caused to be published letter de-
nouncing the conviction of Dreyfus on
secret evidence, returned a verdict of
guilty last Wednesday evening. The
case went to the jury at about eight
o'clock, and the jury remained out
Just twenty minutes before returning
verdict.
lola was sentenced to one years i'm
prisonment and to pay fine of 5000
francs.
The conviction is one of the grossest
miscarriages of justice that has ever
occurred in France or in Republic.
lola has proved his charges squarely
and fairly, despite the fact that the
French courts and government did all
in their power to prevent him from
getting in certain evidence. But the
Paris rabble that condemns to-day

WHEN THE MACHINE BREAKS.

WHEN HE mhVnINc bAEAkS.
Our esteemed Red Wing contemp-
orary, the Republican, controlled by
the Hon. Tams Bixby, announces that
it is not muzzled, in it's last issue. The
announcement is followed by the state
ments pertaining to Capt. VanSant.
William 81. Eustis and Loren w. Col
Inns. To the two latter gentlemen, as
probable candidates for the Republi-
can nomination for Governor, the Re-
publican makes no exception, and
thinks that either would make good
candidate. OF Capt. VanSant it has
the following:
The combination to elect Capt. VanSant as
governor, with Gov Clough as its head. is no
secret of state 1t has been announced with
boldness uncommon to political maneuvers
and is public property. 1t would be strange
indeed, if the Republicans of Minnesota were
not interested in an arrangement so novel,
The GAZETTE does not pretend to
know whether Capt. VanSant is the
candidate of any combine, or whether
he is not. But it firmly believes that
Capt. VanSant is mol, land that the only
combination in his favor is a majority
of the people. 1t is surprising to hear
our own Tams talk the way he does in
the above, however. For many years
Tams has been one of the strongest
machine men in the State, and his
paper has always advocated his ma
chine. But of late the machine, with
Tams and w. R. Merriam and others
as the guiding stars, have drifted away
from the Republican people of the
State, and the fact that Gov. Clough
was wise enough to see the drift, and
break away from the old wreck
and has come out in support of Capt
VanSant, is no reason why the Repub-
lican should say that the machine is
supporting the Winona gentleman.
Tams has an ambition of his own
He wanted and wants to be Governor
of Minnesota, and he wanted some Of
the State officials to support him, ir
preference to VanSant. The fact thai
they refused, and broke away from the
machine over which Mr.. Bixby haI
presided with more or less sway fol
many years, has undoubtedly caused
Tams to come out, like other machine
Republican papers, and declare thai
the people ought to have something
to say about the Republican nomina
ton for Governor.
What Tams says in his sly jestins
manner, The GAZETTE firmly advocate
and believes. 1t is certain that tn
people will haye something to sa.
about the nomination, and that the,
will see to it that S. r. VanSant leads
them to victory in the election of mex
November.
