It is amazing how little value most
theories have when you come to put
them into actual practical use. Just
at present there is kind of reaction
and protest against the unrest and
dissatisfaction of the world, and we
are continually advised, whatever else
we do, not to worry. Don't worry"
clubs shave been formed in many places,
and there is an honest effort to 'estab-
lish kind of American Nirvana,
where we shnn't worry any more
about our own affairs or those of our
neighbors. The chief apostles of this
interesting movement are people of
unimpaired digestions and good in
comes, who write entertaining books
about the folly of troubling about the
future. AS u theory, observes n keen
philosopher, not worrying is a peach.
We are all willing to admit that it is
foolish to worry about what we can
help or what we can't help; but then
there is the unassailable fact that the
people who never worry never accom-
pish anything. Contentment is an adj
mirable virtue, but an oversupply of it
viii land man in the poorhouse. The
absolutely contented man sits down
and let's well enough alone. The dis
satisfied man gets out and hustles and
pushes things along. The ideal of per-
feet content with to-day, with no wor-
rying about the wants or needs OF to-
morrow, is beautiful one. We have
all known families who practiced ib
all summer during watermelon time,
and whom we supported all winter
during the flannel and coal season. AS
matter of fact, it is The don't worry
clubs that are stumbling blocks to
progress everywhere. 1t is the people
who don't worry about their chill
dren's education who fill up the coun-
zens. 1t is the people who don't worry
about sickness who spread contagious
diseases. 1t is people who don't worry
about the future who spend every cent
they make as they go along, who be-
come burdens on the friends who have
to take care of them when they lose a
job or get sick. But the heart that
feels no grief but its own, shat never
aches but with its own pain, the eye
that is never dimmed with tear for
sorrow not its own, knows only half
of life. 1t is case-hardened, petrified,
impenetrable selfshness that never
worries about other peoples affairs.
The truth is that man was made to
worry, and he would be miserable if he
couldn't. The example of the placid
clam and the untroubled oyster, who
shut themselves up in their own shells
and don't worry about anything out
side, will never seem to him to be the
highest type of usefulness or happi-
ness. The don't worry theory don't
work. The man who never worries

Mrs. Augustus Thistlewood, of Prov
idence, r. l., has been married six
times. At her last wedding four Of
her former husbands were present and
acted as ushers. The fifth sent his re-
grets and present, and an invitation
to the bride and groom to spend the
honeymoon at his house. The average
term of servitude for these husbands
was ten months; all the divorces were
granted upon the application of the
lady without opposition. The dissolu-
tion of matrimonial ties has been due
to the tact and diplomacy of the lady,
who convinced her several spouses that
they were mismated.

When Gen. Lee received at Jackson
willie, Fla, a telegram from the adj
jutant general at Washington an
nouncing that peace had been declared,
he wired in reply: Thank you;
will at once order the Seventh corps
TO cease firing" The general was at
least facetious, even if not sarcastic,
as Jacksonville is about the nearest
that any of the regiments of his COM
mand have got to Cuba. The Seventh
will probably get an opportunity to
go there to do garrison duty, however,
but this is not particularly pleasant
thought to good many, who would
prefer to return home, saying they
did not enlist for pence duty, but
rather to fight for their country, and,
opportunities for that being over, they
no longer have any desire to serve.
