When starting for the river, says a
writer in London Field, IL you have to
turn back and get something that you
have forgotten, you are sure to catch
little or nothing that day. This is an
article of Devon folklore, and l am in
clined to think the west country folk
right herein. The disappointment,
the hurry and the bringing of wrong
things always act prejudicially upon
what out to be the unrufHed.
even temper of a successful angler. He
becomes hasty and rash, most often
with i'll results to his basket.
In the western highlands 1t is cur

was on particularly intimate terms
with the chief. called at his office and
was received With unusual cordiaiity.

president. You, Of all men in Wash
ington, car find out what action the
president will take, and 1 think you
know a way to prevent the document
being signed"
The correspondent replied, II think l
knowa way" He left the building and
went for Miss . who was at that
time doing Washington society for
the Associated Press. To her he told
the story and explained what he
wanted done.
Miss -- obtained an audience with
Mrs. Cleveland and told what she
came for. Mrs. Cleveland went to the
presidents desk and singled out a
paper with the remark, '"There, l guess
that is the n you mean" She then
turned a corner Of the document down
and left 1t.
In the course OF his work the presi-
dent came to the paper and then, in a
surprised tone, said to Secretary La

about this appointments"
Mr.. Lamont did not know anything
about it.
"Well." said the president, "Frances

His Wedding Fee.

A clergyman, speaking Of wedding
fees. said: "About a month ago a cou-
pie came to my church to get married
in accordance with arrangements made
with me. The church was opened and
lighted up brilliantly, and the organist
played the regulation marches. The
nuptial knot being tied, the smiling
groom approached me and placed a
spotless white envelope in my hands.
1t was heavy, and a touch showed that
it contained a coin. l concluded that
it was a $40 goldpiece. After the bridal
party had departed l opened the en-
velope. What do you suppose it con.
tained?' A silver quarter. l dropped
it in the poor boA."-Brooklyn Times.

Riley. Neat Copy.

James Whitcomb Riley wrote a long
poem for q New York newspaper. 1t
was ordered in advance and was to be
sent in upon a certain day. NOW, most
writer's, especially poets, are dilatory.
But the Hoosier bard is an exception
TO the rule. His poem arrived the day
it was promised. 1t came by express

outer wrappings of heavy brown pa

STRENGTH OF GIBRALTAR.
Its Overwhelming Eject Upon mn
American TOuriat. M

American Tourist.
There is 40 doubt that Gibraltar is,
from the nature of it's location, the
strongest fortified spot on EARTH" said
q recently returned tourist, "but the
English officers who are IN duty there
seem impressed with the idea that
there is some weak spot about the
place n that some American may
discover it. They have very NONSENSE
cal rules and regulations governing the
fertilization, and one of them is that
nc American can be admitted to the
fortified places, though they are al
lowed to wander all around the outside
as long as they care to.
II do not think the combined guns Of
the rest of the world, all working to-
gether and for y hours each day. Sun
days and public holidays included. for
II year, could seriously interfere with
Gibraltar beyond cutting off the mail
communication. The walls are solid
rock a quarter of a mile thick. and
such Il thing as doing any damage in
a military sense would be simply non
sense. Gibraltar could resist any at
tack, and the conditions there are such
that the attacking party would neces-
Sarily have to be exposed in making
it's attack. This exposure would have
to be within range of the guns of the
fort, wen if they are so years out of
date. Consequently they would be
nearly as effective as modern guns.
for with all that Is claimed for modern
warfare there probably never will be
any fighting done when the opposing
parties are u Of sight of each other.
while all this is admitted by mill
tary men of all countries. it seems
funny that there should be anything
of a secret or hidden character about
Gibraltar that Americans should not
be allowed to inspect as freely as the
people of other countries are. Eng
land may be whipped some time in the
history of the world. but the defeat
will not take place at Gibraltar. I as
sure you."-Washington Star.

WORRY,
The Common Enemy of Women. Can Bs
Made to Disappear.

The Common Enemy of Women. Can BA
Made to Disappear.
Worry is the most insidious enemy
we have, and though men are attacked
by it, women seem, from the condi-
lions of their life, to be its special vic
tins. 1t takes us unawares, like a
thief in the night. and we suddenly
awake to the fact that it has taken up
it's abode with US. 1t does not depart
sc readily. Sinbad's old man of the
sea was not harder to shake off; mean
while it is busy sapping u mental
and bodily vigor. 1t absorbs the
strength, it lessons the brain power,
attacks the digestion, weakens the eye
sight, turns the hair gray, and adds
many years to ones life in a few
weeks. Though we know all this, we
simply acquiesce; we are worried and
accept the fact. But what we fail to
realize about 1t is just tho simple fact
that the worry is in us; that we can
drive it away since IL is something
quite apart from the outside troubles
that cause this same deadly worry.
First of all, we should take ourselves
in hand, and that, too, pretty soon. A
woman we know was beginning to
give way to worry. Her business went
wrong, and she was full of gloomy
forebodings, when one day she reused
herself; she went to her doctor and
asked him for a tonic. In a few days
she began to find that matters were
not nearly so bad as she had thought.
Next she forced herself to cultivate a
hopeful attitude of mind, and before
a few weeks were past she was herself
again, and her business affairs had
ceased to weigh upon her mind. But
what we need is something that will
strengthen us against worry before it
comes. Some people are born with a
sanguine, CHEEKY temperament, Others
are not. These last should make it a
sacred duty to cultivate a tempera-
ment that will stand hrm and serene
before fortunes keenest arrows. We
can do it. If we say we cannot we
confess tina. we are not masters Of
self--a humiliating confession that
amounts to our charging ourselves
with abject cowardice.

RAISED A
The Young Mar Tried to Carry the
Small Boy.

The Young Man Tried to Carry the
Small Boy.
A more or less crowded Fourth ave-
nue. open a stopped a day or two ago
in the Bowery to pick up a family par
ty, consisting of a mother, father and
three small boys. the youngest OF whom
could not have been more than 4 years
old, and who was manifestly wearing
mis- first pair of knickerbockers, says
the New York Tribune. The party be-
came separated, the parents getting on
the rear seat and the small boys on n
four seats ahead. At first the littlest
one was attracted by the novelty of his
surroundings, but, this wearing off, he
missed his mother and looked about
for her. When he saw her on the rear
seat a disconsolate yell announced the
discovery. His two brothers tried to
pacify him, but to his young mind the
four seats that separated them were
an impossible gulf not to be bridged
by human means, and such being the
case he was not to be comforted. The
mother, leaning as far forward as she
could, endeavored to explain that she
would come to him as soon as the car
stopped, but the child only cried the
more. Every n on the car was by
this time interested and sympathy and
advice were freely offered. An athletic
young man in the seat behind the boy
started to pick him up, with a view to
passing him over the backs of the seats
to his mother. The boy shrank away
from him in deadly fear, sure that he
was the b~oy-eating ogre of childish
legend. and his cries raised themselves
to the pitch of a shrek. The young
man, lobster red. hastily sat down and
pretended a preternatural absorption in
an evening paper. Just then the father
and conductor came along the foot
board and between them carried the
child to his mothers arms. Quiet was
restored and the passengers interested
themselves in other things. but the attn
letic young man got on tie car at the
very next corner.
