The tendency to worry is a
matter of sonalidiosyncracy,
and is not easily accounted for
on scientific grounds. Some peo-
pie worry about nothing, and
some let nothing worry them.
No doubt the condition of the
latter is the more enviable; but
it is not always to be attained
by striving. You meet one man
who has most things that would
make him happy-wealth, social
position, domestic ties, congen-
ial occupation; and you find him
gloomy, depressed, unappeasa-
BILE, prey to perpetual low spir-
it's. Another, who has real sor-
rows enough to crush him to the
earth, is comparatively cheer
full. Perhaps, it may be said,
so far as any general axiom can
be ventured, that those who
have known real trouble are less
inclined to worry than those
whose experiences have been, on
the whole, fortunate and easy.

A Warm Essay.

In a country school not far
from Pierceton literary exer-
cises are indulged in every Fri
day afternoon during the term.
Last Friday afternoon a twelve
year-old boy read an original
essayon '"The Newspaper. The
teacher considered the essay an
especially fine production and
requested it's publication in this
paper. We publish the essay
under protest, as an investlga
tion reveals the fact that the
Pierceton Record is the only pa
per that ever enters the home OF
the writer. This latter day
Youthful Solomon treats his sub
ject thusly:
Newspapers are sheets of
paper on which stuff to read is
printed. The men look over
them to see if their name is in
it, and the women use it to put
on shelves and sich. I don t
know how newspapers came into
the world. [ don't think God
does. The Bible says nothing
about editors and I never heard
of one being in heaven. I guess
the editor is the missing link
them fellers talk about. The
first | ever heard of was the fell
ler who wrote up the flood. He
has been here ever since.
"Some editors belong to a
church and some try to raise
whiskers. All of them raise hell
in their neighborhood and all of
them are liars, at least all of
them know, and I only know
one. Editors never die. AT
least I never saw dead one.
Sometimes the paper dies and
then people feel glad, but some
one else starts it up again. Edi-
tors never went to school, be-
cause editors never got licked.
Our paper is a mighty poor one,
but we take it so ma can use it
on our pantry shelves. Our edi-
tor don't amount to much, but
paw says he had poor chance
when he was boy. He goes
without underclothes in winter,
wears no socks and has a wife
to support him. Paw hasn t
paid his subscription in five
years and don't intend to."-
