Worry wears out more people than
work does, and fretting causes more
unhappiness in families than either
sickness or poverty" writes Mrs. Mo-
ses p. Handy in the October Woman's
Home Companion. Indeed, the secret
of happiness may almost be said TO be
making the best of everything, and
good humor under all circumstances
the most useful virtue which man. and
more especially woman, can possess.
There are good women who to-day
would peril life and limb for husband
and children, yet who daily render
their dear ones uncomfortable by 60
ing forth to meet trouble half way,
and by grieving over that which is
past and irremediable. If thing can
be helped by any effort OF yours, go
to work promptly and help it; If not,
waste no time in vain repining. When
your husband has made mistake in
business and times are hard do not
wall over the mistake. Gather up the
fragments and stand by to help him.
If you can do nothing else you can st
least pretend that you do not mind;
can show him that you believe in him
still, and prophesy that better times
are coming. Nothing so chills mans
courage as the damp spray of wife's
tears Did you never try to run your
sewing machine without oil? Don't
you know how the surfaces grind upon
each other, and how hard the work
is? Well, just as one hour of that
scraping will injure the machinery
more than a whole days use would ii
properly oiled, just so one days wor-
ry will dig more wrinkles in your face
and sprinkle more gray in your hair
than will months of patient, trusting
labor Worrying is an essentially fem
mime failing, and there are women who
do it in spite of themselves. If you
chance to be such one, fret all to
yourself in the privacy of your cham
Der, provided you have any privacy.
But under any circumstances do not
empty YOUR basin of cold water-or
worse, your bottle of tears-over the
sitting room fire."

Speaking the Hasty Word.


To rule ones spirit as concerns the
speaking Of hasty words pays. We
know no culture that pays as we'll in a
harvest capable not only of being en-
joyed at the time of reaping, but, as
well, in retrospect, as often as mem
DRY brings it again to the front. 1t Is
not while young that we realize this.
but when the sun of life has crept to-
ward the further horizon, and the
shadows lengthen and our feet, slip
ping forward, tell us we are on the
downhill side, then is it that our ap-
probation of all these things expands
and widens until, gazing, we are led
to wonder at the slight estimate we
once placed upon them. 1t is when
such things as these are thought of
early, and SO taken into the heart when
the wood and fibre are young as to
grow we'll nigh part Of it, that lives
become subnmely beautiful, to such a
degree as to awaken our admiration
and respect. A life gone back and
marked over"-as some of us used to
our names in early childhood when
the shaded lines were not made to
stand out clear enough to suit us-al-
ways, to the careful eye, looks rough
and patched. The true way is to put
the strong marks as we go along; then
shall they be part of the whole and
add true beauty to the character we
spread out day by day for the ones
back Of us to contemplate.

Confidence in God.

The one lesson which we need to
learn above everything else is to have
complete confidence in God. This leads
us to the center Of things, brings us
into alliance with the plan of God,
saves us from being overwhelmed by
mysteries which we cannot, but which
he does, understand, and prevents us
from being discouraged by the muta-
tions, accidents and Affections of life.
The keynote of the Psalms is conf
dence in God, and the same might be
said of all Scripture. Confidence in
God will add much to the happiness OF
life. 1t will make us calm in the midst
of trouble. 1t was this that enabled
Paul to stand calmly on the deck OF
that hulk which was being driven up
and down in Adria, and say to his COM
panions in peril, because the angel OF
God had assured him of Gods presence
and protection, Wherefore, sirs, be OF
good cheer; for | believe God, that 1t
shall be even as it was told me-" 1t
will give us joy, for our JOY will be in
God, not in the circumstances OF the
moment. 1t will give us success, for
we will not try to work in our own
strength, but will let God work
through us. 1t will give us heaven on
earth, for foretaste of heaven comes
to him who trusts in the Lord with all
his heart and leans not on his own

WRITING HIS MESSAGE.

Nearly All Presidents Spare Time.

Preparing the Document Occupies
Nearly All Presidents Spare Time.
Washington, Nov 2O-The secretary
of war spent over two hours with the
president today, discussing his annual
report, on which report will be based
some of the most important sections of
the presidents message to congress. It
is understood that this section of the
message will be held open as long as
possible awaiting developments in the
Philippines, which may change the
status of the situation almost any day.
The other sections of the message are
nearly completed, but to finish the
message before congress meets will
call for a large amount of hard work.
Owing to this fact it is probable that
the president will not be able to go to
Nashville to participate in the welcome
home of the Tennessee regiment.
No definite determination has been
made, however. If the trip is under
taken it will be made in the briefest
practicable time. There were num-
Der of callers at the White House to-
day. Senator Plat Joined the pres
ident during the latter's morning walk,
and came to the White House with
him. Secretary Long called to pay his
respects on his return from the west
With him was Senator Lodge, who
had long visit with the president.

THE REAL david HARUM,"
Dave" HANNUM OF HOMER, N. Y.

Edward Noyes Westcott has done for
Homer, a little village of central New
York, what others have done for New
England, Kentucky and the south.
Within the narrow confines of its rural
surroundings he found one of the most
characteristic types, from childhood to
old age, in American fiction. Mr..
Westcott embellished this type with a
master hand, but when Homer first
read David Harum" it recognized I'M
derneath the literary paint with which
the original of the hero had been re-
touched, the rugged, wide-awake,
homely countenance Of David Han
mum, who had been a character in a
town of quaint, long headed, dryly hu-
morous characters up to few years
aga. 1t was Homer's first literary sem
sation, and it was no nine days Won
der in the little town. The good people
are wondering even yet that one OF
their number should get into print.
Il don't see why this here Westcott
picked out David Hannum to put in
book" said one old resident to me the
other day This town had a heap sight
bigger men than ever Dave Hannum

have picked out some fellers as those.
Dave wuz an ordinary kind Of amusin'
cuss but he never done anythin'
much, and he died poorer an a church
mouse"
Nevertheless Homer is full of stories
of Dave" Hannum, banker and horse
dealer, droll, shrewd, sharp yet tend
era character they love to talk about.
He always had supply of "hoss
swapping" stories, and would rather
trade horses and make 5000 than make
$1,000 in business operation. He be-
gan and died without a cent in the
world, made a fortune and died with
no more money than he began with.
Next to being a horse trader, Dave"
perhaps would rather have been a

THE LAST DIVIDEND.
Jernegan Share Holders
Now Have All They
Will Get.

Boston, Nov, 2O.-It is announced that
final dividend of per cent will be
paid to the stockholders of the Elec-
trolytic Marine Salts Company on Dec
4. This winds up the concern so far
as the committee appointed to take
charge of the settlement of its affairs is
concerned. The total amount paid in
dividends is 26 per cent on a capital of
nearly million.
The Electrolytic Marine Salts Com
pany was organized by Rev. P. F. Jer-
negan for the purpose of extraction OF
gold from sea water. A large plant
was erected at Lubec, Me. Before this
had been completed, the promoter was
missed and it was found the funds had
disappeared. 1t was believed that Jer-
negan went to Europe. Several months
ago the committee in charge of the
affairs of the company received $4,000
from the missing manager, and this
sum was distributed in dividends.

WHITES BRAVERY.
Commander at Ladysmith Wearer of
the Victoria Cross.

Commander at Ladysmith Wearer of
the Victoria Cross.
Lord Ripon, speaking few days ago,
described General White as the bray
est of the brave" When he used that
language-in which all who know Sir
George White intimately will concur
he was, probably, recalling an incident
that occurred when he was viceroy, and
the colonel, as he then was, acted as
his military secretary. There was to
be fighting on the Afghan frontier, and
Colonel White asked permission to go
to the front. Lord Ripon demurred,
on the ground that he could not spare
so able an adviser. But Colonel White
clinched the matter by putting a ques-
ton. What" he asked, will be said
if my regiment is cut to pieces and
am not with it?" Lord Ripon yielded
Colonel White rode almost day and
night till he Joined his regiment; those
who saw his welcome by the men say
it was a scene never to be forgotten.
1t was soon afterward that he won
the Victoria cross. He did so with
splendid bravery allied to the finest
spirit of leadership. At the end of a
heavy march the regiment, about to biv-
ouac, found that the Afghan guns dom
mated them at close range. Colonel
White gave the order to charge.
The men were physically unfit; they
were utterly worn out but their COM
mander knew that the effort must be
made He gave the order three times;
the men only looked at him helpless
ly. He gave the order again and rode
off alone, trusting to the regiment to
follow. He went right up to the guns;
the men, seeing him daring so much,
We're inspirited; they went after their
leader, and the guns were taken. 1t
was the same acute perception of the
chances of a battlefield that first gave
him his chance. He did not mount the
ladder of promotion rapidly.-Birming-

that he had received information
charging Mrs. Bamberger with respon-
sibility for the death of young woman
whose case is not included in this list.
He declared that he was also in pos
