Children May Die from Exposure.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WINCHESTER, Ind, March 6. Word
reached here to-day of the burning of the
house and all its contents owned by
Charles Brown. living seven miles south
east of this city. The fire originated from
a defective fiue and caused a loss Of about
81 ZOO, with but a small insurance on the
house. At the time of the fire three of
Mr.. Browns children were very sick with
pneumonia, and it was with the greatest
difficulty that they were saved. A high
wind was blowing, and 1t was bitterly cold.
Under these unfavorable circumstances the
children had to be moved about a mile.
This morning it is said that two of them
cannot survive the shock and exposure
and the third may die.

CLARK COUNTY MYSTERY.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, March G.
Robert c.. Shrader, a ~well-known young
man of this county, disappeared Monday
evening. and the fact that he had 81, 500 in
his pockets at the time has led his rela-
tives to believe that he has met with foul
play. Shrader lived with an aunt near
Utica and only a few days ago became of
age. Monday he came to the city and drew
81, 500 from his guardian, Attorney H. A.
Burt, who is also his uncle. He intended
leaving Tuesday for Rockford, ILL.,, where
he was going into the shoe business, and
late Monday afternoon hired a horse and
buggy and started back home to bid his
relatives goodbye and to spend the night.
On Tuesday morning the rig was found
near the city and later a bloody buggy
robe was found on the pike. The robe has
been identified by the liveryman as the one
that was in his buggy when he rented 1T to
Shrader. The police are working on the

Do Not Worry.

The word worry comes from an old
English word, which means to stran-
gle. 1t is a disposition which, if in
dulged in, will strangle our peace and
happiness and our spiritual life. Most
of the worry of this world is extremely
foolish, for it is usually over things
that never occur, and most people can
look back and ridicule themselves over
their needless anxieties. God takes
care of His creatures, the birds and
lilies; of course He viii of us.
AS cure for worry some have laid
down this old rule: Do not worry
about the things that you cannot help.
for it will do no good. Do not worry
about the things you can help, for you
are wasting time that might be spent
in doing them. But these are semi
worldly maxims. A better rule is to
give yourself up to God and ask Him
to kill the old self life out of your
heart and give you a clean heart Get
the blessing of pure heart, and then
your doubts will be gone, and you can
trust God to take care of you and be-
lieye that all He does is for the best

(Bensons Plaster Is Pains MASTERY

These are days of records and of the beat
ing of records. Benson's Porous Plaster, for
auickness of action and thoroughness of
cure, has no records to beat except its own.
Benson's Plaster, always the best, always
the leader, is to-day better than erer. 1t
sticks to the skin but never sticks in its
tracks. 1t marches on.
The people not only want to be cured
but cured guickly-and Benson's Plaster
does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago. asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills approachable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as ice does TO heat.
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or
Capsicum plasters are to be compared with
Bensons. People who have once tested
the merits of Benson's Plaster have no use
for any other external remedy.
More than 5000 physicians and drug
gists land thousand times as many nom
professional persons) have called Benson's
Plasters one of the few % home remedies
that can be trusted.
Fifty-fye highest awards have been made
to it in competition with the best known
plasters of Europe and America. Better
proof of its merits is uncomfortable. Be
sure to get the genuine.

LIES HARMONY.


They tell US that in Piza's old cathedral,
All noises harsh and loud
Grating of ponderous doors, shrill tones, the
tramping
And murmur of the crowd
Are caught up, softened, harmonized and
blended.
Within the lofty dome,
Then echoed back in one great wave of music
Sweet as dream of home.
So all the harsh notes In life's mingled music,
The burden and the woe,
The stroke that almost snaps the quivering
heart-strings,
The loss that grieves us So
In heavens o'er-arching dome of perfect wis
dom,
Power and love shall be
Gathered and blended in divinest marvel
