WORRY IS IMPROBABLE.
Victim Of the Strength Necessary
for His Life Work.

There is nothing so foolish and un-
profitable as a habit of worrying. 1t
destroys nervous energy and robs us
OF strength necessary for the real
work of life. It makes existence q
burden and WEAKNESS, instead of a
joy and blessing. Poise and serenity
are necessary to true success. The
man who worries is never self-cen-
tered, never perfectly balanced,
never at his best; for every moment
of mental anxiety takes away vital
ity and push, and robs him of man
hood and power.
Worrying indicates a lack of con-
fidence in our strength; it shows
that we are unbalanced. The man
who does not worry, who believes in
himself, touches the wires of infinite
power.
The habit of worry is largely q
physical inflrmity; it is an evidence
of lack of harmony in the intern al
system. The well-poised soul, the
self-centered man, never wabbles or
hesitates. Enough vital energy has
been wasted in useless worry to run
all the affairs of the world. -Bap tist

Because your ancestors were on OPP
posite sides at Cromwell's invasion
of Ireland"
Mr.. Kelly and Mr.. Gould regarded
that explanation of their perpetual
disputes as frivolous. Their disputes
were about ethics of banking, about
stock speculation and railways.
The courts have hardly ceased to
be preoccupied by them, says the
New York Journal. Mr.. Kelly was a
devout Catholic, Mr.. Gould Presby-
terrain. Mr.. Kelly opposed his sons
marriage with Protestant.
1t happened in 1882 and was kept
secret from him until 1893. But then
he was not displeased. He loved his
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Edward J..
Kelly.
Her husband died in July. He was
commodore of the New York Ro-
chelle Yacht club, owner of the steam
yacht Barracuda, and gave festivals
there. which had great charm of
unaffected cordially.
His death happened while he was
making preparations to entertain
Rear Admiral Schley. His daughter
is II; Frank J. Gould is "a years of
age. She was educated in convent.
Mr.. Gould was always under the guild
ance of his sister, Miss Helen Gould.
Mrs. Kelly and Miss Gould are
friends, and were in the completely
of the love for each other of Miss
Kelly and Mr.. Gould. She has the ap-
probation of art and of books that
Frank j. Gould has not.
Miss Kelly knows as we'll as her
uncles, if not better than they, the
beautiful books and the art objects
that they have collected. George j.
Gould regards her as the most
learned admirer of the English paint
ings at Georgian court that. he
knows. She is beautiful, studious,
and has a distinctive charm of natu-
Talness.
Frank J. Gould has the finest ken
nels of St. Bernard dogs in this coun-
try and stables, that have won many
prizes at horse shows. He will have
in April steam yacht which is be-
ing built for him.
He is man of business, a director
of the Missouri Pacific railway and
other companies. His yearly in
come is enormous. Miss Kelly is to
be wealthy, also, from her fathers
legacy.
Following closely upon the regent
announcement that Frank J. Gould
is to marry Miss Helen Kelly comes
another that he will abandon all
sports.
Mr.. Gould proposes to dispose of
his stable and his kennel. His sta

A KITCHEN CABINET
The One Here Described Seems an
Ideal One as to Completeness
and General Utility.

The kitchen cabinet has become a
recognized factor of complete kitchen
furnishing, especially for women who
do their own housework, as steps saved
in the kitchen give woman strength
and energy for other things. The one
shown here seems an ideal one of it's
kind as to completeness, besides pos
sessing decidedly convenient and
novel feature in it's -four sitter. Pos
sibly this flour bin is the best feature
of the cabinet, and it is claimed for
it that it effectually prevents the flour
from becoming musty, as it is apt to
do when the -four is constantly being
dipped from the top and the bottom
allowed to remain. In this one no old

flour is allowed to accumulate, as it
is put into the bin at the top, passes
through the bin and comes out nicely
sifted at the bottom.
The sitter is made in small drawer
and slides into the bin and can easily
be removed. The flour can be sifted
on to the back part of the molding
board directly underneath or into .
pan or bowl.
Besides this admirable feature this
cabinet has three large drawers, cup
board for cooking utensils, so-pound
fitting sugar bin, with close-ftting lid
and three drawers, the uppermost one
of which is divided by partitions into
six parts for spices. What more could
the heart of woman desire ?-Chicago

and snow was falling, and the wind
was sweeping around corners with a
velocity that wrapped Felicia's skirts
about her ankles Like mummy cloth,

Felicia always felt rebuled for her
slang by his measured words.
"Why. you look like Santa Claus!"
she exclaimed, when they got in the
hall where it was light. Prof. Eyer
threw back his head and laughed. Fe-
licia had never noted before what a
boyish ring his laugh had.
II do feel like old Kris Kringle to-
night" he said, laying down the bun
dies that had suggested the likeness
and approaching the open fireplace,
where Felicia stood warming her numb
fingers. "An I need are the sleigh,
reindeer and the ability to get down
chimneys neatly to make me start out
on myrounds." ~
Felicia was amazed. Was this jolly,
animated boy really the petrified Pro-
fessor? Here was a man who consid-
cred Christ myth, and who conse-
quently could not logically believe in
celebrating Christmas, now loaded
down with packages that bore an un
mistakable holiday air, and seemingly
entering into the spirit of Christ as
with the enthusiasm of boy. More
over, he had steadily avoided her for
the past two months-ever since--since
that highland here he was chatting
to her as if there had never been an
interruption of their old tete-a-tetes
before the hall fire. She felt pretty
sure that this time he would be more
careful about expressing his disappro-
val of journalism for women. At any
rate, she would let sleeping dogs lie.
Then she remembered the cats.
IF you haven't the reindeer and
sleigh, at any rate you shall find slip
ping down chimneys much easier than
the real Santa" she said, hurriedly,
sinking into chair. "You haven't his

"That's so, I haven't" He glanced
down at his rather slender figure and
laughed again-a warm, happy laugh.
Then his eyes fell upon his bundles,
and he sobered

licia felt uncomfortable-"an I have
some doubt of the propriety of this"
He began to unwrap the largest of
his bundles. Felicia watched him, mys-
tilted. Why should he consult her?
The string was knotted, and dignified
Prof. Eyer was soon on his knees at
his task. Now Felicia was distinctly
amused. He was beside her on the
rug before the fire, and as she looked
down she could see where the damp
ness had curled his hair into soft rings
on his neck and on his temples. How
a mother would have loved to run her
fingers through the tumbled locks!
Felicia conquered the temptation.
"You like cats?"ss
The question was abrupt. Felicia
started guiltily. Did he know?

faint.
"Then you will understand why this
appealed to me-" And he held up his
purchase for inspection. It was a

lined exquisitely with blue satin. ruff

when I saw this in a window I was
delighted. It must have been made
specially for little kittens; see, so
soft and downy."
For kittens!" Felicia smiled to
herself. It was a baby basket.
How she had wronged him! Her
action seemed utterly inexcusable
now. He would be angry with her
for supposing him capable of such a
heinOus crime, and now that he had
begun to treat her as she longed to
have him she could not endure the
idea of GOODNESS from him. Now he

was Slason Thompson, the chief edi-

few moments he returned to Skiff with
the story of his i'll luck. He had sur
rendered the tenner. Skiff emitted a
few burning words and gave him
another. Field was admissible, without
challenge, to the jolly brotherhood of
such as Burns, Goldsmith, needless
Dick Steele, and their ilk His BIZ
ographers up to date, have missed the
perspective Of those amiable weaknesses
which present genius in strongest relief.
In his introduction to the Tribune COL
lection of verse Mr.. Brown says: ct
IS the purpose of this volume to pre-
sent to the admirers Of Eugene Field a
collection of poems from store where
In many of his richest gems of wit, hui
NOR and pathos have been buried for
twenty years forgotten, save by those
who were his intimate associates dur
ing his career in Denver"
When Thompson urged him to begin
the compilation of his verse in enduring
form, Field sifted his Denver produc-
tions and took up for revision out of
the mass. only four. One of these he
practically re-wrOte, and two more he
subsequently condemned as unworthy.
The rest of his Denver verses he con-
signed to oblivion, with the fervid hope
had mastered the mechanics of poetry
learned to measure literary values and
realized that his Denver metrical work
was experimental. largely shallow, and
immature. A single comparison will
disclose the healthy improvement in
sentiment and the development Of
method. In the "Hushaby song" of the
Tribune collection he shocks one with
this bit of cynicism, neither humorous
witty nor pathetic.
HE sleeps. my darling baby boy.
