Many people fail to get on in the
world because they will not do the
things that are disagreeable to them.
They gladly pick the flowers in their
vocation, but will not touch the weeds
or thorns. They like TO do the things
that are easy and agreeable, but shirk
from the disagreeable or laborious.
They go round the hills of difficulty in
stead of over them; they leave the en-
emy half conquered. and he is always
coming up to attack them unexpected
ly from the rear.
The best way to overcome this dread
of drudgery is to determine resolutely
to do the disagreeable things first
Take hold of them with vigor. as you
would grasp a nettle if you would
avoid the sting. and after awhile you
will find what seemed so difficult in
conception is really easy in execution.
The most disagreeable tasks in life,
when viewed in their proper proper
tions, reveal a poetic and attractive
side hitherto undreamed of. Turn ON
the sunlight of good cheer, the deter
mination to see the bright as well as
the dark side, and you will find some
thing pleasant in the most dreaded
task.-EXchange.

Among the numerous varieties Of
Arizona cactus none is so remarkable
as the sahuaro, or giant cactus, which
is peculiar to the southwest and grows
to the proportions of a great tree, at
tanning in some instances a height of
60 feet. A forest of these prickly mon
sters is SO Unlike anything occurring at
any other point of the globe as to be
almost indescribable. Rising like great

In private grounds and public parks
the stately palm and the spreading
canopy of the umbrella tree greet the

you permit me to come again?'
Whenever you please" cordially re-
piled his hostess; for we shall always
be glad to see you"
Call again tomorrow" ventured
Clotilde, with a roguish twinkle in her
eyes.
Fifteen days later Sangerot, during
one of his flying journeys through
Paris, happened to stumble over NJ
Jules Dupen, lawyer, who, strange to
say, gave him a very cold reception,
and remarked reproachfully, well,
I'm still waiting"
waiting? Waiting for what?' in
quired the innocent Sangerot, his hon
est face wreathed in smiles.
For the letter from Nine. Verman-
dois," curtly answered the lawyer.
Now, look here. my dear friend, do
not joke with me, for 1 have heard all
about your daily visits to my sister-in-
laws house, that my niece is desper-
ately in love with you, and that on
Tuesday next a dinner will be given,
when the engagement will be formally
announced. Unfortunately, 1 have
been so much occupied of late that
have not been able to be present dur
ing any of your visits. But 1 shall
make an effort to be there ON Tuesday,
if can find time"
my dear SIR said the lawyer, with
dignified reserve, 81 assure you that 1
have never put my foot in your sister
in-law's house"
"Whatr' cried Sangerot. "Can it be
possible that l made a mistake and
gave the wrong address? By the way,
Dupen, where do you liver
zone hundred and twenty-three Bou-
levard st. Germain.''
Another sad mistake Of my over
burdened brain. l ask thousand par
dons, my friend. But, really, haven't
time to stop another minute. Well
, talk over this little affair some other
day" And with this Sangerot hurried
off in the direction of the Rue Bona
him that the mistake had long ago been
explained and that the parties con.
cerned were entirely satisfied.
In the coZy little morning room San.
gerot found Jules Dupen of 123 Boule-
ward st. Michel talking with his fan
Gee. Sangerot cordially extended his
hand, while Mime. Vermandois, posi-
bly, overcome with joy at the approach
ing marriage Of her daughter, assured
her brother-in-law that this time his
thoughtlessness would be entirely

Indeed, yes" coquettishly added
Mile. -Clotilde, glancing coyly at hel

Eating and Colds.

Drinking at meals induces a person
TO eat more than he otherwise would,
and excess in eating is one Of the great
causes for sickness. In fact, the two
great dietary failings seem to be over
eating and drinking of too little water
at the proper times. Many colds are
from overeating or from eating gross
food. Persons with abundant lung
power who exercise a greal deal and
breathe much can dispose of large
quantity of food, but the more deli
cate and sedentary should eat moder-
ately. \ Geld once taken will run its
course In spite of what may be done
for it unless 1t is attended to within
4S hours after its inception. The treat
ments vary. The cutting off of sup
plies by skipping a few meals is one
of the principal things, for the old say
ing about stuffing a cold and starving
q fever should be literally amplified in
to the condition and conclusion that if
you stuff a cold you will have a fever
to starve. Some persons assert that
any cold, if taken in time, may be cur
ed without any medicine whatever by
following the simple precautions of
keeping warm, going without eating
for "a hours and drinking largely of
some sort of warm tea. Another plan
is that OF drinking cold water freely
and going without eating.-Exchange.

And Other Ladies.

After making out list of its awards
of medals and prizes one of the juries
of the Paris exposition of 1900 decided
to celebrate the completion of its la
bors by giving an informal little dinner
at which the members of the jury, rep
resenting many nationalities, could
meet far more agreeably as private in
dividuals; hence it was decidedly un-
expected when. after they had reached
the stage of coffee and cigars, the Brit
ish member of the jury rose with great
solemnity and said, Gentlemen, pro-
pose the health of her majesty the
queen"
This staggered everybody for a mo-
ment; but, innate courtesy overcoming
national prejudice. they quickly pulled
themselves together and drank the
toast with all the honors.
No sooner, however. had this been ac-
complished than the American member
rose and, poising his glass in the air,
said Simply, And other ladies'"
Needless to say this equally unex-
pected toast was received with en-
thusiasm by all-Argonaut.

LEGEND OF THE RED ROSE


One day within garden fair
Love found a maiden sleeping.
June srnbeams tangled in her hair.
The sentry lilies keeping
With rival purity and grace
Their loving watch above her,
While DER the happy dreamers facs
The whispering zephyrs hover.
Love tipped an arrow with kiss
And sent it, passion laden,
With cunning hands that could not mis-
To wake the sleeping maiden.
1t pierced her heart; she woke and smiled
With glances sweet and tender;
1t made woman Of the child;
Loves morning dawned in splendor.
She felt the arrow in her breast;
She saw Loves empty quiver;
The slender shaft she deeper pressed
And smiled upon the giver.
Love beckoned her; she rose with pride
To fly with her bold wooer;
He pledged her she should be his bride;
No lover would be truer.
A voice awoke the dreamy air,
feeble father sought her;
She turned from Love in deep despair
To prove a faithiui daughter.
'0h, come" cried Love, thy life shall b
Encrowned with joy and beautyi'
''Take up thy cross and follow me-"
Commanded stern eyed Duty.
She wrenched the arrow from her breast;
Her heart elung to it broken;
She laid them at his feet and blessed
Her first and last love token
A glory shone within her eyes;
She clasped the hand of Duty;
Heaven saw the noble sacrifice
And filed her soul with beauty.
Love took his silver bow and made
A grave; then. softly weeping,
In IL her heart and arrow laid
And left them in Times keeping.
Tue lilies. bending DER the mound.
Nourned for the heart they cherished,
And when the brown leaves strewed the ground,
Upon its grave they perished-
The wind grew hoarse and ceased to shrek
Among the barren bowers
The sunbeams kissed Dame Natures cheek;
Her blushes bloouied in flowers
One morn upon the moss grown mound,
The garden air perfuming.
With tiny arrowheads set round.
They found Loves red rose blooming.

town of Ramsay. His opponent is a
local lawyer. Mr.. Gaines address has
created CONSERVATION even among his
own supporters, for he advocates some
sweeping changes. First of all, Mr..
Caine wants to nationaliZe the steam
ship service connecting the Isle of
Man with England, running it without
profit. Then he applies himself to
the ManX steam and street railroads,
and would furnish the same radical
system to them. Land must be treat
ed in a somewhat similar manner, the
Manx parliament controlling the drain
age, cultivation and tree planting.
The banks, of course, are included in
this naturalization scheme by which
Mr. Game believes that such financial
scandals as occurred in the Isle of
Man last year would be avoided.
Mr.. Game justifies these apparently
improbable national undertakings by
pointing out that the primary factor
in Manx prosperity is the islands
popularity as holiday resort, and
that it must prosper or decline as II
meets the needs of the visitors.

SAMAR A WILD ISLAND.
Has Never Been Pacified During the
Past 400 Years,

Washington, Oct 20.-The Island
of Samar. where Company G, ninth
infantry, met such slaughter in Sep
TENDER, is graphically described in an
article prepared by the division of in
sular affairs of the war department.
Little is known of the island except
that it has long coast line, has been
the scene of great brutality by the
natives during the Spanish occupa-
ton of the Philippines and has never
been pacifed in over 400 years.
1t is one of those islands in the
Philippines believed to have fine min
eral deposits, which were never de-
veloped owing to the hostility of the
natives to every advance of civiliza-
ton. 1t is the third island in size
in the archipelago, being 156 miles
from northwest to southeast and rs
miles from east to west, with an area
of mainland Of 5,488 square miles. 1t
is 49S square miles larger than Con
necticut, twice the size of Delaware
and over four and a half times as
large as Rhode Island.
The strait of San Juanico, which di-
vides the island from Leyte, is one of
the most interesting features Of the
Visayan scenery. In the caves along
the Samar shore in prehistoric lays
were buried the remains of human be-
ings OF much superior stature to those
now living. Another curiosity of nature
is an arch of limestone rock, 40 feet
high, over the Basig river in the south.

BIG BLAZE IN
NOVA SCOTIA

Halifax, n. s., Oct. 20.-The pros
porous and thriving town of Sydney
was almost swept out of existence
yesterday by fierce confagratior
which started about 2 O'Clock. The
flames were famed by 45-mile gale,
and swept through the principal bust
ness portions of the town, causing
ruin and devastation. Four blocks of
the finest business buildings are in
ashes. The only thing that saved the
city from total destruction was a
heavy rainstorm which set in after
dark and, as the wind decreased in
fury the firemen and hundreds or
miners succeeded in getting the fire
under control. Over sixty buildings
are in ashes and many more badly
scorched. The buildings were nearly
all large wooden structures and
burned SO fiercely it was impossible
to save any of their contents. At
O'Clock the progress of the fire was
stayed. The fire is supposed to have
been started by the bursting of an oil
stove The loss is estimated at half
a million, about half covered by insur-
ancp
