DON'T WORRY.

There 10 an old saying to the end
that worry has cost more in life and
peace than all the wars and plagues
and famines says the Joplin Globe.
Did 1t ever occur to you In that
wayr Did you ever cit down and
take agood square measure of itf
Have you ever been able to locate
time or place where worry relieved
a pain, wiped away tear, solved a
problem or in any way ever did q
particle of good9
Worry has killed millions. Wor-
ry is as big curse in the home az
whiskey, yes, thousand times big
ger one, because il invades all
homes at all hours and renders all
unhappy.
Worry brings gray hare, wrin'
kles. bent forms, indigestion, old
age, death.
Father comes home worried. The
children run to him for a smile, but
he shoves them away. They run to
mamma and inquire "whats the
matter with papa7" and mother says
"your papa is worried, dear"
All are afraid to speak. No emile
aids digestion. Childieh humor Ia
suppressed. And the worried man
goes back to worry more.
Can it be stopped?
Yes.
How?
Just as every other difficulty is
surmounted. Strength of will, firm
ness of purpose, will drive dull care
and worry away. Constantly re-
solve to wear smile. With 1t you
have more friends. The poet says
Laugh and the world laughs with
you. Weep and you weep alone"
You can accomplish more. You
can succeed with smile while de-
feat awaits frown.

THE REUNION.

If the success of this years Baxter
Springs reunion be measured by
the attendance and by the sum to-
tai of wholesome enjoyment derived
by the majority of those who at
tended it, 1t certainly takes the palm
of victory from all the reuions that
have preceded it.
Those whose eyes are closed to
the somber and disagreeable things
of life, whose nostrils are never dis
tented to catch mephitic odors,
found much that was amusing, in.
structive and enjoyable.
As a matter of course, disreputa-
BILE characters will flock to such
gatherings. They attended in large
numbers the Atlanta Cotton States
exposition, the Nashville Centen-
nial exposition, the Omaha Trans.
Mississippi exposition, the New Or
leans exposition in Philadelphia in
1876, the Worlds Fair in Chicago in
1898. The most watchful vigilance
cannot entirely exclude such per-
sons from interstate occasions nor
wholly restrain them from plying
their nefarious vocations. Indeed,
1t seems well-nigh impossible alb
solutely to segregate the good from
the bad in this world, and looking
at this question from a broader
viewpoint than merely that of local
expediency or immediate benefits
derived, the inseparability of these
two autagonistic elements may be
the only condition consistent with
the exercise of our free moral agen-
cy.
It is safe to say there were fewer
grafters, fewer Objectionable char
acters, and less immortality and
drunkenness to be seen at the great
interstate reunion this year, in pro-
portion to the number of people in
attendance, than could have been
seen at any other equally great
gathering held anywhere in the
past. Taking it in it's entirety, the
verdict 10 bound to be. that the Bax-
ter Springs reunion of 1901 was a
grand affair, a most enjoyable event,
an unimpeachable festival, and the
officers of the Reunion Association
deserve unstinted praise for the eff.
ficent and orderly manner in which
il was conducted throughout.-Col-
umbus Advocate.
