THINGS THAT MIGHT HAPPEN.

"Aren't you worried almost to
death 60 have your boys go off in
sailboat like that?" asked the visitor.
She was thin, nervous, fretful
woman, and she watched with wonder
and something like horror the mat
ter-of-fact way in which her hostess
sturdy lads prepared for an all-day
sail.
The mother shook her head and
smiled. "No," she said, 81 won't
allow myself to worry. They have
right to run some risk. That's the
way boys grow strong and self-reliant,
able to grapple with an emergency.
"Of course there are times when I
have to hold them back little, but I
don't often do it Sometimes, when
I've been tempted to oppose their
plans, I've stopped and asked my
self, Aren't you thinki' g about
yourself more than about them, and
just scheming to save yourself un-
easiness?' When couldn't honestly
answer mo- to that question, I'd let
them go ahead. Selfishness often
masquerades as devotion, you know.
Pm always suspicious of the kind of
mother love that tries to tie healthy
boy to his own dooryard.
"a friend of mine did that once,
She hated and dreaded football, and
one day, when her terrors were at
their height, she asked her son not o
take part in certain game. He
promised he would not, and he
didn't. He lounged around the house
instead. But there he stepped on a
bit of orange peeling, fell, and so in
jured his spine that he was laid up for
more than two years.
"It doesn't pay, you see, to try too
hard to direct the course of events.
1t surely Isn't wise, either, to worry
about things that may happen. Gen.
orally those things don't happe n
Calamities fall at unexpected times
from quarters whence we never antic-
ipated trouble. Worrying doesn't
help protect our loved ones-not
single bit. 1t only affects our own
health and happiness, and distresses
every one around US.
"That's my experience, and that's
the end of the Sermon" the matroH
added, laughingly. "I've endured
agony myself over TROUBLES that
never arrived and if hadn't taken
myself in hand should be nervous

know, Care will kill a cat'-and cat

The Benefit of Fads.


If you haven't fad, acquire one.
Fads are the charm of life. A fad
may be anything; some people make
fad of their work, and better work
would be done if more of us tried it;
but If you get enough of your work
in working hours take up something
else
The trouble with a great many
young people who go the way they
shouldn't go, is that they have moth
ing to occupy their minds, nothing in
which they are interested. When
spare time comes it hangs heavily on
their hands. The natural inclination
is to be sociable, and that leads to
taking drinks. That in turn leads to
more drinks, and by and by the crash
comes.
II you are interested in something,
if you are fascinated with it, time will
fly swiftly, and you will be happy.
Take up sometning-golf,a amateur
photography, physical culture-any-
thing that will arouse your attention
and hold it. You won't know your
self in six months. 1t will get your
mind out of rut, get it off yourself,
and you will be broader, stronger and
better for having been the possessor
of fad.-Toledo Bee.

Approaching Others.

have known some people who are
not very wise or eloquent or rich,
who could not do any great, astonish-
ing things for the Lord, yet they re-
joiced in good deed when they saw
it, and they were always looking for
that sort of thing. And so every
new convert and every weak soul
making an honest effort to do right
found in them sympathy and appre-
citation that was like summer shower
pouring it's refreshing streams about
the roots of dry and thirsty plant.
We are likely to fall into the error
of thinking that our life is without in
fuence, or that we can afford to be
Indifferent in regard to others, and
that whether we influence them for
good or not is small matter; but
when once we consider, we are shown
the falsity of such position. Whe n
We consider our neighbors and the
peopie about us, and see their nee DIS
and how easily they are swept by
every wind of influence from the out
side; when we note how easy it is to
hurt people or to help them; how
contagious are good deeds as we'll as
bad-we see that it is a matter of
greatest Importance, not for our
selves only, but for our brethren, that
we should live the very best possible
lives that Gods grace may help US to
live.-Erchange.

Cruelty to Horses.

In the parks and pleasure drives of
New York docktailed horses are nu-
merous. 1t is barbarous to mutilate
animals in this way and there is no
excuse for the practice. Animals
treated in this manner suffer torments
from flies and are permanently disfig-
ured. The banging of the tails of
thoroughbred runners does no harm.
No sinew or tendon or rkin is touched
by the shears used on the "bangtails.1
Only the hair is shortened. But the
Cocktails are victims of inhumanity.
In the laws of New York there is
provision against this abuse of dock
ing" but it is practically dead letter.
The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals is overwhelmed
with its manifold duties. 1t needs
larger contributions than now come
in and a greater force of agents and
other employees in order to meet the
urgent demands upon its activities.
Unless its income is generously ex-
banded it cannot stop the evil of
docking horses.
1t is said by those who have looked
into the matter that in most cases
the actual cropping the horses tails is
done outside the limits of the state in
order that the men who do the dock
! ing may be in no danger of punish
ment in the New York courts. But it
ought to be made illegal for any one
to have in his possession a locked
horse, just as it is violation of the
lawto rel ain the ownership of counter
felt money. Heroic measures should
be taken to do away with this form of
cruelty.-NeaD York Tribune.

The Misfortunes of venice.

The M1SfOrtuneS OF venice.
Since the falling of the Campanile,
detached bell tower of St. Marks
Cathedral, in Venice, grave fears have
been expressed that this famous city
of unique buildings and beautiful
waterways, which for centuries has
been one of the wonders of the world,
may fall away. Prof. Wagner, the
city architect of Venice, has expressed
the opinion that the subsoil has de-
Perforated to such an extent, and the
piles and pillars are so rotten, that
the pressure of the heavy structures
will prove too great to be upheld
much longer. He states that shrink
ages and sinking have been making
the situation very dangerous recently.
Even those Americans who have
never had the pleasure of visiting
Venice will hope that these fears are
exaggerated, for the romantic city
has come to belong to the world, as
we'll as to Italy.
The tower that fell had been stand
ing for more than ten centuries. 1t
was founded in the year 888, restored
in 1929, provided with marble top in
1417, and in 1917 was crowned with
the figure of an angel nearly six feet
high. The fall of the structure de-
molished many valuable art treasures

Dates to Be Grown in Arizona.
Our government has planted five
acres of date trees, imported from
Africa, near Phoenix, Arizona. 1t is
expected that the experiments will
prove that date culture can be made
paying industry in the West. 1t
has already been demonstrated that
this fruit can be grown in profitable
quantities and of good quality in
warm regions where the ground is dry.
The people of Arizona are watching
the progress of the trees with much
interest. as it means much to the
owners of dry lands. Heretofore
Arizona has not been much in evil
dence as fruit producing state, but
it is more than possible that the date
industry will assume considerable
Importance.

When the late J. Sterling Morton was secretary of agriculture, MT. Robinson, the statistician of the department, was Q free silver man. As usual, he took his thirty days vacation during the summer of 1895, and on his return ap- piled to the disbursing officer for his pay. He was told that the secretary desired to see him before he received his money. Robinson went to the sec retary's office anticipating a promotion or something equally agreeable. He was greeted pleasantly by the secre- tary. who remarked that he had a sur prise in store for him. Then he told the free silver statistician that he had come to the conclusion that his Robin- son's) financial views deserved more considera tion than they had hitherto received from the secretary. and. as Robinson had frequently said he would be delighted to see every one in the United States compelled by law to transact all his business in silver coin, he should have that privilege, if the general public cid not, so Mir Morton had ordered the disbursing officer to pay him his salary in standard silver dollars. Robinson had nothing to do but take the money. The bag weighed twelve pounds, and the secretary soli- citously cautioned him not to let it drop on his toes.

Deafness is caused by an ia famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets innamed you have a rumh- ling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the innammtion can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are caused by cattarrh, which is moth ing but an innammed condition of the mucous surfaces.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, MAY p. 1902.

Stupid as democratic leadership usu- ally is, it is already evident that the
 leaders of the nation- DISCOMFORT al democracy per FOR ceive that they have ATROCITY made a bad mistake HOWLERS. in seeking to carry
 the country in this years congressional elections on the Philippines ''atrocity' issue They hve found that vicious abuse and slander of the army is not a popular proceeding Indeed these lessons have been carried home to the democracy more than once since the year 1860, and the only sur >prisfng thing is that serious attempt should have been made at this late date to arouse the people of the United States against their army when it IS in conflict with the enemies of the country. And there are signs that the plan of carrying Arizona on the "atro- city, issue is to be abandoned. The Tucson democratic organ and its Phoe- nix replica, which are given to rushing in where wisdom fears to tread, are now making apologetic explanations Of the foul abuse they have been heaping upon the soldiers in the Philippines. They are explaining that they realize that the army is made up of repIbli- and democrats in equal propor- tions. and that their, islanders should have been considered as applying to the officers only. Soon, probably, we shall have fur ther explanation from these sheets to the effect that the officers of the army who are braving death and disease in ing peace and protection for the loya! inhabitants of the islands, have won the thanks of the American people.
 The efforts now to concentrate dem ocratic criticism upon the officers of the army will have the same disastrous results for the copperhead element that followed the libels on the soldiers. Iha administration mas made it plain that the officers who have violated the rules of war will be punished, and that the OI4lteIS WHO nave Deteu WTOIlS Lul. y slC~ cused will be vindicated and sustained, and the whole country will uphold the president in this determination. The ''atrocity" campaign has shifted to pie turing the horrors C the concentration camps. and the Arizona copperheaJs will in few days be retailing yarns of the terrible suffering of the recon centrados," and painting Chaffee as a second Weyier.
