POWER OF IMAGINATION.
rhere Is Any number of ways In
Which a Healthy Man May Think
Himself to Death.

Thousands of people actually thinls
themselves to death every year by
allowing their minds to dwell on NOR
bid subjects.
As rule, the thought that kills re-
lates to something the individual
breads more than anything else in
the world. There is the germ of IA
tai thought in 90 persons in every
100, and the exception is only proof
against the thought disease by hav-
ing been inoculated with the lymph
of profound optimism or philosophy.
The idea that one has some incip-
lent disease in ones system, the
thought of financial ruin, that one is
getting on in life without improving
prospects-any of them, or a thou
sand similar thoughts, may carry a
healthy man to a premature grave.
A melancholy thought that fixes it.
self upon ones mind needs as much
''doctOring" as physical disease; it
needs to be eradicated from the mind.
or it will have just the same result
as a neglected disease would have.
The thought-disease sometimes cures
itself after running its course; so
does smallpox. But who would settle
down to suffer from smallpox, and
chance recovering, as thousands of
foolish persons settle down to let the
thought disease, which has attacked
them, do its worst?
Every melancholy thought, every
morbid notion, and every nagging
worry should be resisted to the ut
most, and the patient should be
physicked by cheerful thoughts, of
which there is a store in every ones
possession, bright companions =
cheaper than drugs, and pleasanter.
There have occurred scores of dOz-
ems of cases where healthy persons
have thought themselves into having
tumOrs and cancers-caseS which adj
NIT of no doubt whatever that the
diseases resulted from constant NOR
bid fear. There might possibly be
fewer cases of cancer if some great
doctors could assure the world that
it is not a hereditary disease; but
mOrbid-minded persons, on hearing
that there is cancer in their families,
generally do the very worst thing
they can do under the circumstances
they conceive an awful dread that
they will be afflicted with it. They
dwell upon the fear constantly; and
every trifing ailment which troubles
them is. at first mistaken for the
premonitory symptoms of cancer.
The morbid condition of mind pro-
duces a morbid condition of body,
and if the disease does happen to be
in the system it receives every en-
enlargement to develop. = Chicago

ON THE TAO
EXPRESSES
By FRANK ii. SWEET.

A S THE 7:4O train began to pull
~ away from the Alexandria sta
ton, an old, white-haired negro hur-
ried across the platform and swung
himself onto the rear car. He was
very black and very dusty, and the
single occupants of seats looked a Nit
tie apprehensive as he shuff1ed diff
IDENTIFY through the car. But he did
not offer to sit down. When he
reached the opposite end, he took hold
of seat to steady himself and gazed
around curiously, his big, wondering
eyes rowing from one face to another
with the eager scrutiny of a child.
Evidently he was very tired, for his
shoulders began to slope, and every
few minutes he shifted his feet as
though they hurt him.
At last a young man lowered his
newspaper.
Here is seat, uncle" he called,
''you look tired
The negro shuff1ed forward eagerly.
Yes, sab! tank yo', sah!" he said,
gratefully, as he sank down. Use

''No, sab; goin' back home-goin'

away Georgia.

motor-driven "cyclemobile," as Mr..
Whipple, its designer, calls it, may
prove most welcome. It is also ca
pable of furnishing all the excitement
that the most robust might desire,
Simply by advancing one lever, it MAJ
be made to run from four miles per
hour up to 40. 1t weighs about $50
pounds.
Owing to its tremendous speed,
many fast horses and expensive au-
tomobiles have been made to appear
at disadvantage, being easily dis
tanced by this modest little device.
These speed tests afforded a great
amount of amusement to the crowds
witnessing them upon the streets of
Chicago.

The IOWA COWBOY.

When the land was Wild and the country
And the crop fields only fenced around,
When snakes were plenty and horses few,
And the pastures without mete or bound,
The farmstead cowboy-boy indeed
Ihe youngest worker, and by that grace,
with only his own bare feet for steed,
z Was shrewd observer, skilled to trace
The truant COWS to their lurking place.
His sight was keen, and the tell-taIe track
or the spotted COW with the broken hoof
Ut the tender-footed heifer's rack,
One light, three heavy, would leave him
proof
In the dust or sod. and point the way
That the grazing herd had strayed at will
In its aimless wanderfngs that day;
And lead to the spot where they dallied
still,
In some sheltering grove. or beyond the
hill.
If the day were spent and the cleaning fell,
And the breeze stilled down at eventide,
Trained was his ear for the leaders, bell,
Pulsdng the air Ger the country side,
Never mistook he Its far-off tone,
Throbbing. sobbing: Here! Out hereT'
NO clucking COW bell save his own.
SOD as 1t might. thrilled his soul with
For the sobs to laughter turred on his ear.
All that wore feathers, down and wings,
He knew their voices, calls and ways;
Fish OF the brook, four-footed things,
Tadpoless snails, well-digging crays,
Ants. and tumble-bugs, and toadS
Crickets, hornets. bats and tees
lie had sought out their abodes,
And could tell you the names of all the
trees;
They were his chums, were all of these.
Old-time cowboy, long grown gray!
Bounding broncho, and bucksl<in suit

With cartridge belt, and gun to shoot,

A cotton shirt blue jeans a pair,
And one suspender to hold 'em there!
Old-time cowboys! not as of yore

Telling you of the herd once more;
Yet you may hear a deep-toned knell
Sounding out meath a village spire
Now and then, and here and there
Tolling its tale to the sunset s. fire,
Leading some brothers spirit where
