Evil OF Needless Worry.

Why is it that people make ~
much trouble in this world, not only
for others, but also for themselves
To be in a state OF worry and unrest
is not normal There is, of course d,
certain amount Of thought and anxiety
lnseparably connected with the all.
important question Of getting llvl..,
but this thought and anxiety should
not be allowed to degenerate into
needless worry. 1t doesn't make ms.
ters any better, after one has done all
he can honestly and conscientlously,
to worry over the outcome. Thing
are things aud are going to be what
they are despite u.s. If we have done
our best, why, that's all there is to it.
But it Isn't the man who worries
over the things in which he himself
has at least little cay who makes the
most trouble in this world. IL is the
man who worries over the thincS
about which be has nothing to say
The board Of regents Of the Smith
sonian Institution has entered into a
contract with Messrs. Horublower q
Marshall, architects, to make the pla
for the building Preliminary plaL

than year ago. The award Of tLi

New Home tor Museum.

Another OF the gigantic improve

under way is rapidly assuming form
in the hands of those who have charge
Of the new National Museum Building

The building, it is said, will be the
largest on this side of the Atlantic
ocean and probably the finest museum

1t will embrace all of the best feature
Of the great national museums OF
Europe and provide spacious hom

Truth Crushed TO Earth.

Uncle Sam has received an sppl-
cation lately from a bsttle-scarred
veteran, who does not hesitate to tell
the truth about his claim on the na-
tons gratitude and his right to be
enrolled among the pensioners. He
was devotee of Mars during the
trying days of the Civil War, and
believes that he did the State some
service. When requested by the Pen
sion Bureau to specify the circum-
stances under which. he incurred
physical disabilities, be sent IN the
following detailed explanation
The way got my war inergy was a
ketching Of hog. The Hog war a
SOW hog and ur captain wanted her for
forege. We was chasin the sow. and
She crawled threw hoal in a rale fence.

nv he'd and nocked me SeuSclesS. do
not think the SOW pig had nothing TO
do with line Of duty for did not ketch
the hog. Which she never war caut.
This man deserves a pension for
bis trutLfulness and monument for
his caudor. He might have fabricated
a tEuIling yarn and represented him
self as performing prodigies Of valor.
Instead Of that he tells plain, un-
vanished tale of hog chase, in
which the poker carried off the
laure.s. Evidently this veteran has
the blood of Washington coursing
in his veins. No man who was not
descendant Of the Father Of his Couu-
try, would have been 20 frank when
it was Just as easy to prevarcate and
pose AZ the iucarnate son OF Mars.
Commissioner Ware should give him
a pension and Congress should vote
him a medal, with a picture Of a
hatchet and cherry tree Oh II.

What a CIoudburst Is.

Weather Director Evans says what
Is popularity described as a cloudburst,
such az worked such destruction IN
the Ctrolioas recently, is no more,
no less, than excessive precipitation.
He used a sponge as an illustration.
Immerse it in water, and it will dis
tend and hold in suspension a vol
ume Of fluid many times its weight,
Squeeze it, and the contents are pre-
cipitated in burst of moisture.
The atmosphere, in sense, Is
sponge Instead Of immersion the
process is one Of attraction (by the SUM
and absorption Of moisture by the
atmosphere during warm period
The atmosphere extends, dIIates, as 1t
takes in excessive quantities Of mols-
ture. The "squeezng' operation Is
DE to a change in the temperature.
Cold, coming suddenly, strikes through
the warm, heavily laden atmosphere,
condeusing the moisture and contract
ing the atmosphere As it contracts
the water is expelled and falls in
sheets and torrents, constituting what
we popularity describe as cloudburst.

In temem brauCe OF Her OheAampleu
Virtues as a Wife.
Merely the word Virtues" was a
crown of praise indeed. But "une1-
ample" before it gave crushing weight
to John Logans constant recital of
his dead paltuer's perleotious.
No matter how faxed Luciuda's
pies aud biscoit, the utmost she could
win from John was a gentle:
Nearly as good as Marthas, dear !
Jest keep on-you'II Il get there.
Once when Lucinda, provoked over
some Little thing, raised her sweet
voice triAe shrilly, John said slowly:
Martha used to get fretted some
times, guess, but she had motto

voice was low aud soft alIers-an ex-

And Lucinda had blushed scarlet
and lowered hers. A hatred, which
She felt to be inexpressively wicked,
swelled at last in the girls heart
Often when she passed tie cemetery
on her way from the village store she
/ felt an urgent desire TO 20 in and
defy the sleeper with scornlul words.
She put away the thought again
and again. But at last it oyercame
her. One musky summer evening,
John not being due till late, she found
herself standing beside Martha state
" tomb in the cold moonlight.
Il hate you, she cried. Il hate
you-you detestable woman !"
The sound of her voice echoed
through the pale little congregation
of the dead and terrified her. But
she rallied.
Yes, mean 1t, I want you to
hear I don't believe you are in
heaven. You're under that stone,
putting ideas into Johns head every

Stowe, May 25.-Word has been
received from Secretary of the Treas
ury Shaw that he will be present and
deliver the grafton at the dedication
of the Soldiers Memorial building
which will probably occur during
Old Home Week." Work is pro

stagings on the outside have been
taken down, which gives people an
unobstructed view of the beautiful ex-
terror. Contractor Moore of Burling-
ton arrived on Saturday with large
force of men and began work ON the
concrete driveway which is to extend
entirely around the building
Memorial services preceding Mem
orial day were held in Unity church

W. r. O., S. of V. and l. A. attended
in body and listened to au able SER

TO HELP OTHERS.
THE WORTHY OBJECT OF ALDERMAN
HOSKEN'S DAUGHTER.
Not Charity, but a Desire to
Do Something in the Inter
est of Humanity-Her
Statement.

Miss Rhetha Hosken. the only daugh-
ter of Alderman John Hosken, of No.
634 Cherry street, Grand Rapids,
Mich, with the worthy object of
helping others, makes the following
statement:
II was partially paralyzed, bereft
of speech and unable to walk without
support. My parents had given up all
hope of my ever being well, for the
best physicians had treated me with
out helping my case. We all thought
l was doomed to die.
1.-The paralysis was over my entire
left side and so affected my organs of
speech that l could hardly make
my simplest wants understood. With
the assistance of chair | could man
age to get across the room, but | was
nearly helpless.
my trouble began with what the
doctors called poverty Of the blood and
l kept growing weaker and weaker in
spite Of their medicines. Then, when
prospects seemed darkest, my mother
decided to give up all other medicines
and take DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. They Acted like magic.
In less than week after l begn their
use, found l was improving. We
were all overjoyed. l continued with
DR.. Williams Pink Pills faithfully
and the dreadful paralysis disappeared,
my strength returned and l became
the healthy girl l am today. Every
body who knew me regards my recov-
cry as simply marvellous. | am always
glad in the interest of humanity to
tell what DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People did for me-. -
DR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are unlike other medicines be-
cause they act directly on the blood
and nerves. This makes them invalu-
able in such cases as locomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis, st. Vitus' dance,
sciatic, neuralgia, rheumatism, ner-
vous headache, the after effects of the
grip, pale and sallow compilations and
all forms of weakness either in male
or female. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People are sold by all dealers,
or will be sent postpaid on receipt OF
price, fifty cents box, or six boxes
for two dollars and fifty cents, by ad-
dressing DR.. Williams Medicine Com.
