Some people are altogether too sensi-
tive. While this feeling may show
suspicious disposition, it is by no means
favorable to the person possessed of the
quality. These people are generally a
misery to themselves and try to make
all miserable around them. If anything
appears in print in an inuendO form,
they take it to themselves, and the inno-
cent writer is subject to their most ven
emous maledictions, when he, perhaps,
had no more thought of them when writ
ing. than he had of "The Story of Han
NAH" There are others who, when they
hear something out of which they think

YOU will certainly gain nothing by ill
will and retaliation. A fakir is hard to
beat at his own game. All persons who
are prone to take everything that is said
in community. as directed to them
selves, have a hard time of it. Better
take the world easy and not accredit
yourselves with more than you are guilty.
Remember this and be wise.
Our little item of last week in regard
to church slumber has made decided
hit; we were not aware there we're so
many guilty ones. We are informed

I had an ex-so der of Walkers Fill

If the ladies' who are given somnolelce
will take little cayenne pepper, and
when they feel their drowsiness coming
on apply a little to the vetreOus human,

r.hem awake. This is a merely sugges-
stiou.
