Don't Worry.

This is easier said than done, yet it
may be of some help to consider the
matter. If the cause is something
over which you have no control it is
obvious that worrying will not help
the matter in the least. On the
other hand, if within your control,
you have only to act. When you
have a cold and fear an attack of
Pneumonia, buy a bottle of Chamber
lsin's Cough Remedy and use it judi
ciously and all cause for worry as to
the outcome will quickly disappear.
There is DO danger of pneumonia
when it is used. For sale by Anti

There is a little uncertainty at lola, Kansas. and. surprising as it may seem, there is 2 woman at the bottom of it. John Elston has been with his parents at lola for some time. alleging that he was on a furlough from the United States army. The other day the chief of police received letter from a girl at Fort Yellowstone. Montana. In this letter the girl asked the chief to tell Elston that the army officers were af- ter him on the charge of assertion. He used to be engaged to me and he tilted me-" wrote the girl. but do not want to see him go to the penitentiary for several years. as he will if the officers catch him. The chiet walked over to the Elston house and arrested the young man on the charge of desertion
 Some of the people of lola are asking what the girl really wanted the chief tc do. They will find out when she writes to the chief and planes him for so mis- using the information she gave him.

ism which is determined by the atavic recall of the ancient type of qygmies,
 type which disappeared in our regions about the middle of the Christian era N. Poneet and M.Leriche base their opinion upon two curious observations. They made study of two creatures, brother and sister. born in a little vil- lage on the banks of the river Ain. They are both fine specimens of pyg- mics. Their stature is three feet eleven and one-fourth inches and three feet ten inches. Their father and grandfa- ther were of small stature, each stand ing four feet six. They were intelli- gent, strong and muscular. Their moth CT is still living. She is forty-nine years old, and in height measures foru fleet eight inches. Her third child. a young woman of tWenty-six summers, is slightly above the average female stature. She is five feet eight inches. Pierre, the eldest son, is thirty-one years old His intelligence is normal.
 He has the head and body of the aver age man. There is nothing particular about him except the shortness of his limbs. His bones are large, but not de- formed. His hands are small, and his muscles are powerful. He can hold
 with ease a weight of thirty-five pounds with the arm fully extended. His sis ter is twenty-eight years old, very small stature. Her head is normal, but her limbs. especIally the lower limbs, are short.She weighs ninety-four
 pounds, and has no organic defect.
 M. Poncet and M. Leriche claim that these two specimens are genuine dwarfs, that is to say, dwarfs by hered- l ity, and not pathological dwarfs. The specimens escribed above adhere ad- mirably in their anatomical .constitu-
 ton to the descriptions of the pygmies of old. Their health is excellent and
 their physical development perfect. All
 idea of morbid pathology must be re-
 jected; they must be treated as a spec
 ial variety of the human species. or at laest as marked variation of the hu-
 man type.
 If these dWarfs are rarities it is prob
 ably because there is a constant ad-
 yancement of the human race toward a higher type with the progressive eleva- tion of the stature. Little by little the dwarf type fades away; and, no doubt, lit will finally disappear completely.
 ] In word, judging by their frames, by 1 their physical characteds by the hered- lity of their low stature and by the re-
 production of the dwarf through seve-
 ral generations. it appears probable that the two cases studied by NM. Pom
 cet and M. Leriche have an ancestral
 origin and present the living evidence
 of race of pygmies that formerly ex-
 isted on French soil; that is to say, that
 some dwarfs living to-day may actually
 be the descendants of the pygmies of
 old.-Courier des Etats Unis.

A Cincinnati paper has collected some statistics about train robberies in the United States. The figures are scarcely credible. The total number of trains held up in IA years is S41. There wesa 91 persons killed. Those shot numbered 109 Thirteen trains were held up in 1903 and g in 1902 Stage robberies numbered six last year
 These are rather surprising figures. and they move the Worcester Spy to remark We read about brigands in Turkey. As matter of prudence it would be just as well for us to talk less about the backwardness of other countries until we can eliminate rail- road holdups altogether. There is no reason why the United States should 1 have a single crime of this kind com mitted. This nation has got to make more prominent as political issue the obedience to law. If we are going to hold our own with other civilized na- tions, we have got to eliminate railroad holdups, highway robbery, lynching and railroad accidents and other forms of homicide. We can't compare notes with Great Britain, France, Germany, and advise them how to improve their forms of government until we obey our own laws better
 In the face of such facts as these it does look rather cheeky in us to be try ing to pull beams out of other peoples eyes. But we are benevolent, and we hate injustice and wrong of all kinds.

4 BTGGEE CANADA TALKED OF.

A special correspondent of the Lon- says that the Canadian government is now considering the propriety of a speedy annexation of Newfoundland and Greenland, and in this way round ing off the Dominion, so far as the in- roads on the Pacific coast will admit The Alaska Commission award has set the government thinking and working. , Tn 1895 Newfoundland applied for ad- mission into Canada. At that time Canada made an offer to Sir William Whiteway, but the matter was not gone into very seriously, or it might have easily been accomplished. Sir R. Bond, the present prime minister of New foundland, is well acquainted with all the negotiations of that day, and finds himself now in good position to re- ceive overtures from Canada. The greater part Of the front door of Can- ada is held by Newfoundland, which owns a long fringe of the coast at Lab- rador The experience on the Pacific coast, says the correspondent, is a warning to. the Canadian government that the sooner Newfoundland is brought within the Confederation the better. It is tolerably certain that the terms of union will be more costly to the Dominion now than in 1895, but it is believed that they can be made accept able to both sides. The British govern- ment is expected to facilitate matters. Greenland will have to be purchased by Canada from Denmark, and negotia- tions to this end must be made through the imperial authorities.

DANISH IDEA.

Little Denmark is not little-minded. The Minister of the Interior has sub mitted to the Folkething, or lower house of Parliament, a bill under which the voting privilege is to be given to every citizen twenty-five years old who has paid taxes for the year preceding and who has a fixed homestead. Farm hands. domestic servants and others who have no fixed homesteads are ex- cepted, as are also those who are in bankruptcy. The proposed law not only makes sex no bar to voting, but it goes further and provides that everyone who has the right to vote is eligible to office" The enactment of it would "emancipate" women politically at one stroke; and though the aristocratic and conservative upper house may offer some objection to it those who are fla miliar with Danish conditions declare that public sentiment strongly favors the change.
 Denmark is all right, or will be when this bill becomes law.
