dition does not improve.
Miss Conners, who is beautiful

tives living there now. The young
woman did not exhibit any indications
Of a disordered mind until the train

her car she attracted the attention of
the other passengers by declaring that
she was being pursued by Colorado
strikers. An officer was summoned
and ordered that Miss Conners be taken
to the Receiving Hospital, which was
done by Brakeman w. !. O'Neill Of
the Southern Pacific Company. Prior
TO being removed from the train the
young woman was presented with a
purse that had been raised among her
fellow passengers, who took pity on her
plight.

Advice.

The best advice that can be given
probably is: Take all the advice you
can get and then do as you please. The
successful person. or the one whom the
crowd counts successful, is being con
stantly besieged with applications For
advice how to succeed. He is generally
incapable of giving ii. The same adj
vice, outside of a few maXims gener-
ally applicable. is seldom good for two
persons. Advice, as a rule, is cheap
and about as valuable as most cheap
things. To be constantly following adj
vice without stopping to consider its
source is the plain mark of weakness.
1t is this trait Of weak human nature
which makes the business of the pat
ent medicine maker so profitable. The
person of power is the one who neither
gives nor takes advice in generous
quantities. The world would be better
OFF if advice were much less plentiful.
Then, perhaps, its quality might rise in
proportion to its scarcity.-New Lon
don Telegraph.
