ToURIsTs FUNNY REMARKS
One Woman Wanted 70 Know II the
Grand Canyon Was Open Sun
days-Fried Cupids."

Burton Holmes has been travel
ing in the summers and telling of
his travels during the winters for
a dozen years. During that time
he has visited almost every coun.
try on the globe, and now that he
is in New York, he is continually
meeting friends whom he first met
in Japan, Alaska, Hawaii, India,
Algeria or some other foreign
country.
"The criticism is sometimes
made of the Japanese that they
have no religion" said Mr..
Holmes, at The Lambs the other
day, ''but the criticism is not we'll
founded. They have a religion,
which, while simple, is sufficient
for their needs, and it has many
beautiful features. The religion
is known as 'Shinto,' or Way Of
the Gods 1t is a sort of sun wor-
ship, and in the temples a rising
sun is always a prominent part Of
the decorations. In fact, it is
about all there is in the temples.
Some one once said that there is
nothing to see in a Shinto temple,
and they won't let you see it."
Mr.. Holmes says that the most
interesting feature Of his travels
has been the other travellers whom
he has met. The comments that
some of them make when gazing
for the first time on a wonder Of
nature are excruciatingly funny.
Thus a woman who gazed into the
awe-inspiring Grand Canyon of
the Colorado for the first time
said: Gust as / expected; knew
/ would be disappointed. 1t is not
a bit like Colorado Springs" An
other woman, when buying in San
Francisco a round trip ticket to
the Grand Canyon, cautiously
asked the railroad agent: "Is the
canyon open on sundays?" A
third woman gazed %curiously at a
group of naked MOki Indian chill
dren, who scampered away at the
approach of strangers and ran up
ladders with the agility of mon
keys, their bronze skins %glistening
in the sun. Then she said; "They
look like fried cupids."

Pninless Dentistrv.

When a Chinaman wants to
have a tooth drawn he feels no
nervous apprehension of pain, for
the excellent reason that he
knows his dentist will not infict
any. The latter simply rubs a Sc.
cret powder over the aching tooth,
After about five minutes the pa
tient sneezes and the tooth falls
out, Many attempts have been
made by Europeans to get some
Of this mysterious powder, but nc
one has yet succeeded.

GEORGE EDWARDS
Injured in a Runaway Near Viii
iamsburg.

George Edwards, a negro, employ
ed by George Davis, near Williams
burg, was injured in a runaway acct
dent which occurred near the Gaar
and Shurley farm, north of the city

driving team of horses attached to
a large farm wagon and when near
the Gaar farm the horses became
frightened and ran away Edwards
was thrown from the wagon and
alighted on the ground in such po-
sition as to break his right leg just
above the knee. A number of peo-
pie driving along the road found Ed
wards lying on the ground and they
summoned the city ambulance.
Driver Livensberger removed the in

Women Ask For Army Canteens.

Washington, D. c., Dee. 15.-In
accordance with the unanimous vote
taken recently at the meeting Of the
Army and Navy League, a petition
was presented to the war department
asking that the canteen be re-estab-

through the efforts of the Woman s

ruary, 1901, the women of the army

that the omve for its re-establish-

"GREEN SICKNESS"

The unhealthy complexion
of green sickness is changed
TO the rosy, blush of good
health by SCOTS Emulsion.
Green sickness is one Of
the forms of blood disease
found in young women. The
change from girlhood to wo-
manhood often upsets the
nervous system, weakens di-
gestion and throws the blood
making organs out of gear.
SCOTS Emulsion puts new
heart into pale girls. 1t tones
up the nervous and digestive
system, and feeds the blood.
1t IS a natural tonic.
Remember that 80 per cent.
of these cases go on into con-
sumption unless prevented.
SCOTS Emulsion prevents
consumption.

DON'T PARADE HARD LUCK.
Hard Sense, If Persisted In, Will Over.
come Hard Luck.

A very keen politician going abroad
for an extended tour advertised for a
ran to relieve him of the smaller wOr-
ries of travelling. He reduced the ap-
plicants to one, and was about to COM
plete the negotiations when the for
tInate person began to tell him of his
career, his ambitions, opportunities
and misfortunes-a genuine hard-luck
story. The politician listened for a
while, and then suddenly interposed:
81 find that l do not want you," and
when pressed for his reason, replied: Il
never hire bad-luck people. especially
the kind who talk about It."
There seems to be an injustice in this.
and there doubtless is. At the same
time this politician was a Judge of men,
or he would not have been a successful
politician. Most persons who have
achieved success are obliged to listen
TO bad-luck stories despite their efforts
to avoid them. The main reason the
modern merchant or manager protects
himself with guard of doOrkeepers
and ante-rOOms is to escape callers who
want to take up his time by narratives
of their misfortunes.
Every large center of population has
its army of bad-luck sufferers. and
among them are men of education,
men who are almost. but not quite,
strong enough to reach success. Their
point Of view is out of compass; their
bearings are wrong; their attitude is
that some one who has succeeded must
make amends for their own shortcom-
ings. These unfortunates are probably
the most hopeless persons in the world
-hnnnlaSS not nnrh in their
ideas as in the possibilities of their
reformation. When a man places his
own inadequacy on ill-luck he is not
worth anything to anybody-not even
to himself.
Luck is the tide, nothing more. The
strong man rows with it if it makes
toward his port. He rows against 1t il
It flows the other way. Fair or foul
food or ebb. he rows. And the world
has very little time to waste on the
man who complains that the tide did
not turn at every bend to suit his
oourse.-London Post

BEARERS OF BURDENS
NO ONE ESCAPES THE COMMON
LOT.

useless oeV-Fty Makes Cs SC"STos.
No dan Should Play the Baby Act.
Each Ones Burden Fashioned te
His Shoulders.
In some form of other We are all
burden-bearers.. says the "Parscr in
the Washington Post Sometimes the
weight presses hard. And In no re-
spect is there a sharper difference be-
tween men than in the way in which
they carry their respective burdens.
What. then is the secret of successful
burden bearing?
In the last analysis much depends on
one's fund of courage Most of us are
tempted to whimper over our burdens.
We say to ourselves, II not to others: I.
Il can't carry another ounce I've had
sickness in my family for long while,
or I've been suddenly called upon TO
support distant relative" or I'm
bearing more than my share of respOn-
, sibility in the church or in the club,
and can't stand it much longer" Then
before we know it the habit of self
pity grows upon us and instead of fac
ing our burdens like heroes we draw
! back from them like towards.
A beautiful woman, one OF the army
OF "shut-ins," and herself wasting away
with consumption said to me when
boy: God will never put anything
| uIon you too heavy for you to bear. "
! The years have confirmed the truth OF
that prophecy. Certainly no man ought
to play the baby act because of his bur-
dens. He may undertake of his own
volition to do too many things at once,
but the things which are put upon him
to bear ty higher power he ought to
stand up to man-fashion and not be
perpetually whining about them in pub
lie or bemoaning them in private.
1t helps. too. to look upon ones fell
lowmen and realize that each is carry
ing burdens. too. You are not the
scapegoat of the human race while ev-
e!ybody else moves through life dane
ing and singing like a mountain brook.
But very few people have as much to
carry as | do" Doubtless you think so,
but you have probably forgotten the ia
BILE about the oldtime monarch who,
weared with the grumDling of his sub
jects, at last bade them all to assemble
on a certain day at a certain place,
bringing each his own greatest burden.
When they had come together he COM
manded that all the burdens be massed
In one great pile.
Then by lot he selected one man to
help himself from the pile to the bur-
den which seemed to him the lightest
and most agreeable. After walking
around the pile and looking carefully
at all the other burdens, he selected the
very one he had brought. So did No. 2
and No. 3. and SO on through the list.
Finally all went silently home with
their old burdens. but with contented
hearts. There is deal of philosophy
ir this ancient tale. You are better off
with your own burden than you would
be with your neighbors. 1t was fash
toned for your shoulders. And the time
may come when you may even be fond
of it.
