EFFECTS OF EVIL TEMPER.
The Man or Woman Who Is swayed
by Passion Is Bound to Be
Loser Always.

One Of the most desirable things In
life is for every person to learn to
control his temper. There is seldom
anything to gain, but rather everything
to lose, when one permits himself to
be sWayed by passion under any cir
cumstance. It is thus that friends are
lost, enemies made, bad situations ag-
graVated, endless misery created and,
occasionally, the direct tragedies en-
acted. Of course there are times when
one may derive for the moment a GER
tain enjoyment in license of expressing
exactly what he feels, but most surely
must it be followed by a reaction OF
regret. Indeed, If serious person, thu
probability is that on becoming calm
again, after the fit has passed away,
he will be ashamed of his foolish con-
made of himself: he viii realize, down
IN his heart, that not right away, If
ever again, can he occupy as strong
position, socially, as before the out

MADE HER HUSBAND GREAT
Mrs. John A. Logan Has Public and
Private Record of Which She
May Be Proud.

Mrs. John A. Logan knows person
ally every national character of impor
lance from President Roosevelt to the
smallest grand army post commander.
Mary Simmerson Cunningham was
only II years old when. in 1856, she
became the bride of John A Logan,
then prosecuting attorney of Gallatin
county, Illinois. and a hero of the
Mexican war while yet in his teens
Her father, by appointment of Presi-
dent Pierce, was registrar of the land
Office of that county, and she had left
her studies at st. Vineent's convent,
Kentucky, to become her fathers
assistant, and there it was that the
black eagle of Illinois met and wooed
her.
While it has never been argued that
Gen. Logan was anything but a brave
man, yet not many persons know that
his wife deserves the greatest of credit
for the record made by him.
Few women in this country dis
played greater personal bravery dur
ing the civil war than she did, for it
was her ambition that her handsome
husband should become famous. She
set the example at her own home by
her courageous deeds, of which shs

suit that he would go into the next

SURE CURE FOR THE BLUES

any longer, the way to cure the hues

battle with renewed spirit and dar-
ing
The first money Gen. Logan sent
home out of his pay his wife spent
toward the purchase of a home, and
when he returned from the war she
handed him the deed for a house and
ten acres of land, bought from the saw
ings of the remittances which he had
made.
The famous saying, during and after
the war: Here's your mules was
original with Mrs. Logan Her broth
er-in-laW had a fine pair of mules, and
one day he went to Mrs Logan and
said he would bet them against $500
that her husband would come over to
the democratic side. Mrs. Logan took
the bet without her husbands knowl-
edge and won, and with the general
drove all over Illinois, stumping the
state. Everywhere they were greet
ed with the cry: Here's your mules"

The Boston Globe says that Mrs
Logan is charming woman to meet.
Added to the cultivation of life spent
among famous people is the talent of
native genius, and the two have SO
blended that she ranks easily among

The deep love she eVinced for her hus-

are the products of the earth's harvest

in itself to contain the whole of the

are the farm products of every coun-

heaps Of corn, made opulent with milk
and honey and butter, cotton-seed Oil
and cotton, tobacco, sugar cane, and
fruit. There are towers and pagodas
and pictures and panoramas in corn
