An interesting little story Of the origin
OF the slang word kicker" as applied
20 a fault-hnder. is going the rounds.
It seems the word originated in the
mines, where II was necessary. IN one
narrow channel. for men 70 lie on their
backs and kick the coal barges along
70 the point where machinery could be
employed TO propel them.
These men naturally complained OF the
hardships Of their toil. and I'm this way
the word came into general use.
It might be well for the great army
Of ''lzickers" In the world 20 stop and
realize what the toll OF the original
kicker was. and compare il TO their
own lot; possibly such a comparison
might turn their protest TO a prayer OF
thanks. II is IN the contemplation OF
his more unfortunate fellow beings that
many cOmplainer becomes a philOsO-
pher. Not long ago 1 met and talked
with a talented young woman who has
passed through much trouble and vari-
Gus hardshiDs
She felt a certain pride in the fact
that she had just begun to recover from
n severe attack OF nervous prostratiOn,
and could think and talk, Of nothing but
her sorrows.
II ldCtIud friend tried TO lead ner
mind away from her own woes 20 other
topics she became distract and soon
absented herself TO indulge In medita-
uon- And this meditation was always
retrospection, and went no further back
than 70 happier days gone. If It reached
forward 1t went no further than 10 a
sad morrow Unconsciously to herself
the young woman was devoured by self
love. She had become so absorbed in
her own life that she lost sight Of the
lives OF ten thousand other people fifty
foid more sorrowful than her own.
When told this truth she demurred,
saying; But ii is the sorrow aud dis
aster my troubles brought to other lives
which has so crushed me. do not
suffer for myself alone"
het these others were intimately con-
nected with herself. and that is only a
larger selnshaess.

R. c.. Dunn, defeated republican can

columns of his paper, the Princeton
Union, today. The statement has the
expected tone of bitterness toward his
opponents, and the only surprise is the
direct attack on Governor Van SAINT
and Judge L: W. Collins. Mr.. Dunn
charges them with having led the
lican party who opposed him. His
statement in full is as follows: -.... d

spoke no word in public or private de-
