BE willing TO Be Nervous.

To argue with nervous anxiety,
either In ourselves or In others. is
never helpful. Arguing with nervous
excitement Of any kind is like rub-
bling a sore. 1t only irritates 1t. 1t
does not take long to argue excited or
tired nerves into Inflammation, but It
Is long and difficult process to allay
the Inflammation. 1t is a sad fact
that many people have been argued
into long nervous illnesses by would
be kind friends. whose only intention
was to argue them out of illness.
Even the kindest and most disinterest-
ed friends are apt to lose patience
when they argue, and that, to the tired
brain which they are trying to re-
lieve, Is a greater irritant than they
realize. The radical cure for nery-
Gus fears is to drop resistance to pain
full circumstances or conditions. Re.
sistance is unwillingness to endure
and to drop the resistance is to be
strongly willing. This vigorous Twill

1t appears from a tabulated state
ment Of the results Of the annual tar
get practice issued by the Navy De
partment that the gunners Of our rieet
have attained a very high degree Of
accuracy. This Is particularly true
with regard to guns OF FIVE inch caliber
and upward. The North Atlantic and
the Asiatc 'battleship squadrons have
distinguished themselves by records OF
S7.27 per cent and 1874 per cent re-
spectively. The cruisers have not
done 20 well as the battleships. The
explanation 10 simple enough. The
larger vessel constitutes a steadier gun
platform in a seaway, and, its guns
being placed higher, a more perfect
range II secured. This conclusion 10
emphasiEed by the fact that the gun
practice Of the torpedo hotillas was
very unequal.

the pleasures Of boating and bathing
fresh water is one Of the great neces-

and yet removed from anything that

TAGoARTs POLITICAL RISE.
Began Life at Lunch-Ro DOM Pie Coun-
ter in Indianapolis.

Began Life at a Lunch-Room Pie Conn
ter in indianapolis.
Tom Taggart, Of Indianapolis, the
chairman Of the Democratic National
Committee, was born In Waterford,
Ireland, in 1856. On coming to this
country he went to Ohio first, and then
to Indiana with his parents, and when
he was old enough to cut a slice OF
bread straight he was given a position
at the pie counter Of lunch room at
the indianapolis station. 1t was only
a question Of time until he was mana
ger Of the restaurant and he was mix
ing In the politics Of his ward. He
was popular with the travelling public,
and that is how he came to be backed
as the proprietor Of a small hotel near
the Indianapolis depot He watched
his business closely and became init
mately acquainted with the travelling
public. Their comfort was his aim In
life. Naturally, travelling men went
that way. Taggart made money, and
with more money he became more am
bilious to get more. He espied the au-
ditorship Of Marion County, with the
juicy $4,000 Of fees each year.
Marion County, however, was hope
lessly Republican, and it had been
since the death Of Lincoln. Taggart
set up his delegates, however, and at
the convention the leaders were quite
willing that he should try his hand.
That was in 1886, and only thirty
years had passed over his head. Tag

Foreigners who visit this count

Foreigners who visit this country
often express surprise at what seems

how Europeans get along without it.

A fair share Of the frictions Of do.
nestle life comes from the effort to
make over temperamental peculiari-
ties. The tortoise instructs the hare
In persistence. the hare lectures the
tortoise on speed. and each irritates
the other without good result. The
mother wisher her daughter to love
reading; the daughter prefers sewing.
The father urges his son to follow the
law; the son is more interested in the
chemistry Of soils than In writs and
torts. Family heartaches and disap.
pointments ensue from mere honest
difference In taste Ben Jonson found
fault with Shakespeare because 1t was
said Of him that in his writing, what
soever he penned, he never blotted out
line. Said Jonson, would he had
blotted a thousandw But Shakespeare
lives very prosperously without the
blots, and the world cares little for
Jonson's devout wish, and has forgot
ten much of his work. On the other
hand, to have hindered Pope from his
painstaking correction and revision
would have been to cheat the world of
many Of its household words. So 1t is
the wise mother and the patient
daughter who accept the great funda-
mental fact that in character and abil-
ity there are diversities Of gifts. The
hen, the song-sparrow and the eagle
each has its place in the economy Of
nature. but any one Of them would be
q sad failure in the role Of the others.
