lowed by the tellers and Mr.. Ramsey given
but the 81, $40.

CHEER UP.
There Are Millions of People Much
Worse on Than You Are.


Worse on Than You Are.
Cheer up. The world is taking your
photograph. Look pleasant. OF course
you have your troubles, troubles you
cannot tell the policeman. n whole
lot of things bother you, of course.
Business worries or domestic sorrows,
II may be, or what not. You find life
a rugged road whose stones hurt your
feet. Nevertheless cheer up.
1t may be your real disease is sell
fishness-ingrown selfshness. Your life
is too self conferred. You imagine your
tribulations are worse than others
bear. You feel sorry for yourself-the
meanest sort of pity. 1t is pathetic
illusion. Rid yourself Of that and cheer
up.
What right have you to carry pic
ture of your woebegone face and flu
nereal ways about among your fellows,
who have troubles of their own? II
you must whine or sulk or scowl, take
car and go to the woods or to the
unfrequented lanes.
Cheer up. Your Ills are largely I'M
aginary. If you were really on the
brink Of bankruptcy, or If there were
no thoroughfare through your sorrows,
you would clear your brows, set your
teeth and make the best of 1t.
Cheer up. You are making hypo-
thetical case out of your troubles and
suffering from q self inflicted verdict
Won are borrowing trouble and paying
q high rate of interest.
Cheer up. Why, man alive, in ten
minute walk you may see q score OF
people worse Off than you. And here
you are digging your own grave and
playing pallbearer into the bargain
Man alive. you must do your work

STAND FATHERS FIRM.
Prediction That They Will
Prevent Tariff Revision.
ARE NOT BEING HARD PRESSED.
President Does Not Desire 10 Go Con-

Jefferson Bibles-Suited Smoot.

Washington, Jan. II. - ISpecial.l -
Stand pat will win whenever an at
tempt is made TO change the Dingley
law. From the time the proposed re-
vision of the tariff was suggested there
has been vigorous opposition among
members OF congress. Possibly one
fourth of the Republican membership
of congress would favor mild re-
vision on few articles in which their
people are directly interested, but
large majority, If not three-fourths of
the members, are against touching the
tariff. They are the men who make
themselves felt, for they are assertlve,
while the others are only passively FOR
action. The stand patters are deter
mined. and they are not being pressed
hard by the president. He does not
wish to go contrary to the wishes or
congress in this matter, which makes
II comparatively easy for the antire-
visionists to have their way.
Avoiding a Dispute.
Senator Dryden of New Jersey has
introduced bill granting portion or
the abandoned Redbank military reser-
walton to Gloucester county. \. j., FOR
q public park to commemorate the bat
tie of Redbank. The bill recited that
this reservation contains 1.-The relics
and remains Of Fort Mercer OF Revolu-
tionary fame, where General Greene
with a force of about 400 American
troops on Oct. %, 1777, successfully re-
sisted the assault of Count Carl Dunop,
commanding a force Of $500 Hessians.
Senators who have been considering the
measure say that they have no objec-
ton to the bill, but they believe that
they will eliminate the language above
quoted, because the descendants or
Count Dunop or some of the descend
ants of the Hessians may dispute the
figures, and they do not care to have
the statutes Of the United States
brought into q historical controversy.
Dryden will probably get his bill
through, however.

Atlantic mine location on the south

rough looking individual who asked her
II she was the new clerk for the
candy store. When the girl answered
in the affirmative she was seized by
the arm. Her suspicious were aroused,
however, and she refused to proceed
with the man. Inquiring at the rail
road station, the girl learned that the
candy store was mere blind for a
house of questionable character. She
returned home on the next train. Her
story was divulged to a woman on the
train who was attracted by the sobs
of the grieved girl.
