JACKSONPORT.


 Elmo Riddell and Miss Mamie were in Newport Tuesday.
 We can see a great improve ment in our town lately.
 The steamer Welcome departed for Elgin Tuesday evening.
 s. w. Mcfarland and family were visiting in Jacksonport Sunday.
 Miss Mamie Riddell visited Miss Carrie Strider last Friday and Saturday.
 Jacksonport people seldom drive to Newport on Sunday. Our town isn't so bad after all.
 The Jacksonport Singletree Company's plant is busy and you can hear the hum of the planer and lathes all over town.
 
 The White River Cooperage Company have built a large new mill shed and are covering it with sheet steel, 5000 square feet, l believe.
 Jacksonport is a great Sunday resort for Newport citizens. They come to the old town in boats, on horseback, in buggies, hacks and carriages.
 The cry of mad dog echoed through our streets Sunday. The citizens were running in all direc- tions. J. M. Gibson directed a few shots in the dogs direction and did considerable damage. John P. Jones, the constable, put on the finishing touches.
 Bro. Jernigan, the presiding elder, preached fine sermon at the Methodist church Sunday night. There was an exception ally good attendance. His sub- ject was the liquor traffic, or the evils of the whisky habit. He made some very good compari- sons.
 The organization of the Jack sonport cornet band is about completed. Ten members to date and two young men con- templating joining. The mem- bers are: Geo. T. Wilkins, John P. Jones, Stinson Robinson, Gus Swear,ngen, Elmo Riddell, F. B. Morgan, R. w. Anderson, Aus tin Massey, D. w. Sayler and w. A. Smart.
 It was my intention to say spring dawned bright and beau tiful and remained so, but To, the black clouds and hard fall of raindrops checked the speech and froze the words up on my lips. 1 was'just beginning to feel poet ical. You know sometimes a person feels that way; a time when it seems good to live in this old world of sorrows and cares. Twill say more on this subject at another time.
 Let us hear from others. So- long. SUNNY JIM.

 With this in mind it is safe to predict that the Japanese will be content to see the negotiations drag along for some days before closing.

Splicing Twine,

It has been said that Henry CLAW
achieved success SO easily that he
quite misunderstood others and over.
estimated himself. But he was eager
to learn the best way to do whatever
he had to do. In "The True Henry
Clay" the author gives an instance of
this:
At fourteen Henry became clerk In
a store IN Richmond, whittier the FAM
lily had removed. Stories are told of
his willingness to do his duty. al
though the work was distasteful to
him.
Once he was reproved by the store.
keeper for wasting too much twine.
Thereafter he saved every scrap he
could get and tied the pieces together.
Again 1t was explained thut using this
sort Of twine might be offensive to GUS
toners, as 1t made the packages look
untidy by reason Of 30 many knots
So he consulted with sailor at Rich
mond, who showed him how to splice
strings with a smooth joint.
From that time he spent his leisure
hours making short pieces Of twine Of
the same size into a continuous cord.
When his employer discovered this he
was 80 much pleased that he had all
twine saved, and turned the task Of
splicing it over to young Henry, with
the result that the young mans enthu-
SiaSm rapidly abated.

Rubbish of all kinds is being written
about the awful strain of modern life
and its disastrous effects upon those
who are forced to dwell within the ltm-
Its of busy civilization, instead OF ny-
ing to a lodge in some vast wilderness.
In fact, there has been 50 much said
by one person and another about the
degeneracy that 10 certain to follow
life lived in the thick OF things that any
number Of men and women are begin
ming to feel sorry for themselves, Feel
ing sorry for yourself, 1t Is worth
while saying, can invest more time and
sympathy with less profit than any
other occupation a man can take up.
Ii man drinks cocktails before each
meal, htghballs between meals, tea and
coffee at regular intervals, smokes nu-
merous strong cigars, eats too much,
10 out in the open air not at all, and
ends his day with bottle Of wine and
a midnight supper, something disagree.
able is coming to him II he will only
keep 1t up long enough. But he need
not lay the result Of his own glut-
tony and abuse of alcohol and tobacco
and other habits Of the sort to civiliza-
ton or to the awful strain Of life in
the twentieth century. The proof Of 1t
lies In decreasing death rate all over
America and Europe. A really degen-
crate race begins to die Quit does
not 60 on living longer and longer. 1t
may be true that there are more men
and women in rest cures than there
used to be-but as there used to be no
rest cures for them to go to, it Is rea-
sonably clear that there are lives be-
ing saved now that had to be given
up heretofore. 1t ig also said that
there are more insane persons than for
merly. Insane persons used to die in
comparatively short time, and COM
paratively few Of them were ever re-
stored to health and usefulness. Many
more used to die before insanity
showed itself who are now preserved.
Statistics Of that kind are generally
misleading, since they take only one
aspect Of the case into account. Men
who do not eat and drink to excess.
who make play a part Of their work
and who stick to life In the open when
ever they get a chance, need not worry
about stress and strain In modern or
any other life.
