ABOUT TELLING YOUR TROUBLES

Try to follow that bit Of advice
which says: Train yourself to keep
your troubles to yourself. Don't pour
them out upon acduaintances or
strangers. 1t isn't their fault if you
have troubles, and they don't want to
hear of yours because they have so
many of their own. And besides. here
is point to eonsider-if you insist on
telling other people of your grievances
they will at length come to dislike and
shun you, because thereby you prevent
them from telling their troubles
Keeping things to ones self helps
wonderfully to strengthen ones soul
to bear the little trials of life more pa
tiently. When we tell them they be-
come exaggerated in our own eyes and
grow harder to bear. says the Guidon
There are two to whom we may tell
all our troubles and be perfectly sure
of sympathy and comfort and strength
to bear them; we may pour them into
the ear of our confessor and into the
sacred heart of Our Divine Lord.

The Beauty of Plain Girls.

Circumstances are kind to the plain
woman in forcing her to lose all self
consciousness. She is so occupied in
trying to make up for the lack of beau
ty and to cultivate all other qualities
that she loses sight of self, thus gain
ing thai most charming of all qualities,
unconscious. She is generally unselfish.
She does not talk much. She listens.
She brings out the best that is in other
people, and she almost invariably
dresses wei. She has her dark hours,
for what woman does not long for
beauty? 1t is not easy work, for no
woman is born with all the charms
which the plain woman is bound to
strive for. Envy hatred and malice
must be unknown to her. She dare not
let herself indulge in envy She does
not know hatred, and she is too wise to
traffic in malice. Very often the plain
woman possesses that most desirable
of all qualities-tact. If she is tactful
she is ahead of all competitors; even
beauty is distanced. So the plain wo-
man need not feel that she is out of it
in life's color scheme. She may, if she
cares to exert herself, be very lovely
touch of brightness in the general
graveness.

ducking stool and whipping post,
made to the order of the vestry in

In time the ducking stool gave place

scoLpINe WIVES, BEWARE!

There seems to be quite a reaction in
America on the subject of legal uun-
ishments. President Roosevelt has sug-
gested the revival Of the whipping post
for men who beat their wives, and now
it is stated that the ducking, or duck
ing. stool is to be used in Jersey City
to punish quarellsome women.
The ducking stool is a very old Eng
lish remedy for an unbridled tongue,
and its use is even recorded in the
Doomesday Survey of the city of Ches-

thing in ancient days for scolds to be
dipped in the village pond.

VISION OF THE MOON AND SEA.

Come said the moon to the mighty sea,
Invincible by man,
Wrecker of ships
Stormer of cliffs,
Laughter at works of man,
Wearer away of curving shores
Ever since time began,
Ever the chief Of jewellers
In the carnival of storm.
Caring naught for the princelesS wealth
Deep down in fathomless depths:
NavieS. Christian or heatnen-
What odds to the creedless sea?
Come said the distant, wandering
The storm sea Obeyed,
FaWning the f1OOd-time heard that voice
Soft and distant and still,
No matter how soft distant,
Twas the voice of a regnant WILL
SO the tide fawned tremulouS to the CAL,
Casting its power aside,
Like Il faded flower i'll a lady's bower
After it's hour Of pride.
Come" said the moon to the fawning sea-
The fawning sea obeyed.
Co said the moon to the obedlent sea-
1t waited other word,
The ebb-tide skunk away forthwith
Soon as the voice heard.
For above all power and above all might
Is the one great Power Of all,
Wherein all lesser powers are held.
Like grains of sand in mighty hand.

LAST OF A FAMILY OF GIANTS.
Death of Thomas Lifts, One of Ten Re
markable for Their Strength.

The last of the old Lifts family. one
of the most remarkable families in New
York, has gone with the passing away
of Thomas Lifts. who died in Monti-
cello, in that state. He died suddenly
from the effect of the extreme heat while
at work in a field near his home. He
was so years of age, and for the last
half century had been one of the most
, commanding and prominent figures in
Sullivan county because Of his size and
wonderful strength. He was sergeant
in the One Hundred and Forty-third
regiment of New York volunteers. and
was the strongest man III the regiment.
Every member of the family of ten, five
males and five females, was as strong
as a giant and the wonderful feats of
strength performed by them won for
them almost national fame.
Thomas Lifts, while attending the old
time logging and haying bees, on differ
ent occasions had been known to pick
up barrel full of cider and drink from
the bunghole. A brother carried a barrel
of pork on his back a mile without rest

out OF her way, and then, unassisted
and with ease, lifted the iron to it's place
on the vehicle
In his young days one of the brothers
was considered an expert wrestler, and

tier of the city of New York. When he

continue to suffer rather than submit
to examinations which so many physi-
clans propose in order to intelligently
treat the disease and this is the rea-
son why SO many physicians fail to
cure female disease.
This is also the reason why thousands
upon thousands of women are CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass. To her they can confde every
detail of their illness, and from
her great knowledge, obtained from
years of experience in treating female
ills, Mrs. Pinkham can advise women
more wisely than the local physician.
Read how Mrs. Pinkham helped Mrs.
L. G. Willadsen, of Manning, Ia. She

EDIDSON IS STILL MODEST.
Tells Facts About Electrical Propulsion
He Invented.

In announcing that he had solved the
problem of the electric propulsion of
auto vehicles Thomas A. Edison took
occasion to discredit recent extravaganza
assertions attributed to him concerning
an electric storage battery, which he
says he has perfected. The report said
the battery might run pleasure vehicle
at a rate of twenty miles an hour for d
distance of $50 miles. The best he would
guarantee on a single charge was 100
miles.
The troubles with the battery I have
been trying for two years to remedy
have been purely mechanical said Mr..
Edison. They have been due chiefly
to the swelling of the nickel element. l
have succeeded in reducing the weight
OF the battery to about forty pounds per
horse power. With proper motor and
wagon equipment we can take the cells
and operate an ordinary delivery wagon
at So pei cent. of the cost Of maintain

power to auto trucks for commercial
purposes and that he can drive two

INFLUENCED BY DREAM.
Sells Out Business on Account of Strange
Fancy

A dream has reduced the business in
terests of New Albany, KY, by one.
John J. Scharf, for years one Of the CEN
trail figures in the market interests of
the town, has sold out his business and
retired. He was possessed of a mania
that before the year was out he would
bleed to death because of a dream to
that effect. and, believing that an ounce
of prevention was worth pound of
cure, he took the step which he says will
put him beyond the reach of the grim
reaper, who, he firmly thinks, is trying
to add another victim to his list via the
bleeding route. Recently Mr.. Scharf
was separating pound of steak from its
natural belongings He was still think
ing of his dream when the knife slipped
and cut his hand. He thought again of
the dream, rushed frantically to a doc
tor and had the hand dressed. Then he
made up his mind that a live pauper was
better than dead butcher. so a new
