At that time the police went to his

left him to 20 as he would
For several weeks that man wan

insane as the result of dcspOndency
that "csultod from worry over his f.
nanclal affairs. On the day before his
suicide, he was seen on the street with

Doesn't II seem rather queer thing
that man could be allowed to roam

weeks, with the police knowing that
he was insane, and yet no ac ION taken
to place him in a hospital until after
he had ended his life?

Two railroad men have this week
been laid off their runs because OF an
accident that occurred over at Cali
fornia Junction. They were running
freight train out of California juno
tion. A fast passenger was due. from
the other direction, but had not ar
rived, This freight went out on the
track and stood in the way, so that
the flyer bumped into It, Engineer
Wright and Brakeman Wellington
Fox were blamed. In speaking of the
matter, railroad man said:
81 have often seen headlights from
California Junction, in at Missouri
Valley. and not known whether they
were right close or miles away. There
are so many headlights playing in and
out there all the time, that 1t is a
hard matter to keep the various lights
straight. A double track will prob.
ably be built some day to remedy the
congestion of traffic there"

its gold eye, and Mrs. Smiths mother

gross error they were repremanded
by Prin. Slothower yesterday and

''He was man of push; he played

Learn to laugh. A good laugh
is better than medicine. Learn how
to tell a story. A well told story is

The world is too busy to care for
your ills and sorrows. Learn to
keep your own troubles TO yourself
Learn TO stop croaking. If you
cannot see any good in the world,
keep the bad to yourself. Learn to
hide your pains and aches under
pleasant smiles. No one cares
whether you have the earache,

cry. Tears do well enough in

not defer or neglect it, for you will
not pass this way again.
