HERE'S SOME PHILOSOPHY
That IS PRACTICAL

Remember that an easy chair is an es-
sential part OF the strenuous life.
When you are satSfed with your sue
cess, YOU will begin to wither, shrivel up.
IL pays to appreciate and to be appre-
ciated, at the Same time to stay on tho
ground
Statistics show that great mental work
ers are, as a rule. long lived. Activity is
conductive to longevity.
If you talk poverty. think poverty, and
act poverty long enough. you will not be
convinced that there is nothing but pow
erty for you.
Whoever uplifts civilization is rich
though he die penniless, and future gen.
erations will erect his monument
. The most dangerous force in this coun-
try is the fortune with no character be-
hind it
There Is a great difference between
wish and a dogged resolution, between
desiring TO do thing and determining TO
do Il.
You can not hope TO accomplish much
In the world without that compelling en-
thusiasm which stirs your whole being i'm
20 action.
There are a great many semi-invalids In
this country today who could probably
be cured by the right kind OF work. men
tai or physical. because they arc invallds
mentally before they are physically.-Suc-
cess Magazine.

work having been rushed

lcontinued From Page one )

Postmaster Arnold Clarke lives about
o mile from his store, In which the post
office is located; and this morning he in
tuitively arose rather early. After a
hearty breakfast, as is his custom. he
walked rapidly over 10 his store. As he
neared the doorway he was surprised TO
see the tracks OF a team. running close
20 the front door OF the store.
About this time Mr.. Steere arrived from
Chepachet in search OF his property. lie
related It's disappearance TO the post
master. who advised him TO come into
his store and notify Sheriff Wood OF the
dacts.
Together they entered the store. and the
window shades were thrown up. 1t was
quite dark inside for Il was early and
the sun was not shining. The postoffice
Is in a small ell building adjoining the
store: and the safe can be seen from the
middle OF the provision store.
When Postmaster Clarke looked into tho
postoffice he saw that something had
happened; and a closer investigation re-
Vealed the fact that the safe had been
blown open.
Nitro-glycerine Ind been injected be-
tween the door of the safe and the front
moulding The door had been torn open
by the force OF the explosion; and the
Japers and books which Mr.. Clarke kept
there were strewn in confusion about the
floor.

tion.
The tracks of the team were again fol-
lowed in the direction OF Harrisville; but

The sheriff interrogated several resi-
dents of Mapleville, living near the scene
o. the break, and all stated that they
had heard a smothered report early this
morning. but that as IL was not very loud.
n did not disturb them sufficiently TO
wholly awaken them.
IL is the opinion of Sheriff Wood that
more than ono man was concerned in the
robbery, as he thinks IL would have been
next to impossible for one man 90 have

MR.. MOODY WILL
FIGHT STANDARD
OIL COMPANY

Washington Nov. 10-The government \
suit against the Standard oil company is
ftill a matter OF conference between At
torney General Moody and his assistants
and no official announcement need be eX-
pected for several days.
Although there is the strictest official
reticence In connection with the proposed
action OF the department OF justice. IL is
well understood that "A bill in equity will
be filed in a circuit court OF the United
States TO dissolve the Standard oil com
pany as a monopoly or combination I'm re-
straint of trade. Where the bill will be
filed is not yet known. but II Will proba-
bly, be either in Chicago or St Louis.
IL was believed until yesterday after
noon that an important announcement re-
iating 10 the contemplated course OF ac-
tion by the department Of justice would
be made last night, or at least today or
Monday. The indications now are that
nothing will be forthcoming from the at
torney generals office before the latter
part OF next week.
Attorney General Moody spent several
hours In HIS office yesterday and the
greater part of the time was occupied In
considering the Standard oil matter. In
reply 20 questions he said he must recline
20 make a statement covering any point
OF the case until the whole matter was
ready for promulgation through the reg
uar legal channels. lie intimated that
the government would not act for several
DAYS and probably not before the latter
part OF next week.
Attorney General Moody said yesterday
afternoon that he expected to continue his
conferences with the special attorneys OF |
the government during the next few days. |
The principal brief i'm the case has been |
prepared and the matter is apparently I'm |
excellent shape for action from the gov
ernment's point of view. but the attorney |
general has been away from Washington /
and he wishes 10 review carefully every |
phase OF the matter before allowing the |
case TO go to the courts.
