Generous NInrrin.

The man who likes to look in shop
windows stopped at the sight of a large
pitcher in the center Of a collection Of
andirons, pewter porringers, brass can
dlesticks and iron skillets.
The pitcher was adorned with a head
of George Washington, decidedly askew
and none too clear. At the side of this
treasure stood a placard bearing these
words:
"One of the fine genuine George
Washington pitchers, known to be 40
years old"
Preparing for one of his frequent
pleasures, the gentleman stepped into
the antique shop and accosted the deal
er.
Now see here" he said, agreeably
that George Washington pitcher is da-
ted too far back. A hundred and forty
years ago people weren't making George
Washington pitchers. They didn't even
know then that he was going to be the
Father of his Country. You must be
more careful"
Il am the most particular man in this
business" said the old dealer, with dig
nifty. THE man that l bought that
pitcher from told me it had been il
his family since 1850 l thought he
might be exaggerating, and l made ar
allowance of fifteen years. How much
more should you expect me to do?"

two or three times the present popu-
lation of the United States

The fact that 1882 suicides were re-
ported In the United States last year,
figure SURPRISING the total Of any
previous twelvemonth, Is a dark pic
ture, but there's a mildly bright side
to It An expanding suicide rate Is a
part Of the price paid for an advancing
civilization. Suicide follows civiliza-
ton as regularly as trade follows the
flag. And the reason is plain enough.
The more highly organized the social
order becomes the greater Is the num-
Der Of mans wants and desires and the
greater grows the likelihood that If
they are unsatisfied he will prefer
death to continued life. Moreover, as
civilization moves forward the sense of
dlshonor, Of remorse and Of disappoint-
ment becomes keener- these emo
tions frequently incite self-destruction.
Still further, high civilization promotes
delicacy Of nervous organization and
consequently exposes the individual to
mental disorder.

Did you ever try to realize how many
physical, are entirely involuntary and
determined by some previous impress
sion or habit? Do you know that In
the commonest things of life we are
all slaves to habit-such abject slaves
as not even to suspect our slavery?
Can you tell, for instance, whether you
habitually put on the right shoe or the
left shoe first? Can you tell on the
instant which Of the two you have
habitually taken off all your life2
Maybe 1t Is easier for you to realize
that you have been using only one side
of a certain street. Men and women
who walk to their business every day
for years fall into favorite routes that
they follow mechanically. The ordi-
nary housewife must have her sugar
bowl in a certain spot on a certain
shelf or her whole house seems out Of
order. The meal not ready at the regu-
lar time puts the entire family In Ill
temper These are only few Of the
innumerable little habits that make up
nine tenths Of what we call living. Not
an impression, not an emotion, not an
opinion, not a resolution, not an action
Is possible to us that Is not Influenced,
colored and directed by fixed conditions
within ourselves Of body or
mind. You cannot do, or say, or think,
CT feel anything without leaving def
mite mark on the nervous organism
which more or less affects all sue
ceeding action or speech or thought
OF feeling. Nerve and muscle and
brain cell all grow to the modes in
which they have been exercised. If
you are not forming habits in one direc-
ton you are forming them in another ;
all your activities are making channels
in which your energy flows toward
good or evil. Depravity is not an in
heritance, but character formed by
persistent evil habits Vices, at first
like cobwebs, become at last like
cables. Habit works either way with
equal force. A generous deed promotes
succession of generous deeds. Virtue
sWeetenS ana becomes second nature.
Habits are not without their advant-
tages. Many man has freely EN-
ployed his mind in mapping out his
days work while his habit is putting
On his shoes. There are disadvantages
us well. Many a man has hopefully.
planned and nobly striven for high
| success while his habits were drag
ging him to failure. 1t is useless to
try to avoid forming habits. 1t cannot
be done; and, anyway, mere negative
virtue is poor stuff. Better fill your
life full Of good habits. They make
character, and character makes destiny
Bad habits are chains holding us as
risoners. Good habits are like a we'll
made harness, enabling us to do our
work in the world without friction or
waste of energy.

In what James j. Hill, the great rail-
road man, has had to say recently
about the future of this country there
Is an echo of Lord Macaulay's famous
omen Mr.. Hill asks, Where are the
immigrants rushing to our shores to
end up?" and answers, Not on the
land. We have no more to offer them
They must crowd into the cities" Lord
Macaulay said that the real test Of
American institutions would come when
this country should be as densely pop
ulated as Europe. AS a matter of fact,
Lord Macaulay had no reason and
James j. Hill has hardly more reason
to indulge in pessimistic prophecies Of
the future Of this country. 1t is the
opinion Of the best informed students
OF all the conditions Of living here that

Argentinas exports Of wheat for the
calendar year 1905 exceed 100000
bushels, compared with about 93,000,-
900 bushels in 1904, which up to that
time exceeded all previous records. The
new crop is expected to prove much
larger than the last, and exports for
the year may reach 100000 bushels
or so. Evidently that country is un
dergoing a rapid development and may
very soon permanently supersede the
United States in the worlds grain
trade.

1t is well known that a corpse is not

tooth? SO far as we know the point
has not arisen in the courts Of this
country. At Gera, in Germany, how

tooth still belongs to the man after it

It, But the patient also wished to have

A Pleasant Way to Travel

The above is the usual verdict of the
traveller using the Missouri Pacific Rail-
way between the Pacific Coast and the
East, and we believe that the service
and accommodations given merit this
statement. From Denver, Colorado
Springs and Pueblo there are two
through trains daily to Kansas City
and St. Louis, carrying Pullman's lat
est standard electric lighted sleeping
cars, chair cars and up-to-date dining
cars. The same excellent service is
operated from Kansas City and St.
Louis to Memphis, Little Rock and
Hot Springs. If you are going East or
South write for rates and full informa-
ton.

OBITUARY OF JESSIE CHASE.

OBITUARY OF JESSIE CHASE.
After more than three months Of
weary suffering, Jessie May Chase
March 30, 1905. Medical skill and care
full nursing failed to stay the ravages
of disease, still with sOrrOwing hearts
her loving friends did everything In
their power to make her comfortable
until the end; and during her entire
sickness she bore with fOrtitude the
pain and suffering, being very consid-
crate of those who cared for her.
Jessie was born at South Kent, Au-
gust %, 1881. So from babyhood she
has been known by the many friends
who have seen her in the home, tore
or postoffice. After attending the
district school she went some time to
Miss HOpSOn's school in Kent, and
Great Darlington, Mass, from which
she graduated in June 1901. She
taught school acceptably in her native
| town as we'll as in Sherman, but she
found greater delight at home, where
by her loving ministrations she had
become great reliance in the family
circle. Much sympathy is felt for the
bereaved parenrs who are deprived the
love and comfort of her presence in
the home. Her sister, Nina, brother,
Frank, and grandfather, John Chase,
are also left to mourn her loss, as well
| . many uncles, aunts and cousins
Quiet and unaSSumfng in manner, yet
q ways kind and of sterling character,
she had won host of friends, by all OF
whom she will be missed. The fuuer-
al was held at her late home on Sum-
day afternoon, where large number
| Of relatives and friends gathered to
pay their last tribute of respect. DR.
Curtis of Kent, in the absence of MI
Job, was the officiating clergyman, and
Lhe choir from the CONGREGATIONAL
church sand LEAD Kindly Light -
and "Thy Will BE Done" After the
services were over at the home, long
| and sSad procession followed the re.
mains to their last resting place in
Morningside cemetery, Gaylordsville,
| where four cousins, John w. Chase,
Robert Dakin, Charlie Pomery and
John Shepard tenderly laid her away
amid the fragrance Of beautiful flow:
ers, but that was her mortal body.
She still lives on.
The poet Whittier in these lines,
best expresses our thought
''God calls our loved ones, but we lose not
What he hath given;
They live on earth. In thought and deed, a
truly
AS In His heaven.
| Not upon thee or thine the solemn angel
Hath evil wrought
Her funeral anthem Is glad evangel-
| The good die not!''
