A man went into New York drug

a pink powder into the scales.

"A dimefulr calculated the man.
What kind Of system of measure

''It isn't new" replied the clerk,
"and it is very simple. Just take a

dose. You couldn't get 1t any more

CHOOSING our own rRousLEa
Writer Looks at Chronic 6others In q
New Way.

We are apt to quarrel with our
troubles under the mistaken idea that
they have been set upon us and not
realizing that we have all along un-
consciously been appropriating them
to ourselves. Every one has a choice
Of troubles, and 1t depends largely
upon himself as to the ones he shall
select. This being SO. let us take
thought of tomorrow, that we may
suffer as we choose and not blindly.
There is set of married troubles.
and one for bachelors only. Which
will you have? Yours is the choice.
A baby is great trouble. Is It
well to have him? Is it wise to take
him on, or will some other trouble
equally formidable be better for US In
the long run?
Any amount Of trouble may be
caused by too much money. Shall we
run the risk or not?
A kiss has often caused no end of
trouble. And 1t 10 likely to lead to
others.
Let us have patience and take time
to make our selection. The worst of
1t is that by the time we have learned
the standing of various troubles, their
nature and ways, 1t is too late to
change. And we cannot begin all
over again. So that in the end we
may be saddled with troubles that we
would willingly exchange for others,
If we had only known about them
earlier.-Tom Mason in Puck.

| WIN members of the tribe. There
iare over four millions OF acres of

| Inc decision was favorable to the

The Indians resisted the claim, con
tending that they had never by law
recoEn!zcr property rights on account
OF intermarriage. In passing ON thu
eases the Court of claims held thar
the tribal lands are not communal
