To win without danger is to win
without glory. You are a great man,
but how am l to know it il fortune
gives you no opportunity of showing
your virtue? You can judge OF, pilot
in a storm, of soldier in q battle,
How can I know with how great a
spirit you could endure poverty il you
overflow with riches? How can l tell
with how great firmness you could
bear up against disgrace, dishonor and
public, hatred If you grow old TO the
sound 'of applause, if popular favor
cannot be alienated from you and
seems to flow to you by the natural
bent of mems minds? How can ]
know how calmly you would endure to
be childless If you see all your chill
dren around you? have heard what
you said when you were consollng 9th
ers. Then 1 should have seen whether
you could have consoled yourself,
whether you could have Forbidden your
self to grleve. Do not, l beg you,
dread those things which the immortal
gods apply to our minds like spurs.
Misfortune is virtues opportunity.

The Vice of Excess.

If we carry our work or play to ex-
tremes. nature will present q bill for
the. excess. Moderate rowing is bene-
fetal to the lungs, yet more than one
professional oarsman has died of con-
sumption. Physicians are familiar
with the irritable heart OF young ath-
letes and soldiers. The pulse Is rapid
and irregular, with palpltation, show
ing that the circulatory apparatus has
been strained. Races ruin nine-tenths
of our thoroughbred horses before they
reach maturity The attempt to break
a record has ruined many young man.

Rigors Of Alpine Winter.

The situation In Switzerland. owing
to snowstorms. is much worse than is
revealed by the scant kilograms icav.
ing the country. The state of things
has rarely been SO bad at this time OF
year.
The uplands already lie two yards
deep under snow. and the mountain
villages Of Simplon and other villages
are absolutely cut OF from the rest
of the country. An attempt has been
made in the legislature to induce the
government to keep these passes open
all the year, but the cost was declared
to be prohibitory.
From Berne in the beginning of the
week several diligences were long
overdue. and their arrival was await.
ed with anxiety. A number OF peas.
ants who had gone with cattle from
the valleys to the uplands had also
been caught, and were quite unable
to descend, while efforts to reach them

lry treatment cannot be relied upon
70 euro nor even to give relief. Some
1octors will say that II person Is
subject to these headaches there Is
aoil.iny that can be done TO prevent
.heir recurrence.
Nervous headaches, rs well as neu.
ralgia. are caused by lack OF nutrition
tho nerves are starved. The only
way to feed the nerves is through the
blood and II is in this way that DR..
Williams Pink Pills have accom-.
plished SO many remarkable cures.
Mrs. Addic Merrill. of 80 Union
Street. Auburn. Me-. says: For
years I suffered from nervous head
aches. which would come on me every
ave or six weeks and continue for
several days. The pain was SO severe
Tor three or four days csch time. II
was particularly intense over my right
eye. I tried medicines but got no re-
lief. I mad no appetite and when
the headache passed away felt as II
had been sick for a month. My
blood was thin and I was pale, weak
and reduced in weight.
II read about DIR. Williams Pink
Pills In a paper and decided to try
them. first noticed that they be-
gan to give me an appetite and I
commenced TO gain in weight and
color. My headaches stopped and
have not returned and I have never

of New York city almost eager for q

on San Francisco and no move will be
made until we get orders from President
Small.
Our grievances in New York are i'm
portsnt and we have great complaint
because the nine employees who, we
claim, we're discharged for unionism,
have not been given hearing.
However, 1t is not probable strike
will be called in New York independent

They found on the ground ahead OF

OHESTERMAN AND KO1NER AT
ODDS

There is friction in the Department OF
Agriculture in Richmond, due to the
success which has attended the efforts of
Commissioner George w. KOiner to for
ward the movement to get farm laborers
to come to this country. During the
absence of Mr.. Koiner, L. B. Chester
man, the chief clerk, was placed in
charge of the Office, and he carried out
the orders of the board. Some troubles
occurred between Koiner and Chester
man, and it is known that KoiDer in-
tended to remove Chesterman from Office.
While Mr.. KOiner was last in Europe
steps were taken to reorganize the depart
ment, especially when it became known
that Chesterman was to be displaced.
The executive committee net last We'd
nesday at the Inside Inn, Norfolk, and
framed plan of reorganization, which
cared for Chesterman and elected him
to the Office of secretary treasurer Of the
board. The statutes fix Koiner's duties,
and he was empowered to choose his clerk
The action OF the board makes Chester
man the peer of Koiner. Hereafter all the
reports are to be from the Board of Agri-
culture and not from the Department of
Agriculture. The board is said to have
express d an opinion that KOiner had
more work than he could do, and it is
understood to have been the desire TO
relieve him of most Of the work and to
have some OF the duties performed by a
man who will be directly responsible to
the board.
