His Good Fortune Fatal.

Tt is possible to live long in melan-
choly and to die swiftly from Joy.
So it has proved with Paris car
penter named Fermet. He had worked
for years in a chronic state of melan-
choly, aggravated by want of money,
and all the circumstances seemed to
point to long continuance of this
condition of things, when suddenly,
and quite outside the poor fellows
expectations, there came to him the
news the other morning that he was
the possessor by bequest of the to
him large sum of $4,000.
Fermet almost went frantic with
delight His nerves stood the recur-
renee of thrills all day, but in the
evening he got among the, Long
champs cafes and was relating his
luck for about the twentieth time
when he fell dead.

Piu That Selected Church Site,

Most Lancashire cyclists are famil-
lar with Winwick, a village between
Leigh and Warrington, surrounded by
good roads, and no doubt many of
these wheelers have been struck with
the curious efhgy Of a pig carved in
the tower of Winwick church.
It is said that when the church was
being built a pig moved the founda-
ton stone three times and at last al
lowed the stone to remain on the
spot where the church now stands. An
effgy was therefore placed in the
church tower: The words t'Winwick, :" :
uttered with a nasal. twang; resemble
the grunt of a pig, and this is also
said to give the village:1its. name: -

Skunks are the farmers friends, ac-

department of Agriculture, and deserve
to be cultivated rather than destroyed,
says the Pittsburg Distapch.
The experts Of this bureau have
found that the skunk Stunned and

rank ahead Of the red-headed wood
pecker, barnyard fowls and meadow

an animal regarded as worthy only of
the price Of Its pelt or the lard Its fat
would produce.
Now the biological survey insists that
when field is overrun with grasshop-

in the Infested area. The skunk will do
the rest.
While skunks are not animals to be
handled with lmpunitly, herd of do

The English government has been en-

costly national toys Instead of selling
lot Of obsolete warships to recruit the
navy Of some second-rate power the
government has chosen to knock them
down, guns and all, under the auction
eer's hammer, to be broken up by the
purchasers. Among these pretty ma
tional playthings Is the famous first
class battleship Sans Pareil, of 10,47O
tons, which cost $3,O32, ,O65 to build and
was knocked down for $4,000. The
whole lot was sold Off at the same or
greater depreciation from the original
cost. 1t is estimated that the warships
of the nations rapidly become 80 obso-
lete that in twenty years they are fit
only to be broken up for more useful
purposes.

RIGHT THOUGHTS.


By Rev. DR.. Frank oliver Hall.
Think on these things.-Philippians
IS.
What things2 Things that are true,
honest, just pure, lovely, attractive,
virtuous, honorable. Upon these things
says Paul, Let your thoughts dwell"
Thoughts are things as much as
brick walls and paved streets are.
There is such thing as insanitary
thinking as surely as there Is such a
thing as insanitary plumbing. There
is mental atmosphere conducive to
health as much as sunshine and fresh
air, and there is miasma Of the soul
which Is as deadly as the malaria of
Dismal Swamp.
To select spiritual dwelling place
where the atmosphere Is heavy with
hate and poisonous with passion; to
pull up the shutters Of despair and ex-
clude the sunshine Of hope; to close
the windows Of the heart and exclude

A few months ago 1t was announced
that the Italian government had con-

should be an international excavation
of Herculaneum. 1t appears that, on
further consideration, the government
has rejected the proposal, and no for
elgn aid will be accepted for the exca-
walton of these or any other ancient
ruins. This is much to be regretted, as
Italy is not in financial condition to

tion Of the work. Although Hercula-
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1907-09-06

the light of faith and the warmth of
love, is as deadly as il would be to
build ones house in stagnant marsh
or to live in dark, unventilated cellar.
Notice that Paul writes as If men
had the power TO select their own in
tellectual dwelling places. So they
have. Physically most men must dwell
where circumstances ordain. But the
poorest man may have a dwelling place
for his mind more desirable than the
region in which many a millionaire is
content to reside in an atmosphere of
the soul filled with unclean odors.
Every man has within himself the
power to change his mental dwelling
place. The normal man has power to
direct his thoughts as he has power to
direct his hand. By the exercise of
such power he may win success, char
acter and Righteousness.
The mind is master of the body. Ex-
pertinent demonstrates that thought
pumps the blood into the head or hands
or feet according as one directs his
mind, and that emotions, controllable
By the will, may refresh or poison the
physical system as they are good or
bad.
Paul has given us not-only the secret
of health, but the secret of happiness.
Not the dwelling place of the body,
but the dwelling place of the thoughts,
determines whether ones life shall be
filed with joy or with misery. Some
Of the most miserable people live in
mansions, dine sumptuously and dress
luxuriously. Some Of the happiest
The difference is entirely mental.
One man Is miserable in spite Of his
| fine physical circumstances another
is happy in poverty because of his
mental dwelling place. Moreover, Paul
indicates here the road to success.
More people fail to achieve their
| worthy ambitions because they culti-
vate wrong mental habits than for any
/ OlucI CuuSc WudlcNtI.
Life is full of splendid opportunities
| for the man who will seize them, and
all the forces of the universe help on
the man whose mind dwells in faith
and courage and confidence and indom-
table hope; and all the forces Of the
| universe set against the man who
,dwells in mental atmosphere of
doubt and dependency, suspicion of
himself and his fellow man.
Finally, thought means comfort.
What you do depends upon what you
think. Conduct is first in the mind,
afterward in the body. Beware of
wrong thinking. Beware of holding
evil pictures before the Imagination.
Do not play with evil even in your
thoughts, for what you think will reg
lister itself ultimately and inevitably
in what you do.
On the other hand, one can overcome
all the evils with which his inner life
is beset by exercising the will in the
direction of right thinking. If you
would do the things you ought to do
and leave undone the things you ought
not to do, then look to your thoughts
and in whatsoever things are true,
honest, just, pure, lovely, attractive,
virtuous, honorable, there let your
| thoughts dwell.
