our faintly cherished hopes appear be- fore us as things realized, our small wor- ries as overwhelming ealamities.
 You find yourself awake in the night and your thoughts wander back to some time in your youth when in the presence of those older and wiser you-as you now see it-were guilty of some slight breach in department or of some little offense to good taste in speech, and you dwell upon the condemnation that must have fallen upon you, Ips the morning if what you were dwelling upon so seriously occurs to your mind at all you smile and say to yourself that If your fault was noticed by anybody at the time 1t was too trivial for anyone but you to remember.
 "The night magnifies,' the physician rA- peated. Such things as have mentioned prove it. It is partly due to the silence. but more to ourselves. To account Tor the latter would keep me talking.
 But take 1t for granted that whatever your cause for worry at night, it will look smaller by daylight, and refuse to dwell on it. If your anticipatiohs are pleasant nurse them and you will fall asleep. In the morning you will not be downcast because your magnihed hopes of the night seem unlikely to be real ized"

PRAISE FOR THE MEN WHO
 TOILED IN RESCUE WORK
BY E. p. GAINES.

Now that the first shock of the disas- ter at Yolande has passed and all of the unfortunates have been brought to the surface, those who were on the scene begin 10 appreciate something of the heroism displayed by the rescuing corps.
 Too much cannot be said of the efforts Of c. C. Huckahee, superintendent at Yolande; Jim Hubbard. superintendent at Connellsville, and General Manager Su- livan; but there are three names which deserve more especial mention than any who figured in the gruesome task They are J. M. Gray, state mine inspector; James Hillhouse. and Ed Flynn, assist ant mine inspector
 Ed Flynn was at Bessemer when the news of the disaster reached him. He im- mediately procured conveyance and after hard driving reached Yolande at o'clock, the morning of the 17th
 Twenty-four hours were stretched into turns of 36 and then to 4S without rest or sleep. Endurance and perseverance that seemed superhuman where displayed by these men in their efforts of rescue. Trained as they were to such ealamities their every act speeded the recovery of those who had lost their lives in the ill-fated mine. a-' .tei asas
 Newspaper men, eager for something in the nature of explanation of the cause of the accident, continually piled the three with requests for some expression opinion as to it's probable cause, but, as they automatically expressed them selves they were working to recover the dead-the hour rofinvestigationw of would come later

THE NIGHT MAGNIFIES.
Something Worth Knowing For Those
 Who Lie Awake and Worry.

From the Washington Post.
 You have lain awake at night" said a physician, and heard a mouse knawing at the woodwork somewhere down in a kitchen cupboard?'
 His listener nodded.
 How loud did it sound to you-as loud as burglar splintering the door Jambs with a jimmy?'
 Another nod.
 You have been awakened at 1:90 a. m. by the crying of a teething infant next door?"
 A shudder.
 And it sounded like the hoarse mur- murs of mingled ululations of frenzied mob assembled outside to demand some body's blood?'
 Partial collapse.
 Along toward morning you have lis- tened to the thin small voice of a mos quito circulating above your head?" An involuntary slap.
 Did it sound like the screech of a plan ing mill turning out clapboards for a barn?'
 Two mods. "a Would you have minded any of those sounds in the daytime?''
 A shake of the head.
 Now, I have no doubt you think that the seeming loudness of these sounds was
  night. But take another test. You have been in love ?"
 Um-um (without utterance).
 And do you remember how much soft CT and warmer and more thrilling was the touch of your best girls hand as you strolled with her on the way home from singing school at the witching hour of 9.30 D. m. than 1t was when you called in the forenoon to ask if you might es- cort her to the aforesaid vocal exer- cises?'
 An unspoken yum yum
 Was it the night silence that added the finishing touch?" his own question, noting his listener s look of uncertainty. Take another in- stance: You think you know how to write "a little"
 A smile of qualification.
 Well, you find yourself awake at night and thinking. A gem of an idea sud denly sparllles in the darkness. You sur round it with epigrams, and while elab- orating the setting you fall asleep What does this jewel amount to in the morn- ing?'
 sigh.
 "Thcfe you are. You recall the idea and some of the epigrams and little of the setting, and all of it so commonplace that you wouldn't think of trying to make anything presentable out of it.
 "The fact is" the physician went on, ''the night magnifies At night our pleas ures are more keen. our pains more dis tressing, our small successes are tri- umphs, our little failures are disasters,

 He was talking to some people who intended to go down the Bright Angel trail.
 You must understand" said Jim, that when you get down to the bottom of the canyon and reach the shore of the Colo rado river it is very warm, desperately hot. You cannot imagine how hot 1t is. Why, I'll give you my word, I have been down there when it was so hot it melted the wings off the flies
