In a town in Maine where there
we're frequent revival meetings at one
time Mr. Cole was preacher. There
was a man named Wlnslow who did
not know as much as some whole
families, but was always first to "get
pious" at these revival meetings
There was also man by the name OF
Voter, fine and pious man.
During one meeting Winslow and
Voter had a quarrel. Winslow said If
Voter got up to speak he should speak
also. Voter got up, and Winslow
jumped up, and Elder Cole, to stoE
the rumpus, commenced to sing Tell
Me the Old, Old, Story" Winslow
shook his fist in Elder Coles face and

CHOOSING OUR OWN TROUBLES
Writer Looks at Chronic 5others in a
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 I'M
consciously been appropriating them
to ourselves. Every one has a choice
Of troubles, and IT 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 bllndly.
There is a set OF married troubles,
and one for bachelors only. Which
will you have? Yours Is the choice.
A baby is a great trouble. Is It
we'll 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?
Amy 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 it is 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, It is TOO late to
change. And we cannSt 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
