DAILY STORY
THE MYSTERIOUS AMMAN.



1t was a long suit that settled the
ownership of the wood lying between
the Scarsdales and the Kirchoifs, and
even then the decision of the court
left the ownership of the timber on the
property uncertain. The Scarsdales
gained the land. title to which would
In law include the timber. but Il kir-
chOfr had at one time held bill OF
sale for the wood, and when the de-
cision came the kirchoT against whom
It was rendered declared that no Scars
dale should ever carry away stick or
wood from the property. He died soon
after making the threat, and Thomas
Scarsdale considered that he might
take peacGable possession of both land
and timber. However, there was no
occasion to cut the wood, and no move
was MADE to do so for many years.
Indeed the property remained as II
was till Howard ScarSdale became en-
gagged to Elsie Kirchoff. Then Howard
concluded to build Il house for himself
and the girl he was to marry in the
center of the woods. Before beginning
he sold the timber to make way for
| the house to i man who was to take il
away.
The first tree cut down fell on one
| of the men engaged in the work and
| killed him. Then when it had been
| sawed into logs and they were being
removed from the property u chain
| broke. a log rolled down on Il man, and
| another life was sacrificed. Some
body spoke of the threat of the Kir
choff who had lost the suit, and that
ended for the time any attempt to
remove the timber, for no one would
undertake the job.
One night Elsie KirchOff. who occu.
pied the family home on the west edge
of the wood, being awake. heard the
sound of an ak which she fancicd came
from the spot where her tiance had
purchased to build their nest. The next
day she told Howard of the circum
stance. Howard insisted that she mus
have been mistaken. No one had beer
chopping in the wood. He made Il per
sonal examination, which confirmed
what he had said. But Elsie remained
firm In maintaining that she had hcart
an aXman at work. Howard told hel
that she would soon hear axmen, fQl
he had succeeded in securing new
gang of men for the purpose of taking
away the timber.
The next day the body of man wa!
carried by Elsie Kirchoff's house. The
bearers set the bier down in front o
the house to rest, and Elsie shrinking

A Century of Steamboats,.

A century has elapsed since Robert
Fulton's first successful steamboat,
the "Clermont," steamed ND the HUI l.
son to Albany. the voyage occupying
80 hours. This was on Aug. II, 1907.
The success of Fultons enterprise ex-
cited much rivalry, and was followed
by the rapid multiplication of steam
boats, and by improvement in Their
construction and the application OF
their motive power, until we have to-
day in the Lusitania-which will prob
ably reach New York at an early hour
today on its initial trip across the
ocean-the worlds greatest steamship
the one which stays the last word of a
century of progress in the application
of steam to navigation.
From F'ulton's puny craft paddlin.,
its slow way up the Hudson, to the
32,500-ton Cunarder with it's engines
of 10000 horse power, and a world
breaking record of crossing the Alta :.

development which is the most inter.

Don't Worry"

Don't worry if you would live to
pass the century mark. At least this
is the lesson to be drawn from the life
|of Joseph Kline of Philadelphia, who
on Monday acknowledged that he was
LOG years old.
81 don't know that | have followed
any rules he said. Il have lived just
naturally. l smoke when l feel like it
during the day; take a little drink in
the morning and another on going to
bed, but | don't worry. AS for medi-
cine, sunshine and open air are the
only kinds | ever took. l was sick
once-an attack of the grip; but it
lasted only a few days"
What a beautiful thought that is, and
how grateful a man or a woman ought
to be who can't worry. For it is easier
to tell either not to worry than it is to
prevent some of us from worrying.
You have a note to meet tomorrow.
LET the other fellow do the worrying
is the advice the world gives you.
You have lost your position and
don't know where to get another, and
you have a family on your hands de-
pending on you for their bread and
butter. Don't worry" says the man
who has lived to be 100 years old.
Worry won't help you pay that note.
Worry won't help you find another po-
sition,' you are told.
All of this is true. The more you
worry the more unfit you are to devise
the means by which you can meet that
note; the more unable you are to plan
to secure a place which will keep your
wife and your children from the poor
house.
Don't worry" and you are better
equipped to meet all of the thousand
and one trials which meet you in your
| journey through life
You may not live to be 106 years old
but your life, whether long or short
will be happier and you will overcome
the easier all the obstacles of life.
