The Don't Worry Theory.

The usual advice given to the wor-
rier is. Don't worry" This advice is
foolish because impractical. No one
can stop thinking one type Of thought
except by substituting for 1t another.
Besides, it is dangerous advice, for,
even supposing one could mechanical
ly put an end to worrying state Of
mind, he would simply be like an en-
gineer who should plant himself on the
safety valve Of his engine. The energy
expended in worry, turned inward on
itself, would tear the mental mechan.
ism to pieces. No! What the wor-
ried man or woman needs evidently
is to be taught how to find a health
full outlet for his or her nervous power
thus going to waste. II we say Don't
worry" let us also be careful to add.
But work." and let us also point out
what kind of work should be under
taken and the spirit in which 1t ought
to be done. In other words, what the
worrier needs is e-education.-Rev. 8.

Jefferson Davis Ambition.

Jefferson Davis was a man OF most
sincere conviction d courageous ac-
ton, and when til, ;uthern Confeder'
acy was about to be organized his sin.
gle ambition was the command Of the
Confederate army. This had from
his own lips at his residence at Beau
voir, Miss, some fifteen years after
the war. He told me that when he
started for Montgomery, Ala, when
the movement began for the organi-
cation Of the Confederacy he hoped to
be called to the command Of the army,
but before he reached Montgomery he
was advised Of his election as pro-
visionary president. When he reached
the new capital Of the Confederacy
he found 1t impossible to change condi-
tons, and he was compelled to accept
the presidency, and he entered upon
that duty as conscientiously as any
public man ever entered upon an Of
fetal career.-Colonel A. K. Mcclure

How Men and Women Face Death.

How do men and women face death
when the sentence is pronounced by
the doctor? A medical man tells us
his experience. Tell the man of higher
type and greater intelligence. he says,
that he is facing death and he begins
to fight, demands a consultation. talks
about going to specialists and fights
grlmly to the finish. Tell a woman
the same facts. and she lies back to
await her fate. All women are fatal
lists. On the other hand, tell a man
that he has one chance In thousand
to recover If he will undergo an opera
ton, and he will trust to his own
strength and endurance rather than
undergo the knife. The woman will
choose the thousandth chance and sub
NIT to the operation with astounding
calmness.-Woman's Life.

A Yoda Story.

For fourteen years Bava Luchman
Dass received from the priests Of the
Black Caves Of central India the nee
essary education In order to become a
yoga, as a yoga must be capable OF
taking the forty-eight postures Of the
Hindoo idols. Perhaps the greatest
trick consists In balancing himself on
the ends Of his fingers while the whole
OF his body is in the air. Bava stated
that in order to obtain the rank or
yoga in the Black Caves Of India he
had to continue in this position on the
ends Of his fingers under the eyes OF
the judges, without seconds inter
val, for seven days and nights!-Strand

Labor in the Campaign.


There was significance in the pa

meeting held In protest against Taft.
Not long ago an official of the feder-
alton of labor said to me somewhat
cynically that the labor vote could
never be depended upon to help a
friend, but would invariable be a
unit in knocking one whom working
men considered an enemy. The work
ingmen of this country have consid-
cred William H. Taft their enemy

They have not changed their atti-
nde, and | hazard the prediction that
