COMMON LOT OF ALL MANKIND.
Who 10 There Among Us Who Can
Escape from Worry

Calmness and serenity are recon-
mended for almost everything in these
days. Horace Fletcher considers
these qualities even more important
than chewing, in the attainment of
health. The beauty doctors say that
no cosmetics will avail to prevent
wrinkles and preserve Syouth without
calmness and serenity, and they are
said to be the most potent of all
charms In her who would be pleasing
to the opposite sex. BE serene,
sweet maid" says the authorities;
'let who will be vivacious"
1t all sounds very simple, but in
order to follow such advice 1t would
be necessary to be a hermit, and then
what would be the use of being well
or beautiful or attractive? How can
anyone be serene who plays golf, or
has cantankerous relatives, who wants
to argue about woman suffrage or re-
ligion, or who has not sure and Ger.
tain and adequate income? Man that
is born Of woman is born to worry, as
the sparks fly upward, and it is only
adding irritation to his other woes
to tell him that all good things may
be his II he win only be serene.

SAVE wlDowERs FROM SHARES.
Elderly Colonel Advocates Passage
Of Most Stringent Law.

The crash of cannon turned the old
colonel's thoughts toward death.
81 know of three millionaire septua-
genarian widowers," he said, gloomily,
whose sons killed them because they
were about to marry young girls of
20 or SO. 1t is very dangerous thing
for a rich old man to marry a young
girl.
Were l a legislator, I'd propose a
new law, a law TO protect Gobsa Code
or Potter Roxe, with their 70 years,
their millions and their vigilant, mid
dle-aged, grasping sons and daughters,
from the peril of wedding some beau
tiful creature of 10 or 10 summers.
''This law should say simply that no
man over 65, If he married a woman
more than Is years younger than him
self, could leave his wife cent of his
property nor could he-lest In his life
time he make transfers to her-handle
after his marriage any part of his es-
tate save only the income"
The colonel chuckled rather sadly.
Such a law" he said. would do
much to prevent so many pretty girls
from falling in love with us grizzled,
