It is not work that kills; 1t is Wor-
~. It is not toll that burdens your
self and others half 80 much as tem-
per, undisciplined and uncontrolled.
Sorrow and struggle destroy the soul
only when there is rebellion within.
The stress and strain of life is mani
fest in your face because Of the fret
and anxiety in your heart. The
wrinkles on the brow are often tne
result of acrimony, not age. What
a difference it would make in the
lives of men and women II, by the
grace of God, they would truly take
the woke of Jesus and live their lives
under His guidance and control. II
Is wonderful how all the little diff
culties Of life are smoothed away by
the presence of Christ in the heart.
Take his yoke upon you, that amaz-
ing, august, sublime yoke and burden
of His cross bearer with the LORD
Jesus for the salvation Of men" and
then see how your heavy burdens Will
be lightened, your own toll find sat-
isfaction unknown before, your own
sorrow and struggle be sweetened by
the sense of a near and vital COM
panionship with Jesus. Come to Him
who found room in His heavy laden
life for your care and for your bur-
den and bore them in infinite COM
passion and love; come to Him and
find rest.

SUICIDE AT GEORGETOWN.
S. VI. Tompkins Kills Himself Be
cause of Financial Troubles.

Georgetown, Sept. 16.-Monday
morning at $3.50 o'clock Mr.. s. N
Tompkins, who resided at 1109 King
street, committed suicide by shoot
ing himself through the head with a
.32 caliber pistol. He leaves wife
and two children, the children being
about IL and IA years Of age, respec-
lively.
Mr.. Tompkins came to this city
about a year ago from Enterprise and
has been running a private boarding
house in the old Beckman building.
He was thought to be doing very well
OF late but from what can be learned,
his trouble seems to have arisen from
financial embarrassment.
Mr.. Tompkins seemed to be in ex-
cellent spirits and was talking and
laughing with his boarders. After
leaving the table he entered the hall
from the dining room, and very soon
the report of a pistol was heard. The
family and all the boarders rushed
into the hall, and found Mr.. Tomp-
kins lying PROSTATE, face downward,
on the floor. Drs. Gilliard and Beck
man were summoned by phone, but
when they reached the scene, Mr..
Tompkins had breathed his last.
Three letters were found on his per-
son; one addressed to Mr.. Burroughs.
Of Conway, another to Mr.. Hal BUCK,
of Bucksport, and the other to his
wife stated that he preferred death
to life, as he owed great deal OF
money and could not see how he
would ever be able to pay it. His
letter to his wife closed with fare
we'll to her and the children. Mr..
Tompkins was insured in the Wood
men Of the World, also in two New
York life insurance companies.
His remains were taken to Con-
way, where they will be laid to rest
with Masonic honors. The sincerest
sympathy Of the entire community is
with the bereaved wife and children.

The action of today's market was

Europe Is still after copper metal and
If continued, the metal should be sell

the least, as It was expected that 50
would be paid. At the present price
Of copper the Calumet & Arizona is
earning from $11 to $12 per share and
is only paying 81, per share. II looks
as though a healthy surplus would

Especial Wire to L. ]. Overlook
BOSTON, Nov. 1.-THE consolida-
ton of Franklin and Rhode Island has
caused much favorable comment, ana
both stocks have been well bought.
The whole copper list is very dull ano
narrow, but it will do better soon and
Franklin and Rhode Island should be
the leaders. Copper Range was well
bought yesterday In quiet way and
closed with a gain of IL point. The
dividend of 81 by the c. & A. was not
as large as expected and scattered
selling made five point break. The
North Butte dividend of 81 had NJ
effect. Have patience and keep long
of the coppers and you will make no
mistake. The brass rolling mills are
doing new business faster than then
can handle il now.
Calumet wires: Calumet & Ari-
iona dividend is payable December.
Books close December and reopen
December 18th. Acquisition of new
properties is reason for not increas-
ing dividend rate at this time.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Activity in
the list was confined to the rails, ana
the industrials we're inclined to lag,
particularly Amalgamated an Smelt-
ers, which have been under pressure
during the past few sessions, as fears
are expressed in some quarters of a
decline in copper metal as result OF
lull in the buying by consuming In
terests. However, IL seems to be the
opinion that reports of further inn
provement in Industrial circles will
be quickly reflected by higher prices
for the metal issues. During the
early part of the session the list was
irregular, but in the last hour the Hill
and Hartman issues became conspic-
uously strong. Speciality operations
continue TO be the feature, but the
acton of the list still indicates that
the tendency Is upward.

NEW PREMIUMS FOR
CATTLE DISPLAY

Interest in the cattle department OF
the New Castle county fair has been
heightened by a special premium Of
$50 offered by B. dupont for the larg
est herd Of cattle and one Of $40 offered
by Il. Coleman DUPONT for the winner
of the largest number of blue ribbons.
These premiums will do much toward
making the cattle department a suc-
cess. The following appeal to the in
terest of farmers throughout the State
has been issued by B. DUPONT, super
intendent of the cattle department:
Cooperation is the basis of society;
two men can roll a bigger stone than
either one could alone.
"The New Castle County Agricultural
Fair Association is a body OF farmers
who wish all farmers to get together
to roll the stone of agriculture, by
means of samples Of the products OF
the farm.
For the above reasons the cattle
department Of the New Castle Faif
Association asks that you send sample
COW, calf, steer, OK or bull, and where
possible, age, increase of weight in

time, food used, etc.
