Why Are We So hard9

The following motto was on the
wall OF woman's bedroom: Let us
take hands and help each other to-day,
because we are alive together"
She ia a bride of year, and that
is the sentiment with which she fur
nished her bedroom and tries to car
ry out in her everyday life. The hard
blow we give with word, the mean
thought or harsh judgment recoils on
ourselves. No woman who is hard
and critical is happy.
Take hands and help each other to-
day is the sure road to contentment
and happiness.

Insects Bite May Cost Man His Arm

Wilmington, Del, July 16. - Edward
Wooten, of this city, was bitten by an
insect several days ago. and it was
said that his physicians are of the
opinion that in order to save his life
his right arm will have to be ampu-
tated. The insect bit Wooten on the
arm, and much pain and swelling fol.
lowed. So rapidly did the infection
spread that within twentyfour hours
the arm became three times its normal
size. Physicians succeeded in reduc,
ing the swelling slightly, but they
think that it may be necessary finally
to perform an operation.
